[sherlock] Sherlock's Ome

Easter is naturally a feast for Easter. Shelley made traditional hot cross buns, roasted leg of lamb with mint sauce and boiled vegetables.Except for Sherloycroft and Lestrade who were also uninvited, Shelley had to go to the refrigerator and quickly added a pizza, a dish of honey-glazed ham, and a stewed chicken with potatoes, which filled everyone's stomachs.

"Mycroft, you should have called me earlier," she complained. "There's almost not enough to eat."

"It was a sudden idea, you know, and I brought you a gift." Mycroft laughed, he was very satisfied with the honey sauce ham just now, and the money for the gift was really worth it.

A man in a black suit walked in carrying a large cardboard box, which didn't look very heavy. Shelley asked curiously: "What is it? Can I take it apart now?"

"An easter egg," said Sherlock, "obviously..."

Shelley roared: "Sherlock, how many times have I told you, don't spoil my fun of unwrapping presents!"

"But when I give you presents, I never spoil your enjoyment of unwrapping presents," Sherlock said aggrievedly, "What's so good about this fat man's presents, just use my card to buy whatever you want .”

"Then! No! Same!" Shelley paused every word, "Also, don't try to be cute to me. After watching it for more than [-] years, I'm already tired of watching it."

Mycroft laughed: "Sheley, the gift is indeed an easter egg, but I think you should take it apart and have a look, you can still enjoy the surprise of opening the gift."

Shelley was a little surprised. She thought it was just an ordinary chocolate egg, and then a plush toy of a rabbit was added. She opened the box expectantly.

"Wow!" Shelley exclaimed in surprise, inside was a huge easter egg, which was the one she was looking for in the game these days, and it was full of various Q-version monsters, very cute.

The easter egg is very big, standing on the base as high as shelley's thigh.She looked around, put a high-legged stool between the two windows, and carried the colored eggs up.

"You don't keep it there all the time, do you?" mycroft said. "Chocolate is for eating. If you want to crack it open, please let me know."

Shelley can't laugh or cry, did you send me eggs just to eat more chocolate?

"I see the dentist once a week, my hairline recedes, and I gain weight... Lestrade, why don't you kick the British government?" Sherlock said, "Now I even want to eat the gifts that are sent out. Has the government finally gone bankrupt? ?”

"I think he's fine now," Lestrade said. "But, Mycroft, you can't eat sweets anymore. Isn't your toothache still going away?"

"Okay." Mycroft looked at the egg again regretfully, stood up and said, "We should go back, Shelley, today's dinner was great, thank you."

"I'm glad you guys like it." Shelley sent them to the stairs. "Come and eat again when you have time, Inspector Lestrade. If Mycroft doesn't have time, you can come by yourself. I have been neighbors with the Holmes family for 20 years, basically It's like a family."

Lestrade blushed a little: "Okay, thank you."

After seeing off Mycroft and Inspector Lestrade, Shelley hastily turned on the TV. She was watching a TV show about vampires recently, and it was a bit late today, so she had to go online to make up for the missed ones.

Looking at the man with pointed canine teeth on TV, Sherlock snorted, "This screenwriter's IQ is too low. Vampires treat people as food. Will an intelligent creature fall in love with its own food? Isn't that love with people?" It’s as exaggerated as a chicken or a cow? And their teeth are unreasonable. Except for the two canines, they are the same as humans. When they close their mouths, either the canines will pierce their own mouths, or they will not close at all. They don’t close their mouths and even saliva flows out at any time, just like babies or old people who lose their teeth. How do they suck blood? Use their canine teeth to inject venom, and then suck blood from these two holes that have been injected with venom? This is simply Just as barbaric as the primitive people, can't they cut the blood vessels and pour the blood into a cup to drink? What's the difference between sucking it directly and eating chicken with feathers raw?"

Shelley glared at Sherlock until he closed his mouth awkwardly before saying, "I didn't ask you to watch it together, Sherlock, let's solve your case."

Sherlock said aggrievedly: "Sheley, I don't have a case recently, it's boring!"

