When Krista, a high school teacher, finished a long speech and stopped with dry mouth, Krista also stopped tapping the Morse code, and got up quickly and calmly: "I'm so disturbed today. , we will take our leave.”

She bowed her head lightly, and turned around quickly.

Sherlock could clearly see the look of impatience flashing across her face.

"If you are such a good teacher to my parents and me in the world, then I hope you will be a qualified teacher first."

Her words were cold and harsh, but her tone was still gentle and gentle, with a needle hidden in the cotton.

Sure enough, Christa is not a person who is so good-tempered that others offend her head and still be polite. She will probably just politely use the softest tone to choke you speechless.

Sherlock smiled silently, followed the girl's footsteps, and when he stepped out of the office door, he turned his head to the teacher with a distorted face and kindly reminded: "Madam, before you care about your education career, you'd better understand The whereabouts of your husband, oh, an enthusiastic young lady with long hair and good looks."

He spoke this passage in Chinese, perhaps due to lack of practical practice. His articulation is a bit strange, but it is undeniably pleasant to hear—at least it is no problem for people to understand.

No one cares about that teacher anymore. In the huge social network, you will always meet a few people who don't have any qualities you like, and they even surround you and chatter endlessly.

When Christa and Sherlock said goodbye, it was the end of get out of class time. The two walked slowly across the playground, and many students looked at them with what they thought were hidden eyes.

——After all, it is a rare mixed-race and foreigner in this school.It is only normal for a curious teenager to pay a little more attention to this.

Sherlock was looking for a topic, "That woman said you never got the first place in school?"

Christa's brain is much better than those mediocre goldfish. She is a genius, there is no doubt about it, but just like Charlotte, they all like not to show their outstanding side to others, and carefully Control your excellence within the range of a "normal person".

Although Sherlock felt that this approach was unnecessary.No matter how much he conceals his personality and IQ far beyond ordinary people, it is inevitable that some clues will be leaked.

"I don't have any obsession with being number one. What do I want to be number one? Do I accept the teacher's earnest care and teaching every day?" Krystal's attitude is contemptuous, "It's just a useless title."

"Maybe it will please your grandparents?" Sherlock joked.

"Maybe." Christa was noncommittal. She just woke up from nothingness and became "Jiang Yuebai". When she was not very sophisticated, she asked her grandparents what they expected her to do, and the answer she got was no. It's brilliant, as long as she's happy.

…So Christa, who didn’t know anything, made a “Jiang Yuebai” that was between excellent and ordinary according to their good expectations, and could occasionally be called an excellent “Jiang Yuebai”.But Christa, who has a strong learning ability, quickly realized that "beautiful expectations" should be called "minimum requirements" more appropriately.

Krista: It was so embarrassing.

The life of "Jiang Yuebai" who has been on the established track cannot suddenly become dazzling like a genius, and she doesn't like the title of "genius" very much, so Krista decided to pretend that she didn't know anything, Let nature take its course.

It wasn't until she went to London to meet the extraordinary Sherlock that Christa gradually began to show her different side from ordinary girls of her age.

Maybe it's because she is no longer a young girl of seventeen or eighteen?She was about this age when she died in the previous life, plus the few years in this life, she was probably... about the same age as Sherlock?

Christa thought for a while and thought about how someone of her own age still pretended to be innocent with a naive face...

...It's a good thing Sherlock doesn't know anything.

She thought happily.

"I never imagined that you had such a peaceful campus life." Sherlock ignored those curious or probing gazes on him, and had a feeling for Christa's youth that he didn't know and had never personally participated in. of great interest.

The girl smiled, and her teasing meaning was clear, "Detective, not everyone's student days were as magnificent and exciting as yours, and most of them had a similar ordinary life."

"You are different."

"What's the difference?" She seemed to think this point of view was a bit ridiculous, and she couldn't help laughing as she spoke, "Ah... I'm a little different. I have experienced complicated family changes at my age. Stimulating. That's why I prefer a quieter life."

"When we first met, you said that I was more adventurous and I was the same person as you." She smiled and shook her head, "But it's actually different."

She didn't go on to say what was different. For people like them who are good at analyzing and observing, there is no need to say these reasons.

Sherlock knew what she meant by being different. Holmes liked to fill his life with exciting challenges and adventures. Christa was curious about these challenges, but she didn't want the so-called excitement to seep into her calm In life, she just likes to be a bystander, watching the joys and sorrows of life and death of others with cold eyes.

Isn't this another kind of arrogance?

He thought sarcastically, subconsciously observing his surroundings, and unexpectedly landed on the bulletin board on the left side of the playground.

To be more precise, it is the photo of Krista on the bulletin board.

She is a little younger than the current Krista, and still has a bit of childlike childishness, but her eyes are exactly the same as the current Krista, indifferent and indifferent hidden under the half-smiling eyes.

He glanced at the time at the bottom of the photo. It was probably taken not long after Krista entered high school. It was a commendation from an art festival, and it hadn't been replaced for some reason.

