Henry Baker stammered: "The day before yesterday, when I was working in the kitchen, I heard that the ring of the old woman in Farintoche was missing. When I came back, I saw Jerry playing with a ring. I knew it immediately. Worse, I was afraid that Jerry would be humanely destroyed by the captain, so I hid the ring." After speaking, he looked tenderly at the monkey hugging his neck, and each monkey touched the tip of its nose.

"Where is it hidden?" Sherlock said.

"Come with me." Henry Baker got up to comfort his monkey, put it back in his bed, and took Sherlock and the others out.

He took Sherlock and the others to the kitchen. Seeing that no one else was there, he dug out a goose that was frozen to death from the corner of the fresh meat storehouse. After prying open the beak with a knife, he took out a gold coin from inside. The green opal ring, and then he immediately gave the ring to Sherlock and said, "Okay, this ring is returned to you, and you can't trouble me and Jerry anymore."

Sherlock looked at the ring in his palm, nodded, turned and left.Dr. Watson added later: "Don't worry, we won't reveal a word about you."

"Sherlock, what are you going to do?"

"Ok?"

"This ring, how do you plan to return it?"

"Oh, don't worry, let the ladies appreciate it first." Sherlock said.

After returning, Sherlock handed the ring to Hypatia to play with.Hypatia looked at the light for a while, and said, "Sherlock, you were almost tricked. This gem has been replaced long ago."

"Details."

"Let's take a look, this base has traces of remelting, and this gemstone, it's not golden green, it's apatite cat's eye. Their prices are too different."

Sherlock said, "Sure enough."

Dr. Watson said: "Then Henry Baker lied to us?"

"Didn't you hear it just now? The base was re-melted to inlay new gemstones, so the real golden-green cat's eye has long been sold by the original owner."

"The case of Mrs. Farintoche?"

"Oh, I have to think of a way to send this ring back without implicating myself."

Dr. Watson couldn't help being angry when he heard the words, and said, "Who is she blaming?!"

"Maybe some unlucky maid, repairman or something, this time I'm going to let her suffer."

"Sherlock, what do you want to do?"

In the afternoon, Sherlock went to the restaurant in front of the ladies whom Mrs. Farintoch was associated with, and suggested that Mrs. Farintouch treat the whole boat to a roast goose meal.

Mrs. Farintoche replied angrily: "Can this help you find my ring?!"

"Really helpful!"

Under the gazes of the ladies next to her, Mrs. Farintoche could only agree.

In the evening, Sherlock was at the door of the restaurant. Before the waiter was about to bring the goose to the table, he stopped one of the waiters for fifty pounds, and stuffed the ring into a plate of thickly sliced ​​goose. Thinking about it, the waiter blinked and said, "I found the ring back. This is a surprise. Don't tell anyone. Send this to Mrs. Farintoche."

"Okay, sir." The waiter was very pleasantly surprised at the fifty pounds that Sherlock handed over, and agreed again and again.

Then Sherlock was standing by the door, saw Mrs. Farintoche chatting happily with the person next to her, smiled mockingly, and turned back.

Mrs. Farintoche is a woman who has a great show desire. After she invited everyone to dinner, she went to the restaurant to eat.Although she smiled happily on the surface, her heart ached because of the money she had spent, so she forked a piece of goose meat and bit it down hard. There was something hard inside the goose meat, which almost didn't break her teeth. .She spat out the hard object, and exclaimed in surprise: "My ring!" Then she came to her senses and looked around.

When the people nearby heard it, they all congratulated Mrs. Farintoche for her recovery.She could only smile back, no matter how much dissatisfaction she had in her heart, she could only swallow it. Such a response was already obvious.Later, she quickly sold the ring to an ignorant and rich lady.

Sherlock didn't want to see Mrs. Lintoche's weird smile, and she ate dinner with Dr. Watson in the room.After eating, take a shower, turn on the lamp, the two gnaw a few mouthfuls of each other, and then [-] river crabs crawl over~~ (My Stella will post a comment later)

The next day, the two queens of the river crab were walking hand in hand on the main deck to bask in the sun. Dr. Watson asked, "How do you know that Mrs. Farintoche is lying?"

