[(John Watson's blog)

7th February

AStudy in The Fat

I've blacked...]

Due to the request of a psychiatrist, John had to write something on his blog frequently, but it was like a student being forced to write a weekly diary by the teacher. He couldn't understand what there was to write about in this peaceful and boring life, he just felt irritable.

Until he meets his current roommate - the consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.

He seemed to have regained the feeling of being on the battlefield, he was missing the exciting and unsettled life, and Sherlock could bring him these.

Fuck his PTSD!

John fires his physiotherapist, as suggested by Sherlock's mysterious and seemingly powerful brother. ①

However, the habit of blogging has survived unexpectedly, because he has enough exciting things to write about in his current life.

On February 2th, Watson organized his experience with Sherlock that day into a blog post.

Some comments also emerged in the ensuing hour or two.

His older sister, Harry Watson, also posted a "kind and friendly" greeting to another character on his blog after sending a "kind and friendly" greeting to the serial killer.

- Omg, a ten year old.Look at what that fucking lunatic did!John, tell me is the kid okay?

- Harry Watson 07February14:53

A full week had passed since the meeting at the police station that day, and John really didn't know about the child's situation. After thinking about it, he decided to ask Sherlock.

"Sherlock, do you remember that kid? Do you know what he's doing now?" Thank goodness Sherlock wasn't fiddling with some "parts of him" he'd gotten out of nowhere.

Sherlock was sitting on the sofa flipping through a book, and his quantum reading-like speed of flipping through the book really made it hard for John to understand it as "reading a book".

He's bored because it's been a week since his last case and he might have to find something to do for himself.

"Who?" Without looking up, Sherlock took out his mobile phone and edited a text message to Barts Hospital forensic doctor Jasmine Amber.

- I need a fresh corpse.

-SH

"Faivos Ramirez, the boy in that case." John saw him stand up and seemed to be going out, "Is there a case?"

"He's very nice, I think Graham must love him to death." Sherlock put on his own long trench coat, "I'm here to have some fun, you can come together, it's something you're good at."

Although he didn't know what Sherlock was going to do, John subconsciously followed him and put on his coat, "Who is Graham?"

"Maybe it's Gracie? Whatever it is, follow." Sherlock walked downstairs quickly, stretched out his hand in greeting from the side of the street, and soon a taxi stopped in front of them.

"Hey, that's Inspector Greg Lestrade." John followed him into the taxi, and looked at the driver a few more times - since the murderer in the last case was a taxi driver.

The taxi drove away, and John, who followed Sherlock to Butts Hospital, soon regretted it.

"I'm a military doctor, not a forensic doctor!"

"Always get used to - I mean you've been doing well, keep it up." Sherlock smirked.

By the time John and Sherlock returned to 221B Baker Street, it was already after they had dinner at the Chinese restaurant at the end of Baker Street.

Only then did John remember the comments on his blog. It seemed that he hadn't told his sister about the child yet.

Compared with before he went out, there are now more than [-] comments under the blog, even Inspector Lestrade, who appeared in the mouth of him and Sherlock before, has left a message, and the one who always looks down on Sherlock Officer Navan.

John: Hey, how did they find my blog!

-Thanks for your concern, I am looking for a new family for that child.

- Greer Lestrade 07February15:06

- that's all right, poor boy.

- Harry Watson 07February15:18

- you raised a child

-theimprobableone (the improbable one) 07February15:20③

-Temporary guardian. M, you should write your ID well.

- Greer Lestrade 07February15:25

-who is he?

- Harry Watson 07February15:28

- I'm a Sherlock Holmes expert.Capital letters are just one of the conventions of the masses that I choose to ignore, and you have just been reduced to one of them, like sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

-theimprobableone07February15:20

-Oh, he's a genius (referring to Sherlock).I really hope we can meet one day.

-Anonymous (anonymous) 07February16:09④

No one pays attention to the anonymous guy at the end who looks like an ordinary tourist.

To be honest, recently Lestrade has been troubled for a long time about finding a new family for Favors.

The Children's Welfare Bureau is still looking for Favors' relatives. Recently, they found a family in Russia and are trying to communicate with them.

This is not what Lestrade is worried about. There is never a shortage of people who want to adopt a smart child like Favors. What he is worried about is that Favors' intelligence will be used.

Favors was very clever. He was the smartest person Lestrade had ever met besides the Holmes brothers.In two cases a few days ago, Favors easily deduced the criminal's motive and location based on a little information from the news.

Apart from lamenting that his knowledge of criminal psychology over the years was not as good as that of a child, Lestrade also faced Favors' wisdom squarely.

He gave Favors several psychological tests (if Favors hadn't cooperated, he even felt that he would only get wrong test results), the results showed that Favors is currently an observer personality, who likes knowledge, but for the whole The society is too alienated and indifferent. He knows the bottom line of social morality, but he himself does not have this line.

