"That's more like it..."
Xiao Ai nodded contentedly and loosened her hands that were twisting around her boyfriend's soft waist.
Sakaki Makoto, who had luckily escaped, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up with lingering fear, and muttered:
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and used all the scriptures and references..."
Standing up and walking to the table, Professor Moriarty was shot in the abdomen, and it seemed that the renal artery was injured. Blood was flowing out and he was about to die.
He was still holding the bomb in his arms. When he saw Sakaki Makoto approaching, he showed no intention of pulling the fuse. The corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled strangely:
"Still...I win."
Seeing the bomb in his arms, Sakaki looked at the hat on the table again, his face darkened:
"Why?"
Professor Moriarty hides two bombs in his hat, one real and one fake.
The one he was holding in his arms was a fake one; the real one was in the hat.
Sakaki Makoto didn't believe that he had taken the wrong one.
"I told you..."
Professor Moriarty forced himself to sit up, his abdomen aching, and his face turned pale as paper and his lips blue due to excessive blood loss.
"Lian Ye is no match for Holmes at the moment..."
"Once I die, Lianye will definitely become Holmes' enemy..."
"Blowing you up has no real benefit other than making me feel good."
"so..."
Sakaki Makoto frowned and said word by word:
"Are you forcing me to shoot?"
"I will never lose to Sherlock Holmes, never!"
As if a flash of light had come back to him, Professor Moriarty's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Now that I have won, I have completed the final plan. Lianye will learn the final knowledge from my death. He will no longer have weaknesses!"
"Master murderer... So your goal is to turn Karasuma Renya into a demon who is not swayed by emotions."
Sakaki Makoto said:
"You opened the cage on purpose. Compared to Jack the Ripper, it's obvious that Karasuma Renya is the successor you chose."
“That’s right!”
Professor Moriarty laughed wildly, and blood kept gushing out of the wound covered by his left hand:
"I am old and I won't live for many more years, but my dream is not fulfilled, so I need an excellent successor..."
"When I first met Lianye, I was shocked. Everyone in this world has a corresponding seven deadly sins, otherwise he is a complete good guy... He is not!"
"The look in his eyes is exactly the same as mine when I was young, full of ambition, yet able to hide his nature very well, like a lynx in the forest, ready to pounce at any time and bite to death any hunter with a gun!"
"For the blood I shed today, Lian Ye will demand it back a hundredfold from the world someday!"
"Tell me this, aren't you afraid..."
Sakaki Makoto's eyes flashed:
"Should I kill him now?"
"You won't, because you are a sentimental person."
His body suddenly relaxed, his back collapsed, and Professor Moriarty turned back into the lonely old man:
"Remember what I told you at the Poker Tavern?"
"We are of the same kind. Moran has followed me for many years. He is responsible for half of the business in the underground world. After I die, he will be the biggest hidden danger."
"But I can't do it...I can only use you to get rid of him."
"Professor Moriarty is indeed as cruel and ruthless as his reputation has been."
Shaking his head, Sakaki Makoto changed the subject:
"There is no friendship between Karasuma Renya and me. I don't feel any psychological pressure to kill him."
"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:
"I am the final winner of this game. I could have killed your woman, but I didn't. I also helped you collect photos and let your companions go..."
"But you killed Brother Hattori."
"You also killed me. The grudge between us should be settled."
The pupils began to dilate. Professor Moriarty's body was exhausted and on its deathbed. Everything in front of him was blurry and he couldn't see anything clearly. He held on to his breath and said:
"If Lian Ye is compared to me back then, then you are Moran who assisted me back then..."
"I hope...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 this, Professor Moriarty used up all his strength, his vital signs disappeared, his arms fell, and the key hung alone in his hand.
Sakaki Makoto took a look at the key, picked up the silver snake cane standing beside him, turned around, took Ai's hand, and walked out of the back door of the tavern.
He also didn't tell Ai that the bomb was fake.
When I went out the back door, I happened to meet Sherlock Holmes.
Holmes also came on horseback. He and Makoto Sakaki created a time difference. Makoto Sakaki appeared in the tavern first in order to attract the sniper's attention, so that Holmes could sneak into the town quietly and take the enemy by surprise.
Seeing the silver snake cane in Makoto Sakaki's hand, Holmes 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 was meaningful. Makoto Sakaki and Holmes looked at each other and smiled calmly:
