Chapter 159

Driving an uber in a valuable van.Even if Sherlock didn't mention this kind of thing, Watson could detect a suspicious taste in it.When getting into the car, Watson took a special look at Sherlock's expression, but the latter's expression was natural, as if he was familiar with the matter in front of him.

All these years of experience taught Watson a truth.Don't remind Sherlock to pay attention to any unusual details, because this well-intentioned reminder will eventually provoke a burst of merciless complaints.

Isn't it?Will the famous Sherlock Holmes have overlooked details?

nonexistent!

If he didn't say it, it doesn't mean he didn't notice it, it's [-]% possible...he noticed it, but he just didn't want to say it or didn't bother to say it.

After getting into the car, Watson kept staring at the door lock.

Sherlock didn't speak, but it didn't mean Watson wouldn't pay more attention.After all, Watson is a poor veteran who is often betrayed by his partner and has to experience some jumping or diving operations from time to time.

Watson can be [-]% sure that there is something wrong with this online car-hailing car.Compared with jumping and falling, he didn't want to be locked in the car and dragged to an unknown place.

For this reason, when Steve pressed the control button of the car door lock out of respect for safety regulations, Watson couldn't help shivering at the slight sound of locking the door.

Steve, who has been on the battlefield all year round, has more sensitive perception than ordinary people, and of course, he is also more cautious than most people.Watson's subconscious trembling was clearly seen by him.

Steve looked at Watson with concern through the rearview mirror: "Are you okay?"

Watson didn't expect his subtle reaction to be noticed by the other party, and he couldn't help but become more nervous.But he glanced at Sherlock beside him, and found that the other party was still in the same relaxed and contented manner at the beginning, as if all the abnormalities that Watson had noticed did not exist.

"What's the matter? Is there anything we can do for you?" Steve asked politely.

Watson has been watching Sherlock's expression, he is a little uncertain how to answer the strong driver's question.Watson couldn't answer right away, but Sherlock hurriedly took over and said, "It's nothing. I'm just surprised that someone would drive such a good commercial vehicle for Uber. Are all American people like this?"

Upon hearing this, Joanna turned around and repeated what she had said to the previous guest with a smile.

Sherlock listened carefully, and finally gave Joanna a squinting smile.On the other hand, Watson was obviously very reserved, and even his smile was heavy.

Joanna didn't notice this at all, she turned around and sat down, happily guiding Steve.

Along the way, Sherlock pestered Joanna to ask a lot of questions about Los Angeles, some of which Joanna could answer, and some guesses mixed with a little nonsense.Sherlock showed great interest in Los Angeles, saying "Oh, that's it", while trying to get more information about Joanna herself.

Sherlock asked secretly and naturally, and Joanna didn't even realize that the other party was trying to trick her.But Steve, who seemed to be concentrating on driving, but was actually observing the passengers in the back seat, clearly noticed something was wrong.Several times when Joanna was talking about herself, Steve would interrupt Joanna and ask Joanna to confirm the route for him.

After Sherlock's "offensive" has been so disturbed by Steve on several occasions, he has to start talking to Steve so as not to seem too deliberate.But Steve was not enthusiastic about Sherlock's question, but tried to talk to Watson from time to time.

In this way, Sherlock tried all the way to talk but failed, and Steve tried all the way to talk but failed.As for the other two people in the car, one foolishly regarded Sherlock as a tourist who came here for fame, and the other nervously regarded Steve as a suspicious person like a kidnapper.The four of them maintained this strange state until they arrived in front of the hotel where Sherlock was going to stay.

Before Joanna could speak, Steve quickly unfastened his seat belt after the car stopped, got out of the car and opened the door for Sherlock and Watson.

"Thank you, Mr. Driver." Sherlock smiled harmlessly, and then waved his hand at Joanna, "Goodbye, lovely Miss Navigator."

Joanna smiled and said goodbye to the British tourists.

Watson dared not speak.Everything today is too weird, including that completely changed Sherlock.Watson wasn't sure what the situation was now, and he didn't dare to speak casually, so he could only nod indiscriminately as a response.

Steve didn't say much, after the two got out of the car, he closed the door and returned to his cab.He calmly asked Joanna to "sit down", then stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the hotel.

Sherlock smiled and watched the vehicle go away.After the vehicle turned the corner of the street, the smile that had been on the corner of his mouth disappeared all of a sudden.

