"Because Viscount Field is cautious about anyone except Leslie."

Only then did Jiqiu realize that there is still a loyal servant of Scotland Yard being imprisoned. Does the owl in the nursery rhyme allude to Margery? Leslie.

"We have to do everything possible to get Field to dismiss the secretary, and then write him a letter in the name of Leslie's nephew. Field trusts his secretary very much." Sophia said softly.

"Sir, as you heard, this is the truth of the whole case. But I have to ask you now, let me take this matter alone. Sophia and Billy should not destroy themselves because of revenge. life." Mrs. Leslie's face was calm, but her tone revealed pleading.

"Mr. Holmes, I have lived for the past few years because of Miss Wilson's help. I am willing to be responsible for everything I have done, but I, like Maggie, hope you can let Sophia and Billy go." Old Henry's originally straight back was slightly bent.

"No, we are willing to accept the trial of the law, which was already prepared when we chose to participate in this revenge."

Billy and Sophia interlocked their fingers and looked at each other, their eyes becoming firm.

Jiqiu and Watson looked at each other, and they both glanced at Holmes who was bowing his head in thought.

Sitting on the return train, "Do you think that the nursery rhyme contained in "Ancient Greek Mythology" hints us that the Duke of Field is to Miss Field, just like King Lymenos of Argos is to his daughter."

Jiqiu was tired of looking at the fields passing by outside the train, so she looked away and asked the two companions beside her.

It's just that no one responded to her. Holmes has never been keen on these literary knowledge, and even felt that they occupy the memory of his brain. Watson was embarrassed. As a gentleman, he couldn't talk about this topic with a lady.

Jiqiu looked at the two men, sighed secretly, and lay lazily on the table.

A month later, Jiqiu looked at the new issue of "The Times" and looked at Mr. Holmes in surprise, "Sir, there are no Billy and Sophia on it. What made you change your mind?"

"Billy just moved the body, and Sophia helped change the clothes. If it is handed over to the higher authorities for trial, it is very likely that you will face the hanging." Holmes took the pipe and buckled it on the coffee table, and there were old ash everywhere. .

Field was a noted nobleman, alive

It is impossible for the relatives to let any of the participants go, at least for the sake of the rich inheritance of the Field Manor, they will also try to buy the relationship to turn the prison into a death sentence.It is obviously naive to judge by the relatively complete legal system of later generations.

Ji Qiu came to Holmes, "Mr. Holmes, tell me, how is my performance this time?"

Holmes slowly filled the pipe with tobacco, "It's not bad."

"Then do you lack someone who can listen to your reasoning when you are handling the case?" Ji Qiu asked sincerely.

"Watson has always been a good listener."

It was the first time for Watson who was sitting by the side to hear such a straightforward compliment from his friend, tears welling up in his eyes, it was not easy.

"Then you have to receive so many clients every day, you must have encountered a lot of difficulties in screening the clients."

Watson thought that in the past month, apart from helping some wives track down his husband's lover's entrustment, he was helping the old lady find a puppy, and his friend was about to go berserk.

"Is there not much that the gang at Scotland Yard can't find out?" Holmes sneered.

Jiqiu still refused to leave, "You only have Mr. Watson by your side now. You must know that Mr. Watson is your friend, and he has to go to work in the hospital by himself."

Watson finally understood that Miss Gary wanted to hire herself to be Sherlock Holmes's assistant. However, Miss Gary's talent for observation, apart from her age and gender, made her a very qualified assistant. If she could barely understand Holmes' thinking, it was already enough. Half of the qualifications, plus Miss Gary's communication skills are not weak, it is easy to adjust the relationship between his friends and clients. He has encountered many incidents where Holmes' weird personality offended clients.

"Holmes. I've been a little busy at the clinic recently." Watson coughed lightly to cover up.

Holmes put down his pipe and looked over with gray eyes without any concealment. Jiqiu felt that his whole body had been scanned.

"Don't worry, I will only accept a living wage. As long as your reasoning differs from mine, yours will prevail." Jiqiu knew how to climb up the pole.

"If your speculation is reasonable, I would like to listen to your opinion." Holmes moved his eyes away, "Gary, although the reasoning ability you have shown cannot match your experience, I would like to remind you that when you are incapable Don’t try to change certain norms at this time.”

Hearing that Holmes did not explore her true origin, he was still relieved. At first, Jiqiu thought it was because he knew

It doesn't matter if she said it, she still doesn't have any expectations that she can hide Holmes from Holmes, she might as well show it openly from the beginning.It would be better not to go to the depths to explore.

