Sherlock Holmes' Neighborhood 221C

Wu Zhen put away the sun umbrella, pushed open the transparent glass door of the clinic, and immediately felt a gust of cool air rushing towards his face.The nurse at the front desk was looking through the medical records. When she saw Wu Zhen coming in, she said hello, "Really, you are here. Dr. Mortimer is waiting for you."

"Or the one from last time?"

"Yes, don't worry, I will fill in the records for you."

"Thank you!"

Wu Zhen knocked on the door, and a soft voice came from the door: "Come in."

Wu Zhen opened the door, and saw Hadley standing at the door with bare feet, with open arms, blinking at her.Wu Zhen immediately opened her arms and went to hug him. Hadley threw herself on Wu Zhen, hugged her tightly, and rubbed her head against her abdomen—for a ten-year-old child, he was a bit short.Fortunately, she is short and delicate, with an SD doll-like face, thick long eyelashes, and soft hair of honey color.No one sees such a child and doesn't like it from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Zhen knelt down and gave Hadri a face-to-face salute. Hadri's long eyelashes brushed Wu Zhen's cheeks, tickling.

Wu Zhen smiled and pinched Hadley's little nose, jokingly said: "Hadley's eyelashes are so long, can you give some to my sister?" Dr. Mortimer was smiling happily behind the desk, she was very happy to see Such a happy scene, especially Hadley does not reject it, and such a relationship of trust is good for his recovery.

Hadley underwent treatment in Denmark for two years before moving to the UK where she took over.She has tried various methods, but now it seems that Wu Zhenyi's efforts have not worked.

"Okay." Hadley blinked and answered seriously.

Wu Zhen took Hadri's hand and placed him on the seat.Start your day with psychotherapy.

......

At the end of the day's treatment, Hadley grabbed Wu Zhen's clothes, sat on the seat and raised his face and said, "Really, I want to invite you to my house."

Dr. Mortimer agreed with a smile: "It is also helpful for treatment."

Dr. Mortimer had talked to her before, and since Hadley liked her, let her tolerate him like a sister next door and open her heart, which would be helpful for his later treatment.A trusted doctor is better than a doctor who is wary.Dr. Mortimer has been in this profession for no less than 15 years, and has achieved a lot. He is very rational and calm in seeing people and doing things, but sometimes he can't help but seem impersonal.

Wu Zhen readily agreed.

Hadley has an exclusive driver, and the car that picks him up is not conspicuous, and even the place to park the car is chosen in an inconspicuous corner that is easy to turn out of the parking lot.

Thanks to Tommy Kauf, after several "kidnappings" between voluntary and involuntary, Wu Zhen has developed a skill: distinguishing characters' temperament.This is a very important skill, just like the temperament of the Sherlock Holmes brothers is not pure temperament, it is temperament + momentum + danger + hidden turbulence + occasional contempt for goldfish.

It's very complicated, but by virtue of a person's temperament, it is basically possible to judge what kind of person he is and what kind of things he has experienced.

This tall driver looked very well-trained and muscular. After getting into the car, he didn't say a word and concentrated on his work.

Hadley is not a talkative person either. After getting in the car, he lowered his head and concentrated on looking at his fingertips.He showed Wu Zhen from time to time, but he never made a slight sound.

After driving for a while, the vehicle turned into the villa area.

Regarding Hadley's family background, Wu Zhen has always held a skeptical attitude.

When I was filling in the information, Hadley’s parents’ occupation column was filled in as a chemistry teacher.Both his parents are chemistry teachers, but no matter what the teachers in the UK are, it is impossible for them to live in such a luxurious villa area for the rich.Hadley's parents are not like the rich second generation who came out to live alone.

Doubts are doubts, it is impossible for Wu Zhen to ask Hadri, this little boy has always given Wu Zhen a soft impulse to protect him.Wu Zhen once felt that his latent maternal glory had exploded.

Again, even if Hadley asked, he would not say that silence was his best protection.

