[one more]

The crisp sound of coins sounded, and Marnie stared blankly at the little guy spinning around on the ground.On one side are characters, on the other side are flowers, which are RMB.

She didn't believe that a certain guy would be so generous to save her.

Besides, she doesn't think she can't get out of here with her own ability. Thinking about Moriarty's current account, she has achieved a lot of success. When she thinks of that annoying guy with his chin raised high and saying that she is not qualified, she is so annoyed. Tooth itching.

After making up his mind not to turn around, the slender Sherlock next to him raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully when he saw the coin, and the interest in his eyes undoubtedly hinted that he was determined to investigate to the end at this time. determination.

There was another crisp jingle sound, as if a coin was thrown from a high altitude, and flew straight towards her ear. Marnie felt a strong force rushing towards her earlobe, and then a silver little guy rushed towards Moriah. Dee flew away murderously.

Of course, the snipers behind Moriarty gave him perfect cover.

But one bullet is exchanged for one coin. From the perspective of cost, there is no doubt that this side wins completely.

Moriarty also raised his eyebrows, and when he found the coins on the ground, his expression was exactly the same as Sherlock's.

"So this is your little trick?" Moriarty sighed, lowered his body, picked up the coin and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, then clenched his hand into a fist, the coin lay on the second joint of his index finger, and he dexterously picked it with his thumb , A familiar sound came from his hand, the coin left his hand and circled in mid-air, but contrary to the normal state of free fall, it flew behind Marnie in an instant.

Marnie pursed her lips, and fuck his uncle, as expected, he still came, the guy who got in the way.

Before she could turn around, someone grabbed her shoulders suddenly, and then a deep voice came from above her head, but it was not the clear voice of the boy before. Marnie turned around suspiciously, and saw a guy in a black suit with a wine-red shirt quite Sao Bao, this outfit first reminded her of her old father at home.

(Tony: old father???)

But after he spoke, Marnie realized that she was thinking too much. This person is obviously Chinese.

"Hello, little princess." It was Mandarin with a perfect accent.

Marnie looked up and saw a gentle and gentle smile, which made her think of the kind old man Pound, but the other party was obviously not, but the familiarity and intimacy of the other party made her think of old man Pound.

... Judging from her limited experience, he should also be... money?

But he used RMB?

Marnie frowned inexplicably. What's going on? Could it be that the coins that have become fine are so rare now that they are already being sold everywhere?What happened during the time she was imprisoned...

Marnie looked at this very kind middle-aged man in awe, he was the most secure person in the audience.

"I'm sorry," he finally spoke English, according to Marnie's height, bent over slightly, pampered Marnie as if looking at a child, rubbed Marnie's head, and said, "That kid was too ignorant before. , I will be responsible for taking you home."

Marnie's expression was complicated, and she took a step back subconsciously. Sherlock, who was just behind her, took half a step forward to avoid her, and just rightly avoided her being exposed in Moriarty's sight.

The four of them were inexplicably divided into two groups, and the Chu River Han boundary was quite distinct.Brother Yuan in front of Marnie—er, no—Uncle Renminbi looked at the two people over there, and stretched out his hand to Marnie very gently, signaling that she could hold him.

"Little Dole, you should have noticed it too," he said gently, "It's not suitable for you to stay here, otherwise you will hinder the decisive battle between the two next to you."

He had a laugh in his voice, and seemed unmoved by this life-threatening activity.

Of course Moriarty noticed his contempt, and said with a sneer, "Why, you look down on me?"

Uncle Yuan shook his head apologetically, and then said: "That's not true, sir, I just think that this is a matter between you humans, and it has nothing to do with me and Dole."

Marnie hesitated to step back, but after hearing what he said, she said with some guilt: "But, but...the reason why Mr. Holmes came here."

"Don't worry too much, little princess," Yuan Yuan looked at the two, put his hands in his pockets idly, the smile on the corner of his lips remained graceful, but it was more of a sense of detachment, as if everything in front of him was out of sight. It's none of his business, although the fact is true, but at this moment he patiently analyzed to Marnie, "Even if you don't show up, these two people will have to meet sooner or later."

