[Shenxia] cruel game

After lunch, Aido said goodbye to them and left. Sherlock and John sat in a cafe near the City University.

"Do you need to investigate Aiduo's identity and background? Maybe you can find a flaw." John asked, frowning, probably thinking of what Mary had hidden from him.

He would never have known in his life that Mary was a secret agent.

"No need." Sherlock held his fingertips together and held them in front of his chin. "Aiduo's personal resume is absolutely perfect, and I can't find any problems. It's like a puppet performing on a stage." He murmured and repeated " "Puppet" and then ask, "Who is behind the scenes?"

"Sherlock, are you going to bring out the people behind the scenes?"

"No, Moriarty has already lured him out." Sherlock said with some uncertainty, "but Aido's attitude is really intriguing."

"Aido testing us?" John asked.

"That's right, try and use it." Sherlock was about to get up and leave when the owner of the coffee shop came over and handed Sherlock a gift box half the size of a shoe box, saying, "A gentleman asked me to Turn him over to you."

John raised his eyebrows: "A gift from your admirer?"

"No." Sherlock looked at the box upside down. "There is no card or signature. The wrapping paper and ribbons were full of dust and were wiped clean when packing. The box is very light, so it shouldn't be a bomb." He looked up. Glancing at John, he laughed: "Of course it's unlikely to be gold."

Sherlock took a deep breath and opened the box. Surprisingly, there was only a pile of half-length blond hair inside.

"Oh my God." John raised an eyebrow.

"This is human hair, John." Sherlock picked up a few strands of hair and looked at the light. "Ten inches long, undyed, cut with scissors close to the scalp. Conditioned yesterday." He leaned closer Sniffing the hair, "lush hair conditioner. There is also dust at the end of the hair, which means that the hair was cut off in a place with a lot of dust. The cut was neat, and the other party did not resist."

"But... What do you mean by sending this pile of hair...?"

With a ding dong, Sherlock's cell phone rang, a text message.

Do you like my gift?Game rules: I will send you the fingers of the blonde girl after one hour, the palm after two hours, and the feet after three hours... tear her apart like cutting a puppet~ I hope you can find her soon! -JM

"It's Moriarty." Sherlock put away his phone, "There's only one hour, the game begins."

"Where will there be wrapping paper and ribbons piled up, and there will be a lot of dust, and it's near here?" Sherlock stood in front of the city university, and quickly looked around.

John just called Lestrade, thinking along Sherlock's words: "Uh... gift shop? Stationery store? There will be one near the university."

"Warehouse. It won't be a storefront." Sherlock said, "It's a big store, and there's a warehouse with overstocked goods in the back."

"Start looking now?"

"No, don't worry." Sherlock's light-colored eyes stared at the void in front of him, and his lips squirmed, "Puppet, puppet... Moriarty would not choose to dismember the corpse, but he mentioned puppet, puppet, doll, doll , Adoll..." Sherlock thought in pain for two seconds, his light-colored eyes lit up: "Toy store! A bigger toy store nearby!"

Aiduo stood on the balcony on the second floor of the teaching building, where Jenny was shot, stroking the railing in a daze.After a while, her cell phone rang. She took out the cell phone and took a look, then went down the stairs.

Police officers are busy in the school.A schoolgirl disappeared from class and was found hours later, unconscious and with her hair cut, in a warehouse of debris behind a toy store next to her school.Although she was safe and sound, this incident happened in school, which inevitably made people panic.

A black sedan slid silently to a stop beside her, and the rear door was opened.Aiduo clenched her left hand subconsciously, and then got into the car.

The car speeds down the road.Aido didn't know where the car would go, whether it was the beautiful London countryside or the crematorium billowing with smoke.Her eyes were blindfolded, and there was a person sitting beside her watching her every move.The darkness caused a trace of panic in her heart, and she couldn't suppress it.

The car stopped, and the two untied the black cloth covering Aiduo's eyes, and Aiduo blinked and got out of the car.This should be the outskirts of London. In front of her is an abandoned candy factory.She put her left hand in her clothes pocket and walked into the factory building with no expression on her face.

The sun was shining through the high windows, and the dust was flying in it.A man sat on a chair in the middle of the workshop with a weird and crazy smile on his face.Aiduo stood ten steps away from her, stared at him for a few seconds, then looked up at the factory building.

She didn't speak, it was the man who spoke first.