The driver got out of the car, opened the door next to Hadley, and Hadley got out.Wu Zhen got off from the other side.The house in front of him was a small three-storey villa, the door was a brown gate with an animal head carved on the bronze knocker, Wu Zhen vaguely felt that the animal head looked familiar.

Hadley took out the key, opened the door, and saw the entire first floor, with a huge sofa in the middle, a large-screen TV, and no other furniture.The house, clean and clean, was almost empty except for necessities.

Hadley took Wu Zhen's hand and walked up the spiral staircase: "Really, I'll play the piano for you."

"Okay."

Hadley walked without haste.

"Why aren't your parents here?"

"I don't want them back."

"Are they busy?"

"No, it's just that I don't want them to come back. They don't come back," Hadley said.

There is a black lacquered piano on the second floor which is well maintained.The situation on the second floor is the same as the first floor, except for some necessary large ornaments, there is nothing else, and some trivial daily-use items are almost gone.

"I'll play the piano for you." Hadley raised a smiling face, sat on the piano chair, opened the piano cover solemnly, brushed a row of keys lightly with his fingers, like a warrior wiping the edge of a sword.

"All ears."

Hadley took a deep breath, tapping on the keys with his short fingers, extremely flexible.

It is a melodious "Dawn".

Wu Zhen was overjoyed immediately, she was very familiar with this song, it was "Dawn" which she had practiced hundreds of times.

Wu Zhen has won prizes in international piano competitions. Hadley's "Dawn" can be said to be beyond the level of his age, very fluent.At this moment, Hadley was immersed in the world of piano music.

For a ten-year-old, he was just too sad and brilliant.A genius not understood by anyone, Wu Zhen thought of Sherlock.Did he also feel sad when he was not understood when he was a child?

Um......

If you think about it, it's actually not realistic.

As far as the Holmes brothers occasionally talk about their childhood deeds, their superiority in IQ is beyond ordinary people, and it is kindness not to bully others and cry.

Sure enough, there is a difference between genius and genius.

After Hadley received the last note, he put his sword into its sheath.

Hadley asked expectantly, "Are you happy?"

"It's my honor to hear such a beautiful piece of music." Wu sincerely said.

Hadley smiled brightly.

Wu Zhen asked, "Did you sleep well recently?"

"is acceptable."

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"No." Hadley sat on the piano bench, his toes were not touching the ground, his legs were dangling, and the leather shoes on his feet touched the stool with his rhythm. "But my friend had a nightmare."

friend?Hadley's introverted personality actually made friends, which is a good thing.Wu Zhen asked kindly, "What nightmare did your friend have?"

Hadley shook his head, and did not intend to speak again.

"Let me tell you a fairy tale first, no, guess a riddle. Listen carefully—once there was a sea, and a fisherman was fishing by the sea, but he couldn't catch any fish. Then he prayed God, this is the last time he draws his net, and if he doesn't catch any more fish, he'll just starve."

Hadley paused here and reorganized the words.

"Sure enough, when he caught the net for the last time, he salvaged a bottle. The seal of Solomon was engraved on the bottle cap, and it looked very valuable. The fisherman wanted to see if there was anything in the bottle and sell it for money. .And then guess what, he unleashes a demon."

"The devil said that he was going to kill the fisherman. He also said the following passage: During the 100 years that he was trapped in Solomon's seal, if someone came to rescue him, he would give him a lot of gold and silver. In the 200th year of being trapped, it made a wish to give all its underground treasures to the person who saved it. In the 300th year of being trapped, it made a wish to kill the person who saved it.”

At this point in the story, Wu Zhen could see that Hadley did not intend to continue the story.

Hadley asked: "So, why do you think the demon killed the man who saved it in the 300th year?"

"Extreme hopelessness followed by extreme hope."

Hadley was taken aback for a moment, his lowered eyes were wondering what he was thinking, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his baby fat face.

"You said the same thing as that man." Hadley said silently, "but I don't understand what it means."

"You don't understand."

"what?"

"This is too painful to understand, don't understand."

Hadley stopped talking again, and sat silently on the small sofa.
