sherlock cat

Chapter 31

Jenny had never seen winter before.Under the protection of Xiao Hei's powerful magic, the forest where she has lived for more than 500 years is like spring all year round.

In mid-November, the city of London already has the feeling of winter, and when you step out of the house, you will feel the cold air and breeze.

Jenny thinks that winter in London is like Sherlock, elegant, quiet, glamorous and charming.

Although most people who know Sherlock disagree with this beautiful metaphor, Jenny insists.And looking forward to the first winter snow in persistence.She hadn't seen snow yet.

Before the first winter snow came, the doorbell of 221B was rang again, and this time a special—or familiar client came.

Jenny had to admit that if Driss hadn't appeared again, she would have forgotten this new friend in the cold of early winter and drifted away with the cold wind.

Thinking of the last time Driss waited for her in the rain for a long time, but she left without even saying hello, Jenny's long-sleeping conscience finally woke up and felt a little guilty.

"Hello, Driss, long time no see." Jenny, who had discovered her conscience, greeted her very friendly.

But compared to Dries, who was enthusiastic and disregarded previous suspicions, her friendliness was immediately compared.

"Hello, Jenny," Dries said eagerly, showing his trademark white teeth in a big smile, "how are you all right? I've missed you so much during this time. But you know, work and life can take Your time is completely occupied, so I can't come to see you."

Driss' unrestrained generosity amplified the guilt in Jenny's heart even more.And Driss also said that she misses her very much, but she hasn't thought of this new friend since the last time we parted.

Sure enough, beauty misleads people, she has become such a friendless cat.

"Remember the Philip I told you about?" Dries pointed to the middle-aged man in a wheelchair next to him, "My boss, Philip."

In fact, Jenny had already noticed the man in the wheelchair.He looks very refined and gentle.He was wearing a well-tailored black suit, white shirt, and no tie.The eyes are bright and steady.

The man looked better suited behind a large, elegant desk than in a wheelchair.But he does sit in a wheelchair.

He was pushed in by Dries.Jenny was a little curious, but she didn't ask any questions.She has never been very curious about people other than Sherlock.

"Hello, Philip." Jenny waved to him, "I'm Jenny."

Philip, who was in a wheelchair, showed a decent smile, and said slowly: "I think 'Jenny' is the name I've heard the most from Dries in the last month, and I'm glad to finally meet its owner. You are more beautiful than Driss described."

Jenny understands why Driss said that his boss is a good guy, because both of them are very discerning.

Jenny did not know this Philip who was praised by Jenny for his vision, but Watson knew him. He believed that Sherlock must know him too.

Philip Kotler, CEO of London's largest stock and investment firm.

However, Watson almost never reads financial news. The reason why he knew this financial giant was because of a skydiving accident that had a great impact and spread widely two years ago.

As a businessman, Philip loves extreme sports besides money.One of these passions in particular is skydiving.

The sport of skydiving is like investing in stocks. In addition to technology, it also depends on luck. Therefore, no matter how skilled and powerful a person is, he always wins sometimes and loses sometimes.

As a successful stock investor, Philip wins more and loses less.As a veteran skydiving enthusiast, Philip also won more times and lost less-and he only lost once.As a result, the third and fourth cervical vertebrae were broken, and the whole body from the neck down to the soles of the feet had no sensation, only one head was left to move.

The skydiving accident was extremely sensational back then. It was broadcast from the financial channel to the entertainment channel. Dr. Watson passively watched it many times, so he dug a little from his mind and remembered who this Philip was.

After thinking about it, Dr. Watson joined the conversation between the three of Jenny with instinctive sympathy and kindness.

Philip is a very typical British gentleman, gentle, low-key and prudent, but not lacking in humor. Even people who don't know him will feel comfortable getting along with him.Life's upheaval doesn't seem to cast a shadow over this successful man -- at least on the surface.

When Jenny and Watson happily chatted with Dries and Philip, Sherlock had been sitting on his exclusive sofa, propping his head on the armrest of the sofa with one hand, and staring at them blankly, as if to see Know how they are wasting precious time.

Sure enough, the topic turned to Watson's blog. Philip praised Watson's wonderful blog as usual, and he especially liked the article on "Aluminum Crutches".

Nothing new.

