"A contradictory person?" Kayson asked doubtfully.
"Although Voldemort is a beast, the worst of the beasts, I suspect that he may desperately need a female character, to the point that he is deeply conflicted when he learns that his name, Tom Riddle, comes from his mother."
"On the one hand, perhaps it's because he thinks too highly of himself. After all, you said before that his mother is an ordinary person, while he is a wizard. He looks down on his mother and hates him. But on the other hand," Holmes took a sip of water and continued.
"On the other hand, because of his orphaned childhood, he longed for a parent to shelter him from the wind and rain, and this desire was hidden in his subconscious. So much so that even years later, when he killed his own biological parent, it still remained in his subconscious."
"So?" Kayson asked, "What's the basis?"
"If he needs a new name, wouldn't it be better to just come up with a new one? Why keep the original name and just rearrange it? Wouldn't it be better to have a completely new name, and the new name might even sound better than the current one..."
After saying "here," Holmes swallowed hard, then shrugged, raised his hands to his shoulders, and said in a gruff voice, "Ah, I am Voldemort. That name sounds stupid."
Kayson was amused by Holmes's suggestion of an outstanding exercise, then he regained his composure. "So, what else is needed?"
"And then there's the fact that we're really curious why you're even less humorous than Sherlock," Peanut retorted.
"Being a teacher drains people's spirits, you two detective freelance bastards don't understand," Kayson said miserably.
"Let's get back to the main point. I really don't believe you haven't had a single clue in all this time. For example, why did you all talk about that so-called 'chemical item' and draw that conclusion? Even if that's a clue, tell me about it." Holmes became serious again.
"He is extremely arrogant and thinks highly of himself, considering himself a god. Therefore, ordinary things are not qualified to become his Horcrux. So, the things that can become his Horcrux are all very valuable or have sentimental significance to him." After saying this, Kayson pondered for a moment before speaking.
"For example, this is one of the original principals of our school. It was one of her relics, and it was one of Voldemort's Horcrux not long ago."
As he spoke, he released the Hufflepuff's Cup that was hidden inside the wine jug and showed it to the two of them.
"Wow, this doesn't look cheap," Peanut exclaimed.
"I'm more interested in what's so magical about this golden cup?" Holmes subtly digressed.
"Oh, it's able to produce a continuous stream of fine wine," Kayson explained.
Holmes nodded. "Indeed, it suits you perfectly." Then he continued, "So you now believe that his next Horcrux might be a relic of one of the other Founders of your school?"
Kayson nodded. "To be precise, he has already ruined the relics of two of Founders four Founders. I estimate that the third Founders's relic is also one of his Horcrux."
"So the third relic is..."
"Have no idea."
Holmes slumped back on the sofa and then jumped up. "That's why I think you're acting like you're crazy, but I'm polite. Let's talk about your third Founders, is he male or female?"
"Female."
"Well, let's assume this female creator goddess loved beauty, and what would this lady's belongings be? Let's just guess, how about a precious piece of jewelry?" Holmes wrote slowly on the paper.
"You're the expert in this area, so listen to me."
"You should listen to me," Holmes said softly, then looked up again. "So-called relics and inheritances are ultimately meant to be passed down to that lady's descendants. We need to investigate this lady. It's a bit strange to say that. What's her name?"
" Lady Ravenclaw."
"Yes, we need to investigate the descendants of Lady Ravenclaw. Did any of her descendants die mysteriously after Voldemort was born and acquired basic combat abilities nearly a century ago?" Holmes continued.
"Hmm... she only has one daughter, who is now a ghost of Hogwarts, with no other living descendants." Kayson said with a hint of helplessness, thinking of Ravenclaw's ghost.
"In that case, our reasoning is both simple and difficult. It's simple because Lady Ravenclaw has no living descendants, so her belongings must be in the school she founded, which is Hogwarts Castle. Moreover, we might be able to pinpoint the time more precisely— Voldemort's time at Hogwarts, and what the school system was?"
"Seven years."
"OK! The crime occurred during those seven years!" Holmes excitedly punched the sofa and continued speaking.
"But the difficulty is that there are no bizarre deaths... not counting the toilet murder case you asked me to deduce last time, that was probably just pure bad luck."
"Since there was no specific death, it is impossible to pinpoint a specific spatial or temporal location. All we can know is that he obtained Lady Ravenclaw's relic at Hogwarts and turned it into Horcrux."
"However, this cannot be said to be an absolute difficulty. Sometimes, having no clues is the most difficult clue."
"You don't know what relic Voldemort stole, which means you yourselves don't know where that relic is hidden, right?" Holmes said all this in one breath, then took a big gulp of coffee.
"That's right. We don't know either." Kayson shrugged.
"That's right! An artifact that even a school doesn't know about must be in some remote, secluded place where such a precious relic has been buried by time for so long. Now you just need to go back to Hogwarts and search those remote, secluded places, those mysterious places that even you yourselves don't know about. You'll definitely find clues there!" Holmes said firmly.
"Is there anything else?" Kayson was completely engrossed in the conversation and subconsciously followed up with the question.
"If you want to know more, we can send you back to Lilydale for free. Go find a medium; the ridiculous clues you gave me will only lead to this little bit of information," Holmes said without batting an eye.
"No, no, no, that's enough, Holmes! You're a fucking genius of deduction!"
