Aerys reluctantly sat on the chair, looking palely at the sea of ​​flames displayed on the street monitor.

The police and firefighters are trying to get close to the fire, but the entire floor of the single-family building is in an extremely raging fire. The black smoke is choking the firefighters rescued by helicopter, and the tongue of flames is eagerly licking the tall building. The embarrassing height made it beyond the reach of fire trucks.

Why is it her?This sentence asked herself repeatedly in her heart, and the answers to some questions clearly appeared in her mind under such circumstances.This made Aerys' face paler and more trance-like, as if he could fall down at any moment.

She should have remembered earlier, it would be good for everyone.

After Otto said that sentence, he didn't speak again. No matter how they stimulated, threatened or persuaded him, it had no effect on him.

He was taken into a temporary supervision room. Although the possibility of him escaping in this case is very small, the special police will still patrol with guns 24 hours a day.When he was taken away, he had been greedily enjoying the despair of the girl on the chair with a kind of eyes, such strong feelings seemed to pull her into the abyss with him.

At four o'clock in the evening, the dilapidated wooden house that was found was detonated even though it was empty, and the office building that was far away from it was detonated at the same time.The decaying building was engulfed by the fire, together with many equipment, it was quickly reduced to ashes.

The lingering flames that spread to that building finally stopped under Aerys' endless expectation.

It's just that the news that came later made her fall into a dead silence.

"I'm sorry, Miss Noel." The sheriff wrapped a blanket around Iris. The girl's state is really very wrong now, but there are some things he must explain clearly. "Ms. Merry Johnson was confirmed dead at [-]:[-] this evening. My condolences."

how can that be possible?Iris listened in a daze, she thought, how could something happen to Merry before she could tell Merry the good news?

About her memory, every bit, every drop, she remembered.

Yes, what happened to Merry?

Aerys raised her head mechanically, and her throat, which hadn't taken in any water since she got the news, became extremely hoarse, which moved everyone who heard her voice.

"Can I see Mr. Brown?"

After getting his hesitant refusal reply, to the surprise of the sheriff, Aerys did not continue to insist on the request, which made the sheriff heave a sigh of relief. While wiping his sweat, he thought, today’s sudden disaster really There are too many, here, he can't let Iris and Otto have another accident.

It's just that he couldn't see a conviction in Aerys' eyes.

"Sherlock..."

Faced with such a scene, John sat on his chair, unable to think. How could he never imagine that his landlady passed away like this. He thought of Iris, how sad she must be?Not good at expressing with words, she shows her kindness by trying to be as friendly as possible.Especially when John realized that she pinned her feelings for her mother on Meri, he couldn't help but wonder about the girl's past.

None of this matters now.

He was about to say something to Sherlock, when he saw a rare trace of hesitation on the detective's face.

Then he looked at John and dialed a number on his cell phone.

---------------------------------

There are no other decorations on the white walls except for the two simple wall lamps at the head of the bed. The lampshade is black, and the white light bulb wrapped under it is extremely conspicuous.

The wooden floor with a thick layer of ceresine wax is so shiny that no hair can be found with the naked eye.Cotton slippers are neatly stacked on the head of the bed, and the small size makes the rigid style a bit cute.

The clean white sheets and quilt covers are as standard as a hotel. After a long while, the small bag bulging on the bed moved slowly, and the little girl in a white dress opened her sleepy eyes.

Skillfully turning on and controlling the heating outside the door, and tugging on the slippers playfully, she went straight to the refrigerator, which was taller than her head.

Reluctantly moving a small stool to forcefully open the door of the refrigerator, enduring the cold air that made her want to roll back to bed, she took out the only carton of fresh milk left inside.

Jane scratched her head, the nanny forgot to replenish her refrigerator with bread after cleaning.

Maybe the date of the milk is not fresh, the girl stared into the toilet exhausted with blue eyes.

Fighting hard against the abdominal pain, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

"Jane? Are you up yet?" Jane couldn't hear her current temper from the woman's voice.The girl hurriedly took care of her messy hair in the toilet, pulling her messy black hair without crying.After leaving a lot of traces of violent combing on the sink, she finally tidied herself up and shyly opened the door of the toilet.

