Chapter 485: It's on fire!
A simple, but by no means humble wedding, went on quietly in the church.
The priest on the altar began to recite the lines of blessing and witnessing the newlyweds according to the process, and Yumi Horikoshi under the veil couldn't help but start to wander.
Why do you want to get married? She couldn't tell.
Maybe at first it was not enough to be satisfied with the person Nakamichi Kazushi. He has many advantages, but there are also disadvantages, at least he does not meet the requirements of her imaginary partner.
Later, when she got older and didn't have so many meaningless fantasies, she still didn't want to choose Nakamichi and Shi, but because they had been together for too long.
In addition, during college, the couple who have known each other for seventeen or eighteen years have been separated and reunited several times, not only have they seen each other's best youth, but also witnessed the most embarrassing, the worst, and vicious moments......
Entangled at this age, they may be more accustomed to each other than emotional. If Nakado and Zhi had communicated with her well before deciding to go on a blind date without authorization, whether it was to propose again, or to give up and break up peacefully, would she still be so messy?
To be honest, Yumi Horikoshi herself doesn't know.
Maybe this is a resentful couple, it will develop to the point that Kazushi is full of murderous intent towards her, maybe her fault is really not small......
Sensing the absent-mindedness of the woman next to him, Leon rolled his eyes and glanced thoughtfully at Yumi Horikoshi.
Then he turned his head, looked exactly in the direction of the camera, and smiled meaningfully.
"The hint is starting to take effect." Tang Ze, who had accurately received this information, nodded, "What about Nakamichi and Zhi?" ”
Noah blinked slightly, and the screen was cut to another participant.
In the dark night, the church in front of him was brightly lit, and Nakamichi Kazushi, who was holding a torch in his hand, had a gloomy expression.
He was actually near the church of Santa Monica, and looking at his expression, it didn't look like he was here to wish his ex-girlfriend a happy marriage.
"Kazushi, what are you doing here?" The last moment he was still looking at Yumi Horikoshi, who was preparing to get married under the witness of the two boys Kudo and Karasawa, and the next moment he saw Nakamichi and Shi's angry appearance, Maori Kogoro was stunned, and his brows were twisted.
Considering only the relationship between the two of them, he is sympathetic to Nakamichi Kazushi, and Yumi Horikoshi often embarrasses others as a friend, let alone as a more intimate existence.
However, as a criminal policeman, Kazushi Nakamichi chose the most outrageous path......
He let out a long breath, and there was no longer any relief on his face.
The other people who intuitively saw the murderous intent of Nakamichi Kazushi also showed shock, shock and powerlessness, looking at Nakamichi Kazushi who didn't know that his ugliness had been exposed, and walked towards the bright church step by step.
Although he has heard his own straightforward description of the motive for killing, it is still shocking to be able to witness the process of a murderer committing the murder.
"After all, he is a ruthless man with murderous intent." Unlike the audience who were shocked outside, Tang Ze's reaction was relatively flat, just sighing leisurely while putting away the empty bag of potato chips in his hand, "However, compared to before, his killing intent has also been shaken." ”
Carefully observing Nakamichi and Zhiyin's uncertain complexion, Tang Ze nodded affirmatively, and did not forget to take out another box of pocky in his hand, and began to gnaw on it.
"Is there one?" Conan observed Kazushi Nakamichi uncertainly, "It's still a very gloomy expression." Is he going to set fire to the church directly?! ”
Seeing the other crowd behind Nakamichi and Chi holding torches and even accelerants like kerosene, Conan almost jumped off the soft couch.
It's not just a matter of snatching photos with Yumi Horikoshi, Holmes and Watson are still in the church!
Isn't he a bastard who found Erin through Holmes's hand, and then directly unloaded the grind and killed the donkey, and even the detective took the target to kill him
Not to mention that this Sherlock Holmes also has a face of his, Watson is also Tang Ze's appearance, it is simply full of substitution, and it feels like his fists are all um!
"Well, it wasn't too much of a surprise to me." Joker's flat voice interrupted his excitement, "Don't underestimate the murderer who has made a lot of preparations." He didn't kill in the heat of a moment of righteous indignation, have you forgotten his previous murder plan? Calmly and rationally plotting to kill the person next to the pillow is not an easy decision. ”
“…… So, are you trying to say that he is now impulsively ready to kill the detective along with him, which is already better than before? The corners of Conan's mouth twitched at Joker's crooked reasoning.
"That's pretty much what it means." Nodding earnestly, Joker replied, "Otherwise, why would the law be so premeditated or not?" Murder and kill are different concepts. You look at Nakamichi Kazushi's expression now, and he has begun to realize that it is a terrible thing for him to carefully prepare and plot to kill a person who used to be close to him...... Even if he knew that this was a game, it was likely that what he killed was just a bunch of data, and he hesitated. ”
There is no solemn march in the empty church, and the nondescript secret wedding is still going on quietly.
When Kazushi Nakamichi stood in front of the church, he suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart.
If she is beautiful, she can really find someone to marry and hold a wedding, how good it would be.
Then all the problems may no longer be a problem, and one day in the future, they may be able to meet on the street like strangers, or give a friendly smile and smile at each other.
