[Zhongyingmei] Devouring the sky

"So, you know each other?" John looked back and forth between the two, his face a little surprised, he really couldn't see that Sherlock had a friend like Tom, a naive and arrogant, a gentle gentleman, two kinds of friends at all. completely different people.

Emma on the side also looked curious. She never knew that her brother knew a detective, which was really interesting.

"You must be Mr. Watson. I've been reading your blog. It's very good." Tom reached out and shook John's hand. Seeing that Sherlock didn't mean to speak, he explained to John and Emma: "I Sherlock and Sherlock are college classmates, we met in a drama club, Sherlock's talent is very good, his performances are always vivid, completely inversely proportional to his temper."

John couldn't help laughing after hearing this comment: "His performance is indeed very good, and he can always fool many people, but I really didn't expect Sherlock to join the drama club."

"His interests and hobbies are very wide. He participated in almost all the clubs that he could join in the school. He was also a legend in our school at that time, but he was especially good in chemistry and medicine. I thought he would become a chemist Or a doctor, who would have thought that he would eventually become a consulting detective, but this is indeed a very challenging job, and Sherlock likes challenges." Tom said.

"I hope he can be more stable." John made a very helpless expression, and said: "As his assistant, I am often frightened by the way he seeks excitement."

"Really? Why didn't I see that your little heart was frightened, John?" Sherlock suddenly stepped between John and Tom, with the word "unhappy" written all over his long face, squinting his eyes. He glanced at John, then turned his head and said to Tom with a serious face: "Now, lend me your son for a while, there are two poor children waiting for us to rescue, I don't have time to waste listening to you talking about it here My thing, I think I know myself better than anybody."

Tom would not be frightened by Sherlock's serious face, he took two steps back, hugged Fenrir and said, "I can let you ask a few questions, but I must be by Fenrir's side, and, Sherlock, Pay attention to your words, if you dare to scare my son, I will never end with you, I have a dark history with you."

Sherlock felt that there was no problem with the first half of the sentence, but when he finished listening to the second half of the sentence, he immediately raised his chin and said, "What, I have such a black history, why don't I know?"

"Everyone has a dark history, Sherlock." Tom said, and then gave a slight hint: "Do you remember the time when you accidentally burned your hair when you were doing an experiment?"

Sherlock's face immediately turned black visible to the naked eye. If Tom didn't say that he had forgotten, it would indeed be a dark history.It was still in the first year of college. Sherlock failed the experiment and his hair was accidentally burnt. He was in a bad mood, but when he went to the cafeteria, he happened to meet a few campus girls, and the other party laughed at Sherlock. It seems that Xia Xiaogongju Locke, who was in a bad mood at the time, directly performed it to a few girls, and then told them about going to nightclubs to accompany customers at night to earn money and buy famous brands.

Those bitches were considered well-known figures in the school, and they had been pretending to be rich girls, but they were exposed face to face, how could they bear it, chasing Sherlock and beating them up.Of course Sherlock would not stand obediently and be beaten, so the two sides launched a fierce chase in the cafeteria.Sherlock has long hands and feet, and quick movements. He stood on the dominant side at first, but those who can enter Cambridge no matter what their character is, their brains are not stupid. A few girls changed after running for two laps in eight centimeter high heels. With a strategy, relying on their large number of people, they directly came to outflank, and then one of the girls ran in front of Sherlock and poured a bowl of soup on the ground.

Sherlock reacted quickly, and stopped immediately when he saw the soup splashed on the floor. Unfortunately, one of his legs had already stepped out and could not be retracted, so Sherlock came to a horse in the Cambridge cafeteria under the eyes of everyone.Although it didn't press anything, the sad thing is that his trousers are all slim fit, and the thin fabric in summer can't withstand such a big movement, so at the moment Sherlock fell to the ground with his legs crossed, the buttocks on his trousers The seam cracked open, revealing gorgeously the gay purple underpants inside.

It was not dinner time, there were not many people in the cafeteria, and there were so many students in Cambridge, they were too busy studying to meddle in other people's business, and they didn't say anything when they saw it, so it's a miracle that such a big embarrassment didn't leave much behind trace.But Tom happened to be the witness of the whole incident back then, and he was the one who helped Sherlock up and took him back to the dormitory. The impression is really not too deep.

Facing a witness of his dark history, what can Sherlock do, he can only compromise: "Okay, you win, I will treat your son very gently."

Sherlock took Tom and the others aside, away from the noise, and began to ask about Fenrir's situation at that time.Fenrir was unwilling to cooperate at first because Sherlock lied to him. Tom explained to him and told him that if he didn't tell him, something bad might happen to the two missing children. Fenrir That's why I'm willing to answer questions.

"Fenrir, when you were hiding in that corner, did you see anyone coming out of the security door?" Sherlock asked.

"A man, he didn't come out, he just stretched out his head and looked." Fenrir said.

"Then do you remember what he looked like?" Sherlock continued to ask.

