Miss Watson of the Sherlock Holmes

Ursula had a prejudice against all patriarchs or middle-aged males who projected a position of authority, and she never tried to correct that.

So when the old earl suddenly invited them to talk with this attitude that you must understand me, and you must want to know what I am going to say, she resolutely refused: "I don't think there is anything to talk about, Your Excellency .From your standpoint, there is no need to explain to us, and the entrustment we accept has nothing to do with you."

"You think so too, Mr. Holmes?" He turned to Eric, raising his eyebrows.

"Of course, I think the same way. Although you haven't shown up, depending on the situation, you must have other ways to know what happened underground. What you and your family do has nothing to do with us, so there is no need." Little Holmes Lifting up, taking back the hat from Ursula's side, saying goodbye to each other: "Goodbye, Your Excellency."

The two turned their heads and left, Miss Helena and Miss Rosalie also saluted perfunctorily and followed.As for Adonis, who specializes in muddy water, he slipped away long ago.

"He actually has the face to talk to you, why didn't he talk to Rosalie, the victim, a coward who only showed up after the incident!" On the carriage home, Miss Helena scolded the old earl angrily. In the carriage, he waved his right hand excitedly: "And that man with a mole of tears! He ran away!"

"Really, Ursula. Can't Scotland Yard really arrest them?"

"Adonis can also blackmail him in the name of robbery of jewels. After all, he didn't return my jewels, but Earl Bruno, let alone social status issues, from a worldly point of view, they are Didn't really do anything." Ursula shrugged regretfully.

"But it can still cause them some trouble." Little Holmes took out a black ball from his pocket and poked it.

The little black mass made a strange coughing sound, and then spit out something with a puff, which was a piece of paper with scorched marks.

"I think in your hands, such a thing should be of great use." He handed the piece of paper directly to Miss Helena.

"This is?" Miss Helena looked down at the yellowed piece of paper, first frowned, then smiled. "You're right, this is to cause him some trouble. Leave it to me, Mr. Holmes, but will it be a little sorry for Sophie and James, after all, they really don't know anything."

"But if they still choose the family after this time, then they should learn to face all this." Eric said coldly. "You ought to know that better than I do, don't you?"

Ursula was full of curiosity about the paper, but since Eric didn't mean to show her, she didn't say anything under the circumstances.

"Miss Helena's father is a member of parliament, a gentleman with high political ambitions." After sending the two ladies home, Holmes said this to Ursula.

"But Count Bruno is also involved in these parliamentary activities?" Ursula didn't know anything about political figures in London, but she felt that the guys on the magic side shouldn't be so active.

"He has had this kind of movement in the past few years. Although considering their secret identities, I think he actually intends to control Scotland Yard, but other gentlemen in Vanity Fair don't necessarily think so, and..." Eric hesitated After a while, he continued: "Miss Helena is very active in the social world and is keen to make friends."

"I understand, I will grasp the scale of interacting with her." Ursula said clearly, the daughter of a congressman with great ambitions, Miss Helena is not easy.She is now acting as the fiancée of Eric Holmes, which is actually quite sensitive. After all, the other party's father, Mycroft Holmes, lives near Whitehall Street.

"I'm sorry, because of me, you have stained your relationship with your friends with impurity." The young detective said with some apologies.

"But there are not so many pure friendships in this world. The so-called purity, one is enough." Ursula smiled seeing him like this. "Mr. Holmes has only one Watson."

Eric was amused by Ursula's transparent attitude: "What about my dear Miss Watson, would she also want to have a Sherlock Holmes?"

"Well~ What she wants now is..." Ursula showed her white teeth, and raised a smile that definitely didn't meet the standards of a lady nowadays. "Enjoy the fruits of betting on a Sherlock Holmes."

……

The huge cruise ship heading to Egypt is docked by the harbor, and the pier is full of bustling send-off crowds. Two extreme emotions, tears and laughter, appear in this atmosphere at the same time.

"Strange, why haven't you seen Eric yet?" Dr. Watson stood with his luggage and asked Ursula suspiciously, "Why did he board the ship alone in advance?"

"Huh? Uncle John, who is Eric?" Ursula tilted her head with a blank face: "Is your friend? Is he going to Egypt with us too?"

Dr. Watson was confused by Ursula's question, but he was already very familiar with the temperament of the two children, and he quickly realized: "What are you two doing?"

"I have an appointment with him. I have to pretend not to know him." Ursula said. She glanced at her uncle, and sure enough, she saw the familiar expression on the uncle, but it was usually the speechless expression that would only be shown to Mr. Holmes' strange operations. .

"For what?" asked Dr. Watson, puzzled.

"For a bet." Ursula used a statement that sounded very reasonable, and in fact it was a bet. She won, and then asked Eric to guarantee a face to strangers at the beginning of the journey. posture, re-acquainted with her.

