[Comprehensive] The Great Devil

The next day, unsurprisingly, "London's Most Famous Consulting Detective Proposes to Sierra Jones!" was the news that decimated the headlines of every major newspaper.The paparazzi of each team squatted like crazy under their apartment and in front of the door, wanting to get follow-up news as soon as possible.But what is disappointing is that from early morning to late at night, they never saw the person take a step out of the door, and the curtains in the room were tightly drawn, blocking the malicious eyes of all prying eyes.

——While people from all walks of life are squatting at the garrison point, in a cafe on a corner outside Santiao Street, two people are sitting at the round table in the most inconspicuous corner. If the customers around them are more careful, they will find this It is the rumored men and women who have been in the limelight recently, Sherlock Holmes and Sierra Jones himself.

How to go out is indeed a big problem. It took the two of them a lot of effort, but fortunately, they finally managed to reach the destination without attracting anyone's attention, and started a tacit negotiation.

The first to score is the female player Sierra.

"You shouldn't have done that," the actress who has repeatedly made headlines in the past month said slowly, holding a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, with a kind of afterthought, "now the whole of Britain knows Sherlock Holmes' apartment There is a handmade rug that is worth a lot of money." She was laughing at his confusion at the time.

The detective wears a deerstalker hat that can almost cover most of his face but not his chin. He spends most of his time looking out the window, observing the people coming and going, subconsciously guessing passers-by from the passing details With his identity and past, this is a reflexive behavior, and he can't order himself to stop.

Sherlock Holmes will inevitably give in psychologically because of the previous actions of using Sera, so he did not look directly into her eyes, but simply said, "I just save you other complicated steps, you should I'm right to be grateful."

As soon as the news came out, he believed that the mysterious investor would no longer just use Sera as a mouthpiece. The other party obviously had a strong interest in him. It would be best to turn to him.

By the way, it can solve the hotel murder case that has been considered an unsolved case so far.

"Oh? Really?" Sierra leaned back in her chair with a half-smile, "But as your new 'fiancée', I'm not even sure about my future husband's true sexual orientation. I really failed."

"People always like to capture those conjectures that are more beneficial to their own guesses," Sherlock Holmes' tone was still calm, unmoved by the overwhelming scandals outside, "You have done an excellent job in guiding their public opinion. .” He mocked flatly.

"It's not my fault, Sherlock," Serra's address changed, and she was apparently fine with it, even laughing, "You attract murderers, perverts, and terrorists—compared to I'm the victim, am I not?"

Sherlock suddenly turned his head, stared at her, and asked, "Are you?"

Sera raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you prove my innocence yourself?"

Sherlock pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly changed the subject, "The deceased in the hotel murder case, your former colleague—how much do you know about him?"

Sera's eyes changed slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "You know, I suffer from severe male phobia, how much can I know about a person who has bad intentions for me?"

Bad intentions—what a suggestive word.What does a withdrawn woman who suffers from androphobia face coercion and assault after being knocked on the door by a malevolent adult man?

Do you choose to endure helplessly and helplessly, or fight back in a rage after being stimulated?

Sierra Jones... Jones... Sierra... Sierra.

Sherlock couldn't restrain his eyes from falling on her, but his doubts grew more and more—he was almost sure that the woman in front of him killed the male number one, judging from the information he had gotten in contact with during the past few days , she undoubtedly has the ability to kill a person, cover up traces, bury the truth, divert attention, and blame others.Yes, the woman in front of me can do that easily.But judging from the information given by Mycroft, the former Sierra Jones clearly lacked the means of committing crimes and such a meticulous and terrifying style of acting—could this woman really undergo such a big change before and after?

Which link went wrong?

He had an intuition that she was the murderer, but he lacked effective evidence. Even if he "fished and enforced the law", he believed that this woman would be able to see through the scam he designed, and she would not be fooled, so she confessed her guilt so easily.

