My years as a menswear boss

Mrs. Leslie was not originally named Leslie. She was called Mrs. Leslie after she married Margery Leslie, the housekeeper.

"Mrs. Leslie, you are the servant Mrs. Field brought before her marriage."

After Holmes found the cook Maggie, he immediately pointed this out, "Mrs. Field's brother did business in Jamaica in the early years, and they brought you back to England from there. You have a pure London accent, but you are Latin American, with honey-colored skin It's a good testament to that."

"Yes... yes, sir. My wife and I grew up together." Mrs. Leslie's eyes flickered.

"And what is your opinion of Miss Field?"

Holmes approached Mrs. Leslie just as she was preparing supper, with unfinished bacon lying on the chopping board.

"Miss is like a little angel, she doesn't treat me as a servant at all."

Mrs. Leslie was less nervous and softened when it came to happy things.

"Do you know Miss Field's nursery rhyme before she died?"

"Oh! No . . . I don't know!" Mrs. Leslie turned pale and shook like chaff.

"No, you know. There is also an incomplete nursery rhyme in Mr. Viscount's study." Jiqiu interjected at the right time, and took out the paper folded in four from his jacket pocket.

Mrs. Leslie's expression at this time was as if she saw a ghost, "Nursery rhymes...the nursery rhymes appeared again."

"Gary!" Holmes stared sharply at the bewildered cook, "Go get some water."

Jiqiu immediately scooped up a bowl of water, dipped his hands in it and sprinkled it on Mrs. Leslie's face.

Mrs. Leslie, stimulated by the cold water, came to herself, gasping for breath.She hurried forward and patted the fat woman on the back, "It's all right, Mrs. Leslie."

Mrs. Leslie reached out and grabbed Jiqiu's wrist, her lips trembling, "I remember... Pauline and Xi Fei were walking in the white church, the sniper's footsteps sounded, and Jack the Ripper came.... Jack the Ripper coming."

Did the murderer prefer "Nursery Rhymes of Mother Goose" so much?

The song just now is also "Jack the Ripper" in it.When Mrs. Leslie finally calmed down, Jiqiu and Holmes also left the kitchen.

Before leaving, Mrs. Leslie asked cautiously, "Excuse me, did old Henry tell you the nursery rhymes?"

"Have a good rest, Mrs. Leslie." Holmes left the kitchen without looking back.

Seeing Mrs. Leslie's resentment, Jiqiu cursed in a low voice, "You damn slob."

Seeing that Mrs. Leslie was getting more and more angry, she ran out of the kitchen to follow Holmes.

"Sir, I don't understand." After running out, Jiqiu looked down at his red wrist that was pinched by Mrs. Leslie just now, "Ms. Leslie's hand is very warm."

When people are extremely frightened, they will have a stress response, and their hands will become cold, because at this time the blood in the hands will flow to the legs, which is an instinct of human beings.

"It seems that you are not overwhelmed by Mrs. Leslie's acting skills." Holmes seemed in a good mood. "We can prepare to return to London."

"Mr. Holmes! Do you know who the murderer is?! Was it Mrs. Leslie? Why did she kill Viscount Field?"

Jiqiu was in a daze. Before she had a clue, Mr. Detective already knew who the murderer was.

But Mrs. Leslie's acting skills can really win an award. If the fat woman hadn't grabbed her hand just now, Jiqiu would not have doubted it at all.

"You're too noisy, use your brain to think about it." Holmes reached out and tapped his temple, and he walked away before she could recover.

Jiqiu didn't get the answer he wanted, and his heart was itchy, and his thoughts drifted to the new nursery rhyme. Jack the Ripper existed for a period of time with Sherlock Holmes. There is no real Jack the Ripper in London Whitechapel, the more he thinks about it A little hairy.

Just as she was recalling the testimony of the three witnesses, the cook had the most information, but what was her motive for committing the crime, Mrs. Field died in childbirth, Miss Field...

"Gary, have you seen Holmes?" Watson hurried over, interrupting her thinking.

"Mr. Holmes has just left. What's the matter?"

"There is a very important clue. The Viscount was accused of murder ten years ago." Watson was a little excited about this new clue, forgetting that he once disapproved of sending Qiu to the murder scene. "If you see Holmes again, please tell me His clue."

"Murder Miss Field?" Jiqiu scratched the back of his head.

Watson seemed frightened by her remarks, and his tone was a little unstable, "How could it be Miss Field, he is Miss Field's biological father! Mr. Field was accused of murdering the servant George Harris, but the charge was later withdrawn due to insufficient evidence .”

"Oh." Jiqiu responded slowly, bypassing Watson and continuing to connect her thoughts just now, but she still remembered the name George Harris in her mind.

