sherlock cat

Chapter 69

The next day's weather was soft and sunny. The quiet morning light reflected the River Thames across the entire city of London, and also reflected Mr. Holmes' tense side face.

"So," Watson walked around the living room twice aimlessly, and stopped in front of Sherlock's sofa again, "Jenny disappeared early in the morning?"

Sherlock sat motionless on his sofa, clasped his hands, pressed his fingertips to his lips, and said nothing.

Jenny was indeed missing.

Sherlock found out when he woke up in the morning, and the "evidence" was clearly laid out in front of him - the other half of the bed was empty.

He stroked the empty sheet with his hand to make sure she had been gone for a long time, because there was no residual warmth on it.

At the beginning of dawn, the soft light was slightly exposed, and a short period of morning light shone on the floor through the curtains, but it was as warm as the bed sheet under his palm at that moment.

This was a situation completely beyond his expectations, and even the super brain of Detective Holmes couldn't help but go blank for a moment.

Only then did he realize that Jenny could be an obedient and obedient cat, but also a cruel little beast at the same time.

In fact, Jenny has never been tame. She has lived in an isolated forest with almost no laws for more than 500 years. Although there are certain rules set by Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei's right to speak is still essentially A manifestation of power.

So it can be said that she grew up in the law of the jungle, and she doesn't look bad.Hidden in her heart is the animal instinct of survival of the fittest and predation of the jungle.

It's just that she listened to Sherlock too much in the past, obedience to him almost became a habit, and he became a habit too, causing him to forget this.

Some images of her in the Avengers appeared in Sherlock's mind, which were pictures that Mycroft had shown him when he had just returned from Europe.She adapted very well there and got along harmoniously and happily with every team member.If he was an honest person, he had to admit that compared to London, compared to him, the alliance of superpowers was actually more suitable for her.

In fact, he had already admitted it in his heart, so he returned alone after that trip to the United States.

Sherlock lowered his eyes, and his fingertips also moved down, and finally rested on his chin and did not move.

This is the standard action of his super brain when thinking fast.

Watson looked at him, took a deep breath, and said cautiously: "You and Jenny...I mean, Jenny seemed to be drunk last night, did you... have you, what happened..."

In the end, Dr. Watson, who was heartbroken, felt like a pervert prying into other people's privacy.

Faced with Watson's hesitant temptation, Sherlock was completely unmoved, and didn't even blink his eyelids.

Dr. Watson was surprised.

Not surprised by being left out, the doctor was used to it, but surprised by Sherlock's lack of response.You know, in normal times, he would definitely respond harshly and arrogantly to such "boring" questions.

So, is this the default?

A little man whose jaw dropped from shock appeared in Dr. Watson's brain.

Although Jenny has long been very close to Sherlock, and the two even slept in the same bed for a long time, but the person he is talking about now is Sherlock Holmes!

That Sherlock Holmes who said that the relationship between people is the most stupid and useless thing in the world.

Well, and Jenny, no less.These two are simply a pair of abnormal human beings.

Thinking of something again, Dr. Watson looked at him with admiration: "If I remember correctly, you were shot the day before yesterday."

Sherlock didn't answer, he didn't feel the need to discuss this obvious fact.

"Don't tell me, you are trying to keep Jenny in this way?" Watson asked.

Sherlock pursed his pale lips.What happened last night was an accident, not within his plan, but it cannot be denied that when he did that last night, the purpose Watson said flashed in his heart.He sees no problem with that purpose.

But, is everything really not in his plan?Then why didn't he stop Dries when he gave Jenny the wine?

"So?..." Sherlock frowned impatiently as the fingertips on his chin moved away.

Watson knew this was a sign that his patience was about to run out.

So you are wrong.Retention became the catalyst to push her away.

Watson didn't really say it, and he didn't have to.

Sherlock's cold eyes swept across his face.

Watson coughed lightly.

Sherlock looked away again, and suddenly said firmly: "Jenny won't leave me without saying goodbye, you go to the fried fish shop on Marylebone Road and see if Jenny has appeared there."

Watson could not refute this statement.

From the moment Jenny appears next to Sherlock, Dr. Watson is forced to witness just how nice one person can be to another.

Jenny treats Sherlock differently than Watson, Mrs. Hudson, or Lestrade.After understanding Sherlock's bad temper, they are tolerant and tolerant to him.

But in Jenny's eyes, she couldn't see Sherlock's bad temper at all.She thinks Sherlock is fine with everything.She likes everything about him.

