[Shenxia] cruel game

At seven o'clock in the evening, Aiduo walked out of the subway station with her bag on her back, when her phone rang.She picked it up, said a few words in Chinese, then hung up the phone, with a tired look on her face, and walked all the way to the gate of 250 Baker Street, she was full of thoughts.

She took out the key and poked it into the lock, and was about to open the door, when she stared at the crack of the door and froze.Sherlock hid behind the signboard placed at the entrance of a restaurant not far from her, and saw her showing a shocked and frightened expression.She looked around, bit her lip, and suddenly turned and ran quickly down the street.

"Catch up." Sherlock pulled John up beside him.

Aido's speed is astonishingly fast, but she has no purpose and doesn't know where she is going.So she only rushed two blocks before sitting slumped on a bench on the street, panting heavily with her head bowed.

"Can't the key open the door again?" Sherlock approached Aiduo slowly, and asked in a low voice, as if it was just out of concern for the neighbors.

Aido brushed away the long hair that was blocking her ears, and looked up at Sherlock. She was still smiling, but the smile seemed bitter and forced: "I'd rather just not be able to open the door, Sherlock."

"If you don't mind, maybe I can arrange another accommodation for you," Sherlock said.

"No, no." Aido's face was very pale, "Thank you, Sherlock, and John. Thank you, let me stay here alone. And..." She hesitated, "I wish you happiness .”

John couldn't help turning his head away, rolling his eyes at the night street.But Sherlock smiled and didn't contradict her.

"It's useless for you to do this, Aido." Sherlock said, "Even if you sit on the street with the courage to die, it doesn't mean that he will make your death look better, or let your parents go."

The last blood on Aiduo's face also disappeared, her expression was a little panicked, her eyes hidden behind the plain mirror looked at Sherlock inquiringly, and Sherlock returned a reassuring smile.A few seconds later, Aido coughed and stood up from the chair.

"You're right, it's useless for me to do this."

She took out her phone from her pocket, and after sending a text message, she returned to the operating system, hovered her finger over an icon on the screen, and looked at Sherlock: "Will you help me?"

The corner of Sherlock's mouth raised slightly imperceptibly: "I'm so happy. Not only me, but the whole of Scotland Yard."

Aiduo's fingertips fell, she tapped the icon lightly, and the screen of the phone went black.

"Let's go." Sherlock shrugged. "In other words, Baker Street is no longer suitable for going back."

Aido crossed her arms, bowed her head and walked with the two of them on the streets of London at night until John broke the silence.

"What was the app you clicked on your phone just now?"

"Oh... that." There was a smile on Aiduo's pale face, "Those who interfere with the signal can temporarily make him unable to locate my location and find me. The program is compiled by myself, I like it Develop Android apps."

"It's amazing." Sherlock said, his tone was a little hasty, "Aiduo, you also saw it, and now he is going to kill you, and you are on the same line with us again, tell us everything you know."

Aiduo took a deep breath, looking at the warm orange light of the street lamp.She said: "I don't understand how you know he's going to kill me, even though he's going to have to get rid of me sooner or later. When I got home and opened the door today, I found a spring under the door, and the handle didn't feel the same... This is his usual trick..."

"There's a gun in there, and as soon as you pull the door open, you pull the spring that connects the trigger to the doorknob, and the bullets will come straight at you." Sherlock continued for her, "He did it this way. A few politicians from Eastern Europe, I happened to be there at the time... er, traveling. So I heard about it."

Aiduo nodded slightly, when her cell phone rang, it was a text message.When she opened the text message, two lines of Chinese flashed on the screen with a white background, and Aiduo's face was reflected from the bottom up, making her look very strange.In her two-way deep and calm eyes, something sparkled suddenly.

It's tears.Aiduo tried her best not to let the tears flow out.I don't know how long it took, she took off her glasses, wiped her eyes, and looked sideways at Sherlock: "Can you grant me one wish? I only have this wish."

Sherlock shrugged, "Happy to oblige."

"Sherlock's gone crazy," Mycroft said, sitting in his office, putting a donut back on the china dessert plate, staring at the laptop screen, the message sent to him by the person monitoring Sherlock, " At nine o'clock in the evening, he rented a car and left London with two people on board, did he forget that his driver's license has been revoked?"

Inspector Lestrade, who was sitting across from him, frowned: "Yes, Dr. Watson is also in the car, and there is a girl... I remembered, she was a witness to a school shooting. Oh ," he looked at the orange words next to the real-time message in surprise, "It turns out that she is under secondary surveillance, and it seems that the background is not simple."

