The last time I attended the ball was with Sherlock, Song Yiqiao was in a much more relaxed mood, unlike the moment when he had to guard against Hubert all the time.She was held arms silently, and the two entered the door under the respectful eyes of the waiter.

The noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

The well-dressed guests kept silent and carefully moved out of the way. They stood on both sides like doormen, not even daring to breathe.The gazes that fell on Song Yiqiao were full of surprise, fear, and flattery... For a moment, she was even more popular than Hubert.

Song Yiqiao wished he could bury his head in the cracks of the ground, for fear of being recognized by others.

Holding her hand, there was no intention of withdrawing. The man beside him was calm and composed, as if he was used to the awe of others.

The Count and Countess who were preparing for their daughter's engagement banquet maintained a good demeanor, but their joyful tone still revealed their joy: "Mr. Ferro, it is a great honor to be honored by you. This is my daughter's honor!"

"Your Excellency has a great friendship with my father. I should come to participate in such a grand occasion. Please don't feel nervous about it."

Hubert nodded, smiling distantly and politely, but almost moved the couple to tears.

A reclusive mafia godfather is willing to come to their daughter's engagement ceremony, which proves that they are equivalent to being in the scope of asylum. grace.

Tonight, when the news gets out, whether it is a business partner or a politician, they will back down three points to them.

Ferro's reputation is much easier to use than the earl's name.

The earl was once the godson of Hubert's father, and he had accepted it for an important transaction.Every godfather will have some godsons under his name, some are related by blood, and some are due to political and other factors that cannot be clearly stated.

In some ways, they have reached a relationship of obedience and being obeyed. Obviously, the Ferro family has a high position, which makes them feel fear and respect.

Hubert knew about the godson under his father's name, but he never planned to intervene. This trip was just to find a suitable reason to ask Song Yiqiao out.It's a pity that the Earl and his wife couldn't appreciate it and regarded it as a supreme honor.

The rest of the guests didn't dare look this way too clearly, but their whispers turned to Hubert from a certain MP in the limelight, the latest Milan catwalk, the size of a private yacht, and so on.

...and the female companion beside him.

Song Yiqiao was very uncomfortable. She tried to break free from Hubert's arm, but was squeezed tightly by him.

"Would you like some champagne?" Hubert cast his gentle gaze on her, causing a large group of young girls to shatter their hearts.

"...I want to go to the bathroom."

"Ok."

To Song Yiqiao's surprise, Hubert let go of his hand easily, and stared deeply at her with passionate eyes, like a lake that can drown people, making people blush and heartbeat.

"..."

She froze for a moment, only to see the man on the opposite side gently picking up her loose long hair and pulling it behind her ears.The sensitive part behind the ears was lightly touched with fingertips, and the strange feeling of trembling ran from the ears to the top of the head, making Song Yiqiao shiver involuntarily.

Hubert looked down at her, covered their speculative eyes with one hand, and said in a low voice that the two could hear: "If you run away today, I will be very embarrassed, Joe, I don't think you want to know what the end will be." How about it."

Song Yiqiao thumped in his heart, knowing that this one would not work.She clenched her hands into fists, suppressed her emotions, and looked at Hubert calmly.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"You're scared again."

"It's your unpredictable behavior that's confusing me."

Hubert smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I just want to make this evening more enjoyable."

She sighed: "well, you won, and I won't think about running away again, but you have to promise that there will be no more accidents tonight."

The word "accident" is bitten extremely hard.

"I try my best."

Hubert gently twisted a strand of her black hair behind her head, and let go with a look of reluctance.

Song Yiqiao took a step back indiscriminately, picked up a glass of champagne, and slightly raised his hand to signal him: "Go and do your work, I'll rest here for a while."

"it is good."

Hubert really complied.Sure enough, even at this time, he still habitually chatted a little with people who had business dealings.

