[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth
Chapter 44 Acting
Sherlock's left cheek was red and swollen, showing how much effort Watson had just exerted.
On the other hand, Cynthia had nothing to do but panic, and Charlotte protected Cynthia with one hand and rang the electric bell of the Brioni mansion with the other.
The male servant inside the door came to answer the door. Seeing their scene, they knew what happened in their hearts.
"Mister and Madam, what are you?"
"Sorry to interrupt you so suddenly, we just got robbed in front. As you can see, they injured me, my wife was also frightened, and I won't be able to leave for a while. Can we stay here to rest? "
Sherlock really played a gentleman husband worried about his wife so well that Cynthia didn't have to talk.Anyway, he can do the whole thing by himself, and Cynthia just needs to hold the broken little handbag to her chest and hold her forehead in shock.
The male servant quickly accepted the reason and said that he still needed to ask the hostess to let them wait at the door for a while.
The door was ajar, and a female voice could be heard vaguely.The servant soon came back to invite the two of them in, and Sherlock thanked her repeatedly, while comforting Cynthia softly.
The master was at home, so of course it was impossible for the two of them to miss the kindly hostess.This was the first time Cynthia saw the legendary Irene Adler, and the first image she gave Cynthia was a pair of beautiful hands.
It was a pair of hands that could be seen to have been carefully maintained, and each nail was covered with red nail polish.With a glass of red wine in her hand, Cynthia looked up and finally saw her face.
Irene is indeed a well-known beauty, and she almost fascinated everyone in this neighborhood just by her face.Her short hair was slightly curled at the end, making her face even smaller.
Her figure is extremely graceful, which is completely outlined by the white short-sleeved dress. Women's clothing in the 10s was characterized by loose fit, and when it became popular in the 20s, it would become a straight dress, and people's aesthetics changed from bulging back to flat chest.
So Irene's outfit may not be very popular, but no one can say that she doesn't look good in it.This dress seemed to be tailor-made for Irene, and Cynthia wanted to praise Irene for being very beautiful with a forward-looking aesthetic.
"Hope you're not too frightened ma'am, that's how it is in this community. Those crimes are repeated. Sit down and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
The concern on Irene's face made Cynthia feel guilty for a while. After exchanging names, Irene sat next to Cynthia and called her Leah kindly.
Suddenly being renamed, Cynthia did not make a mistake in her busy schedule, and took up the conversation every time.Sherlock didn't even say the reason for getting ready, and he was temporarily relieved when he saw that the topic of the two women had gone from London to honeymoon.
Sherlock roughly scanned the structure of the house when he entered the door, and now he only needs to proceed to the next step.He tugged on his bow tie, said to the two ladies that he wanted to get some fresh air, and only walked to the window after getting permission.
Watson took the roll given by Sherlock and hid it in the bushes under the house. After seeing his hand signal after opening the window, he threw the straight roll up.
I don't know what Sherlock put in the straight tube, and the straight tube started to emit puffs of smoke almost as soon as it hit the ground.Actually, it really looked like a scene of a fire. Watson covered his face below and shouted loudly to the surroundings that it was on fire.
People on the street rushed to the house immediately when they saw thick smoke coming out of the window, and the manservant who opened the door was pushed away before he heard what he said.
Soon the servants on the first floor also saw the smoke surrounding the entire second floor, and hurriedly searched for water to put out the fire.
Cynthia, who had been mentally prepared, covered her mouth and nose immediately, and never left Irene next to her.She immediately walked towards the bell in the reception room, and there was actually a panel hidden on the right side of it. Irene quickly opened the panel and took out something from it.
As soon as she took out her hand, the door of the reception room was opened by the maid.
"Miss, it's on fire, get down quickly."
Of course Sherlock also saw Irene's actions, he shouted a few words to Leah, and bumped into Irene as if he couldn't find his wife.With his hand, he quickly fumbled away the things she hastily put in his pocket, and then naturally looked for them on the other side.
Under the shroud of smoke, no one saw Irene gave Sherlock a meaningful look, and then followed the maid out the door as if nothing happened.Sherlock was about to tell Cynthia to settle it and leave, when he suddenly found that there was no one in the room except him.
He had no choice but to pretend that he didn't find his wife and went downstairs in a very anxious manner. He pulled people along the way and asked, "Did you see my wife? My God, she and I got separated in the smoke."
After asking the third person, he pointed to the door and said that he saw a lady go out just now.Sherlock was worried that Irene would realize that the things were gone, so she walked out of the house quickly.
The people outside the door who came to help put out the fire at the beginning were all actors invited by Sherlock to see how he should cover up and retreat as soon as he came out.
