Personality V: I will save everything

"I said, have you all forgotten something?" Andrew stood at the door and said helplessly. He really couldn't help it, watching everyone busy, but seemed to have completely overlooked a very important thing.

"Someone's already dead. Have you forgotten to call the police?" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, as if reminding everyone of an obvious fact.

However, after Andrew's reminder, everyone realized as if awakened from a dream. From the beginning, they were only concerned with investigating the scene and examining the deceased, and they had completely forgotten about calling the police!

Mycroft woke up as if from a dream. He was about to go downstairs to call the police when Andrew suddenly stopped him.

"No need, I've already reported it." Andrew said lightly, seeming to be very confident in his actions.

However, seeing Mycroft's puzzled look, Andrew added: "I guess you guys didn't even notice that I left the door." There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if implying everyone's negligence.

.................................................. ........................

Not long after, a sirens sounded from far away, followed by a group of uniformed police officers filing in.

Seeing this, Holmes hurried forward, led them into the room, and prepared to give them a detailed introduction to the situation on the scene.

However, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that Andrew seemed to have a strong interest in something in the room. Andrew stood in front of a portrait, motionless, concentrating on it, as if he had completely forgotten everything around him.

"What's wrong?" Holmes was puzzled and walked quickly to Andrew. He followed his gaze and found that he was staring at the painting "Daughter of Herodias".

"Oh, nothing." Andrew came back to his senses and explained with a smile, "It's just that this painting reminded me of a show that Natasha once performed for her husband. You know, Natasha is Stellan and Inara's mother."

He paused and continued, "She once played the role of Salome on stage. It was such an unforgettable performance! Although it has been a long time, I am still impressed by her performance."

This sounds like just a very ordinary everyday topic. If it were any other time, Holmes would definitely be very happy to chat with him.

However, at this moment, he was busy explaining the situation at the scene to the police officers and had no time to take care of anything else.

Just as he was about to turn around, Andrew suddenly added, "Even if this painting is a copy, it's really too bad, isn't it? Look at the hem of Salome's skirt, it doesn't look like this at all!"

Andrew pointed to a certain part of the painting, apparently pointing out what he thought was a mistake. Holmes was moved when he heard this, and he quickly moved closer to the picture to observe it carefully.

You don't know until you look at it carefully. After a closer look, Holmes immediately discovered the clue.

It turned out that the so-called "error" pointed out by Andrew was not a mistake at all, but someone deliberately drew three Masonic compass symbols on the oil painting with a fine needle!

Due to the coverage and obstruction of oil paint, this logo is generally difficult to detect, and its existence can only be vaguely seen at a specific angle.

It seems that this is a rather complicated case.

the other side,

William couldn't help but feel helpless and amused. He really admired his brother Thomas.

Although he knew that Thomas had been forced by their father to learn medical knowledge for more than ten years, which might have caused his motor nerves to no longer be as sharp as before, William never expected that Thomas would be so vulnerable and a complete waste.

Specifically, when William's leg plaster was removed, he intended to immediately start training. However, surprisingly, not only Lydia, but also Thomas and his teammates all urged him to rest aside.

Lydia and Thomas's concerns are understandable. They are worried that William will be injured again due to overtraining. After all, William has just recovered from his injury and needs to give his body enough time to adapt and recover.

As for the players, they were simply afraid that William would continue to adopt that almost crazy devilish training mode.

That kind of training intensity is simply not something a human can endure. Their captain may be a superman, but they are not!

Not only that, it was because of William's injury that the administrators of the Grabbi Football League had to keep their team out of the game for a whole year.

The reason behind this is actually quite simple. Under William's outstanding leadership and strict training, their team is so strong that every time they participate in the competition, the championship is almost a foregone conclusion.

Even though this team is extremely strong, what fun is there for other teams to participate in the competition?

As a result, William can only sit bored in a chair next to the football training ground. When people are extremely free, they are often prone to sudden ideas.

William suddenly remembered that Thomas seemed to be quite talented in sports, so he picked up a football and decided to let Thomas have a try.

Then, Thomas started a competition with the weakest player in their team.

However, what was unexpected was that Thomas was violently pushed to the ground by the opponent in an instant.

Fortunately, someone behind him had prepared a sponge pad for him in advance, which avoided the risk of injury.

"Hahaha, Captain, it seems your brother doesn't have the same athletic talent as you."

A team member laughed and said, patting William who was standing aside and watching the farce. However, in the face of such ridicule, William just raised his eyebrows expressionlessly at Thomas who was lying on the ground.

Thomas could naturally understand the meaning contained in William's eyes - it was an undisguised contempt and ridicule, as if saying: "Why have you become so vulnerable now?"

It is not surprising that William would look at his brother in this way. After all, Thomas was much more mischievous than William back then.

