Volume 2 Murmur in the Night Chapter 5 Unreasonable
When Holmes returned to 221 Baker Street, he went straight into the darkroom and washed up the photos.
And Wang Feng was lying on the sofa alone, bored, and Nai casually picked up a pile of information at hand and looked at it.
"Is this the stuff that guy got before?"
Wang Feng casually flipped through a few times, and most of the content in it was a case that Holmes had solved before.
"Don't touch my stuff casually, otherwise I won't know where to put it then."
Holmes, who had just come out of the darkroom, directly snatched the pile of materials and warned Wang Feng.
"Who is scarce about you? Isn't it a baby? He turned his head to look at Holmes: "Why did the picture wash out?" ”
"It's going to take some time...... But I probably have some ideas. Holmes put the information aside and sat down on the couch and smoked a cigarette.
"Ahem...... Smoking is not a good habit. Wang Feng choked on the smoke and coughed.
Holmes ignored him, instead picked up a piece of chalk and squatted on the ground.
"There was a hole in the head of the corpse, and the brains inside were gone...... The beastly scratches on the body seemed to inflict damage on the deceased at the same time...... It can be said that every place is fatal, especially the scratches on the neck. ”
Wang Feng squatted down and looked at the words written by Sherlock Holmes on the ground and couldn't help but be a little surprised, almost all the suspicious clues were written by him.
Pointing to the dense clues, Wang Feng glanced at Sherlock Holmes: "I didn't expect you to find so many suspicious points in such a short period of time." ”
Holmes shook his head and closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
"Nope! Not all doubts, but most points, there is always something that will be missed. And we haven't been to the woman's house yet, and maybe we'll find something there. But I'm sure it's not a man who made this homicide, but a monster. ”
Wang Feng thought for a moment: "A brain-eating monster? You said that the scars on the body caused the injuries at the same time, but what evidence is there? It's nothing more than your reasoning...... Maybe the woman was tortured to death. ”
Holmes nodded and looked at Wang Feng with a serious face: "You are much smarter than Watson, but I think you know better than me, what happened?" In contrast, this murder is not as charismatic as yours. ”
"Huh?" Wang Feng didn't understand what Holmes wanted to say at all, how the painting style came to him in a flash.
"At this time, strange things in London, one by one, although I don't know what is going on, are beyond the scope of my understanding." He paused for a moment and then slowly stood up: "It is estimated that some kind of force has infiltrated London. It's just that we haven't found out yet. So please tell me what the hell is going on with you? ”
Wang Feng covered his head, but he didn't expect this guy to still be worried about this matter.
And at this moment, two options appeared in front of him.
"Tell the truth...... Don't tell the truth? ”
Wang Feng was a little panicked, maybe his choice would cause a different ending.
"If the truth is told, Holmes will most likely not accept it, because it is completely illogical...... But if you don't tell the truth, it's very likely that something else will happen, and this kind of thing can't be predicted. ”
Wang Feng looked up at Sherlock Holmes's murderous eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
"Is it time to tell the truth? Or don't tell the truth? There is much more truth than a lie. ”
Holmes slowly stepped forward, staring at him like a beast.
"To say or not to say...... I have actually been exposed now, and if I tell a lie, I will definitely not go to the right result...... Now I can only tell the truth, although it is ridiculous, but this is the truth. It's up to him to accept it. ”
Wang Feng sighed: "I told the truth, but this truth is much more ridiculous than you imagined. ”
Sherlock Holmes disagreed, and smiled: "For me, all the truth is very ridiculous, except for all the impossibilities, what remains is the truth." ”
"It's just a game, and I'm a player in this game, and we're going to face a civilization from outer space, and we'll call them Cthulhu. The name Cthulhu is nothing more than a synonym, and there are a series of Ancients, Old Dominators, and so on. Wang Feng's palms were sweating, and he didn't know if he would be punished for saying this.
"So I'm a character in the game?" Sherlock Holmes laughed, "Your truth is ridiculous, but I can tell from your expression that this is not a lie, if it is, the only bullet in this gun will enter your body." ”
He took his left hand out, and inside his left hand was a revolver.
Wang Feng was startled, if he had lied just now, he might have died by now.
He didn't expect Holmes to kill himself with the back of his hand behind him, and it was creepy to think of it.
"This guy is actually playing, really...... This is Watson's body! ”
"I told you before that someone came to me to investigate the bizarre incident, and it was a university professor...... At that time, I also felt ridiculous and even a little unconvinced...... Wang Feng: I can tell you that you are definitely not in the game, but in real reality. ”
Wang Feng saw that Holmes was not shocked by the truth, but felt a little surprised.
"Could it be that this guy already knows what's going on? Just now I was just testing myself to see if I could tell the truth? ”
Sherlock Holmes sighed and looked at the ceiling with a solemn expression: "Look at the way you look, you should have heard my name...... But why do you know my name, that's what doesn't make sense. ”
"Because you're a fictional character with us, it's Conan Doyle who wrote you. After all, who doesn't know the name of the great detective? Wang Feng laughed helplessly, this Sherlock Holmes is too smart.
"But I'm not really a fictional character? It's a real person. It's just that I don't show my face. Actually, when the professor approached me, I also found another person who was doing research in this area. Holmes took out an envelope from his bosom and handed it to Wang Feng: "I just didn't expect this day to come so soon." Of course, this also means that something is bound to change in London. ”