"Mom... Well, I'm getting up." The girl's expectant eyes gradually narrowed under the woman's calm face. She looked at her mother who hadn't taken off her uniform, and could only answer cautiously.

"Don't forget to make an appointment with the doctor today." Even if it was the words of reproach, the girl couldn't feel the woman's tone, she hurried back to the room and picked out a few clothes from the simple closet to change.

Jane felt that her mother's attitude was getting more and more strange.

After completing several basic physical examinations, the woman bought her an ice cream and told her not to run around, and walked into the doctor's consulting room.She sat obediently outside the door, but her thoughts were not so well-behaved, she had already flown to nowhere.

The woman in the consulting room changed her tense expression.

"Why did I give birth to such a daughter," she blurted out without thinking about anything, as if letting go of the burden in her heart, "a freak?"

"With all due respect, your daughter is actually quite cute..." The doctor, who seemed very gentle, pushed his black-rimmed glasses, and he listened carefully to the lady's words, "Oh, if you can, I've studied psychology, maybe I can help you, ma'am?"

"Cute? Yes, it's too cute." When she heard this comment, she seemed to have talked about the most incredible part, her expression turned towards pain, "Have you ever seen someone who has never cried except for crying at birth?" A child? How old is she? Can she manage her life in order?"

"I admit that we neglected her at the beginning, and the breakup of my relationship with Jane's father left me with no energy to take care of her." She finally had a moment of guilt flashing across her face when she said this, "But what she showed afterwards Everything is...unbearable."

"She can get the water glass on the coffee table in the living room directly in the room?" She said cautiously, "Mutant? Or what kind of mutant? Forget it, I can't tell, but how could it be her, my child, a monster?" fetal?"

Jane complained in her heart that the speed of the two was really slow, isn't it just a medical examination?

There are many secrets in her heart, one of which is that as she grows older, some opinions that she doesn't quite understand always appear in her mind. For example, this time, she sneered at this thing that teases children.There are several projects like this over and over every year, but during this time she can see her mother, which still makes the girl very happy.

After eating an ice cream, she tilted her head and thought about it. In fact, besides chocolate, she also likes strawberries.

Of course, a small dessert with pink jam appeared in her hand immediately.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Brown." The woman's mood improved a lot after she came out, Jane outside the door thought so.If this is the case, then it is not impossible to do this physical examination several times.

She wiped the jam from the corner of her mouth and licked off the remaining sweetness on her fingers with a smile.

The waiting time passed quickly, and Jane watched the woman leave, closing the door and running down the stairs in one go.The sound of the safety catch was very clear, and she locked the house behind her back.The high-end apartment building is already considered a very high-end neighborhood in Brooklyn, and the security measures are in place. There is no need for her to do this.

The girl glanced at the clock, and with a wave of her finger, the lock mechanism was opened by her familiarly.

As promised, Aunt Merry will teach her a new knot today.

Humming a little tune, the girl closed the doorknob with her hand and pushed it lightly.

——————————————————————————————————

It's a quiet night.

Residents of these neighborhoods breathed a sigh of relief when the heart-wrenching arsonist was finally caught. For them, it meant that they could finally get a good night's sleep.

Most of the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department also got a rest time, only a few lights were still on, watching every movement in the dark night.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was embarrassing, and the few people ate their last meal before parting in the restaurant outside without saying a word.Sherlock and Watson were about to leave here and return to England early tomorrow morning, so after returning to the hotel after eating, they returned to their rooms early.

The rest is difficult.For example, Iris didn't know what to do with the current situation, or when she actually lived here for several weeks without any identification.

She will go to the police station to close the case tomorrow, but she is not thinking about it now.

"Well, I knew you would come, Jane."

The special police outside the monitoring room were dedicated to their duties, but they were not disturbed at all.The figure of the girl appeared in the narrow room with only one bed.Through the light outside the small window, Otto saw Iris, whose face was exactly the same as her mother's, holding a long and narrow knife in her hand with a blank expression.

