4. London's Goldfish 04

Sherlock unfastened the cufflinks, pulled up the sleeves in front of Erin, and ...... One tore off the three nicotine patches that were attached to it. Sherlock felt that he didn't need this thing to stimulate himself now, he was very excited now!

As a bored Death Star, even the "Modern Version of Jack the Ripper" case, which caused a sensation throughout London and caused panic among the people of London, did not make him feel that the boredom that was piled up to the point of drowning him was dispersed, but now Sherlock began to thank this case from the bottom of his heart, it was worth eight points, but it brought people who were not boring.

What the reaction of the goldfish is to this magical thing is not in Sherlock's consideration, but the information parsed by his high-speed brain is telling him something that science can't explain yet, but so what, it makes Sherlock himself feel not bored, and that's enough!

Sherlock really felt comfortable physically and mentally, and he couldn't help but moan, looking like a high-spirited addict, and like a high ♀ tide, which was not an exaggeration at all.

Angelo, who was quietly looking at the situation from behind the counter, almost threw herself to the counter when she saw this scene.

――WTF!

Erin said in a very subtle tone, "I thought—but I don't think I'm mistaken, you're a real human." ”

Erin's words were shocking, causing Sherlock, who understood the meaning of her words, to furrow fiercely, "Why don't you continue to quibble?" Like you just said what kind of magician are you or something? In this way, I will be able to get more and more truth from the words that you try to cover up, the more more information you miss. ”

Erin chuckled: "But isn't this the same as me taking the initiative to tell you the truth?" ”

Sherlock put his hands in front of his mouth in a tower shape and leaned forward across the table to lean his upper body towards Erin, "No, it's not. There are other reasons why you suddenly changed your mind and lost the intention to cover it up, except because you felt that you would not hide it in front of me. You're saying something more surprising now, and you're not worried, either you're mentally ill from a mental hospital, or you're capable of keeping me from saying it, and I'm more inclined to be the latter. ”

"You're right mostly, but the main reason you didn't mention."

Sherlock: "? ”

"I'm hungry."

Sherlock: "......"

Erin was a little embarrassed: "It's true, I can't stand the hunger, and it's past dinner now." Seeing that Sherlock still didn't speak, she added, "You're right about everything else, you're still very good." ”

Sherlock: "......" is too foreign and incomprehensible to a masochistic counselor who goes on a masochistic diet – which can go without food for hours – just to make room for blood to the brain.

In normal times, Sherlock would not hesitate to roll his eyes and scold a goldfish, but this time Sherlock's heartbeat began to accelerate.

Don't think too much, I think that the only consulting detective in the world is a girl, love at first sight, goodbye, so my heart beats faster, this situation has not been born yet, maybe Sherlock will not meet it for the rest of his life. Rather, the sentence "You are really a real human being" said by Erin, in the eyes of the goldfish, in the context just now, is more like Sherlock's strange irony that sees through a qiē. But Sherlock was sure it wasn't, and come on, he could still tell that Erin's compliments on him were genuine, okay?

So, this is a very common conclusion.

But where did this phrase come about?

Sherlock's tumultuous brain never stopped working for a moment, and from the moment Irene appeared in his sight to the moment he left his sight, all the details of this time, including the temperature at the time, the various smells that lingered around him, and even the angle at which the fourth corpse was placed, were simulated in his memory palace.

As for the detail that Anderson had a big cross on his face, don't care.

At the time of the initial crime scene, Erin was nothing more than a special goldfish in Sherlock's eyes: barely able to keep up with his mind, and her little head was not so empty. As for the fact that he could activate his mind when he spoke to her, it only flashed through Sherlock's mind and quickly disappeared.

――Mr. Detective, who can use his brain as a hard disk to update and delete stored knowledge, is very good if he didn't immediately delete Irene's special goldfish. For the rest, we really couldn't ask for more.

Fortunately, "God has the virtue of a good life", before it was about to become a parallel line, the star who didn't get along with Scotland Yard rarely called Inspector Lestrade and learned about the suspect being caught, and it was Erin who played an important role in it: she saw the suspect.

That's impossible!

In Sherlock's mind, there was no possibility that the suspect might have been witnessed. In addition, there are too many doubts about Erin seeing the suspect, and there is only Scotland Yard, which has lowered the IQ of London, and she does not realize that there is a problem.

There were a lot of speculations in Sherlock's mind, but Sherlock didn't expect him to meet the most incredible one.

