[Sherlock Holmes + Shenxia] Mirror Theory

Sherlock Holmes' friendship with Shirley Lee soon began with gossip.

Not even the most prestigious institution can stop students from devoting their time and energy to gossip, even if they have a paper due a week.Fortunately, both Sherlock and Li Mingye are studying at Jesus College. The advantage of having more science and engineering students is that there are relatively few people who love to socialize, so they are at least quiet.

Someone did approach the small duo with ill intentions at first, but Sherlock's power is boundless-no one likes the same person who can tell you were in bar 419 last night by the ketchup on your clothes. people talk!

But what they don't know is that sometimes the atmosphere between Sherlock and Li Mingye can be called tense—

"you are wrong."

"I do not have."

"you are wrong!"

"I do not have!"

"Shut up, Sherlock! You are wrong! Your observation is not careful. This photo was definitely not taken in Zimbabwe. There are too many caterpillars in the world. You should take a look here." Li Ming Ye pointed to a small corner of the photo—to be honest, it was really inconspicuous, especially since this photo was just a souvenir photo of a tourist, and about three quarters of the photo were taken by tourists figure.

As for the so-called butterfly insects... Oh, this is one of the backgrounds of the photo, a black young man is leisurely passing by chewing on the sun-tanned dried caterpillars.Sherlock caught this right away, claiming the photo was taken in Zimbabwe, before refusing to take a second look.

"Here, the mirror of the car, do you see it?"

"What? Oh... well, I was wrong." Sherlock curled his lips unwillingly, and the mirror showed another passerby who was not captured in the camera. After careful observation, Sherlock found that the passerby was holding a glass A paper cup with the words Chobe National Park on it. "Then this photo was taken in Botswana."

"Forget it, this question is indeed a little difficult." Li Mingye also restrained his aura, and his stern expression softened, "After all, these two countries are too close to each other, you can no longer infer by observing the vegetation, and the photos There are no buildings in the center, and there are very few things to study. But I personally think that if you want to be a consulting detective, you must have the patience of a hound and the care of a spider."

Yes, consult a detective.

The young Sherlock found his hobby more quickly than the old detectives hundreds of years ago. The difference is that the old Sherlock was inspired by the old Mr. Trevor to be passionate about the detective career, while the young Mr. Holmes spontaneously Became interested in detective career.

This was due to a theft that happened in Oxford some time ago, and the poor victim was Li Mingye, and the lost property was really not that decent—Li Mingye lost three sets of lingerie and a pair of expensive high heels.

Li Mingye could be said to be in a rage (from shame to anger)—I have to admit that after she became an Oxford student again, she was a lot lazy, and her desire for new knowledge in a whole new world took over her. Her overly smart brain made her lose a lot of vigilance.

And after losing her underwear—oh, let’s forgive Miss Shirley Lee, who used to be an old-fashioned big man, after all, she has never experienced such an embarrassing thing—in short, Li Mingye was completely overwhelmed by this vicious thief. Get mad!The furious former Miss Consulting Detective began to investigate the scene with unprecedented enthusiasm after the police arrived. Perhaps she did not have such an inevitable determination to treat Mr. Moriarty back then.

As a single dormitory at the scene, it is really horrible.A mess of textbooks was spread out on the floor, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, the window glass was broken, and the music stand was tilted aside.Sherlock, who was invited to help, smelled a stench as soon as he entered the door, but Li Mingye walked towards the bedroom without blinking, as if his sense of smell had failed.

As soon as the bedroom door was opened, the source of the smell was immediately in front of their eyes - a single bed that should have been very clean and comfortable, but now the messy sheets were covered with excrement.The most disgusting thing is that the feces seem to have been rubbed away as hard as possible, causing the soft Egyptian quilt to be covered with a layer of dark brown, and it is emitting a disgusting smell endlessly.

Li Mingye's expression became more and more terrifying, and the cold anger made her piercing eyes even brighter.She breathed slowly, as if she was carefully distinguishing the breath in the air, then she turned her head suddenly, strode towards the closet and pulled it open—the closet was another hell on earth!Those expensive and comfortable clothes smelled like urine. Li Mingye watched all this in silence. After a long while, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"What grudge does this thief have against you?" Sherlock scanned the room with a look of disgust on his face.It can be said that this is a simple and rough messy scene, which fully demonstrates the low IQ and low execution ability of the criminal suspect. In fact, if the janitor responsible for taking care of Li Mingye forgot to lock the door of the dormitory, the dormitory might not even be used. suffer such a tragic fate.

But this shit-pissing... Sherlock frowned and turned to observe the footprints on the floor.

Li Mingye glanced at Sherlock. At this moment, she was impatient to inspire this immature Mr. Holmes to think step by step.She walked quickly to the window and looked down, her eyes paused for a moment on the water pipe beside her, and then fell on the lawn below.

