[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth
Chapter 17 Law Firm
Recently, the villains in London have been surprisingly quiet. Sherlock has no case to refresh his brainwashing, and the whole person has fallen into a depression.
Boring detectives can do anything, so Watson has been rummaging through the London newspapers for the past two days.He wants to find a slightly interesting case for his roommate, and please don't be a monster. He just wants to sleep peacefully and doesn't want to listen to the passionate violin.
Watson sat at the table and flipped through the newspapers, "How about an unknown object found in the lower reaches of the Thames?"
Sherlock, who was lying on the sofa, closed his eyes and said, "It's boring, the name is just a gimmick of those authors, and it must be some upstream garbage in the end."
Watson glanced at the last line of the report, and it was exactly what Sherlock said.He reluctantly continued to turn over the next one. This time he learned to be smart and said that he had to read it to make sure it was a case before speaking.
After rummaging through the newspaper subscriptions, Watson found not a single case, and now he believed that the criminals in London were beginning to recuperate.
Sherlock had expected this result a long time ago, and he sighed: "A boring life."
He sat up on the sofa, took a match from the mantel and lit a cigarette.Pale and strong fingers gripped the cigarette skillfully, this was already his third cigarette today.Sherlock's favorite tobacco has recently run out, so he can only use cigarettes instead.
You must know that this is only the morning. As a doctor, Watson does not report any optimistic thoughts about his friend's physical condition.
Sherlock was half-smoked when Mrs. Hudson opened the door downstairs.
When Watson heard this, he put down the newspaper in his hand and said happily, "It must be a client. Maybe it's an interesting case."
Sherlock blew out a smoke ring slowly, "It's Lestrade, can't you hear his footsteps? He's been here so many times."
Sorry I can't do that, I really don't know what the difference is in footsteps.With these words clearly written on Watson's face, he stood up and opened the door for Lestrade. He wouldn't expect Sherlock to leave the sofa anyway.
It was indeed Lestrade who was at the door. He nodded to Watson and took off his hat slightly.
Then he walked towards Sherlock, "Theft and murder, there is not much evidence at the scene."
Sherlock said sarcastically, "You didn't find the evidence, it's always been there. And you ignore it every time."
Lestrade said, comforting himself that he could help solve the case, "We asked the neighbors around, but no one said we saw any suspicious person."
Sherlock silently thought that even if he had to personally handle the theft, the people at Scotland Yard were really becoming more and more incompetent.
"Place."
"74 Thames Avenue."
Sherlock habitually wanted to knock his pipe on the table, but when he lowered his head, he realized that it was a cigarette in his hand.He froze for a moment, then extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray on the table.
"I see, Watson?"
He was asking Watson if he wanted to go together. Watson was just happy that his roommate was finally going out. Hearing this, he quickly shook his head and said, "I won't participate. I'm going to the hospital this afternoon."
Sherlock didn't tell whether Watson really wanted to go to work or go on a date, he picked up the hanging hat and went out.
Watson could still vaguely hear Mrs. Hudson downstairs saying, "Thank God, Sherlock, you are finally going out."
74 Thames Avenue is inhabited by two ladies who have taken a job as a secretary in London and share it with another girl.
The young girls who were in their prime were lying lifeless on the ground. Sherlock first looked at the situation in the lower room, and then squatted down to examine the corpses.
The murder method was messy and irregular. It seemed that the murderer didn't come here specifically to kill someone.The room was turned into a mess, and it looked like Scotland Yard was right.
Lestrade added: "It can be confirmed that he did not come downstairs. The porter downstairs said that no one came downstairs last night."
I don't know if Sherlock heard it, and he didn't repeat it.
Sherlock got up and went to the window, opened it and looked out.He found some clues on the wall above, and he squinted his eyes, thinking that this case was not challenging.
He walked towards the door without saying a word, and Lestrade, who had long been used to guessing Sherlock's expression, knew he must have found something.
Lestrade hurriedly followed, and seeing Sherlock walking up the stairs, he couldn't help but said, "Above that is the rooftop, there is no way to go there."
"Criminals can't simply disappear."
Lestrade knew that he couldn't persuade him to follow him to the rooftop, pointed to another building at least ten meters away and said, "He can't jump over here, can he fly?"
Of course people can't fly, Sherlock saw a trace on the edge of the roof.His fingers caressed the mark, "Of course he can't fly, but he is not an ordinary person."
What do you mean by not being an ordinary person?Lestrade looked at Sherlock who obviously didn't want to explain to him, and swallowed the question.
This is how Cynthia met Sherlock in the circus, and the murderer of the robbery and murder was the acrobat.
After listening to his story, Cynthia couldn't help admiring Mr. Holmes. He solved a case in just half a day, and the efficiency can be said to be very high.
