40. The Goldfish of London 39
Sherlock squirmed twice under the bright eyes of his girlfriend, and finally stopped looking at her at all, and spat out a long list of Sherlock-esque answers: "The thing of sending a plant's bio-organizer-organ to express his mood seems to me to convey some unreasonableness, hypocrisy, and impulsiveness in this sick, morally deficient world." Today we revere the moths that will end this society, and it will certainly end the whole society in the future. β
Erin: "...... Again, what do you think is the right response for me? "When Sherlock said that Comrade Xiao Ai was a special goldfish, she asked him so.
Sherlock also gave an answer, but this time instead of 'kissing me', it was, "Beat me?" β
Erin couldn't help but laugh: "Oh my God, Sherlock, how can you be so cute. β
Sherlock didn't expect his girlfriend's reaction to do this, he looked at him in amazement, and then realized that his girlfriend was serious, because she couldn't help but come over and bow her head to kiss him. Well, this time Sherlock didn't say anything about kissing as a moth in society, because he didn't dodge it, and raised his head very cooperatively.
However, after ending the kiss in this difficult position, he muttered: "Your logic... It's special. β
Erin, who was still a little red, muttered, "Okay? β
"Think for yourself!" The consulting detective, who thought he had said something in love, didn't get the effect he wanted, and was a little annoyed and refused to say anything more, he rolled himself up and threw it on the couch, and continued to dwell on the 'unexpected joy' of the case. And, after hearing Erin's laughter, she turned herself ninety degrees indignantly and turned her face inward.
Not only that, but his 'ruthless' girlfriend didn't come to please him and praise him, and after laughing, he dropped the sentence "I went upstairs" and really went upstairs.
Sherlock: "...... Bored. β
In fact, less than three minutes after Erin went upstairs, she came downstairs again, bringing down her laptop with her. She placed her laptop on her desk and linked her phone, which had also been modified with non-scientific skills, to which she sent out to keep up with Mr. Rose's paper birdsβthis time she had taken care not to use the yellow finch paper birds, but instead chose the birds that were most common in London at this timeβand the footage was synchronized on the computer.
It now appears that Mr. Rose has returned to his apartment and is 'giving back' to his hired person on the computer:
Mr. Rose was particularly angry and was typing: "The information you gave is incomplete!" Why didn't you sue me, the target you asked me to seduce was a freak! β
The conversation quickly replied: "M_: But don't you claim that you can make them swoon with you, no matter what type of target? But your table today makes me a little disappointed~"
Mr. Rose's face was extremely ugly: "But why did she see through me at a glance?" Didn't you sue her? You're deliberately trying to trick me? I've seduced the women in your circle before, so you're joining forces to fix mine? β
The hired party is also very fast, and the letters typed out are all capitalized: "M_: Your imagination is so interesting, I like it, but my answer is no." β
Mr. Rose obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't want to get angry at his employer: "Really? β
"M_: Look at your account balance, you will know my sincerity, sexy handsome guy (sexy)~" Almost after he finished typing, Mr. Rose's mobile phone came with a new text message, the text message reminded Mr. Rose's bank of a new income, seeing the sincerity of the employer, Mr. Rose was immediately happy: "Okay, but I don't think you need to hire me to seduce her, how can your boyfriend like that kind of crazy woman!" β
"M_: I don't like your imagination anymore, and don't you know that what's trending right now is 'high IQ is the new sexy'? You little idiot. "This employer's feelings are really changing fast.
Mr. Rose was dumbfounded: "Whatthehell! β
"M_: Bye-bye, little idiot~" After the other party replied, there was no new message, Mr. Rose angrily wanted to express something, but he couldn't find the message board, this is really a sad story.
