[Comprehensive British and American] No.1 grid

Old-style wooden attics and independent wooden houses stand alone in this abandoned area.

Dust randomly stained the hem of her clothes, and the body lying powerlessly on the wall trembled slightly, making a dull collision sound, and the peeling wallpaper couldn't fall off, and Iris woke up in this environment.The dim light, the abandoned room, and the humming sound surrounding the apparently empty place, she managed to open her eyes with a splitting headache.

She couldn't even move her fingers with the spare strength, and she rolled her eyes stiffly, unable to hide her fear of the unknown.Iris vaguely had a rough guess in her heart, but the more complex the brain activity was, the more cold numbness and fear she felt.

A device for mutants.

The black box was neatly placed under her waist, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She tried hard to think about when she exposed her ability... Blinking, only that one person should know her situation.She still has the time to laugh at herself while having a hard time. This can't be done by S.H.I.E.L.D. If they were, they wouldn't be such a dirty but simple cell.

She couldn't help but judge everyone with suspicion.

The creaking sound of the wooden stairs was very obvious, and every step of the heavy footsteps seemed to hit her heart. She opened her mouth almost unable to bear the pressure, but she couldn't even utter a simple syllable.Suddenly the cold feeling on the skin was magnified, Iris bit her lip in surprise, her body couldn't help trembling.

Deliberately to increase the pressure on the girl, the man didn't come in immediately after the footsteps stopped, and the sound of leather shoes rolling on the decaying floor was extremely clear.

Even so, Aerys' eyes widened, and after seeing the identity of the person who pushed the door in, he finally cried out in disbelief.

"...how...possible, how could it be you?"

Relevant and irrelevant, useful and useless, are connected in series under certain thinking.

The cells of the body were fully mobilized, not only because of the excitement of meeting the opponent, but also because of the inexplicable emotions hovering in his heart.After calling the hotel a few times but being unable to get through, this emotion flickered more and more inexplicably in his brain.

For a better interpretation, Sherlock can only choose to suppress all these inappropriate things.

"The Killer's Choice of Target Connection."

"District Spanning."

"Coincidental timing."

"And, fictitious identity."

Talking to himself, when he said the last sentence, his forward steps suddenly stopped.

"Why can't any DNA be collected from the first crime scene?"

"Cleanliness? Obsessive-compulsive disorder!" Sherlock grabbed his hair, shook his body a few times in an exaggerated way, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, "Why didn't I expect that, ha, the unknown virus is actually sleepy How long have I been? In the first explosion, except for the poor little animals who didn’t know if it was a cat or a dog, there were no victims!”

"Sheriff, give me the correspondence and home address of Mr. Brown's parents, as soon as possible."

The smile on the big detective's face seemed to be sure of victory.

"Cough, why is it you?" Aerys fixed his eyes on the man who put his hood down needlessly, "Mr. Otto Brown?"

When Mr. Brown heard this, he tilted his head and thought for a while, and then sat down cross-legged on the dusty ground without disdain.His state of mind made Aerys feel a little familiar for a moment, but what he said next made her stop thinking.

"Huh? Is that what you call it?" He closed the smile on his face in dissatisfaction, and his expressionless look was terrible in this situation, "Jane, well, you don't remember me, but I never forget you .”

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about." Aerys squeezed out a few words with difficulty, "I don't know you, Mr. Arsonist."

"Ah, it's true that I forgot about it, Jane...Iris." The secretive smile on Otto's face made her vigilant. "This is a good way to escape."

Seeing him go around in circles with a few words, bringing the topic to a more complicated and weird direction, Iris wanted to say something to change this passive situation, but was quickly seen through by the man in front of him.

Otto took out another box as if by magic, and the ominous premonition came true. With the cooperation of the two devices, she even felt that she couldn't breathe, like a fish left in the shoal, out of sight for her. The indispensable source of water will die in the next second.

Ha, are the criminals nowadays so powerful? They can get such a device that even she has only seen in movies.As soon as the idea came out, Iris felt a little strange. With Brown alone, he was able to plan such a difficult case for Sherlock?Even if the Doctor has some darker secrets, that doesn't include the hacking ability to crack the Metropolitan Police Department's systems and the use of sonar developed for mutants.

What's more, he can still get a test kit carrying the Extremis virus?

"Cough...huh, ha..." After watching enough of the girl's struggling performance, he closed the box with little interest, and casually threw it into the dust. "Now? Want to confess, girl?"

"You do have an ally who will never leave you." Aerys suppressed an uncontrollable moan, gritted her teeth, and before the man was about to get upset again, she hurriedly speeded up her speech, "I miss him I must be more interested in Mr. Holmes, at least than you."