As Song Yiqiao learned, Hubert's father was attacked during a trip. In order to protect his family from fatal knee injuries, he needed a wheelchair to move around.Hubert was only 14 years old at the time. After overcoming all difficulties with his own efforts, he suppressed all opposing voices and became Ferro's shelter, the next godfather after his father.

From then on, Ferro's glory and suffering have been closely bound up with the young mafia, and are inseparable.

Song Yiqiao has searched for his information on the Internet, but unfortunately, everyone seems to be very harmonious and silent about it. The few articles are also about his legendary journey of how he became the new godfather.

There is even less personal information about Hubert, except that he seems to live a low-key and social life, and nothing is known.

Song Yiqiao couldn't figure out why the godfather who called the wind and rain had a special liking for her, and he seemed to be chasing after her.In terms of appearance, there are many women who are more beautiful than her. In terms of talent and reputation, she is just a little-known little person with no special skills, and she is still struggling on the front line of food and clothing.

So what is wrong with Hubert?

Song Yiqiao drank a few glasses of wine depressedly, belatedly remembering that she hadn't eaten on an empty stomach, she shook her head, feeling dizzy for a while.Suddenly, a very familiar person appeared in her sight - Sherlock Holmes!

If he came here, if it wasn't because he had to deal with friendship, there was another case.

Song Yiqiao walked up to him, raised his eyebrows with alcohol and asked, "What is Mr. Holmes doing here? I thought you planned to live in isolation and die alone."

Sherlock's eyes were focused on her slightly drunken blushing cheeks, as if her sarcastic attributes were suddenly turned off, and she didn't comment on Song Yiqiao's slightly groggy expression.

"Why do not you speak?"

"Talking to an alcoholic is not a wise decision."

Song Yiqiao couldn't help laughing: "Please rest assured, my mind is very clear, I can prove it if I don't believe it."

Sherlock looked at her noncommittally.

"Am I lucky enough to have a dance with you?" Song Yiqiao tilted his head and stretched out a hand, his fingertips were slender and white, his nails were full and shiny, "I swear in the name of God, I will be a good dance partner. "

"..."

Sherlock's heart moved, and for the first time, he selectively put the case aside for the time being, and held Song Yiqiao's hand.

The warmth of skin contact made both of them a little dazed.

Song Yiqiao glanced at a certain place, and the loss of control brought about by alcohol gradually disappeared, and she also realized how inappropriate this move was.If Hubert pursued it, Sherlock might also suffer disaster.

Sherlock followed her gaze, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes: "For the sake of your life, I suggest you stay away from him."

Sure enough, without prompting, he also understood very thoroughly.

"...Thank you." She bit her lip and smiled, but she spoke calmly and seriously, "But I want to say, if something happens to me tonight, even if it is death, you don't want to find out the reason."

No more people should be stirred into this pool of muddy water.

But if she was killed, with Sherlock's character of pursuing the case to the bottom, he would not turn a blind eye.It's not because the victim is someone he knows, but because of his nature, he will definitely make a choice.

Sherlock was silent.

"As you say, sometimes curiosity kills people. For your family and friends—Mr. Holmes, I don't need to say too much."

Song Yiqiao glanced at a certain place again, and said regretfully: "Sorry, it seems that there is nothing I can do today, I hope I can have a chance next time."

She withdrew her hand and walked towards the drink area in the hall, where stood a tall, tall figure with a gentle and elegant appearance that looked very harmless.He waited for Song Yiqiao to pass by, the two of them talked about something, and there was a gentle smile on their handsome faces.

Sherlock frowned.

There was something wrong with Hubert.Before that, he had investigated Hubert's information. Although it was limited, his ability was enough to deduce a lot of information.Judging from the current situation, it was obvious that Hubert was going to do something to her.

It was his mistake that he didn't have time to tell Song Yiqiao about this, he...

An important person in the case appeared in front of Sherlock. His eyes paused, and then he stared at the two people talking and laughing happily under the light from a distance. After weighing the two, he decided to finish the matter in front of him first.

There is still time.

On the other side, Song Yiqiao sat beside him quietly.After a few glasses of wine, her lower abdomen was a little sore and she decided to go to the bathroom.