While Erin was thoughtful, Sherlock's deep voice sounded coldly from behind her, "What do you think?" β
Erin blurted out, "I'm now sure it's not Mycroft." β
Sherlock retorted to his girlfriend: "Why not? McCroft has always liked drama, and doubt it no longer that he's just a fat man who is boring. β
Erin came back to her senses, she looked up at Sherlock, who had appeared behind her quietly when she had started to look at the images from the paper birds, and asked, "Are you seriously discussing it with me?" Instead ofβ"
Sherlock's face suddenly turned unpleasant: "And not what?" β
"Habitually speaking ill of your brother?" Comrade Xiao Ai silently changed her words under the angry gaze of her boyfriend, "It's a little personal emotion-color truth, don't you rest assured that I won't stand on McCroft's side, we are now 'class enemies'." β
"Humph!"
Erin pulled a chair for her unhappy boyfriend, and he reluctantly sat down, and Erin asked him, "What about you?" How do you feel about Mr. M? β
"Mr. M? Obviously, it's him. Sherlock habitually folded his hands on his chin, and before he began his tirade, he glanced at Irene, who was not angry with the description of Mr. Rose in the video, and paused, "Let's not talk about this Mr. M, let's talk about Mr. Dennis White first, apparently this is the name he used to open his bank account, I noticed it when he read the bank notification text message." I think that's his real name in terms of his IQ that pulls down the average goldfish street. β
"Isn't it because he saw that notification text messageβ"
Sherlock cut off Comrade Xiao Ai's words and glared at her by the way: "You'd better not talk now!" β
At first, Erin wondered how she had provoked her boyfriend, but she soon deduced that Sherlock was helping her get angry. Because that Mr. White called her a freak in the message? The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Sherlock refused to be told the truth: "Shutit! β
"What about kissing you?"
"Nope." Sherlock ruthlessly refused, but now he no longer glared at his girlfriend, and said dryly, "I'm not in the mood to say that this inferior goldfish who can see through it at a glance is all your fault." Now, back to that funny Mr. M, you're still giggling, don't you even realize you're being watched? Where did you meet that inferior goldfish? β
- In fact, people are not inferior goldfish, not to mention IQ, that is, EQ is definitely a street for ordinary people, otherwise they can't maneuver between multiple lovers, and they are like fish in water.
Erin thought carefully about the time difference, and suddenly became serious, and told Sherlock the detailed location at that time. Sherlock, who is familiar with every street in London, the road conditions, the traffic lights, and the buildings on the streets, immediately called it up in his mind, "Four public monitors, two of which can adjust the angle to clearly photograph you, and in addition to this, there are multiple monitoring points, a very chicken clue." But he updated your information, and we are also aware of his deposits, thanks to your unnatural methods. β
Before Erin could speak, Sherlock waved his hand, "Oh, that's good. After he finished speaking, he continued to put his hands against his jaw, and the brain, which had never stopped running, was now running at a high speed, "A very intelligent and extraordinary ability - this can be seen from the fact that he can retrieve your information, and can also investigate the true information of that inferior goldfish, and arrange for someone to monitor - the tempter, why he is testing you, and what are you going to do?" β
"He obviously knows you, Sherlock." Erin shifted her gaze to the computer screen, she didn't call her paper bird back, "Literally, he's your admirer?" Or did he give Mr. White that feeling? So I became a rival in his definition, so he hired a professional to seduce me, in the words of their conversation, in order to ruin my relationship with you? β
"It's a possibility," Sherlock pouted, "literally, indeed. β
"I don't think the phrase 'high IQ is the new sexy' should refer to me, because my current logical thinking ability is taught by you, so it's more likely to refer to you, Sherlock." Erin pointed this out earnestly, and after saying that, she looked at Sherlock squarely, nodded to echo, or reinforce the sentence, "When you use your brain to think, your eyes are full of starlight, and the whole person seems to be glowing, which is beautiful. β
Sherlock: "...... How am I going to take what you say? β
Erin's eyes drifted, and she returned to the computer screen again, answering Sherlock's question by the way, "Thank you?" β
Sherlock was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "You know that everyone thinks with their brains, right? β
Comrade Xiao Ai was annoyed and angry: "Sherlock! If you say that, then you'd be glad I didn't say you were thinking with your heart! She turned around and pressed on the keyboard, and said casually, "I've found out where Mr. White works, maybe we can talk to him again, etc., and see if we can get more information about this admirer of yours?" β
"He's not my admirer," Sherlock rejects his girlfriend's definition of Mr. M. again
"In addition, I want to remind you that if you don't want your phone and computer to be polluted by naked-naked**, I recommend that you let your paper birds take a break."
