Sherlock Holmes handed the phone, which he had just sent, back to Tang Yu with a smug look on his face.

"Of course, I have just told Moriarty that if he asks the newspapers to publish these photos..."

"I'll drag you to register our marriage tomorrow, and the day after that we'll begin our world honeymoon, never to return to England."

Sherlock had barely finished speaking when Moriarty's reply arrived.

"Sherlock Holmes, now an ordinary man entangled in love, do you still deserve to be my opponent? The game begins anew!"

After reading the message, Sherlock placed the phone in Tang Yu's palm, a smile playing on his lips.

“You’re right, he really can’t stand us being close together.”

Tang Yu never expected that Sherlock could use marriage to threaten Moriarty into abandoning his plan to ruin her reputation.

"Sherlock, what kind of design do you like?"

"Peach Blossom."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu's eyebrows and eyes instantly relaxed, like a flower blooming in the warm spring sun, breathtakingly beautiful.

She slowly approached Sherlock, her soft body almost pressed against him, her hair gently falling down, carrying a faint fragrance.

She tiptoed slightly, her rosy lips close to Sherlock's ear, her breath warm and alluring.

"Okay, I won't take away your enjoyment of the game, but if you need any help, remember to ask me."

After saying this, Tang Yu turned around and went inside to pack her suitcase. She planned to leave here and return to China to participate in a concert.

"John, I hope you and Sherlock have a pleasant time ahead."

After saying this, Tang Yu turned to look at Sherlock, her eyes full of smiles.

Before I leave, let me play a piece for you.

This time, Tang Yu played a beautiful piece on Sherlock's violin.

When Watson snapped out of his reverie from the gentle, moving music, he found the two of them embracing and kissing.

Afterwards, Watson and Sherlock went downstairs together and escorted Tang Yu to the door. After Tang Yu got into the car and left, Watson asked her curiously.

"You two just had a riddle-like conversation. What gift did you want? Also, that piece of music was beautiful. Did it have any special meaning?"

Sherlock went back upstairs and sat down at the table to continue his experiments. It was quite a while before he answered Watson's question.

“I asked Yuyu to go to China to carve a jade piece in the shape of a peach blossom for me, and she agreed.”

"Yuyu?" Watson asked, puzzled.

Sherlock smiled, then revealed a confident and boastful expression.

"Of course, this is the name she likes."

"Okay, you've known each other for so long before you finally revealed your names to each other?"

"No, that's what I guessed! Besides, John, I still don't know your full name."

Watson fell silent; he loathed the middle name and didn't want to talk about it.

"I feel like you really liked that piece of music, and I liked it too, but I always felt like you two were playing a guessing game."

Sherlock Holmes did not answer the question; instead, he smiled slightly.

Before boarding the plane, Tang Yu sent a message.

Do you like that piece of music?

"I like this promise, and I promise I will protect you."

A month later, Sherlock Holmes met Irene Adler.

"Moriarty sent you? Have those terrorist organizations been bored lately?"

Eileen Adler was quite surprised: "How did you know?"

Sherlock's lips curled into a faint smile, a smile that exuded an air of absolute confidence.

“I’ve been studying Moriarty’s criminal network for the past few months. He has a few regular ways of contacting people. I just checked how many people he’s in close contact with.”

In this game, Sherlock Holmes was originally in a passive position.

Moriarty was like a ghost hiding in a dark corner, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. No one could figure out what he was planning, let alone when he would suddenly jump out and start making a move.

However, Tang Yu was ruthless; she uncovered Moriarty's entire criminal network and shared all this information with Sherlock.

No matter how capable Moriarty was, he still needed his subordinates to work for him.

In this process, he can render his pieces useless countless times and watch helplessly as his pieces are sent to their deaths.

But he still needs to hire new pawns to continue his work.

But surely he needs to do it himself to kidnap someone?

Therefore, as long as he still needs people to do things, he will inevitably expose his weaknesses.

Sherlock Holmes merely had access to Moriarty's criminal network.

"So why did you come to see me today?" Eileen Adler was somewhat frustrated; the plan had not started in the way she had imagined.