Pity...... He had been forced to do his part, and he had already made a choice in righteous indignation.
Whether it was the Monster Thieves or the AI game, it just gave him a chance to pull back from the precipice at the last moment, shaking some of his killing intent. But it's a fact that he almost became a murderer.
There's nothing to hesitate about, pouring out killing intent at this moment is the only way to prevent yourself from really becoming a murderer.
Still wearing a luxurious fur coat and cape, Kazushi Nakamichi stared at the church in front of him, and finally, waved his hand.
Soon, the pungent kerosene and torches were brought up, and the wooden church was easily set on fire.
The door of the chapel was directly closed and killed by the thugs he had hired, and the flames lit up the dark night in an instant, and also reflected the sweaty face of Kazushi Nakamichi.
“…… Let's go. Not daring to look at the auditorium behind him any more, Nakamichi Kazushi re-buckled the mask covering his face, and said angrily.
Although he was in the game at this time, he also subconsciously wanted to cover his face and hide his identity.
Doing so may not actually kill Erin Adler, her husband, or Sherlock Holmes, but presumably in an environment like the fire, if she carries the photo on her body, there is a high probability of damage.
That's enough, he still prefers it, maybe Erin will hide East XZ in his own house as the original setting is.
He rushed over to light this fire, and the ingredients for venting should account for more.
Why is it always his wedding that is at risk of being ruined, in reality, and in the game! I'm really fed up with this vexatious woman, this vexatious world!
The closed door immediately attracted the attention of several people in the church.
Before Holmes and Watson could see the situation clearly, black smoke and flames rushed in as fast as they could, making people immediately realize the seriousness of the problem.
"It seems that the two clients are not going to pay the promised remuneration this time." Calmly pushing the ring onto Yumi Horikoshi's finger, Leon glanced at the detective and his assistant standing on the steps, and was in the mood to laugh.
"You know who we are." The young Kudo looked at Leon's appearance, and then at Yumi Horikoshi, whose face was still covered by the veil, as if he wanted to find out who was the one who was talking from the two.
"Of course you do, Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson." Leon calmly called out their identities, "But now, it shouldn't be the time to think about their status." ”
"You're right." The young man Tang Ze nodded, squatted down without hesitation, and after saying "forgive me", he ripped off a long skirt of Yumi Horikoshi.
Before Yumi Horikoshi screamed, Leon nodded in agreement with his approach: "Long skirts are really not good for escaping in the fire. There is water in the baptismal altar. ”
The two men quickly divided the thick gauze into several portions, soaked it and distributed it to several people in front of the altar, temporarily covering their mouths and noses.
I don't know if it's the structure, or if the game is deliberately speeding up the process, but in just two minutes, billowing smoke has poured into the church.
"It's too late to climb to the second floor. This way! The young Kudo pointed to the tall leaf-shaped window behind the statue and beckoned a few people.
Carefully tied the cloth on her face for Yumi Horikoshi, Leon whispered "Hold me tight", and easily hugged Yumi Horikoshi.
Yumi Horikoshi, who was nervous, didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of choking on the smoke of the fire - the level of realism of this game, she had already experienced it in the room through the light of the fire, and she didn't really want to experience the immersive fire survival.
On the other side, the young Tang Ze supported the priest with care, first supported him to the position of the window, and then turned around, directly grabbed the young Kudo, and lifted him up.
"Watson! I can walk on my own! ”
"Forget it, Sherlock, even when my leg injury is not healed, I can easily hit two of you. Don't make a fuss, I still have to take care of the old priest. ”
"Hey, put me down!"
“…… Hey, isn't it just a different model? Conan, who had a little uneasiness on his face, glanced at the two unscrupulous game planners beside him condemningly, "Is it necessary to change this part according to the two of us?" ”
"It's a fact." Tang Ze, who was holding a pocky, stretched out a hand and suppressed the protest of the elementary school students, "Even if you don't get smaller, Tang Ze lets you have two legs, and you can't beat him." ”
Noah, who was sitting on the side, nodded approvingly.
Although the head of the regiment has been living in a café, and the ghost knows how he found the opportunity to exercise, the fact is that the captain's physical skills have been improving on the basis of his already good physical skills.
The current Tang Ze, in his own words, even if he doesn't count the physical fitness advantage brought to him by his mask envoy status, he is also a person who can be on an equal footing with Mao Lilan.
"I don't either, it's so bad!"
"If you have a chance, let's practice some physical skills, great detective, it doesn't mean much to have good physical strength. However, if you are like this, there is really no need to practice. ”
"Hey......!"
Tang Ze withdrew his hand with a smile and continued to look at the live broadcast of the game screen in front of him, watching the young Tang Ze carrying the embarrassed detective in one hand and climbing along the statue easily with the other, his smile expanded a little.
In fact, Noah's question is easy to answer.
Tang Ze didn't look for a chance to exercise, but just recovered the memory of his previous life. He is gradually adapting to this young body, and more and more regaining his old technical and tactical level.
You must know that what Tang Ze learned at the beginning was not a martial art that was used to strengthen the body and stop fighting, but a killing technique that was used in actual combat.
