"It's there," Circe said affirmatively, and she closed her eyes again to feel it. "The person who used the Avada Kedavra spell disappeared right there."

"Disappear!" Sherlock felt that Circe's words were a bit strange, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the traces of using the spell cannot be interrupted, it may become imperceptible due to distance or time, but that's just not easy. Now, it has completely disappeared, as if it disappeared out of thin air." Circe said to this kind of The situation is also a bit strange. Speaking of it, although this kind of situation is rare, it is not uncommon. For example,

"Underground!" Circe and Sherlock looked at each other and said at the same time.

By the way, for example, when she was kidnapped by that "Leviathan" last time, she was not discovered in time because she was underground.Now, Sherlock and Circe were obviously not in the range of ordinary people, so they soon thought that the person who killed old Hassan might have entered the underground through something like a secret passage.

And in this secret passage, Circe looked back at the old Hassan's body. He didn't have a soul. After suffering the pain of Avada Kedavra, it is difficult for ordinary people to have a soul left.But Circe knew that the secret passage was definitely related to Old Hassan. It was strange that he went back and forth. After all, he was the one who guarded the Harappa witches, so there must be something that he didn't tell them.

"Cersey, come here!" Sherlock called her suddenly, and Cersey realized that she didn't know when Sherlock had gone to the place between the two stone statues to study it. Now calling her, it is obvious that something has been discovered .

"Look at this!" Sherlock pointed to her excitedly,

Circe leaned forward and found that it was a leaf, which was everywhere in this ruined temple, but this leaf was a little different, half of it was caught in the stone slab.

Sherlock pushed aside the surrounding leaves, and found that there were bloodstains distributed in the shape of roads on the stone floor, which made people think of how old Hassan struggled and suffered so much that he used his fingers to draw the road of enlightenment on the ground before he died. blot.

In comparison, the murderer is extremely cruel, because he (she) is not only the culprit of old Hassan's pain, but also casts healing spells on old Hassan's wounds over and over again to cover up his pain. cause of death.

This is also the reason why Sherlock didn't see the wound at all when he saw the old Hassan's body and didn't know how to judge it. If Circe hadn't come here by accident, it is very likely that Old Hassan was sentenced to have a heart attack. hair and died.

Circe inexplicably felt a little heavy. She was indeed used to seeing death, and had killed many people with her own hands.But maybe it's because this era is too comfortable, maybe it's because there are people she cares about here, since she became Circe Holmes, she hasn't killed a single person.

"Circe?" Sherlock patted her. "What's the matter?"

Circe froze for a moment, feeling that she was a little strange recently, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing!"

Sherlock looked at her a little worried, but now is not a good time to talk, and he turned his attention back to studying the stone statues. He always felt that these two stone statues were a bit strange, but he didn't know exactly where they were strange.

"Huh?" Circe looked up in confusion, "Why do I feel like there's something missing there?"

"Where? Where?" Sherlock was still studying the flower basket in the hands of the stone statue, but at this moment he also came over.

"Look," Circe pointed up, "what does this light look like from here?"

Indeed, when Sherlock looked up, he found that the sunlight passed through the place where the woman's stone statue passed her hands, as Circe said, it did not directly shine down, but refracted inward at an incredible angle , The refracted light did not know what it encountered and reflected back through the ring formed by the hands of another stone statue of a woman.

Sherlock walked in. The dilapidated building looked crumbling. I don't know what Sherlock was groping inside. After a while, he came out with cobwebs all over his clothes, but Sherlock looked at Serge with a smile on his face. Xi, "Do you want to know what is underground?"

"Do you know how it got down?"

"Of course!" Sherlock said, raised the key in his hand, and shook it triumphantly at Circe, and then he leaned behind the stone statue and didn't know what he did. Soon, an entrance was split between the two stone statues , revealing the wooden steps, covered with thick dust, and the footprints of more than one person.

"Come down quickly," Sherlock beckoned to Circe in a low voice. There were still a few policemen staying there.Before they noticed her, Circe followed Sherlock down the stairs.And the cracked slate on the head was also put back together again.

After the entrance was closed, the underground was very dark. Circe silently said "Flashing Fluorescent", and soon, the two of them continued to walk down while taking advantage of the faint light.After walking for about 10 minutes, they heard someone talking.

"Say, what is your relationship with the old man above?" The man's voice was very calm, and he spoke English, even with a bit of aristocratic accent,

Sherlock and Circe looked at each other, slowed down at the same time, then pricked up their ears and continued to listen.

"As I said, I don't know anything, I don't know any 'Harapa' witches, I don't know any 'Parvati', I'm just lost, I've been stuck here for five days, I don't even know how to get out." It was a young man's voice, sounding very tired and scared.

"Hmph!" The other person obviously didn't believe what he said, "I've searched all over the place and couldn't find 'Halapa'. Tell me, where did you put Harappa's coffin?"

Sherlock took two steps forward, stepped on something, and the man who was asking the young man suddenly shouted, "Where is who?"

Sherlock blinked at Circe, and then turned in as if nothing had happened. This is the end of the passage, much wider than the narrow passage just now, like an empty room, with a huge night pearl inlaid on the top , so the room is very bright.Now, at the far end of the room, a young man with brown hair was hung on the wall, and in front of him, a man in black wizard robes held a wand.At this moment, both of them looked at Sherlock who suddenly appeared here.

"Who are you?" The wizard was obviously very surprised. He just yelled out of vigilance. In fact, his heart tended to be a mouse or cockroach. He didn't expect that it was really a person. At this moment, Sherlock walked away. When they reached the light, the wizard opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "Sherlock Holmes!"

In the next second, he was frozen in place, and Circe's binding spell was not bad.

"Simon Sutton, it's you!" Circe was really surprised this time. Shouldn't this person stay in a special cell made by MI6?

Hearing what Circe said, Sherlock also remembered that this person had kidnapped their mother Alina.

But what happened to all this?Why is Simon Sutton here?