"A very ugly ant." Fenrir replied bluntly.

"Very good, an ant." Sherlock rolled his eyes in his heart speechlessly. Ants and goldfish have the same effect. This kid is really promising, but he doesn't want to listen to any ants now. "Can you tell me about the specific appearance of that ant?"

Fenrir pursed his lips and thought for a while: "Very white, very thin, with brown hair."

"Be more specific, for example, what color are the eyes, what is the shape of the nose, what is the shape of the ears, be more specific." Sherlock said.

Want to be more specific?Fenrir pursed his lips, then pursed his lips again, and said after a few seconds of contemplation: "But ants all look the same."

Just as foreigners think that Chinese people all have similar faces, Fenrir, who was a Chinese in his previous life, also thinks that many foreigners have similar faces. Apart from his family and friends, there are also some familiar people he can recognize. If other people don't have more distinctive looks, in Fenrir's view, there is actually not much difference.His face blindness has been known to his family for a long time. At that time, Fenrir was still depressed because he didn't understand that it was called interracial facial recognition disorder, and he thought it was a problem with his eyes.Later, in order to comfort Fenrir, Loki said to him, if someone asks you about this, tell them that the ants look the same, and there is no need for noble protoss to remember their appearance.This is the same reason that human beings think that every ant looks the same, and they don't remember their appearance.

Fenrir felt that there was no problem with his answer, but Sherlock cursed directly after hearing it: "Damnit!"

"Sherlock!" Tom and John gave Sherlock a warning look at the same time, and it was unforgivable to swear in front of children.

"Okay, okay." Sherlock rubbed his foot on the ground angrily, then put on a kind face and continued to ask: "Next question, Fenrir, how did that man take those two children? Did you run over by yourself?"

"He put a little husky at the door, and they passed," Fenrir said.

"Oh, puppy, why didn't I think of it!" Sherlock groaned, turned around in a circle, and said to John: "Why didn't I think of it, John, a puppy, a puppy! The previous abductions were all in the park. I wonder why I couldn’t find any traces of taking the children away, because he didn’t need to take the children away at all. The children followed him by themselves. Find the owner's puppy, oh, what a perfect abduction tool!"

Different from Sherlock's excitement, Tom and Emma were both scared for a while, because Fenrir really likes dogs so much.He has only lived in Tom's community for a few days, and he has established a relationship with all the dogs in the community, including a few stray dogs. This time Fenrir did not go to find that puppy, it was God's blessing .

Tom thankfully kissed Fenrir's face a few times, and said, "Honey, it's great that you don't have a past, and you can't go anywhere without being accompanied by your father, grandma, aunt, or Uncle Luke." Someone else's dog, you know?"

Fenrir blinked, he couldn't understand why Tom made this strange request, so he didn't want to agree, and Sherlock immediately heard what he meant from Tom's words.

He looked at Fenrir and asked curiously: "Fenrir, do you like dogs, right? Then why didn't you go there at that time, you were the first to see that puppy, right?"

"Because the puppy said good kids are not allowed to go, Fenrir is a good boy, so he didn't go." Fenrir replied with a little pride in his tone.

"Yes, Fenrir is a good boy, and next time you see a puppy, you can't just go by." Tom said, and then printed a few kisses on Fenrir's face, and Emma also showed no weakness Fenrir kissed his face several times, which is a reward that a good boy should get.

Neither Tom nor Emma took Fenrir's words seriously, but Sherlock narrowed his eyes. A child who likes puppies very much did not touch the puppies uncharacteristically. There must be a reason for this.

It was impossible for someone to stop it. No adults noticed it at that time, and the children in the play area didn't understand the danger at all.The criminal also has no special requirements for the children. It is impossible for him to choose the children. Even if he had to choose, the probability of choosing Fenrir should be greater than those of the two missing children.

Fenrir's expression didn't look like he was lying, so he was really stopped by the puppy?But is there really anyone in this world who can understand the language of animals?If there is one, it is simply amazing!

Sherlock's eyes lit up, and then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, quickly downloaded a dog barking sound from the Internet, and released it under the surprised eyes of Tom, Emma and John.

"Aww, ow, ow, ow."

The puppy's voice came from the phone, with a cute little milk voice, it sounds so cute.

"Sherlock, what are you doing?" John asked embarrassingly. Sometimes he really didn't understand Sherlock's thinking. Why did he suddenly bark the dog? Although the sound is cute, it's not right for this occasion. .

"It's just a test." Sherlock retracted the phone, then bent down and put his head in front of Fenrir, staring at Fenrir's expression and asked: "Fenrir, do you know what the puppy was talking about just now?" ?"

Stared by Sherlock's eyes, Fenrir shrank into Tom's arms uncomfortably, then he put his arms around Tom's neck and said, "I'm hungry, Dad."

Tom heard that his son was hungry, so he said immediately: "Then let's go home right away, grandma has cooked a lot of delicious food." After speaking, he was about to walk out with Fenrir in his arms.

