"What's the matter with you? How dare you say such dangerous words. It's the bloodline awakening period. It's also the influence of the full moon." Ursula leaned forward and held Eric Holmes' face, carefully looking into his eyes , to confirm the situation of his magic power.

"Leave with me under the moon, that's what a bad elf who is a kidnapper would say." She said with the tone of educating bad children.

Little Holmes lowered his head numbly and let Miss Witch fiddle with him, allowing her to observe him closely.He was even close enough to Ursula's face that he could see his own reflection in those golden eyes.

"It's okay. It's just that the emotional atmosphere of the human gathering and the power of the full moon rushed to the head at the same time." Eric closed his eyes helplessly, and when he opened them again.The bright silver halo shining inside disappeared, and he turned back into the young detective with deep silver-gray eyes.

"That's good." Ursula let him go with a reassuring look when his eyes changed back.Then he took a few steps back, took a few steps away, and leaned against the marble railing again. "Restrain yourself. Although human emotions can bring vitality, they can also be poison."

"Miss Watson." Little Holmes couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he saw her operations.

"Ok?"

"You are a witch."

"Uh, I am?" She tilted her head blankly. "Didn't you already know that?"

"Yes. I have always known," said Eric Holmes gently.

"So?" Ursula was confused by him.

Just as the two people were looking at each other and falling into this strange atmosphere of conversation, there was a miserable scream in the hall.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Killed!"

The two immediately put aside the topic, lifted the curtain and rushed out.

"Ah, help!" A young man was crawling on the ground with his stomach in his arms.In front of him stood a girl who looked just like Ursula, who looked like a novice in society.

She held up a broken goblet, and there were a few red lines on her white arms.Her hands were red as if stained with blood.

A small piece of red was dyed on the chest of the dress decorated with white roses.

"Is this a stabbing?" Ursula said, observing the blood volume. "But the man's crawling movements are a bit nimble."

"Carrie Howard" Little Holmes suddenly said a female name.

"Huh? You know this lady?" Ursula turned to look at him.

"Last on the missing list," said young Holmes. "The evaluation is gentle and kind. Even ants can't bear to step on it. When I was a child, I was killed by a gardener because of a pest in the garden, and I cried all day."

"That's quite kind." Ursula nodded. "So what made this kind lady suddenly stab someone? And the 'she's not her' reason after disappearing?"

"I also know the one who was stabbed. The way to know Miss Howard is the same as reading the case file." Eric Holmes continued to add.

By this time the music had stopped and there was chaos in the hall.Several men rushed up and restrained Miss Howard who seemed to be mad.There were also several gentlemen who looked like doctors, holding the heart of the young man who was panting on the ground, and examining his wounds.

"Understood, her fiancé?" Ursula watched as the wine glass was snatched away without any resistance. "Why does it feel like this lady hasn't lost her mind?"

"Okay, Miss. Have you calmed down yet?" A soldier-looking man confirmed that the other party stopped moving and did not try to struggle to hurt others.Slowly loosen the grip on her.

"I'm very calm, Mr. Colonel." The lady smiled, and she was even in the mood to tidy up the crooked hair accessories that had just been restrained.

"You must think I'm crazy, but I'm very sober now. Earl Wood? You stand up quickly, don't pretend. The blood is obviously mine. I didn't even pierce your vest. Tsk"

Miss Howard rubbed her hand very unladyily on the fabric of her bosom, staining the white rose corsage red.

"However, since this is the case, our engagement can also be dissolved. You certainly don't want to be with a fiancée who will stab someone after being rudely insulted by you!" She said with her head held high.

"Swearing!" said Ursula, poking little Holmes. "Let's talk about it first, based on this, I will stand up to the lady first!"

"Hey, hello." Eric Holmes looked helplessly at Miss Witch who had entered the melon-eating mode. "These two are parties to the case, too. Be sober, Ursula. Do you see anything wrong?"

"Uh, no. The blood on Miss Howard's body really looks like her own. It was made by smashing a glass? Too careless, if you want me, just ask the waiter for a bottle." Ursula looked at being supported Get up, commented Earl Wood, who was indeed unscathed on the surface.

"I'm not talking about that." Eric put Ursula's shoulders on her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "What do you see Miss Howard looking like?"

