Chapter 42 Long time no see

London, England

Walking on the streets of London, ordinary people who don’t know magic come and go. The Winnie family of three mixed in without any violation. They went shopping like ordinary Muggles, eating French fries, and feeding them. white dove.

At this time, they were sitting in an ordinary restaurant, eating fish and chips and enjoying the rain outside the window.

The sky outside the window was very dark and it was raining heavily. Some people hurriedly walked with umbrellas, some covered them with their hands or handbags, and hurriedly found a place to shelter from the rain.

This is the difference between Muggles and wizards. Muggles must carry an umbrella whether it is raining or sunny, while wizards only need a wand in their hands to solve the problem of strong sunlight or being wet by rain.

"Frankly speaking, sometimes we have to admit that Muggles are indeed very smart in certain aspects." Brett half-closed his eyes, and took a sip of coffee. The taste was both mellow and rich, and he was refreshed a lot.

In the past two or three years, Brett has been developing business in the Muggle world, made a lot of investments, and encountered many novel and interesting inventions, which have never been seen in the wizarding world.

"It's also very dangerous at the same time." Salina responded lightly. Although Muggles have created many useful things, they have also created some extremely dangerous things. Like Muggle weapons, their power cannot be ignored.Although she doesn't agree with the Dark Lord's idea that Muggles shouldn't exist in this world, it doesn't mean she agrees with Dumbledore's idea of ​​protecting Muggles. Look at the terrible power of weapons, no matter how you look at it. No need for wizard protection.

"Indeed." Brett smiled ambiguously. He also thought of what Serena thought, and this was also the reason why they chose neutrality in the war. Whether it was Voldemort or Dumbledore, the ideas on both sides were too extreme. , one side advocates killing all Muggles, and the other side is committed to protecting all Muggles.

But it is easy to be neutral in a war. Although it seems peaceful now, everyone knows that that person will definitely come back again.

Winnie, who didn't know much about the Dark Lord, didn't know the worries of Serena and Brett at this time, but simply thought that the two were discussing the development of Muggles.

On the way home, Winnie was attracted by an inconspicuous shop. She stopped in front of the door, first glanced at the old gadgets in the glass display window, and then looked up at the sign of the shop—Time (TIME)

Serena, who realized that Winnie hadn't followed, stopped, turned around, and found that her precious daughter was staring at an old shop without blinking.

Serena and Brett glanced at each other, and then walked to Winnie. Serena looked at the old shop in front of her with brown and red as the main color, thinking that Winnie was attracted by the old things in the glass window. Just when she was about to say something, Winnie asked, "Can I go in and have a look?"

Selena raised her eyebrows, and was a little surprised that Winnie would ask to go in and have a look. However, in the past two or three years, Winnie has indeed changed a lot in a good direction, and she was about to agree. At the moment, Brett patted his chest hard suddenly, and interjected in an exaggerated tone: "Of course, but if you open your mouth, Dad will even pick the moon from the sky for you!"

Salina and Winnie: "…"

"Welcome." As soon as the door was opened and walked in, a welcome word floated in.

The owner of the antique shop is a very young woman with shoulder-length blond hair, wearing a long white shirt, a belt around her waist, and white sneakers, giving people a very sunny feeling.

There are many things in this antique shop, and each piece is very small and exquisite, just like every pocket watch in front of me, each with its own characteristics, Winnie watched them one by one, and when she was about to look away, she suddenly paused. After a pause, his eyes were fixed on the sterling silver pocket watch on the corner. It was a very ordinary pocket watch without too many engravings, and it was as heavy as other pocket silver in the hand. Special, the only difference is that there is a very special sentence engraved on the back of Huaiyin, seize the time (seize the time).

After a long time, when Winnie's family walked out of the antique shop, they also had a small paper bag in their hands.

Only four days have passed since the summer vacation. During these four days, Winnie lived a very leisurely life. In order to play with peace of mind when she arrived at Sherlock's house, Winnie spent a week and a half finishing all her homework. all done.

On the day of the official visit, Winnie's family got up early, had breakfast, and set off for Holmes' residence.

"Oh! Long time no see, Brett." Sigson Holmes hugged Brett first, and then went to Serena, "Mrs. Einstein is still as beautiful as ever."

"Thank you, you are as handsome and charming as ever." Salina showed a polite smile.

