Sherlock Holmes' Neighborhood 221C

As soon as the heavy dark red curtain was opened, the lights suddenly turned on, and the characters on the stage came alive in gorgeous costumes, and narrated their thoughts to the soundtrack.

It was dark under the stage, and it seemed that the lamps and shadows of the people on the stage were shining brightly, which was wonderful.

Wu Zhen sat on the second floor, a protruding balcony-shaped cubicle.It can be called Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, South Suzaku, and North Xuanwu, but it's a pity that it was all to prevent her from escaping, otherwise Wu Zhen would think that this standard match for this battle is really domineering.

There are two palace-style seats on the small balcony, Wu Zhen is on the left and Dylan is on the right, with a small ivory coffee table in the middle.

The entire small balcony was silent in the shadows, and only the blurred silhouette of the other party could be seen in the light and shadow.

Wu Zhen only needs to stand up and take a step forward, the half-person-high balcony is not enough to stop her.Underneath is the dark head and soft seat.The small balcony is two floors lower than the ground. If you jump off, the crowd and soft seats can be cushioned.

As long as you don't injure your spine it's fine.

Wu Zhen breathed carefully, for fear that the people behind her would hear that her breathing was abnormal.It is said that a master who has been trained by the devil has extremely strong hearing, and he can judge a person's condition by listening to his breathing and heartbeat.It is hard to guarantee that there is no such person behind her, Eustace is capable of hiring such a master.

She squeezed her palms and adjusted her breathing.

The drama on the stage reaches a small climax. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, plotting in the dark night, finally kill the king.There was a small exclamation in a low voice from the audience, because the audience was too deeply involved in the play and couldn't help it.

Wu Zhen also pretended to be in the show, stood up, walked to the white plaster railing on the balcony, his palms were wet with sweat, his slender fingers tightly grasped the railing, his skin was as delicate as cream.

Everything in the movie is fake.

Why jumping from the second floor of the viewing platform and landing on both feet can still run for thousands of miles in style, and the police are chasing all the way behind but can't catch up.

It's all bullshit.

At such a high height, jumping from the standard landing position, the legs have to be recoiled for a long time.The actor can hang the extremely safe wire, and she doesn't even have a wire rope.

On both sides, there are thick ropes for pulling the curtains. The multi-strand ropes are twisted into twists, but unfortunately they are too short.

The scene where Macbeth assassinates the king is over.

She stood for too long, and it was easy to arouse suspicion.

Dylan coughed behind her.

Wu Zhen tensed up and returned to her seat. Dylan had already prepared a disinfectant wipe, and she couldn't wait to hand it to her as soon as she sat down.

Wu Zhen answered in a daze.

Dylan: "Why did you touch that railing? I don't know how many people have touched it. Bacteria, sweat stains, and saliva. I can't bear to think about it."

Wu Zhen wiped his hands with a disinfectant wipe, and turned to look at him Youyou: "I don't know how many people have sat in your seat."

As soon as these words came out, Dylan sat on pins and needles.

Wu was really upset and didn't know how to escape to minimize the damage.It was even more annoying to see his uncomfortable face.She had no choice but to comfort him: "There is a layer of clean clothes between you and the seat, so what are you afraid of?"

She bites the word "clean".

Dylan seemed to be feeling better, but Wu Zhen was not feeling better—at least she was upset with someone just now, but now she is the only one who is upset.

To be honest, she actually didn't want Dylan to feel better.

Before, he tried to use the matter of pursuing her to get close to Sherlock. Although he failed, Sherlock still used tricks to send him to the police station. This matter has always been a conflict in his heart.

People who play with emotions are more hateful than those who play with sharp knives.

Although Wu Zhen didn't intend to like him at the beginning, she still despised him physically and psychologically.

The air was stuffy, Wu Zhen loosened the collar of her white shirt, and the wide-mouthed white sleeves fluttered against her skin.She wanted to stay away from this small and narrow balcony, but she could only walk to the railing again.

Dylan didn't know why he made her angry again, and he didn't really care about it, but he was a little disgusted that she put her hand on the white plaster railing again.

Dylan stared at her hand, thinking in his heart that it had been a while since we parted.Wu Zhen didn't know how he was doing, he became even thinner, look at those hands, they were as thin as chicken feet.

Sherlock can't take care of people, she has lost weight, but she should be honored, because the person who is with her is Sherlock.