Sometimes even from the perspective of Mycroft, who is the younger brother, Jenny is too unprincipled towards his younger brother.

So Sherlock said that Jenny would not leave him without saying goodbye, and Watson believed it.But looking at the conceited and arrogant determination on the face of the man opposite, even if he was as loyal as Dr. Watson, he couldn't help but feel that Jenny was too spoiled with him.

At this moment, Watson saw that the expression on Sherlock's face suddenly changed, and his back was straightened on the sofa.If anything, Watson wasn't sure if the look on his face was nervous or not.

"John, you go to the fish fry shop in Marylebone Road at once!"

Watson was stunned for a moment, but he understood immediately. He wanted to ask something again, but saw that Sherlock, who had quickly explained, had already taken out his mobile phone, entered a string of numbers skillfully with his fingers, and pressed dial.

When Watson reached the stairs, he heard Sherlock speak a name into the receiver.

"Mycroft..."

In the afternoon, the soft and bright weather suddenly changed. The sun was completely blocked by thick clouds, and it rained in a short while.

But passers-by on the road were not surprised at all, because this is very British.Those who took the umbrella opened the umbrella above their heads, and the raindrops hit the umbrella surface, making a crackling and happy song.Those without umbrellas walked in the cool rain line very leisurely.

In this bustling rainy street scene, there is a person walking in a hurry. If you look closely, you can find that his face is also very tense.

This tense and hurried man was Dr. Watson who had just returned from the Marylebone Road.With his head bowed under the layers of rain, he crossed Baker Street very quickly, and then walked into the door of the apartment at 221B very quickly, and stepped up the narrow and long stairs at the door with a few strides.

"Sherlock!..."

The doctor swallowed back the words after seeing the two Mr. Holmes sitting face to face on the sofa in the living room.

Sherlock's speculation was correct, Jenny had indeed appeared at the fish fry shop on Marylebone Road early in the morning.

The boss is very familiar with her because she used to frequent here.According to the boss, Jenny bought an order of fish and chips and left without looking out of the ordinary.

But when Watson was about to leave, the boss suddenly remembered something, saying that there was a young girl who was following Jenny, who ordered the same set meal as Jenny, and then followed Jenny all the way.

The boss was impressed because the young girl said something very strange.

She said: "It's dangerous to like something too deeply. I thought Sherlock had learned his lesson, but it seems he hasn't."

The continuous raindrops hit the glass windows like chaotic drumbeats, making people's already impatient mood even more restless.

Since Watson moved to Baker Street, under the influence of Sherlock and Jenny, his conscious nerves have been tempered extremely strong, and even the most bizarre incidents have become ordinary trivial matters.After all, he has even seen a demon, and how many people in this world have seen a demon.Not to mention seeing, there are very few people who even know that there are creatures like demons.But he has seen it.Not only did he meet, he also became a family with a demon.

But Sherlock and Mycroft actually have a younger sister, and this sister is antisocial with an IQ far higher than that of Sherlock and Mycroft. connect.

Now, this younger sister, who even made Mycroft fearful, has most likely kidnapped Jenny.

After listening to the secrets of the Holmes family, Dr. Watson felt that he was still too naive. His nerves were not as strong as he imagined, and he needed to be quiet.

But the reality did not provide much time for Dr. Watson to be quiet. Miss Holmes, whose IQ surpassed ordinary people and whose way of thinking was not on the same level as ordinary people, sent them a bomb.

Fortunately, after not being killed by the bomb, they still need to rush to Sherinford as soon as possible.

This small island that does not exist on the map is actually a prison that is tightly guarded like a fortress.For the detainees inside, Mycroft used one word to describe——

demon.

The man who can represent the entire British government can be described as a "demon", and when he described it, he also had a frightened expression facing the inescapable childhood nightmare. Watson combined his experience of narrow escape in the explosion a few hours ago, and imagined Take a look at what this "demon" should look like.

Forgive his lack of imagination, he can't imagine it.If possible, he is actually not very willing to imagine.

Sherlock didn't say anything along the way, and Watson's eyes flicked across his face from time to time.

It's usually not easy to see through Sherlock's thoughts, but Watson felt that he didn't need much superb reasoning ability to guess what he was thinking at this moment.

More than four hours had passed, and none of them knew what Jenny had gone through.

Sherinford was surrounded by sea, and they went by boat.And this boat was a fishing boat that was robbed.

After 23 years, under such circumstances, Sherlock became a pirate and fulfilled his childhood dream of being a pirate.I really don't know if this is a long time to come, or whether things are impermanent.

