Chapter 27 is a little bit of a simple analysis

Kreacher, the house-elf who 'had great discrimination against ordinary people (i.e., Muggles)', quickly followed Daniel's instructions and took Sherlock Holmes and Watson to the study on the third floor.

Then, it raised its finger and waved, and a number of innocuous common-sense books like "Wizard Early Childhood Education" on the bookshelf automatically flew out in a row, neatly stacked, and landed on the desk next to it.

Immediately afterward, it said loudly and politely, "Guests can read by themselves." "Then, with his head down, he muttered 'Nasty Muggles, Muggles polluting the air in Black's house......

Soon, it disappeared into thin air, as if a Muggle would poison it if it stayed for a minute longer.

Ignoring this 'unpleasantness', Dr. Watson, who had just realized that there was such a mysterious country on the British mainland, was shocked.

He repeated in disbelief with his mouth wide open, "Sherlock, this is amazing, this is amazing." ”

"You've repeated it many times, John." Sherlock said, looking around nonchalantly.

Strangely, he was not so urgent at this time.

"You didn't just look like that." Dr. Watson said dissatisfiedly, "You've just been like a hound, eager to burst into the house at once, and smell and study everything." ”

"Hey, isn't that what you expected?" Sherlock Holmes said with an eyebrow raised.

"What?" Watson couldn't believe the repetition, "What did we expect?" ”

"That's right." Sherlock tilted his chin sideways, and the angle of the side made his already three-dimensional features look even more handsome.

He said arrogantly and contemptuously, "That Blake's eyes are full of words like 'Sherlock is a big problem.'" Therefore, I think that I should be more in line with his expectations, so that he will feel a little more at ease. ”

"What kind of fallacy is this?"

"The little Mr. Black was very reluctant for me to come, but he agreed in the end...... Don't you think, that's a bit of a contradiction? It's worth exploring...... Probably besides this mysterious wizarding world, he has other secrets in his heart. ”

Sherlock crossed his chin with his fingers crossed, and his eyes were full of interest, "Mycroft must have seen it, but it's a pity that the fat man is inert, and he is too lazy to track down the truth, which makes him lose a lot of fun, but I'm different, I'm really curious and curious......"

"Wait, Sherlock, Mycroft isn't very fat...... Besides, I still don't quite understand. Watson said rightly, "Everyone has their own secrets, Sherlock, and you can't ask everyone to be honest with you. ”

"No, no, no, it's different, John." Sherlock waved his hand and said, "That Mr. Black knew me beforehand, knew what I did, knew I was a detective, and was a curious consulting detective. If he really doesn't want me to track down his little secret at all, before that, he can firmly refuse Mycroft's advice and not bring us to the wizarding world. However, he agreed, and after hesitating for a while, he agreed. What does this mean? ”

"I don't know, Sherlock, what you said I ...... A little dizzy. ”

"Two possibilities." Sherlock held up a finger, "First, he's hesitating, hesitating to reveal some secret; Second, he wanted to reveal the secret, but the time had not yet come. ”

"It's also possible that he couldn't refuse Mycroft at all." Dr. Watson also began to think seriously, "Seriously, Sherlock, your brother is really good, and it is not an easy thing to refuse him. ”

"Yes, yes, Mycroft...... Sherlock muttered a little unhappily, "and that's a reason, but as far as I've seen of Mr. Black's character, I'm sure I'm right to think I'm right." ”

Watson was still a little confused, but he had always admired and trusted Sherlock's magical detective skills, so he didn't ask any more questions to refute for a while.

He touched his forehead, trying to understand the other party's words, "You mean, Daniel will also have 'things' (cases) here that you need to intervene in, but for whatever reason, he is still in a state of hesitation and ambivalence?" ”

"That's a good summary." Sherlock nodded, "Let's break it down, John." ”

He continued, "The secrets behind them, the reasons or something, can be left for later. Now, if we just look at this house, what can you discern? ”

"I can't, Sherlock." Watson shook his head hurriedly.

Then, as if he had thought of something, a shy smile appeared on his round face: "Come on, I won't give you a chance to make fun of me." ”

"But I need you, John." Sherlock blinked his sparkling eyes, looked at the short soldier sincerely, and confessed, "My dear Watson, you can always bring me a different way of thinking. ”

"Hey...... All right. The doctor, who had no way to refuse his attack, suddenly smiled awkwardly, and he hesitated and said, "Then I'll try." ”

He first looked around, then recalled the scene he had seen before, learned Sherlock's 'deduction', and said slowly: "This is an old house, passed down from generation to generation. ”

"It's obvious." Sherlock agreed, "Go on." ”

"There are three rooms and a living room on the second floor, and here on the third floor is a room and a study, and we haven't been up to the fourth floor, but there are probably one or two rooms at the minimum, so this should be a big family, and the population is quite large."

"So-so, isn't it...... But the basic idea is right! ”

"Eliminate the problems of witchcraft and magic that we don't know much about. According to common sense, this should be a declining and conservative aristocratic family. Because many places are very exquisite, and there are some utensils, gold cups, silver snuff bottles or something...... I also saw the fireplace on the second floor, where there seemed to be a genealogical tapestry...... Well, other than that, the discussion about the glory of house-elves, I don't think the old traditions of this family are going to be very good. ”

"Very well, go on."

"There are a lot of books in the study......," John raised his head and carefully looked at the rows of tall bookshelves not far away, "I feel that some books are very precious, this family should have been very prosperous in the past, and it should have declined in recent years." ”

"Where do you see how many recent years it is?"

Watson slyly held up a newspaper clipping from the table next to him: "Look, the newspaper says it." Look, Sherlock, it's amazing that the people in it move. ”

Sherlock burst into laughter.

He took the old, tear-stained clipping, and wrote two full lines of headlines on the front page in large bold letters: Sirius, the last heir of the Black family, the vicious Death Eater, was sentenced to Azkaban prison.

The text at the bottom is a detailed record of Sirius's destruction of half a street in Muggle streets, and how he killed thirteen people.

In addition, there is a photo in which the wizards are walking back and forth in a panic, and a man in a black wizard's robe with blood on his face standing calmly and laughing in the ruins.

"Well done, John." Sherlock said approvingly, and then, looking at the clipping, smiled with confidence.
