Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

"This is..." Their client, Helen Stoner, looked at the people in front of him with some doubts.She was pale and dejected, with frightened eyes like those of a chased animal.Her figure looks like she is about 30 years old, but her hair is prematurely decayed and mixed with a few strands of silver. "I thought it was only you and the doctor, Mr. Holmes."

"Ah, since your situation is more urgent, they are here to help." John pointed at Sirius and Remus and laughed, and then pulled Harry in front of him, "This is our son, Harry. Potter. You know, it's not easy to leave a child alone at home."

Helen nodded understandingly: "Children always need more care. I just didn't expect so many people to come. There is still a room in the house, but I'm afraid it needs to be tidied up before people can live in it. Let's go to the hotel in the town. How about it? It's less than half an hour's walk from my house."

"No need." Sherlock flatly refused, "Let's go to your room." He didn't care about the surprised eyes of the people around him, "You can just stay in the hotel. As I mentioned last time, you are now living with your sister. Did you live in the same room in the past?"

"Yes." Helen further explained, "My sister Julia and I have had a good relationship since we were young, and we often lived in the same room until we grew up. After my sister passed away, her room was always empty. I usually live in hers." Opposite, but my stepfather said that I will get married soon, and I need to repaint the room. I don’t know if the quality of the paint used is too bad. The smell in the room after painting is very pungent, so I temporarily moved to my sister’s house. I went to live in the room. What's the problem?"

"No problem." Sherlock smiled sincerely, "It's just that I'm a little concerned about the 'swish' sound you said, and I want to witness it tonight, isn't it convenient?"

"Of course, of course." Helen nodded repeatedly. Of course it would be best to resolve this matter as soon as possible. She was almost crushed. "You are really kind. But the room is too small, so many of you may be a little crowded. If you can't bear it, my stepfather's room is next door, so you can go there for a while. He just goes out these few days."

"It's okay, if it's too crowded, we can—uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Sirius covered his mouth halfway through his words, and replied instead, "We can just stand up, after all, the situation is urgent."

Harry grinned. After hearing that they were going to solve the case, Sirius stalked Remus and wanted to come with him, and listed a lot of things like "What if I meet a wizard, look at her sister's death." It’s so strange, maybe it’s also the work of the black wizard. Take us with you, and I will guarantee your safety.” and other reasons.So in the end, Sherlock and John's two-person crime-solving and honeymoon trip became a five-person super sightseeing group, and Sherlock is still angry about it.

"This house...isn't that great?" Sirius commented, looking up and down at the old house of Roylot's family.

"Sigh." Harry sighed. After Sirius came out of Azkaban, he first recuperated in the magnificent Sherlock Holmes Manor, and later lived in Baker Street, neither of which could be regarded as a normal Muggle residence.Now I have gone to the old house of a down-and-out family, and I don't know when I will be able to recognize the home of "ordinary people".

Roylott's house has no special features, but from the traces left on the walls and shelves, it can be seen that it is really in decline-many of the former decorations have been taken down and sold for money.However, Julia's room is very delicately furnished, with light-colored patterned wallpaper, a warm small desk lamp, and a string of beautiful ceramic wind chimes with holes hanging by the window.

"What do you see, two big detectives?" John leaned against the wall halfway, watching the two father and son writhing around in the room, tilted his head and said with a smile, "This is the girl's room. Take it easy."

Sherlock paid no heed to this, but he did walk around Buckingham Palace with no underwear but a towel, the women's room?What should he do.Harry froze for a moment, then quickly forgot about it too, and followed his father to conquer the world... Ah no, the room went.

"This room..." Lupine frowned, leaning closer to the wall, the tragic experience in his childhood made him discriminated against, and also enhanced his abilities in certain aspects, "This room has a strange smell. "

"Oh?" Sherlock rolled his eyes, looked at Lupine carefully, then turned his eyes back to look at the wall, "Is the smell coming from here?"

Lupine took a deep breath and replied in the affirmative: "It's in the whole room, but the wall part has the strongest smell."

"This is interesting. Harry, come and see, and tell me what you find."

Harry leaned close to the wall, and gently touched the wallpaper with his hands—perhaps because of the age, the wallpaper was slightly peeled off, and some places were slightly bulging and uneven.Suddenly he touched a small round hole. "This is—a pipe? There's a hole behind the wallpaper?" He was about to close his eyes and look.

