Holmes's work efficiency is scary, and when he had breakfast the next morning, he had already got Tie Qingyu's contact information, and contacted Tie Qingyu himself very efficiently, telling her the cause and effect in a few words, and even the meeting place had been booked.

By the time Ponchet sat down at the table, all he had to do was show up for his appointment.

After breakfast, the two set off together, and three hours later, Pang Xie arrived at the meeting place as scheduled.

To his surprise, the meeting place was not near Cornell University, where Tie Qingyu studied, but near the Royce Building in Manhattan, because the Royce Building is the headquarters of the most famous newspaper in the entire metropolis, the Planet Daily.

Tie Qingyu, who majored in journalism and communication, has recently been working as an intern at the Daily Planet with several of her partners, and has launched an ambitious project to uncover a big story.

Not far from the Royce Building, there is a coffee shop called Blue Horn, which is the meeting place they have booked.

When Ponsei and Holmes entered the store, it was exactly 12:15 a.m., fifteen minutes before the meeting time.

The two chose a window seat and waited quietly for the arrival of the iron light rain.

Five minutes later, the door of the café was pushed open, and the figure of Tie Qingyu appeared outside the café door.

Pang Xie recognized Tie Qingyu at a glance, not only because of her Chinese appearance, but also because of a temperament and taste, a temperament very similar to Tie Xingyun, with a grassland atmosphere, at a glance, you know that the two are related by blood.

Tie Qingyu did not come alone, she was followed by two young men, one was slightly shorter, but he looked nimble and very agile, and the other looked very sturdy, with a calm demeanor and sharp eyes, reminiscent of a hunter who catches his prey.

"Hello, is it Tie Qingyu?" Pang Xie got up and greeted him.

"Yes, you are Mr. Pang?" Tie Qingyu nodded, looking at Pang Xie curiously.

"It's me, please be seated. Ponsie leaned slightly, made a gesture of invitation, motioned for the three to sit down first, and at the same time introduced to the three men: "This is my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. ”

"Hello. Tie Qingyu nodded, and also introduced to Pang Xie, "This is my classmates at Cornell University, 'Little Crawler' Parker and 'Wolf Slow' Logan, who interned with me at the Planet Daily. ”

"Holmes, you're Detective Holmes in Brooklyn?" called out Parker, the shorter of the two, in surprise.

"You know me?" Holmes looked up, giving him a listless look.

"Of course, you're the most legendary detective in the entire Met, and I have a friend who is a police officer who adores you and records every case you've helped with at the Met, and I've seen your picture at his house!" Parker said, leaning over and starry eyes, like a star chaser looking at an idol.

"Hmm. Holmes didn't say much, just nodded.

"You worship idols, let's go back, today we are here to accompany Tie Qingyu to see this gentleman. Logan chimed in.

"OK, I'm so excited. Parker smiled awkwardly and sat down.

"Hello, Mr. Pang, Mr. Holmes told me on the phone that you are my relatives and friends in China, is that the case?" asked Tie Qingyu.

"That's right. Ponche nodded.

"This ...... It's not that I don't believe it, it's just a little unbelievable, after all, after so many years, and tens of thousands of kilometers apart, the probability of finding a person is too small, after all, I also tried to find my family in China before, but unfortunately there is no news at all. Tie Qingyu said.

"I did spend a lot of money to find you, and I was lucky to be able to find you. Ponsie said.

"Well, that'...... Why are you here? and my family?" Tie Qingyu asked the key question, her hands trembling slightly, and she could see that she was very nervous.

"It's a long story, let me tell you slowly. Ponsie said.

"It's okay, I've taken a leave of absence for the afternoon, you can tell me everything. Tie Qingyu said.

Pang Xie sighed softly, and Tie Xingyun's face suddenly flashed in front of him, and he talked from the first time the two met, until Tie Xingyun died at the hands of Jung in the end.

Of course, many of these changes have been made, for example, Palau has become Siam's big drug lord, Suchai has become a government official who colludes with drug lords, and Jung has become a killer sent by European criminal organizations.

As for Tie Xingyun, his identity has not changed, and he is still a best-selling author with a strong sense of justice.

"When he died before my eyes, my last words to me were that I wanted me to find his sister and take care of her. Ponsie said.

After listening to the whole story, Tie Qingyu's eyes gradually reddened, and tears swirled in her eyes, but she was a very strong girl, blinked hard, and held back the tears.

"This is your brother's last photo" Pang Xie took a photo out of his arms, put it in front of Tie Qingyu, and continued: "As for your parents, they died long before I knew your brother, and I don't have a photo of them. ”

This photo was taken by Tie Xingyun before he died, although the appearance of the two is not particularly similar, but the temperament is amazingly similar, as long as you look at it, you will not doubt whether the two are related by blood.

"I ......" Tie Qingyu gently picked up the photo, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then carefully put it away, tears kept falling on the table like beads of broken threads.

"Miss Tie, your brother is now buried in Nanzhaozhou, Huaguo, if you are not busy, I hope you can go back to see him, this is also his last wish. Ponsie said.

"I miss him very much......" Tie Qingyu gradually stopped crying, and said: "But not now, there are about two months left, after completing the project at hand, I can complete my studies, and then I want to return to China for a while, in addition to visiting my brother, and then go to the Yunzhou grassland to walk around and find other old people." ”

"Okay. Ponsei sighed, and sure enough, Holmes was right, and it seemed that he would have to live here for a while.

"It won't take so long, let's work harder, maybe it will be done in a month, and then we will be able to graduate. "Little reptile," Parker said.

"Well, I think so too. Logan said.

"By the way, what are you doing, or I can do it with you. Ponsie said.

"That's right, we found a file in the library of Cornell University, in the history of the metropolis, there is a mysterious rumor, it is said that there is a dark blood hidden here, secretly controlling everything in the city, our graduation thesis is to find this blood family, and then through the newspaper, let everyone know the actual situation of this family. Parker said without hesitation.

"Hehe, Bloodline...... Then you have to be careful, there are many people in this city who have your ideas, but unfortunately they have not succeeded......" Holmes suddenly interjected.

"Did anyone else ask for it?" did they give up?" asked Parker.

"They all died in the end. Holmes said.

"......" Parker was speechless.

When Pang Xie heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, for him, the blood clan was not a simple term, but a real dark force.

Just when there was silence at the table, someone suddenly greeted him in a deep voice: "Hi, Light Rain, Parker, Logan, are you coming out for coffee at noon?"

Ponsei followed the sound and saw a tall white man in his thirties, greeting them with coffee, dark brown hair similar to Holmes's, wearing a pair of thick glasses, looking polite, and a stack of newspapers under his armpit.

"Oh, teacher, let's accompany Tie Qingyu to meet a few friends. Parker hurriedly stood up, greeted the man first, then turned back to Ponsei and Holmes, and said, "This is the senior of our newspaper. ”

After listening to the introduction, the white man turned his head to look at Ponsie and Holmes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly laughed, and said: "Hello, two, I know you, Mr. Holmes, you are a celebrity in the Metropolis, and this gentleman from Huaguo, we meet for the first time." ”

"Hello, Ponche. Pang Xie stood up and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Hello, Clark Kent. ”
