When Shylock and Watson walked into "My Chinese Restaurant", they saw Moriarty talking to a girl in a chef's robe.
From the way the two of them talked and the distance between them, it could be seen that..,
Their relationship was not bad.
What was different from Sherlock was that,
Watson was completely attracted by the aroma of food floating in the air as soon as he entered the restaurant.
Everywhere he looked, there were hot and tempting dishes. He looked at the happiness and joy on the faces of the diners because they tasted the delicacies that were almost undisguised.
It simply warmed his heart.
If he had followed Shylock to New York in the beginning to find out the reason and purpose of Moriarty's stay in New York with him,
If he had decided to come to "My Chinese Restaurant" with Shylock to solve the problem of lunch, then now Watson was simply eager to taste the delicious Chinese food in this Chinese restaurant.
However, before Watson could open his mouth, a voice suddenly rang out.
Sherlock walked towards Moriarty and his companions. Seeing this, Sherlock walked towards Moriarty.
He hurriedly followed after her.
As Sherlock and Watson approached, Sherlock and Watson began to move closer.
Issou noticed them. She tilted her head slightly and her gaze fell on them.
"Issou,
These are my two friends. "
Naturally, Moriarty introduced Izu to the group.
"They are very curious as to why I am teaching at Empire State University,
That's why I brought them here to personally experience my answer. "
Hearing Moriarty's words..,
Issou could not help but recall what he had said when they first met,
Before she could say anything..,
She could not help but reveal a smile on her face.
She said, "Don't worry,
Although your answer does sound very unreliable,
But I will make them believe it. "
Issou looked at Shylock and Watson with a relaxed and sweet smile on her face. "Hello, my name is Issou, welcome to 'My Chinese Restaurant'."
Of course, at this moment, Issou naively thought that Shylock and Watson were just Moriarty's friends, until they introduced themselves..
"Hello, Issou." Facing Issou's smiling face, Watson subconsciously showed her a friendly smile. "My name is John Watson, you can call me John."
Issou: "…???"
John Watson?!
Shylock's blue-green eyes looked at Issou and said, "Shylock Holmes."
Issou: "…!!!"
Shylock Holmes?!!
To be honest, after seeing Charles Professor X Xavier, who had hair but did not use a wheelchair, and Tony Iron Man Stark, Issou was very clear about one fact —
She would definitely meet more people like him in the future who "did not match the person in the picture".
But! Yes!
Dr. Watson, who looked like a cute teddy bear?!
Sherlock Holmes with a long face and a head of curly hair?!
Is this scientific?!
"You know us? No, you don't know me and John, but you know our names. " Shylock, who had the ability to see through everything, immediately saw through Issou's reaction. "You're surprised, in disbelief? Why? How did you know our names? "
Compared to Watson, Shylock's purpose was much more "simple". He was not here to eat, nor was he here to confirm that the Chinese food in this Chinese restaurant was really that good. He simply wanted to find out the secrets of "My Chinese Restaurant" and the reason why Moriarty frequently appeared here.
Therefore, when he entered the restaurant, Watson focused on the aroma of food in the air, while Shylock's eyes scanned the people in the restaurant (especially Issou). The conclusion he came to was —
The waiters and diners in "My Chinese Restaurant" had more secrets than Issou.
But now, Issou's reaction made Shylock overturn his previous thoughts. He observed her again and discovered something —
She pretended not to know the other identity of those people when she knew the other identity of those people.
"Interesting."
Shylock's blue-green eyes were usually like a calm lake, giving people a sense of coldness and alienation. But at this time, when he stared deeply into Issou's eyes, she felt as if the cold lake was about to surge and drown her.
Even if today was the first time Issou saw Shylock Holmes in person, in her original world, she already knew how awesome he was from novels.
Issou expressed that she did not want to try his amazing deduction method at all. Who knew if he would reveal her biggest secret?
