41. The Goldfish of London 40
Jim Moriarty, consulting criminals, Napoleon in the criminal world, he really didn't want to spoil people's feelings, and they didn't give him a commission, he was just doing a warm-up, and it was not yet the beginning of the curtain. If, he said, if it really becomes a little trickster, then there is no way to do it.
It may or may not be a joke, but this time Jim assures him that he's really not out to mess with it. After the last unsuccessful attempt to hire a professional 'female killer', Jim decided to refine the information about the beautiful Miss Ai, so he used his pawn in the police, and really got some very confusing information, so confusing that he was two days late to come to say hello.
When Jim received a message from his little chess piece that the lovely couple on Baker Street were going out one after the other, he blinked his big charming eyes, and then showed a ...... With a shy smile, he pretended to pick up a book "Teach You to Learn Chinese", and went out happily.
It's a sunny day in London, and Chinatown is as lively as ever.
Erin had come to buy the potions, not because anyone was sick, but because she was interested in the potions mentioned in Harry Potter, but she didn't have much free time to practice them this week, and maybe to distract Sherlock from making another crying face on the wall.
Comrade Xiao Ai didn't know that her boyfriend had followed her all the way to Chinatown, but Sherlock didn't immediately follow, but first exchanged information with his homeless Chinatown team, and then disguised himself as a homeless man, so he followed his girlfriend.
Sherlock secretly followed Erin for half an hour, but did not find any suspicious characters, and at the same time, he was not noticed by Erin, he thought in his heart that he would have to exercise her anti-reconnaissance skills when he returned, and at this time, a man approached Erin. Sherlock quickly deduced that he loves the Internet and does not like sports, and otaku + is learning Chinese + for the people he likes.
But the little man dressed as an otaku seemed to Erin to come to the opposite conclusion of Sherlock.
In Sherlock's view, it was an otaku with a beginner's Chinese primer in his hand, who wanted to practice his spoken English and asked for help in Chinatown, he was introverted, he opened his mouth twice but did not make a sound, and when Comrade Xiao Ai walked in his direction, he finally made up his mind.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is really like that.
That little man is the type who stands out from the crowd and won't attract attention. But when Erin turned a corner and walked onto the road, she realized that something was wrong: even on a sunny day, the ghosts on the street should not be so clean, and there was not a single ghost on this street, which was too abnormal.
Erin thought about the street she had just walked through, and also met three or two ghosts, and at this time Erin saw the young man holding a book "Teach You to Learn Chinese" in his hand, originally she just glanced at it casually, and came up with the basic interpretation of otaku who don't like to go out and love the Internet, but just when she was about to move away, she suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain like a pinprick in the center of her eyebrows.
Irene's pupils contracted slightly, black condensed in her pupils, and when she fixed her gaze on the young man who seemed harmless at first glance, she saw behind him a web of darkness with teeth and claws trying to drag the whole world into a web of darkness, a web like a spider's web, and the young man in the center of the web, he was smiling gracefully, evilly. From this, Erin can be sure that he is the master of the dark web, not the darkness that dominates him, extremely dangerous!
And it was then that Erin realized that the toothy and clawed spider silk was spreading towards her, no, no, it was coming towards her. She blinked her eyes, and when she opened them again, the richer black faded under her eyes, and when she opened them again, the color of her pupils returned to normal, but when she saw the young man walking towards her, showing a shy and harmless smile, she still didn't control it, her pupils dilated, and she shuddered, this man was the most dangerous person she had ever encountered!
"Hi, my name is Jim, I've been learning Chinese recently, hmm, can you help me correct the pronunciation?" The otaku Jim didn't get a response from Irene, he couldn't help leaning over to Erin, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, raised his voice and asked, "Miss?" You okay? ”
Erin subconsciously took a half step back, put her hand in her coat pocket, blinked slowly, squeezed out an embarrassed smile after calming down, and then said in Chinese English, still stumbling Chinese English: "I don't speak English well, I'm just here to travel to the UK, you go find someone else." ”
As soon as the Chinese English came out, Rao is Jim was stunned for a full ten seconds before he understood what Erin said, he shook his hand and said, "It's okay", and said to Erin before going to find someone else: "Thank you." "Well, it's not like Sherlock and McCroft speak very authentic Chinese, but the big tongue Chinese of ordinary foreigners, and by the way, it comes with a shy and harmless smile.