"She overacts, she pushes herself too hard. When she cries, it's like she's howling."

"Oh, I see."

"Any questions I can ask you?"

"There's one more question you haven't explained yet."

"Ok?"

"That's why that monkey came up on the main deck?"

Sherlock pointed to the juices and fruits beside the swimming pool, and Dr. Watson understood.

During lunch, Hypatia asked strangely: "Does anyone know where my hand cream is? I got up today and looked everywhere." After speaking, he looked at the two of them suspiciously. , besides Sherlock, there is probably no one else who can steal in front of me without being detected.

Dr. Watson glanced at Sherlock upon hearing this, his old face flushed slightly, he looked down at the menu and did not speak.Sherlock coughed and said, "It's nothing, I'll give you one later."

Hypatia looked at Sherlock with some surprise, and said, "Sherlock, you are unexpectedly friendly."

Sherlock smiled, didn't speak, and moved his body a little bit to relieve the dull pain that was constantly rising from somewhere. Indulging in sex hurts the body, and he must restrain himself next time!

Hypatia looked at Sherlock's face, and then at Dr. Watson's concerned attitude. Thinking of Sherlock's strange gait when walking today, and thinking of the mysterious missing hand cream, she smiled ambiguously. Said: "Sherlock, do you want to change oatmeal for you?"

Sherlock's face darkened completely, and he said, "Shut up, Hypatia."

"Sister-in-law, take care of your man!" Hypatia joked very affectionately, and then watched Irene Adler slicing the steak fiercely, as if she wanted to chop the steak into thousands of pieces .

After the ship docked at the port of Hong Kong, Irene Adler immediately said that she would leave.I really don't want to see a pair of dogs and men showing affection in front of me again, it's too hurtful.

When seeing off, Sherlock stretched out his index finger and warned: "Ms. Adler, as a last message, I just want to say, you should be careful, sharp knives will cut your own slender pair if you play too much. Jade hands."

Irene Adler smiled charmingly: "I see, Mr. Holmes." As she spoke, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek before leaving.

Hypatia looked at the back of her leaving and said: "She can't keep her peace, and she will get into trouble sooner or later."

"I know, but it's none of my business then. Let's go, how about we go to America?"

"Sherlock, do you hate Mycroft so much that you don't even want to stay in the same country as him?" Hypatia said after counting her vacation.

"No, I'm doing it for your own good. You have to know that if you stay with the devil all the time, you will become bald and fat early, so come with me to America for a while."

"Think about those cases on Baker Street!!"

"Oh dear, you know how much my sacrifice is! Let's go, I've booked the plane ticket."

"In any case, I must go back before July. The Olympic Games will be held in August. I have to go back and pay attention to the security situation."

"Okay." Sherlock replied wearily.

As soon as the plane arrived in Los Angeles, as soon as it got out of the airport, Hypatia received a call, and then said with a pale face: "Sherlock, my banker just told me that the overdraft function of my credit card has been cancelled, and the card has Only money left to buy three plane tickets back to London."

"What?" Sherlock said. At this time, he also received a notice from the bank and said, "John, you also check your account."

They had just stepped into the bank lobby attached to the airport, and before they even had time to inquire, Dr. Watson was notified that the credit card had been locked.

Dr. Watson was a little surprised and said: "What's going on? Have Standard Bank been taken over by hackers? Or is it bankrupt?"

"Neither, it was Mycroft who informed us that we should return to England." Hypatia replied.

Dr. Watson clicked his tongue. Mycroft was cruel.

Sherlock pondered for a while and said, "He forced me to go back, but I refused to go back. Hypatia took out all the money in the card."

"What?! What do you want to do?" Hypatia asked in surprise.

"How about we go to Las Vegas?"

Dr. Watson, who loves gambling, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and wanted to agree.Hypatia objected first: "It's not very good, Sherlock, Mommy will be upset when she finds out." "

"Okay." Sherlock pursed his lips.