Just when Jiqiu was delighted to find a way to pay the rent to support herself, Mrs. Hudson put a copper plate on the coffee table.

'Must be an interesting case.I'm such a money-giving boy! Jiqiu thought happily.

"There is a young lady outside looking for Mr. Holmes," said Mrs. Hodson.

"Miss Mary Morstan." Holmes read the card, obviously not knowing the lady, "let her in."

Jiqiu felt that the name was a little familiar. There were too many people named Mary in England, so she didn't think too much about it.

Mrs. Hudson came in with a beautiful blond girl, who was petite among tall English girls, wearing black lace gloves, simple and plain clothes, big and bright blue eyes, elegant and sweet. There is no conflict in her at all.

"Mr. Holmes, I have known you for a long time." Mary Morstan looked at Mr. Detective excitedly, "I don't know if you still remember Mrs. Cecil Forrest. She used to be my mistress, and you helped him a lot. Big busy."

Isn't this the lady who checked her husband's mistress?

But in the end it was a big oolong. The husband wanted to buy a necklace for his wife who had been married for many years, in order to surprise her.

He prepared secretly for a long time, but was misunderstood by his wife that he ate secretly.Holmes settled the family dispute in less than a morning. If it weren't for the generous reward, Jiqiu felt that Holmes would not even look at it.

"Mrs. Cecil Forrester?" Holmes was quick to remember the incident. "A trifle."

"But Mrs. Cecil Fleet doesn't think so. She is impressed by your ability. I don't know who else can help me except you. This is the most unreasonable thing I have encountered in my life It's gone. It's really weird and unbelievable." The young lady's voice trembled slightly.

"Tell me about your case." Holmes' eyes lit up, and he was aroused.

"That's right. My father was an officer in the Indian Garrison and sent me back when I was very young."

Mary Morstan described it in detail, "...we made an appointment to meet at a hotel, but I have not received any news from my father. I sent a lot of missing person notices, but now."

Jiqiu finally knew who the person in front of her was, she quietly looked at it

Watson, who listened carefully, wasn't this Watson's second wife. This case also became a catalyst for the relationship between the two, and became their first step towards marriage.

Mary told everything she could think of in detail, telling as much as she could to help the case.

Jiqiu could see that she hadn't lied or concealed anything.This is really a client with high emotional intelligence and understanding of the rules.

It is really much better than those clients who even lie to hide certain scandals.

Mary behaved well, and even when she was disturbed, she did not show any faux pas.

Before leaving, he said goodbye gently, and even showed great kindness to Jiqiu, a child.

"What a beautiful girl!" Watson's eyes were full of admiration.

"She is a very elegant lady." Jiqiu looked down at the piece of toffee Mary gave her in his hand, and kicked the toffee into his pocket as usual, "However, the case still needs to be done properly."

"Really? Didn't pay attention." Holmes replied perfunctorily, continuing to think about the new case just now.

"Holmes, you look like a computer! I can't imagine what kind of lady would impress you!" Watson exclaimed.

"Watson, you have to remember that appearance is the most deceptive thing. To me, the client is just a carrier, and her appearance is of no use."

Holmes raised his eyelids, and continued to fiddle with the piece of paper left by Mary just now, "I have seen a beautiful woman who killed three young children in the name of adopting/children, just for the high sum of money Insurance money. I also saw a very ugly man who took out 25 pounds to help the poor."

"But I think."

Jiqiu looked at the two people who were about to quarrel, and quickly stepped in, "Let's take a look at Miss Morstan's commission first. After all, it's very interesting, isn't it?"

Although the long passage just now was addressed to Watson, Holmes' eyes were always on her.Obviously, he was also regarded as a soft-hearted person like Watson.

Jiqiu took the paper left by Mary, it was a letter left by Captain Morstan, "The handwriting is neat."

"I think anyone can see that." Holmes drew back the paper.

Forgive her, all I read in my previous life was Chinese handwriting identification, and there is even a saying that the characters are like a person.

But when he came to England, the memory left by Sigrid Gary was in his mind, which made Jiqiu's experience in handwriting observation like a blank sheet of paper.

"I have a bunch of letters left by former clients here. You read them all, and tell Watson the character and life of these people." Holmes hurried upstairs after leaving a sentence.

Jiqiu obediently followed upstairs and took a bunch of letters to the living room to chat with Watson.