This is too sure, Marnie frowned, but what she discovered at the moment was not only these, but the attitude of the RMB in front of her—was she still thinking about the money that Chengjing had run all over the place? , but now she suddenly realized that in fact he is still the little brother, but his attitude is more gentle, obviously much more restrained than the hard-edged little brother RMB.

Perhaps this kind of thinking is indeed correct for these currency friends, but for her——Marnie gradually became firm, but for her, it is obvious that the relationship between the two cannot be clearly separated.

Because she didn't grow up in money, she grew up in human society, she has her own memory as a human being, and she can't just separate herself from this relationship.

Moreover, I have to thank Little Brother Yuan for his sharp words, she is now more and more sure of one thing.

That is, she is indeed different from human beings, but she really cannot be integrated into the currency family.

This is not a sad thing, she has seen clearly her situation and the situation of her environment.Since she couldn't fit both, she didn't need to force herself to deceive herself.Not suitable is not suitable.

Just like the attitude towards the current matter——

Marnie smiled and said, "Thank you, but I think I have to stay. Mr. Holmes is here to rescue me. Of course I can't just leave without any burden."

"And what if someone dies..." she murmured.

A trace of indifference flashed in Uncle Yuan's eyes.

Mani blissed to her heart, realizing the meaning of his indifference.

Just as human beings don't feel empathy because I lost a dollar today, currencies don't feel heartbroken because of a person's death.

But of course it will be a pity for a while, just like after a human being loses a piece of money with a large face value, he will feel very sorry for the value that this banknote brought him, and the currency will also lament that he cannot continue to create wealth because of the death of an outstanding person .

This is of course an unbridgeable gap.

Different feelings, different races, different worlds.

Moriarty leisurely took out his mobile phone from his pocket, made a call lightly, and then deliberately released it, scanning the three people present with his piercing eyes.

"Professor Moriarty?" the person over there said coldly.

Moriarty blinked and said, "It's me, guess what I want you to do today?"

The opposite party replied bluntly: "I don't know."

The conversation between the two echoed in the room, like some kind of signaling signal.

"Tsk, Sebastian, you..." Moriarty rolled his eyes to show that the other party was too boring, and then said lazily, "Forget it, anyway, that's your personality. Listen, sir. Detective Mr. Holmes has come to the humble house."

He glanced quickly at Holmes, who seemed to him as collateral trophies.

"You have to clear the place for me, so that Mr. Holmes can enjoy himself in this little place," said Moriarty. "Clear the place, do you understand, Moran?"

The person on the other side froze for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Professor, is it... the Reichenbach Community?"

"Of course," Moriarty said, "I imprisoned that dollar bill spirit last time, cheers, I'm going to catch another refined RMB."

Uncle Yuan shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

He turned to look at Marnie, then took her hand lightly, and said, "Well, since you want to stay, then stay, but I still won't interfere in their affairs, I'm only responsible for protecting them." you, and take you home."

go home……

which home?

Marnie remained silent, and immediately turned the table angrily——

Go back home!wave up!

Moriarty over there was also very happy, and then said to his Sherlock Holmes, the staple food of a full banquet: "Okay, sir, although you came early, I don't have time to prepare a fun meal for you." games, but playgrounds can also be ready."

Then Marnie heard a huge roar not far away, and her eyes widened immediately.

what is that?Did something explode?

Moriarty blinked and ignored the two people behind him. Uncle Yuan took a cigarette out of his pocket leisurely and stuffed it into his mouth.

The appearance of nicotine caused Sherlock to look sideways.

He said displeasedly: "London is banning smoking."

Uncle Yuan blinked innocently, with a cigarette between his lips, and said vaguely, "That's for you humans."

After finishing speaking, he swaggered out of the matchbox from his coat pocket, took out a match skillfully, rubbed it lightly on the sandpaper, a small flame lit up between his hands, and then the smell of nicotine gradually spread .

He didn't notice it, and he looked elegant and leisurely while puffing and puffing. With a cigarette between his index finger and middle finger, he looked at the two people over there, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Look at what I am doing, you continue."

