YUNYUE VS FENGHUANG (XXXV)

LUO YAN shared his suspicions in the team channel, ensuring everyone was updated. He also instructed Su Yuqi to relay the details of his and Shen Ji Yun's conversation with Mrs. Thompson to Sherlock Holmes. Moments later, her response came through the channel. She described how the detective's sharp eyes had flickered with a brief but unmistakable glint of interest, as though a crucial piece of the puzzle had finally clicked into place. Yet, true to his enigmatic nature, Holmes had offered nothing more than a calm and measured 'I see'.

With just that, it was clear there had been something significant in their conversation with Mrs. Thompson. Earlier in the day, Luo Yan, Shen Ji Yun, and Luo Jin had brainstormed, piecing together the fragments of information they'd gathered. Luo Yan had been certain Mrs. Thompson's words held another meaning. What she told them felt too personal, as though she carried a secret too heavy to voice.