"Moriarty has hidden himself again. I need you to pass on a message to him."

Eileen Adler hadn't expected this reason, and she asked rather boredly.

What do you want me to tell you?

"This time, I'll decide when the game starts."

Once you know the enemy's trump card, you will have the initiative in the game, since you can see the flow of funds under Moriarty's control.

From a profit perspective, anything that involves an organization is the simplest and easiest to resolve.

Tang Yu had no interest in Moriarty's identity as a criminal consultant; no one living in this world can escape the exchange of money and interests.

Even Sherlock Holmes had to maintain his network of relationships with London's homeless population.

Therefore, Tang Yu decided to take drastic measures.

She wanted to let Moriarty experience what it was like to live on the run.

This guy attempted to murder her several times, and once even tried to ruin her reputation, though Sherlock stopped him.

However, Tang Yu would not let the other party off the hook; she was a very vengeful person.

So for Tang Yu, Sherlock's decision to let her leave was merely a temporary measure.

Sherlock knew her personality, so he sent Tang Yu to a place where Moriarty had no power whatsoever.

Thus, Moriarty had no control over what she started doing next.

Therefore, Sherlock Holmes also disappeared in London the following day.

Actually, starting from the third season of Sherlock, Sherlock was already very sincere. He really tried his best to protect Watson and Mary and to help them reconcile their marriage.

However, this character's persona is that 90% of his world revolves around seeking thrills, and the remaining 10% is probably spent with family and friends. Although it's only 10%, he would protect them with his life.

Chapter 12 Sherlock Holmes

In Italy, sunlight streams into the ancient square, where crowds throng and create a lively atmosphere.

Sherlock disguised himself as a traveling photographer and then searched for people in the crowd.

"So, this is a puzzle?" Sherlock's eyes gleamed with excitement and a sense of challenge.

"Darling, I'm just indulging your unique hobby." Tang Yu's voice was soft yet tinged with a hint of slyness.

"If you can find me within three minutes, then I'll listen to you tonight; if it takes more than three minutes, then I'll listen to you tonight."

Upon hearing this, Sherlock's already excited expression rose even higher, like a warrior about to go to battle, with every cell in his body mobilized.

His eyes were sharp as he quickly searched the bustling square for any potential targets, not missing a single corner, or any subtle movement or expression.

Tang Yu sat leisurely reading the newspaper, waiting for Sherlock to sit down in front of her.

"One minute and fifty-eight seconds!"

Sherlock's confident and triumphant voice broke the noise in the square, "I've found you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to lean forward and gently kiss Tang Yu, the kiss filled with the joy and pride of victory.

"Alright, I've already booked the room. You have to listen to me today!"

Tang Yu forcibly pulled the person in front of her to sit down.

"I said it was at night! Now tell me why."

"I'm sure I've altered my physique thoroughly enough. My scent is a mixture of various perfumes, and my hair and eyes have been meticulously disguised. It's almost impossible to tell. How did you do that?"

Sherlock smiled smugly, gently took Tang Yu's finger, and kissed it tenderly.

"The red-haired, blue-eyed beauty looks very different from you. I could never have identified you based on your facial features and body shape."

"so what?"

Tang Yu grew increasingly curious, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"You know, anytime, anywhere, even if you disguise all your clothes, even if you imitate the posture perfectly, there is one thing you can never fake: your eyes."

Tang Yu immediately lowered her head and smiled.

"Okay, you're right, I don't have a talent for acting."

Sherlock smiled smugly, stood up, stretched out his arms, and suddenly pulled Tang Yu into his embrace.

Tang Yu couldn't help but gasp softly, her hands instinctively wrapping around Sherlock's neck, then whispering against his neck.

"Sherlock, keep a low profile. We're here to secretly deal with Moriarty's forces."

Sherlock's lips curled into a carefree smile, his eyes brimming with unwavering confidence.

"I have identified the location of this hideout, and the operation will take place the day after tomorrow."

So, from this moment on, your time belongs to me. I booked the room a long time ago, and you have to do as I say today!

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a sly smile flashing in her eyes, and then gently bit Sherlock's neck.