Sherlock looked away dissatisfied, but his good upbringing prevented him from showing it. Instead, his face became more indifferent: "I don't know where you have the courage to touch such a dangerous thing as a flame."

Uncle Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Neither Marnie nor Moriarty looked very good, especially Moriarty.

Marnie said helplessly: "You guys should stop chatting, something exploded! Didn't you hear that!"

[Second update]

"So what if you hear it?" Uncle Yuan rubbed her head, "Don't worry, let him handle these matters."

He raised his chin in Sherlock's direction, and said, "He's amazing."

"You can even see this?" Marnie couldn't help asking.

"You'll be able to see it when you grow up a bit," he smiled, looked at Marnie dotingly, and said, "As for now, there's no rush."

The two were still talking homely, but the other two were not in this state at all. Moriarty handed him his mobile phone with a bad face, then waved his hands without saying a word, and then a burst of crazy shots went straight Going straight towards them, Marnie was startled, but saw Uncle Renminbi waving his hand casually, and then a coin came out of nowhere and ran around, only a silver afterimage was seen waving in the air, Then there was a small spark in the air, and it turned into a warhead on the ground.

Moriarty was gone.

Like a magician.

Marnie looked at Sherlock uneasily, and said, "Are you still planning to summon your cloak?"

Sherlock didn't even look at her, just stared at the mobile phone he just took over, and then the corner of the windbreaker fluttered, and he left the room straight away, walked through the corridor and walked outside.

Judging from his back, this Mr. Detective is quite tall and full of aura.Especially this big windbreaker.

Marnie thought about it, it seems that the other party's cloak and windbreaker have similar functions?Now there is still this kind of operation... After putting on the cloak, the strength value explodes, and after putting on the windbreaker, the intelligence value explodes?

London, Great Britain is full of talented people.

She sighed, and followed Mr. Detective obediently, while Renminbi behind her walked gently beside her.

"Mr. Holmes, where are we going now?" Marnie asked loudly from behind.

Without looking back, Sherlock explained very quickly: "Moriarty said that time bombs have been installed in every house in this community, and there are a total of three hostages staying in this community, and we need to rescue them."

He paused: "Every 5 minutes, the bomb explodes randomly. There are a total of fifty villas in this community. Excluding Moriarty's 221B and the one that just exploded, there are 48 villas left. Wait until the hostages After all are killed, the place will be detonated. In other words, we have four hours to rescue the hostages."

Four hours is enough to visit these villas...

Marnie thought.

"How can it be so simple?" Uncle Yuan Yuan next to him seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained the remaining unclear words for Mr. Detective, "When we enter any villa, there is a possibility of being blown up, let alone Said that in case it happens to the hostages..."

Marnie was stunned: "Then let's split up—"

"No," Sherlock said, "Moriarty doesn't see you as human beings."

Marnie: "..."

"What he means is," Sherlock stopped, turned around and handed the phone to Marnie. After Marnie took the phone, she realized what it means that Moriarty didn't treat them as human beings, "he's watching us, So if we parted, he would just blow up a hostage."

Renminbi blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile: "Humans, it's so interesting."

I will die, brother!

Trembling, Marnie handed the phone back to Sherlock, then turned her head and asked RMB: "If it really explodes, can you protect our lives?"

Renminbi: "No."

Then why are you so confident!

"If you had left with me just now," he said, "perhaps there would be no such thing."

"But Mr. Holmes..." Marnie said helplessly, well, again, she would still choose to stay, no matter whether staying was useful or not, she would not be able to pass the test of her own conscience.

"You are a kind money," Uncle Yuan said, with blue smoke filling the corners of his mouth, "I think it's pretty good. I think, since you choose to stay, I have to respect your idea."

Marnie said in astonishment, "That's what hurt you."

"It's okay," Uncle Yuan laughed, "Imagine cell mitosis, even if I die, there is still that kid supporting me..." He paused again, "Although I have already handed over the mess to him gone."

That boy is the little brother RMB?

Sherlock in the front is solving the puzzle seriously, but the two behind him are talking endlessly.