According to the classmate who reported the case, he passed by the bottom of the dormitory and saw a beautiful new high-heeled shoe on the lawn. After he walked over to pick up the high-heeled shoe and looked up and saw the broken glass window, he realized something was wrong and wanted to go up and take a look. , only to find that the door of this dormitory was open, and it smelled bad.

When the little policeman on the side was holding his nose and registering the lost property, Li Mingye already had the answer.She took Sherlock's arm and walked out and said to the police: "The criminal is a young man with a thin figure and pale skin. He should not be more than 30 years old. He is a local citizen with fetishes and serious mental illness. Causes him to behave very clumsily. No military service, should be living on government dole and some odd jobs at the moment, probably just doing something as simple as a janitor in college because the most he has is high school. By the way, this guy should Lips are bright red or blistered, and she has some stomach problems recently."

The little policeman blinked his eyes and was stunned, and the surrounding crowd was silent for a moment. Finally, amidst the explosion of discussions, the little policeman couldn't help stopping the two of them, and stammered and asked, "Can...can you explain? Is there anything you suspect?"

Li Mingye frowned and glanced at Sherlock.In Li Mingye's narration just now, the latter's complexion has been fluctuating with the content. After she finished speaking, her face has returned to a calm expression, but her eyes are surprisingly bright, and she is always watching Li Mingye's face.

"I don't need her to explain, let me tell you. This is an obvious conclusion, and I just saw everything, but I couldn't connect it for a while. This should be because I haven't undergone systematic training, but if I think about it for a while, I will You should also get the same answer..." Sherlock began to think again as he spoke, until Li Mingye patted his arm, and then he let out a "huh" as if he had just woken up from a dream, and his face instantly changed. His expression became very impatient again.

"Peeping in the closet, excreting on the bed, obvious fetish. The scene was messy, the very light hazel on the ground was actually the feces stained on the soles of the criminal's shoes, and he didn't wipe anything, obviously in a trance. But even in the moment of trance, he still carried out the theft so quickly that no one in the dormitory building where people would come at any time witnessed the crime. It can be seen that this person is not under the hallucinations caused by drug use, but has mental illness. Mental Illness usually leads to loss of appetite and malnutrition, which is why the criminal is thin and pale. The criminal is physically and mentally disordered and malnourished, so he can only hold very simple jobs, and such a mentally ill patient with extremely low IQ, He was able to successfully sneak into the dormitory inside the college. Obviously, he was working in the college, and he was doing some work that did not require IQ. As for the bright red lips or foaming, it was because the criminal's urine was extremely yellow and smelled strong. The gastrointestinal disease is caused by the criminal's feces being watery. These are obvious clues, so why can't you deduce it after you get the answer, and you have to be told the whole thinking process before you can understand?"

……

All in all, the theft ended very quickly, and the thief, Mr. Garritch Washington, had not even had time to use the underwear he had just stolen when he was arrested.But unfortunately, as a cleaner of Jesus College, all the assets of Mr. Gary Washington could not compensate Li Mingye for the loss.Mr. Washington received government relief money when he was a cleaner, and occasionally got some money from his parents, but unfortunately, Mr. Washington had a small hobby of alcoholism, which made him almost penniless.

As for Li Mingye - although she is not obsessed with cleanliness, she still decided to hire a cleaning company to do a thorough cleaning of the room, especially the entire bedroom.Fortunately, Li's parents are successful enough businessmen, and Li Weiwei's salary and gray income are also very considerable, but the flow of funds still attracted Li Weiwei's attention, but after knowing the ins and outs, Li Weiwei obviously sympathized with his sister, and said A large sum of money was added.

"A decent lady should have plenty of clothes to wash, Shirley dear. Your taste is not very good, but our mother stepped in to help. She wrote you an order, and you It is necessary to carry out an activity that every woman will feel comfortable physically and mentally - shopping." This is Li Weiyi who tried his best to hide his gloating tone.

Li Mingye hung up the phone with a dark face.

This theft case enriched Li Mingye's wardrobe, entertained Li's only spare time life, and at the same time inspired Sherlock's new ideas.As a smart person, Sherlock has been filling his brain with knowledge before, and he has an almost fanatical urge to learn all practical knowledge, even though he has never known what use these wisdom will come in handy in the end.

But now he knows.

The simple theft case committed by a mental patient actually used the knowledge of psychology, pathology, logic, and traces, and also perfectly blended these knowledge together.Is there anything more fun in this world than this?

Sherlock decided that he wanted to be a detective almost without hesitation.

The most powerful thing about a smart person is the ability to learn, so he quickly learned how to integrate the knowledge he had learned almost without thinking, and successfully organized and renovated his thinking palace.But within a few months Sherlock got bored - he learned so fast!

