When Haina brought little Sherlock home, her mother blocked her at the door of the blacksmith shop before she even entered the back room.
She slapped herself in front of her nose, her brows furrowed and her expression changed, "You took the guests to the swamp."
Hey
Haina was stunned. After a moment, he realized that he was smelling of the swamp.
Sherlock on the side sighed appropriately.
Hey, didn’t you realize what you were sighing about?
Haina was somewhat dissatisfied.
But now she is no longer the immature girl she was when she just graduated. In the few months of communicating with those people who make troublesome logic circles, Haina has mastered the ability to follow what others say. The professional skill of making up lies.
Of course, it may also be the subtle influence of Aiwass.
Now that she has had more contact with her, Haina finally realized that Aiwass really likes to lie.
When she first met Aiwass, I don’t know how much of what he said is true
But it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, he is now Minister Aiwass. Even if it is false it can be true.
Haina's mind was spinning with thoughts, and then she said without changing her expression, "I miss my childhood. I loved going there to play when I was a kid."
"It's very dangerous there. I know it is a restricted area in the village."
Haina's mother frowned, "What if you fall in? It's a poisonous swamp."
"Hey, can't you fall?" I'm familiar with that side of the swamp." Haina laughed and pretended not to care about it. "I went there every two days when I was a child, and I never saw any danger. There is no danger, and Arthur Xia must be fine. The kid is light, and I’m watching him.”
She almost forgot that Sherlock’s name was Arthur Conan Doyle.
But as expected, her deliberately casual attitude attracted her mother's attention.
Haina's mother immediately ignored what they were going to do in the swamp, and thought that she was just looking for excitement on purpose.
Her eyes suddenly widened and her voice raised to a higher level, "Even if you may not be able to fall down, what if you are attacked by the undead over there in the swamp and miss the mark? You just go to a dangerous place to play by yourself." That’s all, you’re bringing such a young guest with you. He’s so grown up, so you should know something better, Haina.”
Her incessant scolding lasted for who knows how long.
Anyway, Haina smiled innocently throughout the whole process, with an attitude that goes in one ear and out the other, like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
The scolding finally ended when Sherlock yawned for the second time.
"Hi, it's true"
She ended with these words, and then touched Sherlock's hair with some distress, "It's hard to be carried around by her, isn't it?" I'm not scolding you.You should find a place to sit down first.
"I'm going to get you some fruit, grapes, okay?"
Then she let go of the door that was blocked by herself.
After Haina's mother left completely, Sherlock said leisurely, "It seems that the forgiveness period for someone to come home has ended."
"You should praise me for my quick response. ."
Haina was half complaining and half proud, "You didn't realize that the swamp smelled."
"Yes, I didn't realize it. "
Sherlock said casually, "Whatever you think, but the information I want to collect is already available."
"Information"
"Yes. , this is your mother’s reaction when she sees us going to the swamp. This can determine whether she is aware of the situation in the swamp, and in turn can infer whether the local people’s attitude towards the swamp is aware of what this forbidden land means.”
Sherlock narrowed his eyes. "Now it seems that one thing can be confirmed. That is that locals and outsiders have different perceptions of this matter.
"If they really regard the swamp as a forbidden land , then it would be impossible for your mother to save Mr. Magnetic Hammer. Because she had no chance to come into contact with the swamp, when she learned that we were going to the swamp, her attitude was very nervous and her tone became cold.
“But when you said you were just going for a stroll, she relaxed, and even before we mentioned the undead, she took the initiative to say that there were undead in the swamp. If we If you don’t meet the undead, you may be curious and look back to check the situation after hearing her words.
“This is a simple psychological behavior when the prisoner is being interrogated in order to hide a bigger mistake. Will choose to proactively expose some minor errors. In this process, their attitude is quite positive, and their purpose is to attract the attention of others. This kind of attitude often means that the other party is hiding more.
"You are like this, and so is your mother."