Who would have so much energy to mobilize such a huge project, help plan criminal methods, erase criminal traces, and even get a sharp weapon against mutants in order to trap her who was not in the plan?

All the coincidences can no longer be called coincidences after being gathered together, and after eliminating all the impossibilities, the conclusion left is that Aerys already has a result in his heart.

"What are you talking about?" The magnified ferocious face made her realize the distance between the man and her, and Kankan moved her body with a small force, "How did you know about him?!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Brown." In the next second, only the girl's voice remained in the entire space. Otto stared blankly at the empty ground, and he was a little puzzled.

"See you at the police station."

"We've got to move faster, John."

"Phew, you don't need to remind me, Sherlock."

The figures of the two shuttled through the streets and alleys, and their hearts beat faster at such a close distance.

"Go and see first, I too..." The voice disappeared around the corner of the street, and Watson could only speed up to keep up.

Iris lay paralyzed on the sofa in a classic Geyou, exhausted, she didn't want to move at all.

It must be a lie to say that she is not nervous or afraid. She wiped her face with a wet towel, and the faint smell of alcohol successfully soothed her emotions.

Fortunately, Brown believed in the device Moriarty gave him, and had no other security measures, which gave Aerys a chance to escape.

Who told her to be blessed by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube? Ordinary sonar aimed at mutants couldn't interfere with her perception of space. Once she delays the time and gets enough information, Iris can get out immediately.

Just as she was about to call Sherlock's cell phone to deliver important news to him, the entrance door was slammed open.

Aerys sat up slowly and looked at the two gentlemen rushing in.

It seems that Sherlock also came to some conclusions, didn't he?

"Thank goodness, Iris." It was John who spoke first, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when his nervous eyes saw the girl, "Sherlock said something might happen to you, and the hotel phone can't get through, so we will Be right back."

"I... how should I say it's okay now, thank you for your concern, John." Aerys can't handle this kind of pure kindness, but she enjoys the process of flirting with Sherlock even more. "Mr. Holmes, I have important news for you."

"Huh?" Sherlock was also relieved to see that Aerys was fine, and he motioned to the girl calmly, "Say."

"Otto Brown." Iris also found it unbelievable to say this name, but the experience of being kidnapped and attempted to tear up her ticket told her that this was the truth, "He is the 'arsonist'."

Looking at Sherlock's clear eyes, Iris knew that the detective had already deduced this result. She told the two of her kidnapping process from beginning to end, and Sherlock immediately locked the scope.Sure enough, just a few hours later, the police's ever-shrinking encirclement finally got Otto arrested.

Iris, as a guilty witness, followed John to identify the criminal.

The worst outcome would be to contact Professor X and apply for asylum.

Otto, who was arrested, looked calm, and only showed a subtle expression when he saw Iris.

"did not expect......"

"That's right, it's him." In order to prevent Otto from saying something that shouldn't be said, Aerys hurriedly snatched it up, his face revealing an abnormal flush.

Under everyone's unexpected circumstances, Otto Brown admitted the crime very readily, and did not say anything about her being a mutant when Iris was guilty of not speaking the whole time.

This reassured the girl waiting aside, but there was indescribable confusion deep in her heart.

"Mr. Brown, why did you kill your [social identity], and kill Miss Taylor and Mr. Eddings?"

"You have a lot of questions." Otto's expression was completely different from his before, which surprised everyone who knew him. "What reason do you need to kill them? They deserve to die."

"Since you admitted the crime, why didn't you admit your motive for committing the crime?"

"Ha, Taylor is a whore, Eddins?" He curled his lips in disdain, "False, he obviously doesn't have a diploma, but he wants to pretend to be a doctor?"

"Well, it was my own death, which I did not expect," said Otto darkly. "See how well you found the same reason, didn't you?"

The police officer who was writing the police record couldn't help but look up at him, that crazy look made everyone present curse secretly.

"What about Iris?" Sherlock suddenly said, "What about Miss Iris Noel makes you dissatisfied?"

He accented a few words, causing Otto to turn his head to look at him.

"Oh, this is Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I've known him for a long time." He said casually, and his calm tone made Aerys feel very strange.

"Why target this young lady?" Otto grinned suddenly, "She is my first choice."

What's the meaning?

"You can escape my judgment, ha, but the devil's patron?"

His words connected many things together.Sherlock's pupils shrank, and he finally realized where the incongruity was.He quickly found a thumbnail map of the three blocks. After marking all the crime locations and the address of the kerosene courier, the vacant area was extremely conspicuous.

Aerys had a blank expression.

That's where Merry told her to pick up the goods.
