Chapter 35 Solve the case and get the territory? Come to "Sherlock Holmes" when you have time...
"Sherlock Holmes lives up to his reputation." Red Hood clapped his hands.
The men behind him immediately went to untie the ropes for Sherlock and the others.
"Thank you." Liu Shu held Di Ting and placed him on the chair they brought, then sat on another one himself.
But it wasn't over yet. Someone placed a small round table next to her, and then placed a dessert table and teapot and cups on the table.
Watson looked at Red Hood with a strange look in his eyes.
"?" Red Hood is innocent, he didn't say he wanted to use these things.
"Do you want to eat?" Liu Shu saw that they were all looking at the dessert table.
Is this the point? Sherlock rubbed his wrist. He found that Liu Shu actually had connections in the Red Hood Gang. No wonder he dared to come.
"We have this here?" Red Hood suspected that he had become stupid because of working too long.
"Yes, I found a chef a few days ago." George came in holding a pile of papers.
"Wait," Red Hood raised his hand. He felt overwhelmed by the sight of work. "You go out first."
"Well, remember to look, these are the new ones from those stores..." Even if he went out, the printed documents would not disappear.
"I understand. You go out first," Red Hood realized that if he didn't run, he would really be unable to escape. "You go out too," he said to the others.
Once the four of them were alone in the room, Red Hood spoke.
"I want you to solve a case."
Finally reaching Sherlock's territory, he nodded for Red Hood to continue.
"You're from out of town, so I won't introduce you to a title," Red Hood glanced at Liu Shu, who wasn't from here either. "I want you to help an old man find the murderer of his daughter."
It sounded like he was doing charity work, but Watson was skeptical; he didn't think it was true.
"Let's go." Sherlock agreed. Although they were sitting on chairs now, the reward for this commission was their lives. He would not resist in this situation.
Red Hood opened the window and seemed to want to go out.
"Can we go through the door?" Watson made his first request as only Red Hood himself could jump down without getting hurt.
Liu Shu put the chain back on Di Ting and opened the door of the room.
It's so funny. A gangster boss actually has to hide from his subordinates and escape. Is the job so difficult?
The culprit who caused Red Hood's current situation didn't think about her own problems at all. She gave the chain of listening to Red Hood.
"That way we can get out."
"Why?"
"Don't you think they'll be so surprised they won't notice where you're walking?"
Was this the way to solve it?
The Red Hood in the passenger seat had an inexplicably liberated air about him, and he threw two guns to the back.
"You..." Watson didn't understand why he was so bold. It was not a good thing to hand over the weapon to the person behind him.
"He thinks we're too weak." Sherlock put away his weapon, even though he didn't think he would need it.
"Just stay in the car." Red Hood picked up the Di Ting on his leg with one hand and wanted to throw it back, but he just took it with him.
"No, she has to follow." Sherlock caught the little listening dog and turned it around to face forward.
“——” It sat quietly, like a toy.
Ryushu was still eating the small cake given to her by the Red Hood gang, but when she heard the words beside her, she went from eating calmly to eating in confusion.
"You also said that we're helping an old man find the murderer of his daughter. I don't know what the reward is, but the competition must be very fierce. Taking her with us might make that old man stand out."
Now Liu Shu understood that she was the kind of pendant that gave her a luck value of +1.
Red Hood thought this made sense, so he put his arm on the car window and looked back through the rearview mirror.
"Cough cough..." Liu Shu accidentally choked because he was being stared at.
"Water." Ofer was driving, but he still took out his hand and handed a bottle of mineral water to the back. This was dangerous driving. Although people in the car would not care about this kind of thing, handing water itself was strange.
"?" Red Hood slowly turned his head and looked at him. This man was known for being hard-hearted in their gang. How could he do such a thing? He was acting strangely in the bar just now. Does the Red Hood Gang belong to him or to this little girl?
"She's my neighbor," Ofer's explanation was effective.
Sherlock glanced at Watson. He didn't expect that Liu Shu had such strong connections and was already among the top members of the gang.
But Watson didn't understand the meaning of this look. He just felt that the Red Hood Gang was not what he thought.
"I'll wait for you here." Ofer stopped the car and they arrived at the place.
"You can go back now." Sherlock put Di Ting on the ground and let it walk on its own.
He looked at the house in front of him and said, "We will definitely be able to take on this commission."
Red Hood got out of the car and took two steps. He crossed his fingers and cracked his hands together. "Do you know the contents of the commission?"
"The person in there is in the same industry as you, and you want his legacy."
"How do you know that?"
"The look in your eyes."
"** eyes?" He wore a helmet to hide his face. Who could read the information from it? Red Hood rolled his eyes.
Why are you still cursing? Liushu took Di Ting and walked towards the building. She seemed to know the goal for today.
After successfully catching the detective, Red Hood finally had an excuse to go out for a walk without looking at the documents and decided to show them some good face.
"Mr. Red Hood, please come in." The person at the door helped them open the door.
