With the mournful and weeping Mrs. Stephen on one side and the truth of the matter on the other, Song Yiqiao sat by the window worriedly, looking at the noisy night scene of people and cars outside, and her heart was extremely depressed.

With her chin in one hand, she looked inadvertently at the window across the street, and wondered that Mr. Detective must have been bored again, standing by the window, his back straight, his eyes staring thoughtfully out of the window, his violin playing smoothly and gracefully.

Although Song Yiqiao couldn't hear it, she had a strong feeling that it must be very good.

[Emergency Capability On! You'll get a "tailwind ear" trial skill that costs £100 to use once. Do you want to try it out? 】

Song Yiqiao hesitated, but decided to give up this opportunity, she didn't have much savings now, and she couldn't be so willful with money.

Anyway, I guess I've heard of it.

Suddenly, Sherlock's gaze turned abruptly to her, and the violin stopped.

Song Yiqiao raised his eyebrows, picked up his phone in the other party's sight, dialed a number, and looked at Sherlock with a smile. In less than a second, the man over there put down his violin and picked up the phone.

"Good evening." She said hello happily.

"Miss Song Yiqiao, please give me a reason to waste time answering the phone."

The deep voice is transmitted through the microphone to this side, and the speed of speech is extremely fast, but there is a kind of unhurried leisure, as if it is a beautiful melody when playing a cello. Sherlock's accent is peculiar, not the indistinct tone of the East End, nor the flatness of American English, but a very pleasant accent with a subdued accent, which contrasts sharply with his expressionless appearance.

Song Yiqiao's thoughts ran too far, and the thoughts in his mind came out without paying attention: "When you speak, it seems like you're singing." ”

“……”

She had a strong premonition that the man across from her should be sweeping at her with cold gray eyes.

"Shouldn't I say thank you when I praise you? This is the most basic courtesy of a gentleman. ”

Sherlock replied slowly, "It's a bit of a misuse to be polite on you." ”

“…… You have to be glad I don't have a heart attack, Mr. Holmes. ”

"So wasting two minutes of my time just to discuss whether you can have a heart attack? IMHO, go to the brain exam tomorrow morning, IQ defects are the most fatal. ”

Sherlock sneered, and gestured to hang up.

"Hey, wait!"

"I don't have a lot of boring time like you, so I'd advise you to get the point straight at once."

――Weren't you still playing the violin to pass the time?

Song Yiqiao pursed his lips and expressed disdain for someone's posturing attitude.

"I can see your face."

Sherlock's cold voice suddenly sounded, startling Song Yiqiao. She coughed dryly and hurried to the point: "I want to ask...... If right now, you were faced with two choices, one to protect yourself and one not to be condemned by your conscience, which one would you choose? ”

There was silence for a while.

"First of all, I have to say that your question is undoubtedly stupid, and everything is premised on not harming your own interests. And secondly—"

The voice through the microphone paused, and said slowly: "Don't you already have a choice?" ”

Song Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this, and was surprisingly relieved.

Yes, isn't her choice obvious when compared to the two?

"Thank you for helping me solve a difficult problem." She looked across the street window and smiled genuinely for the first time, "Oh, and you have a nice sound." ”

The other end is quiet for a second and then hangs up.

Song Yiqiao watched his back disappear into the window and burst out laughing.

……

A few days passed quickly, during which Lady Stephen and Alicia had approached Song Yiqiao, who had decided to hide the secret from her, apparently saying that she had not discovered anything for the time being.

I can only be sorry for Mrs. Stephen.

Objectively speaking, even if the Daniels knew the truth and threatened them, Galen would not be in a position to deprive them of their lives. He was too young and too impulsive...... Just like the unspeakable secret, when reason is swallowed up by strong emotions, the flames that erupt will burn the dearest ones.

The last thing you should know is the person in question.

In the past few days, Mrs. Stephen has spent a lot of savings to bail Galen, and desperately has not made any progress. Song Yiqiao couldn't bear it but couldn't help her, so she could only comfort her in vain.

The final judgment was still inevitable, and Song Yiqiao did not go in, but chose to wait outside.

She could scarcely imagine the grief-stricken look in Mrs. Stephen's eyes as she faced the final verdict.

Suddenly, the door of the courthouse was opened, and the media rushed forward to surround the people who came out, and the gray-faced Mrs. Stephen was taken into the car in the midst of the siege, and soon disappeared.

Song Yiqiao took advantage of their attention to be on that side, and silently slipped to Alicia's side: "What is the result?" ”

"Prison for life. Prohibit. ”

She gasped.

"Is it very strict?" Alicia, who had lost the case, was not in a good mood, "You have to know how serious the crime of intentional murder is in England, he should be glad that he did not live in the last century, otherwise let alone prison. It's forbidden, and you can't even save your life. ”

Song Yiqiao understood the reason, but he still couldn't help but feel sad.

"Thank you for your help some time ago." She whispered.

"No thanks, if you need legal assistance in the future, you can contact me."

Alicia quickly adjusted her mood, shook hands with her in a friendly manner, and then rushed to the next plane with her assistant.

Song Yiqiao walked back slowly, his head still messy. Suddenly, she heard the system's chime begin to echo.

[The mission fails, but due to the host's good appearance, the lightest punishment will be imposed, please hide in a hidden place within three minutes.] Countdown now: 180, 179, 178......]

Punish!

The countdown of the system continued, Song Yiqiao's heart thumped, and he didn't care about going home, so he casually rushed to the public restroom of a nearby mall and quickly closed the door.

【…… 3, 2, 1, the penalty time begins. 】

Song Yiqiao's body trembled, and suddenly, the scenery in front of her fell down in an uproar, and she fell to the ground with a confused face, and then ......

Miscellaneous! Whatever! Ghost!

[Random punishment is in the form of a cat, you can't use any power for the next 12 hours, please be careful!] 】

- What about my clothes?

Song Yiqiao, who had turned into a cat, was speechless, and subconsciously "meowed" and meowed.

[Please rest assured that clothes and documents will be systematically carried.] 】

“……”

Song Yi glanced at his furry paws, and couldn't bear to look at them directly. Resignedly, she slipped out from under the crack in the door, quickly made her way through the crowd, and rushed out of the crowded mall.

The experience of being a cat was truly special, as she had to adapt to crawling on all fours, and at the same time she had to guard against the crowds and vehicles.

"Hey! White! ”

Two children rushed over excitedly and stretched out their dirty hands to grab Song Yiqiao. Losing her former sense of security, she fled in the opposite direction in a panic, stumbling along the way and nearly falling into the sewers.

At this moment, Song Yiqiao's eyes went black, and he slammed into an unknown object solidly.

She couldn't help but scream in pain when her sensitive nose was hit, even though the sound she made was a delicate and weak cat meow.

In the next second, the back of her neck was grabbed by a powerful big hand, and Song Yiqiao fluttered a few times in vain, but collided with a cold gray.

…… Oh leak.