"Wearing a white dress, with a white rose, oh, now a beautiful lady with blond hair and a red rose." Ursula looked sideways at Eric. "What's the matter? This conversation is a bit familiar. Did I ask you this before?"

"That's right. It's my fault now." Little Holmes put his chin lightly on the top of Ursula's head and said lazily: "What I saw was a blond boy, and his overall appearance was tempered." Very arrogant."

Now, to those around her, it looked as if Ursula was leaning against the arms of little Sherlock Holmes.

But because Ursula was lost in thought, and most of all because her coiled hair was nerveless, she didn't notice this subtle move of the other party.

"Can you see the male version of her in the girl?" Ursula thought about the books she had read. "This situation seems to be similar? What is it?"

"One body, two souls?" Little Holmes suggested.

"No, the soul belongs to one person. It's just that the gender of the soul has changed." Ursula retorted subconsciously associating the different appearances of Mary Norton she had seen. "Wait for a gender change. Crazy horse! Bah, bah, bah. It's the spring water of Hemaphrodite in Greek mythology!"

Ursula actually almost wanted to talk about the spring water in the Ranma 1/2 manga, but fortunately she reacted and turned back on the right track.

"But that's not only useful for men, but also for the body. How could it involve the soul." She was puzzled.

"I can only continue to investigate. This kind of soul change, but in other people's eyes, it's just a big change in temperament." Eric looked at the scene in front of him that could be regarded as a scandal in the aristocratic circle. .

"Or crazy?" Ursula sarcastically said, "Fortunately, it's just a fiancée. So you can still talk about a big change in temperament. If it's a wife, it must be just a crazy woman in the attic."

She suddenly thought of the wife of the hero in Jane Eyre, and fell silent.

Eric didn't speak, and the two quietly watched the dissolution of the engagement like everyone else.

"Then goodbye, no, farewell, Earl~" Miss Howard signed the document of dissolution of engagement prepared by the well-meaning person (referring to Earl Wood's opponent) with her mother's expression on the verge of fainting and her father's anger, and directly The marriage contract was terminated under the notarization of everyone.

"You don't want to hang out in society, you .

The crowd of onlookers whispered again.

"I don't care, sir... I'm going back to Ugly Country. Isn't it good to inherit the family business and spend it on your own? I have to help you repair that dilapidated and smelly castle." Miss Howard said with her ear.

"You!" The count jumped angrily, and he looked at the expressions of the guests in the hall who were basically watching.Suppressing the fire, after accepting the documents, he pushed aside the crowd and left by himself.

"How rude!" said a lady in a purple dress who was pushed away by the earl. "Who doesn't know that he's about to go bankrupt, so he's still pretending to be aloof. If you want me to say that there is nothing wrong with Miss Howard, there is no need for such a man who disrespects ladies!"

Her status seems high.Because as soon as she said that, other women began to chime in.The men nearby also came up to make fun of it.

"Hmm. It's over." Ursula had a headache. "Is this change a good thing?"

"It looks pretty good for now." Eric commented objectively. "But we can't confirm that the original intention of making them like this is good."

"Have you seen enough excitement?" Dr. Watson's voice sounded from behind.He took another look at the posture of the two of them, but said nothing. "Come on, you can go home. Holmes is already waiting for you at the door."

"Okay." The two young men quickly agreed, and followed Dr. Watson out of the hall.

The four of them reviewed what they saw today in the carriage.Even Mr. Sherlock Holmes has the same opinion as Eric: "Although it seems to be beneficial to the fiancée, these rich heiresses have become tough. But the amnesia is always very concerning."

"However, it's useless to be anxious. You should rest early. Go to a few places with me tomorrow to do a survey, and don't run around by yourself." Mr. Holmes glanced at the two restless young people.

"Okay." Ursula and Eric agreed with a smile.

After driving for a while in the dark London streets, we arrived.The two pairs of partners separated at the gate and entered different buildings.

"Ursula!"

Eric Holmes stopped Miss Witch who was going to her room on the third floor.

"Is there anything else?" She leaned on the handrail and looked at little Holmes standing on the second floor.

"Can you stop using that bottle of perfume?" Eric looked up and asked her.