Wu Zhen is wearing a white shirt with wide sleeves and black silk suit pants today. His appearance is clean and neat, with a little bit of playfulness.When Dylan saw her outfit for the first time, he was surprised.

Now it seems that this suit is not good.She got up and went to the railing.The light was dim, and her lower body seemed to be hidden in the darkness, leaving only a beautiful upper body and head covered in light and shadow.Dylan looked a little startled, afraid that she would disappear from the bottom up.

Wu Zhen suddenly leaned forward, as if about to jump off.

Dylan shuddered, stepped forward and grabbed her back clothes and pulled them back.Wu Zhen staggered from being pulled, but did not get angry.

Dylan smiled sullenly, looking strange: "Are you looking for death? The first time you jumped down, they shot and broke your leg, and they won't treat you until Sherlock comes."

He pointed to those "bodyguards" who were like hills ready to move.

Wu Zhen lowered his head and said nothing, looking very honest.

"I don't have good eyesight, so I want to take a closer look."

Dylan pushed her violently, and Wu Zhen staggered back.Still bowing his head, with his right hand resting on his left elbow, he looked sullen and honest.

After confirming that she was honest, Dylan heaved a sigh of relief from his chest.

Eustace had ordered death, and if she escaped, she was wounded and killed.He, Dylan, had to "suffer" the same injuries, die the same way, and die in exactly the same way.

Dylan didn't want to take her out at all, it was safest to stay in the manor.It was Eustace who said again, asking her to have fun, to play to her heart's content, to play in conspicuous places, to play in any way.Whenever Sherlock comes, or Sherlock doesn't come, she won't be able to play.

Eustace's original intention was to let him take her into the water (swimming in the river) and up into the sky (turning around the high platform), which would help the satellite detector and surveillance to find Wuzhen.Dylan thought of a compromise and took her to watch a play.He had to be on the safe side, his life was tied with hers now!

And as long as there is no fault, he can meet Sherlock face to face and ask him why...

Dylan glanced at Wu Zhen with a complicated expression.

It is all because of her that Sherlock may come.

Only Wu Zhen knew how hard he was holding his arm.

She lowered her head, her heart was full of turmoil.

She always thought the person who played Macbeth was familiar. Just now on the stage, she saw that "Macbeth" with her own eyes, and she suddenly gave her a look.

At that moment when the eyes met, Wu Zhen felt a thrilling sense of joy.

Originally, there is a play on stage, and a play off stage. The way "Macbeth" looked at her instantly connected the stage and the audience together, creating chaos.

Macbeth is tall and slender, his face is painted thickly with pastels, the white foundation covers his face, and the light blurs his features.He is like Macbeth in Shakespeare's play, coming out vividly.Except for the look that clearly broke the boundary just now.

Wu Zhen thought to himself: Unless he gave me another look, it would be an illusion to be responsible for the one just now.She will not take risks.

"Macbeth" on the stage faced the audience, opened his arms, and looked at Wu Zhen again. This time, it lasted for three seconds.

Three seconds is enough.

Wu Zhenan quietly watched the whole play, and euphemistically expressed to Dylan his desire to go backstage to see the actors.

Dylan couldn't refuse Wu Zhen because of Eustace's order.

And he saw Wu Zhen's mean-spirited and mean-spirited.He dared to guarantee that if she didn't let her go this time, she would definitely sue him in front of Eustace when she went back.

Eustace was worried that he would not have fun playing.

If he sent it to the door automatically, it would be a broken head.

Dylan: "Yes, but I want to accompany you."

Wu Zhen: "Of course, why would I leave you and go alone, wouldn't that make it difficult for you." Wu Zhen patted Dylan on the shoulder in satisfaction.

"It's been a lifelong dream of mine to meet actors backstage, thank you."

Dylan frowned and pushed her hand away: "Your dream is really small."

Wu Zhen: "Dreams are not big, but in fact there are many. Dreams are born all the time."

Dylan: "What about the closest one?"

Wu Zhen smiled lightly: "Go back alive, are you small?"

Dylan: "That's really a big dream."

......

Dylan left Wu Zhen where he was, and went to the backstage to negotiate by himself.A group of men in black wearing sunglasses surrounded her, defending her impenetrably.Wu Zhen sat on the seat with a leisurely attitude.