"Don't go." Sherlock pulled him back, turned to look at John, "Do you remember what Helen said her sister yelled before she died?"

"Spotted tape!"

"That's right, it's the speckled belt." Sherlock danced his arms and legs, "It's a wonderful idea, and our stepfather can be considered smart."

Sirius was very dissatisfied with his complacent look: "If you have the time to dance, why not explain what's going on, what's the matter with you?"

It was Harry who reacted first: "The belt... still has small holes and the size of a tube. Could it be a snake?"

"That's right." Sherlock nodded appreciatively at Harry, then gave Sirius another provocative look—hmph, if you're stupid, don't blame others for being smart!The eyes of the two people collided fiercely in the air, and sparks flashed.

"Sherlock—" John and Remus shook their heads helplessly after looking at each other, and ordered, "tell us what's going on."

"Your previous guess is not wrong. This stepfather is indeed going to kill his daughter for the sake of property. But his action is extremely clever. He used the pipe buried in the wall to quietly put the snake into Julia's room, taking the opportunity Kill her. When the police want to investigate, he can use the excuse of being away from home to confess that he doesn't know. Maybe his daughter didn't know where to play and was bitten. As a result, those stupid police didn't even have a toxicology test. Once done, the case is closed."

"But the snake is so obedient? How can he guarantee that the snake will run into Julia's room?"

"This is what I said about his brilliance." He pointed to the string of wind chimes, "Did you see that? The wind chimes with holes are special sounding wind chimes. A special sound. There will be strong winds here at night, Julia and Helen are used to hearing the sound of wind chimes and will not find it strange. Our suspect is using this sound to train the snake to ensure that it will automatically go into the room." (1)

"This is really disgusting!" Sirius was filled with righteous indignation, regardless of the previous awkwardness, "Let's go and arrest that bastard."

"No." Sherlock shook his head, "Ms. Helen has not been harmed so far, and the incident two years ago has passed too long, and we have no evidence to arrest him. So..."

"So we're going to stay here overnight to catch him." John took over his words, "Harry, do you want to go lie down for a while?"

"No." Harry refused.In the past, fathers would take him to see the scene at most when handling cases. This is the first time he has caught up with the job of catching prisoners, and he is in high spirits.

"Then be careful for a while." John couldn't pinch him, so he had to warn: "Be careful."

Harry grimaced at him, "Got it—"

The black night finally fell, several people sat nervously in the room and waited with bated breath.Finally, a crackling sound came from the wall, and one could not help but imagine the horrible cold-blooded animal crawling slowly in the pipe.

Sirius and Remus took the lead after casting a simple protective spell on everyone, and wizard spells were more flexible than pistols when it came to dealing with snakes.Harry was undoubtedly stuffed at the back, the boy pouted, and kept comforting himself in his heart that he was still young, and he would definitely stand at the front in a few years!

They could gradually see the raised part of the wallpaper, and soon, a triangular head with some colorful patterns could be seen gradually revealed.Sirius dashed over and grabbed it by seven inches. "Remus! Hurry up!"

Remus was about to cast a spell when Harry let out a gasp.

"What's wrong?" John quickly turned around and asked, "What happened?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh))

"What?" Sherlock snatched the snake from Sirius' hand, "Can you understand? What is it saying?"

"It...it said that Sirius pinched it, and he must bite him hard later." Harry spent a long time uttering the words he wanted to say, and he found that his tongue seemed to be churning together As if to understand, "Uh(⊙o⊙)...I think I can not only understand, but also speak Parseltongue." He made a few hissing sounds.

"God." Sirius remembered in horror what Sherlock had told him, and he finally had to admit that it had come true.

Harry didn't notice the ugly faces of the adults, he was greeting the little snake softly.The snake moved uncomfortably in Sherlock's hand, and spit out a thin and long red letter, which together with the small eyes formed a strange expression for humans—"Snake Whisperer ? I haven't heard of the Parsel Whisperer for a long time, hiss—"

The author has something to say: (1) The speckled belt case in the original book of Sherlock Holmes is that Indians used flutes, but I read it later and said that snakes do not have our sense of hearing in the traditional sense.I was really confused about this aspect, so I still used the sound setting, but changed the wind chimes (╮(╯▽╰)╭It’s too strange to come to India to train snakes at this time).The air vents were Jazz's idea, and the pipes - you know that. (*^__^*) Hee hee... I've been thinking about writing this case together with Harry's Parseltongue for a long time.
