Doctor Who and Tsundere Detective

Chapter 39 39. What is Love?

"There will never be a son as loyal as him in the world. I am his life. He cares about my every word and deed." Ferguson said this with a very different tone and expression. The whole person They seem to have relaxed and softened a lot. It seems that recalling his son's past events made him very relaxed and comfortable, as if he was in his own safe house, an excellent place for him to relax.

Sherlock looked at Ferguson again, fascinated. It seems that the father and son should actually get along very harmoniously. No matter what, the father must have cared about the child before, and the child must have cared about the father too. Maybe Kathleen was not married before. The father and son should accompany each other as a kind of spiritual dependence. I heard that Ferguson seemed to be on a business trip recently because of business matters. Maybe Ferguson would not feel at ease about leaving Ian in this big manor. All of this should be After Kathleen got married, Kathleen reassured Ferguson that he would put Ian in Kathleen's care. Maybe this was the point of disagreement, and this was the beginning of everything, but who wanted to hurt whom?Maybe the son framed the mother and wanted the father to divorce him, or maybe the mother pretended to endure the grievance first and then it turned out that the mother framed the child?This matter is too complicated, and this matter can have any different results before getting definite clues.

Doctor is also thinking, but he is thinking about all possibilities, not just normal things, but also strange things maybe not aliens?Maybe it's a monster from local legends, or it's a strange creature from the earth, like the Silurians, that is, the old-fashioned native earth residents like the lizard people, such as the devil boy and the devil baby, maybe it looks like a mother Then sucking the baby's blood maybe actually the baby's mother's blood?By the way, in fact, magic babies and devil children are like monsters formed by the power of all legends, just like Doctor rescued his old self from Master by relying on people's ideas, and devil children It's different, it seems to be produced by people's fear, they are produced by people's negative emotions, but... which case is this now?Although Sherlock said that there is an 80.00% chance that this is a normal case, he still said that it might be an extraterrestrial incident. Seeing that Sherlock was stunned there, the Doctor continued to ask: "Before you remarried, you must have had a deep relationship with your son." Yes. You spend a lot of time together, don't you?"

"Together day and night." Ferguson replied in this way. Ferguson's expression is also nostalgic. Maybe now, in Ferguson's view, the time he spent with Ian was the most beautiful and comfortable time. At that time, business was not in his eyes. It’s nothing, the only person he can rely on after his wife’s death is Ian, that’s why he converted such a big old house into a semi-residential and semi-tourist industrial housing. For those who live in the old castle, this can be explained by more than just using the word 'loss'.

And Ferguson's words made Sherlock nod his head. It seems that his guess is correct. The relationship between father and son is very good, maybe too good for people to get involved. Maybe it all stems from Ian's love for his father. It seems to be because of 'love', that is to say, everything that Ian or Kathleen do may be because of love, it is strange, because of love they may hurt each other, most of Sherlock's commissions are because of 'love' ', all kinds of love: "Since this child is very affectionate, of course he deeply loves his late mother?"

"Very deeply in love." After Ferguson said it, Sherlock became somewhat sure of his guess, so it seems that Ian framed Kathleen because of his love for his biological mother, and maybe Ian also hated Kathleen, I hate her for taking away my father's love, and even because Kathleen's father has started to run around again, so Ian spends less and less time with his father. This may be the reason, but no matter what it is, as long as the case has all clues Before collecting everything, Sherlock will make all kinds of guesses, and he will not make a final judgment until he finds the last key evidence, but he already has a general idea of ​​the cause of the matter.

"Looks like he must be an interesting kid. There's also a question about the beating. Did the beating of your son and the mysterious attack on the baby happen at the same time?" Sherlock is now 70.00% sure it caused it It should be Ian, but why would Kathleen suck the baby's blood?Is it really because I sucked out the venom of something as I thought?If so, where did Ian get the venom?

"The first time it was like that. It was like she was suddenly bewitched, or maybe she just let it out that she couldn't stand my sweet Ian anymore and took it out on both kids. The second time it was just Ian getting spanked , the nanny didn’t say what happened to the baby.” Ferguson said this with a look of inexplicable wonder, obviously this incident was sudden and strange to him, and in his eyes the only The explanation is that Kathleen has been deliberately pretending to be gentle for the land and property he inherited from the beginning, but now that she has her own child, she has begun to reveal her true nature.