Sherlock immediately stepped forward to block Tom, still staring at Fenrir and said, "Wait a minute, let your son answer the last question."

"Sherlock, how do you ask Fenrir to answer this kind of question. Don't you think it's too strange to ask a child if he can understand dog barking? And I don't see what it has to do with the case." said Tom.

"Of course it's important. He said that the puppy told him not to go there, but the puppy can't speak human language, so I want to see if your son can understand the barking of dogs." Sherlock said.

"Sherlock, this is just a child's talk. How can you take him seriously?" Tom was very helpless. Sherlock was always like this. His thinking was not on the same line as ordinary people. Sometimes he really felt that he was still doing experiments and being stupid. Oh, how can a normal person think that a child can understand a dog barking? This is simply impossible.

"Sherlock, don't do this, let's hurry up and catch the criminal." John was also embarrassed, and after smiling at Tom and Emma, ​​he pulled Sherlock away and asked a child if he could understand a dog barking , and specifically let the dog bark, oh my God, John is glad that the Scotland Yard police didn't see the scene just now, otherwise this would have confirmed the title of freak even more.

"John, why are you dragging me?" Sherlock, who was forcibly dragged away, was very dissatisfied, and struggled to say: "That kid understands, I'm sure he understands. Didn't you see, he was obviously avoiding me just now If he doesn't understand, he won't avoid my sight."

"He avoids your eyes just because your eyes are too strange, Sherlock, do you know that when you look at the corpses in this laboratory, you have this kind of eyes." John said, he didn't intend to let go, Originally, he wanted to exchange phone calls with Emma, ​​but now he's fine, he was confused by Sherlock, really angry.

"My eyes are looking for the truth!" Sherlock retorted.

"The truth is that the kid doesn't understand a dog barking at all."

"No, he must understand, he just now, oh!" Sherlock stopped suddenly, looked at John's expression as if he had discovered a new continent, and said excitedly: "He didn't evade just now, he answered me , I heard, I'm hungry, Dad. That dog barking means I'm hungry, Dad. John, did you notice that he always had a little hesitation when he called Tom Dad, but just now he didn't, because he didn't No more Tom."

"I just knew it! I just knew it! This kid is different, his accent, his origins, oh, oh, it's like Christmas, Santa Claus really gave me a big gift, you think John?" Sherlock jumped up and down excitedly.

John looked at Sherlock like an idiot and said, "No, Sherlock, I think he's simply saying he's hungry, and if you notice the time, you'll know it's time for dinner."

"Sherlock, did you find anything?" Lester asked, attracted by Sherlock's jumping up and down.

"Yes, I found a very interesting thing." Sherlock said, but he was not going to share this discovery with Leicester. He coughed lightly and said, "The witnesses said that the two children were You were attracted by a little husky, go back and look at the surveillance videos of the previous cases, maybe you can find a little husky that can be stuffed in your arms without being seen."

"When did you find the witness? What else did he see?" Lester asked immediately.

"I said that there were witnesses among the children, and obviously I was right." Sherlock straightened the scarf around his neck and said, "By the way, the murderer is at least 1.9 meters tall, with a thin build, pale skin, and brown hair. Yes, the work you are engaged in should be able to come into contact with paint with a pungent smell, you can check it out."

Seeing that Sherlock was about to leave, Leicester quickly asked, "Wait, what about the kid who saw the murderer, did he say anything about the murderer's specific appearance?"

"He has already left, but he did see the murderer's appearance. He said that the murderer looks like an ant." Sherlock said.

"Ants? What?" Lester asked in a daze.

"Who knows?" Sherlock shrugged and walked downstairs with long legs.

"Wait, Sherlock, where are you going?" John and Leicester waved their hands and chased after him and asked, "Aren't we looking for the murderer?"

"It's enough to have these clues. If they can't find the murderer, then Scotland Yard can be closed." Sherlock said.

"But how do you know the murderer's height and his job?" asked John.

"The clues left by the murderer at the security gate, focus on John, don't always think about finding a girlfriend." Sherlock pouted as he said, he was really impressed by the speed at which John found a new girlfriend, don't think he just didn't I saw the way this guy flirts with Sister Tom.

Alas, what a pity, another girl is about to face the pain of losing her love.

What clues did the murderer leave at the door? John didn't see it at all, so he simply stopped thinking about it, touched his stomach and asked, "Sherlock, shall we go to dinner now?"

"If you're hungry, you can buy a hamburger, we have other things to do." Sherlock walked ahead with his hands in his pockets.

When John heard the word Hamburg, he looked at Sherlock with some resentment and said. "What are you doing, aren't you looking for a murderer?" Since you're not looking for a murderer, why can't you go to the restaurant to have a good meal, he doesn't want to eat any burgers in this cold night at all.

"Go to the movies." Sherlock replied.

"what movie?"

"Doctor Dolittle."
