Baker Street Charterers
Chapter 90 9
Regarding the question of being able to fall into the net wherever she went, Nora's heart almost collapsed.
And this time there will be no such good luck as last time that they could just wait for the police to rescue them from the fire and water.Since Moriarty appeared here, it must mean that Lestrade and the others will be dragged halfway by various accidents, and they can't make it here to make a timely rescue.
"Sandra," Moriarty smiled slightly. He leaned on a smooth mahogany cane, stood upright, and spoke in a gentle and decent tone, as if he was calling his old friend, "Put down the gun. Old friend." Let's meet, we should be more polite."
The red-haired woman put away the pistol very docilely. Ella curled her lips as if she didn't care, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of Moriarty. She covered half of her face with a fan and suppressed all expressions.
Moriarty shifted his gaze to Holmes. He tapped the ground with his crutches, raised his chin slightly, and said in a low and soft voice, "Long time no see, Sherlock Holmes. Of course, I must congratulate you before that. You almost We're going to find that beautiful Miss Judy and solve this case...it's a pity."
"For me, it's not as simple as 'nearly'." Holmes seemed to be coping with it. "Unfortunately, Moriarty, you will always be one step ahead of us-of course, it may be because of this matter. The so-called case is nothing more than a puzzle game that you use to amuse us in your spare time. Even I have to admit that you do have a first-rate human mind, just like a spider lurking in the center of a spider web, unmoving, but Knowing the tremors of every cobweb... I am called the Consulting Detective, so I should, of course, call you the 'Napoleon of Crime,' the Consultant of Crime."
"I like the title you gave me," Moriarty nodded and smiled, "So compared to our not-so-pleasant meeting last time, what do you know about me this time?"
"I would like to share it with you, but not now." Holmes shrugged. "Who knows if you will be so enraged that you will kill yourself? I see that the beautiful lady behind you has unkind eyes."
Moriarty turned his head slightly and glanced at Marianne. His face immediately changed, and he lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders in fear.
"I apologize for her. I have been negligent in managing my subordinates recently. I hope you will forgive her for being reckless." Moriarty turned his head again, and his eyes slowly moved to Nora, flickering slightly, "Oh, pretty Miss Nora, you look even more splendid than ever. It seems that Holmes has taken good care of you."
Nora was not surprised at all that he would know about their relationship, she subconsciously tightened her muscles, but instead showed a smile on her face, "Thank you for your compliment...Mr. M, you look younger and more handsome than the last time I saw you It’s gone.” She kept talking nonsense with her eyes completely open, and everyone in the room knew that she hadn’t seen Moriarty’s true face at all.
The other party didn't mind at all, and he even smiled amusedly, as if he was very curious, "I have to say that you are more confident than I imagined... I think you know who this place belongs to, but you still come—two personal."
"As for this question, I think the answer should be very clear to you." Holmes replied slowly, "When we decided to investigate this case, we were no longer afraid of any possible danger... I don't think we need to reiterate our It's a matter of courage, because you should feel the most clearly about this matter, Moriarty, who has planned countless crimes."
"You—" Colonel Moran's face darkened, as if he felt that the boss was offended, he took a step forward, but was stopped by Moriarty with an angry look.
"Your eloquence is as good as ever." Moriarty was not angry at all, and even squinted his eyes with interest, "But this time is different, Holmes, how will you escape from me this time? ——I hope you won't let me down, you must be my only pleasure these days, don't take it away."
"You didn't have any guns in your hands last time." Holmes spread his hands. "But this time is different, Moriarty, not to mention that I brought a lady with me."
Moriarty smiled gracefully, "You want to numb me, Holmes. Ma'am? Oh yes, Miss Nora is indeed a lady, but I also know very well that she is not a weak and docile woman. Marianne didn't give way too much, didn't she? She surprised me many times, of course, what surprised me the most was that she made Sherlock Holmes regard her as the most precious treasure in his life. Too many more beautiful ladies than her Can't do that."
These words made Marianne's already dissatisfied complexion even more gloomy, but she lowered her head so that no one could see her expression.
Holmes raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "That's true." He didn't want to talk about it, and chose to change the subject wisely, "Now, are you here to stop us or solve us, mysterious m gentlemen?"
Moriarty raised his lips, the corners of his eyes were bent into a graceful arc, leaning on a cane with one hand, and the other behind his back, he said calmly, "Neither...in fact, I I came here just to 'see' you."
Look?
"I heard that Miss Nora is very skilled. Marianne has always wanted to know who would be the winner in a competition." Moriarty didn't seem to see Marianne's sudden surprised expression, still With a calm mind, "It's just right, Sebastian is good at marksmanship, and has some research on close combat. Maybe you can compete."
"That's it?" Holmes raised his eyebrows.
"So far, that's it." Moriarty replied with a smile, "Perhaps you won't believe how rare it is for someone like me to find a satisfactory opponent or partner. I am keen on playing games. , I can master all kinds of games very well. And you are a good opponent, and I am very happy to play this interesting game with you. I can even guarantee that until the end of the game... you will be safe .”
"And my friend?" said Holmes with perfect coolness about this almost insulting assurance.
"That's up to you," Moriarty replied.But for them, this is clearly a threat. Even if Holmes is a genius and a good hand in solving crimes and reasoning, he will feel restrained by it, because he knows that once it involves shaking the foundation of Moriarty's criminal empire, his Partners and friends are instantly plunged into great misery and danger.
Moriarty is indeed the winner of the game. He made the rules of this ridiculous game very clear-you can do some interesting things under my supervision, but that is just "fun" and does not include anything that hinders me. Plan, you can only please me and follow the plot I wrote before.Remember never to overplay, otherwise what awaits you will be the loss of your loved ones and the catastrophe of extinction.