Sherlock Holmes investigated the deceased. The number one male used to be an actor in the UK. He was a second-generation rich man with acting skills. He was good at the role of a tough guy. No. [-] has attracted countless fans, has a very good reputation outside the circle, and has a bright future.But only a few people know that this person loves to eat weeds, and likes to touch every beautiful actress who cooperates with him, especially those whose fame and resources are not as good as his. He often uses this to lure those female stars to cooperate with him. The perverted sex-addiction-goodness, on the surface, he has to pretend to be happy with each other and cooperate happily.There are countless new stars in the industry who have been involved by him, some of them quit the entertainment industry because of this, but more of them chose to hold back because of his family background, and the other party became more and more aggressive, until they met Sierra Jones. ——

All in all, the deceased was not a good person. According to the law, he would even be imprisoned for many years for rape and violence. He was undoubtedly an out-and-out scum.It is understandable that Sierra Jones was desperate to kill the killer, but this cannot deny the fact that she tried to hide from the sky and get away with it after taking her life.

But her scene was so perfect that Sherlock couldn't find any more powerful evidence to overthrow her.She even allowed the rarely-erring consulting detective to be misled by her to reason in the exact opposite direction when they first met.This is really an unprecedented first time.

Although Sherlock corrected his judgment in time when they met for the second time, he acquiesced to the other party's approach afterwards because he wanted to find her flaws.But the more familiar he was with the other party and the more carefully he observed, he realized that this was really a tricky person.

Compared with the rumored Serra Jones, it is simply the gap between an isolated island on the surface of the water and the [-]-meter deep sea.

He can guarantee that Sierra can escape the murder perfectly, and she has an inseparable relationship with her sponsor.

But now the key point is that he has to find the character who connects everything: Chloe-of course, it is more likely that she is no longer alive.Or to come up with something simpler, let the murderer confess.It's actually not that difficult. Smart people are always so arrogant that they almost disdain to cover up the truth. They will admit to the crime very straightforwardly, or at least make obvious hints in the details—just like Serra did before. .

— "Have you ever tried to climb a mountain with your bare hands, Sherlock Holmes?"

——"The interesting thing is that falling does not kill people, people fall to death."

- "What does 'me' look like?"

—Barbara Moane, Chloe.These are the murderer's names.her name.

—“Acting?—Practice makes perfect.”

——"The more mysterious a woman is, the easier it is to be conquered."

——"Did you know that a person like you can easily attract three similar types: murderers, perverts, and terrorists."

——"Which one do I look more like in your eyes?"——More like rather than more, this is a hint.

——"The ultimate pursuit of our kind of people-playing a completely different person, finding your own limit, and then breaking through it."

"Why do you do something you don't like at all?" — "To calm the soul for a while."

Why would she need peace of mind if she wasn't a murderer?

——Because she was burdened with an inescapable crime.

— "Who am I, Sherlock Holmes?"

— "I don't know. So who are you?"

- "Sierra".

No Jones.

Sierra.Just Sierra.

Sherlock remembered that she peeked at his Facebook post in the early morning of Christmas. There was only a photo of his side face on it. The light was captured densely and ambiguously, making his gaze into the distance seem to soften, kind of The warm atmosphere of Christmas Eve.And she only added one sentence to this photo: S&H.

Sera & Holmes.

Generally speaking, most people will use "S&S" to represent Sera&Sherlock, or J&H to represent Jones&Holmes.But she uses the odd combination of first name and last name like S&H.

So, this is also a hint?Why did she put so much emphasis on her first name instead of her last name?

Wasn't her real last name Jones?Or is there another secret?

She had hinted at what she had done as obvious, but Sherlock still couldn't find a convincing enough point to connect all of this.Just short of that! ——He can piece together all the truth and find the answer!Just that!

He thought back to the two stabs on the deceased's body: the first stab was caused by impromptu inexperience and a little flustered, so the degree of penetration was very shallow; while the second stab was completely different, more precise and faster, with a certain This kind of extremely skilled and unhesitating cruelty and cruelty is obviously done by people who are more experienced and familiar with human organs, and this is the fatal injury that really kills the male number one.As if the murderer was really her, then what happened in the two cuts with such a huge difference made her seem to be a completely different person—from a victim to a murderer.

How did she do it?

Split personality? — No, it's not like, it doesn't conform to its typical characteristics.

Temperament changes only after being stimulated? ——No, stimulation only brings out the hidden nature of people, but her profile is not similar to the characteristics she is showing at the moment, and in fact, she does not conform to any precedents he has seen or heard.

It seems that the possibility of finding her flaw may be very small.It would be easier for her to confess her guilt voluntarily.

Sherlock thought about it for a few seconds, then looked at her, his eyes focused and deep.

"Why not deny it?" he asked.He didn't say what it was, but the other party knew very well that it could only be the big news that was released today.

