48 Hours a Day

Chapter 511: Small Games

Unconsciously, five months have passed since Zhang Heng arrived in Victorian London.

He was almost used to the fog on the Thames, to the noise and noise of the underground boxing ring, and to the poor imagination of the British in food.

But on the other hand, he made rapid progress, his forensic skills reached lv1 three months ago, and his makeup academy was later, but just last month he also broke into lv1, in addition to that, because he was often with Irene, Zhang Heng also had a lot of knowledge of 19th century music and literary painting under the auspices of female singers.

He also has an extra skill in art appreciation, but only lv0 for now.

In the oil painting case, Irene helped a lot, but in return, she never mentioned it. Just as she forgot about it, she was just hanging out with Zhang Heng like a friend, but with this woman's wisdom and cunning, Zhang Heng didn't think she really forgot about it.

Zhang Heng only hoped that the other party's ultimate request would not be too cumbersome, but for the moment, the two of them were getting along quite well.

As for Holmes on the other side, it's kind of hard to say.

Holmes was a gentleman when he first met him, and although he occasionally did something disobedient, it basically didn't affect anyone else, but over time, the two people, like a couple of honeymoon couples, began to reveal their prototypes.

Holmes often makes some messy experiments in his bedroom. In addition to secretly bringing the body home, he almost lit the whole house once, and Mrs. Hudson complained about it. In addition, Zhang Heng finally had the privilege of hearing the legendary morning violin...

Shortly after each “crash," Holmes came back to apologize to him in person with sincerity, which, of course, did not prevent him from continuing to make mistakes the next time.

Fortunately, life on Baker Street was quite enjoyable when these little frictions were removed.

Zhang Heng learned a lot from Holmes, not only his reasoning methods, but also his practical little knowledge of all kinds of deviations. Of course, methods such as distinguishing where goals have been based on mud spots on boots may only be useful in the 19th century. In a city built of reinforced concrete in the 21st century, there will be a lot of limitations, but even so, the learning process itself is interesting, let alone the cases that the two of us have worked on together.

Zhang Heng actually had some psychological preparation before. The main task of this round of copies is to solve the case and to find the culprit before Holmes, but if the plot really develops according to the original book, the 100 Holmes Gas together is no better than a player who knew the answer in advance.

In fact, Zhang Heng has not encountered any cases in the original book so far. According to theory, Holmes and Watson should have also completed the study of blood words at this time. However, neither appeared in this round of copies, and Zhang Heng was not too surprised. This is normal. Otherwise, this round of copies is only examining the player's familiarity with the original book.

Of course, it's not that there's nothing to worry about. Eileen Adler has appeared, so the other one, known as Holmes' lifelong enemy, doesn't know if she'll show up in this round of copies.

- Professor Moriarty, once hailed by Holmes as Napoleon of the criminal world, the most powerful criminal emperor in Europe as a whole, built a huge criminal empire in London, and half of the cases in the city of London were related to him, and the lack of description of Professor Moriarty in the original book also made the latter seem mysterious.

However, his identity on the face is fairly clear.

Original Chinese Professor Moriarty appeared to be a mathematics professor at a smaller college in the UK and was well known in academia. However, Zhang Heng asked several mathematics faculty teachers, who unanimously said they had not heard the name, and Zhang Heng, Professor Moriarty's academic book, Asteroid Mechanics, was not found in the bookstore.

Of course, the mere evidence does not entirely indicate that Professor Moriarty did not appear in this round of copies, and Zhang Heng remains vigilant against the criminal giant.

What he and Holmes didn't know, however, was that at that point, another case was quietly looking for them.

This afternoon, Zhang Heng and Holmes sat in the park bench eating sandwiches and playing a little game they had been playing lately.

Zhang Heng dragged his chin and looked at a noble woman walking with a puppy, “Married, no doubt, at least two husbands, had had children, living conditions are not as good as they are today, extremely like jewellery, very stingy to maids, not really like animals, only because everyone has dogs, by the way, find something to do for maids who don't like them, smoke cigarettes, occasionally drink alcohol, recently attended a prom. ”

“In addition, the child she gave birth to died.” Holmes Road.

“Hmm?”

“I'm glad you noticed that she used to pull candy out of her pockets for kids on the side of the road, usually only people at home who have kids are always carrying sugar, but if you look at the way she looks at those kids, you'll see that there's a little bit of jealousy in addition to drowning, and she basically comes to the park every week to send sugar to nearby kids, and if you have kids and they're alive, trust me, you're not going to care so much about other people's kids. ”

“You're cheating. You've seen the target before.” Zhang Heng has no words.

“No, it's experience," Holmes shook his head, "I used to come to this park a lot before, so I have relevant experience, knowing that all reasoning is based on experience, and you can't make me throw away all the experience to complete reasoning, my Eastern friend. ”

“Okay, next. ”

Holmes pointed to a man not far away, “A typist, with a wife, a Masons member, has been to China, the pipe in his hand is of particular importance to him, can play soccer, should have been in the Navy in the early years. ”

“There's no problem up ahead, and I can see that he played soccer because he watched those kids play soccer on the street for a while? ”

“Not only that, he rolled the ball to him before, but he looked good twice upside down, but you were probably busy splitting the sandwich at the time. ”

“What about the pipe? Why is it so important to him? ”

“It's obvious, my friend.” Holmes laughed, "The pipe cost only six or seven shillings, but the repairs are made with silver hoops, which are more expensive than pipes, and people usually buy new ones with this money. ”