Wu Zhen asked the gunman who had been following her, "Do you have a dream?"

The gunman didn't answer.

She asked one of the men in black again: "Do you have a dream?"

The man in black: "I dream that you don't cause trouble."

Wu Zhen smiled and said, "Oh, that is really a lofty dream."

The man in black took a step forward, but the gunman stopped him. The two looked at each other and took a step back.

Wu Zhen didn't know how they could see each other's eyes through the two sunglasses, but she was going to stop molesting them.

After finishing the negotiation, Dylan walked over with a gloomy face.

"Agreed, mainly because the leading Macbeth agreed. Don't play tricks under my nose."

Wu Zhen: "You think too much, maybe it's just that the leading actor is very enthusiastic about the fans."

The backstage looked even messier than the scattered auditorium.The actor did not avoid other people when changing clothes, and he wore a bikini backstage to change clothes and remove makeup openly, and his figure was hot.

Dylan saw a lot of blessings.

Wu Zhen gently poked him with his elbow, and said, "Thank you for feasting your eyes."

Dylan looked down at her with a complicated expression: "You have changed, you didn't talk to me like this before."

Wu Zhen: "Yeah, that was when you pretended to be a gentle brother and I tried my best to avoid you, how much of the real me could you see? I even teased Sherlock and you don't even know it."

Wu Zhen saw a man wearing Macbeth waving to them, smiling and walking straight forward, beating drums in his heart, it was the kind of small flower drum, with little red silk and satin floating on the drum, and a small wooden hammer pounding. non-stop.

Dylan was surprised: "What you..."

To him, Sherlock is a god, and his god has been molested!

Dylan stepped forward quickly, and the crowd in the backstage suddenly crowded, blocking his sight.

The person in the Macbeth costume in front of him is not Sherlock, but after putting on the costume, his figure is somewhat similar to Sherlock.I saw a silhouette from a distance, and with the lighting effect, my vision was blurred.

Wu Zhen felt that the small red silk flower drum beating in his heart changed from thud thud thump to bang bang bang. It was an old monk with missing teeth knocking on the wooden fish with a hammer, and the tones were uneven.

However, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Wu Zhen asked: "Are you going to eat pigeons?"

Ever since Hannibal dug out the "pigeon", Wu Zhen really had a month's feast of pigeons.Mrs. Sherlock Hudson will never eat pigeons again in her life.Wu Pan lived on campus during that time and was spared.

Since then.A code was agreed upon between them.

Ask: "Are you going to eat pigeons?"

Answer: "I don't intend to in this life."

It was agreed that if Sherlock found a "spy" she didn't know, this would be the secret code.

"Macbeth" smiled and shook his head: "No."

Wu Zhenqi asked, "Is there a few words missing..."

"Macbeth": "My dear lady, what do you want me to say?"

Dylan caught up with her, saw "Macbeth", and realized: "No wonder you want to see him, handsome guy. Are you worthy of Sherlock?"

Wu Zhen ignored him.

"Lestat, my name." He gracefully raised Wu Zhen's hand, and gently kissed the back of his hand. He looked at her with blue eyes, but it gave people the impression that it was as dark as the sea, and it was fascinating. .

Wu Zhen withdrew his hand: "Why did you cast that look?"

Dylan: "He, that one first, yours?"

This is a molestation incident, not the top-secret rescue that Wu Zhen thought, very disappointed, helpless, Sherlock still doesn't know where he is, maybe he is still drinking tea in 221B.

Wu Zhen glanced at him.Since this matter itself was a misunderstanding, she was not afraid that he would misunderstand him further.

Lestat said, "With all due respect, you look delicious."

tasty?

Hannibal also said that she looks, well, delicious.It was later revealed that Hannibal was an ogre.

This sentence can only make her feel a little horrified.And feel, at the mercy of others.

This feeling is very bad.Even the handsome man in front of him kissed the back of his hand so elegantly and intoxicated, but it couldn't offset the wonderful feeling that he was a piece of meat on the chopping board.

Wu Zhen: "Who the hell are you?"

Lestat took Wu Zhen's hand, with one arm behind his back, which was the etiquette of a gentleman in the Middle Ages.It is very ancient and outdated to do this set of etiquette now.The strange thing is that he took off the gorgeous coat of the costume, and only wore a white open-chested jacket. After removing the makeup, he revealed his true colors, which did not look abrupt, but instead had a deadly temptation like the night.

