My Detective Roommate [Sherlock Holmes]

This is a large and bright house. Although the night is coming, it is not difficult for Adlia to discern some traces of spring in it, which makes her feel a little excited. She subconsciously wants to tug the sleeves of the people around her, but she is looking For a moment, he silently retracted his hand.

After entering the house, Brenda's two older brothers, Owen and George, warmly welcomed them, especially George's unusual excitement after hearing that Sherlock was a detective.

"I think I must have seen your name in the papers," he said, squeezing Sherlock's hand tightly. "I've always cared about the names of detectives in newspapers, and I've always felt that Scotland Yard played little role in these cases." .”

Even Sherlock, who didn't like Scotland Yard, couldn't help laughing: "They also played their role."

And saved some face for his colleagues.

Adelia couldn't help but cast a mocking look at the detective, who looked back helplessly.

It is rare for Adlia to find a family feeling here. After dinner, several people gathered around the fireplace to chat. The weather is not too cold, and the fire in the fireplace is not too strong. Just to add some warm winter vibes.

Maybe Brenda said something to his brothers. Owen and George didn't ask Adlia's story or future plans very much, but only talked about news or anecdotes in the newspaper.

"Gentlemen—" George, who had had a little wine, got a little excited, but he was interrupted by his sister as soon as he started singing.

"Please don't ignore the ladies."

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, how about we play bingo?" George raised his glass.

Brenda obviously didn't like the game: "Oh my dear George, please don't bring your bar habits into your house."

Owen supported his forehead and smiled: "You might as well go back to your room and sleep, my brother."

Adelia sat next to Brenda and couldn't help but laugh at the poor brother.George, who was rejected miserably, curled his lips, and sat back on the sofa next to Holmes. Looking at the detective, he had another idea: "Or a quiz game! I have an encyclopedia of cold knowledge."

He stood up again, put the cup away casually, and searched for a long time on the bookshelf.

"Ah, I found it," he showed them, flicking the spine. "It's an interesting book."

Brenda and Owen were willing to accept this game, and Adlia and Sherlock quickly expressed no objection.

"Then George, are you in charge of being the referee?" Although Brenda is the youngest sister, the two elder brothers obviously dote on her. She directly ordered a referee, "After all, you have seen it all."

"No problem." George answered loudly like a host, then frowned and started to turn the pages.

"Ah, the first question is for our guest, Dr. Hudson," he said enthusiastically, "Why do you bark when you're hungry? Options——"

Adelia didn't take an active part in it at first, but they got all the points in front of her eyes. The former king of papers never lost the free points: "The gastrointestinal peristalsis caused the sound of gas and liquid mixing."

When she said the onomatopoeia "gulu gulu" the room burst into laughter, and even the detective couldn't help giving him a smiley look.

"Okay, one point for the doctor--this point is for you," George turned the page again, "then it's fair game."

From the highest mountain peak to the largest ocean, to weird questions such as "Can a crocodile stick out its tongue" and "How many times can a paper be folded in half", these Tregennis are not good at it, but the answers they give are quite fascinating Laughing, but active atmosphere.

Adelia didn't speak much at first, just looked at them with a smile, but after Sherlock gained the upper hand, she had a weird desire to win again.

It seems that her knowledge is comparable to that of the great detective in this book?She couldn't help but be eager to try.

"The first president of the United States?"

"Washington," she said almost before he finished speaking.

"Who has a higher body temperature, adult men or women?"

"female."

"Is it safer to jump forward or backward from the train—"

"Backwards, obviously."

Sherlock suddenly realized that his friend might be targeting him. He looked over subconsciously. His friend was sitting next to Brenda. After noticing the look in his eyes, he raised one eyebrow lazily. expression, and even a little smirk.He had never seen a friend like this before, and he almost laughed out loud.

"Are you targeting me, Adrian." He deliberately made his words sound provocative.

Brenda also noticed this: "I'm afraid Owen and I will have a hard time fighting against two well-educated graduates from prestigious schools. Why don't we start over in groups?"

Adelia put down her glass and took a moment to say, "I have no objection."

Sherlock patted Owen next to him: "Well, I'm afraid I need your help to answer."

"If we really want to compete, then let's be more rigorous." George also became excited, "It's not fair to our ladies to raise our hands. Let's take turns to answer. If you are right, you will gain points and if you are wrong, you will be deducted. Can you accept it? "

Brenda rolled her eyes: "Then we'll have to win some prizes."

Owen was also very excited: "If Holmes wins, will you take yours home?"

Brenda didn't refuse: "Hudson, you won't let me lose, will you?"

Adelia smiled, somewhat confidently: "Who do you think will win, don't you remember Mr. Holmes from the Sun Center?"

