The villain is trapped in the system and begs me to let him out [Moriarty who worries about the coun

early morning.

With a sound of "wow", Li Mo opened the closet, and the pungent thick smoke hit his face, choking him to cough again and again.

"Sherlock, what are you doing? Smoking in the closet!"

"Ah?" Sherlock, who was lying in the closet, turned around lazily, "Who told you to let me sleep here?"

"What else? If I sleep outside, what should I do if my family bumps into me?" Li Mo snatched the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, "If you want to smoke the clothes in my closet again, believe it or not, I will report to you for burglary. ?”

"Tch, what a boring brat." Sherlock turned his back displeasedly, "Ahhh, Lian's teammate is still cute..."

"Speaking of her," Li Mo picked up the basketball at the bottom of the cabinet, "You really don't want to deal with the case of their drama club?"

"It doesn't matter, let's take care of ourselves first. Isn't task [-] asking us to track down the sale of illegal addictive drugs? We haven't found any clues until now." Sherlock scratched the back of his head in frustration, "It doesn't solve the problem." If this is the case, it will be a problem for me to even go out, damn it..."

"But didn't you say that the professor would be in danger?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as he calms down, he will definitely be able to see the true face of this crisis, and we—" Sherlock's tone was light, but his fists were clenched secretly, "Just keep watching."

In the evening, the pre-trial for the theater festival is about to begin.

The crimson velvet curtain was slowly lifted, revealing half of Du Ruoying's face in fine attire. Her lips were carefully covered with a thin layer of silk glaze, hawthorn red, which was so strong that it captivated the soul.The long black hair that was usually loose and loose was now coiled up high, and only two strands of curly curly hair hung down.The white and jade-like clavicle and neck are exposed, like a silent invitation.

William stared blankly, unconsciously lost in thought for a moment.

Du Ruoying struggled to drag the hem of the one-shoulder long skirt, and quickly walked out from the backstage. The folds and drape on the skirt were designed very simply, like the pillars of the goddess of the Parthenon Temple, wrapping her body The shape is perfectly outlined, exuding a certain sacred and taboo beauty.

"I've said that the style of this long skirt doesn't conform to the style of the Victorian period, so why didn't anyone listen to it?" She complained, but saw William staring at her face motionlessly, "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?" She touched her pink and lightly dyed cheeks with some anxiety.

"No...it's just that this is the first time I've seen you wearing makeup like this—"

"Not well?" Du Ruoying panicked even more, "Ah, if I had known, I would not have listened to Yeats' weird suggestions!"

"No...I mean, it looks good." He gently held her groping hands to prevent her from smearing her makeup.

Seeing this, Yeats, who was busy tidying up the cosmetics in the background, immediately leaned over to ask for credit: "Nonsense, can the beheaded male makeup carefully designed by this lady not look good?"

"Cut what?" William didn't respond for a while.

"Of course it's the murderer..." Without waiting for Ye Zhi to explain, Du Ruoying quickly covered her mouth and replied, "Of course it's the murderer! Or what do you think?"

Although she knew that what she said was not true, it reminded William that the real purpose of their performance this time was to catch the murderer and draw a final end to the four consecutive years of tragedies.

In other words, the more beautiful she dresses up, the more dangerous her situation will be...

Tonight's review process is actually very simple. As long as the scale and duration of the show can meet the standards, and there is no objectionable content, the show can pass smoothly.

So Du Ruoying's acting mentality is quite relaxed.

In addition, in order to improve the students who love to perform, the review judges will give pertinent guidance to help them perform better in subsequent formal performances.

For example, the judges of drama programs invited Xu Fu, a well-known Ph.D. director of New Cinema, who is well-connected in the entertainment industry.If the students perform well enough in the review process and get his appreciation, they may even be on the way to stardom—this is why Liao Jun and the others are still willing to stay here and continue to struggle.

