[Sherlock] The Rose and You

Chapter 41: Seeking Skin with a Tiger 1

It is midsummer here.

There is a hot sun above the head, which seems to be able to scorch everything in the world, so most people choose to stay at home at this moment.

Qiao Wei also wanted to stay at home.

She wants to eat cold food, read some boring novels, and she wants to be a happy squatting at home.

But she was not so lucky.

Whitson chose to give her the list at the time, probably not because she was extravagantly asking her to protect this thing, but just hoping that this thing would not fall into the hands of people in the bureau.

In other words, in the hands of the government.

He is very smart and has seen her strong curiosity, so such an endless list will definitely arouse her interest in inquiry.

And she is just a little clever young lady from your family. It is self-evident to compare the difficulty of taking something from the police and taking something from a lady.

And he was right, Qiao Wei did keep this list.

At that time, there were several police officers who assisted at the scene, but she was the only one who moved the book, and she was not familiar with them, so she who had moved the book at that time would naturally become the first suspect of Vampire Temple, and this news may have been passed Leaked to multiple forces.

The rest of the forces may not know what it is, but it is absolutely impossible for the people of Vampire Temple not to know.

Barnott's defeat was enough to make them vigilant.

However, the enemy is in the dark, and she is in the light—she has no idea who Bathory is.

Rumors are not necessarily true, she believes it.

She even guessed, could it be that Bathory wasn't a girl at all?

Of course, this is just speculation, the historical Mrs. Bathory is indeed a beauty.

But now, she must always be on guard against everyone around her, because very likely, that person is Bathory.

And at this moment, she was on her way to visit Mycroft with Sherlock.

Zoya doesn't intend to help her, and she also doesn't intend to sit still, but she can't stand against that organization by herself.

And Mycroft is definitely a good choice.

Be smart and consider the national interest.

Cooperating with such a person, even if it is yin, is also an open conspiracy.

On the other hand, she was not worried about her own safety. No one knew where the list was. Before they got the list, they would never dare to commit murder and could only use some dirty tricks.

"A very important thing?" While leading the way, Sherlock asked with a frown. He didn't quite believe the other party's so-called "she has something that is related to her life and death". After all, in his eyes, Sweeney is just a Just a little girl spoiled by Zoya.

But looking at what she took out at the time...

It was a piece of beautiful and expensive writing paper, which seemed to have a faint fragrance of ink, but was covered by the strong smell of blood on it.

That's a countdown.

A countdown to death.

A bright red 5, and a line of small characters underneath——

[Hand it over. 】

"It appeared on my table last night." Qiao Wei's voice seemed to tremble a little, as if she was extremely frightened by this incident, "The servants in the family are all chosen by my brother, and there is no way they will betray, then it How did it appear on the table in my room?"

"Are you sure it's impossible to betray?" Sherlock asked immediately.

"I don't know, but without my permission, no one can enter my room." Qiao Wei lowered her head and closed her eyes, making it hard to see her emotions.

Can't enter without her permission, and didn't say, can't enter secretly.

She spoke intermittently, as if she was sobbing, "I knew that I got that share by accident, and if they found out, they would definitely come after me..."

She said a few words with concern, but she didn't want to, and in the end she really felt a little sad.

"What is it?" Sherlock asked curiously.

"A list, a list that is related to the survival of the government."

She said softly, with a little calm and sad taste.

It sounds very implausible.

Although Sylweine Hogsmots is the young lady of the Hogsmots family, Sherlock knows that she has always been dealing with calculations and those jobs that don't need to be seen in public.

How could a lady of great family come into contact with those things?

But her fear was all too real.

It came from the heart, spontaneously.

"The first name on the list is Adelaide (Adelaide), I think it should be a code name. I accidentally got hurt and blood on my hand fell on it. Unexpectedly, it actually showed a name on it. .”

"The main body is a nice black with red marks.

The black one is Giuseppe Mazzini (Giuseppe Mazzini), who died on March 1872, 3, one of the founders of the unified Italy.

Comparing the black writing with the rest of the red writing, I boldly guess that the person with the black writing is the person they plan to eliminate, while the red writing is the person they are lurking. "

She lowered her head, but her voice was still clear, Sherlock looked at her, "What are the black names and how many are there?"

"Besides Adelaide (Adelaide), there are a few more, but I don't remember exactly."

She shook her head and replied.

How can I not remember?

She remembers every name on the list, stroke by stroke, stroke by stroke, and she can't forget it even if she wants to.

"Can you let me see?" He looked a little serious.

"I... I didn't bring it with me, and I just want to go to Mycroft, I don't want to implicate you." She paused, "I don't want to implicate my brother."

She explained the reason why she didn't want to say it, and pointed out that she was hiding it from Zoya, and it was for Zoya's good.

How could Sherlock Holmes, who valued love and righteousness, inform Zoya again?

【How can I tell you?

If I let you see it, wouldn't the painstaking efforts of coming here to find you be in vain? 】

She secretly thought.

And Qiao Wei knew very well that according to Sherlock's character, it was impossible for him to say "No, I'm not afraid of being implicated by you" according to Xiaoyan's classic script, let alone they are not a couple.

She came to look for Sherlock, but because Mycroft was someone she knew well, and he was a relatively reliable person in this world.

And Sherlock is his brother.

That's it.

##############

Qiao Wei has not answered Sherlock's matter because she is thinking about things.

She didn't tell Sherlock much, not out of mistrust, but...

She felt that she had vaguely thought of what that share represented.

According to the Vampire Bible, those third-generation vampires who survived Noah's flood ruthlessly wiped out their elders—the second-generation vampires.

At the same time, they rebuilt a city and called it the "Second City".

As the descendants of Cain, they ruled the city as Cain ruled.But the peaceful life also couldn't last long, and a dispute broke out among the vampires.

They continue to buy humans as their minions to compete with each other.The quarrel destroyed everything, and the crusade of the vampires, the Jehad, began.

And Jehad, the so-called "Millennium Jihad", is a never-ending battle between blood clans.

Those vampires with higher generations threw the vampires and humans with lower generations into this war like cannon fodder.

For them, lowly vampires and humans are nothing but [puppets].

It is a toy at their beck and call.

Antediluvian (third generation of vampires).

Jihad.

slave.

If her guess is correct, the list she got by chance may be one of the deepest secrets of that organization.

Why do vampires break out into fights?

For rights.

The status of many people on this list should not be low.

The paper is not new. In terms of newness and damage, this thing has at least five years of existence.

Mrs. Witsen Astana's identity is Toreador.

Although both belong to the secret alliance in the vampire church, Toreador prefers art, while Ventrue prefers to beat around the bush in politics.

They are political geniuses.

Therefore, the source of this item is likely to come from a Ventrue.

And if she's right...

Then what she will face is likely to be the secret persecution of officials.

Therefore, no one could completely protect her except Mycroft.

As long as she gives something, the value is enough.

She tightened her grip on what was in her hand.

"Here we are," Sherlock said.

The author has something to say: The main hostile force in the first part is the vampire temple ╮(╯▽╰)╭
