The original text is in "The Final Case":

I am sitting indoors thinking about this matter. The door suddenly opened and Professor Moriarty stood before me.

"My nerves are quite strong, Watson, but I must admit that I was startled when I saw the man who had so haunted me standing on the threshold. I I am very familiar with his appearance. He is very tall, thin, with a bulging forehead, sunken eyes, clean shaven face, pale face, a bit like an ascetic, and he maintains a certain professorial demeanor. Too much, a little stooped, his face stretched forward and swaying slightly from side to side, looking weird and humble. He squinted his eyes and looked at me very curiously.

"'Yours." The forehead is not as developed as I thought, sir,' he said at last, 'and fiddling with a loaded pistol in your pajama pocket is a dangerous habit. '

"In fact, when he came in, I immediately realized the huge personal danger I faced. Because for him, the only way out of the predicament was to kill me and silence me. So I hurriedly I grabbed the pistol from the drawer and stuffed it into my pocket, and pointed it at him through my clothes. As soon as he mentioned this, I took out the pistol, opened the gun, and put it on the table. He was still smiling. , eyes narrowed, but there was something in his eyes that made me secretly glad I had this pistol.

"'You obviously don't understand me," he said.

"'On the contrary,' I replied, 'I think I know you very well. Please sit down. If you have anything to say, I can give you five minutes.'

"'Everything I have to say, you already know. ’ he said.

"'Then you already know my answer,' I replied.

"'Aren't you willing to give in? '

"'Never give in.'

" He thrust his hand into his pocket, and I picked up the pistol on the table. But all he did was pull out a memo with some dates scrawled on it.

"'You hindered me on January 4th,' he said, 'on the 23rd you hindered me again; in mid-February you caused me a lot of trouble; at the end of March You completely ruined my plans. At the end of April, I realized that I was in danger of losing my freedom because of your continued persecution. '

"'What have you got? Planning to? 'I asked.

"'You must stop, Mr. Holmes!' he said, shaking his head from side to side. 'You know, you really must stop.'

"'Not until Monday. 'I said.

"'Tsk, tsk!' he said, 'I'm sure a smart guy like you will understand that there's only one way this can end. And that is that you have to stop. You've done a great job. , this is the only way left to us. It is an intellectual pleasure to me to see you turn the matter into this state, and I tell you sincerely that if I were forced to take any extreme measures. , that is distressing. Laugh at it, sir, but I assure you, it is distressing.'

"'There are dangers in our line of work,' I said. .

"'This is not danger,' he said, 'but inevitable destruction. What you have thwarted is not just one man, but a powerful organization. In spite of your intelligence, you cannot Perhaps you realize the strength of this organization. You must step aside, Mr. Holmes, or you will be trampled to death. 'I'm afraid,' I said, standing up, 'because of what we're talking about. If I work too hard, I'll delay important things waiting for me to do elsewhere. '

" He also stood up, looked at me silently, and shook his head sadly.

"'Well, well,' he said at last, 'it seems a pity, but I've tried my best. I know every step of your trick. There's nothing you can do about it before Monday. It is a duel to the death, Mr. Holmes. You want to put me in the dock, and I tell you, I will never stand in the dock. You want to defeat me, and I tell you, you will never defeat me. If your cleverness leads to my destruction, don't worry, you will die with me.'

"'You're too kind, Mr. Moriarty,' I said.' Let me thank you and tell you, if I can guarantee your destruction, then, for the benefit of society, I will be willing to die with you. '

"'I promise to die with you, but you will not destroy me.' He roared like thunder, turned and walked out of the house.
