[Shen Xia + HP] In the name of a detective

Going out from the back door, there is a small garden outside, but because it is winter, there is nothing growing in the ground.But Aurora could imagine that if it was spring now, the garden would be full of flowers and other kinds of fruits and vegetables.

"What did my mother tell you?" Sherlock closed the back door and sat on the steps. Although he pretended to be indifferent to this matter and just asked casually, the slight smile on the corner of his mouth still exposed him. Thoughts at the moment.

Aurora remembered what the old Mrs. Holmes had said to herself, pursed her lips, looked a little unnatural, followed suit and sat on the steps, and replied perfunctorily, "I didn't say anything."

Sherlock was obviously not satisfied with the answer, turned his head to look at Aurora, frowned, and said nothing.

Aurora knew that she couldn't be perfunctory, so she rolled her eyes silently in her heart, and planned to use offense as defense, and diverted the topic to another direction: "She said something about your childhood, and I heard that you liked it very much before the age of three. Following Mr. Holmes..."

At this point, she realized that her address seemed inappropriate, and immediately changed her words: "I mean, I heard that you liked to follow Mycroft very much before you were three years old, and you stayed with Mycroft for a while, even before you went to school. Thinking that everyone in the world is as smart as your family."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

Aurora saw that Sherlock didn't believe her, but what she said was indeed the truth, but not all of it. She knew that Sherlock would react like this, and she had already prepared countermeasures. She imitated his tone Lianzhupao said in a breath: "The eyeballs are facing downwards, biting the lips before speaking, and the facial muscles are tense, which shows that this person is lying. This is what you said at the time. But you also saw that I didn't have such a reaction, so I didn't lie to you."

Sherlock spit out a sentence succinctly: "More than that."

He answered incoherently, but Aurora understood what he meant. Of course, she did not lie to him, but these were not all that old Mrs. Holmes told her.She didn't say the last few most important words, but how did Sherlock know?

At that time, the old Sherlock Holmes and his wife spoke so sincerely. Of course, as a guest, Aurora was too embarrassed to refuse directly. Facing the extremely expectant gazes of the two old people, she even looked back at the distance between Sherlock and them. , thinking that he must not be able to hear what they were saying, and finally shook his head in hesitation.

Aurora looked at Sherlock with puzzled eyes, but thought of something in the next second, knocked her forehead, remorseful as if she was blaming herself for not thinking of this earlier, and said to herself: "Oh , By the way, you can read lips, you told me."

Sherlock first imitated the old Mr. Holmes, staring at Aurora's bright eyes and her somewhat guilty expression, and imitated with earnestness: "Xia Li was not very good at interacting with others when he was a child. When he was in school, no matter the teacher The classmates still don’t like him, and even now there are not many friends who can talk to him, so I ask Aurora to tolerate him more in the future.”

Then he played the two roles one by one, jumped out of the state immediately after speaking, and started to play the old Mrs. Holmes again in a second, showing the combination of strength and kindness on the face, the performance was vivid, and the tone was also learned vividly : "Don't listen to what this old man said. If Xia Li dares to bully you, you can beat and scold him as you want. If it doesn't work, you can come and tell me, and I will deal with him."

Aurora suddenly felt ashamed, and lowered her head to look at the ground, wishing she could find a crack in the ground.Then she found that there was really a crack in the ground next to the steps, and there were many ants crawling beside it, so she began to count the ants seriously to ease the embarrassment.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Sherlock stared blankly at the ant nest on the ground, and moved his lips, as if he was silently counting how many ants there were. He pursed his lips, feeling a little helpless for the first time, and asked : "I see you nodded."

"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen..." Aurora heard Sherlock's question, subconsciously said "Oh", admitted that she had indeed nodded at that time, and then began to count in a low voice. "Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen..."

"So you agreed to both of them." Seeing that Aurora still didn't respond, Sherlock finally became a little impatient, and asked, "Do you know what you promised?"

Aurora heard that Sherlock had already asked this question, so she couldn't pretend to be stupid and refused to answer. Finally, she raised her head and stopped looking at the small crack in the ground where the ants came and went. Landing on Sherlock next to him, biting his lower lip in embarrassment, he replied in a very low and hoarse voice: "I know."

