Sherlock Holmes

"Group 344?"

Such a simple number made his temples tingle a little.

What do you mean? Could it be that this guy thought about 344 possibilities?

This question didn't give any information, so this guy was so rude and unreasonable, taking all the possibilities into consideration? !

No, did he just say the word 'simplify'? In other words, instead of thinking about 344 possibilities, he was left with 344?

Hopkins' rationality told him that this was ridiculous, but when he looked at the person in front of him, he couldn't bring up a relaxed smile. He just felt a kind of weirdness and unreasonableness coming towards him.

But not everyone has the strong intuition of Hopkins, so when he was thinking very seriously, the judge beside him snorted and smiled.

"Ahem, I'm sorry." He immediately apologized and returned to his serious expression.

In fact, his reaction was also the reaction of other people present who had not yet left.

344 species.

If you don't know anything, you might be frightened by this number and think that the guy in front of you is really powerful. But as long as you have some reasoning ability or common sense, you can hear that this is clearly the case. Nonsense.

Coming up with so many possibilities in two hours is a joke in itself, and it's also simplified.

What to simplify?

This is not a multiple-choice question that can eliminate wrong answers!

And the most important thing is that with just one photo, no matter how strong divergent thinking is, it is impossible to come up with hundreds of thinking directions.

So Sherlock's words at this time fell into the ears of the people around him, as if he was discussing how many times a night, and the other party said, 16 times.

There should be a limit to bragging.

But just when he wanted to laugh, but could only hold it in due to his identity and demeanor, Hopkins nodded extremely solemnly.

"I see. In fact, I can also deduce from the size and model of the safe that it does not have a 'lock' secret button. So repeated attempts are indeed the most feasible method at present. There are more than 300 groups and several I should be able to try it out after hours."

As if realizing that the other party's method was indeed feasible, Hopkins smiled bitterly:

"To tell you the truth, at first I thought about using some violent means to force it open.

But then I thought, if it can be forced open, the Academy of Life Sciences will not bother us. There must be some kind of collision protection device inside the safe. As long as the pressure changes too much, strong acid or the like will be automatically poured into it.

In the School of Life Sciences, it is too easy to build a mechanism that sprays strong acid. "

He said, his tone seemed to be a little self-deprecating:

"Okay, it's over anyway. See you tomorrow."

Hopkins said.

In fact, he has not given up competition completely yet, because he has also written a set of passwords, and he feels that the probability of that set of passwords being correct is not too low.

Anyway, he nodded politely, and then walked towards the crowd. When passing by his colleagues, he whispered with some slight displeasure: "No matter what the situation is in the future, if you meet that guy named Sherlock, try to remain calm." Respect, even if he is on the opposite side, do you understand?"

Several judges around looked at each other in confusion. They didn't quite understand why Hopkins suddenly said such strange things, but after all, they were thinking too much or nodded inexplicably.

The moon and stars were sparse. This kind of weather is rare in London.

In an office building of the School of Life Sciences, several people dressed in police officer uniforms were immersed in reading among a large pile of case files.

They are all professionals invited from various cities and districts, and they are here to judge the abilities of those who participate in the screening.

Of course, the people who participated in the screening all solved the problem based on their own brains, and these people were comparing the complete files one by one.

"Tsk tsk." A person looked at the densely written case in his hand and couldn't help but sigh: "Every detail of thinking is clear. This group of people in the trial court are really amazing. They are just in their early thirties. You can have such a delicate mind.

I remember that this serial murder case took our state government's investigation department a full seven months to solve. But this guy only took two hours to solve it. And in just a few hours of assessment, He actually solved six cases, and on average, he could solve one in more than an hour.

If it takes a few more years for him to accumulate some experience, I really don't know how far he can grow. "

Speaking of this, he found that the colleague next to him ignored him and looked over with some doubts. Then, he saw his colleague hunched over with his head lowered, with a large pile of cases beside him. There was a thicker pile, and I flipped directly to the last page. After taking a look, I put it aside, and then started flipping through the next page.

In just such a short time, I finished reading four or five sets, which seemed extremely perfunctory.

"Hey, you should be more serious. You are so careless. How can you do business when you go back?"

After being reminded like this, the other party finally raised his head. It could be seen that there was still a bit of confusion and shock in his expression: "Well, I'm not being rash, but because this guy didn't write anything, he wrote it. The murderer’s name is gone.”

"What?" The other approver frowned, took the case handed over, and found that there was nothing except a name written on the last page.

"This person doesn't pay enough attention to this assessment."

"Actually, I think he should take it seriously." The colleague next to him responded, and then hesitated for a moment, as if he couldn't believe what he was going to say next: "Every case this guy has read, The murderer was correctly identified."

"Really." The other person's expression softened a little, but he was still serious: "But so what, he doesn't even write down his thinking process, so he will definitely not get high praise."

"But he did 47, and the answers were all correct."

"."

The other person was silent for a moment, his expression unchanged, as if his brain did not realize what the other person said. After two seconds, his eyes suddenly widened:

"What!!!!"

He roared.

"How much more?"

"47 copies."

The man stood up, blinked his eyes, and opened his mouth several times, but in the end nothing came out.

After a while, he finally calmed down, and then, as if he thought of something, he turned his attention to the file he just received in his hand, glanced at the person's name, and hesitated for a long time.

finally

He turned around, walked to the phone hanging on the wall of the room, and dialed a number.

After a short wait, it should be connected.

He calmed down for a moment, and then said in a clear tone as much as possible: "Hello, here is the review and approval team's content about the temporarily added assessment tonight. I suggest that the relevant departments of the Academy of Sciences can focus on verifying the content of a person named [Sherlock] .Sherlock Holmes] man’s answer.

Um, that's right.

He performed quite well in the case screening process. "

In fact, he didn't quite know how to describe this person's performance. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally reluctantly said the word "pretty good":

"Ah? Evaluate it?

Hiss, this is not easy to evaluate.

It's very, well, unbelievable. "