Sherlock became more and more impatient, and the fingers resting on the side of his face moved around irritably.

Driss immediately followed Philip's words and said to Jenny: "I also read Dr. Watson's blog, you are so amazing, Jenny, I didn't expect you to be... er, a detective. So Philip said he might need When I asked for some help, I immediately thought of you, and you must be able to help solve his problems."

Jenny shook her head: "I'm not a detective, but Sherlock is." Then she turned to look at him happily, "Sherlock is the best and most powerful detective."

Deris: "..."

Detective Sherlock Holmes, who was praised, glanced at Jenny, the indifferent expression on his face remained unchanged, and the hand that was resting on the side of his face was put down.He moved on the sofa to make himself more comfortable, then turned his gaze to Philip.

Before Philip could speak, Sherlock had already refused politely: "Sorry, I never take boring cases."

Philip didn't look offended at all, and even smiled a little at Sherlock's blunt and direct answer.

"I haven't said what case to entrust."

Sherlock said: "An unchallenged robbery. I think Scotland Yard will be happy to help you recover the missing 160 million bond. If necessary, I can refer you to a police officer, Lestrade, although he is a fool. , but sometimes it’s not all useless.”

Philip raised his eyebrows in admiration.

"But obviously you have bought insurance, even if Scotland Yard does nothing, you can get 64% insurance compensation." Sherlock said quickly, "If I were you, I wouldn't refuse the kidnapper's offer and redeem it with a [-]% discount. Get back those bearer bonds of yours, and in addition to the full insurance compensation, you can easily get [-] pounds, and everyone is happy."

The smile on Philip's face deepened: "Yes, you are all right, Mr. Holmes. But you see, if I do nothing, people will think that they can steal my things at will."

Sherlock said indifferently: "That's your problem."

It is.So Philip was not angry.Jenny didn't think he should be angry either.

But just now Philip praised her for her beauty, which shows that he has a good eye.He knew that Sherlock was the most powerful detective in London, and he was very discerning when he came to him for help.

Sherlock found Philip's case boring, and she was not. Besides, she felt that it was not good enough for friends to throw Driss away the first two times. Since Philip was brought by Driss, she wanted to help.

So Jenny said very proudly, "I'll take your case!"

Driss' eyes lit up.

Sherlock turned to look at her.

Sensing Sherlock's sight, Jenny had just finished her roar, her voice was still floating in mid-air, and she instantly became three points shorter, looking at him eagerly and asking, "Is it okay?"

Philip on the side spoke first: "Then I will trouble you, Jenny."

Jenny didn't speak, still looking at Sherlock.

There was a slight flattering look in her pale green pupils that Sherlock was familiar with, every time she wanted to eat fish and chips, she would look at him like that.And when he refused to wait obediently at home and wanted to follow him to the scene of the crime.And when I want to sleep in his... bed...

Sherlock coughed lightly, turned his eyes away, and said softly, "As you wish." After a slight pause, he added, "If you like."

……

Jenny's interest in solving the case originated from Sherlock. When she realized that Sherlock did not accompany her to investigate the case that she took on impulse, Jenny immediately regretted it.

But she has never been a cat that backtracks, she has already said what she said, and she must do what she promised, and she must do it well.Just take this opportunity to prove to Sherlock that she is really not that stupid.

Determined to prove herself, Jenny seldom ran her cat's head seriously. Philip's case has been filed with Scotland Yard. She thought she could go to Inspector Lestrade to find out the details of the case, and by the way, tell Lestrade Learn from virtue.

She doesn't have Sherlock's smart brain and can solve the case in an instant, but she can take it step by step and take it slowly.

Sherlock refused to help her, but Driss was left by Philip, saying that he was helping Jenny.

Based on the principle that one more person can do more, Jenny didn't refuse.

But Jenny, who had just made up her mind to investigate the case in a down-to-earth manner, was taken to the bar by Dries, who beat her down.

Jenny looked around at the bustling crowd, and looked at Driss in puzzlement.

Driss asked her seriously: "If you were those robbers who just robbed a huge sum of 160 million, what would you do?"

Jenny felt that Driss's question was indeed very serious, and she also asked the point. Sherlock seemed to have often used this method of empathy in solving cases in the past.

She was about to think deeply about what she had learned, when she heard Dries go on to say, "I must come to the bar for a drink!"

