《Watson&Holmes》Case2 Two diamonds - ch17

"Next one, should I ask about your missing. Or the story of this man first."
"Your story first," Watson replied immediately. "Why are you injured?"
"Hmmm, there is a little bit happens. The secret that I am, Sherlock Holmes, is revealed," Sherlock said, recalling the woman who revealed his true identity. "When I was kicked out, I couldn't see you. When I tried to get back into the party to find your traces, I was beaten by the bodyguards."
Sherlock Holmes tells the story of what happened, but when he sees his partner's flat, emotionless face. He patted Watson's shoulder.
"I was beaten not because of you. You don't have to worry about it."
"What does this a little bit mean?" Watson asked, looking at his partner's hand, who patted him on his shoulder, thinking that Holm was still able to read his mind.
"After parting with you, I met a woman with long black hair, black eyes, as the True Watcher said. She suddenly walked out of the bidder seat, about to begin bidding for the red diamond necklace. I thought she was a member of the hunting diamonds organization, so I went and talked. But still not getting anything, she was close to pulling the mask I wear. When she announced to everyone that I was Sherlock Holmes, I was fired by the guards."
"Take off the mask," Watson replied, "I think back then, in a place like that, you should always be cautious. Don't let strangers get close easily. It means that that woman must be skilled enough. Do you know what her name is?"
‘...Use your skills ... make me 'Irene Adler' say it....’
Sherlock Holmes recalled Irene's final words. She challenged him ... and then made him in a difficult position.

"Irene Adler," replied Holmes with a thin smile on the corner of his mouth. That lady is really cunning."
"Irene ..." Watson repeated. He remembered the name and had heard it recently.
"Hmm. You rarely talk about a woman like this, Sherlock," said Mycroft. "You used to say women are full of emotion. Anything that has an emotional involvement in it will always transcend the logic of the truth. So, you don't want to mess with because you can't think of logic to make inferences."
"She must be ... the first one," said Sherlock, with expressive eyes.
"Holmes, I know Irene," Watson said calmly. "She was a member of the kidnapping gang that captured me."
"What? Tell me, Watson," said Sherlock urgently.
Watson began telling his story when meeting a group of long-haired men who used electric nets to catch him. But when high voltage does not affect Watson, the group then spoke Sherlock Holmes's name, threatening him. Watson was taken to a lone stone mansion on the edge of a cliff.
"There, besides me, this man is trapped."
Because Watson can speak Persian, the man called the boss had him do the job of interpreters. It was then that the woman whom the boss called Irene appeared.
"She's a long black-haired woman with black eyes, taller than Mrs. Hudson, but a little smaller than you. She is wearing a red dress. The man who was the boss ordered her to torture this man."
Sherlock Holmes listened to Watson and thought there were conflict reports. According to James Moriarty, an organization that collects diamonds, all members are women and hunt only diamonds. But the kidnap gang that captured Watson, the boss, and many of his followers, were males. From his assumptions, Irene is a member of the collect’s diamonds organization. Then why did Irene be with this organization?

And in addition ...
"The electric net ... no matter where the information came from, but The True Watcher would have sold your information to this gang."
Holmes sighed. He was a little silent to rethink everything. As a result, he now has two cases in his hand: a letter sent by Mycroft about missing people. And heirs of the Armstrong family ... Wainwright Armstrong disappears. Combined with the other two underground organizations, the one that hunts diamonds. And the kidnapping gang that captured Watson.
Finally ... Sherlock Holmes turned to a foreign man.
"What's his name?"
"Behrouz Zakaria." Watson replied.
“As I thought / I knew it.”
Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes said at the same time. The pair of black eyes stared at the foreign man whose face was now swollen, barely to see the regular face. Watson saw the actions of the two brothers Holmes and their words and was slightly confused. The person who had the same reaction that had just completed exam 100 was Mycroft. While Sherlock was more amused.
"Hahaha, do you think too? But who would have thought that the person who was looking for would walk into us by himself ... really interesting." Sherlock Holmes held his stomach as he laughed. Because every time he laughs, it will shake all the hurting wounds.
"You two ... are looking for this person?" Asked Watson.
