[Comprehensive] The God of Desire unfolds

Chapter 32 Detective Sherlock 7

When Sherlock saw Nelson at the dining table after waking up, he paused, then sat down across from him.Just as he was about to reach for a slice of bread, a sandwich with butter was handed to him.

He looked along the sandwich, and Nelson's bright smiling face just broke into his sight without any sudden awareness.

After taking three or two bites, Sherlock drank the milk in his hand, wiped his mouth, looked at Nelson and said, "There is no class this morning, you plan to go home,"

Nelson took a sip of black coffee and said, "Yes. But... do you want to visit my house?" He asked this out of a sudden thought, although he felt that it was a bit unexpected, but he didn't mean to take back the sentence .He looked at Sherlock eagerly, anticipating his response.

"Maybe I can interpret this as you are inviting me to your house." Sherlock raised an eyebrow.

"Well, you can say that. But it's not so formal, I just go to my own apartment. Of course, it's nothing compared to your house, it's just an ordinary bachelor's apartment." Nelson thought, adding a few more words sentence.

It turned out that Sherlock accepted Nelson's invitation and took the bus with him to the apartment building.

The first thing Sherlock did when he entered the door was to take a closer look at Nelson's small room—"Your room is as regular and tidy as I imagined, and generally people like this are easy to be serious and You have a stubborn personality; the books on the bookshelf are divided into categories, but most of them are detective books, which means that your reticence at the scene is not because you did not observe, but because you are too busy memorizing the materials that can be recorded and have no time to explain ;Finally... here's where it gets interesting. Dear Nelson, I thought you'd be able to tell me that you keep a diary, although I've noticed that you sometimes have a dirty ink mark on the side of your right hand. This matter—especially under the premise of shaping the protagonist based on me."

As early as when Sherlock rushed into the room like a gust of wind, he suddenly remembered that Nelson, who hadn't put away the letter paper, rubbed his forehead angrily, and then smiled, seeing his teeth but not seeing his eyes.

"Dear Sherlock, maybe I have the honor to invite you to view my collection. The ancient ore that my mentor gave me when I participated in the experimental project the year before last seems to contain a new type of substance. The structure of the elements is very wonderful."

It was a clumsy and awkward way to change the subject, but thankfully, Nelson succeeded.Sherlock immediately left the stack of letters and began to carefully observe the small ore.

Apparently he won't find anything, because Nelson was just talking nonsense, the innocent kid thought his tutor-student-Nelson would pass up this opportunity to do his own research for two years and only now told him .

Nelson, who had no guilt at all, went to the kitchen to prepare lunch after fooling Sherlock. Of course, he couldn't miss the snacks he was good at. Since he promised to make it for Sherlock, he would naturally not break his promise.

Even people who are not gluttons cannot remain indifferent when they smell the fragrance, not to mention that Sherlock has never had any feelings similar to reserved, so after a feast of sweet but not greasy desserts, Xia Locke Locke's visit is temporarily over.

Sherlock turned on the computer while Nelson was preparing snacks, and tried to get the location of the person who sent the text message through the mobile phone number, but failed as expected.

After the two returned to Sherlock's house and finished their afternoon classes together, the text message that they thought should have disappeared was received again.This time, he did not provide exact information like last time, but simply said "May [-]st".

International Labour Day?There is still a long time before May [-]st. Is this day chosen because it has a special meaning or because the other party is arrogant enough to give them enough rest time?Nelson smiled slightly. He looked at the excited Sherlock, and felt that the so-called rest speculation was simply nonsense.He is always so energetic when encountering such seemingly interesting things.

Time passed slowly, just when Sherlock was about to forget about it because of too long, May [-]st arrived.He glanced at the date circled on the bedside calendar and dialed Nelson.When he came to Sherlock's house, Nelson looked very relaxed. He showed him the text message on his phone, and the content on it was worth thinking about.

“London Chinatown”

Another one related to Chinese culture, is it a coincidence or intentional?The last time it was the famous ancient Chinese painting "Admonitions of the Female History", and this time it was Chinatown, which is full of Chinese flavor. Is there any connection between them?

In any case, all we have to do now is head to Chinatown, located in the Soho district of Westminster, London.

The red lanterns with Chinese characteristics spread to the whole street. Because today is May Day, it looks much more lively than in the past. Although there are holidays in China, it is still working as usual here.