"Are you going to kill me to avenge your aunt?" He couldn't help grinning, "But the fact that you killed her can never be erased, I made these plans only after seeing you .”

"Why did you run out of the sanitarium in such a bad manner, Jane?"

"Stop!" When the door lock was blocked by the girl, several people outside the door decisively chose to break in.

Aerys heard the source of the sound, and John was standing in front of everyone, holding the completely damaged handle, looking at the girl out of breath, obviously exerting a lot of force in breaking the door.

"We know how much you hate him, Aerys," John tried to persuade the girl, trying to keep a safe distance, "but killing won't solve everything, it'll just get blood on your hands, Merry won't Would love to see that happen."

"He will be punished by the law," Sherlock also didn't want the girl to follow the arsonist's wishes. "Trust me, Aerys."

Aerys felt a little annoyed.

"John, why are you standing there? Why don't you avenge Aunt Meili?" She asked doubtfully, "If he is tried, will the court give him the death penalty?"

"Obviously not, his brain is sick."

"Hey, he might get away with a mentally ill crime, so I can't let him go."

"He will spend the rest of his life in prison, Iris!" John said anxiously, the girl's knife had already touched Brown's neck, and he was afraid that the girl who was also mentally abnormal would be too lazy to talk directly Let's do it.

"Spend your life in prison?" Aerys' expression seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, "but it's not fair."

"One life for one life, more..." Simple things.

The transparent liquid in the syringe was immediately pumped into the blood vessels under inertia, and her hands went limp for a while, and Iris fell to the ground unsupported. Through the fence, she saw the familiar uniform slowly walking in the dark.

"Mutants... When did you know about it, Sherlock?" Gradually deprived of control over her body, she couldn't help but look at the detective, "Should it be the explanation for me escaping from Brown? I know there are some bugs there."

Sherlock shook his head when the girl called his name for the first time.I don't know if I'm not used to it, or I'm shaking my head.

"The afternoon before yesterday." Even Watson was slightly shocked when he heard the word mutant, but Sherlock explained to her invariably, "Judging from the temperature that day and your speed on the road, you appeared at The breathing rate in the coffee shop and the temperature of the skin surface are not right."

"Just like that?" She heard the heavy breathing and exclamation of the people in the police station.

"Okay, and your past information, Iris." He turned sideways to let the security guards of the Manhattan Sanatorium in New York enter.The men in uniform uniforms moved her gently but with unquestionable strength, and brought her into the car.

"You have a seizure, Jane."

The man in the suit came slowly. He looked at the girl who was powerlessly asleep, with a stern face, and only moved the corners of his eyes slightly. His serious and cautious style made him directly explain the ins and outs of the matter.

John looked at the man who claimed to be Iris' father inexplicably, well, it wasn't Iris but Jane.He glanced at Sherlock from the corner of his eye, but as always, Sherlock maintained his inherent indifference towards people, which made him unable to see any clues.

Meili's hotel was not taken care of, and the police finally contacted her brother who had moved out of the United States for five years and now lives in Canada, and dealt with the relatively prosperous small shop in this area.

So when Steve came here with a phone that couldn't be reached anyway, the store had already changed.Dusty fences and rusty scaffolding enclose the exterior walls, and two or three workers are repainting and furnishing it.

He hesitated and detoured to the original backyard of the hotel. Sure enough, he looked at the disorderly stacked timbers in a complicated way. These abrupt things made the yard messy. If Aerys saw it, she would definitely be furious.

Too bad he hasn't been able to get Iris' cell phone number yet.

Red, white and blue canes and dreamcatchers made of delicate feathers hang from the eaves.

A few tenacious flowers were growing in this environment, and they were lucky enough to escape being strangled by these things, but the flowering period was about to pass, and the temperature was gradually rising, and they also knew that they would not live long.

Steve didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he went back, and the memories related to the girl were exactly in his mind.Although he was familiar with SHIELD's routines and knew that Aerys' files must have been backed up, he still couldn't speak after thinking about it, and he didn't have any position to ask SHIELD for her information.

The blue petals are struggling to grow towards the sky.

But they are just irises.
