The next day, Jiqiu walked to the school gate 15 minutes earlier than the time agreed with Darcy, only to find that Darcy was already waiting there in a black three-piece suit.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." Jiqiu took out the slip from his pocket and handed it to the guard, and followed Darcy's footsteps to leave the school.

"I just arrived not long ago." Darcy's face remained normal, if Jiqiu hadn't noticed the dew on the surface of the leather shoes, he would have believed it.

After getting into the carriage, Darcy was the first to break the silence, "Are you short of money?"

Every time he thinks of seeing an article written by his junior in the "Moon Newspaper", he can't restrain the shock in his heart.

Darcy would not have been so surprised if Jiqiu had first contributed to the Daily Mail or The Times.

It's like you discover that a well-behaved and sensible child who is usually a well-behaved child suddenly engages in coloring on a coloring website.

"Well... I need money very much." Jiqiu hesitated for a while, but still told the truth, "So please, Mr. Darcy, keep this matter a secret for me."

"A lot?" Darcy frowned. He actually wanted to say that he could lend some to Mr. Hyde first.

But considering that the two of them are not that familiar yet, I don't know if Mr. Hyde will think this is a charity.

"Yes, a lot." Jiqiu nodded honestly, "But after this book is over, I don't plan to write any more."

In fact, she really wanted to continue writing, but after Darcy found out about this, she didn't believe that there was no impenetrable wall in the world. She didn't question Darcy's character, but she felt that the ventilation of this wall came from For himself, Jiqiu can't guarantee that he won't be negligent for the second time.

"Your level can go to a better place, and you don't have to choose such a newspaper."

"That's too easy to be discovered. Although in the end." Jiqiu sighed, leaned on the carriage, inserted one hand into his hair, and stroked his slightly curled golden curly hair, "I just want to fuck A quick buck, the straight one."

"I wish you success in the next negotiation." Although Darcy's words were harsh, his tone was much gentler than before.

The "Moon" newspaper office is located on Wigmore Street near the center of London, about [-] kilometers away from the small town of Windsor, and the carriage drove for an hour.

Jiqiu jumped out of the carriage first, subconsciously put his hand on the top of the door, and waited for a long time but did not see Darcy coming out.

Darcy held Jiqiu's wrist and pressed it down, and said with a dark face, "This etiquette is for the ladies." Then he got off the carriage and straightened the folds of his clothes

"Oh, I'll write it down." Jiqiu rubbed her hands in embarrassment, she thought whoever got out of the car first would do this.

"That's the person you want to meet." Darcy raised his chin towards the plain-looking man with glasses under an apartment building.

"Well, it should be." Jiqiu looked at the man who was gesturing to Darcy.

Editor Ryan also noticed two handsome men with noble temperament not far away. After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Mr. Jin?"

"It's me." Jiqiu smiled just right, seeing the unbelievable expression of the middle-aged man in front of him, he couldn't help but be amused, "It seems that my appearance is not in line with your imagination."

"Sorry, I always thought you were a distinguished lady." Ryan wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he quickly adjusted his expression and enthusiastically invited them into the newspaper office.

Jiqiu and Darcy followed Ryan into the reception room of the newspaper office.

"Oriental tea, I have always kept it for you." Ryan took out a box of tea from the cabinet and brewed it in a beautiful bone china cup.

"Thank you." It was the first time for Jiqiu to receive such a warm welcome, and he couldn't stand it, so he quickly introduced Darcy who hadn't spoken, "This is my brother Darcy, he was a little worried, so he followed me .”

"Oh, you brothers have such a good relationship. I didn't think you were so young, Mr. Jin."

Ryan's words were sincere, he looked at Jiqiu curiously, "May I ask, are you an adult?"

"No, it's still five years old." England is considered an adult at 21 years old, and Elvis Hyde is only 16 years old this year. Jiqiu realized this, and suddenly discovered that Darcy was also a minor. What should I do?

"I'm an adult this year." Darcy said the first words.

Ryan looked at Darcy's face, "I know, Mr. Darcy looks like an adult. Although my eyesight is not very good, I can't be wrong about this."

Jiqiu pursed her lips tightly, trying not to laugh.

"Then let's talk about novels. Mr. Jin's talent really amazes me. It's completely expected that "Sigrid Gary" will be so famous. I saw it from the first time. Just knew that Detective Gary would be a hit all over England."

Ryan blew a bunch of rainbow farts to Jiqiu when he came up, and then mentioned his own thoughts, "I am not the only one who thinks this way, everyone likes Gary very much. Since the novel was published, some readers have written to the newspaper. But we found that There are many speculators

Privately printed "Sigrid Gary" as a novel for sale. "

When Jiqiu heard the last word, one word came to his mind—piracy.

'I didn't expect piracy to be rampant now. '

"So we thought it would be better to publish it ourselves, and then add illustrations, which can restrain these methods to a certain extent." Ryan looked at Jiqiu expectantly, "What do you think?"

"I can do it." Jiqiu nodded, she is a complete novice in this field, she has only been in touch for a month, and she follows the advice of professionals.

Ryan's smile deepened, "Then let's talk about the contract."

"He doesn't understand this matter very well, talk to me." Darcy pressed Jiqiu's knee, his light brown eyes became sharp, completely different from the silent one just now.

Ryan glanced at Jiqiu and saw her nod in default, "Okay, then I'll talk to Mr. Darcy."

Jiqiu watched the confrontation between the two people back and forth, and finally sold the entire copyright of the entire book "Sigrid Gary" for two thousand pounds.

In the end, Jiqiu handed over the rest of the manuscript, and took two thousand pounds of manuscript fee to leave with Darcy contentedly.

Walking out of the newspaper office, Jiqiu realized that she was very familiar with this place. Baker Street is 400 meters away from Wigmore Street. She said with great interest, "Mr. Darcy, I invite you Let’s eat! 239 Baker Street is an Italian restaurant, and his pizza is delicious and authentic.”

Darcy felt a little hungry, so he nodded in agreement with Jiqiu's proposal.

"Mr. Hyde seems to be very familiar with this place?" Darcy looked at Jiqiu and ordered without looking at the menu.

"I've been here before." Ji Qiu looked back at the Lark's house sign outside the window, "I recommend you to try Italian soup and chicken fried ham roll pizza."

Of course Jiqiu is very familiar with this place, because every time she finishes a case, she will come here for a meal.

She was now sitting at the very place where she had dined with Holmes.Obviously every restaurant has not changed, but this world is missing 221B and Sherlock Holmes.

'I miss Mrs. Hudson so much. Jiqiu was cutting lasagna with a knife and fork. The old lady always regarded her as her own child, and even left most of her inheritance to her after her death, as well as Watson who often took care of her.

But her last world was already very complete, so there is no sentimentality in her heart except nostalgia.