"So, those two people really have a problem?" Watson asked cautiously.

"Oh, there are more than just problems, it's really interesting." Sherlock said excitedly, his eyes sparkling.

Watson sighed resignedly: "Sherlock, please. We came to Los Angeles for serious business. No matter how interested you are in the couple just now, please finish the business first, okay?"

Sherlock gave Watson a disgusted look: "Haven't you realized? The two of them are business."

Watson:? ? ? ? ?

Steve, who hadn't realized that he had been exposed, sincerely lamented that nothing had happened during this short period of time.He just reflexively felt that something was wrong with the British man in the car.Just as no one drives an Uber like they do in their expensive commercial vehicle, Steve doesn't think anyone will strike up a conversation with an Uber driver they don't know on the road.Especially...a Brit who just got off the plane.Although not very familiar with it, Steve had a good understanding of the way the British treated the British during World War II.Taking the British man in his impression as a reference object, the British man just now was suspicious enough.

But he didn't intend to tell Joanna about this.The recent situation is not good for Joanna. According to Joanna's timid and overthinking personality in the past, if he opens his mouth, Joanna will definitely think wildly.Steve didn't think it was necessary. After all, he was in Los Angeles now. No matter what happened, he was confident that he could protect Joanna.As long as the safety of Joanna and the others can be guaranteed, he doesn't feel the need to increase the tension of Joanna and the others.

Thinking of this, Steve remained silent the whole way.He hadn't noticed it himself, but when he had something on his mind, he didn't like to talk much.In this regard, he and people like Tony and Lucifer are completely two extremes.In a normal social situation, people like Tony and Lucifer who use chatter to cover their minds are not easy to detect for a while.But Steve's sudden silence... is really screaming to the world, "Ask me! Ask me what's wrong! I have something on my mind! I'm not happy!"

Joanna pretended for a while, but finally couldn't hold back.She put down her phone and asked helplessly, "What's wrong?"

"what?"

Joanna leaned on the back of the chair and turned her head to look at Steve's serious driving profile: "You have been acting very unhappy since we sent the British couple away."

Steve reflexively denies, "Nothing."

Joanna still kept staring at Steve: "Is it boring for you to say that? We are not a couple on a first date today. Are you trying to say that I don't know you well enough?"

Steve's eyes wandered for a while, but just happened to meet a corner. Steve's wandering eyes seemed to be observing the traffic situation at the corner, and it didn't look like he was avoiding the problem at all.But he did want to avoid it, Joanna's question...was kinda scary.

Because he is an "old antique" from the last century, Steve has always been cautious about what young girls like and don't like.He even checked a lot of information on the Internet so that he could be sure that he could tell if Joanna was talking irony.

Thanks to his hard work, Steve was pretty sure Joanna was angry when Joanna asked, "Are you trying to say I don't know you well enough?"

"I didn't mean that." Steve softened his tone and defended himself, "It's just that I don't think I'm unhappy."

Joanna looked ahead and didn't speak.

"I never said that you don't know me well enough. I can't find a girl who knows my past like you, and you know that."

Joanna remained silent.

"You're going to be mad at me for this?" Steve said in an unbelievably soft tone.Originally a questioning question, Steve asked it out of a coquettish taste.It was a kind of Steve's unique tone, seven points of integrity and seriousness, three points of gentle pampering.

Joanna finally had a reaction. She picked up the phone and typed something, then held it up to Steve.

While driving, Steve was distracted by what Joanna was typing.

— Drive your car, and ignore me right now.

After reading this sentence, Steve immediately parked the car to the side of the road: "Joanna...I didn't want to be with you..."

Joanna raised her hand to stop Steve's words, and she continued to type a line quickly with her head down.

——I'm still a little angry right now, but I didn't mean to be angry, or to use cold violence against you.I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, it would trigger the tongue of lies.

Joanna hands Steve the phone awkwardly.To be honest, she was indeed a little angry at the moment, but it was all very subtle mood swings.She was sure that if she could talk to Steve normally right now, it might take less than a minute for Steve to make her forget about the almost negligible unhappiness.Unfortunately, she can't.

For this, Joanna felt even more depressed.

Steve took Joanna's hand. "It's okay, I'm always here. As long as you need."
