I became DIO's vicious stepmother

"Are you going to give me another question?"

"You may think so," I replied, maintaining a smile. "It would be very impolite to question a lady directly, Mr. Holmes."

Holmes stared at me intently. He seemed to be thinking, and after a moment's hesitation he came to a logical conclusion.

"My judgment is that maybe Ms. White, you may have imagined a story under great pressure, and you have successfully tricked your own brain into believing this story is true."

……Depend on.

He said it directly, which seemed even more rude!

But it's almost the same as I guessed, I didn't even tell him anything, he already thought I was imagining.

It feels like it's really hard to convince him of supernatural powers... especially if you can't see it with your own eyes.

I feel more and more that it is not time to tell Holmes the truth. Speaking of it, the character of Holmes is actually different from what I know. Although the core of Holmes will not change, it is a bit like the one on the screen. A composite of several versions.What's more, I think if I tell him about the stone ghost face, he may be more interested in research.

Sherlock Holmes has been seeking answers and truths all his life, and his brain will never stop working. He is actually an antisocial personality, but he is different from Moriarty, he chose to embark on a correct path.

If he knows that there are supernatural forces in the world, then in order to prove this, Holmes will definitely want to figure out the principle of this thing and how it works, and maybe even conduct experiments.

But he is not the kind of person who will experiment with others, so his test product may be himself...

Holmes is actually a self-destructive person.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, I decided to wait until the matter of the stone ghost face is completely resolved, and then tell him the cause and effect... At that time, I will suggest that he go to the baron named William A. Zeppelin Talk and confirm the truth from a larger population.

Baron Zeppelin is also the key to the story.He is the teacher of the hero and the victim of Shi Guimian.His father used to be the captain of the archaeological team. After excavating the stone ghost face in Mexico, he was turned into a vampire on the way back and killed a whole boat of people.In the end, even his own son was not spared. When Baron Qibelin was almost killed by his father, the morning sun finally rose.

The sun at sea was extremely strong, and his father was instantly reduced to ashes under the sun.In the end, the ghost mask floated away in the sea, and finally went around for some reason, and ended up in an antique shop, where it was bought by the hero's mother.

Next is the beginning of the original story...

Baron Qibelin's life was destroyed by the stone ghost mask. Then, in order to deal with the monsters created by this ghost mask, he went to Tibet to practice with Ripple Qigong masters. If he knew that the stone ghost mask had reappeared, he would definitely not let it go. This thing lives on...

From this point of view, the most important thing right now is to get in touch with Baron Zeppelin as soon as possible, that is, how should I find him?

Baron Zeppelin's whereabouts have been unknown because he has been practicing outside all the year round and looking for clues to the stone ghost face. He has almost disappeared from the British aristocratic social circle and almost disappeared. In the original book, he himself turned into a vampire in Dior and caused great confusion. Finally, he found the male lead to teach him Qigong, and together they went to eliminate Dio.Thinking about it this way, Dior is really too arrogant, he doesn't hide his whereabouts at all, if he can be as afraid of death as Wu Mi, he will definitely be able to hang on for a long time...

But at this time, I suddenly had an idea.

He was almost dragged in again, and there was a super powerful detective in front of him, so why not continue entrusting Holmes to find him!

"Your assumption is wrong, Mr. Holmes. I have not imagined a story."

I shook my head, looked into his eyes seriously and said, "I can't tell you the reason yet. This is also my secret. Of course, maybe you can find the answer yourself. But I have a new commission, I don't know if you would like to Accept? You can also take it as my next prompt."

"Of course, please tell me." Holmes smiled.

"I hope you can find out the whereabouts of Baron William A. Zeppelin for me. It is very important. If you can see him, please tell him that I have something to tell him 'about the shipwreck', The commission fee is £5."

"..."

Holmes seemed to be thinking. He stroked his pipe and looked at me quite sharply.

"As a commission to find someone, this fee is a bit too high. Maybe I can think that this is a very important thing? I heard that Baron Zeppelin has been away from London for ten years. There are rumors that he is dead. And yet you're sure he's alive . . . you seem to be getting more and more of a mystery, Ms. White."

"Women are beautiful because of their secrets."

I put my forefinger lightly to my lips and winked at Holmes with one eye.

"Then please."

"..."

After a short silence, Holmes laughed.

"I agree with your statement, Ms. White."

I saw the interest in Holmes' eyes, because there were many things involved that he couldn't understand at the moment, and he happily accepted the commission.Then before I said goodbye, he gave me some advice about Dior.

"If you are worried about Professor Moriarty's influence on your stepson, you can apply to the prison to ban their contact. Before the influence reaches its maximum, it will automatically decline over time, and during this period, you need to deepen your influence on your stepson as much as possible. Influence. In the heart of your stepson, no one can replace you for the time being."