"Hello, Uncle Sigson." Winnie greeted Sigson politely. Seeing this, Sigson showed a satisfied smile to Winnie.

"I haven't seen you for a year, and Winnie seems to have grown taller."

"Yes, during this year, I have grown two centimeters taller." Winnie nodded, and then looked around playfully, as if looking for something. Seeing this, Sigson immediately knew that Wen Ni Ni was looking for his son, so the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Mycroft is out, and Sherlock...he should be reading upstairs."

"Can I go up and find him?" Sigson was tall, and Winnie had to raise her head high to see the other person's face.

"Of course." Siegson was also very happy that his youngest son had one or two friends. Although Winnie was relatively young, her EQ and IQ were better than those of ordinary people of the same age. In addition, he and Einstein The family has business contacts, so naturally they like to have more contact with each other.

Standing at the door of Sherlock's room, Winnie was a little nervous. She and Sherlock had only communicated by letters this year. Locke is 12 years old. I don't know what changes will happen to the other party in this year.

Winnie stretched out her hand, and when she was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened, and what appeared in front of her was a black shirt. When she looked up, the familiar face immediately came into view. Not much has changed in the past year, the same handsome appearance as before, the same black curly hair, the only difference is that he has grown taller again, and it has grown taller obviously.

Sherlock stared at Winnie, his gray eyes sized Winnie without hesitation, and said in a low cello-like voice, "Two centimeters."

Winnie paused, before Sherlock had time to react, Sherlock said again: "Excessive intake of powdered sugar will not make you grow taller, it will only make you fatter."

At this moment, Winnie finally understood what Sherlock meant, and held up Tony's heavy glasses at a loss. In her heart, Sherlock was not only a friend, but also a brother, and besides Albert Einstein Well, Sherlock is the second person she admires the most, and it is inevitable that she will be extra cautious in front of the person she admires.

Winnie's silence did not arouse Sherlock's dissatisfaction, he just turned around casually, walked into the room, and asked, "Tea?"

Holding the black tea in both hands, Winnie sat quietly on the soft sofa watching Sherlock playing the violin and listening to the intense and passionate music, she couldn't help sighing once again that Sherlock was indeed a genius.

For Sherlock, it is a very magical thing to keep Winnie in his safe range. This may be because the character of the other party is like water, faint and soft, and will not let him feel his own domain. Being invaded, he can do what he likes at will, just like now, he can think about the criminal mind and motives of the criminals based on the case he saw the day before yesterday.

This is also Sherlock's recent interest, yes, it is Criminal Minds, he is very interested in those known as the most difficult unsolved cases in history, such as Jack the Ripper, Cleveland's "headless" murderer and so on.

Cleveland's "Headless" Murderer, listed as one of the world's most famous murders, occurred between 1933 and 1937. The murderer killed two people at the same time for each crime, then chopped up their bodies and mixed them together , and took their heads at the end.

Sherlock knew that the prisoner must be a very strong guy, very likely without a wife or child, or a homosexual, but he was curious why the murderer stopped committing crimes after 1937. Is it really like the famous policeman at the time? Long Eliot Ness guessed, the murderer ended up in a mental hospital?

I don't know how long it took, when Sherlock put down the violin and withdrew his thoughts of committing the crime, he realized that Winnie fell asleep at some point. Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows, and fell asleep under such intense music , It seems that I am really tired.

Sherlock stared at Winnie's peaceful sleeping face, and noticed the faint dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that the little girl was either reading too late these days, or was catching up with her homework.

Winnie is too easy to see through, no matter in terms of living habits or personality, she is very simple and pure. However, such a simple and pure person hides a secret behind it, a secret that aroused Sherlock's interest from the very beginning.

Sherlock once investigated Winnie's family in private, and the information he got back was no different from ordinary people. He settled in London, his father was a businessman, and his mother was a housewife. Perfect, every item of information is very clear and detailed, there is no such perfect thing in this world, sometimes the more perfect it is, the more it seems to be covering up something.

More importantly, according to the private detective he found, Winnie was indeed studying in a private school for girls in Germany, and her classmates also knew Winnie, but if they asked more details, they found out that there was nothing wrong with Winnie. People have more contact with Winnie, as if they have only heard the name.

It was abnormal, but it was abnormal that made Sherlock amusing.
