In the evening, there was a drizzling rain, and under the dim street lamps, the stagnant water in the puddle reflected the backs of the two walking side by side, gradually fading away in the hazy night.

Staying with Hubert, Song Yiqiao was in a very worried mood.

What exactly is his purpose?

Song Yiqiao secretly speculated in her heart for a long time, and couldn't think of a proper reason for this mafia to walk quietly by her side, and stroll the streets of Baker Street with her like an ordinary friend.

If she is a simple little girl, I am afraid that there is really a vague fantasy in her heart - maybe the other party fell in love with her at first sight, so obviously.

However, the repeated cases and the harsh reality tell her that this godfather may have some ulterior motives......

"You've been silent for ten minutes, Miss Song, is there anything about me that makes you feel uncomfortable?" Hubert, beside him, spoke gently.

"Oh, no...... You are mistaken. Song Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this, and awkwardly put his hand in the pocket of his coat, "We've only met once, I don't know how to speak, I'm sorry for your misunderstanding." ”

"It's just a walk, you don't have to be too nervous."

I hope so.

She pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you." ”

Hubert's footsteps stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?"

"Stand still and don't move...... Right. ”

He looked down at Song Yiqiao's somewhat surprised face, his beautiful black eyes focused on paranoia, like a discerning artist examining his beloved work, his eyes unblinking.

"Your expression is the most real at this moment."

“……”

Hubert's slender fingers slowly touched her eyelids, and her thick eyelashes dodged like mimosas at the touch, causing her to stagger back a few steps.

"I'm sorry, I'm not used to being up close to people." Song Yiqiao turned his face away, and his tone was very polite, "It's not early, I think I should go back." ”

"I was too reckless just now, I hope it doesn't bother you." He withdrew his hand, slightly apologetic.

"No, it was a nice evening, thank you."

Then, her figure faded away, and the mimosa closed completely.

Hubert stared at her from afar, the black fog condensed in his eyes, and the gloom gradually spread. After a while, he put the finger that had just touched her to his lips and kissed him gently like his lover.

"Want to stay away?" He closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "...... No, you have to learn to accept it. ”

The usually mild tone sounds unprovokedly creepy at the moment.

……

Song Yiqiao's footsteps became faster and faster, and finally he almost returned to the room as if he was running away.

She closed the door tightly, and nervously rushed to the window to look out into the street, and closed the curtains without seeing Hubert's figure.

It was definitely not an illusion just now!

At the moment when Hubert spoke, the warning sound of the system's first-level alert suddenly sounded, and Song Yiqiao was startled, not daring to imagine whether her shocked expression had been noticed.

How can a general like cause a warning?

In this perverted world, Song Yiqiao had to raise her guard. She didn't know Hubert's details, and she couldn't think of what kind of dark heart was hidden under that gentle surface.

If you really annoy the other party, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat.

After all, she only has one life!

"Click."

The lock was twisted, and as soon as Mrs. Hudson entered, she saw Song Yiqiao looking frightened.

"Did I scare you?" She asked apologetically.

"It's not your fault, Mrs. Hudson. I watched a horror movie in the afternoon, and I still have images in my head, but luckily you came back early. ”

Song Yiqiao found that his lying skills were getting higher and higher, and his tongue didn't turn when he said this, and his happy expression was perfectly disguised.

Sure enough, Mrs. Hudson was completely convinced of the lies she had compiled.

"My sweetheart, you shouldn't be watching something so horrible at night. I remember that after watching "The Shining" for the first time, I didn't dare to stay alone in my room, so I had to ask Lily to accompany her, and her cautious husband was still a little unhappy about it...... My God, I'm so confused, time flies! ”

"yes." Song Yiqiao couldn't help but sigh.

Mrs. Hudson seemed to notice the gaffe, shook her head and muttered something, and suddenly slapped her forehead.

"That's right!"

Song Yiqiao was about to go back to the room, turned around and asked suspiciously, "What else is going on?" ”

"Need my help?" She smiled kindly, "In my experience, you can be scared to sleep alone at night after being frightened. ”

……

Song Yiqiao didn't know what kind of bewitchment he was inexplicably listening to the other party's words in the face of Mrs. Hudson's gentle face. It wasn't until they were both lying on the soft bed that she blinked her eyes consciously.

Wait, it seems...... Something is wrong?

She didn't watch horror movies!

Mrs. Hudson's warm hand patted her shoulder and soothed her like her own child, "Don't be afraid, I'm still here." ”

Song Yiqiao's heart suddenly ached, and the memory collapsed somewhere, making her eyes red involuntarily.

“…… Thank you. ”

The two lay silently on their beds, as if after a long number of hours, Mrs. Hudson's lonely voice sounded in the silent room.

"Joe, I used to have a child too, but a few years younger than you."

"Why—"

"After the divorce, the court ruled on the father of the child."

"You're sad, aren't you...... I'm sorry. ”

"You don't need to say sorry to me, I'm content with my life right now." She moved her head and looked at Song Yiqiao, "Everyone will more or less have some secret past, we will all be painful when we mention that memory, but after a few years, the pain will always pass." Like a scar, it leaves a shallow mark, but it doesn't hurt so much anymore. ”

Song Yiqiao clenched the hand that was no longer young: "I understand. ”

Sherlock is the same, he is always habitually pricked like a hedgehog and pricked others all over his body, but he may not feel good himself. If you really get in touch with him, you will find that he is a humble, kind, shy and gentlemanly young man. ”

Mrs. Hudson's adjectives made her lips curl.

Someone as unlovable as Sherlock can see through his nasty appearance, right?

"Your relationship reminds me of Elizabeth and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice."

"Why?" Song Yiqiao was stunned for a moment.

"He does disguise himself with arrogance, but, Joe, do you also look at him with a biased gaze? If you think about it, is he really as annoying as you think? ”

Song Yiqiao was silent.

"You two are very good young men with the best character in the world, and I don't want you to misunderstand each other."

"Mrs. Hudson, you think too highly of me."

"No, trust me, you're excellent."

She paused, then added a meaningful remark: "Sherlock, too, can see." ”

Song Yiqiao smiled noncommittally.

That night, the two opened up and talked about a lot of things. Including Mrs. Hudson's past, Sherlock's character, the cases he has experienced, and the secret behind Lily's case......

Song Yiqiao didn't know when he fell asleep.

She had a long dream in which many memories appeared, and suddenly, she was woken up by the sound of a loud bell. Song Yiqiao picked up the phone in a daze, and in the next second, a message woke her up like thunder.

Jack ...... Suicide!
