[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Moriarty

"What nonsense!"

Let’s just say that she “inherited the cruel nature of her late mother”? !Now she wants to go home and take that little pistol/gun to kill the person behind her back!

Ciri kneaded the newspaper into a ball and held it in his hand, "I've been working in the theater for several years. It was supposed to be a screenwriter, but I didn't participate in it. Now I'm going to be fired because of a report that I didn't confirm the authenticity of. I?"

"That's not what Shirley said," Boss Burns said with a stern face, "You also know that the theater has been difficult to operate in the past few years, and finally a show has become a hit. There can be no mistakes!"

"Are you afraid that these rumors will affect your income?" Ciri raised her eyebrows and said, "For example, there is a born bad-blooded killer hidden in the Savo Theater?"

"Of course I don't think so!" Unexpectedly, Boss Burns' complexion changed, and suddenly softened, and he put on a hypocritical face of a benefactor, "You have helped me so much, of course I thank you Yes, so I prepared a little money, which is what you deserve."

Obviously, this is directly telling her to take the money and leave.

"Boss Burns, is this money your subsidy to Venus?" She smiled instead of anger, pointing to the shrunken silver coin bag that Burns took out, "I don't think this amount of money is enough? "

"Upper?"

Very good, Ciri is satisfied that he still captured the key information, "Of course there is the lower part, the bitter love between Venus and Adonis is all in the lower part."

If it was in the past, she would have been sad if the boss didn't read her script carefully, but this time it helped her instead—Boss Burns's literary accomplishment is really unflattering, so he must not read the script carefully people.His business method is more inclined to "sell people", but this time he made a lot of money out of nowhere. Naturally, he wanted to eliminate the protagonist who wanted to bring bad influence, and clung to the remaining fat.

"Then..." Burns hesitated, took out a few more shillings and wanted to stuff them into Ciri's hands, but she didn't accept it, and Burns laughed dryly when he saw this, and said, "What about expulsion, I just Let’s talk, it’s actually not considered a real expulsion! Shirley, you are so good, even if you don’t work in the theater, I can still pay your salary, you can continue to write, and you don’t use the theater, isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”

"I think it's better to forget it, Mr. Burns." She sneered. She didn't have any contract to defend her rights. I was fired, and I was still at home struggling to write the script without knowing it."

She threw the newspaper ball in her hand, leaving Burns with a frozen smile on her face, and walked out of the theater without looking back.

She chose dignity.

Originally, the ending she imagined for herself was that after becoming a well-known writer, she would resign with the fat boss who regards money as her life, but who would have thought that the tabloid directly shattered her expectation!

She didn't know who was responsible for it, although most of it was fabricated, but that person did know her origin... Wickham?It was ruled out that he was injured in the middle of the night and had no chance to go to any newspaper to stab Lou Zi, but it did not mean that he would not maliciously retaliate against what happened yesterday morning.

But he had left London now, and it was impossible to seek clarification from him.Not to mention that she has lost her theater job, what if these rumors reach the publishing house, what will happen to her new work?If Paul decides not to publish, she will only have enough money left to live in London for a month after rent.

She walked towards the publishing house, but her pace was indeed getting slower and slower. She didn't know whether her explanation would convince Paul, and if it was convincing, it would be useful.

Finally, she stopped in front of a coffee shop.This store is decorated gorgeously, like she can't afford it now.There were only a handful of people in the store, and many people were talking in front of the magazine rack outside the store, but she didn't care to listen to those gossips.Shirley lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds, trying to extinguish her desire to spend more and more as she got poorer. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a shrill female voice calling her name.

"Shirley!"

Ciri followed the source of the sound and locked on a table in the coffee shop.

She now believes that everything is conserved. When you are lucky enough to do something, there will always be unlucky things to kill your happiness. Even, this kind of bad luck will never come only once, and it will make you feel like drinking cold water Sergey.

For example, she saw the lady sitting at that table holding a teacup and giving her a polite smile.

She is Caroline Bentley.

Without that variable factor, they might be a perfect pair of plastic sisters.As for this factor, of course it is...

The gentleman next to her who suddenly closed the newspaper!

Fitzwilliam Darcy!

Why did you bump into them at this time?What she regrets most now is that she didn't take the pistol/gun out of the house, so she should have destroyed the villain behind the scenes first, and then herself.

