Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

How did Mycroft react?

In his reply to Sherlock, he first mentioned Moran's question, but he also added a note at the end.

"Brother who surprised me, do you think the joy of peeling apples can be clearly expressed in a few sentences at the end of the letter? When you return to London, we need to talk face to face.

Also, are you just going to peel apples in front of a mirror with candles at midnight in your tiny house in New York?This is just a mediocre experiment.It will be more exciting and fun if you come to Yorkshire together next Christmas.Ask your dear Jerry for me, do you dare to go to Sherlock Holmes' old house to peel apples? "

"The above are all of Mycroft's responses." Sherlock looked at Kelsey, "What do you think about this?"

What else can I see?

Mycroft used a subtle aggressive method.

"My opinion is to eat breakfast first, then pack up, and we will take the train to Chicago in the evening."

Kelsey thrusts the plate of apples into Sherlock's hands.Avoiding him, walked out of the kitchen first, and sat down at the dining table calmly.

At this moment, Kelsey didn't seem to care about Mycroft's response, nor did she care whether Mr. Holmes had doubted her identity as a woman.

Now it is certain that as long as Mycroft does not immediately buy a boat ticket to come to the United States, he is slowly accepting that his brother has been shot by Cupid's arrow.

In the kitchen, only Sherlock was left alone.

He didn't hear the longing response, and he suddenly felt that the apple in his hand looked a bit unsweet.

Half a minute of silence.

One person studies the sweetness of apples in the kitchen, while the other prepares meals at the table.

This time, Kelsey added unhurriedly, "Next Christmas, if there are no messy accidents, I would like to go to Yorkshire.

Do you dare to peel an apple for your beloved brother?Maybe he'd prefer me to make some apple pies.As your friend, there should be nothing wrong with my visit to Sherlock Holmes' old house for Christmas, right? "

As soon as this remark came out, the research in the kitchen came to a conclusion.

Who said apples can't be sweet?

Sherlock immediately corrected the illusion just now, the apples Kelsey chose were definitely sweet.

"Be confident, Jerry. Your decision is very good."

In a flash, Sherlock has quickly come to the dining table from the kitchen. "My mother always hoped that I could bring my friends back to the old house, so as to make sure that her son was not so pitiful that he could only live alone."

After that, Sherlock slowly pulled out his chair again, as if he was not in any hurry to finalize the arrangements for next Christmas.He sat down slowly and started eating without haste.

Although his face was expressionless, he was secretly thinking about a major matter.

——Next year’s Christmas, there are fourteen months left in the countdown from today.

He couldn't let Kelsey go to the old house just as a friend, he had to add a prefix to the word friend.

As for whether Mycroft can eat apple pie?Don't worry about that kind of trivial matter.

**

October 31, night, Chicago.

A grand Halloween masquerade party is being held in the Ola family's mansion.

Even if the guests don't dress up like usual tonight, the word "luxury" is inseparable from the feasting and feasting.

For example, the lady dressed as a mermaid princess, wearing a water blue satin mermaid skirt, looks radiant under the light.A skirt may be worth decades of wages for ordinary miners.

For example, the lady dressed as a mysterious witch, she wears a half-face mask studded with black diamonds.As soon as it appeared on the stage, it dazzled people's eyes, and the price was so expensive that it was jaw-dropping.

It is also wearing a mask, some people are luxurious, others are simple.

Kelsey opted for the simplest silver mask, playing the faceless ghost of a mute.After entertaining some merchants who had to say hello, they quietly hid from the auditorium.

Mission accomplished tonight.

At the invitation of Bingley, she came to observe Caroline's prospective fiancé.

In the era when there were no P pictures, most people were the same as the photos.

Ke Wan is not beyond the majority, he is a successful businessman who is married, handsome, rich, and slightly indifferent to the outside world.

From an outsider's point of view, the couple was not a good match, and Kirwan surpassed Caroline in every way.

The reason why the two can continue to get along must be because of some innocuous secrets.Under normal circumstances, others should not pursue what is the secret.

What I saw today is consistent with the information Kelsey found.

Although the relationship between Kirwan and Caroline is not as natural and harmonious as that between Darcy and Elizabeth, Kirwan cares about his girlfriend.

To be nice to Caroline is to respect her relatives and friends.

Kirwan has been taking care of Bentley and his party to avoid embarrassment at the unfamiliar Chicago dance.

In doing so, Kirwan has shown his sincerity.

There are few feelings without regrets in the world, but they don't always meet people unkindly.

Kelsey thought so, and went outside to find a corner to breathe fresh air.After tonight, Bentley should drop the quasi-character from Kirwan's title 'prospective brother-in-law'.

Time passed without knowing it.

In Orr's mansion, which belongs to Uncle Kirwan's mansion, the auditorium on the first floor is lively with a dance party.

There were no guests in the back garden.

In the late autumn night, who will blow the cold wind outside?

Kelsey was enjoying the cold wind blowing her face among the flowers, and felt that the mask was a little in the way, preventing her from getting close to the autumn wind.

"Good evening, Mr. Bennet."

