[Comprehensive British and American] Those years when I opened a dessert shop on Baker Street

The Adams family has not communicated with the outside world all year round, so they naturally don't know that trouble has quietly found them.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this ancient castle located on a high mountain and shrouded in mist is a place where demons live and is the source of all horrors.When the children in the family are disobedient, the adults will scare them like this: "The devil in the castle will take away the disobedient children."

This ancient castle is already terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, but several recent events have made people even more horrified: several strange diseases appeared in the town, and the eyes of the sick people had a green light, and their teeth became rotten. It is sharp and sharp, and it bites when it sees people jumping on it.

After finally controlling it, a doctor was invited to diagnose it, but no cause could be found. Gradually, there were rumors that the devil bit this group of people.

When the devil is mentioned, everyone naturally thinks of the people in the old castle they used to scare children. Someone who met the Adams family once said that the behavior of this family is really weird. Can you imagine that this family thinks that visiting the cemetery is a thing? Wonderful thing?

According to a person familiar with the matter, who did not want to be named, he has seen the family praise the cemetery, saying it is the most peaceful place in the world.

What's more, all the people with the disease have been to the dense forest, and the dense forest is the only way to Adams Castle.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of public opinion, saying that the monsters in the castle in the dense fog of the mountains came down to suck human blood.

However, Sherlock Holmes did not believe such words.At that time, he was doing research for his third doctoral dissertation. He wanted to study the activities of microbial molecules in different soils, and he was investigating this small town.

It was in the afternoon when he arrived, and on the way from the station to the hotel where he stayed, he found that the atmosphere of this small town was not right. There were not many people walking on the street, and everyone was in a hurry. Open his eyes, the bar put up the closing sign early.

Only the boss was working in the hotel. When the boss helped him check in, he muttered in a low voice: "It's a bit of a bad time to come."

Sherlock's hearing has always been excellent: "Why didn't you come at the right time?"

The hotel owner didn't expect his muttering to be heard by him, so he quickly covered it up: "No...it's nothing, your room is the second one on the left upstairs."

There is a saying that family ugliness should not be publicized. As far as the restaurant owner is concerned, the guest in front of him is a foreigner, and he will leave after staying for a few days. These days, he is reminded to be careful, and there is no need to know the truth.

But he didn't expect that the person in front of him was not an ordinary guest. After hearing his reply, ordinary guests would go upstairs with their suitcases to check in, but the person in front of him had no intention of going upstairs, but kept staring at him. , as if a precise instrument was recording the changes in his facial expressions.

The hotel owner, who was stared at unnaturally, handed him the room card and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Sir, remember to close the doors and windows and draw the curtains at night."

"Thank you." Sherlock took the room card and walked upstairs with the suitcase.

The hotel owner breathed a sigh of relief. The guest's eyes had a strong sense of oppression, which made him feel like he was being interrogated by a criminal investigation. He was almost about to tell the whole story.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Sherlock knew about it: a section of introduction about this town was played on the train, and 60.00% of the annual economic income of this town called Broome comes from tourism. Now is spring, which is the season for tourists to go out, but the whole city is not prepared to receive tourists. Pedestrians lower their heads and avoid their eyes are signs of closure.There are not many records of visitors to the restaurant, but the boss did not show any anxiety about bad business, and even thought that the timing of the guests' arrival was not right.

When he asked, the boss didn't answer directly, his expression was evasive, there must be something hidden in it...

The first thing Sherlock did when he entered the room was to turn on the computer, and searched with the words "Bloom Town" and "Wanted Notice", and found that the latest relevant news was that a thief was arrested a month ago.

According to Sherlock's expected reasoning, there should be a murder case in the town of Broome, and the murderer has not been hunted down - the restaurant owner specially reminded him to close the doors and windows at night. Of course, this may be just an ordinary order. But judging from the fact that the contact bar closes early, this exhortation is not ordinary.

So what will happen when the two points of "hidden feelings" and "night" are combined?

The first keyword that popped up in Sherlock's mind was murder, and the murderer only killed people at night, which made everything have a reasonable explanation.

But the following web search data overturned the first keyword, and the arrest warrants in Broome town were updated very diligently, which also revealed how incompetent the police in this town are, even such trivial matters as catching a thief If there is a murder case, the police station's wanted warrants will definitely be flying all over the sky, but there is no news that there is a murder case here.

But a related search on the webpage attracted his attention: four people in Broome Town had a strange disease, which made many doctors helpless.

It is not difficult to find out the connection between the strange disease and the panic of the town residents, but the goldfish in the town think that the four people contracted the strange disease because they were bitten by the monster in the castle, which is really ridiculous.

However, the strange disease is really inseparable from the dense forest leading to the castle.

Sherlock's room happened to be able to see the mountains in the distance, and the gloomy castle that people said was shrouded in mist, which aroused his curiosity.

To others, this castle is a place of evil and terror, but to him, it is a puzzle.

The doctoral dissertation is really not difficult, he needs to give his brain a little stimulation.

Sherlock decided to go there to have a look, and by the way investigate the strange disease in the town of Broome, he did not believe any nonsense about demons biting people.

In the news, people with strange diseases are all from poor families. They took advantage of the spring to venture up the mountains to pick flowers and sell them in towns. After discovering this commonality, Sherlock specially dressed up to make himself look like a poor vagabond Chinese.

When I walked out of the room and went downstairs, I had an "unexpected encounter" with a group of blue butterflies flapping their wings and flying upstairs.

After the butterflies met Sherlock Holmes, they stopped flying up, but circled around him. Surrounded by the butterflies, he looked like a fragrant "flower fairy".

This group of butterflies seemed to be looking for him on purpose. Wherever he went, the butterflies followed him, which attracted inquiring eyes for him. People couldn't figure out why the butterflies followed such a poor tramp.

Sherlock was walking on the mountain path, at first it was okay, everything around him was still clear, but then the fog in the jungle gradually thickened, and it was difficult for his eyes to recognize the road in front of him.

But at this time, a group of butterflies also flew from right in front of him, flapping their wings as well as surrounding him, and even acted as a guide when he had trouble recognizing the direction.

It was the butterfly that took Sherlock away from the jungle. When approaching the rumored castle, Sherlock heard the sound of music, which was Tchaikovsky's "Humorous Waltz".

The closer you get to the castle, the louder and louder the music will be.

Surrounded and led by butterflies, Sherlock finally came to the castle. He could only see a big rusty iron gate. As for the scene in the yard, he could only describe it as hazy.

The music stopped.

But it didn't take long before there was a sound of "da da" footsteps.