Uncle Yuan continued: "If he hadn't handled your matter well, I wouldn't have shown up. After all, I'm still here to clean up the mess." He grinned, "Anyway, it's time for me to retire, life and death It doesn’t make much sense to me, the renminbi still exists, that’s enough.”

Marnie was still at a loss, how could life and death be meaningless?

"You don't understand now," he rubbed Marnie's head again, "you will understand in a few years."

After he finished speaking, Sherlock glanced over coldly: "I advise you to use your brains more and less your mouths, if your coins have brains."

Uncle Yuan Yuan said helplessly: "Okay, okay, come and let me see what I can do for you."

Uncle Renminbi stepped forward, and the two tall men stood together, inexplicably making people feel very reliable, but when they looked down at the phone, Marnie turned around and saw something different.

What the hell...

She twitched the corner of her mouth and asked, "Mr. Holmes, how long did you say it took to explode a villa?"

"Five minutes." He turned his head, and then noticed the thing too.

A large display screen, with big blood red characters on it, counting the seconds by seconds.

There are still 3 minutes until the explosion of the next villa.

Marnie hates things like countdowns the most, just like the deadline for submitting papers at the end of the term, the reduction in time always makes her inexplicably irritable.

"What is the clue James gave?" Marnie couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't keep staring at the countdown, otherwise she might die of anxiety, she had to think about something else, so she walked up to him in two steps, and then I saw a sentence written on the screen of his mobile phone.

[This is the easiest puzzle:)]

Then what he gave was a ten by ten Sudoku table.

WTF!Marnie rolled her eyes. There is only one table for Sudoku twelve by twelve, and there are only fifteen numbers. What does this mean?Only 3 minutes away!Even if they can solve Sudoku, how can they find the house number they need with a string of numbers!

Her IQ for the villain has always been far behind, but now that she sees a twelve by twelve Sudoku table, she almost lays down and quits.

But she couldn't help but glance at the countdown behind her, well, she still wants to Sudoku.

Sherlock's gray-green eyes scanned the Sudoku table up and down, and then handed the phone to Marnie next to him. He obviously didn't need to stare at the table all the time, as his memory was strong enough.

but……

He glanced at the guy next to him smoking a cigarette.

"I heard that you Chinese are good at math?" He almost teased.

"It's overrated." Uncle Yuan was modest, and then said without shame, "It's certainly a little better than the British."

"Then solve this Sudoku." Sherlock said, then strode away from the two pieces of money, and made a strong left turn at the destination.

Marnie looked up blankly: "What's wrong...?"

"Mr. Holmes probably solved Sudoku." Uncle Yuan smiled and held out his hand to her. This time Marnie grabbed him without much hesitation, and the two continued to follow Sherlock's footsteps.

"Untied?" Marnie was dumbfounded.

It's not that she acted stupid on purpose...

But she felt that she really had no brains in front of this guy...

Sherlock: won't your brain hurt.jpg

Marnie: I don't have such a thing as a brain.jpg

She had no choice but to look to the unfathomable Mr. Yuan next to her for help.

"I think..." He rubbed his chin, "This Sudoku is probably a map."

What map?

"I don't know either." Yuan Yuan said with a smile, "I just guessed, otherwise, why would the detective circle the villa twice?"

Marnie saw that Sherlock had indeed circled twice in front, and suddenly felt that the matter was extremely complicated. Mr. Detective would actually circle in circles?

Certainly no ordinary circles.

What Renminbi said is indeed correct. Sudoku is a map. He filled in the numbers of that Sudoku in his mind one by one. Combined with the schematic diagram of the Reichenbach community, he found that his location was in the lower right corner 6 positions.

There are 48 villas, every three villas correspond to a grid, which happens to be a twelve by twelve Sudoku table, Moriarty’s villa is excluded from the villa that just exploded...

He felt he could find that way.

So he walked along the string of 6s.

As for the circle around the same house... that was because he wasn't sure whether it was more reasonable to go clockwise or counterclockwise.

Of course the two brainless money next to her didn't understand what she was doing.

