Melting snow is a sign of spring.

"Did you visit the teacher this year?" When Mrs. Jiang brought up this topic, Christa's hand holding the fruit plate froze, "Ah——I went this afternoon. The school starts today, and today is more appropriate."

Krista emphasized the start of school three times in a row, and Sherlock didn't need to think much to know that she must have forgotten to visit the teacher.

"So which teacher is it?" Sherlock looked at her several times, and made a judgment slowly: "School starts today—high school, your grandmother deliberately reminded you that you don't care about it yourself. High school class teacher?"

"Ah..." She acquiesced to Sherlock's speculation, "I don't like that teacher, but both my grandmother and the teacher feel that... she saved me."

What he said was actually extremely subtle, and Sherlock guessed that Christa's attitude towards that teacher was more than just dislike.Especially when she said the word "redemption", there was a consistent irony in her rising tone.

"Your grandmother is not unreasonable." Sherlock has been deeply aware of the vengeful side of Christa's nature, and it is hard to imagine that she would tolerate others stepping on her.As for Christa's grandmother, as long as it doesn't involve the issue of her granddaughter and the British running away, she is very open-minded in other small matters.The reason for Christa not to clarify the truth to Mrs. Jiang... only Christa herself was unwilling.

Christa still had a lazy expression, "It's not necessary. It will always give them a little comfort to let them find a reason why I have been redeemed from the past. If they don't, they will imagine that I am addicted I can't extricate myself from the pain in the past. There is such a reason, which saves me a lot of explaining effort. It's just that the follow-up processing is a little troublesome."

"As for that teacher's behavior, after all, I can tolerate it. After all, it's just a passer-by in life."

"Your past is different from what I thought at first." Sherlock said suddenly after hearing her explanation.

Krista's lazily narrowed eyes opened a little, and she became interested, "Detective, what did you think my past was like at first? Lonely? Or happy?"

"You are a person with a strong sense of autonomy." The detective picked out a few key words, "The caution, suspicion, suspicion and fear of human nature are all reflected in you, but you have put your mind into it. Hide this very deeply. In my guess, your past is a little bit more miserable than what you have experienced now. Well, it should be completely different from your past as I see it."

"You should live in a closed, isolated environment, but that doesn't mean you don't have people around you, it's just that they can't get your trust because they have some kind of malice towards you. Someone got your trust , a very small number of people... But you are actually very resistant to contact with people... The people you trust leave you, and you are caught off guard. Your occasional small movements will reveal that you are a natural superior, surrounded by you Those people around you, are they afraid of you?"

Christa has fully opened her eyes, sharp and indifferent, and there is a flash of so fast that Sherlock thinks it is an illusion, cruelty that does not belong to humans.

Judging from Christa's reaction, his guess was completely correct.

Christa is Charlotte's daughter, what happened after her disappearance, would she have such a daughter?Why didn't Charlotte stay with this daughter?Even Christa's attitude towards her parents is very strange, it is not the influence of Jiang Li and Andre, but Charlotte and another unknown gentleman.

Mrs. Zheng said that Charlotte is a rare genius once in a century. Although this may be an exaggeration for a goldfish who has never seen a genius, it undoubtedly proves that Charlotte is a goldfish with a high IQ.What accident had happened to compel a wise man to abandon his daughter?

In this chaotic and complicated relationship, what kind of role does the "father" who has no news so far play?

In the blink of an eye, Sherlock suddenly remembered a joke-like remark that Christa had casually downplayed in a certain chat - "My father killed me."

He carefully recalled Krista's movements, demeanor and subtle body language at that time, and determined that it was not a joke.

For the first time in his life, the detective who thought he was cold-hearted and didn't have any cumbersome goldfish-like emotions felt his heart throbbing.

——Not a physical feeling, but a sudden empathy.Unknown to anyone, the sudden resonance with the unknown girl who was abandoned by her parents many years ago.

The detective turned his head and looked at the still unconscious girl, his teeth itching with hatred.

to finish.

he thinks.

Sherlock has always been impeccable in reasoning, and there is nothing wrong with her past confession this time, but Christa doesn't like this feeling.

Why bring it up again?Those pasts that she took time to bury with great difficulty, those scars that would be bloody and unhealed once they were uncovered, how could you not realize that you are so smart?Then why bring it up!

It's not that she doesn't understand that her anger is unreasonable, but she suddenly doesn't know what to do.Such absurd thoughts flashed through my mind and were immediately suppressed.

"Dear Mr. Holmes, you may consider writing novels like Cecil. Your works will definitely be among the best-selling books of the year. In terms of the absurdity of the stories, no one can surpass you!"

After saying this, Christa realized that her malice had not been suppressed.

She bit her lower lip, wondering if it was time to apologize now.If she doesn't apologize, it's obviously her fault; if she apologizes, it's too obvious.

Before she had time to think about it, the detective took a step back.

"I don't think so. My 240 three methods of distinguishing soot have not been favored by a publishing house." Sherlock got up, "Aren't you going to see your teacher? Go now?"

"Yes." She nodded, accepted his kindness, pretended that the episode just now had never happened, and even asked Sherlock to take the present with confidence.

After seeing this teacher, Sherlock fully understood why Christa didn't like this teacher.

It was a condescending attitude, pointing fingers at Krista as a former teacher, and talking to Krista about philosophy of life and all kinds of things in earnest.

"What's the use of the art your mother learned? Didn't she get rid of the misfortune of marriage? Like a teacher, although she can't draw..."

"... Eleven out of ten artists are lunatics."

"I didn't expect you to repay your kindness when I gave you a hand. As long as you can live your life well and remember the teacher occasionally."

"But ah, the most important thing in life is to know how to repay you..."

"... Even if you learn the violin now, it won't be of much use. As a girl, the most important thing is to get married." And so on.

Sherlock looked at Christa's smiling expression, nodding from time to time in agreement, with no mistakes in his gestures.But her eyes were wandering, obviously she didn't hear a word.

The girl's slender knuckles were idly tapping the Morse code on the table.

"Today, I told my grandma how about eating stewed chicken with mushrooms?"

No one is in the mood to listen to these boring and absurd goldfish remarks.

So why did Krista put up with this foolish goldfish nagging around her for so long? !

Christa has been too pitiful these past few years!

Sherlock responded calmly, "There are no mushrooms at home."

……

The teacher didn't notice their small movements and was still expressing his views.

Even when she saw that Christa brought a foreigner here, and the way she got along seemed to be very intimate, she was immediately surprised.

How can girls be so frivolous!

She needs to remind Jiang Yuebai.

"Girls, you should be cautious when dating. Girls must love themselves, and don't date anyone casually. Yuebai, don't just find foreigners like your mother in the future. What's so good about foreigners of……"

Seeing that Sherlock hadn't responded, she thought he couldn't understand Chinese, so she spoke more brazenly.

She couldn't understand Chinese. Sherlock looked away. Sure enough, it was wise for Christa not to like this teacher.