Before the terrible plague came, when his eldest brother and sister were still alive, Thomas was a notoriously naughty child.

Thomas at that time was full of energy and vigor, and his athletic talent was even better than William's.

If it weren't for a series of changes that happened later, perhaps Thomas would be more suitable to be a Grab football player than William.

Unfortunately, fate always likes to play tricks on people. Thomas destroyed his own talent with his own hands, just like putting a heavy collar on himself, becoming a good son who was obedient and at the mercy of others without any freedom.

.................................................. ........................

"Wow, Captain, your plaster has been removed! Doesn't that mean you don't need to avoid certain foods for now? Hey, in that case, why don't we go have a drink together to celebrate?"

One of the team members put his arms around William's neck with a big smile on his face and suggested excitedly.

William raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and answered readily: "Okay!"

.................................................. ........................

"Wow, what a coincidence!" x2

(??)

These two exclamations seemed to freeze time. William and Kurt looked at each other with disbelief written all over their faces. It was obvious that they had not expected to meet each other unexpectedly in this place.

Logically, after enjoying the beef stew carefully prepared by Itakuya last time, Kurt should not worry about food anymore.

However, the problem lies precisely in this sumptuous meal. Itakuya made so much beef stew that Kurt could not help but worry when he looked at the pile of frozen beef stew in the refrigerator.

Kurt was anxious to see that the delicious beef stew was going to go bad because he couldn't finish it. At this moment, Demi happened to have an idea and came up with a brilliant idea.

She suggested selling the beef stew in her tavern, which would serve as a side dish and earn Kurt some extra income.

After all, Kurt did not take a penny for the royalties this time in order to publish the photos of the missing children in the book, and now he is in financial difficulties.

As for Demi, she did exactly as she had promised before. She didn't charge Kurt a penny whether he came to her place to drink or eat.

However, what Demi did not expect was that she originally thought that as a famous writer, Mr. Kurt must have extensive connections.

But what she never expected was that Mr. Coote was actually acquainted with the Grabbi football star.

Normally speaking, the circles they both belong to are completely unrelated. After all, one is a leader in the field of literature, and the other is a superstar in the sports world. The gap between these two fields is quite large.

Just as Demi was secretly surprised, William slowly pulled out a chair next to the bar, then sat down and sat steadily next to Mr. Kurt.

He seemed unconcerned about Demi's surprise. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then he explained the reason why he and Mr. Kurt met.

"We knew each other before we became famous, so we have always been good brothers."

.................................................. ........................

"Hmm~ Itakuya's cooking skills are pretty good!" William exclaimed as he tasted the beef stew made by Itakuya. It tasted really good, the beef was stewed very well and melted in the mouth, and the soup was rich and mellow, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.

"How did you come up with the idea of selling this beef stew?" William asked Kurt curiously. He really couldn't understand why Kurt couldn't finish such delicious beef stew and had to sell it in the tavern?

Kurt smiled helplessly and explained, "Because he made me a whole refrigerator full of beef stew! Can you imagine? A whole refrigerator full of beef stew!"

He exaggeratedly gestured to show the size of the refrigerator and continued,

"I was quite happy at first because there were so many delicious foods. But after eating them for three weeks in a row, I couldn't eat any more."

William couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He could understand Kurt's feelings. No matter how good something is, if you eat it every day, you will get bored.

.................................................. ........................

When two men who know each other get together to drink, after drinking too much, they tend to talk nonsense.

William complained to Kurt about his brother. In fact, until now, William seemed to be just pushed forward by everyone. He still couldn't forgive his father and brother.

Kurt listened to William's complaints, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Every family has some family disputes. Maybe they also have some difficulties of their own."

Take Kurt for example. He was sent to a mental hospital by his own family. Did he hate it?

Of course he hated him before, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't hate him so much anymore. After all, his family was not rich and powerful. They didn't throw him on the street to fend for himself, but sent him to a mental hospital. It was already very good. After all, his illness was really fatal.

What's more, Kurt still has a very long time left in his life. If he uses all the remaining time to hate, wouldn't that be a pity?

William smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Difficulties? I think they are just cowards."

At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open and Thomas stood at the door panting.

He saw William at a glance and walked over quickly, “William, why are you drinking here! Your leg injury has just healed, you can’t drink!”

William frowned, "Don't worry about my own business." Thomas' face flushed with anxiety, "Dad will be angry if he knows you are drinking here." William sneered, "Am I afraid that he will be angry? Can he control me for so many years?"

Thomas was choked and speechless, his eyes full of helplessness and grievance.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Kurt quickly tried to smooth things over, "Come, sit down and have a drink together, and we can talk slowly about anything." Thomas hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

William picked up his glass and said, "Let's make things clear today."
