[Comprehensive Sword Three] Who dares to hit my son

So after Sherlock and Watson went through the case of Van Kong and Lukes, they split up and deliberated on various clues. Watson also went to the detention center for a tour, and posted it on Tuesday and had to go to the Magistrate's Court to explain it. After paying a heavy price for violating social order, they finally got together in Chinatown and set their sights on the Lucky Cat shop.

The storefront of the Lucky Cat store is no different from all the stores on this street. It is squeezed in between two equally ordinary storefronts. The transparent glass is stained with a little fog, making it difficult to see the situation inside.

Sherlock was the first to push open the store door, took a few steps in, and stopped suddenly.Watson followed behind, looking left and right, one of them didn't pay attention, and bumped into Sherlock's back.

"Sherlock, why did you stop suddenly..." Watson stroked his arm and complained. When his eyes touched the oriental woman not far in front of Sherlock, his voice stopped abruptly.

The woman standing in front of all kinds of fans has a very charming face.She was wearing a silky lake-green cheongsam, and she was having fun admiring and playing with the round fan with pictures of ladies painted on it.The cheongsam is embroidered with a few clusters of light yellow flowers, which are as realistic as if they are blooming on the top, and the lower part is slit all the way to the thighs. With subtle movements, people can vaguely see the slender and fair skin against the emerald green of the cheongsam beautiful legs.

It seems that she heard the sound, and the woman turned her head. Against the background of the paper lanterns hanging on the ceiling of the Lucky Cat shop, there is a little more tranquility in the past, as if it came out of the Republic of China.

"Good afternoon, Sherlock, Mr. Watson." The woman smiled at them.

"Miss Anna, why are you here?" Watson asked in surprise.

Anna shook the round fan in her hand a few times: "I said, we will meet somewhere, won't we?"

"But how did you find this place?" Watson was puzzled. He didn't care when Anna said this to him. After all, as far as the situation is concerned, the only clues Anna knew were what she saw at the bank at that time. symbol, but this information is too little, how could it be possible to find this place.

"You have to know, Mr. Watson." Anna put down the round fan, and casually picked up a blue and white porcelain teacup to play with: "I am a Chinese. And what symbol are you talking about..."

Anna raised the bottom of the teacup in her hand to face the two: "It is an ancient counting method used in transactions between traders in China-Suzhou code."

"But you said that you used to live in the central Sichuan area." Sherlock said suddenly.

"For a while, I loved traveling in Jiangnan. I drilled in various places. I saw this kind of symbol a lot." Anna spread her hands indifferently: "But this kind of Suzhou code is not used in many places now, and I don't want to attract attention." People appear in the UK, so it can only be in Chinatown. After that, I asked Sebastian for some information about the bank case that you found out, and I noticed Van Kong. As long as I get his Take photos, call up the surveillance video of this area, and compare them at the right time a few days before the incident, it is not difficult to find his trace. Then... I will come here to wait for the rabbit."

"So, the number on that portrait..." Sherlock quickly picked up various commodities, looked at their labels, and compared and calculated various symbols: "It is...the number 15."

"That's right." Anna nodded. Although she sometimes disagreed with Sherlock, she fully recognized his intelligence.

Sherlock glanced at Anna, then hurried out.

Hello!Run when you understand, cross the river and tear down the bridge!You haven't told me why you are angry!

Anna stared blankly at Sherlock's back, and finally had no choice but to follow behind Sherlock just like Watson.

"However, Miss Anna, how did you know that we would come here at this time, and come early, after all, it's a few days away, and you can't wait here all day." Watson looked at the person walking beside him. Anna, raised her own doubts.

"Ah, I don't know why Sherlock has been doing something wrong these days. I have been observing your movements. I saw that you two are about to find this place, so I came ahead of time. You know that my hacking skills are very good, general monitoring, as long as I It is very easy to read it." Anna told the whole truth, anyway, it is estimated that Sherlock also understands this matter.

Don't talk about such things as surveillance surveillance so openly!

Watson raised his forehead, and every day he knew Anna, her image collapsed, making him feel that he was a fool for seeing her for the first time.

Eh, wait?Watson thought of a possibility.

"So...going to the bank that day was..." Watson asked tentatively.

Anna glanced at Watson, leaned over, and lowered her voice, "Well, you can't tell Sherlock that I secretly hacked his mailbox..."

