Moriarty let the two of them roll over, and this rollover lasted for two months.

Without the assignment from the boss, Ye Liang is passively slowing down while dealing with the backlog of official duties from the previous vacation. Why do you need to be so subjective and proactive when working for a criminal organization?However, at least on the face of it, Moriarty will not come to settle accounts with him.

Two months was enough for Ye Liang to adapt to life in the UK, and it was also enough for his wound to heal.

On this day, he took his umbrella and walked to the Reichsbank two streets away to deposit the certificate.This bank is Moriarty's designated partner, and the security conditions are first-class.Not only criminal emperors, but even aristocratic dignitaries like to store things here. From world famous paintings to antique gems, Moriarty has hidden a lot of "good things" in this bank.

The weather in the UK is cloudy and cloudy, so regardless of whether it rains or not, the umbrella cannot be taken away from the body, and the air still carries the damp breath of last night's heavy rain. As soon as he passed the security guard and walked in with the umbrella, he saw a man in a windbreaker The tall, thin, curly-haired man was venomously attacking the general manager of the bank, and the short, blond man next to him couldn't bear to look straight at him.

"Oh, eon, Peter, tell me, you're not that stupid, isn't it obvious that your thinker statues won't be vandalized because of Mrs. House, your brain is for display except when counting money... ..."

"Sherlock!" The little blond man yelled unbearably, interrupting the personal attack that his partner was about to spit out.

This scene is so interesting, Ye Liang held his briefcase, looked up, and met those gray-green eyes.Immediately, Ye Liang felt a sense of discomfort, as if those inorganic eyes could see his soul beyond his body.

Ah, hallucinations?Ye Liang shook his head, walked to the counter, and finished today's work.

The accident happened at this time. Several people wearing ghost masks walked in with guns. Before the security guards had time to react, they knocked down all the security guards and the morning shift manager who stepped forward to intercept them, but did not kill them.And with the gunshot, the bank lobby was filled with screams for a while.

Ye Liang covered his head and squatted down, just in time to see the general manager of the bank with his legs trembling, and the small blond man next to him pulled the black curly-haired man to squat down, and then was pointed at by the gangster with a gun, moved to the front of the counter and squatted down, Just next to Ye Liang.

"Oh, hi." The black curly-haired man even greeted Ye Liang with a half-smile.

The blond guy pulls his partner desperately, is this the time to make friends and chat?John Watson deeply regrets that he made two fatal mistakes in his life: first, he shouldn't be dragged around by Sherlock Holmes, and second, he shouldn't forget to bring his gun when he goes out!He already knew that there would be no danger one day following Sherlock!

Having said that, when the muzzle of the gangster's gun moved over, Watson subconsciously stood in front of Sherlock.

"Shut up, be honest." The other party threatened roughly, his voice was low, but he didn't use a voice changer.

It stands to reason that the gangsters should take the money and leave as soon as possible at this time, but this group of people did not. Instead, they dispersed as planned, standing in various key positions of the bank, as if they were waiting for the police to come to their door.

Sherlock's gray-green eyes stared at everything in front of him, and recorded the observed information into his thinking palace one by one.On the other side, Ye Liang squatted a little uncomfortable, pulled the blond man's clothes in a low voice, and said, "I'm William Cato, I just saw you and the general manager talking about the statue being smashed?"

"John Watson, this is Sherlock Holmes, he is the only and best consulting detective in the UK. Yes, we were commissioned by the general manager of the bank to investigate the case of the sculpture of the thinker being smashed two days ago. Unexpectedly ..."

"Shhh, shut up, John, you're making me think." The curly-haired man said without turning his head. Watson rolled his eyes unceremoniously, but shut his mouth obediently, and signaled Ye Liang to do the same. Be quiet.

Ye Hao blinked at him curiously, and John smiled apologetically.

Sirens sounded from outside the bank, and Scotland Yard was dispatched. The police shouted inside with a loudspeaker, but the gangsters were unmoved, did not make any demands, and did not hurt the hostages. They did not know what they were waiting for.

Unknowingly it was noon, Ye Liang looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the bank, feeling a little hungry, but the kidnappers looked like they were going to confront the police until the end of time, and let the loudspeaker outside shout, these Nobody was moving.

After another half an hour, it started to rain outside again. The leader of the bandit answered the call from the police. It turned out to be a woman. This time, she directly expressed her appeal. She told Scotland Yard that she and her gang were not for robbery Or murder, they did it just to protest. A previous wealth management product of the Imperial Bank defrauded many people of their deposits. This incident was just on the news a while ago, and it was quite a big commotion, but it finally disappeared.

"We ask the Imperial Bank to publicly apologize to the victims, and we demand a just trial, not the protection of politicians and officials, otherwise we will never release the hostages." After the female leader finished speaking, she hung up the phone unceremoniously.

The hostages who heard these words talked a lot, complaining that the Imperial Bank was incompetent and involved them. Only Sherlock Holmes didn't say anything, his eyes swept from one end to the other.

