[Comprehensive] Sherlock's Secret

"Oh..." Su Fu pulled up a chair and sat beside him, "This way—I will definitely bring your words with you, don't worry."

They talked a few more words, Lupine opened the door and came in, Su Fu and Dumbledore got up and left, it was just dawn at this time.

The air was dry and cold, and a layer of hoarfrost fell on the ground in the yard. Su Fu rubbed his hands and sighed: "This night was really tossing..."

"But somehow it worked," said Dumbledore, "didn't it?"

"That's right." Su Fu raised his eyebrows and looked at the distant mountains and the sky, "I'm going back. Sherlock must have a lot of questions waiting for me to explain to him."

"You were right." Dumbledore also looked into the distance with long and calm eyes. "Mr. Holmes is indeed an admirably smart young man. If I have the opportunity, I hope to get to know him."

Su Fu couldn't help laughing, she said: "Trust my professor, there will be such a day."

"I'm looking forward to it very much, but—" Dumbledore said with a smile in his voice, "I'm afraid you can't just go back like this. I forgot to tell you before that the minister asked you to help expel Hogwarts and Hogger together with Professor Flitwick. Maud dementors—”

Su Fu immediately retorted: "It's none of my business!"

Dumbledore reminded: "You are now the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, and you are obliged to serve the school."

Su Fu: "..."

Is it too late to regret now?

"I would say that the Ministry of Magic shouldn't let those dementors who are neither human nor ghosts guard Azkaban, and now it's hard to get them back every time they are brought out of Azkaban—" Professor Li Wei was sitting in the Three Broomsticks bar, holding a glass of brandy and complaining to Su Fu.

"I think so too," Su Fu lay on the bar, his tired eyes moved slowly following Ms. Rosmerta's movements, "I don't like them at all, it would be great if we could eliminate them all... "

Professor Flitwick was so startled by the last sentence that he almost fell off his chair.

"Don't think so! Don't try anything out of the blue—" He lowered his voice, but said in a sharp voice.

Su Fu: "...I'm just talking."

"This is the best!" He panted and took a sip of wine, "Dementors don't belong to the world, it's too late to avoid them..."

"Doesn't belong to the human world?" Su Fu asked in surprise, "Could it be that there is an underworld—"

When she said this, she spurned herself first, the world is so chaotic, even if there is the existence of King Yan, it is so strange.

Professor Flitwick smacked his lips and said, "The place where souls live, they call it the World of Souls..."

"It's really there..." Su Fu sighed, "That place is not a good place at first glance."

"That's the place people go to after they die. What's your evaluation as a living person?"

Su Fu nodded indiscriminately, noticing that his cell phone was vibrating, and went out to answer the call instead.

It was someone she hadn't expected on the phone.

"Adele?" Su Fu asked in surprise.

"Yeah - Sue, Sherlock has come to Bicester, why didn't you come?"

Su Fu smiled leisurely, it turned out that he went to Bicester.

So she said to Adele: "I'm on my way, and I'll be there soon."

"Ah," Adele exclaimed in surprise, "That's great, I'm going to tell Dad to kill a fresh sea fish!"

Su Fu reminded her: "Don't tell Sherlock that I also went to Bicester."

"Okay, okay," Adele said with a smile, "I know, it's a surprise—"

She said and hung up the phone, Su Fu immediately put the matter of the dementors behind her, said goodbye to Professor Flitwick, she looked up and drank the last sip of mead, and immediately apparated to Bis special.

The seaside town is much warmer than Hogsmeade. After she changed into her wizard robes, she didn't care whether she was wearing a coat or not, and she was not in a hurry to find Adele, so she wandered the streets casually for a while, and then Unknowingly, I walked to the Red Cherry Bar.

The place is exactly the same as when she first came here, except that the handsome guy singing flamenco on the stage was replaced by a long-haired girl playing the accordion. I feel like nodding to beat the beat.

She sat in exactly the same position as last time, and said to the bartender, "I want a glass of 'cherry'—no, two glasses."

Su Fu propped his chin and didn't answer, "How do you know I'm here?"

"Actually," Sherlock pulled the high chair beside her and sat down next to her, and said slowly, "I've followed you since you walked down Central Street."

Su Fu immediately turned his head and said, "Then why didn't you call me?"

Sherlock's eyes fell on the light red clear wine brought out by the bartender, and he said, "Then why didn't you let Adele tell me you came to Bicester?"

Su Fu snorted: "Adele, you little traitor!"

"Oh," he turned his head and smirked at her for a moment, and said, "I was by her side when she called."

Su Fu: "..."

"The evidence of Sirius Black's innocence was clearly obtained the day before yesterday, why did you come here today?"