Only then did Jack remember who the person in front of him was. It turned out that he was a great detective who often appeared in newspapers.
Cynthia also told Sherlock about Sister Cynthia, including her thoughts.She wanted to find a lawyer to sign an agreement with the couple to prevent them from embezzling the performance fees of the two sisters, and to ensure that the two sisters could receive education.
After listening to all her thoughts, Sherlock couldn't help but think that this lady's experience today was more interesting than a boring robbery.
"This agreement must be rigorous enough to be effective."
Of course Cynthia knows this. She is not clear about the current law, so she will discuss this with a lawyer in detail.At least make sure that even if they go abroad, they can't violate the agreement, otherwise what's the point.
The couple standing behind had a bad look on their faces. According to the lady, they seemed to be getting nothing.
"Then which lawyer are you going to go to?"
Cynthia really didn't have any specific ideas about who should be a lawyer, except that she couldn't find someone who knew her well.In case of being stabbed to Robert, she really couldn't bear it and walked away. She was out of the school and in the circus.
Sherlock proposes a candidate, who is his alumni.After graduation, I recruited a few classmates to set up a law firm, and I heard that the cases have been fought very well in the past few years.
During the conversation, they decided to go to that firm now, and sign the agreement early to feel at ease.The couple is now ashamed, and the resistance is futile, so they treat it negatively.
The law firm was in a prominent position on the street, and Sherlock walked in the front.He gave his name to the secretary at the front desk, who asked them to wait.
The lady's eyes lingered on this group of very mismatched people for a long time. Maybe she didn't understand why such a group of people came to the law firm to fight for inheritance?
It must be that the name of Sherlock Holmes is very useful, and the secretary quickly let them in.No sooner had they entered than a gentleman rose to greet Holmes.
"It seems that my small office has welcomed a distinguished guest today. Long time no see, Holmes."
Sherlock nodded coldly, "Indeed, this is our first meeting after graduation, Spencer."
Spencer could not help but be surprised when he spotted a young lady standing behind Sherlock with sharp eyes.I didn't expect that there are women who can bear Holmes' temper, which is really the gospel of God.
Cynthia's face was still tightly covered, which showed that she didn't really want to reveal her identity.Spencer didn't ask the lady's identity, but introduced another person in the office.
"This is Mr. Matthew Crawley, a lawyer in Manchester, who also studied law at the University of London. He is very good at employment law and industrial law."
The same surname is Crowley, and they live quite close.Cynthia couldn't help but secretly looked at that Mr. Crawley. Could this be her relative?But I have never seen him in so many years, and he is actually a lawyer.
Sherlock glanced sideways at Cynthia, it was a bit of a coincidence, maybe this Mr. Crawley was really her distant relative.
It is undeniable that this Mr. Matthew Crawley is also very eye-catching, with blond hair and blue eyes, and he is very gentle when he smiles.He and Jack are completely different types, and Cynthia's eyes paused on Matthew, Jack and Sherlock.
She couldn't help but slander London for when there were so many beautiful men of all kinds, and she had seen so many in just how long she had been here.
While Cynthia was wandering, Sherlock explained their purpose to Spencer.Spencer was a little surprised. In fact, Holmes he knew was not a nosy person.
Cynthia spoke at this moment: "The agreement was signed by me and them. After that, they need to report to me the situation of the two sisters regularly. As the agents of the two sisters, they can get a certain amount of remuneration from the performance fees. After the two sisters become adults It's up to them whether the relationship ends or not."
Spencer probably understood the customer's demands, and said that he could simply draft an agreement and show them to both parties.
Then he discussed with Matthew in a low voice, and then went out and asked the secretary to type up two agreements and take them in.
It's no wonder that this law firm can gain a firm foothold in London, saying that the work efficiency is good.
Cynthia looked down and read the content carefully, and signed her name on the back of the document after confirming that there was no problem.
The couple looked at each other in blank dismay. If the two sisters became famous, the performance fees would increase accordingly. They could get a lot of money, at least higher than Mary's salary as a nurse.
It's not too hard to think about signing their names, so they signed their names accordingly.
The document is in duplicate, and the matter is considered complete.
Cynthia knelt down and formally introduced herself to the two sisters, and then left her address, asking them to remember to write or telegram her.
She watched them leave, and couldn't help but wonder what else she could do to help the two children.
"Okay, I'll take you back."
"It's over, take the lady home, Holmes."
Spencer and Jack, who spoke at the same time, looked at each other, oops, thought of going together.
The author has something to say: The Hilton sisters were very famous circus stars. At that time, their income was quite high, but they were all taken away by their guardians.Later, the lawsuit was won, but the two sisters did not end well, which is quite pitiful.
