"Mr. Holmes, what exactly do you mean?" At this moment, Emily and her party had returned to their residence at 221B Baker Street.
In the restaurant just now, the great detective Sherlock continued to eat without saying a word after lighting the fire and setting off thunder, leaving the bewildered Emily aside so anxious that she almost shed tears.
Although Watson was also puzzled by Sherlock's behavior, he was used to believing that the big detective must have a reasonable reason, so he kept persuading Emily to ask when she went back.
Finally endured until she came back, Emily couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mr. Holmes, can you explain what you said just now?!" The girlfriend couldn't get through the phone, and the agent couldn't be found, and now her life and death are unknown.The big detective Sherlock obviously meant something.Emily admired herself for being able to bear it until she came back.
"You know what I'm talking about." Sherlock threw himself onto the sofa on the second floor. "A cup of coffee, two sugars, thank you."
Watching Dr. Watson pour coffee silently, Emily suppressed her anger and sat opposite Sherlock, "Mr. Holmes, don't you think you should explain your previous behavior?"
"Sherlock." The detective reached out to take the coffee and corrected Emily's address with a blank expression.
"...Fall...Sherlock." Linda can be called one of the closest people to Emily in this world, and now that she is missing, Emily, who was already frightened, is already in a mess, " Do you know anything? Is Linda okay?" Emily could hear her own "thump, thud, thud" heartbeat while clutching the phone tightly.
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?" After taking a sip of coffee, Sherlock looked at the pale girl sitting in front of him, "You already have the answer in your heart, why are you asking me?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Looking at the calm detective in front of her, Emily was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
"Sherlock." Watson looked at Emily who was about to cry, and said disapprovingly, "If you know anything, tell her."
After changing his posture, the great detective Sherlock leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and put his hands on his chin, "You know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I really don't understand, you are obviously better than those people A stupid goldfish has a bigger brain, so why do you want to imprison yourself in a fish tank? Look at yourself," Sherlock stretched out a finger and pointed in Emily's direction, "Literature? To that great Iron Man as a personal assistant?" The detective's tone was indescribably mocking, "You can have a more exciting life, but you want to make yourself invisible to everyone. Is this a new fashion trend?"
"I'm not in the mood to play riddles with you!" Emily was not interested in Sherlock's sudden chicken soup for the soul, "I just want to know if something happened to Linda?"
"Well", Sherlock who was interrupted roughly by Emily was not angry, "Don't you judge yourself?"
After being perfunctory by the big detective several times, Emily has endured to the limit, "You..."
"You really don't know?" The big detective with his back to the fireplace, his eyes were bright enough to see through people's hearts under the light.
"I..." Emily, who was obviously burning with anger, suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
"Emily? Sherlock?" Watson on the side couldn't understand what kind of riddle the two were playing. "What are you talking about?" Originally, Watson thought Sherlock was making a fool of himself, but looking at the performance of the two of them now, it seemed that things were a little more complicated.
"Oh, those of us who have always aspired to be goldfish have finally learned to use our brains." Sherlock's hand made a trick in the air, and took the coffee cup again.
"Even if Linda has a secret...it's impossible for her to have something to do with this incident." Emily sat back on the sofa.She looked at the big detective who didn't care in front of her, and felt panicked in her heart, "You think nothing happened to her?" Emily instinctively determined that the big detective Sherlock must think that Linda had something to do with this murder.
"Uh huh." Sherlock was noncommittal.
"Ah...wait a minute," interrupted Watson who was confused, "What are you talking about? Can anyone explain to me?" In the past, Watson only spoke when Mycroft was present. He would feel this feeling of being crushed by double IQ, and at this moment he unexpectedly found that Emily, who had just been entrusted by Iron Man to take care of her, could also give him this feeling when she was together with Sherlock.
"Ah, Watson, to put it simply, this Emily in front of us, she has an Inhuman roommate." Sherlock has become accustomed to explaining the case to Watson.
"What? Inhumans? What is that?" Even though he had seen many incredible things because he was with Sherlock, it was the first time Watson heard the name "Inhumans", "Aliens? And Thor The same? Or is it another name for mutants?” Compared with Thor, who fell from the sky, and Xavier School for Gifted Boys, which was advertised on TV, the name Inhumans is still very unfamiliar to the public, “What the hell is that? "
"Inhumans?" Emily was also surprised by the detective's judgment, "You think it is Inhumans? I always thought..." Emily never thought that the answer would be Inhumans, "I thought it was her mutant. "Actually, Emily doesn't think there is any difference between Inhumans and mutants.Both have magical superpowers, but one appeared in "X-Men" and the other appeared in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."Emily always felt that the different titles were probably just because of the different movie series.
