Sherlock Holmes

The wind is very cold tonight, the smell of blood on my body is choking, and the feeling on my hands is very painful.

But it doesn't matter anymore, he just wants to escape now.

Desperate to escape.

The snow under his feet had been frozen for several hours and became very smooth. He fell several times and his clothes were scratched by the building railings on the roadside. There were even several bloody gashes on his body through his clothes. , but it doesn’t matter.

His name is Andrew. Maybe Andre.

No matter what, the past few months of confusion have long made him unable to remember his own name.

He only vaguely remembered how cruel and terrifying the small demon was; and the man who was on the train just now actually made the demon feel fear, so it is conceivable that the man must be more powerful than Demons are even more terrifying.

"Why should this happen to me? Why."

He babbled nervously, then saw a small alley in front of him, and he immediately ran in.

There is a proverb in the Empire: "A beautiful woman will feel sick after a long time."

In the same way, if a person is extremely unlucky, he may get some good luck. For example, Andrew is lucky enough to find that there are several clothing stores in this alley, and they are the closest to him. In a shop, the lock on the window turned out to be just a small external wooden bolt.

There is no perfect way for everyone!

He immediately rushed over, grabbed the wooden bolt with his hand that was still intact, broke it directly, then pulled open the window and got in.

After that, he carefully closed the window and tried not to make the slightest sound.

After doing this, he was still worried, so he walked further into the store, and finally found a row of wardrobes in the corner in the dark.

Andrew picked the innermost one and hid in it.

There were several small hollow gaps on the top of the wardrobe door. After adapting to the darkness, he was able to observe the outside through the gaps.

"That guy can't find me. He definitely can't."

He kept praying in his heart.

However, not long after, there was only a soft sound of "click, click, click", which was the sound of the door lock being turned, followed by another "squeak", which seemed extremely long and clear in the darkness.

It was obvious that the door of the shop had been pushed open; the man came in! ! !

Andrew's cold sweat oozed from his forehead drop by drop. He didn't know why the man could open the door lock;

Well, being able to pick locks is not a rare skill these days. The key thing is, why does that guy know he is here?

"It's impossible. He doesn't know. The best this guy can do is come in and take a look around. If he finds that there is no trace of me, he will leave."

The hooded man began to comfort himself, and this small, closed and narrow wardrobe also gave him a sense of security.

"Click, click"

A burst of slow footsteps came closer and closer,

Andrew's whole heart was in his throat, and his whole body tensed uncontrollably! !

Then, he heard the sound of the closet door next to him being pulled open.

It was very light and slow, but it was like a slow knife gently cutting off a piece of scalp, which made him want to scream out uncontrollably. Fortunately, he covered his mouth with all his strength and did not let himself make a single sound. .

Immediately afterwards, the second cabinet door was opened, and then the third. Soon, the cabinet door next to him was also opened, and the sound of the metal bearings rubbing against each other was heard through a thin layer. The iron plate is close at hand.

Andrew only felt a wetness in his crotch, and he peed.

I have to say that this young man's psychological quality does not seem to be that bad. Even after this, he still did not make any sound. He just hoped that his clothes today would be thick enough to cover up the odor in his crotch.

At this time, through the gap in the cabinet door, he finally stared with frightened eyes and saw the man in the windbreaker walking towards the closet where he was.

Then he slowly stretched out his hand, preparing to open the cabinet door.

"No!!! No!!!!" He felt his scalp numb and could only keep roaring in his heart.

It seemed that the Holy Light heard his prayer, so the man in front of him suddenly stopped moving, as if he felt it was unnecessary, or maybe he was addicted to cigarettes.

Anyway, he took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Andrew felt that he had never smelled such a choking smell of smoke in his life. The smell came in through the small cracks in the door, and then moved mercilessly into the gaps between his fingertips and reached his nose. , he instantly felt his airway suddenly spasming.

But he didn't cough, let alone make a sound. He just used the willpower before death to suppress the instinct to cough loudly, almost suffocating in pain.

After five full seconds, the man in front of me finally turned around and left.

Andrew's whole heart began to cheer up!

Start cheering!

He was saved, and this time, luck was finally on his side.

But he did not relax, and still tried his best to suppress the urge to cough. He persisted like this for about 30 seconds. After making sure that there was no sound around him, and counting the time, the man must have left the store. Then he finally coughed twice gently, 'cough~cough~'.

It was only then that he finally dared to put down the hand covering his mouth. He was sweating profusely, as if he was exhausted.

Finally escaped.

However, at the moment when he relaxed, Andrew suddenly realized that something was wrong.

That's why, even after everyone left, the smell of smoke still didn't go away?

He stood in the closet, turned his head in the direction from which the smell of smoke came, and looked to the side. Then he saw a small hole in the wall of the closet.

It looks like a beam for hanging clothes.

Maybe because he was too nervous, he didn't think much about it and subconsciously raised his eyes.

Then

In that hole, I saw an eye, staring directly at me from the other end.

“surprise~~~”

“Uh ah ah ah——”

A scream filled the London night sky.