This means that if he is raised in the wrong direction, he can easily cross the moral line, from a cold observer to a high IQ sociopath. ⑤

For solving the case, he didn't think about justice and helping the victim, but took the merits of solving the case as a gift to the detective who temporarily took him in.

Damn, I feel more and more that this is a shrunken version of Sherlock.

This gave Lestrade a headache.

The honest Mr. Inspector hopes that Favors can learn a sense of social responsibility, just like teaching the orphan of Krypton to be a righteous superman. He needs a "Kent" couple.

The information on Russian relatives sent by the Welfare Bureau obviously did not satisfy Lestrade, but John's blog reminded him that this kind military doctor seemed to get along well with Sherlock.

He called John and shared his concerns with John.

"Maybe you can adopt that child yourself." This was John's first reaction after hearing this.

Lestrade also felt that the choice of black under the lamp was good, but he needed to wait for the reply from the Russian relative before asking Favors himself.

About a week later, the Russian family gave a reply. They did have the intention of adopting, but after learning about Favors' situation, they felt that they were not capable of raising a genius who followed the elite education route, so they refused.

This also reminded Lestrade, he looked at the bank card and passbook spread out in front of him, took out his notebook and began to calculate the accounts.

Favors' current tutors had paid large tuition fees in advance, and the next payment would be months away.Clothes, books and supplies are all brought from home at present, and there is no cost.The only expenses Lestrade now bears are babysitting and catering.

But if Lestrade decides to adopt Favors, those tuition fees and daily necessities will fall on him sooner or later.That money is nothing to a best-selling author, but it is a bit of a struggle to the cash-strapped Lestrade.

He intends to sell this expensive dwelling as soon as possible, so that he can take Favors to move to a larger house in a remote location, and he can have a lot of extra money, plus his inspector's salary and a little normal range The debt is enough to afford the cost of raising a child.

Although Lestrade didn't say anything, Favors already understood his thoughts.He didn't have any special feelings about Lestrade wanting to adopt him, because he knew who his biological father was, but he had no plans to recognize his father at the moment.

Sherlock also noticed Lestrade's plan through his keen observation skills. For this reason, he even called Mycroft on a whim, mocking his weight and teeth.

"What a surprise, my dear brother, I thought you were here to inform me of your marriage."⑥

"Put that disgusting look on your face, fat man. Ha, I'll definitely show you when you were a kid at your wedding." After saying that, Sherlock hung up the phone.

"Oh~" Mycroft's tone rose. Although he used the engagement incident as a metaphor for John and Sherlock's acquaintance too quickly, he didn't expect Sherlock to pick up this conversation. This is not his brother's style.

He believed that Sherlock would not fall in love with someone he had just met like some irrational fools did. In fact, the marriage of the two brothers broke Mummy's heart.So leaving aside the emotional meaning, why did Sherlock mention "the wedding"?

With no feedback from his monitors or agents, it looks like he needs to get some information from the Inspector.

On the evening of February 2th, Lestrade, who finally had some free time, decided to bake some pizza and watch the football game with Favors, which can be regarded as cultivating parent-child relationship.

But just as he and Favors were poking holes in the finished pizza base with a fork, his cell phone rang.

Thinking that something happened and he had to work overtime, Lestrade scolded those restless criminals, apologized to Favors, and hurried to the living room to pick up his mobile phone to connect after washing his hands.

Fortunately, it wasn't a call from the venue, but the agent said that someone planned to buy his house, and the other party was currently at the agent's place, and hoped to chat with the owner before viewing the house.

Considering that there were not many people willing to buy his house, Lestrade quickly agreed, and after briefly explaining the situation with Favors, he put on his windbreaker and went out.

He hastily pushed open the agency door, "I hope I'm not too late—" His tone suddenly changed when he saw the man with his back to the door looking at the British map on the wall, "Mycroft, It's you?"

"Sit." Mycroft pointed to the opposite chair with an umbrella.The intermediary here has been cleared, only Mycroft's female assistant is standing in an inconspicuous corner near the door.

Lestrade sat down unceremoniously, straightened his coat, and said angrily, "What's the matter?"

"I think you understand." Mycroft also sat down.

"Sherlock has been doing well recently, and his new roommate is a nice person." Lestrade replied.

"Yes, but that's not what I want to know." Mycroft propped his elbows on the table. "Why do you think he mentioned 'wedding'?"

"What?!" Lestrade replied subconsciously, "I didn't hear that he and Dr. Watson..."

"Obviously not."

"I'm really fed up. Just because Sherlock said the word 'wedding', you actually tricked me into leaving Favors and running over. You can contact me by phone or text message." This is simply Sherlock's exclusive control/ System / crazy.

