The path of genius evolution

A person's life is always complete after experiencing some twists and turns.Even a plain-looking old man may have experienced a heroic incident when she was young, and then people knew about the incident at that time, such as Jack's rose.

"Hey, to be honest, Sophia." Scott walked up to the attic with a flashlight, "Even if I went, I might not be able to help you catch that girl in white who was swinging on a swing and wandering like an elf among the bookshelves. Be a private eye, not an exorcist.

The girl known as Sophia lives in the same community as Scott, she lives very close to Scott, and fell in love with this young handsome blonde guy at first sight, saying that she would marry him after graduating from college.

Scott couldn't laugh or cry.

Seeing him, the pretty girl with blond hair was unwilling, and even asked his neighbor, the genius doctor speReid, to vouch for her.

Knowing this, Reid nodded: "Sophia will be a good wife."

Sophia triumphantly hugged Scott's calf and shook: "Look, Reid said that."

Reid is very popular and prestigious among the children nearby. He can use the simplest method to solve the math problems posed by their smartest people. He can also hold a little girl and let her get the balloon.

"Before you came, Scott, my ideal husband was Reid." Sophia said confidently.

Scott looked at the five-year-old girl who wasn't even around his waist, and finally understood the schadenfreude in Reid's eyes when he heard that a little girl named Sophia liked him.

Right now, Scott, as a private detective, is executing his second commission after coming to the United States.

Sophia's father is the owner of a bookstore. Her family's bookstore is very large, with three floors in total.Including the attic is the fourth floor, but the attic is generally not visited.

The strange place is here, it is obviously an attic where no one goes, but Sophia saw a girl in white clothes swinging on a swing inside.But none of the adults believed her words, and even the little friends felt that this eccentric little girl was lying. Sophia can only ask Scott for help. Her commission fee is a few candies, bought with her pocket money for a day.

"It's okay, as long as you can see it." Sophia licked her candy and said, "I just want to prove that I didn't read wrong or lie."

"This proof is really expensive."

"I think so too. I spent all my candy for the day." Of course, Sophia couldn't hear the helplessness in Scott's words, and she thought he was complimenting her.

But aren't those candies in your pocket right now? Scott clearly realized that arguing with a little girl who is not yet six years old is a stupid behavior. He just thought about this sentence and didn't say it to him.

"Don't you adults find it strange? Why would someone go up to the attic where there is no one there?" Sophia looked at Scott's back and asked curiously.

Scott smiled slightly: "Don't allow others to go up, didn't you go up? Now you have pushed me up, I guess your friends are playing a game of courage."

"That's because... oh we're here." Sophia's words were interrupted by the fact that the ground was flat and clean.

It seems that the place is well maintained, even though the owner doesn't allow people to come in, he still cleans it regularly.

There are also books in the attic, but they are all relatively rare collector's editions, some of which Scott has never read.Frankly speaking, his knowledge of literature is quite small.

There was a small sound of walking on the floor, Scott turned off the flashlight, and gave it to the elf: "Sophia, you stay here and don't move, if you find someone bad, you will yell. I'll go in and see what's going on. "

Sophia nodded with half understanding.

But the footsteps were getting smaller and smaller, and Scott didn't have time to check if Sophia understood.He cautiously approached the source of the sound, walked around several shelves, and saw a person walking slowly through the gap between the books and the shelves.

Scott carefully walked around from behind, and suddenly appeared from the front when the other party walked to another aisle: "Who?!"

The other party was startled by him, took a big step back and bumped into the bookshelf.

Fortunately, the bookshelves are fixed to the floor, so there is no toppling effect like dominoes.

"Reid?" Scott was surprised to see his neighbor here, he thought Reid went to work for the fbi.

"Why are you here, Scott?" Reid looked more surprised than he was, "Aren't people usually not allowed to come up here?"

Scott stepped aside to let Reid lean on the bookshelf without being defensive: "Sophia said that she saw a ghost in the attic, so please let me come up and take a look. She's staying over there by the stairs now, and I'll go and bring her over."

"I come here often, why don't I see any ghosts?" Reid had a blank expression on his face, as if thinking about why sophia could see but he couldn't.

Scott looked at Reid's expression, and couldn't bear to tell him that in Sophia's eyes, he was the ghost.He didn't say anything, just went to the stairs and picked up the little princess who was holding a flashlight and licking a lollipop: "Sophia, it seems that we are not lucky today. Miss Ghost in white clothes is not here, only wearing Reid in the knitwear is reading in it."

Sophia said, not surprised at all: "Oh, I can imagine, Reid likes to read. Is that why he is so smart?"

"I don't know, but you can ask him yourself." Scott said with a smile.

Sophia rolled her eyes, and when she saw Reid, he had already put away the book, waiting for her with a smile on his face.Raising her head, Sophia blinked her big pure eyes: "Reid, are you so smart because you read a lot of books?"