After the performance and comments were successfully concluded, everyone went to the backstage to take off their makeup.

Seeing Xu Fu get up and leave the table, William quietly followed.They didn't stop until they were completely out of everyone's sight.

"Are you satisfied just watching the drama part, Mr. Xu?" William asked with a smile.

"Professor William, I've heard of your name." The other party lit a cigar and handed William one, "I didn't expect you to be interested in theater performances."

William raised his hand and declined politely: "I made you laugh."

"No, no," the man in his late fifties happily waved his hands at him, smiling very kindly, "To be honest, your acting skills are very good. If you really want to enter the showbiz, I can't even think of any rejection." Any excuses." He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of enjoyment, as if he was reminiscing about the show just now, "Not only you, but also the classmate who played Irene Adler, it can be seen that she is very talented .”

"Looks like you're enjoying it."

"Yeah, I can't resist the artistic charm of drama. Without drama, the actor's mortal body is so ordinary and worthless, but after injecting the soul of the character, the beauty of the combination of the two can be Lights up the whole stage and it's hard not to be moved."

"It's a pity that the body of an actor will eventually wither, and the beauty of combining the two into one is just a flash in the pan and cannot last forever." William pretended to regret.

"Oh? Do you think so too?" A sly light flashed in the slender black eyes, "This reminds me of a sentence - if you want a character to shine with eternal brilliance, let it be the opening scene The state will be maintained until the final curtain."

"Is it what the ancient Roman poet Horace said?"

"Hahaha, yes," Xu Fu applauded sincerely, "It's surprising that you are so knowledgeable at such a young age. To be honest, I personally like Heras very much."

"Presumably you also like the sculptures of ancient Greek girls," William continued, "especially those with soft lines and natural carvings, preferably with slight incompleteness and damage—such as the Parthenon "The Three Fates."

"Oh, how did you know that?"

"I have observed the commonality of dramas in the past few years and found that drama clubs are very fond of heroine-type scripts, especially those where the protagonist is injured or even dies. Even if the original script does not conform to itself, it will eventually be adjusted to a state of complete compliance. In addition , Their choices in persuading the Dao are also too classical. Although the students in the drama club never mentioned it, I think all they did was to please a certain person." William paused, "It seems like today , that person is you, right? Whether it’s a screenwriter or an actor, once they get your appreciation, they will be greeted with an attractive olive branch in the entertainment industry. From their efforts, it’s not hard to sense your aesthetics tendency."

"It's really sharp insight, just like a detective." Xu Fuxing said, "Is there any other reasoning content, let me hear it too?"

"If you want to hear, of course," William said, "you have a diagonal imprint on the inside of the upper part of your index finger, which shows that you were a surgeon. But you have been with the New Theater for four years, and before that It’s another five years of overseas master’s and doctoral studies—the marks on your hands are still clear after such a long time, which shows that you are still reluctant to put down your scalpel.”

The other party's expression froze immediately.

"And the red spot on your wrist is the burn caused by formalin. It looks very new. The neat edge must fit a pair of abandoned rubber gloves?"

"It's a pleasure chatting with you," Xu Fu suppressed his smile, "but I'm sorry, I have to catch a flight to Huichun City later, so I can only continue on another day."

"Can't watch this year's official performance again?"

"Yeah, I'm really sorry."

"That's right, if you don't do this, your alibi will be troublesome."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"You pretend to leave Beiyu City at this time of year, but actually return secretly, don't you? Then wait for the opportunity for the prey to go home. On the way, you hitchhike and kill them."

"Heh, I've heard that you guys are investigating the affairs of the drama club. I didn't want to talk too much, but it's really rude to suspect others like you without paying attention to evidence." Xu Fu said calmly. Face said, "What's more, how can such a whimsical method be so simple and smooth in practice? Maybe they had the habit of walking with others during their lifetime? If this is the case, there is no way to start?"