He glanced at the two people over there, and continued to walk silently to the next grid.

The two walked behind him and almost walked through the entire community, only to find that almost everywhere they went, there were monitors, and all of them were counting down.

The more Marnie watched these countdowns, the more irritable she became. She only diverted her attention while hoping to reach that place quickly.

It's amazing that there is no one in a good community.

She looked around, and there was silence. There was really no one there. As for the hostages Moriarty mentioned, she didn't know if they were here, or if Moriarty was just lying to them.

Marnie accidentally saw the numbers on the display again.

"Mr. Holmes," she said helplessly, "there is only one minute left."

"I know." He said indifferently, and then stopped in front of a house, "This is it."

【Third watch】

Mani was shocked, and was about to step in, but Yuan grabbed her wrist. When Mani looked back, he frowned. Then, as if he felt something, he quickly pulled Mani back, and turned around suddenly to block it. Protecting her in front of her, his hands quickly covered her ears.

Before Marnie could react, she heard the house explode suddenly, the sound was deafening, and something flew towards them, Uncle Yuan's strong coin came out of his pocket again, destroying everything in a hurry Danger flying towards them.

Sherlock deftly avoided the debris of several houses, then looked up at the burned villa, holding the mobile phone in his hand, his joints turned white.

A notification came from the phone in his hand.

Sherlock silently took out his phone and glanced at it.

[The answer is correct, but there are no hostages inside, so don't waste your time looking for someone:)]

fuck it.

Marnie heard Sherlock read this line softly, and cursed in her heart first.

Yuan Yuan said helplessly: "Girls can't swear."

Marnie took a step back: "How do you know I'm swearing in my heart?"

"When you grow up, you can do it too," he said again with the panacea reason, "but human society is really not a good place, who taught you how to swear."

Marnie was absent-minded for a moment, then blinked her eyes in a trance, and smiled very reluctantly: "It's okay, he has already apologized with death."

……

Wade Wilson, who "already" apologized for his death, just got off the boat at this moment, stretched himself, and looked at this strange land.

"Old Tie, have you heard recently that someone is particularly rich?" He asked the person next to him.

The person next to him raised his head and looked at him blankly.It turned out to be an Asian face.

... The opposite is true, he actually took a boat to the opposite direction from England.

"Don't understand?" Wade frowned, "Okay, goodbye, I'll find someone who can understand English and ask."

……

Marnie looked at the soaring flames in front of her, frowned and asked, "Why haven't the police come yet?"

"The Reichenbach community is in a remote suburb," Sherlock explained, "and just now Moriarty called his accomplices to 'clear the place', probably not only to clear the place here, but also to attract the attention of the police. "

What Sherlock said was indeed true. At the moment when the people from Scotland Yard came out of 221B, Inspector Lestrade had a cold face, and Donovan next to him squinted his eyes: "Inspector, such a bizarre explosion happened, And that weird Sherlock Holmes just so happens to be away—"

"Enough," he cast a warning glance at his colleague, "Sherlock won't do such a thing."

"That's not necessarily true." The colleague smiled sarcastically, "Who knows whether that high-functioning anti-social personality cares more about human life or some dangerous and exciting cases."

John Watson, who was standing at the door, was about to turn around and enter the house, but he turned back when he heard this sentence, and warned loudly, "Ma'am, you'd better shut up!"

Donovan looked back at him, facing this kind military doctor, she was not at all afraid: "Am I wrong?"

"Sherlock is not that kind of person." As a close friend of Mr. Detective, he gritted his back teeth and looked extremely tough. "Since you don't know him well, I advise you to keep your mouth shut."

Donovan was about to refute, but was pulled away by Lestrade, who even nodded apologetically to Dr. Watson, and said helplessly, "Once Sherlock is contacted, tell him to come to the police station. "

Only then did Watson ease his expression, and nodded in agreement.

but……

As for whether Sherlock cares more about human life or exciting and dangerous cases, although he is willing to believe in Sherlock, he also understands that Sherlock is not so easy to be seen through.

Did Mr. Holmes disappoint him...?