Sherlock's eyes skipped over the restaurants on the roadside and various handmade souvenir shops. The mobile phone in Nelson's hand did not ring for a long time, and Sherlock did not stop and walked forward.

Sherlock stopped sensitively until he reached an art store, and at this moment a new message popped up on Nelson's phone.

"painting"

Sherlock entered the store without hesitation, while Nelson looked around vigilantly, but did not see anyone suspicious.The text message reminded him of a message that their every move now may be within the sight of others.It was a bad feeling to be watched, and Nelson had the illusion that he was being watched.

Since they are not zoo animals, naturally no one likes to be watched by others.

Sherlock looked around after entering the door, and there is no doubt that even if it was placed in the corner, the extremely familiar "Picture of the Female History" has attracted his attention very strikingly.

While Sherlock studied the painting, Nelson walked over to the woman who was sitting in the shadows behind the counter.

This woman has a typical appearance of a person from a water town in southern China, with unattractive but delicate eyebrows and eyes, narrow and small bones unique to oriental people, and cheekbones that are a bit prominent because of being too thin. The expression looks very leisurely.

But she doesn't seem to know what Nelson's major is. He is a top student in psychology at Oxford University, and it is more than enough to see through the disguise of an ordinary woman.

He didn't expose the woman, but smiled politely and said, "Excuse me, are you the owner of the shop? If so, can you recommend some paintings to me, I want to buy them back for collection." Even if she knew she must know herself Who is it, but he still acts like an ordinary tourist, which obviously confuses the woman.

She stood up hesitantly, clutching the corners of her skirt with hands hanging on both sides in embarrassment, showing a slightly shy smile. "Well... the things in our store are all copied by ourselves, but they are all as beautiful as the real ones. If you want to take them home, the smaller ones are more suitable for carrying, and if you want to decorate them, you need to pay a little more. We can also help you frame it, Brother Chen is very professional in all aspects..." At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped, slightly lowered her head and kept her mouth shut.

Nelson smiled as if he didn't find anything and continued: "Brother Chen is your boyfriend?" Although it was for the sake of cliche, he still noticed that the woman's face was slightly red when he mentioned that Brother Chen, Obviously, if not a romantic relationship, at least unrequited love.

Apparently, she was a little flustered by being told about the central matter, she waved her hand, "Brother Chen is my boss..." She noticed that she had said the wrong thing again, so she said "See for yourself what you like" He simply shut his mouth tightly and sat back on his bench.

Nelson has gotten a small amount of useful information.The owner's surname is Chen, male. This woman has a certain relationship with him. They are from the south. This person surnamed Chen is proficient in painting, and judging from the old look of the store, he should have inherited this art shop from generation to generation.In other words, even if he is not here now, the shop owner will always come back here, and he will not give up this shop that has lasted for many years.

On the other side, Sherlock had already found the message that the man wanted to convey through the painting, the two of them met their eyes, and then walked out of the shop one after the other.Not surprisingly, no more text messages came.

On the way back on foot, the two exchanged the information they got with each other. Sherlock quickly explained what he found, and it can be roughly summarized as follows: half a month later, Wang Kee Restaurant.

Wang Kee Restaurant is the most prestigious restaurant in London's Chinatown. There are few targets to look for but there are also too many people making it difficult to distinguish the faces of customers. In the eyes of Westerners, the appearance of Eastern people does not look much different, just like It is as easy to confuse an Easterner as a Westerner.

Judging from the current situation, there will be a period of time in the near future when there will be no contact. Nelson even suspects that if this person does not need enough time to prepare for the things to be done, then he is just playing with them.Of course, if that's the case, Nelson wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

Sherlock is obviously also extremely dissatisfied with the current situation. He always likes to solve the things he wants to figure out in the shortest possible time, but now this person keeps contacting them bit by bit, and when he is about to forget, he takes the risk of After coming out and being guided to a place, nothing happened that aroused his interest.

The impatient Sherlock said to Nelson: "If it's still like this after half a month, it's equivalent to returning without success, then you can just throw away the phone card and never pay attention to this idiot again."

Nelson said with a smile, this is really a good idea.

Mr. Housekeeper had prepared coffee and black tea for them, and after tasting a snack, Nelson took the bus back home.Ah, another point to mention is that Sherlock said before he left that when he came to class the next day, he would like to see the same snacks he had today again.

After returning home, Nelson wrote a diary on the letter paper as usual, and the last sentence ended today with "SH had a pleasant dinner with his tutor".
