Cynthia, who originally planned to return to Downton after finishing her work, somehow agreed to someone's words and came to Sepentine Street in St. John's Wood.Looking up at the Brioni Mansion now, Cynthia really wanted to shake her head hard to see if her head was full of water!

When Sherlock meets the goddess, why does she come to join in the fun?Blame the detective for not mentioning Irene Adler's name until now!

Time went back to the restaurant last night. After all the explanations, McCoff finished his dessert and left early.Sherlock sat at the dining table and flipped through Irene Adler's information for a while. She is the chief female singer of the Warsaw Imperial Opera House, alto.

The attached photos were taken when she was performing, and there were also sneak photos of her hurrying home.After Sherlock got her address, he was thinking about how to get the letter. It was impossible for her to carry this kind of handwritten letter with her, it was not safe.

He tapped his temple with the index finger of his right hand, then turned suddenly and strode towards the table behind him.

Sherlock propped his hands on the table, his eyes bright with the thought of a good plan.The beef on Cynthia's fork fell off, and the waiter next to her saw that people around her were constantly paying attention, so she stepped forward to remind her.

"Sir, please keep your voice down so as not to disturb others' meals."

Cynthia smiled apologetically at him, and whispered to Sherlock, "Have you finished your meal? Sit down and talk about something."

Sherlock didn't feel any embarrassment after being condemned at all, he almost rubbed his hands excitedly.The waiter helped him open the seat opposite Cynthia, and he waved his hand and sat on Cynthia's right side.

The last bite of meat on Cynthia's plate had just dropped on the table, and the waiter took the plate away with a wink, indicating that she would serve dessert later.

"I need a lady to play my wife."

Cynthia's lips just touched the water in the glass. Fortunately, Sherlock spoke quickly, otherwise she would have coughed to death if she didn't spit it out.She reached out and pushed the cup away, thinking that in order for the two of them not to be kicked out of the restaurant, they should wait for Sherlock to leave before drinking.

"A commission? But I'm not good at acting. I'm not sure I can do well. Why don't you go to the theater and hire an actress?"

Cynthia knew that Sherlock must have made this request because of the needs of the case, and there was no other meaning, but it seemed that it was not a wise choice to find herself.

Sherlock shook his fingers: "No, the performance marks of the actresses in the theater are too serious, and the other party has also received this kind of training and it is easy to see the flaws. Tomorrow you will talk and act as usual, it is very simple, I will tell you what It’s time to do what. Just trust me.”

It is not difficult to believe Sherlock, but the thought of Gwen Cynthia hesitates.Sherlock seldom asks her. Even if the other person is not the person he likes, this simple request for the person who saved him twice should be satisfied.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your maid who has a class at night."

Cynthia assured that in the first ten minutes of the meeting, she had not mentioned the slightest news that Gwen was going to class.I don't know how Sherlock sees another person in himself.

Anyway, Cynthia finally agreed.Sherlock made an appointment with her on Baker Street tomorrow afternoon, and Cynthia could finally enjoy her own dessert after he finished talking.

When Gwen waited at the door and saw the person who came out with Cynthia, her pupils shrank.Isn't that Mr. Holmes who came to Downton before? The last murder left a deep impression on her, so it is impossible to forget his appearance.

Did Miss Cynthia meet him by chance or simply make an appointment to have dinner together?Gwen gave Cynthia a coat, and watched the lady say goodbye to the man with an inexplicably excited expression.

After Sherlock left, Cynthia told Gwen that they might stay in London for another day.Gwen thought a little that the lady's sudden change of mind might have something to do with that gentleman.

Sure enough, Cynthia refused Gwen's company the next day, saying she wanted to go out alone.Gwen lived alone in the hotel, and suddenly thought that if the master knew that the gentleman he almost called a brother might become his son-in-law, he wondered what the master's expression would be.

Mrs. Hudson was returning from an appointment when Cynthia pressed the bell.Wrinkles can't hide the vigor of the old lady who recognized Cynthia at first sight. She opened the door with a key and told Cynthia that the two upstairs had left at eight o'clock in the morning.

It may be that they went to the spot first. Since they didn't come back, Cynthia didn't go to the second floor, but sat on the first floor and chatted with Mrs. Hudson.

When Sherlock returned to Baker Street, when he opened the door, he heard Mrs. Hudson's laughter from the living room downstairs.Hahaha lasted for more than ten seconds, making Sherlock a little worried that the old lady laughed and lost her breath.

Finally, Mrs. Hudson stopped, and finally Cynthia's voice came out.Sherlock removed the beard from his face, and casually touched the red paint on his cheek.

He knocked on the living room door, "Mrs. Hudson, you can rest your laughing muscles. Mrs. Cotton, don't forget why you came to Baker Street. I didn't ask you to make Mrs. Hudson laugh."