But she couldn't just walk away, so she could only bite the bullet and walk into the coffee shop and sit down at their table.

"Shirley, it's really you—Mr. Darcy, did I say it was really Shirley—my brother and I have been guessing where you have been?" Caroline said strangely, "I I just graduated, and I haven’t lived in London for a long time. I heard these interesting things. I happened to meet you. You should tell us about the stories of the past few years..."

She winked at Darcy next to her, and the latter took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I'm not interested."

Seeing Darcy's reaction, Shirley felt fortunate. After all, indifference was his usual style. As an old lover, he had done his utmost benevolence without putting on an expression of talking about her past.

But probably because Darcy showed "no interest", she could see that Caroline was very happy, she was secretly smiling, and took out a newspaper that was placed on another chair, and showed it to Shirley. He said: "I only found out after reading the newspaper today, Shirley, you have so many stories, look here, have you been doing hard work in the theater recently? Actually, we can help you without money, we have been friends for so many years .”

Shirley rolled her eyes at her face to face, "Didn't you go to school? Didn't they teach you how to read and tell the difference between right and wrong? Please tell me what school it is, and I will definitely write a bad review for it."

"You—" Ciri watched her forcefully swallow the curse words, "Of course I went to school, it taught me what a lady is."

Ciri laughed at her answer.

"Okay, lady, can I go if there is nothing else? The red man is very busy now, such as finding the person who lied about me and tearing him up, oh, remind this person to drink tea next to me Mr. Concerned Gentleman, this rumor maker is most likely called George Wickham. If you are lucky enough to see him, please tell him for me. If there is a next time, it will never be a bullet that grazed his leg It's over."

"Oh, Wickham arranged for you?" Darcy ignored the ambiguity in Ciri's words, put down his teacup, and frowned beautifully, "Why did he come back to you?"

"Believe me, no one in the whole world wants to know the answer to this question more than I do." Shirley sighed, she couldn't say anything more sinister to the handsome face of her ex-boyfriend in the past, she told him Nodded, "I should go."

Darcy turned his head to look in the direction she was leaving, and was about to speak, but was preempted by someone——

"Miss Ciri! Long time no see! I really didn't expect to meet you here—my sister and I have been guessing where you have been, haven't you, Caroline?" A handsome and generous man walked up to her. The young man, although his words were almost the same as Caroline's, did not mean to take the tone, but made people feel very kind, he was Charles Bentley.

"Sit down and have a drink, I have big news for everyone!"

In fact, Charles was more difficult than Caroline, because he was so warm and amiable that Ciri could not refuse his request.

Ciri sat down helplessly under Darcy's expressionless face and Caroline's venomous eyes, and Bingley walked to the bench where the tabloid was originally placed, and took out a new newspaper for everyone as if offering a treasure, Ciri recognized that it was printed by Paul Press.

"Look, everyone! I saw Ciri's article here! I paid ten times the price and bought it from a worker! I heard that this issue of the newspaper will be reprinted!"

She could say that her first reaction was that Charles was such a cute taker, but she didn't care about that much. She took the newspaper first, flipped through the newspaper repeatedly, and her hands trembled involuntarily.

"Don't worry, Shirley, although it's not the headlines, it's a big part of it—here," Charles turned the page for her, and pointed out a place for her, "on the second page."

She saw that Paul did not cut off her new work, but published it in a large format. She was so excited that she almost shed tears!

"Shirley, will the famous detective, Mr. Murray, help them solve the mystery?" Charles couldn't help asking.

"Next time, don't forget to buy it in advance, and don't buy such an expensive one." Shirley said with a smile, feeling that Paul didn't believe the one-sided words of the tabloid. Should she thank Paul now?

No, she changed her mind, the real reason why this issue was out of stock should be that everyone believed Wickham's nonsense, which stimulated everyone to want to buy a literary newspaper, and some people could even buy a literary newspaper. Pay a high price for the paper to see Ciri's work, to see what kind of fiction someone like her can write.

She thought, this is also good, only if it is controversial that her next creation will attract more attention.

This is an out-and-out bad start, and she will be full of controversy next, but she is fearless, because she can speak with more works, and she can turn it into perfection.

Because she's Hillary Bird.

At this point, Ciri raised the corners of her mouth, closed the newspaper, put on a proud expression familiar to several people present, and smiled indifferently.

"You can order whatever you want, I am treating you today."
