[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

"Red, Emily." After seeing Sherlock dancing and dancing, Hodge stood up, called the two and looked back at Sherlock, "Mr. Holmes, please follow them to the reception room next door. They will first We will tell you about our current progress, and we will discuss future actions together.”

Sherlock nodded, and glanced at Rhett and Emily who walked in front of them.As soon as he turned around and followed them a few steps forward, he turned his head and looked at Hodge, "Agent Hochner, since your group of people has a very different style of doing things from mine, and you don't seem to welcome anyone joining suddenly. So I was thinking, maybe we..."

Hodge raised his eyebrows helplessly, and told him directly, "We are going to meet a woman who escaped from this group in a while, and we don't want to distract you. It's just because the other party is more sensitive at this time, and your personality It's not a good idea to talk to her in person, so we'll pass on what we hear to you later."

"Oh...that's really interesting," Sherlock's eyes were filled with brilliance, and he moved his head happily.With a short glance at Morgan, Hodge suddenly remembered something and said cheerfully, "Oh! He was talking about your girlfriend?"

Morgan: "..."

Just when Sherlock was about to open his mouth and wanted to say something, Emily behind him quickly stepped forward and reminded him with a sincere face, "Mr. Holmes, you don't know what her experience has done to her life for more than 20 years. You don’t know how determined she is to be honest with us, and you don’t know how hard each of her friends and relatives here will be to accept the facts that are about to be heard.”

Her voice was not heavy, and there was some regret in her eyes.Sherlock licked his lips, and his eyelashes fluttered a few times. He thought of Watson for a moment, and then heard her say: "If you understand even a little bit of it, even if you are straightforward by nature and have an unusual obsession with crime, you won't Still just focus on the case itself."

Sherlock looked at her, thinking for a moment.After standing on tiptoe a few times, he quickly stood up straight, moved his lips around the conference table, and finally said softly, "I'm sorry...I'll try to restrain myself..."

"That's good," Emily nodded seeing that he should have figured it out.When she was about to walk out, Shirley, who had been standing outside the door, walked in first, "It's okay..."

"Sher?" Morgan stood up puzzled, watched her walk to the conference table, and heard her say with some difficulty but still with certainty: "If Mr. Sherlock Holmes can help, you don't have to worry about me, it's better to save time Let's talk together."

Hodge frowned worriedly and asked, "Are you sure?"

Seeing Shirley nodding her head heavily, Sherlock changed his depressed attitude just now.With uncontrollable excitement, he pulled a chair and signaled Shirley to sit down, and he stared at her for a long time before turning around under Morgan's gaze, and looked around everyone, "See? She didn't It’s as vulnerable as you can imagine.”

Emily: "..."

Hodge raised his eyebrows helplessly, glanced at Rhett and Emily, and motioned for them to return to their seats and sit down, "Then let's start directly."

"Okay." Seeing that Rhett and Emily were already in their seats, Shirley nodded and was about to speak when Sherlock was still standing close to her, pursing her lips and pointing to the chair behind him, "Mr. You can sit down first."

"Oh, yes, you're right..." Sherlock turned around hastily, quickly dragged a chair and sat down, his curious eyes were still staring at her, "I sat down."

"..." Shirley stepped back and glanced at Sherlock, feeling Morgan holding her hand, and holding his hand instead and looking at him, "I'm fine."

Morgan looked at her worriedly, nodded, and then heard her say, "I was taken away..."

"Wait." Sherlock stopped her and reminded: "You haven't said how you were kidnapped?"

Shirley had no choice but to change her words, and told the story of the night she was tied up, and then saw him laughing and said: "Although your sister was a six-year-old child at the time, not all six-year-old children are so stupid that they can do things casually." Open the door to let the bad guys in, at least not when I was six."

jj: "..."

Reid thought of something, looked at JJ: "He is right, not every child will open the door because they heard the baby crying. Considering that the kidnappers know that your parents are not at home, their people must follow and even contact you. You guys. He's pretty sure this method will get you the door, so what do you guys remember?"

Shirley and JJ thought for a while, then shook their heads in unison.

Hodge asked, "What about after that?"

Shirley: "When I woke up again, I found myself in a very chic bedroom. The lights were bright but there were no windows or doors to open. I wasn't particularly scared at the time, I just walked around a little nervously There is a table and chairs, a shoe rack full of shoes, and clothes in the closet. The bed is also made, and there is a... doll leaning on it."

Sherlock didn't make a sound this time, but Morgan asked, "Amanda?"

Shirley nodded, "I didn't find anyone after looking around, so I asked tentatively. Then it came to me and told me it was Amanda."

Sherlock sat upright, raised his hand to his chin, and heard Rosie ask, "What does it look like?"