"Her files in China can't find any clues, so I can only monitor it first." Mycroft passed the phone to Lestrade across the table, and it showed the text message he and Sherlock just sent:

- Is it fun to go out for a drive around town in the middle of the night? m

Sherlock replied: I went to Plymouth to investigate the case. S

"See, Greg," Mycroft said, taking a breath and smirking, "he's always been like this."

"I'll send someone to Plymouth immediately." Lestrade took out his phone.

"Wait a minute." Mycroft pressed Lestrade's wrist, "I have already sent someone there, in order to prevent our people from conflicting, I suggest you send someone to guard the road to Plymouth, maybe soon, Two distinguished guests are traveling from London to enjoy the idyllic scenery."

***

09:30 in the evening.

"You're speeding, Sherlock." John sat in the passenger seat, staring at the dashboard on the right, reminding.

"It doesn't matter, my driver's license has been revoked anyway." Sherlock whistled, "I can drive to Plymouth in four hours, Aido, I think this time is enough time for you to tell a story."

"Well... yes." Aido sighed softly, "Let's start with the man in Plymouth."

***

The guy who lived in Plymouth... I knew him a long time ago, when I was in junior high, he was my math teacher and I was always good at math because of him.

His name is Zhao Ruyun, yes, the same surname as Wuyun Zhao on the list provided by Benson, because they are brothers.Wu Yun is an older brother.

In short, I fell in love with him later, and I think he also liked me, maybe not as strongly as I loved him.At that time, he was 25 or [-] years old, unmarried, and liked me very much. He gave me lectures after class, helped me with my homework, took a walk with me, and bought me cakes for my birthday.I have always loved him, even after I learned the true identities of the two brothers: they are both Gabriel's right-hand men, Zhao Wuyun is a killer, Zhao Ruyun is a hacker, and I still love him.

You know, it was 2006 at that time, teacher-student love was always criticized, but I still love Zhao Ruyun, because we were all careful, so we were not discovered.

In 2008, when I was in high school, I went to Kazakhstan with Zhao Ruyun one summer vacation without telling my parents, where I met Gabriel for the first time.

"How dare he take you to meet Gabriel?" John asked in disbelief.

"At that time, Gabriel was going to carry out...something like a personnel reorganization. Kick out unqualified subordinates, kill those who are untrustworthy, and recruit those who are capable." Aiduo said sadly, "So I chose Kazakhstan. There were a lot of people, from all over the world, and almost everyone was accompanied by girls, and some even brought supermodels and actors.”

"Zhao Ruyun has plans to quit. He wants to live a normal life, instead of invading various databases, and may be checked by the water meter at any time... Sorry, just being arrested and taken to the police station for tea."

"Gabriel agreed, but his condition is that you join?" Sherlock asked.

Aido looked into Sherlock's eyes from the rearview mirror with some surprise, and nodded: "Yes."

"Why?" John couldn't help interjecting, "At that time, you were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and you were not yet an adult."

"John, so you can't be the head of a criminal gang," Sherlock said. "You miss out on a hacker, a master hypnotist, a high-level cover, and a good sidekick who can act as a killer if necessary."

Aiduo smiled wryly: "Thank you, Sherlock. I did it voluntarily, it can be said... also for Zhao Ruyun. His brother helped him change his identity, changed his name and surname, and lived in Plymouth. He boarded the board in a hurry. I hadn’t seen him for five or six years. Since then, we’ve only been in touch occasionally because his brother warned me not to have anything to do with him.”

"What did Gabriel ask you to do?"

Aiduo closed her eyes and shook her head, unwilling to answer this question.

"Then why did Gabriel want to kill you?" John changed the subject and asked, "I'm sorry I'm being blunt. For him, you are still very useful."

Aiduo said: "I'm not very clear, maybe it can be explained by Gabriel's moodiness. He is a very perverted person, very...very cruel." She tried hard to think of a suitable adjective, "I don't like he."

"What a pity," said Sherlock. "Obviously, Aido, he doesn't hate you, but he loves you."

From the rearview mirror, John saw Aido's expression of surprise to the point of losing his composure for the first time.However, her surprise was only fleeting, and she immediately denied: "Impossible."

"What's impossible? You said he was a moody pervert." Sherlock said, holding the steering wheel firmly.