"It's a bit complicated." Yes, it's a bit complicated. Sherlock thinks it might be a bit complicated from now on. It seems that Ferguson loves Ian too much, and Ferguson doesn't make as many assumptions as he does. , He only believed what he saw, he firmly believed that Kathleen was showing his feet, Kathleen broke out for no reason, and deliberately hurt Ian.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Holmes." Ferguson still didn't quite understand what Sherlock meant. In his eyes, Sherlock asked a lot of useless questions. He felt that maybe the detective was just chatting at home, maybe Said he was doubting Kathleen, but that was normal, even he himself doubted Kathleen.

"Probably. I made some assumptions, and I will wait for time or new information to refute them one by one. This is a bad habit, Mr. Ferguson, but people always have weaknesses." Sherlock stood up and looked at Ferguson condescendingly, It's time, the information he's got is enough for now, maybe they should wait until tomorrow, when he goes to Ferguson's house to see the environment and see the people he should see before he can make a decision for his initial judgment, "Anyway , at present, I can only tell you that I don’t think your case is difficult to solve, but it’s getting late today, taking care of Kathleen’s mood, maybe we should rest first, as for the real truth, I want to wait It’s not too late to talk when all the parties are here tomorrow.”

"Well, you rest first, and I will notify you when Ian comes back tomorrow." Ferguson also agreed with Sherlock's proposal. It is true that there are no people present, and the sky is so dark now. If Sherlock wants to ask Kathleen now Maybe there will be a big fuss again, so Ferguson got up and left after Sherlock gave the order to evict, "Bright will bring you dinner later, you can rest well today, if you need anything, just ring the bell and arrive Someone will bring what you need in time, so you can rest well today."

The sky outside the window had already darkened when Sherlock arrived here, and now the night is very dark, Sherlock is not going to investigate now, sometimes the game is not the faster the game is cleared, the more fun it is, the more controversial the game The more you have to play slowly, the more fun it is, isn't it?Besides, Sherlock has to go through the clues carefully to see if he has left any important clues, or if there is anything he paid attention to. Sherlock's mind is completely gone now.

"Well, thank you." The Doctor seemed to come out of his mind, and he decided not to worry about whether this matter is an alien or an ordinary one, because it seems that any kind of alien creature is far-fetched in this matter, In addition, he had seen the surrounding situation from a helicopter before. Although there was another forest not far away, creatures that fit the situation would definitely not be able to insist on moving from the jungle so far to their residence. The Doctor got up and sent Ferguson to the door and came back up.

"It's all because of love, isn't it?" Sherlock stood by the fireplace and stared at the burning flames in a daze, as if thinking about something, but he said such a sentence out of nowhere, which made the Doctor feel strange.

"What?" The Doctor was puzzled, but he guessed it had something to do with the case.

"You went out?" Sherlock seemed to have just come back to his senses, and found that he was actually talking to himself from the moment just now, Sherlock looked at the Doctor and said, "Everything in this case seems to be because of love, but... What the hell is love?"

Sherlock obviously doesn't understand love very well, it's not that he doesn't know, Sherlock probably knows what it feels like to be divided into different types, and he also knows that love can make people feel all kinds of irrational emotions, but he has never experienced it , Sherlock thought about it carefully. Maybe a few people confessed to him when he was in school, but he never cared about it, because he knew it was a temporary adolescent impulse so he never cared about it.

The author has something to say:

It's like this, originally I wanted to write that Sherlock had a relationship when he was a student

But thinking about his character, I'm afraid he was forced out by Mycroft when he was a child.

So he should know that love is an irrational emotion when he was a student

It's the result of a hormonal surge

So Sherlock understands the emotion but has never experienced it

Should be able to say so

Even a genius has his moments of doubt

As for the repeated mention of Sherlock's conjecture here, it is not without reason

Just like a TV series will mark the clues collected by Sherlock until the end to say his inference

It's just that even a genius has a process in his reasoning, and he may come up with N different kinds of reasoning

He may run the clues over and over in his mind to find the right one

It's just that we can't see these processes, we can only see the correct one he said at the end

So all this rambling is to show that even Sherlock can reason differently