"But it happens to be so simple and smooth," William said, "Moths who are dedicated to pursuing stardom are always easy to regard the deadly flame as a sweet invitation--Xue Mengmeng and Yang Xiaobei have the habit of taking a taxi to travel. It's easy to fall for you; Li Xinyu has always been frugal, and prefers to take the bus when going out, but if a teacher she knows is willing to give her a ride along the way, she probably won't refuse; as for Guan Shihan, she likes to go home with others, But when she disappeared, she didn't invite any of her classmates to go with her, because the person who promised to go with her was actually you. Right?"

"If you really think you're telling the truth, how about telling the police about these things?" Xu Fu glared at him angrily, and was about to leave with his hands.

"Your method is very clever, I really can't find any evidence," William said calmly, "The only thing I can do is to stop Xiaoying from being fooled by you again."

Hearing this, Xu Fu suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned sideways, with a terrifying sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Interesting, let's just walk and see."

Seeing Xu Fu's figure gradually walk away, William secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Now, he has revealed to the murderer that he is "in the way". If the murderer wants to get Du Ruoying, he must get rid of him first.

The preliminary layout has been completed, and he successfully turned himself into a safety net between the murderer and Du Ruoying.Next, as long as he waited for the murderer to attack him, he would be able to settle the other party logically, making Du Ruoying completely safe from danger.

However, strangely enough——

Until the end of the official performance, nothing happened around William and Du Ruoying.

Could it be that this time the other party actually chose to retreat despite difficulties?

William couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.

No, this is absolutely impossible.The sneer when the other party left was clearly an expression of willingly accepting the challenge.

"Sister Du Ruoying, someone asked me to pass this on to you." A junior suddenly ran in from the backstage and stuffed a large handful of bright red roses into Du Ruoying's hand.

"Wow," Yeats' eyes suddenly lit up with gossip, "Who gave it to you?"

The junior shook his head a little uneasy: "I...don't know." Then he ran away shyly.

"Wuhu," Yeats winked at William, "it must be because Xiaoying performed so well today, some audiences have unrealistic ideas, what should we do? The flower language of roses is 'warmth' And what about beautiful love'~"

"But," Du Ruoying suddenly felt vigilant, "The drama performance lasts only four to ten minutes. If you decide to order flowers after watching the performance, it will be too late, right?"

"Hey, why are you thinking so much?" Yeats quickly snatched the folded greeting card inserted in the middle of the flowers, "Open it and you'll know, maybe there's a name in it."

The palm-sized letter paper, with a thick texture, exudes a fresh and calm rose fragrance, and is sealed with a slightly worn-out blue crystal hairpin.After taking off the issuing card and unfolding the letter, what was revealed was not the mysterious signature or sweet words that everyone expected, but a set of extremely cold formulas:

x + y = 156.280747930323

Xy = 39.111069463657

"The hairpin," Li Ruiqing suddenly felt her legs go limp, and her body trembled violently, "it's my sister's..."

At the same time, a sinister laughter suddenly sounded in a certain distant basement.

"To hunt moths, flames are enough, but this method cannot be used to hunt fish. If you want to hunt fish, you must use bait. For you, this is a very suitable bait."

Lonely laughter echoed in the dead room, sounding creepy.

"To be honest, after listening to your reasoning earlier, I almost broke out in a cold sweat. I thought that this time I really wouldn't succeed." A figure slowly walked to the center of the wall and pinned a new photo. Go up, "I didn't expect you to make such a cute mistake, I can't let me make good use of it..."

The hazy moonlight reflected on the wall, dispelling the gloom in the photo, allowing the contents to emerge.

That's a picture of William.

The night wind blows by, and the photo is like a pinned butterfly struggling helplessly, flapping its wings, beautiful and dying.

"You are such a smart person, why can't you think of it?" The rough palm caressed the portrait in the photo, and there was a striking linear imprint on the index finger, "My target this time is obviously you—— "

"Professor William."