John dismantled him from the side: "I just showed you a commission, and the other party is willing to spend 5000 pounds to ask you to solve the problem."

"What case?" Shelley asked, and before he could answer, he turned to Sherlock, "Sherlock, if you don't accept the case, you will have nothing to eat. No wonder you didn't give me a gift today. Are you out of money?"

"Sheley, you've failed mycroft," Sherlock said.

"How could it be? I've been with you for a longer period of time, and Aunt Antoie is always worried that you're making me look unladylike." Shelley said triumphantly.

Only then did John find an opportunity to intervene and said, "A vampire case, Shelley, are you interested in taking a look?"

"Vampires?" Shelley asked in surprise, "Is it true that there are adults in this world who believe in vampires?"

"Sheley, you have to know that there are always more idiots in this world." Sherlock said with a bit of flattery.

Shelley hugged John's computer to read the help letter he received:

"Dear John, do you remember me? Your center back, Robert Ferguson, I saw your blog and knew that your cohabitant, Mr. Sherloes, is a very good consulting detective. I need his help. I think I should put First of all, I got married two years ago to a gentle and beautiful lady who brought a six-year-old boy from her ex-husband and gave me another son last year.

I get on really well with the boy she brought, and recently I noticed that she actually beat the sweet boy with a golf club several times.And the crystallization of our love, my child who just turned one year old, the problem is even more serious.I don't know what to say, john, last month I found a document left at home in the company, and when I went home to pick it up, I heard the child crying, and I saw her bending over as if biting the child's neck, when she When I straightened up and turned my head to look over, I saw blood around her mouth, and there was indeed a small wound on the child's neck.

She didn't give any explanation for it, just begged me to believe her.But last week, I saw her lean over the baby again, with blood all over her mouth and the baby.I don't know if she's a vampire or not, I'm going crazy, John, but she keeps shutting herself in the room and won't explain it.I need Mr. Holmes' help, whatever the outcome.I dare not leave the children, can you and holmes come over directly? "

"My God," Shelley exclaimed, "whether she's a vampire or not, is there really a mother who would hurt her own child?"

"Yes, and quite a few." Sherlock said, "But it's hard to say what's going on here, we have to go and have a look."

John took the notebook: "He lives in Cheeseman Manor in Lamberley, Sussex, and it's only an hour and a half by train. Let me leave a message for him. When are we leaving?"

"This afternoon," Sherlock said.

"The manor? Sounds like he's rich, isn't he a vampire duke himself?" Shelley joked.

"It's actually poor," John said. "There are many old houses there, all named after the surnames of the original owners centuries ago, such as Audley Manor, Harvey Manor, Kellyton Manor, etc. , Robert did inherit a manor, but it was very small, and he couldn't make much money just by planting, but it was enough to maintain his life."

They arrived in Lamberley before 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and Mr. Ferguson was already waiting at the gate of the train station in his car.It was a big man who looked honest, kind, and even clumsy.He warmly welcomed them anxiously, and almost had all the hope when facing Sherlock: "Welcome, John, long time no see. Welcome, Mr. Holmes, please help me, everything is please ! Good morning, ma'am."

He was driving a very cheap car, and it was old, it looked like it was at least ten years old.Fortunately, its performance was not bad, at least it transported them safely to Cheeseman Manor.

That remote and old manor, it is a huge continuous building, the central part is very old, and the two wings are very new, it seems that it has been newly repaired.It had tall Tudor chimneys and mossy high-slope Horsham slates, sunken doorsteps, and circular images of the original owners carved into the ancient tiles of the porch walls.The ceiling was supported by heavy oak columns, and the uneven floor showed deep grooves.The crumbling house exudes the smell of old decay.

In general, this is an old house that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the owner failed to maintain it properly due to economic reasons.The central hall is very spacious, and there are some strange things hanging on the walls. It doesn't look like they come from the mainland of England, at least Shelley has never seen the real thing.

"Some of them belong to my wife, and some belong to Ward. Ward is the boy brought by my wife. My father-in-law Wat likes to travel. He often brings some special products from abroad to the mother and son." Robert explained.
