Sherlock looked at her watch, she flipped through today's newspaper, and it had been a month since Dior's plane crashed. The chances of being rescued from an air crash are extremely low, and the only thing that can be done is to wait for a miracle to happen with small expectations, and neither Britain nor the Ming Empire can waste too many resources in the Pacific Ocean for one person. And today, the rescue team's operation is over.

If Dio was still adrift on the sea, it would be almost impossible for her to be rescued.

After arriving in the United States with Wakatsuki, Sherlock left Washington without saying hello, and she traveled all the way to the west coast of the United States, where she inquired about news related to Dior. By the time she reached the West Coast, she had finally found some useful information.

"The ghost of the opera?" Sherlock frowned as he looked at the news in the newspaper.

It wasn't that she was not interested in the case, but that she saw the photo of the play's main character, a rookie actor named Christina. Although the black-and-white photo is a little blurry, the person in the photo can still be seen clearly, and Sherlock's heart can't help but tighten. The person in the photo is the "Dior Connor" she remembers.

How is this possible? Sherlock frowned, and immediately prepared to leave for San Francisco.

She didn't think that the person in the photo was Dior, but she was sure that if Dior saw the photo, he would undoubtedly rush over without stopping.

If Dior were here, it wouldn't be a problem to contact the Hunters' Department. But the truth is that she has never contacted anyone, nor has she tried to contact the Ming Empire.

Ruling out the fact that she is already dead, if she is reluctant to show up, it is that she wants to use her "disappearance" to do something.

On top of that, John Connor, the current ruler of the Skull and Bones Society, has a great relationship with Dio Connor. Sherlock told himself more than once that John Connor was not an irrational man, and that even if Dio said he wanted his help, he would not say anything.

But Sherlock was still a little uneasy, and it was impossible for Dior not to see the international situation. Britain gradually favored the United States, the Ming Empire still maintained an attitude of ignoring disputes, and the Soviet Union invaded Europe on a large scale, and if Dio did meet with the Skull Society, the war would be out of control.

In order to repel the invading German army, "Cortana" and "Carlibar" will inevitably set sail, and the target will be Germany itself nine times out of ten. Britain did not sign any nuclear weapons treaty, and Germany was not the only one that suffered.

Perhaps, Dior's plane crash itself was also planned by the Ming Empire or the Soviet Union.

After a long journey, Sherlock finally arrived in San Francisco.

San Francisco is a city developed in the gold rush, many people became rich overnight here, the origin of the name of San Francisco is a large number of people who also came here to pan for gold and lived here in the Ming Empire. After the gold rush passed, the bubble-like economy quickly collapsed, and the number of Ming people here was huge, which also attracted the 'hatred' of the locals. But the power of the triad is deeply entrenched here, and even the order of California can't let these foreign 'land snakes' move their nests.

The opera house is rightfully just a pastime for the wealthy who emigrated from England, and unfortunately very few people in the United States come to the opera these days.

The opera house, which was also funded by the British, unexpectedly gained a foothold in this impetuous land.

When Sherlock arrives at the opera house, there is a poster of Faust standing outside the gate. The operators of the opera house did not care about the threat of the "ghost of the opera" and still did not let Cristina play the leading role, and the actor on the poster was also a different person.

Perhaps because of the 'Ghost of the Opera House', there are incredibly many tourists around, most of whom are coming to San Francisco from the railroad construction.

Sherlock lit a cigarette and was about to gather some information, but she noticed the movement in the alley next to her, and she didn't think much of it, and walked towards it with her cane.

"Well, if you want money, I can give it all to you, and it's not easy for you to do crimes, right? ”

"Hey, little girl, you should be unlucky, someone asked me to teach you a lesson, money is not important. ”

"You see, if you give my wallet to that person, that person will also think that I have learned a lesson, and you don't have to risk your life, and you can make a small profit, isn't that a good deal?

In the alley, three men surrounded a black-haired girl, who didn't look like she had been found fault with at all, and was smiling and talking to several men.

Sherlock, who wanted to help, turned sideways and leaned against the side of the alley when she saw this, and she suddenly became interested in the dark-haired girl.

"Hmm..."

The man seemed to be really moved, and he looked at his companion hesitantly. But he couldn't get any confidence from his companion, and then he shrugged helplessly.

"Honestly, we don't have to deal with you."

"It's great that you understand. ”

The girl quickly took out her wallet, took out her ID card, and handed the wallet to the man without saying a word.

"Uh, isn't it possible that we're just leaving?" the man took his wallet, looking a little confused.

"You see, you've got the money, you've got the evidence of 'teaching me a lesson', and your friends don't have to worry about it, I've lost my wallet because of this, and I'll be sad for a while, and you'll be able to be chic for a while. ”

"Hey, girl, I'm suddenly a little bit like you, what's your name?"

"Yuebai, you can call me that. ”

"I'll take the wallet, I'm going to send an explanation, keep half of the money for you, let's go! ”

"Jeff, is that really it?"

"What else? The woman wants me to do this, who the knows if we'll see each other in the future, there's no need to do anything for her. ”

The three men strode away from him, and Sherlock narrowed his eyes as he watched them leave before a sigh was heard. Sherlock then turned and walked into the alley, confronting the dark-haired girl.

Seeing another person appear in front of the alley, the girl who had just put her mind at ease became nervous again, she was so frightened that she took a step back, and only after seeing Sherlock clearly did she take a wry smile.

"Interesting, your name is Moonwhite, isn't it?" Sherlock suddenly accosted her.

"Uh, did you hear it all?" Yuebai smiled awkwardly.

"I'm Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes. ”

"Sherlock Holmes? Are you the British detective? Are you a real person?"

As soon as she heard her name, Yuebai's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward and looked at her carefully.

"Yes... Deer hunting hat, pipe, always wearing an overcoat, deep dark circles, looking like an addict ... Uh, sorry, I'm a little overexcited. It's not makeup or anything, right?"

"If so," said Sherlock, grinning, "this young lady, I have something to ask you about the ghost of the opera." ”

"That's fine, but... Actually, my friend and I got separated. ”

Friend... The woman in the mouth of the three men... The evidence isn't quite there, Sherlock thought, nodding.

"Do you have a place to live?"
