"So, Sherlock has caught the murderer?"

"Yes."

"As expected of Sherlock Holmes."

"It sounds like you know Sherlock well." Mycroft put the warm black chess pieces on the board.

"That's not true, but I still have some understanding of the wisdom of the Holmes family." Jojo smiled and glanced at the man opposite.

"...The murderer is very similar to what you speculate, handsome and personable, but unfortunately he is an illegitimate child. The mother was the most famous courtesan in London 20 years ago. This not-so-qualified mother passed away more than a month ago. She stayed Two half-brothers and sisters."

"Happy families are the same, unhappy families are different. I lost again!"

Jojo put down the chess pieces: "Mycroft, playing chess with you is really frustrating, next time you should find a comparable opponent."

"You don't care about winning or losing, do you?" Mycroft started to organize the chessboard.

"Even if you don't care about winning or losing, it's still very frustrating to lose and lose all the time. This feeling of doubting your IQ is really terrible."

"It's my fault. For your mental health, maybe I should lose a few games on purpose."

"roll!"

Because the serial killer has been arrested, Jojo finally regained his freedom.

"Betty, take the condensed milk. We have fresh milk and don't need it." Jojo, who rarely went out, was very excited, and packed up some things suitable for the orphanage.The condensed milk I brought back last time also tasted a fresh one.There are still a bunch of them left with no plans to move.

"Yes, Master."

Take a carriage ride with Betty to the orphanage and deliver some presents to the younger children.The person in charge of this orphanage has changed, and now a retired pastor who is not young is in charge.Pastor Joseph Terry was a truly compassionate man.

And it is said that Pastor Joseph Terry has a good reputation in many places.Both the bottom and the top will give him face.

Jojo knew that it must have been done by Mycroft, and that's fine, with Pastor Joseph Terry, the orphanage became more regulated.The mental outlook of the children has improved a lot.Qiao Qiao will also come a few more times, after all, she doesn't like to be stared at by a greedy person in charge.

"Emma, ​​are you feeling better today?" Jojo came to a three-year-old girl with blond hair and black eyes.This little girl was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage three months ago.Anyone who lives nearby can see the changes in the orphanage.With the young children inside being taken care of better and better.

The reputation of this orphanage spread, so from time to time, one or two abandoned children would appear at the gate of the orphanage.Jojo just came to deliver things when Emma was abandoned.So she knew about this lovely little girl.

Qiao Qiao saw the color of the little girl's lips and pulse, and knew that Emma was born with a hypoplastic heart.In this era, how long you can live really depends on God's will.

All she can do is prepare some pills like heart-protecting pills, and let Emma take one when her heart feels uncomfortable.Even drugs with stronger medicinal effects cannot be used.

"I'm much better, Miss Lydia." Emma was a little shy, because she was in poor health since she was a child, and her contact with the outside world was very limited.When I meet people I don't know very well, I dare not talk to them.

Until she came to this orphanage and met a playmate who was about her age.It got better gradually.

But Emma couldn't join the other children playing games in the yard.Her body cannot support her strenuous exercise.So she can only do some quiet things.

Like painting.

Qiao Qiao checked Emma's body carefully, and it's a good thing that it hasn't deteriorated.

Working with Emma on her drawings, JoJo taught me a little more about design.Emma's body made it impossible for her to work on a factory cooperative farm.Painting, design is very suitable.Qiao Qiao didn't know how long Emma would live to, but she planned ahead so that she could support herself when she left the orphanage.

After Qiao Qiao discovered that she had a talent for convenience, she has been carefully teaching her.

It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish, and it is the same for children in other orphanages. Qiaoqiao will let them choose some things they like and ask someone to teach them.

"This is really a great favor, Miss Bennett." Pastor Joseph Terry and Jojo were together in the courtyard of the orphanage.

"Your generosity has changed the future of these children."

You must know that in this era, apprentices have to sign a contract, cannot marry for seven years, will not be paid, and will be abused and exploited by the master.

She did this to the detriment of some people's interests, but these people can't do anything to her either.Plus, after all, only in this orphanage can they receive such good treatment.

"Such praise makes me ashamed. I also signed a contract with these children, and they will pay me back every year after they finish their studies." In fact, it is like a student loan.

Qiao Qiao still knows the truth about Sheng Mien and Dou Michou.She doesn't care about the money, but she won't spoil these children.

"It's wise for you to do this," Pastor Joseph Terry has lived for so long and has a thorough understanding of human nature.

Jojo had a very pleasant chat with Pastor Joseph Terry, and it was a little late when he planned to go home.