"Two children almost died here once, and Sherlock saved them."

"Just now there was a girl who was almost cut into pieces like a puppet, and it was Sherlock who saved her."

The end of his speech rose, appearing extremely brisk, as if he was talking about something interesting.

"Mr. Moriarty." Aido interrupted him with a gloomy tone, "I have learned about these deeds from Mr. Watson's blog."

"No, no, no. You won't understand." Moriarty stood up from his chair and paced around the dimly lit factory building with a strange smile on his face, "Your participation complicates the whole game Yes. Baby, you broke the rules of the game."

"It's you who are breaking the rules of the game, Mr. Moriarty. The people you newly recruited were originally loyal to him. You snatched those people away, and he must handle this matter properly." Aiduo sharply Said that a red dot suddenly appeared on her chest, and the sniper rifle was aimed at her.Aiduo sneered, without fear: "You can kill me at any time, because I am a pawn abandoned by him. Killing me is just helping him clean up the garbage."

It may be an accent problem, the word rubbish was bitten heavily by Aiduo.

"Oh, I'm sorry for you." Moriarty grimaced.He walked up to Aiduo, and asked by her ear, "Tell me, what's his name?"

Aiduo stretched out her left hand from her pocket and opened it.There is a word tattooed on her wrist, black, like a centipede winding on her skin.

Gabriel.

Seraphim, Gabriel.

This is the name of that person, Aiduo is just an abandoned child to him, and has no use value, so he pushes her to the forefront, attracts all the firepower, and smashes her to pieces.But Aido must be loyal to him.Because she has a weakness in his hands.

He has the name of the righteous angel Gabriel, but he has the heart of Satan.

"He will not participate in the game between you and Mr. Holmes." Aido said, "When the goal is achieved, he will disappear from your sight."

"God, poor little thing, you don't know him at all," Moriarty lamented pretendingly, "I have a Dark Empire to the west, and he has a Dark Empire to the east, what do we do when we want to expand the territory What to do~" He sang the last few words.

Aiduo's cell phone rang suddenly, and the ringtone was a brisk and beautiful Chinese song (the most dazzling national style).

Aiduo hesitated and didn't answer the phone, letting the female singer with a magnetic and elegant voice sing.

Moriarty snapped his fingers: "Answer the phone, I don't mind a small interruption to our pleasant conversation."

Aido looked at Moriarty with a happy smile on her face, took out the phone from her pocket, and picked it up.The entire call lasted only a dozen seconds, and Aiduo remained silent and expressionless.Moriarty noticed, however, that the light in her eyes dimmed little by little.

Moriarty paced around the factory building and began to whistle.

Moriarty brushed off the creases in his gray suit.

Moriarty looked up at the window and said, "This is the weather."

Aiduo finally hung up the phone with a stiff expression.

"How?" Moriarty whistled.

"You're right...he's coming, he's coming to England." Aiduo said, her voice didn't fluctuate, she just sighed at the end of the sentence.

The third player stepped onto the stage, and the game officially began.

***

After nightfall, the snow in London is getting bigger and bigger.

Aiduo sat quietly on a park bench, letting snowflakes pile up on her hair and shoulders.The night was getting deeper and deeper, the street lights were on, and there were no pedestrians, making the park extremely lonely.

She heard the sound of someone walking towards this side, with steady steps, step by step, imprinted on the snow on the ground.

Aiduo lowered her head, and when the man walked up to her and sat down, she hesitated and said, "I've already killed Atlas, sir."

"Fine. What about the others?"

"I...I will do it as soon as possible, please give me time, sir, I need to get more information about them." Aiduo said tremblingly, not daring to look at the other party.

The sound of the man breathing next to her ear was long and even, as if he was in a deep sleep, without any deterrent effect.However, Aido knew that in fact——far from it.

"Ed." She heard the person calling her name, "You have to remember, Jenny will not be the first."

"Sir, please..."

"You can't make up your mind to betray me, and you can't make up your mind to clean up the traitor. Ed, it's really a mistake for you to sit here now."

After the man finished speaking slowly, he stood up again, patted the snow off his body, left unhurriedly, and disappeared into the heavy snow.Aiduo sat on the bench blankly, turned his face to the side of his back in a white coat under the streetlight, lowered his eyes, and saw the things he put on the bench.

A puppet with a blank, stiff smile.Aido reached out to take the puppet, and there was no blood on her face.