Su Fu hugged his head and let out a long sigh: "I was arrested as a coolie—"

"Ok?"

She lowered her voice, lest anyone think she was mentally ill: "It would be a nightmare to send the school and Hogsmeade's dementors back to Azkaban."

Sherlock once learned the definition of a dementor from her mouth, and also remembered that she was really not in a good state when he called that time, so he was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "How is Sirius?"

Su Fu knew that he didn't really want to ask about Sirius' situation, but was just looking for something to say. She immediately replied very cooperatively: "It's not a big problem, but the official proof of that memory is still doubtful. Bullido is trying to find more evidence in his favor, and he vouched for Sirius to stay at the school."

"Peter didn't catch it in the end?"

Su Fu nodded, and sighed: "This is the most deceitful place, it just happens to be a full moon night these few days..."

"Too impulsive and reckless leads to too much deviation between the actual results and the expected results—"

"The characteristics of Gryffindor." Su Fu said.

Sherlock pushed the wine glass in front of him some distance away and asked, "What about Slytherin?"

"Sirius told you?"

"Obviously."

"Our general theory is..." Su Fu squinted his eyes subconsciously, "Slytherins are a group of overly shrewd and cautious guys. They pursue power and strength, and use any means to achieve their goals. There are conspirators, careerists, Freaks, blood theorists, etc... Throughout the ages, many famous dark wizards came from Slytherin."

"But," Sherlock looked at her, "I don't see the above qualities in you."

She laughed: "It's been too long... People change."

"I saw you went to the gift shop just now?"

"Yes, there is something I need to tell you," Su Fu said, "I promised Dumbledore to teach next semester, so I can't stay at home forever."

Sherlock frowned deeply, and he said, "When did you become interested in the profession of teaching again—"

"Because I have to prepare Sirius' trial materials and cooperate with the government investigation, it will be more convenient for me to stay in school, and Remus will definitely not be able to do it-you know the reason, Dumbledore can't find a more suitable one for a while. candidates."

"All kinds of irrelevant reasons—it's better to stay at home." Sherlock drew his voice, "Who will help me investigate the case after you leave? And your school doesn't have mobile phone signal!"

At this time, the bartender brother who had finished his work turned his head and whispered to Sherlock: "Dude, you are right, if it were me, I would not agree with my girlfriend to volunteer in a mountain area where there is no mobile phone signal. "

Su Fu just took a sip of the wine and almost spit it out.

God damn volunteer, why don't you talk about supporting education in mountainous areas.

"I've promised the headmaster," she said, "and you don't have to worry about—"

She leaned over and whispered in Sherlock's ear, "I can use Floo powder when I'm not busy, and I can go back anytime—"

She didn't finish speaking, because she leaned too far and accidentally fell out of the chair. Sherlock quickly reached out to catch her, and Su Fu wrapped his arms around his neck and said, "I might not be able to come back for Christmas." , so I'm giving you an early Christmas present—"

He looked down at her and asked, "That's why you went to the gift shop just now?"

"Huh, did you see it?" Su Fu sat up straight, took out a rectangular box and handed it to him, blinking and said, "Happy New Year?"

The corner of the bartender's mouth twitched, you're too early, aren't you?

Sherlock took it, turned it around in his hand, and put it in his pocket noncommittally.

She continued: "Speaking of which, you came to Bicester for Daniel Eskes?"

"Mycroft is here too," Sherlock said, "He's looking for Esikes, not me."

Su Fu turned his head to look at him, and he explained everything as usual, including the clues provided by the man named M, the parchment list that Sirius held in his hand as the door key, and the one provided by Lilian Iris Clues, and the little girl in the nursing home with a strange disease.

"Actually, we not only met Lodia," Su Fu said regretfully, shaking his head, "I also met Eskes, in this bar, at this location."

Sherlock thought for a while, and said, "Adele's party?"

"Yes—" Su Fu squinted at the white fence outside the window and recalled, "But none of us realized at the time... I just thought Esikes was a weirdo, but that day——"

She stopped and sighed, "Let's talk over there."

She pulled Sherlock and sat on a small table by the window. Through the crack of the window, she could see a bicycle parked on the side of the road outside the bar. A freckled child ran over sneakily, with great effort. I climbed on the bicycle and prepared to ride away, but just after riding crookedly for less than two meters, my mother who rushed over scolded me and grabbed my ear and lifted it off.

After the mother and son, who were fighting wits and courage, were far away, Su Fu smiled and said: "Children are really worrying, but..."

Sherlock said unceremoniously: "But you are about to face a group of little devils, and you need to teach them knowledge patiently."