Another lazy man came in the back garden, old Mr. Bennet.He saw Kelsey who had taken off his mask and greeted him proactively.

Although both of them have the last name Bennet, there is really nothing that both parties can talk about freely.

Old Bennet is not a familiar character, but he is very grateful to Kelsey for rescuing him from the "Lucky".He couldn't turn a blind eye to the life-saving person, even if there was nothing to talk about.

"good evening."

Kelsey nodded and did not ask why old Mr. Bennet did not stay in the auditorium.Seeing that he couldn't hide his exhaustion at the moment, it seemed that he was extremely disgusted with socializing but had to do it.

Kelsey didn't look for topics specifically, and old Bennet needed some quiet time.

At this moment, old Bennet felt really relieved.

How should he praise Kelsey for his understanding? Some people stand silently, but they give people comfort like a spring breeze.

Why doesn't he have a son like Kelsey with the same surname as Bennett?

Old Bennet couldn't help diverging his thinking. If he could choose, how could he leave the limited inheritance land in his family to his nephew Collins who only flattered his flatterers?

After narrowly escaping from the "Lucky" ship, old Bennet seriously considered how his wife and five daughters would continue to live if something happened to him.

The good news is that Jane and Elizabeth are finally getting married.

Both fiancés are from wealthy families, one has a gentle personality and the other is safe and reliable. The two are still friends, and they will not break contact when they form a small family in the future.

Jane and Eliza are going to marry high, which is somewhat beyond old Bennet's expectation.

However, he has always been worried about his eldest daughter and second daughter, but it is the other four women in the family who are troublesome.

Are there really no other distant relatives?

Find a reliable heir, so that the man can take care of the women of the Bennet family as much as possible while taking over the family property in the future.

Old Bennet decided to go through the family tree after returning to England.

He stole a glance at Kelsey, the most ideal but most elusive heir.It's a pity why the two parties are not related.

Kelsey was about to turn her head, but felt a little strange look in old Bennet's eyes.The next moment, she took two quick steps back to the other side.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the flowers without a sound, and it was stretched in Kelsey's direction.However, the distance was a bit far away, so it was empty.

The moonlight is cold and the lanterns are flickering.

Many places in the back garden were shrouded in darkness, with only a few dimly lit lights.

At this time, a pale hand suddenly protruded from the bottom of the flowers, it was like a corpse buried in the mud.

"God!"

Old Bennet was startled first, he couldn't help raising his voice, staring at the flowers, "Where is who!"

There was a rustling sound.

A woman with slightly disheveled hair stood up from among the flowers.

The woman was wearing a large cloak, which tightly covered other clothes, and a few dead leaves and branches were stuck to her hair.

Even her embarrassing appearance can't hide her natural beauty.About 30 years old, but his eyes are full of innocence.

"Shh - don't talk too loudly."

The woman raised her index finger and made a quiet gesture, "Don't attract the queen and the hunter, they want to kill Snow White."

"what?"

The old Mr. Bennet was puzzled for a moment. Could it be that this lady is playing a game of peek-a-boo?Although absurd, it fits the masquerade theme tonight.

Kelsey frowned slightly.

The lady who appeared suddenly, with mud stains on the corners of her cloak, held her breath and hid among the flowers for a while.

From the appearance point of view, the woman is somewhat similar to Ke Wan.

However, as far as is known, Kirwan has no female relatives in their 30s.

Kirwan is an only child.And his cousin Al, the owner of this mansion, has three sons and a daughter.It is well known that the daughter Alisa married to England four years ago and became Mrs. David, but died of illness last year.

Who is the woman in front of her?

Kelsey doesn't think women are role-playing. Judging from their eyes, women's mental state is different from ordinary people.

"Alyssa David?"

Kelsey uttered the most unlikely name and found the woman in front of her unresponsive.She reported Alisa's name before she got married again, "Alisa Orr?"

"Ah! You know who I am."

The woman stared at Kelsey brightly. "How do you know my name? That's right! It must be like the magic mirror said, through which I summoned the god of death. God of death, god of death, you must be able to find my child and let him leave the terrible world in the mirror."

At this time, a group of people hurried to the back garden.

"cousin!"

Kirwan noticed at a glance that Alisa who had sneaked out of the room was the woman who was talking to Kelsey.

"Ahh! The seven dwarfs have come to catch me."

Alyssa saw Kirwan coming towards her with his servants, like a frightened fawn trying to run away, only to find that there was nowhere to escape.

Alisa could only rush to the back of Kelsey.

Using the flowers as a cover, he did not forget to say to Kelsey, "Reaper, please stop the seven dwarfs quickly and take them to hell."

What kind of mess is this all, why can't it make it through a dance?

Kelsey watched as Kirwan approached apologetically.

At this moment, she only wanted to slander one thing, why didn't she call Sherlock together today?At this time, Tom, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, was leaning comfortably on the hotel sofa, reading a few idle books leisurely.

The two did not appear together, but strange things still happened.That being the case, it would be better for the two of them to be at the scene together.

See how good she is to Sherlock, and never forgets to be blessed with him.

This kind of idea of ​​sharing blessings must be approved by her dear Tom, isn't it?
