Issou didn't understand why Moriarty's ZD blew up, but he was more calm than she was.
Watson didn't quite understand why Shylock didn't leave My Chinese Restaurant after watching Moriarty's fun.
"Shylock, didn't you say you wanted to watch Moriarty's fun?"
Watson, who was pulled out of My Chinese Restaurant by Shylock to investigate the case, asked him curiously. He said,
"Then why are we leaving now?"
"The fun is over."
Shylock answered Watson like this. He said,
"If that's the case, what are we doing here? Wasting time? "
"Done?"
Watson was a little confused. Wasn't it just the beginning? How could it be over?
"The fun we were going to watch was how Moriarty would solve the problem of his identity.
But before he could solve it, someone blew it up for him. "
Shylock looked at Watson.
"His ZD blew up.
Isn't the fun over? "
Watson, "…"
What was the difference between an explanation and not an explanation?
The military doctor, who was still confused, said,
Keep it simple.
The way he spoke was simple.
Watson asked, "Isn't the fun we're going to watch Moriarty explain to Issou?"
Hearing Watson's words, Shylock looked at him.
He said, "Oh, Watson, you have to observe! Observe, understand? Don't just watch. "
He always emphasized this to the military doctor.
"How Moriarty will explain to Issou, and how Issou will react, can be inferred from their expressions and reactions, so there's no need to waste time."
Yes,
Moriarty could come up with no less than ten ways to deal with Issou during the meal.
Shylock could also infer how he would deal with Issou from his reaction, and determine what the explanation would be from Issou's reaction.
In that case, wasn't it natural for Shylock to choose to investigate the case instead of staying at My Chinese Restaurant to watch the crime scene?
Watson heard this and reminded him,
"But we didn't stay with Moriarty when he met Issou.
How do you know how Issou would react? "
"Come on,
Use your empty little head, John. "
Shylock pointed to his head and said to Watson, "From Issou's ability to cook Chinese food after knowing Moriarty's identity, you can tell how Issou's reaction."
Watson, "…"
Sorry.
I didn't have time to think when I was eating Issou's Chinese food.
However, although Watson was a little angry that Shylock used his high IQ to crush him again, when he came to My Chinese Restaurant again and saw how Issou and Moriarty interacted, he felt that …
He deserved to be crushed by his IQ.
Because the current state of Issou and Moriarty was completely in line with Shylock's previous inference.
In this regard, Shylock was not complacent. After all, this was like an ordinary person solving a simple problem like "1 + 1 = 2". It was so easy that it did not evoke a trace of complacency.
But …
Shylock glanced at Watson. He enjoyed the military doctor's admiring gaze.
However, Shylock's joy from Watson's admiration did not last long because after a while, he saw a familiar face appear outside My Chinese Restaurant.
"Uhh, Shylock."
Watson, who also saw the person outside the door, subconsciously straightened his back and said, "Mcauliffe is here."
That's right, the man standing in front of My Chinese Restaurant wearing a three-piece suit and holding a small black umbrella was none other than Shylock's brother —
Mcauliffe Holmes.
"I have eyes, John."
Shylock's relaxed expression instantly became tense. If he had to describe his current state, it would be that he was a soldier about to go to war. "So there's no need to repeat the bad news."
Watson, "…"
Mcauliffe, who had just pushed the door open, did not hear what Shylock said to Watson. But it didn't matter. He could tell from Shylock's facial expression.
The British government official, who flew all the way from London to New York for his brother, walked up to Shylock with a smile on his face. "… I heard that you just solved another strange case for NYPD? It seems that I really underestimated your enthusiasm for public service. "
Hearing Mcauliffe's words, Shylock, who stood up from his chair, looked him in the eye and said, "That's really rare. I can't believe I can see you on New York soil."
Mcauliffe did not care about Shylock's sarcasm. He said, "I'm just here to care about you."
"Thank you, I've received your concern."
Sherlock thanked him, but the expression on his face did not look like he was thanking someone for their concern at all. He said, "So I think you can go home now."
"Don't be like this, Shylock."
Mcauliffe said, "You should know why I'm here."
"Mhmm, I know."
Shylock nodded as if in agreement. He then said, "Did you put on weight recently?"
"No, it's the opposite."
Mcauliffe shook his head. He looked at Shylock and said, "You put on 3kg?"
“No。”
The words that should have come out of his mouth were spoken by Mcauliffe. For some reason, Shylock felt a little awkward. He quickly denied it. "It's just 2.5kg."
Mcauliffe: "It seems that you've been living a good life recently?"
"Yes."
Shylock did not deny it. "The air of freedom always relaxes people a lot."
"By 'air of freedom', do you mean abandoning your principles and colluding with certain people?"
Mcauliffe remembered that he found out that Shylock and Moriarty had teamed up and was so angry that he ate two more desserts. He could not help but say, "Shylock, you remind me of the pig used to find truffles."
Issou: "…!!!"
Wow.
I want to pass him a cup of tea.
Issou, who was sitting at the counter and being forced to talk to by Moriarty, was subconsciously attracted to Mcauliffe after he came in to talk to Shylock.
At first, the black-haired girl did not recognize Mcauliffe. After all, she had never seen the real-life version of Mcauliffe Holmes. Her impression of this character was still stuck in the description of the novel —
He was tall, fat, and even a little clumsy.
So when she saw Mcauliffe, who was wearing a classic and elegant three-piece suit and holding a small black umbrella, Issou did not even think of him as Mcauliffe Holmes. She only thought that this man was really awesome for daring to talk back to Shylock.
It was not until she heard him call Shylock a pig that the black-haired girl realized —
How was this man awesome?
He was so awesome that he could fly, okay?
But when she learned from Moriarty that this man was Shylock's brother, Mcauliffe Holmes, Issou finally understood —
No wonder he was so awesome at talking back to Shylock.
Shylock did not know what Issou was thinking. At this time, his attention was focused on Mcauliffe. After a round of verbal sparring, Shylock heard that Mcauliffe wanted him to go back to London with him, but Shylock refused.
He said, "Seeing that Gray has been running errands for you for so long, you should be kind enough to give him a long vacation."
"I think if Inspector Lestrade knew that you called his name correctly, he would be very happy, and …"
Mcauliffe looked at Shylock and said, "Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"
"No."
Shylock raised an eyebrow. "He's not working for me."
Mcauliffe said, "He's not working for me either."
Hearing this, Shylock snorted, but Mcauliffe pretended not to see it. He continued, "But Shylock, you have to know how much trouble you'll cause if you stay in New York."
"You're the one who'll cause trouble for others."
Shylock expressed his refusal to take the blame. "I've been in New York for so long, and nothing has happened."
"You and Moriarty have already teamed up, and you still call that nothing has happened?"
Mcauliffe did not dare to imagine what would happen if he continued to let Shylock, who was only teaming up with Moriarty to hide his whereabouts, do. After all, his brother was an alien who would die if he did not take risks.
Besides, there was something that Mcauliffe did not understand …
"The criminals in New York are more pleasing to you than the criminals in London?"
Hearing Mcauliffe's words, Shylock, who controlled his facial expression, did not control the surprise that rose in his heart. He did not believe that Mcauliffe could not find out what he did in New York other than investigating the case.
But now, listening to his tone …
He really did not seem to know what he did in New York other than investigating the case.
"No."
Shylock knew who could and would take the initiative to help him hide from Mcauliffe. There was no one else other than Moriarty.
Thinking of how he was slapped in the face by Moriarty (and Issou) when he first came to "my Chinese restaurant", he suddenly smiled at Mcauliffe and said, "It's just that the food in New York is more appetizing than the food in London."