He took Wu Zhen's hand and came to the window. Outside the window was the harbor, the bright lights reflected in pairs, and the thick night was broken up by the multicolored lights that stretched vertically into the sky.

"Do you believe that there are vampires in the world?"

......

Wu Zhen: "If you are a vampire, then I am a witch."

Dylan chuckled.

Lestat tilted his head and said to Dylan, "I don't think vampires are a legend."

Dylan's eyes widened, suspicious.How did he know what was on his mind.

Wu Zhen: "I'm leaving."

"Stay for a while longer." Lestat grabbed Wu Zhen's wrist, led her around, and gently placed his index finger on her lips: "Don't blink."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Wu Zhen and quickly threw his head out of the window.Dylan cursed secretly, and summoned his men to arrest him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhen fell to the ground.After a burst of dizziness, she stood firmly on the ground, and Lestat had already let go of her.Bending down and laughing at the side, he sat down with a big rock in his hand, in a perfect state.

"Did you see his expression just now! Hahahaha!"

After Wu Zhen panicked, she calmed down, not allowing her to disbelieve what she saw.

"Are you really a vampire?"

Lestat touched his fangs with his fingers, his blue eyes glowed in the dark, and said, "I never denied it."

"So, you brought me here to suck blood."

"You're so lucky, I'm already full."

Wu Zhen pursed her lips with a complicated expression.

She didn't think that he kidnapped her so that someone could watch the stars and the moon together in the middle of the night, appreciate poems and recite songs.

Wu Zhen: "Where is this place?"

Lestat shrugged indifferently, and spread his hands: "I don't know, but I'm sure it will take some time for them to find you."

"Thank goodness." Wu Zhen clasped her hands together and bowed. She believed that her attitude was casual but her heart was pious.

After worshiping, she immediately wanted to leave.Concerned about Lestat, she faced him and walked backwards to the exit.

"See you another day."

Lestat made a stop gesture, his blue eyes gleamed with a dark glimmer, and Wu Zhen found that he couldn't move his feet.Was it deterred, or...

"I can give you a chance, a chance to bring you back to life..."

Wu Zhen's throat was a little stuck: "Why me?"

Lestat took a long-term view, was in a trance, and returned to reality in an instant.The vampire's past is dark, and he doesn't like to dwell on it, except for the amusing ones.

"You are very much like a little girl I once raised, a doll, very cute, as long as you don't offend her, she is very docile - crazy is really crazy."

"Then she is now."

"I hope she's dead, of course she's really dead, and was destroyed later. If she's alive, will she be like you when she grows up?"

"will not."

Lestat: "You're so annoying, at least she's still cheating on me."

Lestat snapped his fingers, and Wu Zhen realized that he could move and crossed his arms.

This ability is really terrifying.

He said: "Let's go, I will come to you again, as long as you figure it out."

Wu Zhen didn't stop, and ran very fast - she wanted to find a way to escape smoothly before Dylan found her.

Lestat's figure gradually disappeared in the shadows of the trees.

"Well, well, my dear Louis, I miss you."

......

Wu Zhen thought she could at least run a distance, but it turned out that she was too naive.

Eustace's influence in Denmark is almost comparable to Sherlock's intelligence network in London.

Wu Zhen only ran three streets before he was caught.

A large group of men in black appeared at the intersection of the street, blocking the way, and pedestrians could not avoid it. Wu Zhen was successfully captured.Please get in a car.There was Dylan in the car, and the shooter.

Wu Zhen said to the gunman, "What important person are you? Eustace's confidant?"

Dylan: "I'm also wondering, he has never shown that he reuses you, but every time it comes to a critical moment, you are there, and countless of his subordinates died, but you are still alive."

Gunman under siege: "...An opinion?"

Wu Zhen: "Amazing."

Dylan: "That's incredible."

Wu Zhen: "He actually spoke."

Dylan: "It's amazing, I haven't even heard him speak."

Wu Zhen: "After all, you are a sniper, so you must keep calm at all times."

Dylan: "Yo Yo Yo Yo..."

The gunman's most advantageous weapon is not the mouth, but the gun. When he raised the gun, the world in the car was quiet.Wuzhen Dylan turned their heads to look out of the car window.

......

