"Do you know Sherlock Holmes? Sherlock Holmes."

"Know."

"You know, I've often thought, if only Sherlock Holmes really existed."

"So you want to meet your idol? There are indeed many people who became detectives because of Sherlock Holmes."

"No, I want him to help me find clues, analyze evidence, etc."

"You are already the most successful private detective in the entire Anglican Empire. Do you still need help from Holmes?"

"Ha, well..."

Lu Ke was walking on the street with an ordinary-looking young woman.

This is an ordinary-looking woman. She wears jeans and half-sleeves. She looks very energetic and always has a comfortable smile on her face.

"Few people know how I do things. In fact, the key is to find more people to help me."

"Just like your deposit this time."

"By the way," she turned around and glanced at Lu Ke curiously, "Seriously, I don't even know what to do with that haunted house. Are you really a descendant of a family of spiritual exterminators?"

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head: "You just said, what is the key to what you do?"

The woman smiled blankly and shook her head: "Looking for help? You...you mean?"

Lu Ke nodded: "There are indeed troubles in that haunted house that only special people can solve, but I'm not that kind of person."

The woman smiled with surprise on her face: "So there really is that kind of... hmm?"

Lu Ke looked at her expression with surprise: "Do you believe it?"

The woman smiled and nodded: "You're not lying, and it's not like I haven't seen this kind of thing before. There are always secrets in the world that people don't know yet, right?"

Lu Ke nodded.

He turned and looked left and right.

This was a crossroads he had never known. The alleys on both sides were narrow and dark, extending into the distance.

"Gaunt...this surname is not common."

The woman said while looking up into the distance.

Above the low street houses, one can see the outline of the mountaintop in the distance. There is a tangled forest there, which looks dark.

"See that ravine?"

Lu Ke nodded.

"The Gunter family's old house is there, I know it, but I've been there many times and there are no clues there..."

The woman started walking that way.

Lu Ke followed.

As they walked through the narrow alley, they looked up at the hillside.

"If you have ever stayed in a small town like this, you will know that in that house on the hillside, no matter how lonely the people are, they will inevitably interact with the people below the hillside, and these people will never forget it. "

"What they like most is all the secrets of the masters hidden in the big house, no matter how big or small, whether they are true or false."

As she spoke, the woman stopped on the side of the street.

Lu Ke looked around in surprise.

In fact, he didn't let go of the town below the hillside, but he never thought that the so-called "town" would actually extend to here.

The woman looked at Lu Ke and smiled: "You must be the kind of person who has never lived in this kind of town. You are either from London or from the grasslands somewhere in the north."

Lu Ke sighed with a smile, turned around and looked at both sides of the alley.

"Actually, I'm from the countryside."

The woman glanced at Lu Ke curiously.

Then she turned around and walked to a dilapidated house: "Be polite to the person inside, I know he is very unpleasant."

Then the woman knocked on the door.

The door opened with the sound of cursing, and the person who opened the door was a fat young man who looked like a student: it is summer vacation now.

"Oh, Ms. Watson..."

He looked overjoyed and opened the door.

The woman, Watson, headed inside.

Then she was surprised to find that Lu Ke did not follow.

"gentlemen?"

Lu Ke just shook his head casually: "I think we can just stay here."

Watson was stunned for a moment.

This is different from what I just said.

Lu Ke looked at the young man and shook his head: "Don't let others see the mess you made at home."

The young man was stunned for a moment, but he was unusually lifeless, showing a hint of fear.

Watson understood something almost instantly. She backed out of the door and smiled.

That smile was so natural, it was as if nothing just happened.

"This is the gentleman I told you about. Can you tell him more about your father's story?"

The young man nodded, but there was a clear look of disgust on his face.

That should be for his father.

"There were several lunatics living in the big house on the mountain, but there was a traitor in their family. It was a daughter who secretly ran away with a young master from a wealthy family in the town."

Lu Ke listened casually and had no reaction.

This is all information he already knew.

The young man glanced at Lu Ke and then at Watson.

Watson, of course, looked dissatisfied: she knew exactly who was boss.

The young man quickly speeded up: "My father has seen that woman's illegitimate child. He looked very gloomy, but my father said that he had seen a few footprints, belonging to the illegitimate child, in the cemetery behind our house. "

Watson looked helpless: "Graveyard?"

She shook her head.

Lu Ke is the complete opposite.

"Take us to see it."

The young man shook his head: "This is different from what was promised..."

With a smile on his face, Watson took out a brand new pound from his pocket, and then threw the sharp banknotes on the young man's chest: "Take us there."

The young man grabbed the banknotes and stuffed them into his pocket, then turned and walked towards the door: "Go through my kitchen, that's the fastest."

Lu Ke hesitated for a moment and followed.

The three of them walked through a dark and messy kitchen together. Lu Ke even reached out to help Watson avoid a plate of moldy fried fish, and then climbed out of the window.

This is a cemetery surrounded by houses. It looks like a quiet garden in the midst of chaos.

"Old Tom wanted to dig up the graveyard and turn it into a garden a few years ago, but then he died inexplicably, and no one ever mentioned it again."

The young man opened his arms towards the cemetery. This was an unimportant thing to him. Even if he saw it every day, it was still unimportant.

Lu Ke turned to the young man and nodded: "You can leave."

The young man was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Lu Ke, then looked at Watson: "Remuneration..."

Just when Watson was about to take out the money, Lu Ke raised his hand to stop her: "Give him the money to burn?"

Watson hesitated.

But the young man had already rushed over angrily: "You..."