Sherlock pursed his lips and said, "A new clue has arrived."

Marnie subconsciously looked at the display screen next to her. Indeed, the display screen started counting down again.

She felt that she was going to be driven crazy by the countdown, but she couldn't just turn around and leave.

But the countdown seems to be a stimulant for Mr. Detective, which can only make his blood boil even more. Marnie took a casual look, but found that Sherlock's eyes were full of interest.

Marnie froze for a moment, then suddenly became puzzled.

"Why does Mr. Holmes seem to care about human life..." She said in a daze, "I don't really care..."

"Since you can be human," Yuan explained gently, "then you have to allow some people not to be human."

But this is too unrealistic. She originally thought that a person like Holmes should be a person with a strong sense of justice. Even if he didn't exist like that, at least he wouldn't have any worries about the hostages in danger.

"Goldfish, put away your stupid universal values," he put the phone back into his pocket, took another step with his long legs, and explained inexplicably as he passed by Marnie, "If you are as sure as I am, Let everyone down, and you won't worry about it."

This is...too arrogant...

Marnie was stunned, and when she turned her head, she could only see Mr. Detective's windbreaker slipping past the narrow path, and the left side of her face was still reddened by the burning house, so she was completely behind this guy.

"He doesn't look decent at all!" Marnie couldn't help but said to Yuan Yuan, "Only villains are like this, this IQ, this arrogant attitude, and this vicious tongue attribute - did I provoke the villain? Without knowing it, I thought I had found a hero!"

Yuan Yuan expressed surprise at her strange thinking angle, frowned, and said dumbfoundingly: "Your first thought was this?"

Marnie was stunned: "Is there something wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong." Mr. Yuan patted her on the head dotingly, "You really are still a child." The way of looking at the problem is still in the format of comics and novels.

Marnie faintly sensed something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

She sighed, followed the RMB, and continued to circle around the Reichenbach district, as if this was a maze that could never get out, or a maze with a countdown, she really hated this place.

Sherlock ran tirelessly from villa to villa, and after running through four puzzles, all the results he got were villas that exploded on the spot, giving them no chance to enter the house to rescue the hostages.

Marnie almost wondered if there were any of the hostages Moriarty called in this place.

"Stop!" Marnie was completely manic, Sherlock stopped impatiently and looked back at her, Marnie frowned, the timers on the surrounding screens flashed red in her mind, she was really bored .

"Is there really a hostage here?" She calmed down, maintained her tone, and asked the detective in front of her, "Mr. Holmes, Sherlock, you see we have been running for so long, what else is there besides the sound of explosions?"

"And your nonsense voice," Sherlock said relentlessly.

Marnie: "..."

Don't you really think it's weird?

She watched the timer reach less than 1 minute again, and couldn't help becoming irritable again, but she really didn't worry as much as the first time, after all, Sherlock can always find the answer when the countdown is 1 minute, and then there will be another A house exploded in place in front of them.

But now it's kind of weird.

Marnie looked at the timer and saw that it had stopped for two seconds—

"Sherlock," she murmured, "the timer just stopped."

"What?" Sherlock looked at her, then quickly glanced at the functioning timer. "Stopped?"

"Yes..." Marnie frowned, "The timer just stopped for a second."

The smile on Yuan Yuan's face slowly disappeared: "What?"

"Because I hate having these countdown numbers around..." she sighed, "I don't even have an electronic clock at home. So I just had to keep an eye on this timer, and it literally stopped for a second."

But what does that mean?

Sherlock didn't stop there, watched the timer slowly approaching 40 seconds, and continued to walk to the next villa, but kept the reason she mentioned in mind. Marnie stayed where she was, looking at the timer with a complicated expression. However, she found that Sherlock stood in front of a villa diagonally opposite for a while, and found that the villa did not explode on the spot this time, so he rushed in quickly.

Renminbi glanced at Marnie, and followed Sherlock.

Marnie withdrew her gaze, her eyes still fixed on the timer.

strangeness……

Why……

The timer doesn't stop?

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and at that moment, she seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and suddenly thought of a possibility——

Could it be so?