"There is still a difference." Sherlock, as a person who has wandered the border between darkness and light for many years, is quite familiar with some mysterious organizations and strange abilities, "Tell me about your discovery." But he did not give any information at this moment. Emily and Watson's plan to give a science popularization lecture-they probably don't understand either.
"Linda...sometimes she's special." Living together for more than a year, Emily is also a sensitive person, how could she not notice her roommate's abnormalities sometimes? "She has great strength and good physical strength. Once she met a robber on the road. In order not to be robbed of her things, she insisted on dealing with the robber on the street for more than an hour until the police arrived." As An ordinary model in her early 20s could not even get enough to eat when her diet was strictly controlled, but Linda actually stepped on a pair of [-]cm high heels on the street late at night, carrying several big shopping bags in her hands. After dealing with a gangster with a sharp knife for so long and finally being unscathed, that was the first time Emily suspected her roommate.
"Uh huh, continue." Sherlock didn't see any expression on his face.
"Another time, late at night, I found her out and she didn't come back until three in the morning ... with blood on her body." That time Emily was terrified.She thought Linda was out to do something bad.But the news during that period was indeed calm, and even the serial killers who would appear every now and then disappeared in New York.
"Are you still not going to tell the truth?" Sherlock looked directly at Emily with his penetrating eyes.
"...I", Emily lowered her head to avoid meeting Sherlock's eyes, "Since I already know that she is an Inhuman, does it matter how I know?" She didn't want to say.
"You don't want to know the truth?" Sherlock was very dissatisfied with Emily's evasive attitude, "The people I saw at Scotland Yard that day were not like that." Sherlock remembered the shock that Emily brought to her that day.
Soft black hair, emerald eyes, and a red dress make the other party cute and cute.The little girl whose privacy had been exposed had a candy-specific sweet smell, and she smiled cutely, but what she said made Sherlock startled.
It is precisely because of this that Sherlock will allow the other party to live in.Otherwise, just relying on the request of the Iron Man Tony Stark and Mycroft?Sherlock had already thrown him on the road.
"It doesn't matter what the truth is, Mr. Holmes?" Emily raised her head and looked at Sherlock who was sitting opposite her. "The so-called truth is nothing more than the angle and time of looking at things. Even if you know it, what can you do?" Like? Many people in this world have been doing nothing all their lives and being deceived by all kinds of illusions, don’t they also live happily? Don’t you think that sometimes the reason we can laugh is that we don’t know anything?” Emily looked at the She remembered the hardcover "Sherlock Holmes Collection" she had bought.What would the great detective think if he knew that in some world he was just a fictional character in a novel? "Is the truth that important? You have never doubted for a moment on the road of pursuing the truth. Is the truth you are pursuing yourself really what you want?"
There was a moment of silence in the living room on the second floor of 221B Baker Street.
"No." Sherlock replied, "The truth can never be changed. Emily, you have never doubted for a moment that the truth you don't want to pursue is what you want?"
Even though Emily is a logic monster, she is not enough to look at in front of the real logic monster Sherlock Holmes.
"...it happened last year," Emily was persuaded by Sherlock, "Linda's original agent no longer took her, so she changed to a new agent. The agent at that time was not Allen, but another one. I I have only met a few times, and it feels... very bad." Or very bad, "Linda came back and told me that she hated the new agent, and he always took advantage of Linda and the others. Going into the dressing room while changing clothes, and..." It was a bit embarrassing to say this to Emily in front of two strange men, "and taking advantage of other girls." She changed the euphemism.
"Go on." Sherlock told Emily to go on.
"One day Linda had an event, and she came back very late." Emily unconsciously put the hot cocoa cup that Watson just brought over into her mouth, "She came back very late...it was already the early morning of the next day She just came back...she", Emily almost spilled the cocoa in the cup, "she went straight back to the room and didn't speak, I was worried so I knocked on the door, but... Look... there's a lot of blood in the coat."
"We can sit here all night at the rate you tell stories." Sherlock urged the little girl sitting opposite, "Go on."
"The next day, I saw with my own eyes that Linda's agent came to pick him up with a normal face, but, but his eyes... those are not the eyes of a living person at all!" Emily felt chills all over when thinking of that scene, "On the third day, I heard the news that the agent died in a car accident. She... I think she killed the agent long ago." Emily was very sure of this.