Sherlock raised his head and glanced at Haina coldly, "I know, the supervisors of Avalon are used to it. Use violent methods such as confinement, torture, intimidation, and the use of legal techniques to force others to tell the truth, or even directly search memories to obtain the truth. But if you want to go higher, you must try to master some additional skills such as psychology. .
"The Overseers of Avalon are different from the policemen of Star Antimony and Iris. You have trained extensively in combat subjects such as swordsmanship, riding, and individual tactics in school, as well as trained in multiple languages in order to improve your extraordinary skills in the future, but you are very lacking in training in various criminal investigation techniques. I will propose this matter to Minister Aiwass later. Wangli University of Law needs to add a few more courses. "
"Add it. ”
Haina said without thinking, “I have graduated anyway, so let’s add a few more courses to them.” "
"What are you thinking about?" Little Sherlock sneered, "You have to learn it after graduation. ”
“Eh”
HaiNa wailed, then thought of something, and tried to change the subject to escape reality. "By the way, what have you tried?"
"This kind of evasion often means that the prisoner is guilty. Because he can't bear it, it gradually increases." Under psychological pressure, he will take the initiative to say something, so he will tend to be talkative and take the initiative to lead the conversation."
Sherlock responded coldly, and then explained, "This explains two things. One thing. First, your mother knows a lot of secrets, which are deeper than the undead in the swamp, and may even be related to the appearance of your father.
"Second, she has not received any systematic training. , and also lacks sufficient vigilance and discernment. This shows that she is not a professional, but a real villager. These two things are enough.
"This shows that the anomalies in Yingjia Village are not natural. This tradition is man-made, and the person's behavior is beneficial to them, or the person himself is kind to them. According to the previous Clues, I highly suspect that this person is Aiwass's grandfather Jacob."
Sherlock analyzed.
Soon, Haina’s mother came back.
They took the fruit and went to chat with the magnetic hammer.
Magic Hammer obviously had a good impression of Aiwass. Hearing that Aiwass was going for a walk, he felt a little regretful that he didn't call him.
"It's time for me to take him to play"
Chammer slapped his thigh and casually scolded Haina's brother Jack, "Why don't you call me that brat?" Get up"
"Ah"
Jack on the side looked confused.
And Sherlock just said in that childish voice, "Brother Aiwass is not going to play, he is going to investigate his grandfather's affairs."
"Jacob I also know about it."
Qi Shui shook his head, "Why didn't he ask me yesterday? He could only say that he was too happy to drink. When he comes back tonight, we can talk while drinking. You guys should I have to stay here for a few days."
Sherlock and Haina looked at each other, and Haina paused in silence for a few seconds before finally reacting.
She quickly replied, "Ah, yes, they have to stay for a few more days. But it's hard to say how long they can stay. Dad, why don't you just talk to us directly? I don't know Grandpa Jacob yet." What’s the story?”
“Don’t you know? You don’t know. You are too young.”
Chammer said disapprovingly, “Grandpa Jacob is amazing. I came late, but I know one thing that your grandfather Jacob came here when he was in his twenties.
"At that time, he helped to renovate all the houses in this village. Covered and extremely strong. He also built the road, and even our house was built with his help. "
"He is also an architect." Sherlock was stunned for a moment.
"No, he is a ritualist. "
The dwarf magnetic hammer said seriously, "But the ritual he mastered is very powerful. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen it.The ritual of building a house. I also want to learn from him and build a house in the countryside when I return to my hometown. But then he shied away a few times, and I gave up. After all, even if he taught me, I might not be able to learn it.
"It's nice to stay here. I'm so carefree that I don't want to go back. Besides, what will happen to you two siblings when I go back?"
Magnetic Hammer He took a grape and threw it into his mouth, and said casually, "He is a very serious person. I don't know if you have seen from above that the houses in Yingjia Village are very well decorated and neat. It is a very standard circle." The shape is filled with a lot of geometric patterns.
“It’s like a ritual array. ”
