Sure enough, Chen Ruoze came to the door within two days, and Christa believed that this was mainly due to her inadvertently telling Zheng Xingrou that she would return to London soon.

As soon as this unintentional remark came out, someone couldn't sit still and came to the door in a hurry.

Christa looked at the slightly restrained young man at the door, without any surprise, she nodded reservedly, "Wait a minute, let's go out and talk."

She turned around and put on her coat, and put on fluffy rabbit fur gloves, "Let's go, the next thing to talk about is not convenient at home. Go to the small restaurant in front and talk about it."

Chen Ruoze had complicated eyes, "Isn't your boyfriend with you? After all, I'm also... a rival in love?" He laughed at himself.

Krista buttoned her cuff buttons without any fuss, and even looked up at him with a leisurely smile, "I think it's easy to see—we've never been boyfriend and girlfriend. No couple Lovers get along just like we do."

Chen Ruoze was noncommittal.

She had a half-smile: "He's just interested in my secrets. Can you believe it, now as soon as we leave, he'll pick the lock on my room—of course, he'll restore everything to the way it was before I come back .”

One of the reasons why she and Sherlock were almost inseparable these days was because Sherlock would do anything to pry into her secrets if he got the chance.

Today is an excellent opportunity.When her grandparents are visiting a distant relative who isn't closely related by blood, Sherlock won't pass up the opportunity to go out again.

Although there are no secrets in her house.

And Jiang Li's room... If Sherlock could find out some secrets in her mother's room, she would probably be happier than Sherlock.

They are tacit to each other.She allowed Sherlock to search for secrets, in exchange for the tacit exchange that Sherlock would share the information he learned.

This is a tacit understanding that belongs to them alone. It does not require too much verbal discussion and entanglement, just a look.

Therefore, Sherlock is really a good choice as a partner.

When she had this thought, the little girl Christa automatically ignored the past that the two almost had a fight because Sherlock searched her room in London.

"Jiang..." He hesitated to address, "Miss Jiang, but there is no other pair of lovers who can understand and understand each other like you do."

He said with a smile, "Whether the lover's name exists has nothing to do with whether love comes or not."

Christa gave him a strange look, "I remember Xingrou said that you are in the next class, and the next door is a science class?"

"What's wrong with science?" Chen Ruoze walked side by side in the snow with her, the atmosphere between the two was relaxed, like friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, their tone was indifferent, "Love is the consensus of human beings, what does it have to do with liberal arts and science?"

"It's just that this kind of theory is heard more among poets and writers. It's rare to see people like you express such a point of view. For example, Sherlock... that's the Englishman. He probably only uses phenylethylamine to describe love. Think rationally." She tried to think about the scene, and then burst out laughing.

"This is a misunderstanding." Chen Ruoze turned a blind eye to her faux pas, and was still graceful, "A genius thinking like Mr. Holmes is naturally not the same as us."

"Perhaps." She had nothing to commend her in terms of interpersonal communication. She was only joking to relieve the atmosphere, and she didn't take this conversation seriously, so she just expressed an attitude of unclear meaning indifferently.

"But has Sherlock's reputation spread to China?"

Chen Ruoze was silent for a while, and then said: "I have logged in to Mr. Holmes' website and left a message on it, but unfortunately I didn't get a reply."

Christa's tone was still casual, "Is it because of your parents' death?"

Chen Ruoze stopped when he heard the words, and saw the girl smiling lightly, with a kind of insight into the world in her eyes, as if she had seen through all the plots and schemes.

On the contrary, he felt a lot more relaxed because of this. He looked at the girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, "Yes, it was the cause of my parents' death back then. In fact, not only my parents, but my uncle was also on top, and he couldn't be rescued. Star Rou’s real surname is also Chen, she should have been my cousin, my uncle’s daughter. After my uncle died, my aunt took her to remarry, so she changed her surname to Zheng later.”

Christa listened quietly, and waited for him to finish speaking before opening her mouth thoughtfully: "I remember your parents' car, it was the front one in the rear-end accident."

In other words, on the road at that time, if Chen Ruoze's parents braked suddenly on purpose, Jiang Li did not react and collided with the vehicle in front.In order to ensure the ending that Jiang Li would never survive, the vehicles behind deliberately bumped into each other and caused a series of car accidents.

If so, then this is not such a clever murder.

And now the situation is that all the circumstances point to this being an accident.Why did the extra fourth car get involved in the accident?Who the hell wants Jiang Li to die.And Jiang Yuebai was also in the car at the time, and if he made a mistake, Jiang Yuebai would die as a result—in fact, it was true, the real Jiang Yuebai was already dead, she was just a ghost floating from an unknown galaxy.