Jenny's brain stuck just now.

Dries continued: "This pub is the most popular bar in London. If we want to find out something, it must be the right place."

Jenny looked at him, hesitated to speak.

She really felt that those robbers would not necessarily come to the bar for a drink after they robbed the money, and even if they wanted to come to the bar for a drink, they might not come to this small bar by such a coincidence.

Taking a step back, even if those robbers were really in this small bar, she and Driss knew little about the case, let alone the robbers. I'm afraid it can only be a regrettable situation where we meet and don't know each other.

But seeing that it was not easy for Dries to find out the long list of reasons, Jenny resisted and said nothing.

She is so kind.

The kind Jenny followed Dries to the bar.

Driss ordered her a glass of fruit wine familiarly. The pale pink liquid was placed in a long transparent glass with a slice of lemon on the rim, which looked very beautiful and attractive.

Jenny picked it up, first stretched out the cat's tongue and licked it tentatively.

Then her emerald green eyes lit up, um, sweet!

How can you be so beautiful and cute like this.

Driss looked at her, and his throat rolled.

"...uh, Jenny..."

"Huh?" Jenny held the wine glass, took a big sip boldly, and looked at him questioningly.

"You and that curly hair..."

Jenny narrowed her eyes and frowned.

Driss immediately changed his words: "I mean the curly-haired detective. How are you doing with him?"

While he was talking, Jenny hugged the glass and drank the whole glass of fruit wine.Driss looked surprised.

Putting the glass back on the bar, Jenny looked at him with clear eyes and replied, "We're fine."

Driss immediately asked, "Are you... together?"

Jenny wasn't quite sure what his definition of "together" specifically meant. After thinking about it, she said cautiously, "We just 'slept' together."

Driss choked on his throat with a sip of wine and coughed violently.

Jenny thoughtfully took a napkin and handed it to him.

While Dries thanked, he coughed a few times under his throat.

Jenny looked at him suspiciously, feeling that the expression on his face was a bit strange.

"But he doesn't want to 'sleep' with me recently," Jenny added, "I'm trying to find a way." After a pause, she looked at Driss, "You are also human, or you can help me analyze , is there any good way to share with me.”

Dries took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.It's funny to say to her that 'you are human too', as if she is not human.

Driss hooked his fingers at her, and Jenny hurriedly leaned over.

"According to our human practice," Driss said kindly, "At this time, the usual choice is to sleep with another person."

Jenny blinked, turning Dries' words in her mind, not understanding whether he meant that Sherlock would sleep with another person, or let her sleep with another person.

She definitely wouldn't sleep with another person.But will Sherlock sleep with another person?

Or is he trying to sleep with another cat?

Jenny felt a little dizzy.

Sherlock came after Jenny when she emptied her third glass.

No matter where she went, it was impossible for Jenny not to attract attention.Standing at the door of the bar, Sherlock saw her in the direction of the bar at a glance.

Driss was sitting on a chair by the bar, and Jenny was standing beside him, with one hand still on one of Driss's arms, as if she was pulling his arm to say something, which made Driss burst into laughter.

Mr. Holmes felt that his smile was an eyesore.

Under the dim light of the bar, Sherlock's face was condensed, and he walked straight towards Jenny with his long legs.

Before he came close, Jenny began to sniff around with her sensitive cat nose.When she turned her head and saw him, her misty eyes seemed to glide through a flash of lightning, and the fundus of her eyes were illuminated brightly.

Sherlock was taken aback by her bright eyes, Jenny had already shouted "Sherlock!", and ran towards him stumblingly.

When she ran up to him, almost tripping herself, Sherlock reached out to help her, and Jenny immediately hugged his arm and didn't let go.

Jenny hugged him, terribly wronged, and cried, "Sherlock, I can't find my tail..."

The author has something to say: Who picked up our cute little Jenny's tail, a thin and long one with patterns.

Let’s talk about Dries and Philip. It seems that only one cutie has asked Dries about the character. It seems that everyone has never seen this movie.

Dries and Philippe are the protagonists of the French version of "Untouchable". This movie is very good. I recommend you to watch it when you have time.

It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, you can treat Dries and Philip as original characters, and the plot itself has nothing to do with the movie.