So, looking at Shylock, who was staring at her, the black-haired girl grabbed the menu on the cashier and smashed it in his face, "Come, come, come, let's see what you want to eat."
Shylock, who was smashed in the face by the menu, "…"
Moriarty and Watson, who saw Shylock being smashed in the face by Issou with the menu, "… Pfft."
Moriarty said, "Be gentle, Shylock."
The master criminal, who also saw through Issou's abnormality but pretended not to know anything, saw the black-haired girl panicking because of Shylock. He comforted her, "Don't be nervous, Issou. You have to understand that he may not have seen many girls as beautiful and cute as you before, so it's inevitable that he's a little out of place."
Moriarty continued before Shylock could speak, "Go back to the kitchen, we'll take care of ourselves."
Issou did not refuse Moriarty's suggestion. She knew that doing so would definitely arouse Shylock's suspicion, but to stand in front of him and let him do whatever he wanted …
She did not have the courage to do so.
Besides, Issou did not think that she could fool the world, so instead of facing difficulties head-on, she should find a place to hide first.
What?
Issou is someone who broke through the Dimensional Wall, how can she be so cowardly?
…
…
…
Who's cowardly?
Issou indicated that she was retreating in the face of adversity!
After Issou turned around and returned to the kitchen, Moriarty glanced at Shylock and said, "You scared Issou, Shylock."
Hearing Moriarty's words, Shylock, who was holding the menu, sneered. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Watson say, "I'm not on your side this time, Shylock."
The kind and enthusiastic military doctor said to his friend in a disapproving tone, "Issou is not a criminal, your attitude is too ungentlemanly."
Shylock was speechless.
John, have you forgotten which side you are on?
"There's nothing wrong with my attitude." Shylock said, "It's not strange that she doesn't know our faces but knows our names. She might have heard of us from others but never seen us, or she might have heard of our names from somewhere but never seen us. What's strange is her reaction and attitude."
Speaking of this, his eyes seemed to sparkle. "Her reaction is as if she not only knows our identities, but also knows what we look like. But after seeing us with her own eyes, it doesn't match what she knows."
"Of course, there may be differences in transmission and personal imagination, but the problem is her attitude." Shylock looked at Watson and Moriarty. "She's afraid of me. She knows that I can see through her secrets, so she ran away."
"In fact, sometimes I'm quite afraid of you, Shylock." Watson said, "After all, not everyone wants their secrets to be exposed to the light of day."
"No." Shylock retorted, "Her secret is not like you usually hide Playboy magazine in..."
Before the consulting detective could finish, he was interrupted by a furious Watson. "Shut up, Shylock!"
Sherlock concluded, "All in all, this secret of hers must have something to do with some parts of her body that don't fit her."
Now Shylock finally understood why Moriarty was willing to stay in New York and even become a university professor at Empire State University.
Moriarty was speechless.
No.
He was not.
He said it was because Issou's cooking was too delicious.
However, looking at Shylock's reaction, Moriarty knew very well that no matter how he told the truth, he would not believe him. After all, there was something about Issou that did not fit her.
But...
When Pietro brought their first dish to the table, Moriarty looked at Shylock with a smile and asked, "Remember what I just told you? Shylock. "
Hearing Moriarty's words, Shylock moved his gaze away from the others and fell on him. Then he heard him say, "I hope when we sit at the same table later, Shylock, you don't forget your purpose."
Moriarty looked at Shylock and couldn't help but remember what happened when he first came to "my Chinese restaurant" —
He came to find out why Hulk suddenly became Dr. Banner, but after taking a bite of Issou's food, he completely forgot his original purpose and even decided to stay in New York.
This could be said to be one of the rare face-slapping experiences in his life, but considering the delicious food Issou made, not only did he accept it, but he didn't even plan to get back at him.
However, Moriarty did not plan to get back at Issou, but that didn't mean he wasn't happy to see Shylock make a fool of himself.
