Sherlock Holmes' Neighborhood 221C

......

To use a phrase my grandmother used to use: he beckons evil.

She's bullshitting, I mean it.

At that time, I received a call from the hospital. After the doctor told me the basic situation, a boy answered the call.

He said, I want to treat you to a meal in person, okay?Thank you for saving me, okay?

His voice was very earnest and careful at the time, he went on, it's noon, all right?

——I was flying in the afternoon, and I had time for lunch, so I agreed to him, thinking at the time, he doesn't look like a rich person, and I will pay after the meal.

... He should have been poor at that time.

The location is in a local restaurant, not very tidy, but there is air conditioning!It was a small airtight room with the kitchen outside, smoky, and there was a strange smell that couldn't escape when the air conditioner was turned on.

I still remember that I only painted my eyebrows and lips that day, anyway, I was going to meet the kid.I saw him right away, there was no one there, he sat in the middle alone, and when he saw me, he greeted me with a grin, his English was very jerky.

Seeing me coming, I said a few words, I can't remember what he said, his English is very bad.When the meal was ready, he brought it in from the outside with a very attentive attitude, and even gave me a spoon, which was half the size of a palm, but what we ate was pilaf.

I still have a deep impression of that bowl of pilaf. There was a diamond in it. Of course I ate it, but he was very nervous and wanted to pounce on me to swallow it.His intention should be to want me to eat rice and diamonds together, and then threaten me to do something.

I think this kid has no brains.

Can diamonds be eaten casually? I spat it out and threw the diamonds far away to give me a little more time to escape.By the way, have you ever thrown a diamond?Tsk.

He turned around to pick up diamonds, and I ran to the door, but the shopkeeper blocked the door like a pillar to check the situation, and the door couldn't be opened.I kicked it, and the heel of my high-heeled shoe broke. The shopkeeper was shocked, and the rest of the customers in the shop hid away.

He ran up to me, grabbed me, took the diamond, and kept repeating one word in English: reward!remuneration!

Both sides calm down.

I said: You think I'm stupid.

Then he told me: If you eat it, it is equivalent to receiving a reward, so you can't refuse.

I think this kid is really stupid.

He said that he wanted me to help him avoid his family's pursuit. His family abused him and he escaped. He picked up the diamond. If I help him, it will be mine.

I was also daring at the time, and I agreed.

......

"Can I have a cigarette?" Sophie asked.

Wu Zhen didn't like the smell of smoke, so she was immersed in the story Sophie told and shook her head.

Sophie took out a lady's cigarette, put it between her fingers and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just asking, and your opinion is actually not that important." She shrugged.

Wu Zhen said, "What happened to him after that?"

"That, I don't know. Like I said, I regret saving him, because he caused me a lot of trouble."

"go on."

Wu Zhen really wanted to know the ending of this true story, she always felt that this story sounded familiar.

Sophie said willfully, "I don't want to talk about it."

"I hate people who tell half the story, keep on talking, I'll treat you to dinner." Wu Zhen encouraged her.

"No, you are a little girl who likes to listen to stories." Sophie lightly scratched Wu Zhen's cheek with her fingers, and Wu Zhen avoided it.

The vase on Sophie's counter was blown with a single shot.There was a loud noise, followed by another shot, very close to both of them.

Wu Zhen was fearless in the face of danger, and quickly found a hidden corner to hide. Sophie was startled, and rolled down from the chair and lay on the ground.Wu Zhen hid in the corner and waved to her.Sophie crawled over to catch her breath.

Sophie's heart was beating hard: "What the hell is going on!"

Wu Zhen looked indifferent: "Maybe it's some enemy, or it's just an ordinary shooting."

Sophie: "...Chou Jia, did my Qiu Jia find this?"

Wu Zhen tied her hair with a rubber band on her wrist, and her eyes widened immediately: "Not necessarily." Maybe it's hers, whoever it is.

"Is there another exit?"

The only exit from the shop was the main door, and then the door to the inner room, which was a dead end.

Sophie shook her head, her long hair covered her face like seaweed, she reached behind her ear, but it didn't help.

Wu Zhen couldn't think of a good way for a while.

All this happened within 1 minute, the gunfire outside had stopped, the pedestrians on the street were scared away, and it was so quiet that the clock in Sophie's shop was ticking.

Then came the sound of human footsteps, creaking and creaking on the shattered pieces of the vase, and the people walking were wearing leather shoes.

Sophie stared at Wu Zhen. She wanted to go out and fight with the people outside, but her eyes were fixed and she only stared at Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen saw that person's shadow, a long black shadow cast on the wall, getting closer and closer to them.With a gun in his hand, ready to shoot at any time.

Wu Zhen knew that he was in a hurry, someone outside must have called the police, and the police were coming soon, and he needed to kill her, or Sophie, or both of them in a short time.But he wasn't sure if they had guns in their hands as well.She is unarmed.

Wu Zhen bit her lower lip tightly, very nervous and calm.

Sophie, who was standing beside her against the wall, was trembling, and took out a small gun that had been hidden for a long time from under her skirt, and squeezed the handle of the gun tightly in her hand, shaking uncontrollably.Wu Zhen stared wide-eyed, pointing at her gun, Sophie would make a mistake, and thrust the little cock to Wu Zhen like a hot potato.Wu Zhen held the small gun, for a moment he felt the joy of life, but also the confusion of dying.

Sophie is useless, so I can only put the treasure on her.

She could shoot, practiced with Sherlock's gun.Well, Mrs. Hudson also had her part in the "masterpiece" of guns on the wall, and Mrs. Hudson, who didn't know it, attributed it to Sherlock.

There is a large cosmetic mirror where they hide, which can be moved.Wu Zhen had an idea and told Sophie.

Time was running out, and Sophie had the guts to gain insight. She gritted her teeth, and rushed out at a speed of [-] meters with the makeup mirror in her arms. There were broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and she slid over uncontrollably all the way. quick.

The light reflected by the makeup mirror dazzled the killer's eyes, and he closed his eyes reflexively and fired a few shots.Immediately after Sophie rushed out, Wu Zhen came out and shot. She was not disturbed by the glare of the reflection, aimed and fired, and there were only two bullets.After Wu Zhen fired two shots, she couldn't fire again. Realizing this, she immediately dodged and hid.

After a howl, Wu Zhen and Sophie, who was hiding on the other side, looked at each other, and realized that they seemed to have been hit, so they came out cautiously.

There was a lot of blood splashed in the room, and Wu Zhen shot his jaw bone, which spread to his throat, and the carotid artery must have been injured as well.Otherwise there wouldn't be so much blood.The closer it was to the brain, the heavier the pain, and he should have temporarily lost his fighting power now.

Sophie said in admiration, "You are really accurate."

Wu Zhen didn't dare to take the credit: "I aimed at the heart." Another shot missed, and I don't know where it went.

Sophie said, "Don't say things that spoil the scenery."