The importance of reputation to an actor is self-evident, especially for women. The moral bottom line they stand on is always higher than others, and they are more likely to be criticized by the public.And she was actually willing to carry out his ridiculous scandal plan, and she didn't refute it, and she was quite cooperative - any fool knows how much a popular female star's sudden engagement news will have a great impact on her future, but she There is no denying this in the slightest.

"I thought you'd be more interested in Mycroft." Sherlock looked at her.What he said was what he was thinking at the moment, this woman was more than just the type who only looked at appearances, and she was obviously impressed by the first meeting with Mycroft, and her evaluation was only high or low.

And she also knew that Mycroft was the smarter, more powerful, more challenging one, so...why him?

In this regard, Sera started with a very faint smile, and said to him like this——

"Because I know what it's like to be alone, Sherlock," she said calmly, "just like you, many times people like you need 'a challenging case' to live a normal life, and I do too. I will keep looking for every 'case' that belongs to me until I get an answer."

"Why not Mycroft?—very simple. There are still obvious differences between you."

Sherlock was instantly attracted by this sentence, he couldn't help pricking up his ears, leaned closer, stared at her, and focused on the next answer.

Serra smiled slightly. "Mycroft? He's more self-controlled. And you... you're kinder."

……Kind?It was a brand new term for him.

"What else?" He asked impatiently.

"He is more like a god without desire, but you are a living person."

Sherlock was slightly taken aback.

Sera continued on his own, "Mycroft can live well even if there is no one around him, but you, Sherlock...you need loyal companionship, like an alarm bell ringing in your ears all the time."

Sherlock watched her with an indescribable gaze.

Serra: "A man like Mycroft, when climbing a snow-capped mountain, he will not look around, and there is very little that can stop him from reaching the top; and Sherlock, he will not look around for the snow to cover him behind him." Teammates stopped and even looked back."

"Mycroft fits perfectly into this place, and you, Sherlock Holmes... to your friends, you are the world's most unexpected gift, because you can never fully fit into it, so you always remain Curiosity, and an unquenchable passion."

Mycroft is the Iceman.Sherlock has a fire in his heart.

And she needs this kind of heat to ignite.

On Sherlock Holmes, you can always see a prairie fire burning on the battlefield.

The consulting detective took a deep breath, for the depth of her simple words, for the fact that she was able to see so many obvious differences in just two meetings.

For this woman's unexpectedly deep heart, the emptiness and loneliness that surpassed him.

No one has ever been able to say these words to him.When Sherlock was a child, he was very lonely and had no playmates. He was only accompanied by his brother who was older than him and had a higher IQ. He always reminded him "Don't pretend to be smart, I am smart". He all thought he was an "idiot" and was extremely frustrated.One can imagine how inferior and powerless he is in front of his powerful brother.In Sherlock Holmes' cognition, Mycroft has always been a majestic, god-like existence-he dislikes him, defies him, but needs him and agrees with him.He is the strongest opponent, like a mountain in front of him that cannot be climbed.

And now someone told him clearly: Look, you are so different.Between Sherlock and Mycroft, I'm more interested in you.

For a moment, Sherlock was almost shaken by it, although he soon came back to his senses, and his gaze became sharper again after being in a trance.

He told himself: Don't believe her, a person who is used to pretending will never tell the truth from the beginning.The reason why she expressed her approval was simply because she was entrusted by others, and her safety was entirely on herself. They could be said to be pirates on a ship, with mutual distrust but connected interests.Every word and every word of hers has a purpose, she is a murderer, and a murderer cannot be trusted.

A viper-like woman.He should be more cautious, more vigilant.

Sherlock was silent for a moment.

"What did he say to you last night?" he asked.Obviously, he was referring to the mysterious investor.

Sierra lowered her eyes, took a sip of coffee, and then raised her eyes, her gaze was bottomless, but the smile on her lips was still there.

"After you made a...well, a special 'marriage proposal' to me, he took me to meet someone." Sera smiled, and sure enough, Sherlock straightened up immediately, his eyes almost glowing, and asked impatiently ,"who?"

Is there someone else behind that investor?

"He didn't tell me his name," Sera shrugged, "I didn't see him with my own eyes, there was a wall between us, and he only said one word to me—"

"'The east windising."

The east wind is coming.

The author has something to say: Has anyone guessed why the murderer is the Great Demon King? ~