Because Moriarty had no intention of hiding his intentions at all, even Watson could see it, let alone Shylock, who could see through everything.
Shylock seemed to be very disapproving of this. Looking at the bright red spicy husband and wife lung slice on the table, he admitted that its appearance was indeed beautiful and tempting, but that was it. Did it have any irresistible magic?
Shylock glanced at the diners at the other tables and thought, well, even if there is, it's only for the goldfish.
In order to investigate a case, he did not hesitate to take drugs and pretend to be a real addict. Although part of the reason was that Shylock was too crazy, he had to admit that he thought his willpower could resist the temptation of drugs.
Therefore, the so-called delicacies that could affect his judgment and cause his brain to degenerate were simply the ravings of a fool.
At this moment, Shylock was so confident in himself until he picked up a piece of tripe and put it into his mouth.
The soft tripe that was crispy but not mushy had fully absorbed all the essence of the sauce in the dish. With a bite, there was a burst of spiciness that awakened every taste bud on his tongue. This burst of spiciness was not choking, but it was particularly stimulating.
After the spiciness passed, there was a burst of numbness. However, after chewing the tripe several times, in addition to the numbness, he could also taste the fragrance of stir-fried ginger, onion, garlic, and chopped pepper. There was also the crispy fragrance of crushed peanuts and sesame seeds between his teeth. Coupled with a mouthful of hot and sweet white rice, it was simply irresistible.
Shylock felt that his brain, which was originally spinning at a high speed, was gradually slowing down. Every nerve in his body relaxed. Such a comfortable state made him feel very uncomfortable.
After all, he had always liked to move and not be quiet. To him, ease and leisure were like poisons that could kill people.
However, no matter how firm Shylock's willpower was, that spicy and rich fragrance still gradually weaved a dense net that wrapped around his brain and reason. It was as if it would not stop until they surrendered.
Shylock tried hard to restrain himself, but when the second dish — Braised Hairtail Fish — was served, he still could not restrain himself and very honestly moved his chopsticks.
Compared to other fish, hairtail fish did not have any other fine bones except for the big bone in the center, so it could be eaten directly without worry.
After the fat and tender hairtail fish was braised, it was a beautiful red date color. Its bright red appearance attracted people's appetite. With a bite, it made people's eyes light up.
When the tender fish meat was savored in his mouth, Shylock could taste a unique fresh taste that was not the same as other fish. The salty and sweet taste stimulated people's appetite.
If the spicy and fragrant Spicy Husband and Wife Lung Slice just now was a rude and direct confrontation against his willpower, then the salty and sweet Braised Hairtail Fish now was a way to soften his reason and brain like a frog being boiled in warm water, causing them to be utterly defeated.
After drinking a mouthful of the warm and nourishing Winter Four Treasures Soup, even in the cold weather, Shylock still felt his whole body become warm and warm. Not to mention his reason and brain, every inch of his bones seemed to have been soaked and softened.
What?
You asked Shylock if he still remembered what he said to Watson with certainty? Did he still remember how he vowed that his brain would never be corrupted by mere delicacies?
…
…
…
When did he say that?
Although there was no recall function in the memory palace, Shylock expressed that he did not have any recollection of it at all.
Watson, "…"
Moriarty, "…"
Did his face hurt?
…
Even Shylock gave in, let alone Watson —
If Watson did not know where Moriarty's confidence came from when he saw Shylock looking like he was going to make a fool of himself, then after tasting Issou's food, he knew.
The Chinese food in "my Chinese restaurant" was more than just delicious!
It was super, super, super, super delicious!
With every bite, Watson was amazed by his culinary skills. God, how could there be someone in the world who could make such delicious food?
Even a simple vegetable dish — assorted vegetables and white jade mushrooms — became extremely delicious after being stir-fried by Issou.
If there was anything dissatisfactory about it, it would probably be that the amount was too little for the three men. In the blink of an eye, the dishes on the plate were cleared.
