[Comprehensive British and American] My Neighbor Mr. Holmes

On Sunday, the sky was still very gloomy.

William changed into a decent suit and combed all his hair back, revealing his full forehead. He looked handsome and energetic.When everything was ready, William went downstairs, and as soon as he reached the second floor, he saw Sherlock standing in his doorway in a brown nightgown, looking at him with silver-gray eyes.

"You are going now."

"Yes, the time on the invitation letter is nine o'clock, and I have to get there before nine o'clock."

Regarding what Willy Wonka told him, William told Sherlock directly as soon as he returned.

Firstly, he absolutely trusts Sherlock's IQ; secondly, he thinks that Willy Wonka must have something wrong as if he came here on purpose; thirdly, he doesn't know what will happen, although he believes With his own ability, no one can defeat him, but, "There are sky outside the sky, and there are people outside people", he always has to save one hand.

"Take it."

Sherlock reached out and handed William a silver gray watch.

What is this for?

William blinked in bewilderment.

"Monitor and positioning system."

Sherlock said, stuffing the mechanical watch into William's hand, "I asked Mycroft to deliver it last night. You know, he has a lot of these things."

"Oh, thanks, I hadn't thought of that."

While thanking, William put on the mechanical watch, "By the way, if possible, thank Mr. Mycroft for me."

"I don't think he needs to."

Sherlock shrugged, looking a little disgusted, he looked at William with silver-grey eyes, and said, "Watson asked me to say for him, be careful, he went back to the hospital overnight because of an emergency, it's really bad Knowing that kind of boring work, how could he be so serious."

"That's because Watson likes it," William said with a smile, "just like Sherlock likes to solve crimes, it's all because of likes."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything further.

William looked at the time, it was already past eight o'clock, he hurriedly said goodbye to Sherlock, hired a taxi, and rushed to the chocolate factory.Maybe it's because today's chocolate factory is holding such an event for the first time since the unpleasant incident 15 years ago, so many media rushed over, not only from the UK, but even from foreign media. Come on, for a while, the traffic jam on that road was extremely serious.

But fortunately, William's taxi miraculously arrived outside the chocolate factory in the crowd of people. At this time, it was three minutes before the scheduled nine o'clock. The five selected children and their parents were all excited Standing at the door and waiting for the door to open, William walked through the crowd to the iron gate, and looked inside through the gap between the iron pillars.

The entire chocolate factory occupies a huge area, like a double ring nested together, with a huge chocolate factory in the middle, and a tall wall around the chocolate factory, only through the iron gate in front of you, you can Entering this chocolate factory, you can only enter the interior of the chocolate factory through the only door.

At this moment, the whole chocolate factory was extremely quiet!

Regardless of the noisy crowd around him, William raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already 59:[-], and there was still one point left!

"tick", "tick".

Time passed bit by bit, William didn't move his eyes at all, and when the time pointed to nine o'clock, the door of the chocolate factory opened automatically.

In an instant, the whole crowd was boiling!

The five selected children and their parents, plus William as the witness, a total of eleven people stepped into this quiet land. They walked forward step by step, and when they left the iron gate, The door that had just been opened closed automatically again, as if someone was watching their every move, and locked the eleven of them in the chocolate factory.

William took a look at the entire chocolate factory calmly, and found that it was very different from ordinary factories, and this chocolate factory seemed extraordinarily strict.

"You are Mr. William Stocker! I am Andrew Salter, and I have had the honor of working with old Mr. Stocker."

Suddenly, an Andrew Salter who was standing next to him came over, looked at William in surprise, obviously recognized him, he said here, with a sigh on his face, "about the old Mr. , I am very sorry, he is a charitable man."

"Thank you."

William nodded gently.

"Mr. Stock is the witness for this?"

Seeing that there were no children around William and William Stoker's age, Andrew Salter obviously understood William's identity at this time, "So, you and Mr. Willy Wonka are friends!"

"Sorry, we're not," William said seeing Andrew Salter smile brighter, "It's just a chance meeting, Mr. Willy Wonka said that he wanted to find someone who was unfamiliar with everyone To be a witness, so I'm here."

"Ah, so it is!"

Andre Salter was slightly taken aback, and in less than a second, the smile returned to his face, "I didn't expect to be able to visit with Mr. William Stoker, it's really a pleasure!"

Seeing this, William just nodded reservedly.

The four adults on the side heard what the two of them were chatting, and they all looked over at the same time. Except for Joseph who was looking around excitedly, the other three expressed their friendliness to William more or less.

In this regard, William did not say much, just one by one forehead.

"Well, Mr. William Stock, here is my business card," Andrew Salter said, handing out a business card upon seeing this, "if you need anything, you can come to me at any time, of course, if you can , I heard that your pomegranate..."

Before Andrew Salter finished speaking, he heard a burst of music playing, "Will Wonka, Willy Wonka, the amazing chocolate shop. Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, everyone sends out cheer……"

The song is simple, cheerful, catchy, and a bit childlike. It is indeed a very good song. William turned his head and looked at Will Wonka, who seemed to have suddenly appeared beside him. wearing round sunglasses, clapping his hands excitedly, making his originally pale face a little blush.

"You look very bad."

