Unconsciously, five months have passed since Zhang Heng arrived in Victorian London.
He was almost used to the fog on the Thames, the noise and bustle of the underground boxing ring, and the poor imagination of the British when it came to food.
But on the other hand, he has made rapid progress. His criminal investigation skills reached level 1 three months ago. His makeup skills were learned a little later, but he also broke through to level 1 just last month. In addition, because he often interacts with Ai Because of being together with Lin, Zhang Heng also learned a lot about the music, literature and painting of the 19th century under the influence of the female singer.
He also has an additional art appreciation skill, but it is only lv0 for the time being.
In the oil painting case, Irene was very helpful, but she never mentioned the request in return, as if she had forgotten about it, and just interacted with Zhang Heng like friends. However, with this woman's intelligence and cunning, Zhang Heng Heng didn't think she really forgot about it.
Zhang Heng only hoped that the other party's final request was not too troublesome, but for now, the two of them were getting along quite happily.
As for Holmes on the other side, it's a bit hard to describe.
When we first met, Holmes was still very gentlemanly. Although he occasionally did some deviant things, it basically did not affect other people. However, as time went by, the two of them were like a couple who had passed their honeymoon period, and they began to gradually reveal themselves. prototype.
Holmes often conducted messy experiments in his bedroom. In addition to secretly taking the body home, he once almost set the entire house on fire. Mrs. Hudson also complained about this. In addition, Zhang Heng was finally lucky enough to hear the legendary sound of the violin in the early morning...
However, shortly after each time he "got into trouble", Holmes would come to apologize to him in person with a sincere attitude. Of course, this would not affect him from making mistakes next time.
Fortunately, apart from these minor frictions, life in Baker Street is quite pleasant.
Zhang Heng learned a lot from Sherlock Holmes, not only his reasoning methods, but also his various side-to-side but practical little knowledge. Of course, methods like identifying where a target has been based on mud spots on boots may only be found in It was only useful in the 19th century, and would be subject to many restrictions in the cities made of reinforced concrete in the 21st century, but even so, the learning process itself was very interesting, not to mention the cases the two of them had handled together.
Zhang Heng had actually been mentally prepared before. The main task of this round of dungeons was to solve the case, and to find the criminal before Sherlock Holmes. However, if the plot really develops according to the original work, then a hundred Sherlock Holmes together would be more powerful than Sherlock Holmes. There is no last player who knows the answer in advance.
In fact, Zhang Heng has not encountered any cases in the original work so far. It stands to reason that Holmes and Watson should have completed the research case of the word in blood at this time. However, it did not appear in this round of copies. Zhang Heng did. It’s not too surprising, it’s more normal, otherwise this round of dungeons would just be testing the players’ familiarity with the original work.
Of course, there are worries. Irene Adler has appeared, so another person known as Holmes' lifelong enemy wonders if he will also appear in this round of copies.
——Professor Moriarty, once praised by Sherlock Holmes as the Napoleon of crime, the most powerful criminal emperor in Europe, established a huge criminal empire in London, half of the cases in London are related to him, in the original work Not much is known about Professor Moriarty, which makes the latter seem extremely mysterious.
However, his identity on the surface is still relatively clear.
In the original work, Professor Moriarty is ostensibly a professor of mathematics at a smaller college in the UK, and is quite famous in the academic world. However, Zhang Heng asked several teachers in the mathematics department, and everyone agreed that they had never heard of this name. In addition, Zhang Heng also couldn't find Professor Moriarty's academic book "Asteroid Mechanics" in the bookstore.
Of course, this evidence alone does not completely explain that Professor Moriarty did not appear in this round of copies. Zhang Heng is still wary of this criminal giant.
But what he and Holmes didn't know was that at this moment, another case was quietly approaching them.
This afternoon, Zhang Heng and Holmes were sitting on a bench in the park, eating sandwiches and playing the little game they had been playing recently.
Zhang Heng dragged his chin and looked at a lady in front of him who was walking with a puppy. "Married, there is no doubt that she has had at least two husbands and had children. Her current living conditions are not as good as she appears." , likes jewelry very much, is very stingy with maids, actually doesn’t like animals very much, keeps dogs just because everyone keeps dogs, and finds something to do for the maids who don’t like them, smokes, and occasionally drinks. I participated in one recently prom."
"In addition, the child she gave birth to died." Holmes said.
"Um?"
"I'm glad you noticed that she took out candy from her pocket and gave it to the children on the roadside. Normally, only people with children at home carry candy with them at all times, but if you pay attention to the way she looked at those children, You will see that in addition to pampering, there is also a trace of jealousy. In addition, she basically comes to the park every week to give out candies to nearby children. If you have children and the children are still alive, believe me, you will not treat other people’s families. The children are so caring.”
"You are cheating, you have seen the target in advance." Zhang Heng was speechless.
"No, this is experience," Holmes shook his head. "I have often come to this park before, so I have relevant experience. You must know that all reasoning is based on experience. You cannot ask me to abandon all Experience completes reasoning, my Eastern friends.”
"Okay, next one."
Holmes pointed at a man not far away, "Typist, has a wife, is a Freemason, has been to China, the pipe in his hand is of special significance to him, can play football, and should have been in the Navy in his early years. .”
"There are no problems in the front. I can tell even after being in the Navy. He knows how to play football because he watched a group of kids playing football on the side of the road for a while."
"Not only that, the ball rolled to him before, and his two bounces looked good, but you were busy dividing the sandwiches at that time and you probably didn't see it."
"What about the pipe? Why is the pipe so important to him?"
"This is an obvious thing, my friend." Holmes smiled. "The original price of the pipe was only six or seven shillings, but the repairs were made with silver hoops, which are more expensive than the pipe. Most people who have this kind of money will just buy a new one." Yes."