In this world, apart from his family, only Jenny knew that Sherlock's childhood dream was to be a pirate.

Once upon a time, Jenny told Sherlock that they had agreed that when they grew up, they would gallop across the vast sea together and be pirates who robbed the rich and gave to the poor.During the years she worked hard in the woods to find him, she conceived all kinds of thrilling stories for their sea adventures.

Later she really came out to look for him, but instead of being a pirate, he became a detective.The stories she had conceived for 21 years all came to naught, but she was not disappointed in this change at all, and she did not forget to comfort him, detective is also a promising profession.

Standing on the deck, Sherlock slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

No matter what he did, she was never disappointed in him, except... except that he went to save "that woman", except that he was never there when she needed him.Not once.

In fact, even so, Jenny never expressed disappointment to him, she just grieved silently by herself.

The weather was not very good, huge lightning flashed through the thick clouds, the sea was windy and rainy, and the fishing boat was bumping along the way.

Sherlock thought that if Jenny was here, she would probably have a good time.

Watson stood side by side with Sherlock on the deck, looking ahead through the layers of mist on the sea.

When Sherringford finally broke through the mist, and bit by bit fully emerged in front of his eyes, Watson realized that his nerves had been tense.He was sure that Sherlock was the same, because there was no expression on his face, and his deep and sharp eyes were fixed on the small island that was getting closer and closer.

Looking at Sherlock like this, Watson suddenly remembered that Jenny had disappeared once before.

That time, she disappeared for four whole days.

Only the difference was that no one even knew she was missing that time.Sherlock didn't know, and neither did he.

Thinking of this, Watson felt a pang of guilt.

During the few days when Jenny disappeared, although he asked Lestrade to help find him, but after Lestrade's many investigations found nothing, he put it down and said, "Jenny may be angry with Sherlock and go back." "Such a shallow excuse to comfort myself.

Until... Sherlock brings back Jenny's body.

At this time, Watson didn't know that Jenny had saved his life with one of her tails.

People who are rescued by Jenny will automatically forget the cause and effect of being rescued, otherwise Jenny's secret of being a demon would have been lost for a long time.McCoff may have known.But even if he knew, he didn't disclose this matter to Watson or Sherlock at the time.Not until now.Otherwise, Watson would probably feel even more guilty.

As for what happened during Jenny's disappearance, Watson has never known.Sherlock was in such a bad mood at that time that Watson didn't dare to ask.Later, Sherlock completely rewrote his memory, and Watson had nowhere to ask.I only know that it probably has something to do with Moriarty.

But why did Moriarty grab Jenny?Threatening Sherlock with her?Or did Moriarty also know that Jenny was not an ordinary human being and arrest her for research?

At this point, Watson didn't dare to think about it.

But Watson speculates that even if Sherlock has not fully remembered the memory he deleted, he must have learned about what happened to Jenny during her disappearance from other sources.

If Jenny's disappearance was really related to Moriarty, and if the third Sherlock Holmes child who was imprisoned in Sherringford at this time and the number one suspect in kidnapping Jenny was really related to Moriarty...

What kind of intricate and complicated "family dispute" is this.

The sea breeze mixed with the salty smell was wrapped in the torrential rain and beat on the face, Watson turned his head to look at Sherlock.

His tall and thin body stood upright in the groggy sky, the howling sea breeze blew up the hem of his coat, and the turned up collar blocked half of his pale cheeks, and the other half of his face exposed in the torrential rain was invisible any expression.

There came another bolt of lightning.The dazzling electric light is like a sharp sword split from the end of the sky, stably piercing through the clouds and piercing the entire sky, like a surprise attack of light against darkness.

Sherlock kept his eyes on the front, motionless in the silence and the wind and rain.

Watson also followed his gaze into the distance.

In front of their eyes, there is a vast undulating and turbulent sea surrounded by cloudy clouds. Surrounded by the sea is Sherringford's black-gray back, with sporadic lights faintly revealing on his back. It is quiet and distant, as if floating on the sea ghostly will-o'-the-wisps.

A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in the loyal and resolute doctor's mind. If there are demons in this world, will there also be ghosts?

The doctor was ashamed and ashamed that such a comical idea had suddenly come to his head in such a solemn and austere pre-war moment.

But having said that, before he met Jenny, he didn't know that there were creatures like demons in this world.

The fishing boat docked, and the quiet and distant ghostly will-o'-the-wisps got closer.The two landed one after another.

Here, I don't know if there are ghosts, but there must be a cat that is right.

And the cat is doing deep philosophical thinking at the moment.