"What?" Watson was shocked by this development. "Emily, you mean... your roommate killed someone? Are you sure?"
"Of course not, it's just speculation." Emily denied.
"Hmph." Sherlock looked at Emily, who was still defending his friend at this moment, and couldn't help but mock her innocence, "Oh, let's hear what you did? You covered up a murderer..."
"You don't understand!" Emily interrupted the big detective opposite, "Mr. Holmes, if one day Dr. Watson committed a crime, would you cover him up or hand him over to Scotland Yard?" She waited. Sherlock on the opposite side replied, "Or let me put it another way. If one day, someone threatened the safety of Dr. Watson, you only have two choices. Sacrifice Dr. Watson or kill him yourself. Which one would you choose?" In the BBC TV series, the great detective Sherlock shot and killed Magnuson who threatened the safety of his best friend, and in Sir Conan Doyle’s original novel, there was a case describing that Dr. Watson was shot, and the great detective was very worried. He said bluntly that if the doctor had an accident, he would never let the criminal live.
"I may not have known Linda for a long time, but she is really important to me." Emily remembers that Linda has been taking good care of her since the joint rent. "Perhaps in your opinion, my behavior of covering up Linda is stupid, but so what? Since she is very good to me, why should I care about how she treats other people?"
Emily's three views are really positive at certain times.She never takes advantage of others, works hard, and relies on her own labor to exchange for things she likes.When I can't see some social injustices, I will find ways to help others.But sometimes, she is also very selfish.
She will ignore Linda's possible murderous behavior because Linda treats her well.In the same way, if it wasn't because she thought Moriarty was too dangerous, maybe Emily wouldn't be in a hurry to separate from him.
"Mr. Holmes, I am not a saint, nor a god. I have no right to judge the sins of others. I am just an ordinary person, and I have my own considerations. I only hope that the people I care about can live well. As for other things, I can’t control it, and I don’t want to.”
"You never suspected that what happened to you was related to your murderer's roommate?" Sherlock looked at the little girl with a stagnant back in front of him, with deep eyes.
"...No."
"Lie (lying)." Sherlock has always been merciless when he exposes other people's lies. "If you didn't suspect her, how could you tell the secret you have kept for so long?"
Facts have proved that the great detective Sherlock Holmes does have the ability to see through people's hearts.
"I'm not sure." If life is a coffee table, then Emily feels that there must be a whole set of cups on her coffee table at the moment, "I did have a little doubt at the first time, but it was quickly dismissed Canceled." She clenched her fists with both hands and tapped her temples.
"goon (continue)." Sherlock had a hard time understanding Emily's entanglement, "tell me."
"That time I was kidnapped by a cult." Her best friend might have something to do with her murderer, Emily felt flustered, "I rarely go out at night, as you know, the law and order in New York is actually not very good, Those serial killers seem to like New York. I always try to avoid going out when it's too dark. When I was kidnapped by the cult, it was Linda who got Mr. Stark's party invitation and I was going to follow her Signed." Sighing deeply, Emily, who was skeptical but did not dare to confirm, could only tell the story to the big detective in front of her, "We had already walked downstairs, but Linda suddenly said that she forgot Things. I want to go up with her to get them, but she refuses, so I must wait downstairs." Afterwards, Emily carefully recalled the details at that time, and she really felt that Linda's behavior was very strange at that time, "She said she forgot to take her mobile phone , I wanted to go back to pick it up, but she put it in her handbag when I saw her mobile phone."
"Is it okay to just go back and get something?" Watson, who hadn't been able to interrupt the conversation, asked.
"Yeah, I thought she might want to go back and get something that I couldn't see, so I didn't ask." So Emily, who was waiting downstairs alone, was knocked unconscious and taken away. .
"Stupid", Sherlock said mercilessly, "If you had been more wary of her at the time, you wouldn't have been kidnapped."
"But she ran to rescue me later and was also kidnapped!" It was this that dispelled Emily's suspicion.
"Humph".Sherlock, who had watched the surveillance video of the crime scene at the time, laughed at Emily's innocence, "With Linda White's strength and physical strength, she was taken away so easily, didn't you doubt it?" In fact, Linda White At that time, she was taken away by the kidnappers without any resistance.
"...I thought she just didn't want people to see her difference." Emily, who also watched the video afterwards, didn't doubt her friend at all.
"Then let's talk about your good friend's performance in the next restaurant hijacking incident." The news blocked by S.H.I.E.L.D. did not hide from the eyes of the great detective Sherlock Holmes.