Fortunately, he was smart just now. When Sherlock and Moriarty were not paying attention, he poured the leftovers from Moriarty's plate into his own plate. After he finished the leftovers in his bowl, he could continue to savor the leftovers in his plate …
Just as Watson was feeling complacent, he turned his head and found that his assorted vegetables and white jade mushrooms were gone! No, it should be said that the dish had disappeared along with it!!!
Watson's expression changed. He subconsciously looked up and saw that his missing dish was "floating" in the air. Two different male hands were holding the edge of the dish, one on the left and one on the right, making the dish look like a small boat floating in a river. Even the assorted vegetables and white jade mushrooms on the plate were shaking.
Obviously, the two different male hands belonged to none other than Shylock and Moriarty, who were sitting on his left and right.
Shylock, who was sitting on the left, pulled the dish towards him and said, "Let go. First come, first served. Or do you, Moriarty, like to steal?"
Watson, "…???"
First come, first served?
Very well!
So Shylock, you're the one who stole my dish first, right?!
Moriarty, who was sitting on the right, pulled the dish towards him with a little force. He retorted, "Shylock, do you remember what I told you? Don't forget your purpose. You're not here to eat, so don't steal from me! Hurry up and do your business! "
Watson, "…???"
Don't steal from you?
Wait a minute!
Moriarty, did you forget that the dish on this plate originally belonged to me?!
"You don't have to remind me." Sherlock grabbed the plate tightly and gave Moriarty a fake smile. "In fact, I know what I should do under different circumstances. Since I'm in 'my Chinese restaurant,' there's only one thing I should do now, and that's to eat properly." Moriarty smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I know what I should do under different circumstances.
What?
You're asking if Shylock really remembers his purpose of coming to 'my Chinese restaurant'?
…
…
…
How could he not remember?
Isn't he just here to have a meal?!
Moriarty was also unwilling to be left behind. "This is really the funniest joke I've heard this year. Shylock Holmes actually knows what to do under certain circumstances? I think if Mr. Holmes heard this, he would be very pleased. "
Shylock retorted, "Believe me, if Mcauliffe knew that James Moriarty was willing to stay in New York for food, he would also be very pleased."
Moriarty took advantage of the situation. "If that's the case, then you should let go. After all, as your brother's good brother, shouldn't you pay a little price to make your brother feel a little better?"
"You think too much." Shylock said, "The Holmes brothers never get along with each other."
"Dear Shylock," Moriarty said word by word, "don't you think what you're doing now is too much of a slap in your face?"
"It's okay, because I believe that before me, you've already been slapped in the face," Shylock said to Moriarty. "One to one."
Moriarty was speechless.
For the first time, he hated Shylock for being so smart!
Seeing that Shylock and Moriarty were not giving in to each other, Watson's head swayed left and right as they pulled the plate. After a few times, Watson reached out and grabbed the plate, holding it in the middle.
The good-tempered military doctor looked at Shylock and Moriarty with a threatening look. He reminded them, "Have you forgotten one thing —"
"This! Is! My! Of! Plate! Plate!? "
Hearing Watson's words, Shylock and Moriarty looked at each other and obediently let go of the plate in front of the military doctor who instantly became 2.8 meters tall.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Watson's face, but the next second, his smile froze because —
Two pairs of chopsticks that did not belong to him appeared on the plate that belonged to him. They picked up the assorted vegetables and white jade mushrooms that belonged to him and put them into two separate mouths that did not belong to him!
Looking at the empty plate in his hand, Watson, "…!!!???"
What kind of operation is this?!
Watson complained righteously, "The plate is mine!"
Shylock, who was eating the fungus and chrysanthemum flower, "… Crunch crunch crunch …"
Watson continued to complain, "The food on the plate is also mine!"
Moriarty, who was eating the white jade mushrooms and colored peppers, "… Crunch crunch crunch …"
Watson, "…"
Wow!
Aren't they too arrogant?!
