As soon as the two entered, they attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, and the combination of male and female appearance attracted much attention.

Sherlock frowned imperceptibly, a hint of disgust flashing in his gray eyes.

A middle-aged man with a big belly came over with champagne, his eyes wandering around Song Yiqiao intentionally or unintentionally, and on the surface, he still greeted Sherlock politely: "Aha, it's Mr. Holmes!" How is life going these days? ”

"As always." Sherlock's answer was neither salty nor light.

"I've never seen this beautiful lady before, so I'll take the liberty of it, but which lady is it?"

His mind was not concealed at all, and his fiery eyes made Song Yiqiao take a step back a little uncomfortably, wanting to avoid the other party's unscrupulous prying eyes.

Sherlock asked nonchalantly, "Was the dispute resolved last time?" I heard about the prostitute named Clara. The woman is still entangled in every way, presumably Mrs. Zun's mood should not be very good. ”

"You!"

"If you don't want to be heard, it's better to be more restrained." He paused, and the corners of his lips pulled up the usual mocking smile, "You seem to have gained weight again, let me give you a advice, don't always eat poultry meat, eat a balanced diet to live a few more years." ”

After speaking, he grabbed Song Yiqiao's waist with one hand and took her away from this place.

Sherlock sounded much happier when he swept his fire at someone else, and only this vicious detective could do such a caustic yet non-explicit sarcasm.

Song Yiqiao originally wanted to laugh, but her strong arms were still tightly attached to her waist, and the two bodies snuggled together, as if they could feel the temperature of each other's skin slightly lower than ordinary people through the thin clothing. It is unusual to smell a faint smell of perfume on Sherlock's body on the tip of his nose, after all, he usually does not want to be contaminated with perfume and other things that interfere with his sense of smell.

The strange touch made Song Yiqiao feel uncomfortable, and after walking a few steps, he consciously broke free from the restraints and picked up a glass of wine in disguise.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Holmes......" Song Yiqiao was about to continue, when he suddenly noticed a familiar trace in the crowd of people who were talking.

Alicia?

She seemed to have adapted to polite diplomacy, chatting and laughing with the elderly judge, and completely absent the aggressiveness of the trial.

"Galen's defender is the wife of a politician in the United States, and he is in the limelight right now." Sherlock followed her gaze and looked at her with a clear expression, "You know her." ”

"I just didn't expect to invite her over, and the plane ticket is not cheap."

Song Yiqiao waved his hand mockingly on the surface, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. The first trial has just ended, and I don't know what the result of their discussion will be, but if even Alicia can't solve it based on the table in "The Proud Wife", I'm afraid the case will really be much more troublesome.

"I'll go over and say hello to her first, you ...... Ay? ”

As soon as she turned around, Sherlock disappeared at some point, as if the questions were all delusions.

The elusive guy......

Just as their conversation was over, Song Yiqiao took the opportunity to walk up to him and greeted him with a smile: "Hello." ”

"Hello." Alicia pursed her lips and looked at the visitor without a trace, "May I ask if you are—"

"Just call me Joe."

Song Yiqiao took a quick look at the situation around him, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he whispered: "I was asked by Mrs. Stephen to come to inquire if there is any hidden information in the case, can you let me meet Galen?" ”

She was unable to see the suspect directly, and only had a chance to take Alicia's lawyer's letter.

Alicia asked incredulously, "What evidence do you have?" ”

"Lady Stephen's letter."

Fortunately, Song Yiqiao was prepared and handed over the previous letter of entrustment to her for review, and the information revealed in it was enough to prove the situation.

“…… Well, you know, this case is tricky. Alicia gave her back, pretending to be joking, and the content of the conversation was not very pleasant, "The defendant does not have the slightest intention of wanting to live, and insists that he is the murderer, plus the evidence is conclusive, so it is difficult to find a loophole at present." ”

"Did you communicate with him?"

"Yes, he was clever enough to say nothing but repeat those few words."

The two were silent for a moment.