Shirley: "Blonde hair, brown eyes... a very ordinary Barbie doll. Its limbs can be stretched, it can walk around at will, it can blink, and it can lower its head and raise its head. I think it must have been modified privately."

"Robot technology at that time was not as common as it is now. I can ask Garcia to look into this aspect later." Hodge nodded and motioned Shirley to continue.

"I've never seen a talking and walking doll. It scared me a little at the time. But it was very friendly and caring. It noticed that I would stop in place when I backed away in fear. Its eyes drooped at the time, The tone is a bit sad, saying that I have been alone and very lonely...ask me if I can be friends with it." Speaking of this, Shirley couldn't help but smiled bitterly, "I... didn't believe it at first. But it calls me Alice, and it tells me stories every day, and gets out of a small hole that only it can pass through to get me new living utensils and food... I really thought I had come to a world where dolls could talk , and I completely treat it as my friend...!"

Xue Li was a little agitated, she raised her hand to rest on her forehead and stopped, "I'm so stupid that I can..."

Morgan stroked her shoulder distressedly, and the others couldn't help but feel a little sad, and then heard Sherlock tentatively say with a little emotion: "I... can understand your state of mind at that time."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, and saw that he put his hand on his chin and leaned back on the handle of the chair, "Jim Moriarty, he tricked me into taking him to court and asking me to take him to court." There is no evidence to convict him. Then he disguised himself as me and plotted a murder so that the little girl thought I was the one who killed him. Finally he changed his identity and made all of London suspect that everything about him was just me Fabricated out of thin air..."

Looking at the hidden sympathy in everyone's eyes, Sherlock felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.He smiled unconsciously, looking a little heartless, but he had to continue, "For a moment, I almost thought that everything about him was just my imagination..."

Seeing that their expressions were quite serious, Sherlock restrained himself a little, and looked at Shirley with curled lips, "But I have friends by my side... So, it's actually normal for you to think that way."

Shirley froze for a moment, then smiled at him, "Thank you."

Sherlock opened his mouth and finally replied, "You're welcome."

Everyone withdrew their attention from Sherlock, and Rhett mentioned: "This is actually equivalent to unknowingly obliterating your original understanding of the world, and it may also overthrow your previous knowledge to some extent." Thoughts. How long did it last before you woke up, and what did it do in the meantime?"

"A year and a half..." Shirley, whom Rhett said, never realized it, and replied while thinking: "During this time, it spent most of its time teaching me and telling me stories..."

Rhett frowned, and asked again, "What type of story?"

"Oh my God..." Shirley couldn't help frowning, and while thinking about it, she summed up her answer: "Stories like "How Steel Was Tempered", "If You Give Me Three Days of Light"..."

Rhett nodded knowingly, "It's trying to cultivate your forbearing and persistent character..."

JJ, who had been holding his arms all the time, said indignantly, "And this just laid the foundation for you to strictly keep your word after you escape..."

Shirley held her head in confusion, feeling her mind was in a mess.There was a sense of powerlessness that the world view was gradually disintegrating, and he lowered his head helplessly and shook it back and forth twice.Feeling the strength of being clenched, he turned his head to look at Morgan, and before he could speak, he heard him say: "You are no longer that little girl, you are yourself, and you are the one who made up your mind to solve the matter instead of being judged by others." Whatever anyone thinks. Just keep that in mind, no matter what you think, okay?"

Shirley couldn't listen to him at all, looked at him dully, and asked repeatedly: "Who am I? Shirley Davis? Rosalind Jieruo?"

"Shel..." Seeing her emotional ups and downs, Morgan moved his hands to comfort her worriedly, "If you feel tired, we can take a rest."

Shirley nodded heavily, and suddenly laughed as if she had figured something out, "I'm nobody! I'm just a doll that was kidnapped and waiting to be sold to my employer! I..."

When she regained her senses, she turned her head and saw JJ with her head down and tears and Beth with red eyes, covered her mouth sadly and stood up, "I'm sorry...I, I want to be alone."

Hodge nodded quickly and saw her running out quickly, and Morgan glanced at Hodge and followed closely.

The two left one after another, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was obviously too depressing.But Sherlock couldn't help sighing "Oh", and when he was about to say something, he saw Hodge staring at him straightly, pursed his lips and said: "Actually, I want to say, if we continue in the future .She needs a doctor, a psychiatrist."

After hearing what he said, Hodge moved his mouth and didn't say anything, and then he raised his hand and touched his neck and said, "Lauren Baiss, they are friends. I remember Lauren said that she was just for one day to show up This kind of situation can only learn psychology, and I think she should trust Lauren."

Hodge licked his lips and looked at Beth, "Can you?"

Beth touched the tip of her nose with her hand and nodded, "He's right."
