Sherlock Holmes

In fact, to be honest, deliberately showing off your reasoning skills in front of others is an extremely unpleasant experience for Sherlock.

Because the process is the same every time, first I explain an obvious reasoning, then the other party is surprised, then there is a set of expected questions, and finally I have to explain it from beginning to end with great effort.

It's a waste of time and words, but in the end nothing can be exchanged, because when the reasoning is carried out, the other party still doesn't understand, so you still have to explain it to everyone.

This seems stupid.

But there is no way. Moriarty probably spent a lot of effort in arranging for him to come in. After all, he is a holy son, and he is still small-minded, so he still needs to take care of his face.

Therefore, Sherlock didn't care about the astonishment of the people in front of him. He didn't even wait for the other party to question, and already explained on his own.

"The administrative region of Poland, known as [Poland] before the Holy Calendar, has a strange custom in this country, that is, the wedding ring should be placed on the little finger of the left hand. As for why it is definitely a wedding ring, I will add it later; stay up late for this I don’t think I need to explain too much. Anyone with long eyes can see it; your nails are very clean, and you don’t have too many necklaces, earrings or other accessories, but you have childish stickers on your little fingers on both sides. The heart-shaped nail stickers you use are too precious to tear off, so I presume that your child is a girl. Of course, it may also be a boy with a somewhat biased personality. As for why he is 13 years old, It's because there is a terrible text about "Toothpaste can wash away blue ink" in the fifth-year science textbook of the Empire's public education. Unfortunately, since 10 years ago, most manufacturers have added "Corin blue" to their ink formulas. After using this dye, toothpaste can no longer wash away the ink, but this text still exists, inducing countless curious children to try it with interest, and then ruining countless white shirts, from your You can see it from the leaking hem on the lower left side, and your shirt is also a victim."

Having said this, Sherlock noticed the expressions of the people in front of him and realized that his speaking speed should still be a bit fast, so he coughed lightly and slowed down:

"As for the town you went to yesterday, it was all because of the rain stains on your shoulders, the small mud spots on your shoes and trouser legs, and a weather report. The documents, pen and paper, coffee cup, and cigarette ashes on your desk The tanks and all the other things are still there, a little messy. In fact, it can be seen from the work process and importance. You should have been in contact with people invited from all over the empire in the past few days. In short, it is impossible to go there I went on vacation hundreds of kilometers away, but in recent days, only the town 30 kilometers away last night had a 25-minute shower. I thought about it, you took the time to go there during such a busy time. I went to a place where it took at least two or three hours to go back and forth, and I was wearing such a festive outfit that was completely incompatible with my work clothes. It was either a birthday or an important friend’s party. Of course, it was such a small In this town, I don’t think anyone would let the personnel manager of a certain political district of the Academy of Life Sciences run over to have a good time at night;

As for why it is definitely your mother, the inference comes from the hand-knitted scarf around your neck. Although this season is indeed warm, the color is a bit too old-school, and knitting is definitely not a job that can be done in a short time. Being a father is not a job. If you can't do this, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Also, your husband's height is just an estimate, but he and you have a very common couple habit, which is to kiss their foreheads before parting. It's very ceremonial, and the size is just right, but today's ceremony is obviously a bit rushed. After all, you have to rush back to the institute from the town so early in the morning. You may not have noticed that the hair on your forehead has been pushed to both sides. There’s still a little coffee stain here, that’s all.”

Sherlock gestured to his forehead.

The lady in front of her was stunned for a moment, came to her senses, and wiped her forehead subconsciously.

"Now, let's talk about the wedding ring. There is a very light mark on the little finger where you wear the wedding ring. It is obviously the engagement ring you once wore. Because of the light from the Bona Ann Administrative Region, it has not disappeared yet. , and in the few years after wearing the engagement ring, you lost a little weight. I think it was you and your husband who came to the School of Life Sciences together. The heavy work made you feel tired, but it also gave you a good return on your property. , until 14 years ago, when you finally saved enough money for your wedding, you took off your engagement ring and replaced it with the current one.

Oh, this ring is not cheap. The annual limited edition at that time cost more than 40,000 imperial coins for customized sizes. It seems that you made a little fortune. In fact, the house in the nearby town was also bought at that time. Although every day It takes two or three hours to waste on the road, but for you more than ten years ago, it was considered extremely happy.

So thinking about the small fortune I made 14 years ago, I probably guessed that it was a high-strength shock-proof glass announced by the materials research department 14 years ago. It was used in the cab of a steam train. A stone flew in the face and even cracked. None, your husband should have something to do with this research.

