"You... what did you lie to me?" Sherlock looked at her puzzled and asked, indeed, what he really thought in his heart was that his little sister is already so powerful that she can lie in front of him without being exposed?

Athena did not answer but turned around and went out the door. Sherlock was even more surprised when he flipped through the hospital roster in his hand. He just chased after him and asked, "Athena? What are you talking about? And You handed me this... what is this... St. John's Hospital register..."

He stopped in front of Athena's room, even if he didn't enter the door, he could still hear Athena rummaging through the boxes to find something, of course!Because she knew exactly where the thing she was looking for was, the movement inside stopped soon. Athena opened the door and walked out, holding up the card in her hand.

Athena said calmly: "It's about the case of Catherine's murder!"

But Sherlock asked: "Didn't the newspapers these days already publish the murderer of Whitechapel? Although I missed such a wonderful case, but..."

"It's not that simple!" Athena directly refuted, and explained: "I haven't told you that Catherine was not a random target chosen by Jack the Ripper. He wanted to attract me from the very beginning... and you attention."

Sherlock frowned, and asked: "Forgive me, I didn't understand what you meant! What do you mean... He killed Catherine to attract the attention of 'you'? This 'you' refers to..."

"You and Mycroft! Or the entire Holmes family. Now I want to come to the LV (revenge) left in Catherine's cabin... not for Catherine, but for us."

After Athena handed the card in her hand to Sherlock, she continued: "The murderer Jack clearly met me when we were on the ship. He obviously knew me and talked to me, so he didn't Maybe he didn't know that I belonged to Athena Holmes! But he asked where Miss Holmes was in front of my face? This is illogical!

At that time, I was in a bad mood and my thoughts were confused, so I didn't think much about it.But looking back now, he must have done it on purpose!He approached me again and again, but when I confronted him, he said that he never wanted to kill me, but someone asked him to bring us a message! "

Although Sherlock still couldn't understand what he heard, he was still very patient. After all, he didn't expect her to speak clearly as soon as she opened her mouth based on his understanding of his little sister.

Sherlock asked: "You mean that although the person Jack the Ripper killed was Catherine, all this was done to get your attention, and he was targeting you from beginning to end?"

"I said it's not just me, it's us! All the messages reveal the beginning of a revenge!"

Athena shook her head and said: "Look at the second card, it says - never forget your family! When I was on the deck, Jack the Ripper kept asking me who was in my family." At that time, I thought it was very strange. Aren’t our three brothers and sisters the only relatives in the family besides mom and dad? But he kept forcing me to remember the relatives in the family! This is really strange! "

The gold-plated cover and the curvaceous fonts all made Sherlock feel extremely familiar, but his rationality told him that this was impossible.Sherlock slowly raised the card in his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed lightly, soon even Athena could see that he was flustered.

"what happened?"

Sherlock pressed her shoulders and asked nervously, "What did that person tell you? Tell me the whole thing! Don't miss a single word!"

[I have nothing against you!You are the muse he sent me.I don't want to kill you either. If I want to kill you, do you think you can still live till now?Killing you is not the message I got, the message I got is... to torture you! 】【Holmes!This is His message to you, think about it!What relatives do you have?Revenge is about to begin! ] Almost as soon as Athena finished speaking, Sherlock muttered to himself: "This is impossible! He has been missing for many years, how could it be? And Helena..."

Just listening to these simple words muttered to herself, Athena keenly grasped that there must be another mystery here. Could it be that Colonel Moran has enmity with the Holmes family?Or did the dead Moriarty have an affair with the Holmes family?Or someone else?

"Sherlock! Sherlock! What the hell is going on!" Athena looked at him eagerly, but Sherlock replied coldly: "Listen to me, Athena, don't meddle in this matter! It won't do you any good, leave it to me and Mycroft, don't worry!"

As he said that, he turned around with the card and the roster and was about to leave. Athena quickly chased after him and asked, "Is it true that Jack the Ripper was ordered by someone to take revenge on us?"

