I am Watson, a military doctor

He was shot in the shoulder in the Afghan battlefield

He was sent back to London, England to recuperate

In London, I first found a private hotel to stay in.

Here I have no relatives and no reason, I am bored all day, and every day I only have to think about how to spend the allowance.

Soon I found that I seemed to be a bit overwhelmed.

So I decided to leave the hotel and find a cheaper place to stay.

On the day I made my decision, I met an old acquaintance, Little Stanford. He was my assistant. I am very happy. Had lunch with him.

In the dining room, I expressed my intention to rent a cheap house, and coincidentally, he had a friend who was recently looking for a partner to share. This friend of his was Sherlock Holmes.

Sharing a flat can share the cost of the room and solve my financial crisis. And I can have a companion and talk to me occasionally. Perfectly met my needs and was a pie in the sky.

I happily told Stanford that I was going to share a room with Holmes.

Unexpectedly, Stanford was worried that I might not want to spend time with Holmes for long.

Upon my inquiry, Stanford began to introduce me to his friend Holmes.

"He has good character, but he is very obsessed with certain fields of science and often comes up with strange ideas. I can't tell you about his research direction, he is proficient in anatomy and pharmacology, but I think he is not a medical student, and the things he studies are also disorganized and very unpopular. Medical professors are not necessarily clear either.

Chatting with him is not very easy to adapt, it is usually difficult to say a word, but when it comes to the topic he is interested in, he can always say that there is no communication barrier at all..."

Little Stanford's introduction made me curious about Holmes, and I asked him to introduce me, and he said that Holmes must be in the laboratory, where he had been soaking lately, and he could take a car together after eating.

On the way, Stanford kept nagging, in case I and Holmes didn't come, don't blame him. I sensed that he didn't seem to want to meddle in the matter and asked why.

Stanford said

"I think he's so obsessed with science that sometimes he's completely impersonal. Once he actually took out a handful of highly toxic alkaloids that had just been extracted and gave them to his friends to taste. Of course I don't think he's disgusted, just want to study it. For the sake of unmistakable knowledge, I believe he will not hesitate to swallow it himself. ”

"Another time he whipped a corpse in the dissection room with a stick, which I saw with my own eyes, and he actually told me how many wounds the corpse could leave."

After a while, the laboratory arrived, and there was only one person in the room, busy at the table. The man probably heard someone coming, turned his head to look at us, and then ran over with a test tube and shouted , "Found!" I found it! ”

"I found a reagent that can precipitate reactions with hemoglobin," Holmes was excited.

Stanford gave us a brief introduction to the two of us,

Holmes greeted me politely, "Hello! You can tell you just got back from Afghanistan. ”

I was surprised and asked him how he knew?

Holmes did not answer and continued to present his results.

He punctured his fingertips, dripped blood, went to the cup filled with water, and then added a few drops of reagent, and the liquid in the cup instantly turned dark red, and then slowly precipitated some brown powder precipitation. In an age when it is difficult to distinguish between blood stains, this is undoubtedly a major discovery.

He excitedly continued to show us that the old guaiac resin identification method and microscope were not practical, even blood, sludge, and juice were difficult to distinguish, and with Sherlock Holmes identification, it was difficult for hundreds of criminals to get away with it.

Then Holmes bowed, as if there were many spectators around him applauding him.

Holmes has brought us several more cases to which his findings can be applied. I was amazed that he was so familiar with cases everywhere.

When it was finally Stanford's turn to explain his intention to share a room with him, Holmes was interested and confessed to me his shortcomings

Smoking, often doing experiments at home, and not willing to take care of people when they are in a bad mood, but it will not take long for them to get better.

Then he asked me about my shortcomings, and I told him I had a dog, I wasn't in good health, I was lazy, I got up on time, and I couldn't stand the noise.

"Is playing the violin a noise," Holmes asked me uneasily.

"That depends on whether the pull is good or not, the pull is OK, the pull is not good, I can't stand it"

"That's all right," Holmes smiled happily, evidently confident.

(In other words, Einstein seems to have loved to play the violin in addition to research.) ）

After that, we made an appointment tomorrow at twelve o'clock to finalize the matter of sharing the house.

On the way out, I still wondered why Holmes knew that I had returned from Afghanistan, so he asked Little Stanford. Little Stanford looked mysterious and smiled and said, "This is the magic of Holmes, he has the ability to do things like gods, and many people want to explore this mystery." ”

This made me more interested in Sherlock Holmes, and I looked forward to "studying" him in the future when I shared the house.
