Christa watched Sherlock close the message page with a cold face.She couldn't help teasing: "What did McCoff say to make you so angry?"

There is no one else who can make Sherlock show such an expression, except that other Sherlock Holmes who is far away in London!

Obviously, the little girl Christa didn't realize what a good thing she had just done.

Sherlock glanced at her incredulously.

The ignorant little girl paused while holding the ladle, her slightly raised eyes gleamed with an innocent look.

"what happened?"

Sherlock replied honestly: "Nothing. Mycroft said you made me cry."

His tone was flat and calm, completely unaware of how easy it is for people to think about it.

"Push!"

A layer of oil stains splashed in the soup pot, splashing everywhere, and there were still small ripples in the red soup pot.

——It was Christa who dropped the long chopsticks for the food into it.

After hastily picking up the chopsticks with a spoon, she smiled apologetically at Sherlock, "I just... just didn't realize it. Since McCoff said so, I won't take you to eat these things from now on .”

Sherlock felt that she might want to say more - I won't go out to dinner with you after that.

However, Holmes' rationality allowed him to restrain himself from refuting Christa's insincere words.

"OK~OK~ Let's get back to the topic." Christa made a stop gesture, thinking of what message she had sent to McCoff, she couldn't help but off topic with a guilty conscience.

Sherlock is kind and generous: "What are you going to do about Jiang Li?"

She tilted her head and took a bite of the meatball. The soft, glutinous taste eroded her taste buds, and said after deliberating, "You know that feelings are always the most complicated thing."

She did not hide her neglect of the truth about Jiang Li's death, and in front of Sherlock, all pretense was unnecessary.She is not the real Jiang Yuebai, and she has never been with Jiang Li before, so she can't empathize with her. It can almost be said that she can find the truth with all her heart, which is the biggest compromise.

Sherlock pondered for a moment, "Andre." His tone was affirmative.

Christa nodded, "Well. My father was the best breakthrough point in the whole thing. Before my mother died, their relationship had not yet completely broken down. Death and time continued to beautify the memory, and the thin feelings continued to deepen. .No matter how much of my mother’s passionate feelings remained before my mother’s death, my father must be ‘deeply in love’ with my mother in memory now.”

"My judgment on the car accident tends not to be directly related to my father. In short, my father probably thinks it was just an accident. So I am going to tell my poor father the truth about the car accident."

When she said these calculating words, she still had a smiling and innocent expression, and her tone was like gossip.

"My father and Andre must have some kind of unknown relationship. At the very least, they have common interests. The relationship between interests is always fragile. And the truth of my mother's death will become a knife that cuts off the relationship between them. The knife of the rope of interest."

Sherlock: "They may not turn against your mother."

Krista brushed away the prickly ash on the hairy belly slice, with a lazy expression, but every word was as sharp as a knife.

"Whether they turn against each other or not is not the point. The important thing is that the news of my mother's death spread to my father and Cecil unexpectedly, which will definitely disrupt their original plan. Even if my father doesn't care, Cecil will think so Is it? If he was so sure, my father wouldn't be kept in the dark now."

"The cooperation between Cecil and my father will not be a trivial matter. A huge, complete and rigorous plan like this will almost affect the whole body. So... once the plan in the dark changes, the people who are forced to surface That day is not far away."

Sherlock's high-speed brain quickly processed the text information, "You want to use Jiang Li's death to provoke conflicts between Andre and Cecil, which will cause intuitive problems in their cooperation. Then we didn't know before The cooperation plan between Cecil and Andre will have to be exposed because of these contradictions."

"Very correct." She snapped her fingers, "Do you think I've gone too far? After all... those are my parents."

When she said this, she suddenly laughed softly for some reason.

Sherlock didn't know what she was laughing at, but a suspicion vaguely emerged in his heart-maybe it had something to do with Krista's biological parents.

At this point, combined with the information he got from Mrs. Zheng, he can safely conclude that Christa will not be "Jiang Yuebai".But there are still many things that he hasn't thought through yet.

The Charlotte recorded in the McCoff file and mentioned by Mrs. Zheng is Christa's biological mother by blood.He can be sure of that.

It's just that Charlotte and Andre have no relationship at all. Before Andre and Jiang Li fell in love, Charlotte had disappeared.

Furthermore, Christa is obviously of mixed blood, and it is impossible for her to be born of two Caucasians, which rules out the possibility that Andre and Charlotte are related to Christa at the same time.The mother-daughter relationship between Charlotte and Christa should be correct, but the relationship report between Andre and Christa is clearly there.

And, most importantly...how did Christa become "Jiang Yuebai"?

The intricate entanglements hidden behind this made Sherlock realize that Jiang Li's death covered up a truth that was even more confusing than the results of their current investigation.

Did the dead Jiang Li know about all this?Does Andre know?How much did Christa know herself?

Mrs. Zheng's soft words still echoed in her ears.

"Charlotte and Ali are very good friends. They are both geniuses, and there is always an inexplicable, unspeakable mysterious connection between geniuses."

"If A Li is only a talented person in art, barely enough to qualify as a genius, then Charlotte is the kind of true genius that may not appear in a century."

"She has a keen perception of numbers and geometry, and she was able to prove mathematical theories independently as early as childhood. ... I have never seen her use scratch paper for her math homework. Of course, her talent is not only manifested in In terms of mathematics, she is also proficient in all aspects of literature, art, music, philosophy, etc. Ordinary people may spend their entire lives unable to reach the level that she can achieve with just casual research."

"I'm not telling the truth, am I? Because it's really hard for me to describe her talent. But she doesn't pay enough attention to everything - which makes it impossible for me to cite some achievements to prove my words. When she was in college, I never study any advanced theories, and I seldom attend the courses of my major. Occasionally, I write homework——A Li and I sometimes encounter a few math problems that make people feel helpless. She has always been the number one, and continues Until she drops out of school."

"A Li told me about this. At that time, I had already returned to China. I don't know why she dropped out of school, and I don't know where she went after that. Neither did A Li. It was like disappearing from the world."

"If you still want to know more, it might be better for you to go to Cambridge and ask. After all, I don't know Charlotte well. There is always an insurmountable gap between geniuses and ordinary people like us."

"By the way. A Li and I mentioned that Charlotte is an avid Chinese lover. They also discussed to give their children similar names. That's when Yuebai's name was decided. Yuebai is A Chinese color name that Charlotte likes very much, and A Li also gave Charlotte's daughter a name - Fei with her favorite color name."

"But this name probably won't be used. People like Charlotte won't be bound by family, marriage and children."

……

As a qualified detective, Sherlock can extract the core information from Madam Zheng's aimless words.This information is of great help in uncovering the mysterious truth represented by the name "Krista".

The reason why he wants to know the truth now is not just because of curiosity.

Only when the truth is revealed, will Christa have a chance to break free from the cobwebs that bound her in the past and regain her freedom.

Yes, freedom.

Perhaps unaware of it herself, Krista has been striving to break free and pursue a future free from the shackles of the past.

If Krista ultimately fails to gain and master the freedom she desires—

Well, it's up to him to give it to her.
