On the fourth floor of the library of Peking University, there is a foreign language book consultation room.

William was sitting at his desk, looking thoughtfully at Du Ruoying who was on the opposite sofa. She was silently flipping through an English version of "The Detective Sherlock Holmes" with elegant and slow movements. Here it is.

"This is different from what you said, classmate Xiaoying." He asked, "Didn't you say that you won't monitor me while I'm at work?"

"I'm not spying on you," she said indifferently, "There's no class today, so I'll come to the library to read, okay?"

"Do you have to watch it here?"

"Can't you watch it here?"

"Of course." William smiled warmly, "But since you come to the consulting room to read, shouldn't you ask me for something?"

She raised her eyes to look at him, and the sunlight behind her outlined a hazy and dazzling outline for him, illuminating his sleeves and collar as white as new snow.

It really has a very confusing and deceptive appearance, which almost fascinates her.

However, when it came to consulting, she remembered that she really wanted to ask him a lot of questions, such as the mysterious transfer of 5000 yuan.However, ghosts believe that he will confess frankly!

"Then let me ask you a question about this book." She walked forward, spread the book in her hand, and patted it on his desk, "What happened in the Reichenbach scene, why? Someone who should have fallen to his death is actually sitting here right now?"

This question is not so much a consultation as it is just a simple complaint.

"Oh, interesting question." William interlaced his fingers under his chin and said with great interest, "Then what do you think happened in Reichenbach's scene?"

"...How did you ask me back?" Du Ruoying frowned.

"Seriously, Xiaoying, Reichenbach is indeed an interesting question, why don't we think about it together." His slender fingers landed on one of the texts, which is Holmes recalling the Reichenbach Falls after his return. Part of the narration of the duel scene:

"... Moriarty is still following me, and I have no way to go when I reach the end. He didn't draw his weapon, but suddenly rushed over and hugged me. He knew that everything was over for him, and he just rushed seeking revenge on me. The two of us huddled by the waterfall."[1]

William smiled and continued: "Look, the original book mentioned that Mr. Holmes took the initiative to go to the place of Reichenbach, and Moriarty just chased him all the way and followed him there. Then, I would like to ask classmate Xiaoying, Mori As a chaser, Artie faced Mr. Holmes with strong fighting skills, why did he choose to charge up with bare hands in the end, why didn't he use a gun or a sword to make a surprise attack, have you ever thought about this problem?"

Du Ruoying felt that she was being asked, she scratched her head with difficulty, and then said falteringly: "This...how do I know this, shouldn't I ask yourself?"

"Let's look at another possibility behind this incident from a third-person perspective—is it possible that Mr. Holmes deliberately lured Moriarty to Reichenbach and sent the unsuspecting opponent Pushed it straight forward, and sentenced an innocent mathematics professor to death without conclusive evidence. After so many years, so that the truth has become impossible to verify, he came back with such a set of lies..."

This shameless guy, how dare he talk so casually!

Du Ruoying felt deeply angered: "You're talking nonsense! And it's said in the original book that Holmes has found real evidence, which is why he will be hunted down."

"What evidence, can you tell me specifically?"

"I……"

"Since the evidence has been found, why not list it clearly in the article? You must know that Watson has recorded the logic chain and specific evidence of all other cases in great detail, but the one related to Moriarty is so Scarce, vague, broken, don't you find it strange?" He said to her in a persuasive tone. .seven

"You're a natural sophist, I won't quarrel with you!" Du Ruoying reached out and took away the original book on the table, turned her head and went back to the sofa.

She really asked for it, why did she stupidly accept his accost before?How is it now? After being asked by him in a few words, her mind immediately went into a mess.

The black-bellied detective Sherlock Holmes accidentally killed the innocent professor Moriarty, how could such a thing happen? !

However, the words he said were indeed impeccable...

"Don't be angry, I just proposed a possibility that you haven't thought about. You see, sometimes the truth is so easy to be disguised by others. What you believe is just what you want to believe." He spread his hands , showing a very innocent smile, "Ah, sorry, the joke seems to be a little too much, I hope it won't shake your firm belief, classmate Xiaoying."

However, she just had a gloomy face, and her eyes turned to other directions awkwardly, as if she didn't intend to answer any more words from him.

There was a brief silence in the consultation room.

Fortunately, a short knock on the door sounded at the right time, dispelling the awkward atmosphere.

"Is Mr. William here? We are the three mathematics students who asked you to tutor IMC (International Mathematics Competition for University Students) yesterday."

"Please come in."

The office door was slowly pushed open, and the three boys cautiously poked their heads in, looked at Du Ruoying on the sofa, and then at William.One of them whispered to Du Ruoying, "Are you also in line?"

"Ah, no, no, I'm just here to sit on the sofa, please feel free." She waved to them casually, and they came in.

The three of them picked up a chair from various places, gathered to sit down opposite William, and then took out the exercise set from their schoolbags.

"Teacher, we thought about this question for a long time last night but couldn't figure it out. Why did the three of us use different methods to calculate different answers? I got 0."

