129.When Night Falls from the Sky [3]
In the room, Connie was holding the thin Wen Jiàn clip, and her heart was beating fast.
After a long time, she took a deep breath before carefully opening the Wen Jiàn folder, which contained only a thin piece of paper recording the man's life.
Elliot Garcia.
28 years old, a not-so-well-known engineer with a wife, now divorced.
The person in the photo is a little old, but a round face looks a little old-fashioned, the expression looks a little haggard, and the facial features are not good-looking, but he looks like an honest person.
He also has a chubby sister named Penelope, whose round face and body combined with fair skin make her look like a sunshine ball.
In the photo, the brother and sister are smiling very happily. Because their parents left early, the two siblings depend on each other, but this makes Connie even more sad.
As soon as Elliot left, she became an orphan.
She orphaned a child...... Connie couldn't bear the fact a little too much, and sat at the head of the bed and looked at the paper, flipping through it and looking at it over and over again.
"Connie, let's have dinner." Bruce knocked on the door and brought food in, and Connie looked at Bruce's concerned eyes and nodded somewhat calmly.
Penelope, I'll take care of you for your brother.
Connie secretly made up her mind and ate the food that Bruce had brought her, one bite at a time.
This night, Connie stared at the starry sky all night, the sky was full of stars, she didn't feel sleepy at all, and the desk was completely her previous plan.
She has always had a plan for her life, and goals and efforts are indispensable. Now, a big part of the project includes a girl named Penelope Garcia.
After sitting all night until dawn, Connie went out of the room and entered the kitchen as usual, making coffee for breakfast as usual, and even making some small snacks, which she carefully packed one by one.
Bruce got up early, but not as early as Sherlock, and when Connie first saw him, she thought that he hadn't slept all night, which was the norm for Sherlock, unlike her, who had slept for eighteen hours before, but didn't sleep all night last night, and at this time there was a lot of blue and black under her eyes, and her eyelids were swollen.
"Coffee?" Connie deliberately poured herself a cup of coffee, and handed another cup to Sherlock, who glanced at Connie's own cup of coffee, which was already half-drunk.
Taking the cup, he threw a cookie into his mouth and took a sip of his coffee.
"Penelope's information, can you help me investigate?" Connie made up her mind and asked Sherlock for help, which she didn't want anyone to know, and since Sherlock had seen through her mind, she thought maybe she could ask for help.
Sherlock looked at her, acquiescing to her intentions.
"She's on a leave of absence." He spoke in a low voice, the phone in his hand lit up, which was only a matter of a few minutes for him.
Connie looked up at him, "Take a leave of absence?" ”
"She's a good hacker, and in a few years, she'll dominate the queen's circle." Sherlock said with appreciation, Connie felt a little strange, could it be that Penelope was still a genius?
"After her parents died in a car accident, she was alone, and then she took a break from Caltech, probably dropped out of school, and she seemed to be very bad at interpersonal interactions." Sherlock decides, but Connie finds it strange.
"Cal Poly University!? How old is she? She gasped, Penelope didn't look much older than her.
"At the age of 16, at the age of 14, she was admitted to the California Institute of Technology, but despite dropping out, she achieved the highest grades in all her courses in two years, but she took a break from school." It's equivalent to getting a certificate.
Connie was shocked, wondering what geniuses thought.
"What about Elliot? Aren't they brother and sister? Why is there a person, doesn't it mean that they depend on each other? ”
Sherlock shook his head: "Their relationship is not good, and they are not brothers and sisters, but half-siblings. "It's not in the information, but it's all for Sherlock to find out.
"Elliot's parents were a very ordinary couple who couldn't have a child like Penelope." That's pretty straightforward.
"But their relationship is not bad...... Connie looked at the picture of her father, and Penelope was almost carved out of the same mold, so Penelope's cleverness must have been inherited from her mother.
Before he could sigh, Sherlock's next sentence opened the door to a new world.
"She has a recently rising nickname called the Black Queen, and she has recently been targeted by the FBI."
Connie almost squirted out a mouthful of coffee.
"What!?" fbi!
Connie coughed twice and frowned.
The boundaries of hackers are indeed easy to blur or even cross the line, and Penelope is still a master, and he can be praised by Sherlock, who is by no means an ordinary person, but no matter how powerful he is, he is also a sixteen-year-old child, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes, if he is really caught by then......
"How is her hacking skills better than yours?" Connie asked, and after receiving Sherlock's faint gaze, she quickly changed her words: "Of course it can't compare to you, so can you hack her computer?" Let her not hack others, so that the FBI can't find her for the time being......" The room was all her savings so far, and she was thinking about what reason to send money to Penelope.
Sherlock looked at her pleading gaze, flipped his fingertips, and put the phone down against the desktop after half a minute: "Okay." ”
"Thank you." Connie sulked thanks.
He spoke again: "Does Penelope know about her brother's accident?" If you don't know...... Can I send her money in her brother's name? ”
Sherlock put down his glass: "It doesn't matter if you know it or not, she's a child of the Garcia family, and you can still send her money in Elliot's name." ”
Connie's eyes lit up and she thought of a measure: "Yes, I can say that Elliot bought an insurance policy and the beneficiary is Garcia, then she can use the money to complete her studies!" ”
Sherlock came to her again at some point.
"You think she dropped out of school because she didn't have money?"
Connie looked up, "Or else?" ”
"Silly boy." Sherlock chuckled, "She's the Black Queen, and she can earn an ordinary person's salary for a whole year by taking a random order." ”
Connie was silent, the top hackers are indeed very profitable.
"So she dropped out of school because of her family?" Connie was a little distressed, even if she sent money to Penelope, she didn't care.
"You just do what you do best." After flipping over a full cup of coffee, Sherlock patted Connie on the top of her head and turned away.
The intimacy and tacit understanding between the two seemed extremely natural, Connie was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice Sherlock's movements from beginning to end, while Bruce, who was belated, saw their every move clearly from beginning to end at the door.
When Sherlock was gone, Bruce hadn't yet appeared, staring at Connie's face for a long time before he left worriedly.
It seems that Connie didn't notice the second young master's sinister intentions at all?
But when did Master Sherlock change his attitude?
That couldn't be more obvious.
Bruce, who dialed Mycroft's phone, received an endless silence from Mycroft after a call, and he understood it for a moment.
This was a moment, enlightened?
But Connie, apparently still at a loss, right?
Bruce has a headache here, and Mycroft is also anxious over there.
The Hudsons, who had lost news a few days ago, received the latest news today that they may be in the hands of Moriarty, who somehow appeared in Italy's top gangs.
Thinking about Moriarty's relationship with several people and his own brother, who had recently seemed to have made up his mind to keep Connie his personal possession, McCroft felt a throbbing pain in his head.
What kind of is this...... So much so that the issue of Connie's underage that Bruce was worried about couldn't be squeezed into his consideration at all.
