[Comprehensive] Sherlock's Secret

The entire "interview" with Ms. Gross was led by Sherlock. When Ms. Gross asked why Miss Shell did not speak, Sherlock shrugged and explained: "Miss Shell is a creator, and she likes to listen. Stimulate her mind."

Su Fu: "..."

Ms. Gross smiled kindly: "Genius is always different."

Su Fu swears that when Ms. Gross said this, she saw a flash of disdain on Sherlock's face!

"So can you tell us the story of the children next? You know—sometimes naughty little ghosts are always so cute and hated."

Su Fu felt that he had finally seen it today. If Sherlock was not a consulting detective, he could go to any opera house in the West District to be an actor.

Ms. Gross showed a look of reminiscence: "I have taken care of many children, but each of them is deeply impressive, and I will never forget it in my life. I remember the first child I took over when I first went to the orphanage. His name is Sherlock. ..."

Su Fu was hahahahahaha in his heart, then raised his head and mouthed to Sherlock: "Shy—lo-ck!"

Unmoved, Sherlock continued to "listen carefully".

He spoke from time to time, calmly leading Ms. Grose's conversation to the details he wanted to know.

"—Oh yes, John is a very naughty kid. He often breaks the glass in the dormitory. It doesn't matter how much you scold him. My God, that's the most naughty kid I've ever seen. Harry is also, he and John is a good friend, these two bad guys, they have several buddies, I remember Wright, Wright Vinson, this kid is relatively well-behaved, but in the end he was almost spoiled by the two of them, boys always like to get married In one or two small groups, they are so naughty when they are naughty..."

"You must have educated them a lot, haven't you?"

"Of course... some of these kids - like John and Harry - were picked up from the homeless pile. It's only natural for them to have some bad habits. It's obviously not that easy, and they often bully weak children, which is really a headache."

"Children who are bullied must be very sad..."

"Hey—they were not sensible at that time, and Perth was also timid, and they didn't dare to tell us when they were bullied—"

"Perth?"

"Oh yes, Perth Collier, a timid little boy, he left at the age of 14, to be honest, I always thought he was a girl character..."

"OK——Ms. Gross, I'm here today. Obviously, Miss Shell is very tired. She is always not suitable for thinking for a long time. After all, you know—genius is always so different."

As Sherlock said, he picked up Su Fu, said "goodbye" hastily, and strode out the door.

He had long legs and walked fast, and Su Fu had to trot to keep up with him, and he was holding his hand, so Su Fu felt like Sherlock dragging a plastic bag without autonomy.

"Perth Collier," Sherlock repeated the name, "an orphan boy who was bullied from a young age, and who may have endured it for years. Ms. Gross knew, but didn't care, and thought it was just The children's squabbling—"

"Silent and timid children are generally not lovable," Su Fu said indifferently, "Just like Perth Collier, adults prefer lively and bright children, even if they are mischievous, arrogant, clever, and self-righteous."

"Fingers curled up, clasping the corner of the pocket, this is your usual stress response action, but there is no sudden incident now, so it is words? What you said just now—"

"We are talking of Perth Collier, Mr. Holmes."

"Well, Perth Collier," Sherlock shrugged, "we should at least find him by now—"

"Call Inspector Lestrade for help?"

"No, we don't need to deliberately look for him..." Sherlock suddenly stopped and looked at the advertising wall next to him.

"Huh?" Su Fu followed her gaze. There was a poster on the advertising wall, which said "Big Circus——The Most Thrilling Experience". There were several performers' names on the poster. Perth Collier is on the list.

There are also scenes of live performances, a lion jumping through a fiery hoop, a monkey climbing a long ladder, and... a giant boa constrictor coiled on a rope.

She carefully identified the address and booking phone number under the poster, and muttered: "I'll call and book tickets right away, and I should still be able to make it to the afternoon show..."

As a result, as soon as she took out her mobile phone, Sherlock took out two colorful papers from the windbreaker pocket and flashed them in front of her eyes.

"When did you get it?"

Sherlock stuffed one of them into her hand: "Ordered yesterday, delivered this morning."

Su Fu held the thin circus ticket, took a deep breath, and asked, "So you locked on Perth Collier yesterday—or earlier?"

Sherlock stared at the passing traffic on the road, and said absent-mindedly: "It's not easy, Sue, I thought you would think of it, but obviously I overestimated you... Didn't you already guess that a snake crawled in the water pipe? What's the matter?" Would a person carry a boa constrictor several meters long and have the ability to drive it to kill people?"

"So, the visit to Ms. Gross just now was just to confirm Collier's identity?"

"I just don't understand why he wants to kill..."

As he spoke, he hailed a taxi, and stooped into the car first. Su Fu put the circus ticket in his pocket, and got into the car as well.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the small square of Apolis. A large colorful tent was set up in the middle of the square. Small red, yellow, blue and green flags were hung on the tethers, and a huge billboard was erected at the entrance of the tent, with the words The poster that Su Fu saw just now.

There was still more than an hour before the performance in the afternoon, so almost no one came over. Sherlock put his hands in the windbreaker pockets and walked straight to the door of the tent. When he was about to walk, he suddenly stretched out his right hand to hold Su Fu's. Su Fu rolled his eyes: "Am I your ever-changing performance prop?"

"Props..." Sherlock snorted, "I thought you defined yourself as a human being anyway."

Before they finished speaking, they were stopped by the staff at the door: "Sorry, you can't enter now!"

Sherlock dragged Su Fu to pull her towards him, and said with a bit of annoyance: "Can't go in? My God, what are you talking about? My girlfriend and I are here to see the show," he said deliberately pulling out The show ticket shook in front of that person, and said domineeringly, "Did you see, VIP box, are you sure you want to stop me? If you ruin my date, I will definitely not let you go!"

Su Fu: Damn... I really believed in your evil.

The author has something to say: Let me tell you something, take it as a joke, the editor suddenly poked at me and said that my contract had not been reviewed because the certificate was invalid, so I took out my ID card and looked at it, just after I sent it The day after the contract was issued, my resident ID card expired... expired..., I may be a fake Chinese citizen...

Life is really full of excitement, people are caught off guard and get dumped. ORZ