"Close your eyes." Leon, who climbed onto the statue's shoulder with Yumi Horikoshi, did not forget to continue his work, and while speaking in her ear in a gentle voice, he kicked the flower window in front of him.
The glass with the image of the Virgin shattered, and Leon jumped out with the veiled woman in his arms.
Nakamichi Kazushi, who hadn't gone too far, heard the movement, turned around suddenly, and saw a newcomer in a formal suit, looking at each other affectionately, jumping down from the church.
With his eyes fixed on the bride whose white veil was flying and her face was covered tightly, Nakamichi Kazushi took a breath and quickened his pace.
I don't know if it's his delusion, this Erin Adler, gave him a very familiar feeling.
The group of troublemakers in the Strange Thieves Group, could it be Erin fabricated according to Yumi's appearance?
Hey, if that's the case, don't blame him for being too ruthless.
"It's all right, Miss Irene." Sherlock Holmes, who was placed on the ground by Watson, slapped the glass slag on his coat, glanced at the assistant who turned around to pick up the old priest, shrugged helplessly, and had to look at Yumi Horikoshi, and introduced himself seriously, "The matter has come to this, and there is no need for me to continue to hide my identity." As your husband said, my name is Sherlock Holmes, and I'm a detective. ”
"There is no need to reproduce this line!" Conan Edogawa slapped him over, and was quickly twisted by Joker and dodged.
Tang Ze raised his hand and motioned for Noah to play the soundtrack next to him to listen, so in the next second, Mao Lilan's exclamation of "Wow really seems to be Shinichi" came into Conan's ears.
Conan, choked speechless: "......"
Except for Leon's subtle glance at the camera, none of the other players in the game nor the NPCs noticed anything unusual, and the conversation continued.
"Indeed, this is the end of the matter, and we can open the skylight and say something." Yumi Horikoshi hesitantly withdrew her gaze at the murderers who were leaving in a hurry, not sure if she had just met a familiar person, or first shifted her attention to the detective in front of her, "As you can see, your client is not a gentleman, he has a small heart, a deep heart, and his methods are very vicious. Do you still want to continue your trust, insisting on helping him take my things from me. ”
"I'm just curious, Miss Irene." The young Kudo tilted his head, glanced at the handsome and tall Leon, and then looked at Yumi Horikoshi, who couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his figure was also slim, "Since you have a better choice, you are no longer ready to look back on the past, and you don't want to relive the old dream with that king, why don't you want to give up this hot potato?" You also know that for the sake of the family's honor, for the sake of inheritance and wealth, he will not allow such a thing to disrupt his marriage plans. It's good for everyone to take it out and get it in exchange for a reasonable pay, isn't it? ”
Stabbed by this sentence, Yumi Horikoshi froze in place.
Why? Isn't it because she has no better choice?
What she is really unwilling to do is Nakamichi Kazushi leaving her marriage itself?
No, it's not, it's not just that, her bigger negative emotions come from the fact that she found that she had no way out except for Nakado and Zhi.
Thirty-seven or eighteen years old is considered an older age for a man, but in many industries, this age is still a fighting age, he is a promising criminal policeman, and his boss will hand over his daughter to him, which is enough to explain the problem.
His future is bright, everything is rising, without her, it seems that he will have a better future, a wider world waiting for him, and a new life is within reach.
But what about her? What was she going to do?
Even if under her careful care, her appearance does not look old, but with her current conditions, it seems that it has become a complete luxury to find another marriage partner who is better than Nakado Kazushi.
She is not the real Erin Adler, she is not a legendary singer, she is not the pearl of the Warsaw Empire, and no one will give her a second look when she walks down the street.
At this age, she had to accept her ordinariness, and the departure of Nakado Kazushi only reminded her of this point.
So she couldn't accept that this last choice also left her, and after losing him, she had to admit how mediocre and failed her life had been for more than 30 years.
Seeing that she was silent, the young Kudo and the young man Tang Ze, who caught the old priest and rescued the last trapped person, glanced at each other, and both saw a trace of sympathy in the other party's eyes.
A woman who has failed emotionally, a madman who is full of evil thoughts.
How pathetic, how hateful.
"Give up those pictures, Miss Irene, you still have a husband who loves you, and has a rich property, and if you are worried about being sought revenge by the king or whatever, you can leave London with your husband and find a place where you will not be disturbed for the rest of your life.
"Those photos are sure to sell for a good price and be a starting point for you to start over. It deserves a piece of property, and His Majesty of Bohemia must be willing to pay anything for it. Holmes said earnestly, "If you can trust my character, I can be the intermediary for you, and I will hand over all the wealth to you." ”
Yumi Horikoshi looked at the solemn look on the young man's face through the white veil and was silent.
Holmes waited silently for her answer, and Leon did not bother her, and looked at her in the same silence.
Outside the screen, all the audience watching this drama also waited silently for her answer.
However, the next moment, before Yumi Horikoshi spit out her answer, another bright fire, in the neighborhood not far away, was burning.
Everyone present looked over vigilantly and saw that it was in the direction of Brioni House.
It is also the residence of Erin Adler.