Erin stood by and watched Jim carry the book into a nearby store where he bought a lucky cat, and through the glass window, he could see that he was holding the book and bargaining with the shopkeeper in Chinese, still looking harmless. Erin withdrew her gaze and looked at the others on the street, each of them had a different color under her eyes, white, gray, just a different color—a different shade, but none of them had a chilling black like Jim.
Erin's gaze suddenly froze in one direction, and the next moment she chased in that direction without thinking about it, and Sherlock, disguised as a homeless man, had already realized that something was wrong, and when Erin chased after him, he dodged into the alley next to him, and when Erin passed by, he reached out and grabbed her hand from inside and pulled her in.
"Your hands—" Her fingers were cold, she was scared just now?
Before Sherlock could finish speaking, she was hugged tightly by Irene, she buried her face in Sherlock's neck, smelling the pure smell of his body, she immediately calmed down, and couldn't help muttering: "Sherlock, you must not know how special you are in my eyes." ”
"I know." Sherlock said quickly, clumsily reaching out and patting his girlfriend on the back, but his mouth said something untouchable, "Your anti-reconnaissance skills need to be improved, I followed you behind you for half an hour, and you didn't even notice me." ”
Erin was silent and looked up from her boyfriend's arms: "That is, you are stalking me?" ”
Sherlock: "...... Now it looks like it's falling short, no, you met that otaku earlier, what's wrong with him? Scared you? ”
"He said his name was Jim, and he was the most dangerous human I've ever seen." Erin let go of Sherlock and walked out of the alley to look at the place where she had just met Jim, who was no longer in sight.
"The most dangerous human being? You say he? Sherlock darkened his face and then realized that his deduction was wrong, and although deduction was not guaranteed to be right every time, he was always right, but this time his initial deduction was very different from Erin's conclusion and her reaction. Of course, he admits that he was wrong, not because he was letting his girlfriend, but because he realized that Erin was defining the scope of 'human' when describing the other person, and she must have used her unnatural identification methods before.
Sherlock retrieved the scene and analyzed it, and then realized to his dismay, that he had not been able to deduce evidence from the little man that was close to Erin's conclusion.
Well, there are two possibilities.
Erin turned back to one of them, "Sherlock, how likely do you think he's Mr. M?" Comrade Xiao Ai furrowed her brows after speaking, and she muttered Jim's name and Mr. M, "Jim, Mr. M, Jim・M-"
[Later, a third person named Jim Moriarty came out.] This guy has a high IQ, but his EQ is too low, and he wants to take Sherlock Holmes by force, trying to detonate a bomb by the pool, and everyone dies together. Aiye had told her that she thought it was very strange that this kind of thing had happened to Sherlock, but she had seen Mr. M and Dennis White talk as she pleased, and the methods that ordinary people didn't have, and then connected with Jim, who had a cobweb of teeth and claws on his back and laughed wickedly. Eventually, Erin's mind lit up, and the name blurted out: "Jim Moriarty!" ”
"You know him." Sherlock said in a declarative tone.
"She knows me." At the same time, Jim Moriarty, who gave up halfway from Chinatown and informed his little chess pieces to leave Chinatown, turned his mobile phone and said firmly. After he finished speaking, he added, "She knows me, she's afraid of me, Daddy caught her pupils dilated~" He grinned and showed his white teeth, and the two canine teeth were a little hideous at this time.
"No one has ever found me, and I won't find one." Jim muttered, and the next moment he turned on his phone, and the screen turned, and the picture of Sherlock and Erin kissing appeared on the screen. Jim just looked at the screen, shook his head and sighed, "It's not fun, how could she know about me?" It's not yet time for me to make a grand debut. No, no, no—" he frowned again, "it seems to add more uncontrollability and fun to the game, not what I expected, but let's take it as a bonus." Hmm, I've decided to call this young lady 'Thesurprise'. ”
