Under the premise of the masquerade ball, it is difficult for Carlotta to distinguish which one is the phantom.However, according to Sherlock Holmes's observation ability, which is as keen as his own hearing, Carlota thinks that the great detective should have indeed discovered it.

"How did you find out?"

"you guess?"

"..."

Carlotta gave Holmes a blank look, and slowly searched for the person who might be the phantom among the dancing crowd.She remembered the footsteps of almost everyone in this theater, so the person who hadn't heard it before should be the Phantom.

Taking advantage of the turning of the crowd to carefully search one by one, Carlotta fixed his sight on a person wearing a red costume with half of his shoulders.Although she could feel that this person should be her partner Pirgi before, it feels different now.

This person seems to be watching everything indifferently, only when the partner is exchanged to Christine, there is some warmth.This temperature is too warm, warm like...

"What do you want to do?"

Pressing down on Carlotta who wanted to rush up immediately, Holmes' voice was a little more helpless besides the warning: "Rush up now and pull the two of them apart? Miss Lester, why is it only about Miss Dai Ye?" Are you so impulsive?"

"..."

Carlotta took a few deep breaths to suppress the shock in his heart, and then slowly let out a breath before saying, "I'm sorry."

"So why do you become so impulsive whenever you encounter this matter?"

Holmes' words became a little harsher, and at the same time he relaxed his strength.Carlotta glanced at himself, who seemed to be hugged all over, and showed a sly smile while avoiding the question: "Can you let me go?"

"If you're not impulsive, I will."

"Don't worry, it won't, it's just that I was a little violent just now."

Holmes let go of his hand suspiciously. To be honest, Carlota's actions just now made him instantly vigilant.Perhaps it was because of her usual rationality that he relaxed a little bit, from now on he decided to re-firm the idea of ​​"women are emotional, and Miss Lester is no exception".

Carlotta smiled and ignored Holmes' vigilance. She also became a little nervous because she heard the phantom's existence.

"Sorry, I'm really a little too sensitive."

"I hope you learn today's lesson in the future."

Carlotta nodded, looking at the phantom dancing with Christine, and seeing his gloomy aura when exchanging partners, it was inevitable that he would hold Holmes' hand tightly.

"do not worry."

Leaning closer to Carlota's ear, Holmes' sharp gray eyes pretended to be inadvertently glanced at the direction where the Phantom might leave, and at the same time turned around on everyone's faces.He had been taken by Raoul to act in the theater before, so many people had a wary attitude towards him.But it's different now, he can basically pay attention to everyone's expressions, and...

"The phantom's target seems to be the ring on Miss Dai Ye's neck."

"So he's not happy with the news of Kristen's engagement?"

"I'm afraid so."

When everyone's eyes are gathered on the dance floor, the corner next to it is often ignored, not to mention two people hiding directly next to the pillars in the theater hall: "What else did you see?"

Carlotta subconsciously glanced at everyone in the ballroom. The exaggerated makeup made it difficult for her to see each other's faces clearly, and her footsteps were extremely disorganized because she was dancing: "Sorry, the scene was a bit chaotic."

"It's okay, but you can pay attention to that ballet teacher."

Ballet teacher?Carlotta subconsciously looked towards Mrs. Gilly, who was dressed seriously even for a masquerade ball. She was not dancing, but was sitting in the crowd to observe...

Following Mrs. Gilly's gaze, Carlotta gasped: "She's not looking at her daughter Little Meg, but at the Phantom?"

"So it's interesting, isn't it?"

Holmes smiled in a low voice, and his voice instantly became extremely charming: "I had doubts before, but I didn't expect it to be true. It's just that I don't know how a widowed ballerina teacher lives in a theater." The Phantom is connected."

"Then needless to say, if you can't guess, just ask."

Carlotta has always been simple and rude, and at this moment, she felt that ten thousand alpacas ran past her: "She taught Christine ballet back then!"

"Well, it can be regarded as evidence."

Seeing Carlota hopping, Holmes pressed the corner of his mouth that was too upturned and looked too happy, and frowned immediately after seeing the phantom mixed into the crowd and left: "I think he will be back soon."

"What are you doing back here?"

"Declaration of war."