Sherlock's gray-blue eyes became deeper than usual, staring unwaveringly at the slight blush on Aurora's cheeks, with his usual calm expression, as if the person in front of him had nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter, but Aurora can see the difference in his eyes.

"Including Fole... Mycroft offered to invite me here for Christmas, and what my brother said to him about the reason for going on business, I can guess." Aurora turned to Sherlock. A signature white eye, as if complaining that he thinks himself so stupid that he thinks he knows everything.

"So you accepted?" Sherlock naturally didn't think Aurora was stupid. On the contrary, when he first met her, he thought she was a Scotland Yard police detective with a low IQ who could still follow his train of thought. He also surpassed him in solving the case, although there was a bit of opportunism in it.He didn't think she was stupid, he just wanted to confirm it a few more times.

"Yes, I accept." Now that this point has been said, Aurora has no embarrassment and replied frankly.

However, Sherlock looked at her with a half-smile, which made Aurora feel her cheeks burning again, so she decided to say something to adjust the atmosphere, changed the subject calmly, and asked jokingly: "Is it you?" You already know my identity and secrets, and you are still so calm. Magic is against the science you have always believed in. Is your world view still safe?"

Sherlock was much calmer than Aurora imagined, and she uttered a wise saying that she has never forgotten in her whole life: "Eliminate all the impossible, and what remains, no matter how unreasonable, must be the truth .If you want to explain all the doubts about you, this is probably the only explanation that makes sense."

"And during the time you disappeared, I really hope that the science I have been insisting on is wrong." Sherlock's thin and thick eyelashes drooped, and he said slowly.

Aurora didn't expect him to say that, she was surprised but also moved.You must know that Sherlock has always believed in "science is paramount", but now he said that during the period when her life and death were unknown, he secretly hoped that what he insisted on was wrong, so that Aurora would at least have a chance of survival .

Sherlock helped Scotland Yard to investigate the case, never to maintain social order, ensure the personal safety of the people, punish illegal and criminal activities, but simply get excited when encountering a case, and want to compete with the murderer behind the case. Finally found out the truth.He didn't pay much attention to human life, and sometimes secretly hoped that there would be more serial murders in London, so that at least he wouldn't be so boring.

But Sherlock hopes that Aurora can live, even if he gives up his belief all the time, he also hopes that Aurora can survive with a glimmer of hope.

Aurora had to admit that she was so slightly touched that she couldn't help lowering her head lower, trying to hide her red eyes and forcibly suppressed tears, she also teased: "I thought You will tie me up and take me to the hospital for an autopsy."

Shrugging, Sherlock suddenly put on a straight face, and said in an irrefutable tone: "By the way, Aurora, accompany me to Butts Hospital tomorrow."

Aurora knew that Sherlock would not really take her to the hospital for autopsy, but she still pretended to be flustered, pouted her lips and raised her head back, as if trying to distance herself from him as much as possible, and expressed doubts. Looking at him, he said, "You don't really want to send me to the hospital for an autopsy?"

Naturally, Sherlock also knew that Aurora was faking it, but he still cooperated to not expose it. He raised his hand and tapped her forehead, and raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What are you thinking?"

Aurora couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. It seems that she hasn't seen him for a while, and Sherlock's EQ has skyrocketed.If it was before, she dared to bet ten Galleons, Sherlock would not be able to tell that she was joking, and would not hesitate to say that she was lying, and expose it.

"But I still have to say that you didn't really think that I would send you to the hospital. You were faking it. It can be seen from the stiffness of your facial muscles and the curvature of the corners of your mouth. Every time you lie It's all the same, it hasn't changed since I met you..." Although Sherlock understood that Aurora was joking, it didn't help. Emoticons, and later extended to the expressions commonly used by humans when lying.

Did anyone feel that Sherlock's EQ has skyrocketed just now?Aurora would not admit it.Now she has black lines all over her face. While feeling that she was really being slapped in the face, she listened carefully to Sherlock's analysis, and carefully remembered the expressions she often made when she lied, and tried to avoid it when she lied to him in the future.

"Charlie! Aurora! I just made a snack, come in and have a taste!" Mrs. Holmes' voice came from the house, and Aurora felt that the decibel was definitely comparable to Mrs. Hudson's clear soprano. spell.

"Let's go." Sherlock stood up from the steps, stretched out his hand to pull Aurora up, and didn't let go of her hand until he walked into the back door.