Christa also saw this photo, and was a little surprised, "It hasn't been taken down yet. Probably because there haven't been any art festivals or other activities in the past few years, so it hasn't been changed."

Sherlock doesn't care about these, staring at the photo for a long time, Christa, who has always been sensitive to his behavior, immediately realized that something was wrong, her eyes wandered between Sherlock and her photo, but this is indeed just a very ordinary picture. photos.What did Sherlock think of?What would she, the client, not know?

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my photo?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel that you, Jiang Li and Andre are not very similar in appearance.... When you were young, you looked a little bit." Sherlock looked away, and Krista should be around 15 years old when she took this photo , but the 15-year-old Christa's childish appearance surprised Sherlock a little-it is easier to believe that she is a child of twelve or thirteen years old.

Stunting?Or would the mixed race result in a more childish look?

Sherlock's mind started to spin.

"It was really similar when I was young. A little bit more like my mother." Christa remembered the photos of "Jiang Yuebai" she had seen when she was a child. will have.

At that time, Jiang Li and Andre hadn't had a fierce quarrel yet.

For "Jiang Yuebai", all she has in her short life is her parents who love her forever.This is the only bit of luck that is unfortunate.

her parents...

She got all the feelings that her father poured into, but unfortunately they were all suppressed, twisted, and dark.And the affection from her mother is pitiful, but it is the only warmth in her childhood.

Her mother is not a person who can love. When she was created, she was not endowed with the ability to love. What was given to her was already all.

Without that bit of "love", she would never have lived to know Jiang Qile.

Sometimes she would even envy Jiang Yuebai, at least when Jiang Yuebai was alive, all he got was true love and warmth, even if there might be something terrible hidden behind it, what does it matter if he doesn't know the truth until he dies?

Compared with someone like her, I don't know who is more sad.

Sherlock has no objection to Christa's words, and no one would doubt the relationship between "Jiang Yuebai" and Jiang Li when they were young.

That proves that "Jiang Yuebai" really existed, but where did she go?

There is a certain opportunity to exchange the identities of Christa and "Jiang Yuebai".

...It was the car accident where Jiang Li died!

Did "Jiang Yuebai" and Jiang Li die together in that car accident?

That car accident.

Sherlock was sure that it was not only Jiang Li's plan, Andre and Cecil's intervention, but also another party.

That is the overall controller.Andre is a pawn on the bright side, Cecil is a cover-up, and only an unknown third party is the planner and the beneficiary.

So, Sherlock asked: "You and your mother had a good relationship, right? When will you go to the cemetery to mourn your mother?"

It's a very non-level cliché, and it doesn't require any level.

Christa also knows this well, and is very dissatisfied with Sherlock's perfunctory.Why can you show off the level of an Oscar winner when you talk to others, or the exclusive interrogation skills of an excellent detective, but when you come to her, the level of interrogation is about the same as that of elementary school students? !!

This is so disrespectful to her!

Sherlock could see the obvious doubts and childish dissatisfaction written in her eyes, and responded friendlyly: "It's not necessary for you, we are the same people, and we don't need these little tricks."

Krista didn't realize that this sentence was more like some kind of secret declaration than explanation.

"...Thank you for your high opinion of me." In fact, she still felt that Sherlock just didn't want to spend more time. After all, she was always cooperative and honest with Sherlock's interrogation, and she was not worthy of the "ruthless" great detective.

She was embarrassed by these adjectives for a second, and then forgot them.

At the same time, she had completely forgotten what a complicated puzzle she had presented Sherlock in the first place, and she hadn't cooperated in solving it.

"Do you want to pay homage to my mother?" Krista wasn't quite sure what Sherlock wanted to do, but that didn't prevent her from being sure that what Sherlock was going to do had something to do with her mother.

"When can I go?" the detective asked very well.

"...tomorrow." She mused slightly, "I'm going back to London in a few days, this matter should be done as early as possible."

Moreover, she may not be able to return from London smoothly in July this year, so it might be a good idea to worship in advance.

Her premonitions were always right, something was waiting for her in London.

very important stuff.

"What should I pay attention to? Pay homage to your mother?" Sherlock has never visited the cemetery, but the soul after death deserves more respect.Even if it's just a useless goldfish when alive.So he asked this sentence.

"Bring a bunch of flowers, my mother likes white roses." She struggled for a while, "As long as you don't dig up my mother's grave, other things... don't need special attention."

This is a very sincere reminder.

She couldn't be sure of Sherlock's purpose.Christa vaguely sensed the purpose of his coming to China, but she did not analyze it carefully. The instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages also made her resist thinking about it.He suddenly mentioned Jiang Li, it must have something to do with his purpose.

As for digging up the tombstone, Sherlock really can't do it.

"I wouldn't do it."

he assured.

"If you do this, you won't be able to return to England alive." Christa smiled half-smile, "Speaking of returning to London, how are your documents handled?"

The author has something to say: ...Jinjiang smoked a bit, and something to say was dropped.Originally, there was a little explanation, so let’s talk about it later when I have time.
