Sherlock has been waiting for this day to come, he has always hoped that he can have an opponent, but also an opponent who is equal to himself.

And the day finally came.

The unknown opponent in front of Sherlock showed his caution from the very beginning.The other party did not leave his fingerprints, and his voice was not heard, ensuring that no one could know his origin.But he also properly showed his omniscience and omnipotence, which was enough to make Sherlock interested in him, but also made everyone feel taboo about his cruelty.

The other party gave Sherlock twelve hours to solve the puzzles he left him, but there was no hint from the beginning to the end.

In this case, the only way to solve this puzzle is to start with the pair of white sneakers in front of them.

After confirming that there is no problem in the pair of sneakers, Sherlock took it to the Barts Medical School where Jasmine Amber is located, hoping to use the equipment inside to study the secrets hidden in the pair of sneakers.

Sherlock has never been a figure in name only, and he knows what he has to do, so he scrapes the dirt from the bottom of his sneakers to find a clue.

John was a little worried about the woman who was taken hostage, but he also knew that he couldn't help. If he wanted to trace the source of the phone with Lestrade, he couldn't do anything, and he would hinder Scotland Yard, so He decided to stay with Sherlock just in case.

If the mysterious person hiding behind the scenes decides not to play the game, but to face Sherlock face to face, John believes that he can still help Sherlock not be hurt by others.

Besides, he was Sherlock's assistant, not a Scotland Yard police officer.

And most importantly, John also believed that Scotland Yard would not be more efficient than Sherlock. As long as Sherlock could find clues, he believed that the poor woman would be fine.

The only thing that makes John a little upset is that Sherlock doesn't take that woman seriously, but instead immerses himself in the puzzles arranged by the mysterious mastermind behind the scenes.

Suddenly, Sherlock's phone rang, indicating that it had accepted a text message.

"John, help me look at my phone." Sherlock, who was staring at the front of the microscope, said that he needed John's help.

"Okay, but where is your cell phone?" John looked around in Sherlock's direction, because the notification tone for accepting the text message just now came from him, but no matter how sharp John's eyes are, he can't see it now Sherlock's mobile phone, so he had to ask the owner of the mobile phone.

"It's in my coat pocket." Sherlock said nonchalantly something that actually made people feel embarrassed, which made John roll his eyes.

John walked to Sherlock's side, and angrily put his hand into the other's jacket pocket, trying to take out Sherlock's cell phone from it.But his rude actions didn't make Sherlock feel unhappy, but in order to avoid this situation from getting worse in the future, Sherlock had to remind the other party: "Be gentle!"

Well, John lightened his hands this time, took out the phone from Sherlock's pocket, opened it, and told him, "It's a text message from your brother." John looked at the unread text messages In that column, there were eight of them, and they were all from McCoff.

"Delete it directly." Sherlock didn't even raise his head, and continued to study the microorganisms in the microscope.

"Delete? Why?" John didn't understand Sherlock's resistance to Mycroft so much, after all they were brothers, and McCoff obviously loved his brother very much - in his own way.But why didn't Sherlock even bother to read Mycroft's text messages?

"That plan has already flowed out of the country, and there is nothing we can do about it." That's because Sherlock knew what the text message from Mycroft should be, even if he didn't read it.

"Oh, my God!" John groaned, for he had forgotten that Mycroft had asked him to do so.He quickly flipped through one of the text messages, and as expected, it was asking about the progress of the case.

Now how to do?To investigate the case that Mycroft hopes to have an answer, or to follow Sherlock to help him find the answer and rescue the hostages.

In fact, in John's opinion, the death of an unknown woman is not in his eyes, so he should choose to investigate the Mycroft case well.But he is also Sherlock's assistant, he can't just watch the other party in danger, so he has to make a choice.

Is it Yao Sulin?

Or Sherlock?

Well, the answer has always been there.

At the very least, John has always cared about Sherlock, and he even forgot about Yao Sulin.So which one is he going to choose, does he need to ask?

Frustrated, John stuffed the phone back into Sherlock's jacket pocket, and at the same time did not forget to make the last struggle: "Is there really no way..."

Before John finished speaking, Sherlock already knew what he was going to ask, so he intercepted John's words and answered his question: "Anyway, McCoff is not in a hurry, is he?!"

Sherlock finally pulled his eyes out of the microscope and said, "How else would he have time to go to the dentist?"

"What did you say he saw? The dentist?" John was sure that Sherlock had been with him all day, why could he deduce the conclusion that Mycroft was seeing the dentist?

"Mycroft would never send a text message if he could talk." Sherlock has never been stingy about showing his clever brain, not to mention he knows McCoff quite well.Of course, Sherlock would be delighted if John had sweet words of praise on his lips after he showed his brains.

After explaining John's confusion about McCoff's visit to the dentist, he explained to him again about the case that McCoff wanted the two of them to investigate.

"Andrew West stole the missile defense plan and wanted to sell it, but he lost his life, that's all!" Sherlock used the most logical deductive reasoning to perfunctory John. "And the only doubt is, why did my brother bother me with such an interesting case after all?"

While speaking, Sherlock adjusted the angle of the microscope, and then immersed himself in the world of microorganisms again.

John felt that Sherlock was a bit out of line, but he was not an idiot, so he figured it out in the next moment.The fun case that Sherlock was talking about was about the sneakers, not the fun case that McCoff had asked for.

John felt a little powerless, and he didn't even feel like he was bothering to remind Sherlock that this case was not fun at all, because there was another poor woman dying.

Suddenly, the instrument connected to the microscope made a beeping sound, which made Sherlock almost jump up for joy.

"Did you find anything?" The door of the laboratory was pushed open, and Jasmine Amber, who let Sherlock enjoy the laboratory, walked in.

"Of course." Sherlock said briskly, and then he turned sideways, allowing Jasmine who stepped forward to have a seat to observe the experimental equipment.

But before the follow-up words were spoken, the door was pushed open again.This time, a young man in a tight gray T-shirt entered the door. He had short gray-black hair and was handsome. He looked like a harmless man without any aggressiveness. He was a completely different type from Sherlock and John.

He entered the laboratory and was at a loss when he saw two strange men inside: "Sorry, I don't know..." He said so, and then he was about to exit the same way.

But Jasmine stopped him: "Jin, is it you? It's okay, you can come in."

Molly introduced Jin to Sherlock and John. They wanted to show friendship, but Sherlock was never a friendly person, and John was not familiar with Jasmine, so he didn't bother to speak, and just listened to Sherlock open again. With his sarcasm skills, he tells Molly that his boyfriend Kim is gay.

Although Jasmine made a rescue for Jin, Sherlock's disdain really made him very embarrassed. After finally making an appointment with Jasmine, he hurriedly left.

After Jin left, Jasmine wanted to reprimand Sherlock for talking nonsense, but Sherlock used his deduction to tell Jasmine that he did not talk nonsense, and that Jin also left Sherlock's phone number and secretly put it on Xia Locke's door. Under the small tray next to Locke.

In the face of the facts, King is indeed a homosexual.

So Sherlock sincerely advised Jasmine to save time, break up with Jin quickly, and find another one.

Well, at least Sherlock thought his tone was sincere.

Jasmine was almost going crazy, but she didn't know whether it was because of Sherlock or because of Jin, but she knew that she really didn't have the mood to bother with Sherlock's case anymore, anyway, he was so smart, and she was just superfluous!

So she ran out of the lab.

Jasmine left, and only Sherlock, who was still at ease, and John Watson, who was full of black lines, were left in the laboratory.

This guy is really nasty!

John thought so, but he still kept his mouth shut wisely.