It was too late when Jojo and Betty realized that the carriage was not going home.

"This is the second time someone pointed a gun at me." Jojo looked at the unconscious Betty, and then at the woman who pointed a gun at her.

"Mrs. Wycombe, I think if you are smart, you should be obedient and sit on that chair." The woman looked young and average-looking, but Jojo saw madness in her eyes. .

Qiao Qiao felt that she should not provoke the other party, at least she wanted to know who she was and why she did this to her.

So Qiao Qiao sat down on the chair obediently.

"Who are you?" Jojo asked.

"You don't need to know who I am. An unruly woman like you is not entitled to know my name. When Holmes comes over, it will be your death. I will kill you myself in front of that hateful man."

"Holmes? Sherlock Holmes?" Jojo was surprised. Although Sherlock and her are also friends, they really don't have many opportunities to meet.This woman came for Sherlock, why did she find her.

"Wait, you're Alyssa Stud, Edward Stud's sister." The sister of the serial killer caught by Sherlock.

"Don't put me with that idiot."

"You look down on Edward S.?" Jojo looked at Alisa S., who was full of disdain, and noticed something was wrong.This is not the look of a sister who wants to avenge her brother.

"You are the leader, Alyssa S., you are the real murderer of the serial murder behind the scenes. Edward S. is just one of your pawns, or an obedient dog. It was you who made him arrest those women, and you are probably the one who killed them."

"Shut up." The expression on Alisa S's face twisted, as if she couldn't accept that the lowly courtesan in her eyes was a smart person.

"You know that I am not a courtesan, and you also know that some of the people you killed were not courtesans, but you still killed them. Why, because you are jealous, jealous of their beauty, jealous of their wealth, jealous of their being sought after by men."

"Shut up, shut up!"

"Then, why, why did you come to arrest me in this stormy sea? When your brother was charged with all the crimes." Jojo stared at Alyssa Smith.See the momentary look of shame on her face.

"It's because of Sherlock Holmes, isn't Sherlock Holmes right? You like him? It's not difficult to understand. A dominant personality like you always thinks you're smart. You're so smart that you naturally look down on those with only cheeks Idiot. Unfortunately, maybe your acting skills are so good that Sherlock Holmes didn't notice your abnormality at all, or even if he did, he didn't think it had anything to do with the case. With his personality, I'm afraid the two eyes are different. I won't give it to you. And I should be the closest lady you can find to Sherlock, and it just so happens that I'm the kind of woman you're jealous of."

"You are not allowed to call him by his name."

"Yo, possessiveness is quite strong." Qiaoqiao glanced at the shadow of the door.

"Then do you know what kind of girl Sherlock would like?" Jojo saw the shadow at the door move, and the doubt in the eyes of Alyssa Stark who had been staring at her fiercely.

"Smart, beautiful, able to defeat him, and never let him figure it out?" Jojo thought about that Ms. Irene Adler.

"This is all my guess. The biggest possibility is that he will love his work for the rest of his life."

Jojo looked at the lady who was listening to her carefully.

"But I can tell you with certainty that Sherlock Holmes will never fall in love with a murderer. Am I right, Sherlock?" Jojo looked behind Alyssa Smith.

Alyssa Si □ saw Jojo's eyes, and immediately realized something, and turned around with a swipe.At this moment, Jojo got up straight away and kicked Alisa Smith on the knee.Alyssa Si, who was attacked, suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Qiao Qiao walked forward in two steps and kicked away the wooden warehouse in her hand.Seeing that she was still resisting, I just wanted to give her a shot.I saw two men running in from the door, and directly suppressed them.

"Mycroft?" He thought it was Sherlock.

"Mycroft, it seems that you are nervous for nothing. Miss Bennet can obviously handle it by herself."

Hearing the twitchy tone, Jojo would definitely have kicked Sherlock's culprit if he hadn't been in a hurry to check on Betty's situation.

"It's okay, I'm just in a coma, and I can wake up after rest." McCoff supported Jojo, and checked Betty's condition himself.

"That's good." Jojo also breathed a sigh of relief.She was really tired. Originally, she had been tired in the orphanage for a whole day, and then she was hijacked to this ghost place.Still worried about this Betty.

Mycroft saw Jojo's complexion a little bit, and his whole attention was on her.The original action of holding her arm also changed to holding her shoulder.Let her lean against him.

"I'll take you back." Mycroft picked up Jojo directly, ignoring everyone present.

"Mycroft?!" Jojo was taken aback.
