I would say, he finds your analytical skills intimidating.
It has its costs. Learning to see the puzzle in everything. They're everywhere. Once you start looking, it's impossible to stop. It just so happens that people and all the deceits and delusions that inform everything they do, tend to be the most fascinating puzzles of all.
Of course, they don't alsways appreciate being seen as such.
"Seems like a lonely way to live."
"As I said, it has its costs ."
When he said this, Fu's table was covered with all kinds of handcuffs, and he was trying to challenge (untie) one by one. Handcuffs can be a metaphor for what he calls "interesting puzzles," and some people take pleasure in solving puzzles, and they're good at it. But other people don't like to be seen through to nothing, it feels very "intimidating". So the price for those who see through everything is loneliness.
The British are the best at recreating the original work. The BBC has done "Shakespeare Reenactment", and "Sherlock" can also be regarded as a kind of "Sherlock Holmes Reenactment". The wonderful lines and the ingenious embedding of countless allusions will make the British ingenious. Borrowing the double meaning of "fall", they even went to the swamp to get a hound out. And all the humour, irony, and humanity of the relationships between the characters; the Brits play it so hip and so graceful.
Americans don't need to compete in the direction that the British are best at. It is smart to find another way. So everything is very modern, every case of high IQ crime, the living conditions of modern urbanites, and the classic deduction method, under the conditions of modern intelligence, what should the development look like? Any science must be advanced, right? However, everything is under rational analysis, just like overlooking the city where he lives from a high altitude, so cold and so realistic.
Compared to the American version where the criminals in every episode are aimed at money; the British criminals are simply artists. The American version of Sherlock Holmes has to accept the rules of survival in the real world. At first, he accepted Watson because his father threatened him to sleep on the street; in the third episode, he threatened to prevent Watson from revealing that he had a history of drug addiction. Sue her (Can this be imagined in the UK version? Cumberbatch couldn't have said such things, even though he had tricked Watson many times.) In the fourth episode he worked hard to spend the banker's money, claiming it was "redistribution of wealth" "(a very familiar tune). The British version of Fu, oh, he is a gentleman; Moriarty is more like a punk whose purpose is burning; Can Irene be considered a criminal, an out-of-print stunner who wanders between good and evil.
But the American version of Fu and criminals are closer to real modern people; Fu has a little inner trauma and a little loneliness of too smart people, so his small bad habits can be regarded as ordinary modern diseases. As for the criminals, they are really ruthless and shrewd calculators. Interests come first, which is even more a common problem for modern people! American murderers don't commit crimes of passion, it's too stupid and uneconomical; they never do anything for grand purposes, they don't get emotional, they don't even make mistakes, they anticipate the police in the first place response, behavioural procedures and possible means of investigation. So they can make people shine not because they are "so good", but because they are "too smart", "too good at hiding themselves" and so on.
Therefore, it is destined that the American version cannot surpass the British version in terms of character charm, but the American version is still very exciting. What worries me is that it has too many episodes. I hope it can maintain the standard in the future.
