In London at the beginning of June, it has been rainy for a week.

The bad weather made many people's mood gloomy, but when he got off work today, Mr. Hendry, who worked in the city hall, was in a very happy mood, and when he packed up his things, in addition to a smile on his face, there was a very obvious sense of anxiety, and the movements of his hands were also extraordinarily neat, as if he was in a hurry to leave.

"Young man, is there anything good about today?"

Seeing Hendry's happy look, Mr. Movs, a colleague in a room, asked nonchalantly: "It can't be another date in the evening, right?" ”

For this young man in the same room, Mr. Movs was originally quite fond of him when he first arrived, after all, a studious and modest young man could easily win the favor of others. But as the contact grew, Movs stumbled upon a very flirtatious habit of Hendry - the guy was tall and handsome, and he often dated different girls when he got off work, which made him quite disliked by the old-fashioned man.

Hendry smiled, waved his hand and said, "No, there is no date today, it's just that a new issue of "The Atlantic" is going to be published today, and I have some expectations in my heart!" ”

"The Atlantic?"

Mr. Movs was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Are you looking forward to the latest Sherlock Holmes?" ”

As a loyal Sherlock Holmes fan, Hendry usually mentions this brilliant fiction character in front of his colleagues, and Mr. Movs naturally knows it. In fact, at that time, out of curiosity, he himself asked Hendry to read the magazine that published the Sherlock Holmes novel, and naturally knew the excitement of this story.

"Yes, sir!"

Hengde nodded forcefully, and said happily: "The magazine has already announced that a new story will be published today. Sorry, I had to leave...... If it's a little later, I'm afraid it will be sold out! ”

Although Sherlock Holmes's detective story has attracted more and more attention, it has appeared relatively late, and it is far from the popular Cheng Dù a few years later. It's just because most of the people who have come into contact with it like it very much. As a result, he has accumulated a lot of irons, and Hendry is one of them.

"Well, don't forget to bring me the magazine tomorrow."

Mr. Movs raised his eyebrows, reminded the other party, and then slowly gathered his things and left the office after Hendry......

Just as it was getting dark, John returned to his rented cabin.

As a bachelor, you have to save money for your future at the same time, so Hendry's dinner is naturally on your own. It's just that he didn't have the heart to cook today, and after eating some food casually, he hurriedly sat down at the table and took out the "Atlantic Weekly" he had just bought.

The kerosene lamp, which was originally dim, was brightened by Hengdeli, who had always been economical.

Although it is easier for young people to accept new things, the salary is not too high after all, and the expenses on women are relatively large, so the Hengdeli family is not qualified to use electric lights, and can only rely on kerosene lamps to illuminate at night. It's just that kerosene is just as expensive. Therefore, Hengde still has to be careful when he uses it, and never dares to be extravagant. But today under the temptation of Sherlock Holmes. He didn't have time to feel distressed, and directly turned the brightness to the maximum!

Flipping through this issue of The Atlantic, Hendry quickly turned to the pages of this issue of Sherlock Holmes Detective Novels. On the first line of this page is the title of this detective novel, "Bloodline......

……

"Huh?!"

Walking into the office early the next morning, Mr. Movs couldn't help but be startled when he saw his colleague Hendry.

As always. Hendry was the first to come to the office, but instead of seeing him busy with his work as usual, Movs sat quietly in his chair alone. And today's Hendry is full of energy from the past, as if he hasn't slept all night, and the whole person looks extremely decadent. This made Mr. Movs a little surprised.

Stepping forward and patting Hendry on the shoulder, Mr. Movs asked in a low voice, "You look terrible, didn't you have a rest last night?" ”

"Huh? Not...... All right! ”

Awakened by Mr. Moves's words, Hendry's expression was a little flustered, which made Movs even more surprised.

After a slight hesitation, Movs finally did not continue to ask, and changed the subject: "Did you buy The Atlantic Weekly yesterday?" Can you lend me a look? ”

"Uh...... Of course. ”

After a dry answer, Hendry handed over the magazine.

Today's work was relatively leisurely, and after an hour of busyness, Mr. Movs relaxed, simply took out this copy of The Atlantic, and read it in his office. It's just that although the work is not busy, there is always something intermittent, and he is slow to read, so he still hasn't finished reading until the end of work, so he can only smile at Hendry: "Can I give you back this magazine tomorrow?" Haha, it's just one ending away from watching it...... Tsk, this one seems to be a little more exciting than the previous ones, and I can't wait to know the results! ”

"Of course, you can keep it and see."

Seeing that it was time to get off work, Hendry, who had been a little uncertain today, casually left a sentence and left in a hurry.

"Hmm, this kid is weird today."

Watching Hendry leave in a hurry, Movs muttered in some confusion.

Looking at the time, and then at the Atlantic Weekly at hand, Movs, who had already been tickled by the plot, quickly decided not to go home for the time being, and read the last few pages of the novel. According to the plot hints earlier in the story, the strange case seems to involve an old incident more than twenty years ago, which makes Mofus's curiosity reach its peak.

An hour later......

"God!"

After reading the last word, Movs's mouth opened wide, and he muttered with a look of shock on his face: "The blood type of Guò can actually tell whether the child is the father's biological or not, this ...... It can't be true, right? ”

Moves, who had read the previous Sherlock Holmes novels, certainly knew what blood type was. It's just that what surprised him was that blood types could be passed down from parents to children, and parents with different blood types could only give birth to children with specific blood types, and in this issue of Sherlock Holmes, the detective and Watson solved the case through this point, how could this not make Movs amazed? And in the novel, it is very clear from the mouth of Guò Watson that this theory is made by a man named John? What Huntelaar's physician discovered, just like the blood type he had discovered before, had a name and a surname, and a qiē made Movs feel so real!

"Huh? Is it ......?"

After the surprise, Movs's heart suddenly flashed through Hendry's strange expression today, and then thought of the kid's usual indiscretions, and finally vaguely understood something...... (To be continued......)