"How much do you know?" Emily looked at the big detective in front of her.She wasn't sure if the other party knew all the details at the time.
"Moriarty prepared a small test for S.H.I.E.L.D.," Sherlock sneered at Moriarty's penchant for making trouble, "but Captain America was so negligent that he couldn't find out who Moriarty was hiding outside. It's surprising that the hijacking happened."
Now that the great detective Sherlock Holmes already knew the secrets that S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't want people to know, Emily didn't have any worries. "Linda's behavior after seeing Steve appeared was very abnormal." But It was Lucy who took the lead and asked the best man in the apartment to go out for dinner. How could Linda rush out of the restaurant in anger?Moreover, "She asked me to turn off the phone." This is what Emily is very puzzled in retrospect, "She said that she was afraid of being found by the agent, but at that time the work was over, even if Alan called and could How about it? Calling is not teleportation, can Allen suddenly appear in the restaurant?"
"Hmph, turning off your cell phone basically cut off your connection with the outside world, and then attracted Captain America to go out with her, leaving you completely alone in a restaurant full of robbers arranged by Moriarty. "Sherlock made a summary for Emily, "And then you are so stupid that you still don't doubt her."
"I knew her before I met Moriarty, she can't be Moriarty's person." This is also the point that Emily doesn't doubt Linda, "Things are all coincidental, but I still can't believe it She will kill me. She has no reason."
"Too many coincidences are conspiracy." Sherlock borrowed Emily's words to block back, "You can detect clues that the idiots at Scotland Yard can't find, why just refuse to believe that the people around you are criminals?"
"I have been working with Mr. Stark since then," Emily drank the hot cocoa in the cup, "I believe people from SHIELD are also monitoring me. If Linda really has a problem, it doesn't make sense S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers couldn’t find out, not to mention, Steve was our neighbor before. He saw Linda almost every day.” Captain America Steve Rogers has experienced World War II, and it can be said that Those who survived the hail of bullets.If there's something weird about Linda, there's no reason Steve wouldn't see it.
"Ha", Sherlock despised Emily's innocence extremely, "Your friend is a murderer, Captain America didn't see it either."
Regardless of her good neighbor Steve who was lying on the ground, Emily is still struggling with the identity of her friend Linda. "Mr. Holmes, tell me, Linda..." What's going on?
"Sherlock." The detective corrected Emily's title for the third time today.
"...Sherlock", Emily didn't know why the big detective was so obsessed with a name, "I just want to know, is Linda's disappearance related to that fanatical fan murder case? Also, she Is it safe now?" Before the matter came to a conclusion, Emily was still worried about her friend.
"She's much smarter than you." Sherlock said lightly, but what he said surprised Emily, "She didn't see the situation right, so she hid herself."
"What? That Linda White hid by herself?" Watson only thought Linda was from Moriarty after hearing Sherlock and Emily's description.At this time, it was incredible to hear that the other party was hiding, "Moriarty's subordinates are also afraid?" Watson was so impressed by the horror night in the swimming pool that he always thought that Moriarty's subordinates should also be afraid of the leader. Same, a bunch of lunatics.
"Who told you that Linda White belonged to Moriarty?" Sherlock was a little helpless at his roommate's dullness, "Watson, you need to have a little imagination."
"Then whose person is she?" Watson was really confused.
"Well", Sherlock turned his head to Emily who was sitting opposite, "Now we have to ask our little girl, who on earth has she...has messed with..."
In the restaurant just now, the great detective Sherlock continued to eat without saying a word after lighting the fire and setting off thunder, leaving the bewildered Emily aside so anxious that she almost shed tears.
Although Watson was also puzzled by Sherlock's behavior, he was used to believing that the big detective must have a reasonable reason, so he kept persuading Emily to ask when she went back.

I always try to avoid going out when it's too dark. When I was kidnapped by the cult, it was Linda who got Mr. Stark's party invitation and I was going to follow her Signed." Sighing deeply, Emily, who was skeptical but did not dare to confirm, could only tell the story to the big detective in front of her, "We had already walked downstairs, but Linda suddenly said that she forgot Things. I want to go up with her to get them, but she refuses, so I must wait downstairs." Afterwards, Emily carefully recalled the details at that time, and she really felt that Linda's behavior was very strange at that time, "She said she forgot to take her mobile phone , I wanted to go back to pick it up, but she put it in her handbag when I saw her mobile phone."