"That's not necessarily true." Sherlock shook his head and smiled helplessly, "You are too confident, Adrian, this is not in line with your usual habits."

"I won, and the pipe was confiscated." Adelia put down her wine glass, obviously wanting to concentrate.

Brenda touched Adlia's left shoulder: "You can fight—"

Then she said to her brother: "If Adrian wins, and Mortimer comes home tomorrow, you must not show your face!"

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Owen's face changed at that time, but he quickly returned to the same as before: "Hi, Holmes, what do you want?"

"I have a question. My friend hasn't given me an answer. Let me know if I win?" He said slowly, with the same determination on his face.

Adelia didn't understand what he said, but she hesitated for a moment and didn't object.

"You are too boring, Mr. Holmes." Owen shook his head exaggeratedly.

Ke Sherlock said: "For a detective, the answer is the best reward."

George turned the page: "Okay, then our intense quiz begins—according to the initials, Adrian Hudson answers the question first, which famous person came from 'I think, therefore I am'?"

"Descartes." Adelia replied quickly.

"One point for Hudson," he gestured, "and Mr. Holmes, what is the largest pyramid?"

"The Pyramid of Khufu."

The competition went on round after round. To Adlia's surprise, Mr. Detective, who claimed that he was not interested in knowledge other than detective science, secretly learned a lot of cold knowledge behind her back. It's exhausting.However, this kind of difficulty made her concentrate, appear lively, and even added a lot of witty words.

"Mr. Detective with an attic-like brain, where is this knowledge point in your brain?"

"Although it was placed in the deepest part of the drawer, fortunately I was able to dig it out."

"Adrian, I am sure there is no way for you to be a biographer."

"What I want to write is biography, not poetry. If you want to be the hero of a novel full of Shakespeare and Goethe, I will definitely find a way to enrich the rhetoric."

"Aren't you not interested in knowledge other than detective science? How come the yearbook has several editions that are also detective science?"

"Yes, you are a little ignorant."

The two people came and went, which caused a lot of laughter.

"Okay, you guys are tied, and there's another one at the end?" George turned to the last page of the book, "Whoever says the answer first wins?"

"Of course, there is always a winner in the game." Sherlock said.

Adelia has no objection.

George closed the book with a snap: "Then the last question—when did you meet?"

ha?

Adelia didn't react for a moment.

"May 5," Sherlock said quickly, "I went to 21B to sign the contract that day."

"A cold trivia contest?" Adelia asked in disbelief.

"It seems that you don't know, so it is indeed cold knowledge." Sherlock couldn't help laughing.

George winked at Brenda: "It seems that we are not destined to live in peace with Mortimer."

Adelia never expected that she would be defeated here. This challenged the dignity of the king of rolls, but asking them to restart the game seemed a little petty and she couldn't afford to lose, so she could only silently grow up in her heart. Sulked for a while.

The housekeeper and chef, Mrs. Potter, came in with a smile and added firewood for them: "Gentlemen, I have to remind you that it's time to go to bed."

Adelia looked up, only to find that it was past ten o'clock, and it was already too late for her and Sherlock to go back.While she was hesitating, Brenda took the initiative to ask her to stay.

"Please be sure to stay and rest for the night," Brenda took her arm, "I specially asked Mrs. Potter to tidy up a guest room for you."

She winked playfully at Mrs Potter.

"One room?" She couldn't help but looked at Brenda in surprise, but Brenda clearly knew——

Brenda grinned and said, "Of course, one is also prepared for Mr. Holmes."

Well, fortunately, Brenda wasn't one to pretend to be smart.

Although it was a "lose", the two did not have much chance to talk about any issues.The two were led into their respective guest rooms.

After Adelia washed, she heard someone knock on the door. She habitually thought it was Sherlock, but it was Brenda who opened the door.

"I think it's not convenient for you to come in at this point in time." She had a headache.

"But you and I both know—" Brenda said in a hurry.

"Tregnis," she said, stopping the other's approach, "I mean that's crossing the line."

"I beg you—just this once," she said with earnest eyes and earnest words, "I promise not to exceed half an hour."

Adelia watched her silently, but the lovely lady was clearly not prepared to back down.

"15 minutes, ma'am, I suggest you think about what you're going to say first."

On the opposite side of the room, Sherlock, who was about to open the door, silently put his hand down.

The author says:

With Brenda doing this, Lao Fu is closer to the answer.

In fact, Lao Fu had already thought about that, but out of respect for his friend's privacy, he deliberately didn't think about it.It can be noticed that after the [Heart Knot] chapter, Lao Fu has reduced his exploration, and the heroine has begun to speak out on his own initiative.It's a process.

Then thank you all for the mine comments!Do you feel that I have been particularly supportive recently!