"This is far from being called revenge. It's just like Jack the Ripper told you to send a message!" Sherlock sighed slightly, looked at Athena with some confusion and said, "I'm sorry I can't tell you now. Why, I have to discuss this matter with Mycroft before making a decision, besides...whether it is true or not is yet to be verified.”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Watson who was watching from a distance, and then leaned closer to Athena and whispered: "But what is certain is that you are right! This matter is definitely not just about a perverted killer." Simple, there must be someone else behind him."

Sherlock smiled slightly: "I'm glad you have such vigilance and judgment! Therefore, you have to be more careful, stay at home and don't go out casually, leave the investigation to me, and I will also go to the police station for the detailed case I asked Lestrade to understand. Don't worry! With Mycroft and I protecting you, nothing will happen!"

As he spoke, he smiled and did not wait for Athena to answer, so he turned around and was about to leave, but Athena shouted: "There is also the roster in your hand, this is the patient that Jack the Ripper often accompanied as a nurse, I think maybe This can identify the middlemen or behind-the-scenes contacts with Jack the Ripper.

Sherlock!I don't believe that such a perverted murderer would commit suicide so easily, maybe his death is a starting point! "

Hearing this, Sherlock suddenly stopped in his tracks. He frowned and looked at Athena, and said after a long time: "Athena, you really seem to be a different person now than before. If it weren't for this face, I would almost Thought you were someone else!"

Sherlock could keenly perceive that even though Athena was as confused and chaotic as usual when she stated the cause and effect with him, her logic was flawless from beginning to end.Even the death of Jack the Ripper... She could have doubts, this was not the style of her younger sister Hua Ping.

But unfortunately, she does have Athena's face and daily habits!

Athena pretended to be calm, summoned up her courage and just replied: "Don't forget, I have lived alone in Paris for so long, even if I just eat, drink and have fun every day, I have always learned a lot. ! She is no longer the simple and silly lady in the vase in your mind!"

Sherlock nodded, only smiled and said, "You're right!" Then he turned and left.

He walked to the living room and talked with Dr. Watson who had been waiting at the side, gave some instructions, and then left alone. It was the first time that he went out to handle the case without Dr. Watson.

This abnormal behavior made Athena feel that the Sherlock Holmes family must be hiding some secret!

The Helena that Sherlock just mentioned... Could it be that there is an unknown high-functioning sociopathic older sister or younger sister in the family like in "Detective Sherlock"?

"John! John!" Not long after Sherlock left, Mrs. Hudson hurried up from downstairs, and she anxiously called Dr. Watson's name: "John! It's not good! Merlin Na fell ill again, clamoring for some kind of syrup!"

Seeing this, Athena hurried over, and Watson held a bunch of bottles and jars from the kitchen table and said, "Medicine! Take my newly prepared medicine, and feed her the old way!"

Mrs. Hudson quickly took the bottle and said, "Is this possible? The syrup in my factory itself doesn't contain much caffeine, that's why Melina drank so much, not to mention your newly prepared one. There is no coffee | because the ingredients are in it!"

After hearing this, Watson suddenly smiled and asked, "How do you know?"

"Are you still trying to scare me? I've seen that the formula of Mario wine has only removed the alcohol! I'm also half an expert!" Mrs. Hudson took the potion bottle in his hand and hurriedly go downstairs.

"You don't understand this, the main ingredient of Mario wine is coca leaves...not only caffeine, but also caffeine! But because the extraction amount is extremely low, it is very safe and will never be addictive! Moreover, the ingredients in the coca leaf can keep her calm, not to mention I added glucose to it after removing the alcohol, which is only good for Melina’s condition and not bad!"

Athena took the other pills from Watson, and after hearing his words, Athena understood that the potion made by Watson was actually a safe substitute, not only beneficial to Melina's condition but also It acts as a psychological suggestion.

Mrs. Hudson sighed: "It's all the fault of the traffickers, if the girls are kidnapped, they will give them a potion with datura flowers, using this low-cost drug to control the girls, it's really wicked!

When Melina was imprisoned in Scotland Yard before, she had almost quit the potion because she had no access to these potions, but now she is fine... If she hadn’t drank my potion later, maybe she wouldn’t have relapsed! "

Athena patted Mrs. Hudson | too | comforting and said: "It's all the fault of those traffickers, it has nothing to do with you! Besides, John will be able to cure Melina when he comes back!"

The author has something to say: The main story has begun to be revealed!