"what!"

"Be gentle." Anna covered Watson's mouth, looked at Sherlock, as if he hadn't noticed it, and said quietly: "I didn't mean it either, Sherlock's computer security factor is very high, every time I go to There are obstacles when watching, so I often go to the dark symbolically but don’t watch anything, but I don’t know why that day, I just went to the dark habitually, and I saw Sebastian giving His email, thinking of what he was up to these days, I went to the bank..."

Watson recalled that it seemed that Sherlock was not using his computer that day, but his, because Sherlock was too lazy to go back to the room to get it...

But it's not right... Watson thought about it carefully. Sherlock always read things at a glance, but he stared at this email for a long time that day. He didn't close the email until he snatched back the computer. It's the usual style, it shouldn't be like this...

Watson felt as if he knew something.

The three of them sat by the window of a cafe opposite the Lucky Cat. Sherlock and Watson were talking with each other, and they quickly deduced the truth from it.This is a case triggered by smuggling.

Anna was silently drinking coffee at the side. She was good at connecting clues and deducing action trajectories, but she couldn't do anything about this kind of reasoning that was slightly mixed with interests and sophistication. After all, she It is rare to come into contact with this kind of thing, let alone a case that arises because of this thing.Moreover, in her dictionary, the word smuggling only appeared today, and all she encountered were legal transactions.

"I have already understood the basic situation. If you are bored, you can go back to Baker Street first." Sherlock glanced at Anna who was sitting beside him, and said indifferently. Since Linda's case, Anna was not very interested in all cases.

"For the sake of my usefulness, don't be angry." Anna asked tentatively. Normally, she would not be in the mood to do this, but this time it was really abnormal, and she couldn't find a reason at all. According to this If the state continues, according to past experience, she will never be able to hold back Sherlock Tsundere Holmes. It is said in the book that if there is no reason to lose your temper, you should coax your friends more, no matter what , Just admit that you are wrong, no matter what you think in your heart, your attitude must be sincere.She forgot what book it was, but it should be useful.

Anna secretly weighed whether her attitude of admitting her mistake was sincere enough.

"I'm not angry. If you have the skill, you might as well care about Harry. Don't make trouble with me and waste my time." Sherlock said coldly, but as far as Anna heard, the tone was not as hard as before. It seems that the book said is effective.

In fact, Sherlock didn't know why he was angry, but he was a little panicked. After returning from that party, he was unhappy seeing Anna Potter's stupid face.Could it be that the brotherly love that I hadn't grown for so many years suddenly exploded?Him and Mycroft?Thinking of this possibility, Sherlock felt goosebumps start to fall from his body.The tone also returned to normal due to this stimulation: "Maybe there is no case recently, which makes me feel a little bad. With this smuggling case, I feel much more comfortable, but you, who think about it all day long. Is your IQ starting to dwindle to that of the goldfish at Scotland Yard?"

Lestrade sneezed for no reason and felt an arrow in his knee.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the rain-soaked yellow pages in front of a white residential door, and Sherlock stood up abruptly and walked towards the door.

Watson looked at Sherlock, then at Anna. He was ready to keep up with Sherlock, but he hesitated when he looked at Anna.

"Don't worry, Mr. Watson." Anna smiled at Watson. Sherlock's attitude just now shows that he has returned to normal, and she has done all the clues she can help, which is unreasonable. Follow them again, as far as Anna herself is concerned,

I would rather go back to Baker Street: "There is nothing between us, thank you for your help, I will pay for the coffee, and you can continue to solve the case with Sherlock."

Watson felt relieved after hearing Anna's words, and hurriedly followed after making a goodbye gesture.

Through the window of the cafe, Anna watched with a smile as Watson followed Sherlock to the back of the apartment, and then walked back to the front of the apartment and yelled at the floor.

She paid the bill, put on the overcoat she leaned on the chair, tied her scarf, and was about to leave.Looking into the crowd, he frowned again.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged short-haired woman in black and wearing big sunglasses was looking in Watson's direction. After all, Watson's behavior was indeed a little weird.

What caught Anna's attention was the name of her gang—the Black Lotus Society.

Anna sighed and put on her bag. The names of the recent gangs have become more and more murderous. A few days ago, she saw a group of young people whose ids were the Buried Love Family.