In short, it can be connected by thinking about it this way. You have your own house and no longer need to live in a dormitory, so it is natural for you to give birth to a baby. And your mother is old and has been taken over, so you can watch it by the way. Looking at the children, the two of them are getting more and more motivated in their work. Now they may have purchased a house in the institute. The children have also gone to school in a place with the strongest academic atmosphere in the entire empire. The mother is not used to the fast pace of life here. , so you continue to live in the small town house you bought more than ten years ago. Yesterday was her birthday. Although you and your husband were tired after work, you rushed there. Of course, you had to take the children with you. And the one in your family The little princess is also very good at choosing the right time. She used toothpaste and ink to fight on your clothes for half an hour. After you came back this morning, you didn’t have time to go home and change, so you had to bite the bullet and wear it to work. Oh, the scarf is yours. Mother's gift to you, is there anything else I haven't explained yet? "

Although Sherlock deliberately slowed down this series of words, his even way of speaking with spouting words still made him look extremely weird. The few people behind the table could hold the position of manager in the Academy of Life Sciences. His brain is not too stupid, so he can barely digest Sherlock's words. As for whether there is anything missing, it doesn't seem to matter now.

Oh, actually Sherlock has no explanation. For example, the age, name, and position of the 47-year-old Miss Claireson.

Even if he was asked to explain, he could still use some words to make sense, but since the other party didn't ask any more questions, Sherlock didn't bother to make it up.

The real situation is that when he sees the other person, as long as he concentrates, he can see the other person's name, age, and some identity and resume.

But this is limited to this. Information about what she has done recently, how old her children are, where the house she bought before is located, and other information cannot be seen. However, the power in his mind can, based on Sherlock's own line of reasoning, give answers such as, 'Where did it rain yesterday? What profitable research and development did the Academy of Life Sciences have fourteen years ago? Which year was that engagement ring a limited edition? How much is this information worth?

Wait a moment.

Suddenly, he felt like he had discovered something.

The power in my mind seems to be able to only give out information that has been traced in newspapers, documents, archives, and books!

For example, what was the name of Bonian Administrative State before the start of the sacred calendar, and what customs it had. Things that have been mentioned in history books can emerge.

However, where did the beautiful young woman next door go yesterday, what did she eat, and why she didn’t come home at night? This is something that few people care about, and no one will record it. There is no response. If you want to know, you can only rely on inference. .

But...there's something not quite right!

He obviously only had this weird power after coming into contact with the sun in hell, so why would human records or unrecorded things affect him?

It seems as if there is some connection between the sun and the human world.

Sherlock was a little thoughtful, but he was still sitting in the chair of the [Temporary Personnel Reception Department], and there were a group of people in front of him looking at him with strange or surprised eyes, so he couldn't just enter a state of thinking regardless.

"Forehead"

Finally, Miss Claireson let out a deep groan, and her eyes scanned the identity resume in the Sherlock file [London——Downtown——Affiliation: None——Self-employed private detective].

After hesitating for a while:

"Your reasoning ability is really good. You are qualified. Someone will naturally take you to the lounge after you go out. When all the people invited today arrive, you will take the assessment together with these people."

Sherlock heard this: "Can you tell me a little bit about what kind of assessment it is?"

"It is just a screening. We will verify the abilities of the examiners from all aspects. As for the reason, there are many people invited this time. There are people from within the Holy See, government recommendations, people from different fields and different departments. In general We can't all hold our own opinions and end up in a mess, so we will use assessments to select who can stay and who needs to leave, and in the end, we have to select the person with the most superior ability."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Sherlock seemed to be a little interested: "Then, what will this person get?"

"We can't reveal it yet. In short, there will definitely be some special rights and treatment."

Miss Clareson explained, and then felt that the time was almost up, so she waved her hand to indicate that Sherlock could leave.

After he left, a middle-aged man on the side came over and said tentatively:

"I think this guy seems to be quite skilled and has strong reasoning ability. And looking at this file, he can be regarded as a detective with a sense of responsibility and justice."

Miss Clairson nodded, obviously agreeing with the other party's view, but there was still some regret in her eyes:

"What a pity. After all, he is just a civilian detective without any support from any force. As a result, he can only rely on his own talent to move forward, so the limit of his talent is the limit of his ability.

You also know what kind of case we are investigating. As long as you intervene, you will be subject to pressure from all directions. How can he, a civilian, withstand it? "

Speaking of this, Miss Clairson flipped through Sherlock's resume again, and then on the last page, she saw the record of his canonization ceremony half a year ago.

"He is over thirty years old and has just become a contractor. It can be seen that although he is very capable as a detective, his compatibility with demons is very poor, and the demons he belongs to are only low-level worms.

The dean devoted his life to the study of demons and eventually died in the demon laboratory, so it is best to find a powerful contractor for the investigation of his death.

Sigh. Anyway, it is definitely impossible for him to be the most suitable person.

We can only hope that he will perform better during the screening and not be kicked out. After all, his reasoning ability can still make some contributions to the investigation team. "