Erin was confused by Sherlock's description, but before she turned to the screen, Sherlock explained to her: "Mr. White is ready to go and provide his professional services to his present benefactor, a wealthy widow." β
"Huh? Oh uh, I see. Erin temporarily cut off the link between her phone and computer after reacting to what Sherlock was talking about, "Hmm, so what do we do now?" β
"Like we said, this is just a temptation, then he must have a second move, and we will wait for him to surface again." Sherlock gritted his teeth again, "I hate this kind of case where both sides are puzzles, and neither side is a puzzle!" β
Erin always felt that she had missed something, but she couldn't remember it all of a sudden, she frowned and let go, what was she missing?
They thought that Mr. M would have another move, but a week has passed, and nothing unusual has happened, things seem to have fallen into a state of anxiety, of course, it may be that the other party is cautious, anyway, there is no progress.
The bad thing is not only this, there is no progress on the more senior gentleman they speculated in the Albert Hawke case, and all the evidence points to one point: that is, this higher gentleman does not exist, and Andy Sharp used such a technical means to murder Albert Hawke, probably really a blind cat and a dead mouse.
Besides, Scotland Yard has been busy turning over old cases this weekβthe old ones that Sherlock and Irene have solvedβand even if there are any new cases, they are not the type that Sherlock will be interested in, and Lestrade is too busy to add any more burden to himself, so he doesn't come to him with new cases that Sherlock will not be interested in.
As a result, Sherlock was bored and irritated and almost lifted the 221B.
It was really the first time I'd seen Sherlock in this state, he was now like a large manic dog, scratching his sharp paws on the floor, on the walls, in the kitchen, etc., and on the walls he had made a smile with a hand-gun trick, and I have to say that he still remembered not ravaging the ceiling between the second and third floors?
Mrs. Hudson, who came upstairs to see her, covered her heart, and pushed Sherlock to calm down with a push, "I don't care if you take him for a walk, or a date, or some crime scene where there is a dead man, in short, okay, let him let us go, let me go of my house." After saying that, the landlady didn't care whether Erin said yes or not, turned around and walked out, and said with a headache as she went, "It's on your rent, Sherlock!" β
Erin thought for a moment and asked Sherlock, who was standing on the couch, "I'm going to Chinatown, do you want to go with me?" β
"Boring! Bored! β
When Erin went upstairs to change her clothes and came downstairs, she put on the dark blue coat hanging on the hook, and asked her boyfriend again: "Really not coming?" β
Sherlock directly put the blanket on his face, and the meaning of refusal was obvious.
"Alright then, I'll put up two soundproof notes on the second floor, hoping that when I get back, 221B will still be alive." Erin was a little sorry that Sherlock didn't go out with her, but she still thought of a compromise, and quietly found a reinforcement charm, just in case.
As everyone knows, as soon as Comrade Xiao Ai came downstairs, Sherlock, who was lying on the sofa, pulled out the blanket, and the pajamas that he was still wrapped in were taken off, not to mention, he also changed into his shirt. After counting Irene's footsteps, he jumped down from the couch, brushed over the blazer he had dropped, and put it on as he wore it, walked to the window, and watched through a slit in the curtain as his girlfriend reached out for a taxi. After confirming that the taxi was activated, he quickly picked up his coat and scarf hanging from the coat hook, and followed him downstairs, just in time to meet Mrs. Hudson, who was going to the store, but before the landlady could ask anything, her tenant opened the door, closed the door, and left in one go.
Mrs. Hudson looked upstairs, and now that the building was completely quiet, she muttered, "Sure enough, young man, I just can listen to my girlfriend, is this a date?" β
Dating, probably, I don't know if you mind multiple people?
