The program group had to suspend filming because of such a big incident.Esther's sudden disappearance made Colby feel a sense of depression.The people in the program group can only sigh in amazement that the brother and sister have a deep relationship.

Reluctantly, they reported the incident to Scotland Yard, and the Warrens were immediately notified.It was Dr. Warren who answered the phone. His voice sounded exhausted. Hearing the news of Esther's disappearance, Dr. Warren was shocked for a while before replying: "...Okay, we'll go back right away."

The program team also notified Catherine Gloucester that she paid 6000 million pounds for this program. The program team was a little worried that she would withdraw the funds because of this incident. Unexpectedly, the other party was not very concerned about it. The phone was an assistant Then, after the other party asked about what happened, there was a short silence, and then they replied in an orderly manner.

The other party stated that as long as they can handle this problem well, they will not withdraw their capital, and they can even add a second phase of investment.

The program team breathed a sigh of relief.

Sherlock casually asked the investors of the show, and Catherine Gloucester and another private medical institution accounted for most of them.The Gloucester family holds a 20% stake in the private medical practice.

This is no surprise, the Gloucester family, the most profitable investment in Britain, has a foot in it, and this ancient family has grown further and stronger at an incredible speed in Catherine's hands.The outside world commented that she is a rare true philanthropist, but Sherlock prefers to think that she is a shrewd businessman.

It was Cecil's idea to present a "genius" Colby, so that medical institution has a high probability of being related to Cecil, so it might be a good idea to start here.

As for Esther's disappearance... Sherlock quickly peeled off the clues at the scene.The person in charge of the program team rubbed his hands, and was about to ask the detective for help when Sherlock said impatiently, "Don't stand in front of me, your breathing disturbs my thinking."

principal:"……"

Sherlock walked over and lowered himself, examining the bloody coat.

It belonged unquestionably to Esther.

Strong gothic style, light gray main color, decorated with complicated white lace, blood color spread on the back of the jacket, the sleeves are not damaged, but there are scratches on the back.

It wasn't the clothes that were torn during the struggle, but Esther took off the clothes on her own initiative.Why did you take off your coat?Because she was hurt.

The wound on the back was the most serious. It was about [-] centimeters long and five centimeters wide. , short hair, relatively thin build.

· No, she is not alone...she has a helper, a man, between 175 and 178 cm tall, with a gun.

Sherlock thought so, the phone in his pocket vibrated a few times, and then was cut off.

From Krista.

Sherlock suddenly realized something, before he had time to grasp it, his body had subconsciously reacted for him.

He called back.

***

Christa came back earlier than expected. After visiting the museum, Sheldon could only return sullenly because he did not occupy the lecture seat in the side hall next to it.

As consolation, Krista happily shared a cheesecake with him and won a model airplane in the restaurant's raffle.

A model with a stick figure cake pattern and restaurant name printed on it.

It was not until Christa noticed that this chain restaurant was originally owned by Davis, but the old Davis died of illness, Flora went missing, and the restaurant was acquired.

She thought of the news report she had read recently, that Davis's restaurant was acquired by a catering group, and that group...was controlled by Gloucester, right?

Gloucester, once the name is noticed, it is everywhere.The surname can be seen in almost every facet of the British economy.

Before Catherine Gloucester, the Gloucester family was no different from other declining nobles, but under the hands of Catherine, the Gloucester family developed rapidly in a few years.The father occupies a place in the political world, and the daughter plays an important role in the business world, especially after the collapse of the Byrd family mansion, Gloucester's position is even more prominent.The father and daughter also occupy the commanding heights of public opinion and complement each other.

Christa sent Sheldon, who was much happier after getting the model, back to Professor Smith's house, and was reminded not to let go of homework easily.

"Don't be like that brat Isidore, who ran off to Italy without saying a word after the concert, and refused to go back to London saying that he was looking for inspiration for composing. Who knows what this kid did! He was dumped and thought I was I don't know, hum."

Professor Smith complained angrily.

"And you, since you're in a relationship, don't break up casually, lest you go away after being hurt by a bit of bullshit like that brat Isidore. Even if you're in a relationship, you can't forget to practice the violin, do you hear me?"

The teacher's keenness made Krista purse her lips and smile shyly, "We won't break up easily."

Although the teacher didn't know the details of what happened to Isidore, it's not wrong to say so.For the elderly who have experienced the vicissitudes of life, love is superfluous, and only music is eternal.

However, she is different from Sherlock.

Her good expectations for everything ended at the moment when she found the pocket watch in Sherlock's trench coat pocket.

Christa originally wanted to find some change from Sherlock's pocket, but she didn't expect that she would get such a surprising "surprise".

With just one glance, she could tell the origin of this pocket watch.She held it in her hand and caressed it countless times, and Christa even remembered every pattern on it.

Things that once belonged to her, to "Jiang Fei".

No wonder Sherlock suddenly mentioned that word.

—maius.

Trembling, she opened the delicate mechanism along the rosette path, as she had done many times before.

The dial pops open to the sides to reveal a dated photo.

In the photo, two young girls cuddle up to each other, as if they are only each other.

The background of the photo is a large blank area, the photo is dimly lit, and even the characters are somewhat blurred.Krista will never forget it, the place where this picture was taken occupied almost all of her from birth to death on the laboratory bench.

It was a blank, cramped room where the 18 short years of Krista's life had been shattered, an inch of protection that was actually a prison.

Ironically, in those years full of pain and despair, that small secret room was indeed the only place where she could get some safety.

Krista stared blankly at the photo.

A photo of her and Jiang Qile.

Photos of Jiang Fei and Jiang Qile.It is also the only one.

Jiang Qile died too early, just like a candle in a long night, the long night is still a long night after burning its brilliance, the warmth of the candlelight is just an untouchable illusion in continuous memories.

This is a photo of the dead with countless bitter memories and only brilliance.

Those fateful entanglements that she thought were over, the nightmares that she thought could never be looked back across time and space, and the past that she no longer needed to face, clearly showed her at this moment with an inescapable treacherous gesture that everything was just behind a conspiracy. The absurd assumptions and clumsy lies.

The brilliance of the world seems to be drawn away at this moment, and the whole body is gloomy gray.

Holding the pocket watch in a daze, she suddenly saw the only color in the chaos of black and white light and shadow.

—That's Sherlock Holmes.

Trembling, she took out her mobile phone, her mind was so messed up that she could no longer think about it, and dialed the familiar but unfamiliar number.

After dialing, Krista was even more confused, she gritted her teeth and hung up.

She didn't know how to face Sherlock.

She was holding the mobile phone, and the golden pocket watch hurt her palm, but she didn't feel it.

Krista stared blankly at the phone screen.

Sherlock's call came back at this time, and she frantically pressed the answer button.

"Krista, I'll be right back." Sherlock said directly without asking any further questions.His voice was anxious, and there seemed to be confusion over there. His voice was a little fuzzy, but firm enough.

Christa held the phone and said softly: "Then can you hurry up?"

"Well, right now."

"Taxi—" He had already gone outside.

"Sherlock, you must hurry up. I'm scared." Christa finally broke down and cried out this sentence.

The author has something to say: Jiang Qile is the candle that is extinguished in the long night, and Sherlock is the sun that burns out the darkness.