Mrs. Hudson opened the door, and after hearing Sherlock's words, she said regretfully: "You are married at such a young age? It's not like that, don't girls who have read books now pursue freedom? How big is it. It’s not good to get married too early, and you will lose confidence in marriage if you realize the bad nature of those men too early.”

Sherlock rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "Really? Mrs. Hudson, I don't think you're lost. Your morning appointment with the owner of the bakery in front went well."

Watson, who was following behind, looked at this and that, and asked puzzledly: "Who is married? Miss Cynthia? No way, didn't we just meet at school?"

Cynthia could only pull a very innocent smile that I don't know anything about.Being married came too fast, and she didn't get used to it.

Sherlock took off his tattered coat, revealing his white shirt, and hugged Cynthia.

There was a perfect smile on his face, and he introduced to Watson: "Hello, I am Anderson Cotton, and this is my wife, Amelia Cotton. We met when we were young and got married last year. Just returned to London from our honeymoon in Europe."

It was only then that Watson and Mrs. Hudson realized that both of them had false identities, and it was just for the convenience of going out later.

Before Cynthia came back to his senses, Sherlock let go of himself. In fact, he did not touch Cynthia's shoulder with his hand.Sherlock's hand was clenched into a fist and placed lightly on it. After explaining, he left this group of people to take care of his bad image.

Five minutes later Sherlock came down in Hackett's suit.British suits emphasize fit, with straight shoulders and thicker fabrics.At the beginning of the twentieth century, the tailors of Savile Row in London valued conservativeness and orthodoxy more than those jumping colors and styles of later generations.

The carriage that Sherlock had ordered was already waiting for them at the door, so he helped Cynthia into the carriage before he could explain more to Cynthia.

Cynthia was still secretly happy that her crush on Welfare came too soon, when she heard a name that was enough to make her face change.

"You mean the target this time is Irene Adler?"

Sherlock didn't understand where her overly excited reaction came from. He recalled that Irene's life trajectory had nothing to do with Cynthia.

"You know her?"

Cynthia dawdled and said, "I've heard her name, did you go to observe her this morning?"

"Well," Sherlock put his hands in his pockets, "I went to inquire about her living habits in the morning, and she should still be at home at this point. If our performance is successful later, we should be able to get the letter easily. "

Cynthia recalled the original book. Ms. Irene was married in the original book, but in many remakes of film and television dramas, she is the heroine who has a close relationship with Sherlock Holmes. How can such a character get married.In the original book, Sherlock was entrusted by a king who had a relationship with Irene. This time, I don't know who and what kind of letter he wants to get back.

"So your father was a royalist?"

Cynthia didn't understand why Sherlock suddenly deviated from the subject, she nodded: "Well, my father is one of the typical nobles who are close to the royal family."

Sherlock smiled and said meaningfully: "Then I'm afraid you might be able to help your father today."

What does this have to do with Robert? Could it be that this case was commissioned by the royal family.Cynthia looked at Watson in disbelief, and Watson who was watched shrugged and said that he didn't know the details.

Sherlock, who had been here once, found the Brioni Mansion easily. Cynthia looked up at the small and exquisite two-story villa.Needless to say, the decoration inside is also very gorgeous. Maybe if you stand underneath for a long time, you can be the first to appreciate Irene's graceful figure from the floor-length window.

Of course, Sherlock would not knock on the door hastily, but led them a little ahead.In this short tens of meters, Cynthia was whistled two or three times by the unscrupulous guards next to her.

There was a group of people smoking and laughing loudly at the corner. Sherlock protected Cynthia inside. At this moment, his expression seemed to overlap with that of a man who loves his wife.Even if Cynthia knew that he was skilled in dressing up, she was fooled by him for a moment.

As a result, when no one was there, he became Sherlock Holmes again.Sherlock restrained all expressions, and said to Watson, "Now, punch me in the face."

Watson froze for a moment, he didn't get the script either.The other party is my friend, so how can I do it.Apparently Sherlock also knew that the friend who didn't provoke his anger was a gentle doctor, so he struck first.

Cynthia enjoyed a record of friends fighting each other, and Watson pinched Sherlock's collar and said viciously: "I have been on the battlefield, Sherlock!"

She pulled Watson symbolically, and Sherlock didn't straighten his collar, but stared at Cynthia's handbag.

The next moment, the exquisite embroidery on the handbag was cut open with a knife, and the lipstick and small change inside fell off with a crackling sound.

Sherlock said without apology: "I'm sorry I forgot to remind you not to bring too many odds and ends. Our characters are a couple who were robbed and a kind doctor. So it is impossible to keep change. If you like lipstick, you can keep it."

Cynthia: ... Immediately regretting stopping Watson just now, can you give him another punch, and I will give you all the money on the ground.

The author has something to say: Chinese New Year is Chinese New Year, the shameless stupid fish went to harvest a wave of New Year's money ~ happy, it may be the last year to get it.