In the manor, as night fell, the huge dining room was brightly lit. In front of the long dining table, Hadley sat at the side table closest to the top, playing with his fingers and bowing his head without speaking.Luo Di stood behind her faithfully.

The whole restaurant was silent.

There were three sets of cutlery on the long dining table, one in the upper seat—Eustace, one in front of Hadley, and one opposite her—for Wuzhen.

Eustace went to the garden, and was really angry that Wu Zhen hadn't come yet.

He seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who asked Dylan to take Wu Zhen to the theater.

Hadley boarded the plane and left long before Wu Zhen, and she was taken to slip around a corner under Eustace's order before being released back.

This was a blow to Hadley.

She was rejected by her father.

Although this "father" is the adoptive parents who adopted her, there is no difference in essence from the adoptive parents who took care of her in the UK.

Wu Zhen got out of the car and stepped into the carved iron gate of the manor, and was told by the waiters that Hadri had been waiting for her for a long time for dinner.

Immediately quickened his pace and rushed back.

Hadley is still waiting for her to eat in the manor. Her existence shows that the current situation is not too bad. She is waiting for her to eat. What is more hopeful than this?

As soon as they entered the dining table, there were only three sets of cutlery on the huge dining table, and Eustace had already sat at the head. Seeing her coming, Hadley looked up and then lowered his head.Children who think they have done something wrong are not qualified to speak up, nor are they qualified to raise their heads to eat.

Wu Zhen took his seat.He didn't look at Luo Di behind Hadley, and Luo Di also pretended not to know her.

He didn't know why Wu Zhen appeared here, but since she didn't want the people here to find out that they knew each other, then it's better to follow her wishes.

Wu Zhen noticed that Hadri was not active.Concerned: "Hadley, are you okay?"

Hadley twitched his little nose, feeling a layer of grievance.

She is a fragile child who does not deserve to be treated like this.

Wu Zhen said, "Hadri, raise your head."

Eustace gracefully put his index finger on his lips to stop Wu Zhen: "Shhhhhhhh."

"You're disturbing her, she likes to be quiet."

When Wu Zhen opened his mouth, Eustace said, "Shut up."

Wu Zhen was so angry that he sneered and could hardly speak.

Eustace said, "Sit down and eat quietly. Hadley is waiting for you hungry. Tell me, Hadley, are you hungry?"

Hadley nodded slightly.

"Then let's not let this sister disturb our meal, shall we?"

Hadley lowered his head, did not speak, and nodded silently.

Wu Zhen got up to leave, she could no longer bear this scene.Eustace winked, but Dylan couldn't keep up.

Eustace said, "Look at how weak she is, how she doesn't care about you, and how easy she is to give you up."

Hadley whispered, "No, she didn't, she wouldn't."

......

Wu Zhen was walking fast in front, Dylan grabbed her arm and dragged her back.

"open."

Wu Zhen looked cold and hard.

Dylan had to let go. "Don't do this, you can't protect yourself."

Wu Zhen continued to move forward.

Dylan followed behind: "Why do you care so much about Hadley, have the same experience?"

Wu Zhen didn't look back and said directly: "My family is happy and my family is happy."

"Then why are you?"

"Because I feel bad, you know. I don't want to give her up, Hadley is a good kid, she has a kind heart, she's just being manipulated by that devil-like Eustace. And there's nothing I can do to save her. She should have a A good childhood should not be forced to be an autistic child!"

After Wu Zhen said such a long series of words, he paused, and cruelly continued to force himself to walk forward.

In her consciousness, Hadley has been squatting silently in the corner, a white ball.Very kind, but also very lonely.She doesn't want to give up on her, it feels like giving up another self.

Dylan didn't catch up, he wanted her to be quiet, but he was afraid that she would break into something she shouldn't go, so he had to follow up again.

......

Since Lestrade's phone call, Wuzhen has evaporated from England.Lestrade recently took on a case involving the death of a taxi driver who often ran to and from the airport. His taxi was salvaged from the bottom of the river, and the autopsy results showed that he had died before drowning.

This is a bizarre case.

Lestrade wanted to ask Sherlock for help, just thinking about it.He knew Sherlock was busy right now.Because Wu Zhen is missing, he investigates, but Mycroft stops him.

......

"My dear brother, as a qualified brother, I have always supported your career very much. Although it is like a child's play, it will help your dark self-confidence a little. But this time, I think I have to stop you."