"Favors? It's a good name." Mycroft looked at Lestrade. "The efficiency of the Child Welfare Bureau is really worrying... No, you plan to adopt him?" Mycroft noticed Lestrade difference in attitude.

"Yes, I'll take him to go through the formalities tomorrow. If you hadn't called me over, he might have called me Dad by now."

Mycroft knew about Lestrade's temporary custody of a child, and because it was only temporary (which was not uncommon for the good Lestrade), he didn't pay much attention to the child, only from John's I learned from the blog that he was a very smart kid.

"Congratulations, but I think you need to find a new house more than you need to make pizza right now."

Lestrade, who was used to getting along with the Holmes brothers, lowered his head and saw traces of flour on his shirt, "What do you mean?"

The reply was the text message notification from the mobile phone in his pocket. Lestrade opened it and took a look. A large amount of money was transferred to his account, which was exactly the price he sold the house.He turned around and saw Mycroft's female assistant smiling at him while playing with her mobile phone.

Lestrade's momentum weakened, "Thank you, Mycroft."

"It's nothing. If you are willing to accept, I can give you more. You don't have to worry about your child's education. I will introduce you to the best tutor." There is no need for subordinates to investigate, McCaw The husband could see Lestrade through at a glance.Although he was in a hurry to sell the house, he did not lower the price, which meant that Mr. Inspector was in urgent need of money, and it was still a lot of money.The welfare in the UK is not bad. Ordinary children's education will definitely not be unaffordable for the Scottish inspector. Obviously, the education that the child received is unusual.

"Don't act like a big devil, I will help you watch Sherlock, but definitely not spying on him."

"The Great Demon King." Mycroft raised his eyebrows.

"If there is nothing else, I'll go back first." Lestrade stood up.

"Maybe I can share a slice of pizza?" Mycroft remained seated.

Lestrade paused, "Not today, I need to find a new house." He went back to what McCoff said just now, and felt that his reply was not very good, so he asked compensatoryly, "Maybe Would you like to come and see the house at six o'clock the night after tomorrow?"

"my pleasure."

Lestrade, who returned home, told Favors that he had sold the house, and expressed his intention to formally adopt him.

Even though he had expected it, Favors was still speechless when he saw Lestrade's sincere gaze.

Of course he could see that Lestrade was sincerely doing his best. Because of this, he was a little... flattered?Maybe it's a bit strange to describe it like this, but his reaction to feelings is a little less than what he imagined.

In the past he had only received family affection from his mother, but this time he received family affection from Lestrade.

He didn't forget his mother's last words, but since his adoptive father took refuge in his biological father, rounding up means that he also took refuge in his biological father to fulfill his mother's last wish.

Hmm, no problem.

For the biological father, Mr. Mycroft Holmes, Favors has a bit of same-sex repulsion, otherwise he would have been able to recognize his relatives as early as the beginning.

As for his adoptive father, Lestrade (yes, he admitted it so quickly), he felt more like his mother, and he felt that he liked such an upright and gentle person.Not very smart, at least not making stupid statements (other than asking why) and pretending to be smart.

On February 2, Lestrade took Favors through the formalities, and his friends congratulated him, even Sherlock sent a congratulatory message (Lestrade was flattered).

The morning of February 2, McCaw was booked to see "The House."

While reading the newspaper, Favors solved today's Scrabble game - Ready (ready).

It may be that the meaning of this word made him think too much. In short, Favors noticed something wrong. The general Scrabble riddles and answers were correct, but this time it was a bit far-fetched.

He immediately turned out the newspaper puzzles from the previous issues in his mind, and the initial letters of these words were combined——

LetusplayMinesweeper. (Let's play minesweeper.)

From February 2st to February 1th, it is not a coincidence or a newspaper activity that 2 initials form exactly one sentence.

On February 2st, it was the day after he gave the other party his answer with the violin.

The game has started, and the opponent is ready.

This time the game is - Minesweeper.

This is a very popular and very simple computer game. You only need to click on the grid and calculate all the non-leigh grids through the numbers that appear, and at the same time avoid stepping on mines (markable mines). If you step on a mine, you will lose everything.The difficulty of the game is divided into four grades: the primary level is 9*9 grids, with 10 mines; the intermediate level is 16*16, 40 mines; the advanced level is 16*30,99, 24 mines; the custom range is less than 30*668, The number of mines is less than [-]. ⑦

The calculation method of this game is also very simple, there will be a corresponding number of mines in the 3*3 area centered on the number.

Clearing this game is also very simple, patience, calculation, plus a little luck.

Even for advanced players, there will be unlucky things from time to time when you step on a mine and restart it when you blindly step on it for the first time.

This is really nothing as a computer game, but what if it is put into reality?

Taking a city as the scope, looking for dozens or hundreds of bombs hidden in it, as long as there is one error--

boom!

All exploded.

That's the game Favors is playing.