Although little Sherlock Holmes seems to be very active in making this fake marriage contract a reality every day, but he is still very upset knowing that the reason why he happened to meet him on the train was to "catch" her, a foreign star.

Ursula felt that marriage contract, although it achieved mutual benefits to a certain extent, also made Eric too confident.After all, she was already a "fiancée" anyway.If it's really the kind of agreement at the beginning, it's fine. Now, according to the character of little Sherlock Holmes, break the engagement and pursue it again?How can it be?

"If the situation you mentioned happens, the other party's brain must be broken." Eric said after Ursula told him a few very green jj-style stories about breaking off an engagement and falling in love again.

"Fate has handed you all the opportunities, but you want to let them go? Sorry, Ursula, I'm not the type to let the prey go." The other party made no secret of his true thoughts, making Ursula Hugh sighed.

But he was a little too smug!Ursula thought that she couldn't bear the other's appearance that it was only a matter of time. (Although she herself feels that it may really be a matter of time.)

So, after returning her talent to Miss Rosalie first and winning the bet, Ursula made a request to little Sherlock Holmes, who could not break the engagement even if killed, and went through the difficult mode from scratch.

"Let's get to know each other again, the kind of re-acquaintance that started from the first self-introduction." Ursula squinted at the young detective. "Of course, there is a time limit for this situation. From boarding the cruise ship to arriving in Egypt, let's see how far you can impress me."

"That is to say, if I behave positively, it's okay to disembark and we go to the engagement process again, right?" Eric mused.

"..." Ursula looked at Mr. Detective, who didn't look unhappy at all, and felt that something was wrong.But for a while, she couldn't think of any other tricks. After all, what conspiracy could they have on their way to Egypt.The sea is not Eric's domain, and it is difficult for him to do some goblin tricks without being noticed by her.

Originally, there was still a small obstacle in this plan, that is, if two people wanted to pretend to be strangers, then Ursula would obviously travel alone, but the almighty Mr. Holmes gave her a surprise.

"Watson, you should go too, to meet your cousin, who I haven't seen for a long time, and travel with my lovely niece to share the family happiness." Mr. Holmes said lazily.

Dr. Watson looked at his friend in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to do so actively to persuade him to go out all of a sudden. Sure enough, Mr. Detective revealed his purpose immediately after.

"It just so happens that I have received an entrustment from Egypt. In this case, you can help me go and check the situation first. I will go there after I have dealt with the matters in London."

"Egypt? Oh, Holmes. When did your business expand to Egypt?" Dr. Watson asked in surprise.

"Just last month, the client, like Ursula's parents, was also a British scholar who went to Egypt for archaeology. So he chose to contact me after encountering a strange incident." He took out a folded sheet from the pocket of his dressing gown. The letter was passed to Dr. Watson and motioned for him to read.

"Could it be the curse of the Pharaoh?" Ursula thought about it, and said that this is usually the strange thing that can be encountered in Egypt?Since British archaeologists went to Egypt at the end of the 1920th century, rumors of this curse have always existed. However, it is really necessary to wait until the curse after the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb in [-] for this legend to be exaggerated by the media.

"Huh? Is this kind of curse saying very common?" Mr. Holmes looked up with interest.

"Not so often now," said Ursula objectively. "After all, the major newspapers still need to wait for this group of archaeologists to return to China and die of old age, unfortunately get sick, or fall into a trough in life and feel overwhelmed, so that they can write about it."

"You understand, follow up and report." Miss Witch nodded seriously. "The subject matter of novels that can attract attention, those archaeologists can eat off and on for as long as they live."

Mr. Holmes was amused by Ursula's somewhat unkind assessment of the press.

"Are Professor Watson and his wife also studying pyramids?"

"No, for some reason, they are more interested in studying the local folk culture and did not participate in any excavation work. However, they should join some of the post-deciphering work of the team of some friends."

"Interesting, maybe I need to ask your parents some professional questions. Because the story of our client has nothing to do with the curse, but there are many symbols of the local culture." Mr. Holmes said with his hands folded.

But he didn't go into details, and Dr. Watson didn't intend to read the letter to the two of them.

"Wait until Egypt, in case you two mess around without my knowledge." That's what he said.

That was why Ursula set off with her dear Uncle John.

"So I have to pretend not to know him later?" Dr. Watson suddenly thought of a key point, he lowered his head and asked his niece.

"Please!" Ursula made a please gesture.

"Ha, now I think it's interesting." Dr. Watson didn't know what he thought of, and smiled heartily. "By the way, he doesn't get in touch with us all the way, or he will get to know us again."

"The funniest kind." Ursula laughed too. "Dear uncle, please treat him as a little bastard close to your lovely junior."

The two Watsons looked at each other and reached a consensus.