Sherlock saw through these people, right? Liu Shu tightened his grip on the chain. Why was he teasing the Red Hood? Was he testing his limits?
A deep laugh came from beside me.
It seems Red Hood has noticed it too.
"You're much smarter than you look." Sherlock faced the wall of muscles, but thought of another person in his mind.
He had a strange intuition that this red hood might be related to the family he was currently staying with.
Was it just intuition? Why did he have such a thought? Sherlock wanted to find evidence.
None of the lights in the house were on, but luckily it was a sunny day, so I could see the road clearly.
They soon walked into a room where there was a swivel chair in front of a gorgeous French window, with his back to them.
"I didn't expect you to find the best detective in Britain." The voice came from the chair.
"No competition?"
"Wouldn't it be like putting my life on the line if a big shot like you participated in the competition?"
Red Hood's eyes rested on the documents on the desk.
"This is the property transfer agreement." The front of the chair finally turned towards them, and an old man was sitting on it. There was a scar on his mouth, and he looked ferocious, but his old body reduced his aura by more than half. It was not difficult to see what he would do when he was young.
"Sit down."
After that it was story time. Liushu held Di Ting and stroked him from time to time. She concluded that this man was a gang leader. He fought and killed people when he was young, but he still had prestige even when he was old.
He had a daughter who eloped with someone and died in a car accident. He then sank his daughter's boyfriend into the sea and released him. Before he went into the water, he said, "It wasn't me."
"From time to time I think of my daughter and his last words. If he is really innocent, who is it?"
Is there a possibility that it was really a car accident, or that the person wanted to live before dying? Liu Shu listened for a long time, only to know that this person seemed to be looking for someone to investigate the case for an idea.
No one would really want to give away their territory for free.
"Why don't you just take this place over?" The old man knew that he couldn't beat Red Hood, not because he was old, but because Red Hood was too strong. He was strong himself, and his subordinates were also strong.
"Why fight when you can get it for free?" Sherlock said confidently. He already understood.
"Not only territory and weapons, I also want your source of goods." There are channels for smuggling arms, and this is what the new forces lack the most. Red Hood wants a lot, but he knows that it will not be enough if a fight breaks out.
"Sign it."
The Red Hood standing on the side of the road finally couldn't help but said, "You cunning old bastard."
Sherlock laughed twice. He knew that Red Hood had arrested him in vain today.
"What?" Watson was still immersed in the story told by the man. He didn't expect that the gang leader's old age life would be like this.
"He wants to give the territory to Red Hood so that he can take care of him in the future."
"ah?"
No wonder the story feels so familiar, it's plagiarized. He has no competitors because he's been waiting for Red Hood to arrive, and the property transfer agreement must have included a requirement for Red Hood to be responsible for his later years.
It’s really a free gift. Liu Shu turned around and looked at the not-so-happy Red Hood. Why is he unhappy when it’s already a gift?
"Boss, let's go back." Ofer's car arrived.
Finally, Red Hood didn't have to face a table full of documents. Because of a certain old man's territory, he couldn't play outside and had more work to do. He got into the car with sadness.
"He seems very sad." Watson waved hesitantly at Red Hood.
"I hope he'll be happier after defeating the Penguin." Sherlock's blessing made Liu Shu's mind a little confused.
"How do you know who he's going to hit?"
"I spent a lot of time last night researching Gotham villains."
"Where did he fight? Isn't there a Black Mask?"
"Black Mask had long been betrayed by his allies. After realizing that even if they joined forces they couldn't defeat Red Hood, Penguin simply attacked Black Mask first."
No, why does he know so much? Who lives in Gotham? Liu Shu watched him take a taxi in silence.
"That Red Hood, you know..." Sherlock chose to sit in the back seat this time. He turned around and wanted to ask Liu Shu about the Red Hood.
"You know."
Liu Shu closed her eyes. Haha, don’t ask her anymore. Go ask Yan Ou. No one will see through her expression.
Sherlock said nothing more and remained silent all the way.
"What do you want to know about Red Hood?" Liu Shu felt that there was no particularly big conflict between them.
At most, Bruce's family will have one less car.
Wait, that incident this morning wasn't something Red Hood did on purpose, did he just see the Wayne family's car and find a reason to seize it?
"We wanted to ask you about Wu today. Bruce said she was recharging her energy and hasn't woken up yet."
"?" He didn't even ask Red Hood?
After a while, when the car stopped at Liu Shu's house, Sherlock spoke again: "How long will it take to charge?"
"It depends on the situation. If it's charging, it can be fully charged in a year or two," Liu Shu walked up the stairs, "That's why you came to Crime Alley." She opened the door of her house. Sherlock kept it a secret.
"It seems that it will cost a lot of money to keep her moving." Then Bruce is very suitable to support her. Sherlock stood at the door and asked the driver and Watson to wait for him downstairs.
"Does Red Hood have any connection to Wayne Manor?"