The consulting detective's brain is running at high speed, Erin is waiting for the meal she ordered to be served, and the two people who are sitting at the same table and suspected of dating are just "different dreams at the same table", but in the eyes of the viewer, there is no other meaning-

"Hey, Sherlock, don't be so hot, it's going to scare other girls, especially Asians, I've heard they're more conservative." Angelo thought to herself, and quietly glanced at it again, the situation changed, Angelo's eyes widened, "Yes, yes, yes, if you get closer, you will kiss!" For God's sake, Sherlock, you're a purple, and the girls have taken the initiative to kiss you, what are you hiding! I really feel sorry for Sherlock's emotional intelligence. ”

This is really Mr. Detective, not in a hurry to kill the restaurant owner!

What are the facts?

With the awe of the unknown and the spirit of breaking the casserole to ask the truth, Sherlock took a straightforward approach and asked Erin: "Since you have the ability to confirm that I won't say it, then you might as well be kind enough to tell me, how did you confirm the suspect?" ”

Sherlock didn't ask the remaining question, but soon he didn't have the heart to ask any more.

Erin didn't hide it, she propped herself on the table and said to Sherlock with a smile: "I have to thank you for that, I didn't expect that in London, the police at Scotland Yard would allow outsiders like you to help solve the case." I had planned to draw a sketch of the suspect and send it to the police station. Still, do you really want to know how I did it? ”

"Of course!"

"Don't be nervous, if you're scared, I'll make you tea."

Where Sherlock was nervous, he was completely excited.

Erin leaned over and nodded at Sherlock's eyes, and Sherlock felt only a weight in his eyelids, and when he opened them again, he was stunned by what he saw. Mr. Rao, who turned the world upside down in London, couldn't help but lean back in his chair!

- This is the true restoration of the version seen in Angelo.

"Don't look them in the eye." Erin reminded Sherlock, but it seemed too late. After an initial discomfort and a rapid regrouping, Sherlock's eyes brightened again, and he began to observe the ghosts in the dining room with great interest—if it was Irene, she called them ghosts, but the Chinese and Western names were different—and quickly deduced what had happened to them before they died, and how they had died.

And then...... I was surrounded by three ghosts in the restaurant.

[Mr. Curly, can you see us?] ]

[Young man, do you need me to teach you a few tricks to pursue girls?] ]

[I'm so miserable, I'm so miserable, I'm so miserable.] ]

Sherlock: "......"

And at this time, Angelo came to eat, and the boss's round body happened to pass through two of the ghosts, looming very "ornamental".

Sherlock: "......"

Sherlock turned his gaze out the window, it was late by this time, but it was normal for the streets outside to be filled with cars and pedestrians. Now the consulting detective can see species that he doesn't normally see, but he doesn't particularly get used to it, and his pupils shrink after a car hits a pedestrian. And then...... Speeding vehicles pass over pedestrians, who are intact after being deformed.

Sherlock: "......"

Erin looked like she couldn't see the three ghosts, but in fact she wasn't, she stared at the fragrant food, so she didn't allow to be disturbed, she tilted her head slightly, and narrowed her eyes: "Please let us be alone, okay?" ”

As if frightened, the ghosts quickly pushed me and I squeezed you to the farthest point in the dining room.

The rest of Sherlock was out of sight, and the sight before him was back to normal, his Adam's apple slid unconsciously, turned his gaze to Erin, and stated, "I can't see it." ”

Erin casually explained, "You can only see for a minute. ”

Sherlock asked, "Can you see it all the time?" After receiving Erin's affirmative answer, he fell silent, he needed a moment to digest the fact, and he knew full well that Erin would not answer any more questions until he had finished eating.

During this period, three text messages came in one after another on Sherlock's mobile phone, but Sherlock, who was lost in thought, did not pay attention, and Erin, who was finally full and no longer hungry, pulled him back to reality from the world of thought: "Mr. Holmes? ”

“Sherlock,Please.”

"Erin is fine." Erin felt that she should be reciprocated, so she said her English name again. Then she clapped her hands and made a crisp sound: "Can we start?" ”

Sherlock sat upright, knowing exactly what Erin was trying to do.

Erin put her hand on the dining table, not too strict, still relaxed and freehand, as if she was talking normally, "All the people involved, including you and the person who provided you with the video, will not be able to reveal the content of our conversation today." So—"

Erin opened her mouth and spat out "Qicheng", this time in Chinese, and with her words, a little light like stars emanated through the restaurant.

Sherlock didn't see the sparkle of light, but he felt something. He pursed the corners of his lips and glanced deeply at Erin......

The first time we met, we made a contract, and this progress is still very gratifying, isn't it?