After explaining to Hubert, she took her bag and walked away slowly under the guidance of the waiter. She didn't see the man behind him smiling more and more coldly, and a dark color flashed in his deep eyes. Hidden without a trace.

Hubert put down his glass and started to follow.

……

Song Yiqiao looked in the mirror, made sure that there was nothing wrong with him, and then stepped out of the bathroom door.Suddenly, a hand as strong as an iron wrist tightly grabbed her arm, and a man's gentle voice sounded.

"Joe."

"What are you going to do?"

She reacted instantly, but the cold muzzle of the gun was suddenly pressed against her back, which made her dare not act rashly, so she could only be obediently taken by Hubert to the room used for rest.

The door was closed vigorously, and the lights in the hall were dim, reflecting dimly in the room.

Song Yiqiao raised his hands and said slowly: "Calm down first." "I've always been calm," Hubert smiled, "but you, Joe, you seem disturbed, what happened? "

He didn't intend to put down the gun, Song Yiqiao's throat rolled, and his palms were covered with sweat.

Hubert had rich experience and knew her ability very well, so the muzzle of his gun was always aimed at the deadly point. He was afraid that if she wanted to act rashly, the other party would shoot without mercy.

—He can really do it.

Song Yiqiao is convinced of this.

"I'm disappointed, to be honest." Hubert couldn't hide his disappointment like Solomon looking at his damaged treasure, "You shouldn't use this kind of look, Joe, please put down your guard, I won't do anything."

"Then please put the gun down first."

"No no, this way you will slip away and leave me forever."

"I do not know."

"Look, you're really not fit to lie."

His eyes were soft and gentle, and his hoarse voice sounded like a whisper, like sand rolled up by the waves, and his vocal cords vibrated slightly, making the listener get goosebumps.

"I know your mood, your past, everything about you."

Song Yiqiao's body froze.

"what do you know?"

"For example—" He bowed his head, and whispered a name in Song Yiqiao's ear that shocked her, "Caroline."

Song Yiqiao raised a smileless arc: "I'm sorry, my roommate has died in a fire, if you want to take the opportunity to extract useful information, it's impossible."

"Fire?"

He chuckled: "If I hadn't intervened, how could she have fabricated a false appearance so easily."

As soon as Hubert's words came out, Song Yiqiao's expression completely changed.

"you……"

"Caroline is brilliant, but it bores me. But I have to thank her for that, and since seeing you in the picture for the first time, I have to admit, my heart is blown."

"..."

"I started to pay attention to your every move and know everything about you. It's a pity that Caroline seems to have concealed some facts until she died."

Hearing this, Song Yiqiao asked abruptly, "What is the deal between you?"

"You overestimate her." Hubert said in a very pleasant tone as if he had heard a funny joke, "Commodities need to be exchanged at equal value, and the same is true for transactions. She is not yet qualified to make a deal with me."

"But you did enter into a partnership with her."

"I just want to know more about you. Helping her is just a matter of effort. Joe, you have no idea how charming you are when you show a cruel expression, which makes me..."

He suddenly interrupted his words, with a forbearing look on his face, as if he was controlling his suppressed emotions.

"...It's a pity that you are gone now."

Song Yiqiao looked at him blankly: "This is just Song Yiqiao in your imagination, which is completely opposite to me. As you can see, since you are already disappointed, please stop pestering me."

Hubert's laugh was deep.

"You seem to forget all about those things. For example, why someone broke into the house in the middle of the night, how the prisoner escaped suddenly, Jules died unexpectedly in the theater, and how Dr. Hannibal Lecter was killed by Carlo Lin found..."

Every time he said a word, Song Yiqiao's face became colder and colder.

"What do you want to say."

"very good."

Hubert was very satisfied with her expression, showing a look of love, the gentle shell was completely thrown away, and even the smile became a little nervous.

"I'll give you two choices, one is to kill me, and the other is to kill you."

"How would you choose?"