The fact that Jiang Yuebai was also in the car made her unable to determine Andre's suspicion.Jiang Yuebai is his biological daughter, judging from his relationship with this cheap father in the past few years, he has no reason for his daughter to die.Similarly, he and Jiang Li are considered to be happily married, and Christa couldn't think of a reason for him to kill Jiang Li.

Unless Andre's reason for killing Jiang Li and Jiang Yuebai has nothing to do with him.

But in this case, it involves more dangerous and hidden deeper reasons.

Rather than doing this, she would rather think that there was a mysterious mastermind who killed Jiang Yuebai and her daughter rather than Andre planning it all.

That was too embarrassing and cruel for a girl who died innocently.

Naturally, Chen Ruoze didn't know that she had so many thoughts flashing through her in a second, so she just affirmed her words.

"Yes, the police determined that my parents suddenly slammed on the brakes and caused the serial car accident."

Christa smiled suddenly, "Thirteen people were involved in this car accident, and six survived. In addition to my mother, your parents and uncle were among the dead. The three people in the car behind also collided with my mother Everyone died. I remember it was three young people who had no close relationship. The people in the last car were only injured. So should the car accident of the front three cars collide really kill so many people?"

"The people in the two cars that directly collided with your car died." Chen Ruoze murmured.

She ignored Chen Ruoze, but went on to say, "The car accident happened on the highway and involved four cars from all over the country. The family members of the deceased in two of the cars happened to go to the same middle school in the same county in the same city, and even Xingrou and I are still in the same class, it's really a coincidence that fate can't arrange. What is the reason why you came to this remote town?"

"Besides, my mother came back from abroad in a hurry. Why didn't she take a taxi and drive herself instead? My mother never bought a car, but the car was under her name when it was verified. Where did the car come from? "

"You see, that's why I've been reluctant to unravel the intricacies of the past."

"This is a chessboard laid by others. We are oppressed by fate to become pawns, and we are at the mercy of others without knowing it."

Chen Ruoze's face was pale.

"Now it's your turn. You have to come up with something of corresponding value to be worthy of me telling you so much." Christa tilted her head, her eyes were clear, but she looked very carefully.

***

After Christa left for a while, Sherlock, who had repeatedly confirmed in his heart, slowly walked into the room of Krista's grandparents.

Although a tacit agreement was reached, he didn't guarantee that he would only enter Krista and Jiang Li's room.

Christa dared to let him in, which meant that Sherlock's chances of finding any useful clues in her room were very slim.As for Jiang Li's room, there is no need to look for it. Krista, who can be found, has already looked for it. It is difficult to draw any new conclusions. It is better to change to a more reliable research object.

So Sherlock chose the room of Krista's grandparents as the object of observation.

This old but wise and thoughtful couple always gave him a feeling of disobedience.Of course, it doesn't mean that they pretend to be innocent when they are clearly guilty, but rather a sense of violation that is quite similar to Christa's, which is difficult to describe concretely.

The layout of the old man's room is very simple, with a bit of Chinese style, without too many decorations, only a family portrait on the bedside table.

In the photo, the two elderly people are smiling and separated. In the middle is the young Jiang Li and Andre. The smiles are full of happiness, and even a bit of love can be seen.Jiang Li was holding the newborn child in her arms, the child was innocent and ignorant, giggling and staring at the camera.That child was Jiang Yuebai when he was a child.

This is the first photo of Sherlock seeing Jiang Li. Unsurprisingly, the similarity between Jiang Li and Christa's eyebrows is not as similar as that of Charlotte and Christa.

But it is true and undeniable that the facial features of the mother and daughter are somewhat similar.

Except for this family portrait, Sherlock didn't see a few photos of Christa's childhood in this family, especially the period from the age of five to Jiang Li's car accident.

Christa was in Germany in those years, so it is not unreasonable to have no photos.But the strange thing is that Sherlock went to see it on purpose, and there were no photos and video records of this period in the German house.

It seems that this period of life has been deliberately blurred.

In addition to one more thing that confused him, when Andre came, Sherlock took his hair and Krista's for a genetic test.

The result made him a little unbelievable, almost overturning all his previous guesses.

- Relationships cannot be ruled out.

Just in case, Sherlock also asked three different authoritative institutions from all over the world to do tests, and the results of the three tests were all the same.

For some reason, Sherlock didn't rummage through everything, but simply searched for it.Everything is normal, normal to the extreme.

He glanced around, knowing that these seemingly completely normal situations were not that simple.If it's easy to spot what's wrong, how do you hide it from Krista?

Sherlock walked slowly along the wall to the window.

There are a few pots of green plants on the window sill, with luxuriant branches and leaves, even in winter.

Sherlock stared at these potted plants for a while, then slowly reached out and picked off a leaf.