...if only it was as he said.Although it was Holmes' suggestion, since the person I was facing was Dio, I didn't dare to think that this would be enough.

But I said thanks anyway, "I see, I'll try."

In other words, we can only get rid of Moriarty first!Then grab Dior's heart back to me, and rebuild the trust between the two of you... Damn it's so difficult!Obviously I hate him so much, but I still have to work so hard...

After returning from Holmes' office, I fell into a state of anxiety again.

How to bring Dior back is a big problem. The chemical effect between him and Moriarty is terrifying. If you don't pay attention, you will slide towards the place full of black mud. No one can stop him for a long time. , can only become a superficially normal criminal master, and no one can catch him again.

...I hope that Mr. Joestar can act quickly and transfer Professor Moriarty away as soon as possible.

There is still a week before I can continue to visit Dior, but before that, Mrs. Sterling's banquet also distracted me.

Although it is a private banquet, if I want to blend into that class, I must not be too shabby and shameful.Now I am also a respectable person in the society. Although my reputation is not very good, I still have many supporters and suitors.

It's just that the family seems to feel that this kind of fame makes them feel very shameful. Jenny's mother wrote to me specially to tell me that I made them a disgrace among relatives and friends.They refused to return me to my natal family until I improved my reputation.After my third husband died, they finally despaired, and they no longer asked me to continue to find someone to marry, but asked me to just not lose theirs.

And Alyssa also sent a letter, telling me not to listen to my parents, and she will continue to help me find a suitable partner.I want to say that it would be great if this bitch didn’t harm me. She wished that I would live in extreme pain every day and envy her life. But after a few days, she wrote again, saying that someone from her husband’s company The typist lady's brother has never been married.The lady can earn 50 pounds a year and support the whole family. Although her brother has not yet found a job, once he gets married and has children, he will be willing to work in a factory to support his family.

She told me in the letter that after she introduced me to the elder brother of the typist lady, the other party expressed that she did not mind that I had been married three times and had a stepson. She hoped to see me and complete the marriage as soon as possible.

???

I read this letter with black question marks all over my head, and I resisted the urge to curse people several times.

As long as I keep writing, I can earn between 1000 and 2000 pounds in royalties. Why did she ask me to help a family with an annual income of [-] pounds to help the poor?

In the eyes of Alyssa, I am only worthy of marrying a property vagrant who relies on his sister to go out to work and stay at home... Isn’t this the same type as Dalio? !Even if she wants to disgust me, don't be so obviously malicious!It's not enough to cheat me once, so I have to do it a second time...

Of course I am not the original Miss White, how could I be fooled by her.Originally, I wanted to just throw these two letters into the stove, but after thinking about it, I decided to keep them. After all, they are letters from Alyssa, and they can be used as writing materials in the future... She really brought me a steady stream. inspiration.

After leaving all these things behind, I also officially started preparing for the banquet.

Recently, my money was relatively ample, so I went to a department store to buy a new dress that is the most popular in the upper class social circle. Unexpectedly, it cost me a full £150 in the end, which gave me a terrible headache.

One shoulder strap is a dress made of high-quality natural seawater pearls. It is cut by a master and made by an experienced tailor. The figure is extremely prominent, and it can almost be called a work of art.But only the aristocrats can afford it, and many middle-class people would not be willing to buy such expensive clothes. The price is indeed unbearable for ordinary people.

But for the sake of face, and the style is really good-looking, it is completely my aesthetics, so I endured it and can keep it as a family heirloom. I will wear it once every year on my birthday in the future.

I have carefully groomed and dressed up, and every time I put on makeup, I can't help but be amazed by my beauty.After looking at the extremely beautiful young woman in the mirror, she was sure that she would become the focus of the audience and not lose anyone's face.Satisfied, I called the carriage and went to Mrs. Sterling's mansion.

Mrs. Sterling's home is also in the West End of London, and the journey by carriage is less than 15 minutes away. If it is not for fear of my hair being blown by the wind, I don't even want to hire a carriage.But if I go back at night, I can also walk back by myself. The law and order in the West District is very good. Even the number of patrolling police is twice that of the really chaotic East District, so I don’t have to worry about what happened before.

I arrived at Mrs. Sterling's house before dark.

"Oh dear Jenny, it's been a long time, you are becoming more and more beautiful, like a bright pearl..."

Mrs. Sterling at the door of the house welcomed me very warmly, and she did not look like she had neglected me for two years.We knew very well that we would not mention those things, and after exchanging pleasantries, she continued to receive other guests who came one after another.

This so-called private banquet was much more lively than I imagined. It seems that Mrs. Sterling's social circle is not small.Since it was not yet the official start time, I found a sofa and sat down, planning to take a rest first.

But at this moment, a man's voice suddenly appeared from behind me.

"I heard you were looking for me? Miss Jenny White?"