Reid and Scott exchanged a smiling look at each other, and sophia, who is a big kid, can bring a lot of laughter.He squatted down and stroked Sophia's hair: "Reading books can indeed help people acquire more knowledge, so little Sophia should read more books in the future."

I don’t know if Sophia listened to the second half of the sentence, but she understood the first half very clearly: "Scott, did you hear that? You should read more in the future, in case you are stupid enough to know nothing when I marry you." What can we do then?"

"..." Scott could only smirk.

Reid couldn't help laughing: "If that's the case, little Sophia, you will suffer."

"It doesn't matter, Reid is so smart anyway." Scott took advantage of the situation to push the trouble on him: "A community doesn't need so many smart people, we just have Reid. If there is anything that can't be solved, go directly to Just ask Reid."

Sophia thought for a long time, then nodded, and said childishly: "Scott is right."

Reid, who was pulled into the water, could only apologize.

After finally making Sophia happy, it was almost time for dinner.

"Let's eat nearby. I remember that the western restaurants here are highly rated." After walking out of the bookstore, Scott let out a long sigh of relief.Playing with children is fun, but it takes a lot of energy to meet someone as big and sensitive as Sophia.

Reid looked at his sweater, then at Scott's casual jacket: "Do you think it's appropriate for us to go to a western restaurant dressed like this?"

"You still understand these..." Scott's tone was astonished, as if he had discovered some terrible secret.

Reid was not angry, he stroked his bangs back, with a small smile on his face: "Then what do you think I should know, and what should I not know?"

"You will understand some issues that many people can't understand in a lifetime, such as making jokes about quantum mechanics, and understand some cold knowledge that science experts don't know. But relatively, you don't even know the stars in the major leagues." Scott Almost without thinking.

Reid gave him a blink of an eye. "Absolutely. People don't tend to laugh with me, though, when I tell jokes."

Scott imagined the scene, and he couldn't help but patted Ried on the shoulder: "I understand, it's like an artist and a mathematician talking, and it's normal that they can't understand each other."

"Mathematics and art are not absolutely separated, and Da Vinci embodies this very well." Ried retorted subconsciously, and then he realized that his attitude was too fierce, and Rid bowed his head a little embarrassedly: "Sorry , Scott. I just feel like, sometimes, I feel like I'm in a different world from people. Even at bau, they often just want my conclusions and not much interest in how I came to them."

Scott looked at Reid's downcast side face, wondering where his inferiority complex came from.He patted Reid on the back. "Put your chest out, Reid."

"..." Reid still didn't say a word, but he did straighten his back as Scott said.Of course, he might have looked better if he hadn't stretched his nerves.

"It's not like that, Reid." Scott organized his words, "Imagine, if it was an unfamiliar person, would you interrupt his conversation with you?"

Reid shook his head: "Out of politeness, I wouldn't do such a thing."

"So no one wants to be rude to strangers, but in bau, everyone treats you as a friend." Scott lowered his voice and spoke slowly, his tone was very pleasant, "They don't know what you're talking about, so They just want the results. Isn’t that the pinnacle of trust when they trust your judgment even though they don’t know how you came to it?”

Maybe Reid himself didn't realize it. Many times his explanations are not to show off how rich his knowledge is, but he just wants others to believe the truth of this conclusion.

"Besides, people from two worlds, in my opinion, this is just a barrier drawn by a lonely genius who is unwilling to communicate with ordinary people." Scott showed Reid a relaxed smile.

"Eh?"

Scott put Reid's shoulders, tilted his head and glanced at him: "Everyone has areas that they don't understand, because you have gone farther than ordinary people in many aspects, but this does not mean that you have no communication at all. Ried, You only enlarged that distance because you are too sharp and too smart, but you and this world are completely one. Do you want me to prove it to you?"

"How to prove it?" Although Reid understood most of what Scott said, he still benefited a lot.So he was a little curious about what he was going to do with Scott's proposal.

Stopping in his tracks, Scott took him to face the western restaurant just mentioned. There were two waiters in tuxedos standing at the door, head to toe.

"Dinner is here."

Scott and Reid are about to enjoy their dinner, but 221b Baker Street, London, five time zones away, is chaos.

"Sherlock, it's almost here, why aren't you sleeping!?" Dr. Waston wiped his face wearily with his hands, God knows how much he wants to give the world's only consultant detective, who is more broken than a punk, to Mr. Throwing downstairs, the whole Baker Street was so troubled by him that he couldn't sleep.

Sherlock's deep blue eyes looked charming in the light from the window, but what he said was completely different: "I haven't had a case in three weeks! Case! Interesting case! Seriously Watson , Where did you put my cigarettes? I'm really going crazy! How can you sleep peacefully on such a boring night?!"

Watson began to consider the possibility of dropping him: "Normal people can sleep on nights like this."

"As you said, I'm not an ordinary person, Watson." Sherlock immediately excused.

"Then why don't you consider investigating this matter again?" Mycroft's voice sounded in the darkness.

Only then did Watson realize that there was another person in the room. He held his head and sighed: "God bless, you are still here."