'Did George Harris have anything to do with Miss Field's death?Was he killed by the Viscount? 'she feels brain

The house became even more chaotic, one mystery was not solved, and another one came again.

'Oh, I seem to have forgotten to tell Watson that Mr. Holmes already knows the answer. Ji Qiuhou realized later that when he was about to turn back to find Watson, he bumped into a wall of meat.

"Oh, God! Mr. Gary, are you okay?" Billy Rupert pulled Jiqiu up with a guilty look on his face.

"I'm fine." Jiqiu rubbed his sore nose, looking curiously at the tall and strong Billy, "Are you going to the kitchen?"

"Yes, I'm going to get something for Sophia. She hasn't eaten all day," Billy replied respectfully.

"I'm not some distinguished gentleman, just call me Gary. Do you have a good relationship with Sophia?"

Jiqiu suddenly discovered that apart from the married cook, there was only one girl in the manor, Sophia. Although she was very haggard when she first met, she could tell that she had delicate features and a rare light blonde hair.No wonder Billy went to court.

"No...we're just normal...not right...Sophia said yes to my marriage proposal a week ago." Billy stammered, blushing.

"Then congratulations!" Jiqiu sincerely congratulated.

"Thank you, Mr. Gary, no, thank you, Gary." Billy smiled embarrassedly, but turned his face with a bitter face, "I hope the gentlemen can catch the murderer quickly, so that my wedding with Sophia will not Too long a delay. You know I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"You guys can do it, the case will be over soon." Jiqiu joked with a smile, "You're all red."

Just after saying this, Jiqiu's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and he said goodbye to Billy happily.

Billy stood still and watched Jiqiu's figure disappear into the corridor before turning around and walking towards the kitchen.

Jiqiu walked to a corner and leaned against the wall. She seemed to have been tricked, and Billy's simple and honest appearance made her less vigilant, and subconsciously answered the truth of the case.

'It's careless, I hope it's just my illusion. Ji Qiu beat his head in frustration.

The more she thought about it, Jiqiu felt that Mrs. Leslie was a murderer. She was a little shaken, but the performance just now did not dispel her doubts. Maggie Leslie did not behave like an ordinary cook at all.

Since the cook can act, the initial impressions of the maid Sophia, the gardener old Henry, and the servant Billy can be overturned and reconstructed.

So from the moment old Henry said that he could find Mrs. Leslie, everything he got might be false.Isn't that field farm

The servants in the garden are all acting! ?Jiqiu was frightened by this thought, and she thought of the song "Who Killed the Mockingbird" again.

Some of the messy clues seemed to be strung together.But what is their purpose?Even if Viscount Field died, the property could not be given to them.

'Perhaps try to look up George Harris. '

Jiqiu finally saw Holmes, the big detective was sitting in the living room, ready to get up and leave.

"Mr. Holmes, are we leaving?" Jiqiu stepped forward and asked.

"Do you want to live here?" The detective looked like she was asking a stupid question.

"Then when can you talk about your reasoning?" Jiqiu looked at him urgingly.

"Wait till everything's over. But it's a lot of stuff for the Scotland Yard gang to go through for a long time."

Holmes smiled mockingly, completely oblivious to the glares of the police detectives around him.

"Okay, then let's go. Mr. Watson must have been waiting in the carriage for a long time."

Jiqiu hurriedly stopped the detective from continuing to speak viciously. She felt that if she stayed longer, she would be beaten up by these angry police detectives.

"You are going, Holmes? Will you not stay any longer?"

Grayson walked down the stairs with a reluctant expression on his face.Jiqiu felt that he should be reluctant to part with the clues of the case, but he would not pull himself down and beg Holmes to tell him.

"Greyson, put away your expression. After I have finished investigating what I told you, you idiots will be able to deduce half of the truth."

Holmes did not take this at all, and spoke mercilessly of what Grayson had in mind.

Being ridiculed like this, Grayson's expression was a little uneasy, but knowing Holmes' true character, he restrained himself from going up and beating him up. It would be even more embarrassing if he still couldn't beat him.

Jiqiu has already been let down by her idol, and she really wants to learn.

"Mr. Holmes, you mean that the servants in the manor murdered Dennis Field?" Jiqiu couldn't wait to ask the question in his heart when he got on the train.

"Are you finally willing to use your brain?" Holmes raised his eyelids, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.

Watson was confused now, had he missed something important?Why did he leave for a while, the matter is about to be settled! ?

Glancing at Watson who was bowing his head in deep thought, Jiqiu felt that he might still be able to save him, "I don't know much about it now, it's so uncomfortable, so don't keep it to yourself!"