"Is it okay to just go back and get something?" Watson, who hadn't been able to interrupt the conversation, asked.
"Yeah, I thought she might want to go back and get something that I couldn't see, so I didn't ask." So Emily, who was waiting downstairs alone, was knocked unconscious and taken away. .
"Stupid", Sherlock said mercilessly, "If you had been more wary of her at the time, you wouldn't have been kidnapped."
"But she ran to rescue me later and was also kidnapped!" It was this that dispelled Emily's suspicion.
"Humph".Sherlock, who had watched the surveillance video of the crime scene at the time, laughed at Emily's innocence, "With Linda White's strength and physical strength, she was taken away so easily, didn't you doubt it?" In fact, Linda White At that time, she was taken away by the kidnappers without any resistance.
"...I thought she just didn't want people to see her difference." Emily, who also watched the video afterwards, didn't doubt her friend at all.
"Then let's talk about your good friend's performance in the next restaurant hijacking incident." The news blocked by S.H.I.E.L.D. did not hide from the eyes of the great detective Sherlock Holmes.
"How much do you know?" Emily looked at the big detective in front of her.She wasn't sure if the other party knew all the details at the time.
"Moriarty prepared a small test for S.H.I.E.L.D.," Sherlock sneered at Moriarty's penchant for making trouble, "but Captain America was so negligent that he couldn't find out who Moriarty was hiding outside. It's surprising that the hijacking happened."
Now that the great detective Sherlock Holmes already knew the secrets that S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't want people to know, Emily didn't have any worries. "Linda's behavior after seeing Steve appeared was very abnormal." But It was Lucy who took the lead and asked the best man in the apartment to go out for dinner. How could Linda rush out of the restaurant in anger?Moreover, "She asked me to turn off the phone." This is what Emily is very puzzled in retrospect, "She said that she was afraid of being found by the agent, but at that time the work was over, even if Alan called and could How about it? Calling is not teleportation, can Allen suddenly appear in the restaurant?"
"Hmph, turning off your cell phone basically cut off your connection with the outside world, and then attracted Captain America to go out with her, leaving you completely alone in a restaurant full of robbers arranged by Moriarty. "Sherlock made a summary for Emily, "And then you are so stupid that you still don't doubt her."
"I knew her before I met Moriarty, she can't be Moriarty's person." This is also the point that Emily doesn't doubt Linda, "Things are all coincidental, but I still can't believe it She will kill me. She has no reason."
"Too many coincidences are conspiracy." Sherlock borrowed Emily's words to block back, "You can detect clues that the idiots at Scotland Yard can't find, why just refuse to believe that the people around you are criminals?"
"I have been working with Mr. Stark since then," Emily drank the hot cocoa in the cup, "I believe people from SHIELD are also monitoring me. If Linda really has a problem, it doesn't make sense S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers couldn’t find out, not to mention, Steve was our neighbor before. He saw Linda almost every day.” Captain America Steve Rogers has experienced World War II, and it can be said that Those who survived the hail of bullets.If there's something weird about Linda, there's no reason Steve wouldn't see it.
"Ha", Sherlock despised Emily's innocence extremely, "Your friend is a murderer, Captain America didn't see it either."
Regardless of her good neighbor Steve who was lying on the ground, Emily is still struggling with the identity of her friend Linda. "Mr. Holmes, tell me, Linda..." What's going on?
"Sherlock." The detective corrected Emily's title for the third time today.
"...Sherlock", Emily didn't know why the big detective was so obsessed with a name, "I just want to know, is Linda's disappearance related to that fanatical fan murder case? Also, she Is it safe now?" Before the matter came to a conclusion, Emily was still worried about her friend.
"She's much smarter than you." Sherlock said lightly, but what he said surprised Emily, "She didn't see the situation right, so she hid herself."
"What? That Linda White hid by herself?" Watson only thought Linda was from Moriarty after hearing Sherlock and Emily's description.At this time, it was incredible to hear that the other party was hiding, "Moriarty's subordinates are also afraid?" Watson was so impressed by the horror night in the swimming pool that he always thought that Moriarty's subordinates should also be afraid of the leader. Same, a bunch of lunatics.
"Who told you that Linda White belonged to Moriarty?" Sherlock was a little helpless at his roommate's dullness, "Watson, you need to have a little imagination."
"Then whose person is she?" Watson was really confused.
"Well", Sherlock turned his head to Emily who was sitting opposite, "Now we have to ask our little girl, who on earth has she...has messed with..."