Probably because they were not vicious gangsters, seeing the panicked appearance of the hostages, the female leader and the members whispered twice, and the latter actually took the snacks placed by the counter by the bank and distributed them to the hostages.

"It's their fault, and they're doing it for justice." "Yeah, I hope the Imperial Bank apologizes sooner." The hostages talked a lot, and some even smiled at the gangsters and handed them part of the snacks in their hands.

Watson frowned, knowing something was wrong, Ye Liang asked, "Stockholm?"

"Probably so." As soon as the military doctor finished speaking, he realized that it was not Sherlock who was talking to him, but the gray-eyed Mr. William Cato. He forced a smile, "These hostages have Stockholm symptoms. .”

"Speaking of which, what happened to the statue of the Thinker being smashed?" Ye Liang asked after taking a bite of the candy.

Watson glanced at his little friend, and found that Sherlock didn't pay attention to him at all, but was thinking about something, so he turned around and whispered to Ye Liang: "What happened two days ago, after the bank closed, the patrolling night security guards heard something, When I pressed the alarm to check, I found that a statue of a meditator in the lobby was broken, but no one was seen. But the general manager of the bank was very worried. In theory, no one should be able to enter after closing the door. How did the other party get in? How did it disappear? Why smash a statue that doesn’t have much money, and he’s also worried that someone with a grudge wants to get revenge on the bank.”

"Is he sure no one can get in? Not even the staff?"

"Everyone who entered had to swipe their employee cards and fingerprints, and there was no record in the system that day."

"Could it be that the security guards guarded themselves at night?"

"Impossible, the bank is worried that this kind of thing will happen, so the security guards at night are in teams of two, just to supervise each other. When changing shifts during the day, they have to be checked by the manager of the morning shift. Besides, why do the security guards call?" Broken statue?"

Because of work resentment, do you dislike this meditator?

"That's really weird." The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, Ye Liang looked at the water droplets falling on the window, and really felt that the police in Scotland Yard outside were really miserable.

More than ten minutes passed, probably the Imperial Bank finally couldn't bear the pressure of entertainment. In order to protect the hostages, it decided to call the media and the gangsters to apologize publicly. The mayor of London also came forward and said that he would seriously handle the previous economic case again. , they will not shield criminals, but if innocent, they will not be pressured by kidnappers to abandon the law.

In this regard, the female leader agreed, saying that what she wanted was the right that "the weak can be valued". The kidnapped hostages also nodded in agreement.

Sherlock sneered, very disdainful.

The request was met, the female leader kept her word, asked her subordinates to take off their masks, put down their weapons, release the hostages, and surrendered to Scotland Yard.

The media swarmed in, the injured were sent for treatment, and the police immediately took over the hostages. They wanted to appease the overly frightened people, but they didn't want the latter to be ungrateful. Instead, they interceded for the kidnappers in front of the media.

"Except for the security guard and the manager at the beginning, they didn't hurt anyone and cared about us."

"This is an unfortunate incident, but this misfortune is caused by the Reichsbank!"

Watson frowned, but didn't say anything. On the contrary, a police officer in Scotland Yard saw Sherlock and waved his hand immediately: "How are you?" His tone was very familiar, covered in rain, but it sounded like Care about Sherlock and John's elders.

Sherlock still looked disdainful to talk to ordinary people. Lestrade was used to his impoliteness and didn't take it seriously at all. He took a few emergency blankets from his colleagues and handed them to a few people. When his eyes touched Ye Liang, he slipped one in and asked, "Who is this?"

"William Cato, we just met." John introduced, being both hostages, this kind of experience is rare, and quickly drew him into the relationship with Ye Liang, and the two felt like friends at first sight.

"What time is it?" Ye Liang suddenly asked this nonsensical question.

"Is there something urgent for you? It's okay, you register your information, and the police will ask you to take notes later." Lestrade seemed easy to speak.

However, Sherlock's eyes suddenly fell on Ye Liang, and his voice was calm and magnetic: "Twelve twenty."

Ye Liang raised his eyebrows, and asked John again: "How tall is the statue of the thinker?"

"Less than seven feet... I'll look at the notes." "Six and a half feet (two meters)." It was Sherlock's calm voice again.

Ye Liang thought about it for a while, as if he understood something, he smiled at Sherlock Holmes: "I will cooperate with the police in the future, there are still some business matters to be dealt with here, I will take a step first, this is my phone number."

He and John exchanged cell phone numbers, then nodded to Sherlock, and said, "Hurry up, they'll have to run away if it's late."

Sherlock smirked: "Don't worry, I can't run away, I sent a text message to the police and asked them to stop those two people."

Lestrade felt ominous in his heart, touched his pocket, damn it, his phone was gone, he glared at Sherlock angrily: "Give me back the phone, and what did you do in my name?!! "

The word "again" summed up Lestrade's infinite bitterness in these years.

"It's nothing, I just let your stupid men arrest the morning manager and a security guard." Sherlock smirked, pointing at Ye Liang and said, "Even he knows why, don't tell me, Scotland Yard is still stupid Nothing."

Lestrade: My heart is so tired and numb, I feel like I will never love again.