Yes, it was a declaration of war, on everyone—and on Raoul and Christine in addition.Carlotta looked at the phantom holding the music score and couldn't help leaning towards Holmes: "I'm so disgusted, can't I kill him directly with my little pistol?"

"Miss Lester, you are too rude. Don't you wonder why he became what he is now? The reason for being in the theater, the reason for being infatuated with Miss Daye, the ballet teacher will always look at his past , and there are so many secret passages in this theater? And most importantly, if you shoot here, it will cause you trouble."

"..."

Well, Carlotta admitted that his curiosity was completely aroused by this great detective, but his legs were a little sore from squatting on the side. Carlotta secretly put his knees on the cool ground to borrow strength, and immediately Feel better.

As for Holmes' expression?Carlotta was too lazy to turn his head, and continued to stare at the phantom who appeared here at some point.

The Phantom's death skull mask seemed to be smiling but not crying, and instantly quieted the originally noisy dance floor.Carlotta watched him walk towards Christine step by step with the music score, and subconsciously touched his leg, but it was empty.Turning his head to meet Holmes' gaze, Carlota smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hands, bowing his head resignedly.

"Sure enough, it's the simple and rude Miss Lester. Do I have to say that it's fortunate that you didn't bring your beloved little pistol to the masquerade today?"

Holmes snorted, and didn't bother to pay attention to the special tricks of the soprano next to him. His eyes kept gliding across the people present, and then fixed on the Phantom.

He doesn't look like a person with low self-esteem, or in other words, he doesn't look down on everyone present at all, only Christine is what he wants.The command "Perform my show, or everyone here will have bad luck" shows his mentality of a superior, but he dare not stay under the light for too long.

Feeling slightly relieved, Raoul picked up the sheet music on the ground after the phantom left completely, and turned to the first page with a look of scrutiny.

The Triumph of Don Juan.

Don Juan.

Over the years, the most famous Don comes from Mozart's opera Don Giovanni. Carlota pursed her lips, stepped out of the shadows, and took the sheet music from Raoul.

"Are you ready to act?"

Carlota turned around, looked into Christine's eyes, and smiled: "Are you going to act, Christine?"

"Wait, this is..."

"You guys shut up."

Carlotta turned her head and yelled directly at the two managers who couldn't see the situation clearly. She didn't mind changing jobs from here—anyway, she had to have more theaters of her own now.After shocking the audience, Carlotta took the sheet music, handed it to Christine, looked at her confused eyes and said, "This is your decision."

"mine?"

"Yes, yours. No matter what the decision is, it is your decision and the most correct decision."

Christine subconsciously put her hand on her chest but found nothing. Her ring had already been taken away, but the Phantom's announcement before leaving lingered in her ears again.She is not a brave person, but when she saw Carlotta's encouraging eyes and the fear of the people around her, she didn't feel afraid.

What is bad luck?From the clouds to the mire, from birth to death, she has already experienced the worst misfortune in the world.Now that someone who loves her is standing by her side, what fear does she have?

As for the most correct decision... is it the most correct decision no matter what?

Reaching out to take the sheet music, Christine nodded heavily, but her voice trembled when she spoke: "Yes, I will be ready."

This is the repertoire she must go through, and it is also her destiny.

"The dance is over here, everyone can leave."

Raoul put his arms around Christine's shoulders, hoping to bring her some strength. After urging everyone to disperse, Carlotta turned around and still looked at the shadow where the phantom left, and walked towards in the direction of Holmes.

Mrs. Gilly, who was standing aside, looked a little panicked, but stood firmly as if she was a guard, facing the detective.Carlotta smiled when she saw this scene, raised her long skirt slightly and walked towards her.

Now, Mrs. Gilly.

Looking at the ballet teacher in a black dress, Carlotta's gaze was particularly oppressive, and it was more intimidating than Mrs. Gilly, who could silence all the chattering girls with just a clap.

What do you know and what are you hiding.

Please be sure to say it all.

The author has something to say: Whether it is the movie version or the opera version, Mrs. Gilly is a very special existence.The opera versions watched in the UK and the US are all led by Mrs. Gilly, and the movie version is even more expanded. Her image is not so simple as a "tell what happened" character, so in the article I It was derived.

The most famous Don Juan should be Mozart's "Don Juan". Compared with the opera written by Phantom and translated as "Don Juan's Triumph", the two are actually somewhat similar =. =