Nora would not be surprised by this at all—in fact, she has seen quite a few of these highly intelligent, high-functioning sociopaths. They generally have a high IQ, are very knowledgeable, or are proficient in a certain kind of knowledge, usually medicine. Or a skill as broad as toxicology.This type of person is highly aggressive and lacks a sense of moral shame for murdering human life. The motives for committing crimes are generally driven by emotional desires and are cynical. After killing people, they often leave clues to provoke the police. He also felt complacent about the helplessness of the police.And Moriarty, without a doubt, is the best among them—he is extremely smart and extremely conceited, with an elegant and modest appearance, but there is no doubt that his heart is cold and lacks conscience. "People" he measures the value of only one: useful or useless.
Obviously, the current positions of Nora and Holmes are swaying between the two, or they are leaning towards the former. They are too weak to pose a strong threat to him, so he spared their lives and chose to look down on them with great interest. Watching them struggle in the maze, shouting, and finally frustrated and hopeless because of failure, he can get great satisfaction from it.
"What do you think of this proposal, Holmes?" Moriarty raised the corners of his eyes slightly, "Come on, defeat my men——I can give Judy to you as a reward for the winner."
He used "send" instead of "return", which shows his disregard for other people's lives in his heart.She can guarantee that even Marianne and Colonel Moran, who have been loyal to him for many years, may only be a little bit higher than the homeless people who can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
But they couldn't refuse the offer—under the current simmering situation, they had no choice but to agree to such an almost insulting request.
"Who will come first?" Moriarty got the answer from their expressions. He stretched out his hand very happily and made an inviting gesture, "Then...ladies first?"
"..."
Nora took a deep breath and was about to speak when Holmes took a step forward and said loudly, "Of course I'm the first to do this kind of thing. How can a lady take the lead?"
"It couldn't be better." The smile on the corner of Moriarty's mouth deepened. He straightened his cuffs, and then stepped aside to make room for him. "Enjoy this wonderful performance, ladies."
Colonel Moran hooked the corners of his lips. He twisted his neck and made a crackling sound. He slowly rolled up his sleeves. The provocation and excitement were fully revealed in those dark brown and beast-like eyes.He came out, bowed politely to Holmes first, and then showed his snow-white teeth without concealment, as if biting the flesh and blood of his opponent, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Holmes."
"Oh, this is unfortunate for me," grumbled Holmes. He had to jump out of the window swiftly under the staring gaze of Moran, rolled up his cuffs with a sigh, and finally put down his hat cautiously and touched his nose. , said slowly, "So, where should we start?"
"Start... from here!" Moran dragged out his voice, but when Holmes began to concentrate on listening to his next sentence, he suddenly rushed over—his movements were so fast that almost no one else saw him. A black shadow, with five fingers like lightning, hooked into claws, directly hit Holmes' face!
"Oh!" The big detective exclaimed, he took a step back and avoided the blow with the same agility.Moran immediately turned to attack the part below his head—the neck. Holmes didn't dodge or evade. Speed, not wanting to be an inhumane man, Moran had no choice but to withdraw his hands and back away immediately with a sullen face, and then clasped his fingers together and split the head like Sherlock Holmes!
Nora watched the two wrestling without blinking. A faint scent of rosemary diffused behind her neck. She didn't turn her head when she heard Marian leaning close to her ear, with a soft and hoarse voice, towards her. Breathing out a breath of fragrance from the pit of his neck, he teased, "...you know you can't beat me, don't you, little girl? Just like your Sherlock Holmes can't beat Moran in the end?"
Nora smiled noncommittally, "Really? I doubt it very much."
Marianne's slender and cold fingers slowly touched her shoulders, the touch was like some kind of vicious snake, climbing inch by inch along her collarbone, it made people tremble suddenly, she exhaled like blue, The stone green eyeshadow made her squinted eyes even more glamorous and charming, as if she had turned into a demon, "I don't mind your quick tongue, but wait a little longer...you will taste my tricks, little sister... No more provocative words from your little red lips, you will cry, you will beg for mercy, you will kneel on your broken knees, begging me to let you go, but the truth is I never let anyone go Man, I will kill you with my own hands in front of Sherlock Holmes, and he is lying on the ground like a dog, watching it happen and doing nothing... Oh~ Just thinking about this image makes my whole bone shudder It's crispy and soft..."
Nora just smiled and said nothing.
"Are you scared?" Marianne limp on her body like a boneless animal, her red lips almost touching her ears, giggling, "I checked you, little Nora...you are really good, better than those There are a lot of stupid women who can only cry, but you have a smart mind, but you have never killed anyone... I have killed many people, good and bad, men, women, even old people and children... Oh, you know you can't compare with me, right? You are too soft-hearted, tsk tsk, only suitable to stay with such a clever but reckless commentator as Sherlock Holmes-of course, if you beg me now, I can Let that result come more happily, think about it, little girl—"
Nora turned her head, there was no fear in her emerald green eyes, only calm and deep, and a slight smile on the clear eyes.She stared at Marianne for a while, finally bent her eyes, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice, "Who told you... I haven't killed anyone?"
The Greek beauty was momentarily taken aback, but Nora straightened her body, turned her head, and concentrated on watching Holmes and Moran's fight, with a mask-like smile sticking to her side face.
Marianne narrowed her eyes.
And this time there will be no such good luck as last time that they could just wait for the police to rescue them from the fire and water.Since Moriarty appeared here, it must mean that Lestrade and the others will be dragged halfway by various accidents, and they can't make it here to make a timely rescue.
"Sandra," Moriarty smiled slightly. He leaned on a smooth mahogany cane, stood upright, and spoke in a gentle and decent tone, as if he was calling his old friend, "Put down the gun. Old friend." Let's meet, we should be more polite."