"It's really hard." Song Yiqiao smiled bitterly.

"yes, do your best." Alicia secretly handed her a business card through the blind spot of her sight: "Contact me when I go back, and I will hand it over to you tomorrow, hoping to bring me good news." ”

"Thank you."

Song Yiqiao exchanged tacit glances with her, and in the eyes of others, the two of them seemed to have ended an ordinary conversation and didn't take it seriously.

She walked around without seeing any familiar figures, and was invited to dance by several young men on the way. Song Yiqiao can't do ballroom dancing, so she can only find various reasons to avoid those passionate men.

It's nice to be young, you can almost see the hormones boiling in them, but she's not interested in being in love at all.

Sherlock, who had just been elusive, suddenly appeared in front of him again, and casually arranged his sleeves. Although his face was a little pale, and the impersonal arrogance between his eyebrows was never concealed, his handsome face still attracted the admiring eyes of the female guests around him.

The lively girl stepped forward directly and invited: "Is there a dance partner for the next dance?" ”

Song Yiqiao glanced at Sherlock, and could think that he couldn't say anything good when he looked at his expression, so he simply acted as a bad guy and stopped in front: "I'm sorry, I made an appointment for him all night." ”

“…… Oh well, thanks. ”

One of the greatest advantages of being an aristocratic background is that they don't get angry in public even if they are disappointed, because they know how much disaster they can bring to themselves by not being polite in their conversation.

Song Yiqiao watched her go away and whispered to Sherlock, "Hey, you have to thank me." ”

The other party didn't look appreciative: "Nosy." ”

At the end of a piece, the orchestra breaks for a while, and new music is played. Song Yiqiao was very hungry and was about to serve a few desserts, when he had an extra hand in front of him.

Pale and slender, with beautiful fingertip shapes.

She looked up in surprise: "I'm kidding." ”

"If you understand the continuity of lies, you will understand that the young lady who was rejected just now is staring at you with cold eyes."

“……”

Song Yiqiao silently put down the wine glass and put it on his cold hand: "Explain in advance, I can't dance." ”

"The mental attitude of exculpation does not make you feel less guilty."

"I don't understand such profound words."

"It's time to clean up the straw in your brain, Miss Song Yiqiao."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sherlock put his arms around her waist expressionlessly, "Put your right hand on my shoulder, and raise your elbow a little more...... Keep up to the beat and I'll take you. ”

Fortunately, Song Yiqiao was not too stupid, and he jumped back and forth under his accurate instructions, so as to avoid the embarrassment of stepping on Sherlock's feet.

Although she did want to.

"Haven't you heard that a good heart is worth gold." Song Yiqiao continued the topic just now, and said teasingly, "Although I have an empty head, I can still stay with someone like you who speaks mean, so Mr. Holmes, you should be grateful to Dade." ”

Sherlock raised an eyebrow: "You read "Henry IV Part II"? I thought the young ladies liked Romeo and Juliet. ”

"That's not a coincidence, I don't like Juliet, or Carmen is more in line with my heart."

Song Yiqiao approached him mischievously, and happened to be wearing high heels today, and after standing on tiptoe, her soft and rosy lips could almost touch Sherlock's chin. She lowered her voice, as if she was whispering to her lover: "As long as you are favored by me, you must be careful!" ”

A rare stiffness in the man's body.

Just after the end of the song, Song Yiqiao let go of his hand and took a step back, blinking his black eyes: "Thank you for your teaching." I've got something to do, so I'm going to be ahead and have a nice night. ”

After saying that, he walked away.

She walked out of the hotel door and couldn't help but smile smugly - looking at the appearance of that guy, she must have been frightened, and sure enough, she still had to fight violence with violence!

A cool breeze blew, Song Yiqiao's shoulders shrank suddenly, and the exposed fair skin became a layer of fine goosebumps. She hurriedly beckoned to the taxi and leaned over to sit in.

She's in a hurry, and if her instincts are right, there might be something new tonight.