"Teacher, look, this is my solution, and the solution is -1."

"And mine, I calculated it as negative infinity. Teacher, which one of us has a more reasonable solution?"

William took their exercise book and looked at it, then picked up the pen and paper at hand and tried to write two lines: "The real answer is actually 1, right? So there are problems in all three solutions."

The three students were visibly shocked.

"Good... so strong!"

"How is it possible, so fast? I have calculated this question for three or four hours—hey, how about you?"

"Me too... four or five hours... Teacher, how did you do it?"

"Actually, all three of your problem-solving ideas are very interesting," William said with a smile, "but this problem is not as complicated as you think. You see, first of all, the range of initial values ​​restricts you from using the triangular double-angle formula, so Shen Hongjie The method is not feasible. Then if you split it here, you will find that the limit value of xn should be positive infinity, and Li Lin did the calculation in reverse at this step, causing them to cancel each other out... In fact, after this step , you only need to directly bring this value into it, perform merging and reduction, and let the numerator and denominator cancel each other out, and the correct answer can be obtained."

"Oh——" All three showed expressions of sudden realization, "This solution is so ingenious, much simpler than the solution of the standard answer."

"Ah, we still have a question, it's this question..."

Du Ruoying watched from afar William who was patiently tutoring the students with their homework, and the group of students around him. They got along so happily, like the "Athens School" written by the Italian oil painting master Raphael, exuding Some sort of strange appeal.

The center of the composition of "The School of Athens" is Plato and Aristotle, and the center of the painting in front of him is undoubtedly William. His red rhinestone-like eyes become more and more shining because of thinking about math problems. Hui.

It is dangerous to meet the eyes of him at this moment, because——just look at each other, and she may never be able to look away.

It would be great if the approachable William in front of him was his original face...

She sighed softly, got up and went to the water dispenser to get them four cups of hot water.After all, judging from their increasingly heated discussions, it is estimated that they will talk for a long time.

"Thank you." The three students thanked each other after taking the water cups.

One of the boys whom William had just called Shen Hongjie looked up at her, and asked further: "Student, which college are you from?"

"I built the courtyard." Du Ruoying smiled politely.

"Wow, Jianyuan!" The tall and thin boy with round glasses with silver rims showed an extremely exaggerated expression, "That's the ace major of Beiyu University. It's amazing, amazing."

Another boy also took up the conversation and said: "The end of the semester can still be so free, as expected, the only thing left is to build the courtyard."

"Haha..." She took a few steps back in embarrassment, preparing to withdraw from their sight.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hongjie turned around and continued: "Student, how old are you?"

"Sophomore."

"What a coincidence, I'm also a sophomore." He said, "My name is Shen Hongjie, Department of Mathematics, and you, what's your name?"

She hesitated for a moment uneasily, then replied, "Du Ruoying."

Is this guy checking his account? Why do he keep asking questions?

Shen Hongjie glanced at her face and long hair, and then moved down the ginger dress to her ankles: "Hey, where are you from?"

"...local." Her tone could no longer conceal her anger.

"Oh, from Beiyu." He nodded and smiled, "Speaking of which, I'm half a Beiyu..."

"Student Xiaoying, come here." William suddenly interrupted Shen Hongjie and waved to Du Ruoying.

"Why?" She walked around the desk suspiciously and walked to his side.However, before she could react, a force suddenly surrounded her waist, bringing her whole body to his side.

She looked down, and this dead golden retriever... actually put his hand on her waist.

William's gaze was still looking gently at Shen Hongjie who was sitting across from him. At first glance, he seemed to have the same expression as when he was tutoring the other party's homework, but there was obviously a hint of hostility in his smile.

This guy is actually declaring his sovereignty...

Du Ruoying couldn't help but glanced at him with black lines all over her face.

Hey, hey, it's just a pretend relationship, don't play too much, Comrade Moriarty! ! !

She stubbornly broke free from his shackles, but this seemed to be within his expectation, and he let go of his hand in a very timely manner, and said to her: "Don't you have other things to do, don't worry about it." You purposely stayed here with me. Listening to us talk about mathematics, is it boring to you?"

Before she could figure out how to answer his words, he stretched out his hand and gave her a slight nudge.Rather than pushing, it's better to say it's caressing, not only the movements are very intimate, but also the eyes are extremely doting: "Go back and wait for me, good boy."

...? ! !

This is totally unacceptable...

She looked around at the shocked expressions of the three students, so embarrassed that she almost wanted to jump out of the window and escape.

Unfortunately, this is the fourth floor.

"Less...don't read the domineering president's text, what a mess..." She answered indiscriminately, then threw down the cup and plate, and quickly fled the Shura field.

After leaving the library, the cool wind passed by her side through the lush street trees, gradually regaining her sobriety.

She cared more about the conversation they had at the beginning than the bloody romantic drama at the end.This irresponsible dead golden retriever, every time after destroying her three views, she doesn't care about it, leaving her alone so uncomfortable that she will die...

So, what the hell happened in that duel at the Reichenbach Falls! ! ! !