William turned sideways and whispered these words in Willy Wonka's ear. Willy Wonka suddenly stopped clapping his hands. He turned his face away, looked at William blankly for a second, and suddenly Started laughing.

"It's such a beautiful song, isn't it!"

Willy Wonka stopped clapping his hands excitedly, he replied indifferently, passed William, walked to the front of the crowd, took out a card with a smile, and led the crowd into the room after he finished reading it against the card. Inside the factory.

As soon as he entered the factory, he felt the heat rushing towards his face. William looked around and felt that there were faint fluctuations of magic power around him, as if the whole factory was in a huge magic circle, maybe it was sealed inside. , so William didn't notice it when he was outside, but as soon as he entered, he felt a huge wave of magic power rushing towards him. In addition, there was a special wood element jumping actively in it.

With such huge fluctuations in magic power and so many wood elements, William became more and more cautious about this place.

But nothing happens until the very end when it's just Charlie, and it feels like Willy Wonka really just wants to invite him here to visit the chocolate factory and be a witness.

too weird!

"Mr. William Stocker, there is something I would like to talk to you about."

When Charlie Bucket and Joseph left with a smile, Willy Wonka finally shifted his gaze to William, with a pale face and black eyes, he looked extremely serious.

"of course."

William answered.

He has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, Willy Wonka smiled, and led William through the long corridor to an empty room.

In this house, the whole room is snow-white, even the only piece of furniture - the two sofas, are all snow-white, that white is simply dazzle people's eyes.

"Welcome to my lounge."

Willy Wonka said, and sat on the sofa. Seeing this, William sat opposite him.

"I want to know why you asked me to come."

William said bluntly.

"I thought you'd like an afternoon tea."

Willy Wonka said, blinking his eyes, he had measured something, knocked on the wall next to him, did not know what to press, two cups of steaming black tea were lifted out from the separated ground by a square table.

“Darjeeling black tea, very good choice.”

William glanced at the red tea soup, but didn't reach out to take it. He just looked at the decoration on the teacup. The blue and white background was Chinese blue and white porcelain. "It matches this set of blue and white porcelain very well."

Willy Wonka looked at the black tea mountain with his eyes and smiled. He picked up his cup of black tea and took a sip, his pale face eased a little.

"I'm under a curse, I think you already know that."

"That's right." William shifted his gaze to Willy Wonka's body, staring at his pale cheeks. "It seems that this curse is very hard to unravel, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me."

"It's true," Willy Wonka didn't hide his purpose, "Someone wants to see you, but he can't come to see you, so he said to me, as long as I bring you there, he will help me relieve the pain." curse."

"You don't seem to believe that man's words," William said, looking at Willy Wonka's still very flat expression, "but you still came, so there is only one possibility, that is, you Very curious too, right?"

"good."

Willy Wonka smiled, "I think as long as I'm a pirate, I'm sure I'm interested in you."

"pirate?"

William was taken aback for a moment, obviously not knowing how this matter was related to pirates.

"It seems that you don't know the specific reason of the matter," Willy Wonka said with a clear smile, "Don't you know that your ancestors once had a treasure map of the Pirate King? It is said that this treasure is worth □ □, as long as there are a little bit of ambitious pirates, they want to take it for themselves, but they only know that this matter is related to the Stoke family, but no one knows where it is. "

"That said, why did they just make me hand over things instead of killing me?"

William suddenly realized, and then he looked at Willy Wonka with a puzzled look and said, "But they didn't move anymore?"

"In the beginning, everyone acted independently, but later, this matter was known by the big pirate 'One Eye'. You must know that he is the most ferocious pirate who has almost conquered the entire Atlantic Ocean. He wants to monopolize this treasure. Where are the other pirates? Still dare to grab? So in some respects, you should thank him."

Willy Wonka said, looked at William and continued, "However, you will face him in the future, I am afraid you will feel very sad, you know, he is not only a very cruel person, it is said that he can control the sea His 'mood', so every time he sails, it is always sunny and sunny."

"But even so, I don't know where the treasure map you mentioned is. The Stoke family has no family history in this regard," William said, thinking about his family's history, "The only thing that has something to do with it is probably In the eighteenth century, when the decree on the legalization of piracy was just promulgated, my ancestor was a duke, but for some reason, he was demoted by the queen and became a viscount. , the Stoke family began to decline."

"I'm afraid it may be because of that treasure map."

Willy Wonka said, "You know, the reason why pirates are looking for you now is not only because you are the heir of the Stoke family, but also because, a few days ago, some pirates found a The parchment records that the Stoke family got a pirate's treasure map, but what is puzzling is that although the Stoke family got the treasure map, they never searched for it, but just hid it. "

"But this incident has not left a trace in the Stoke family."

William couldn't help shaking his head and said, "If I say I don't know, will those pirates let me go?"

"I thought it was impossible."

Willy Wonka shrugged, looked at William with dark eyes, and said with a smile, "You know, pirates are a group of very patient people, for example, me."

"you?"

William looked at Willy Wonka and said in surprise, "Are you a pirate too?"

"Don't I look like that?"

Willy Wonka smiled, and a blush appeared on his pale face, "But I should be well-known among pirates, if you've heard of it, Jack Sparrow, the captain of the 'Black Pearl'."
