“That’s pretty much it”
Xiao Ai nodded contentedly and released her small hands from twisting the soft flesh of her boyfriend's waist.
Sakaki Cheng, who was lucky enough to escape, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up with lingering fear, and muttered:
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and used all the quotations from scriptures."
After getting up and walking to the table, Professor Moriarty was shot in the abdomen. It seemed that he had injured the renal artery, and he was bleeding profusely. He was about to die.
He was still holding the bomb in his arms. Seeing Sakaki stepping forward, he had no intention of pulling the fuse. He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a strange smile:
"Still. I won."
Seeing the bomb in his arms, Sakaki looked at the hat he put on the table again, his face darkening:
"Why?"
Professor Moriarty hides two bombs in his hat, one real and one fake.
And the one he was holding in his arms was fake, it was really in the hat.
Sakaki didn't believe he got it wrong.
"I told you"
Professor Moriarty forced himself to sit up, feeling severe pain in his abdomen. Excessive blood loss made his face as pale as paper and his lips turned blue:
"Lian Ye is currently no match for Holmes."
"Once I die, Lenye will definitely become Holmes's enemy."
"Blowing you up will not bring any real benefits other than making me feel comfortable."
"so."
Sakaki frowned and said word by word:
"Are you forcing me to shoot?"
"I will never lose to Holmes, never!"
As if coming back to his senses, Professor Moriarty's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Now that I have won, I have completed the final plan. Renye will learn the final knowledge from my death, and he will no longer have weaknesses!"
"Slayer. It turns out that your purpose is to turn Karasuma Renye into a demon who will not be swayed by emotions."
Sakaki Cheng said:
"You opened the cage on purpose. Compared to Jack the Ripper, Renye Karasuma is obviously your chosen successor."
"That's right!"
Professor Moriarty laughed wildly, and blood kept pouring out of the wound covered by his left hand:
"I am old and can't live for a few more years, but my dream has not been fulfilled, so I need a good successor."
"When I first met Lian Ye, I was shocked. Everyone in this world corresponds to the seven deadly sins, otherwise he is a complete good guy. He is not!"
"His eyes are exactly the same as when I was young. He is ambitious, but he can hide his true nature very well. He is like a lynx in the forest, ready to pounce at any time and kill the hunter with a firearm!"
"The blood I shed today will be repaid to the world a hundredfold by Nichiren Ye!"
"Tell me this, aren't you afraid?"
Sakaki's eyes flashed:
"Should I kill him now?"
"You won't, because you are an emotional person."
His body suddenly relaxed, his back collapsed, and Professor Moriarty turned back into the desolate and lonely old man:
"Remember what I told you at the Poker Tavern?"
"We are the same kind of people. Moran has followed me for many years. He is responsible for half of the business in the underground world. After my death, he will be the biggest hidden danger."
"But I can't do it, so I can only use your hands to get rid of him."
"Professor Moriarty certainly deserves his reputation for being ruthless."
Shaking his head, Sakaki changed the subject:
"There is no friendship between Renye Karasuma and I. Killing him will not cause me any psychological pressure at all."
"It's not you and him, it's me and you."
Professor Moriarty dropped the fake bomb in his hand and pointed at the hat:
"The final winner of this game is me. I could have killed your woman, but I didn't. I also helped you collect photos and let your companions go."
"But you killed Hattori brother."
"You also killed me. The grudge between us should be cleared."
His pupils began to dilate. Professor Moriarty's body was exhausted and he was already on his deathbed. His vision was blurry and he couldn't see clearly. He held on for a breath and said:
"If Lian Ye is compared to me back then, you are the Moran who assisted me back then."
"I hope you can help Lianye deal with Holmes."
"As a reward, I will give you the wealth I have accumulated throughout my life."
Professor Moriarty took out a bronze key from his arms with his blood-stained left hand, and raised it tremblingly:
"This key can open the underground vault of my villa. Please."
After saying these words, Professor Moriarty exhausted all his strength, the signs of life disappeared, his arms dropped, and the key hung alone in his hand.
Sakaki glanced at the key, picked up the silver snake crutch standing beside him, turned around, took Xiao Ai in his hand, and walked out of the back door of the tavern.
He also didn't tell Xiao Ai that the bomb was fake.
As I walked out the back door, I happened to meet Holmes.
Holmes also came on horseback. There was a time difference between him and Sakaki. Sakaki was the first to appear in the tavern. The purpose was to attract the attention of the sniper so that Holmes could sneak into the town quietly and catch him by surprise.
Seeing the silver snake crutch in Sakaki's hand, Holmes naturally knew that he had succeeded:
"What are you going to do next? The police are still looking for you."
"Leave London."
"Aren't you going to stay?"
This sentence meant something. Sakaki and Holmes looked at each other and smiled calmly:
"No stay."
"That's really a shame."
Holmes took a sip of his pipe, without a trace of regret on his face:
"I know a friend who has a ship that is parked at Teddington Pier on the lower reaches of the Thames. It will depart at noon tomorrow and its destination is the United States. If you need anything, I can help you say hello."
"Thank you, no thanks."
Sakaki Cheng carried Xiao Ai to the carriage, put the silver snake cane on his legs, and said:
"I am going back to Sir Baskerville's manor now. Do you want to go?"
"Later, I have something to do now."
Holmes said with a smile.
Sakaki Cheng saw the white chrysanthemum on his chest, and without saying much, he grabbed the reins, drove the carriage out of the town, and returned to the manor along the way.
Watching the carriage go away, Holmes stood there for a while and walked into the tavern hall.
He took off the white chrysanthemum on his chest and placed it on the table in front of Professor Moriarty. By the way, he picked up the cup of malt liquor and drank it by himself.
Ten minutes later, the wine was finished, Holmes stood up, threw down a penny, and left the pub.
From beginning to end
He didn't say a word, as if he was an old friend who came to pay tribute to the grave, or as if he was reminiscing about the old college days.
"Who is this young man?"
"I am Holmes, respected professor, Sherlock Holmes."
"Do you want to learn mathematics? This is a very deep subject."
"Of course, professor."
"Then come with me, from today on, you are my student, my name is James Moriarty."
"Thank you, Professor Moriarty."
Standing at the door of the pub, Holmes looked at the rising sun in the sky, dazed, and muttered:
"A beautiful day has begun again."