What could there be in a university that calls for a detective?

It's all trivial and shitty things!

Look for this classmate's lost paper today (mostly it was forgotten in a corner), and tomorrow I will help to observe whether that classmate's boyfriend/girlfriend is cheating...

Sherlock still needs to observe or think carefully at first, but soon he can almost get the answer at a glance.For Sherlock, things just got boring again.

Thanks to Li Mingye for lending a helping hand in time - after the theft, Li Mingye deliberately let go of his arrogance and established some friendship with the little policeman. Of course, the name of the little policeman is also one of the reasons why Li Mingye was willing to make friends with him in the end .

The policeman's name was Tebiaus Gleeson.

Li Mingye was dazed for two seconds after hearing this name, almost to the point of being noticed.She sized up the little policeman carefully with her unique penetrating deep eyes, until the other party began to feel embarrassed, and then began to speak with her soft sigh-like tone.

Regardless of how the little policeman unknowingly stripped away all his old backgrounds without knowing it, anyway, Mr. Gleason almost regarded Li Mingye as his best friend.He admired Li Mingye's intelligence very much, lamented Li Mingye's profound knowledge, and praised Li Mingye with trembling voices.And Li Mingye also smiled gently, and at the same time pointed out how to gain the upper hand in the office struggle, so that the other party would not come out to deal with this kind of theft in the future.

This Gleason is so different from the previous Gleason...so is it still a gender difference?We must know that when Sherlock Holmes met Gleason in the previous life, he also showed his "intelligence" and "profound knowledge", but at that time, Gleason reprimanded her almost vigilantly and told her to " Don't use her magic again!"

Knowing a policeman who was already alert and quick-witted was obviously beneficial to Li Mingye and Sherlock.After Gleason broke away from the cynical second term under Li Mingye's guidance, the original intelligence in his mind was stimulated, and soon Gleason's status in the office skyrocketed.Moreover, Mr. Grayson often began to tell Li Mingye about the cases he encountered all day long, and came to listen to Li Mingye's opinions.

Li Mingye threw all these matters to Sherlock without hesitation.

Because Gleeson can be called smart among normal people, the cases that he finds a bit difficult are usually not that difficult.Ordinary people often use the wisdom that they can hardly burst out again in their lives to get rid of their crimes, and the things that happen in the middle are all kinds of strange things.For example, a gentleman reported that his wife was missing, but the police found out that the gentleman had no wife at all. After Sherlock went to talk to the gentleman, he arrested the gentleman's psychiatrist a day later.It turned out that this gentleman had always had delusions, but it was not too serious. As a result, his condition worsened after a failed relationship, so he hired a psychiatrist.As a result, the psychiatrist found that the victim's family was very rich and had many antiques, so he used his professional skills to make the gentleman's illness worse and create opportunities for himself to steal.

"So I'm not a detective now, Shirley." After successfully completing the case of the black-hearted psychiatrist, Sherlock was circling around his dormitory happily, just like a girl who finally bought back the beautiful dress she had been longing for. "I'm a consulting detective now! Ha, those idiots in the police department are not bright enough, but they just happen to solve most of the cases committed by the same idiots themselves, and I take care of the more difficult ones. cases. They consult me ​​and I solve their puzzles. They get the credit and I get the fun, perfect!"

Li Mingye showed a gentle smile as always.She sat on the softest velvet chair in Sherlock's room, watching Sherlock who was spinning excitedly in the center of the room.When she didn't realize it, she smiled like a kind elder, but very, very gentle.

This is the gentleness that Mr. William Sherlock Scott Holmes never had in his life. She may have taught many outstanding juniors, but she has never guided another person to grow so carefully.

Holmes has too little patience. They are always galloping on the road to the truth faster than anyone else, never waiting for others.But for Li Mingye, the slightly immature young man in front of him was different.

That is herself.When she looked at him, it was like taking a selfie in a mirror, she could see every thought of this young man, just like recalling her past self.

In his previous life, Mr. Sherlock Holmes never married or had children.For him, reproduction is just a means for human beings to ferry to the other side of time. He doesn't have much hope and goodwill for children themselves, especially for women.He didn't like women, and what these chattering female creatures loved to do every day was to fluff out their big flower feathers and show off all they could.

So why marry a wife and have children?For cleaning?Maids can do it.For snacks?Maids can do it.For decent attire?There is such a profession as a tailor in this world.To be well cared for?He has servants.

But she didn't expect that the world is impermanent, and now, she can experience the mood of an elder through this kind of teaching.The warm gratification, the warm sense of accomplishment and joy, as well as the inexplicable excitement and vague loss... She knows better than anyone else what Sherlock's decision today means.

A Mr. Consulting Detective was born again in this world.

No, not again...

But for the first time.