"Yes." Ursula readily agreed. "I didn't intend to use it for a long time."

"Great, except for the weirdness of the store. Does the smell of this soul make me embarrassed?" Eric smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ursula felt embarrassed when she saw Holmes' expression. Who is this shy young man?She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Speak up, Eric. This look doesn't suit you."

"Ah, is that so?" Eric quickly retracted the innocent boy's expression, with a bit of regret in his tone. "You actually don't like this type, but I'm really embarrassed."

"What's the matter?" Ursula asked in surprise. "This is the perfume I use, don't you like the smell?"

"No, quite the contrary. This is my favorite flower," said Eric Holmes. "It's just that today is a full moon."

He looked up with a smile: "It's purely my selfishness. I don't want the moon to see you."

Hearing this strange statement, Ursula's thinking froze for a moment.For a moment, she really didn't understand what the other party meant.

What does evening primrose perfume have to do with the moon?But immediately, after she realized the subtext of the other party, the scorching heat rushed to her cheeks instantly.

"You are too rude, little Mr. Holmes!" After she couldn't help throwing down such a sentence, she rushed upstairs without looking back.

He blamed himself while running.What are you running away from! Anti-molesting and going back.Don't you usually speak well?She wanted to turn back on the spot, but she always felt that she missed the opportunity again.

Ursula was even more annoyed after hearing Eric's joyous laughter when he was left behind.

"I always feel like I've lost something. Ahhh! It's time to go to bed. Don't be fooled by the fake marriage atmosphere, Ursula, calm down!" She sat on the dressing table and did some mental work for herself. building.

"He's a half-elf. What kind of sweet talk can't the elves say on a full moon night? They're just passing through the fields. When they see a pretty little girl picking wild vegetables, they can sing hymns. When they're happy, they open the gate and take her away. Go on a day trip race."

After patting her face, Ursula felt that the temperature was normal, put down the mirror in satisfaction, threw herself into the soft bed, and fell asleep in seconds without any psychological pressure.

Eric Holmes was amused after he managed to see Ursula's angry face.

However, his happy mood only lasted until breakfast the next day.

Ursula did not come down to dinner on time.It should be said that she did not show up in the living room all morning.Eric didn't care, after all, this happened before, and Miss Witch got angry yesterday, it's normal if she doesn't want to have breakfast with him.

However, until the appointment time with Sherlock at noon, the other party did not appear to come out of the bedroom.Little Holmes couldn't sit still, he thought for a while, and chose to ask Mrs. Hudson directly for a spare key, and opened the door on the third floor.

The door opened quickly, and Mrs. Hudson was muttering that it was not good to go directly into the lady's room.Eric went directly to open the door of Ursula's bedroom.

The translucent gauze bed curtain was lifted roughly by him, and he looked at the empty bed, only to see that the quilt was lifted and tucked up in the corner of the bed.

He looked back at the window, the one in the bedroom was obviously closed, and the curtains were drawn tightly.

Eric reached out to test the temperature of the bed, and sure enough, it was cold.The owner has obviously left it for a long time.

After searching carefully and unwillingly in the dressing room and the small living room, he finally confirmed that there was no Miss Witch on the entire third floor.

At this moment, little Sherlock Holmes' complexion involuntarily became gloomy, and he was clutching a card found under Ursula's pillow. His expression was so terrifying that Mrs. Hudson, who was about to say something, frightened.

Eric took a deep breath, unfolded the card that had been pinched and deformed, and turned down the stairs from the third floor without saying hello to the good-natured landlady very rudely, walked out of the gate quickly, and arrived at In front of Holmes and Dr. Watson who had waited for a while, they spoke directly:

"Ursula is missing."

When the two adults heard the news for the first time, their expressions were obviously blank.However, Dr. Watson still reacted very quickly, and he opened his mouth eagerly to ask about the specific situation.

But Little Holmes didn't give him this chance, what the other party said next was so shocking that the doctor forgot to close his slightly opened mouth.

"I found this in her room."

Eric spread out a creased Tarot card in front of Dr. Watson and Mr. Holmes.

Only the groom and the officiant are relatively silent on the card, and the bride's place is empty.

Another lover card of the vanished bride.
