Chapter 146 Safe

Over the next hour, Sherlock got up three more times, back and forth.

The longest time is half an hour, and the shortest time is only 7 minutes
During this period, only Hopkins completed one case file, and then walked over to get the next one, while the rest of them were still working hard on the first one in their hands.

In fact, this is the normal rhythm, because the case files collected by the School of Life Sciences cannot be the kind of petty theft, they must be extremely difficult types, and it must have gone through a long time during the initial investigation. Only by gathering countless clues can a little bit of useful information be extracted. In addition, there are cases in various regions and at various times, and the social system and various factors at that time must be brought into consideration.

In short, even reading it takes a lot of time, let alone solving it.

Therefore, it only took Hopkins an hour and a half to complete a case file, which can already be called a genius among geniuses.

As for the private eye from London
To be honest, 99% of the people present doubted whether this guy didn't understand the exam rules.

Finally, after another half an hour, when Sherlock got up again to get another copy, someone couldn't stand it anymore, and came over with a frown and said in a low voice:
"Hello, I think I should remind you that if you feel that the case files you are taking are not suitable for you, please put the one in your hand back to its original place, and then take another one. After all, you are not good at solving cases. type, doesn’t mean other people aren’t good at it either.”

His tone was still polite, but there was also displeasure, because in his eyes, Sherlock's behavior had already affected the normal process of the exam.

But Sherlock just cast a slightly puzzled look:

"I've solved it all."

".what?"

"I've settled those few copies. There are many more here. It should be enough for you to share. Don't worry." He smiled politely, and then felt very public awareness that he always stood up like this and went back and forth. It is true that he disturbed other people's thinking a bit, so he was very qualified, and he directly picked up half a stack of files and walked back to his seat. Immediately afterwards, he crossed his legs and walked towards the sofa chair. Leaned up. Then he spread out a case file and read it like a morning newspaper.

When the person who reminded him saw this, he exhaled a few deep breaths, walked back suppressing the anger in his heart, and then forcibly turned his attention back to the case.

In fact, he himself didn't know why he was angry.

The behavior of that London private detective is obviously extremely ridiculous, and with such a huge number of cases, even if he is asked to take a few copies and not return them, it will not affect anything. In the end, the guy can only be kicked in disgrace line up the candidates.

Forget it, he shouldn't be distracted by this grandstanding behavior. So, he shook his head and stopped talking to Sherlock.

For the rest of the time, because there was no Sherlock walking around, the whole lounge finally entered a normal assessment rhythm. Some people finally got the first case, and some people finally admitted that they were not good at it. Type, the method of replacing the case file was adopted.

Hopkins, as the person who has attracted much attention, is naturally the one with the fastest pace. Almost the longest time-consuming part can be completed within two hours, and every time he gets up, he will welcome many people. look sideways.

On the other hand, Sherlock, because he came back with a stack of case files, he didn't get up for a long time. He just sat by and read by himself. Gradually submerged in the tense atmosphere of the exam, naturally no one paid attention to him anymore.

Until the time came to 11:[-] in the evening
Suddenly, the door of the lounge was pushed open.

Everyone in the room was slightly startled, looked at the clock, and found that the time hadn't come yet, so they looked at the door with a little peace of mind.

Immediately, I saw a person walking in with a stack of papers, that person went straight to the staff in the corner of the room, whispered something in his ear, then handed over the paper in his hand, and walked out Room.

The staff member looked at the few pieces of paper in his hand, and didn't know what kind of mood he was holding. In short, he frowned. Then, he came to the middle of the lounge and said apologetically:

"Sorry everyone, there is still half an hour left before the end of the original screening time, but according to the temporary decision of the committee, the time is extended to two o'clock in the morning, and"

As he spoke, he raised the stack of papers in his hand: "And add another test."

As soon as the words came out, the expressions of the people in the lounge also changed. They probably thought of many possibilities that could benefit or harm them, but the staff member immediately added:
"Please rest assured that the original test content will still end at [-]:[-] midnight, and from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning, only the additional test part will be carried out. Even those who do not want to participate in the additional test can leave at any time. Go to the prepared hotel to rest. As for those who took the test a few days ago, we will conduct the same additional test tomorrow morning, and there will be no unfair review.

The final approval or failure will be announced at noon tomorrow. "

As he said that, the man sent the additional test questions in his hand to everyone present.

And those who got the additional test questions also frowned, and some even couldn't understand, so they turned over the paper to see if there were any notes on the back.

However, there was nothing. The so-called additional test questions were actually just a photo printed on paper.

The photo shows a safe sitting quietly on the floor, and nothing else.

"Well, I would like to ask, what is the topic of this additional test?"

A person hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"The picture shows a safe, please find the password of the safe," said the staff member.

"Oh." The tester was still a little puzzled: "Is there no hint?"

"No, for some reason, we can't provide any more clues, only this photo of the safe. As for who it belongs to, where it is placed, what is inside, etc., we have no comment.

Then, please pay attention to the assessment time, I will not bother you. "

After finishing speaking, the man went back to the corner of the lounge as a statue, leaving only a room full of people who couldn't figure out what was going on. Look at me, I look at you, no one seems to understand, why suddenly Come up with such a weird extra test question.

Only Sherlock was frowning slightly, looking at the safe in the photo in silence, and gradually, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, it's finally an interesting topic."

Because in front of his eyes, a line of information has clearly emerged.

This line of information includes the model of the safe, the date of manufacture, and the name of its owner
【Charles Darwin】

【Dean of the Academy of Life Sciences, founder of the controllable theory of wild demons; founder of the contractor's autonomous evolution system; member of the Demon Farm Council.】