After the servants poured all the water they could find, it was discovered that there was no sign of scorching in the drawing room.There was only one round cylinder lying alone in the corner, and the maid cursed angrily and said that she didn't know who was playing the prank, while Irene showed no sign of anger.
Sherlock found Cynthia a street away, and she had already met Watson.
"Good job, good job. John, your throwing time is really accurate, and Cynthia's disguise is very successful, you helped me attract her full attention, very good, very good."
Sherlock was so excited that he seemed to step forward to give them both a hug, completely ignoring Cynthia's early departure.He thought it was because the smoke was too smoky, and Cynthia couldn't take it anymore, so she went downstairs. Anyway, he could just leave the rest to himself.
"Guys, it's time for acceptance. Let's go back to Baker Street without further ado and call McCoff over. Let him see how I managed to do what I failed to do so many times. of."
Cynthia sincerely hoped that Sherlock would still be so happy when Mycroft came.After all, it all went too smoothly, unbelievably smoothly.If Irene could get Holmes off so easily, how could she be called that woman.
The three of them had almost reached Baker Street with Mycroft, and it seemed that McCoff's men had been keeping watch on the house.The mischievous fire case that happened just now, Mycroft heard that it was Sherlock's handwriting, so he came here without waiting for the notice.
"So, you got it."
Not a question but a statement, and Mycroft knew from Sherlock's expression that he had succeeded.He let go of his hand on the cane, and placed it in front of Sherlock as a gesture to give him something.
Sherlock triumphantly took out a thin letter from his pocket. The cursive script on the envelope was very classic, and it was vaguely recognizable as Edward.He put the letter in the palm of Mycroft's hand, turned and sat on the sofa, stretching his legs.
Sherlock undid a few buttons of his suit and took it off.Sitting there laughing like a psychopath for a while, he actually choked while laughing.
This was the first time Cynthia had seen him so happy, and saving a royal scandal would not make him so happy.Presumably Sherlock is happy that he defeated Mycroft, he is as naive as a child at such an old age.
Before Sherlock laughed and collapsed on the sofa, Mycroft sneered and threw the letter on the ground indifferently.
Sherlock finally stopped, and he raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, dear brother. Once you get it, it's worthless? Don't you have to return the letter to that person yourself?"
"It is necessary to take it back only if it is a genuine letter. Unfortunately, this letter is a fake."
Before Sherlock could speak, Watson said, "That's impossible. Sherlock took it out of her room with his own hands. How could it be fake. Unless..."
Mycroft put his hands on the cane, and said with a fake smile: "Unless she knew you would come to the door early in the morning, you were tricked by her, dear Xiali~ I don't know what you were happy about just now, congratulations! Rising, now we don't know where she's going to divert the letter, maybe her lawyer or someone else. You better hope she doesn't poke it out all at once."
Sherlock's smile faded with every word he said, until he was almost cold and pale by the end.Sherlock picked up the letter on the ground and soon knew something was wrong.
It is true that the letter paper and pen and ink are used by the royal family, but the handwriting is different. Mycroft showed Sherlock the handwriting of the crown prince.I'm afraid only the envelope is real, and Irene may have copied a copy of the contents inside, and Sherlock's hand holding the letter paper has clenched into a fist.
Just when McCoff was about to leave, Cynthia stopped him: "Then would you like to read this letter?"
Apart from nodding politely to her just after entering the door, Mycroft cast his gaze on Cynthia for the first time.There is actually a thin piece of paper in her hand, connect this piece of paper with her words, is this a real letter?
The three men present looked at Cynthia in disbelief, and Mycroft took the letter from her.Watson almost held his breath, waiting for Mycroft to announce the results. Sherlock looked carefully at Cynthia again and thought about where she found the letter.
It didn't take long for this to be judged, and Mycroft quickly put the letter into his pocket: "It's true, can you tell me how you did it? Miss Crawley, you actually found it it."
It was the first time that Cynthia wanted to avoid Sherlock's eyes. She cleared her throat and said slowly: "From the moment the fire started in the reception room, it went very smoothly. Miss Adler doesn't seem to be such a defenseless person. She is very smart." ..."
"You said before that you didn't know her, but you knew she was smart and witty when you first met?"
Sherlock's interruption attracted the attention of two people, and Watson even hissed at him.
Cynthia smiled awkwardly: "Just take it as a woman's intuition. Anyway, I started to doubt when she easily took out the letter from the secret compartment, so when she left that place, I opened the secret compartment again , found that there is still a hidden layer inside, I found this inside and ran away before I had time to see what it was."
"Well done, look at this brilliant lady, when you stole the false letter, the real letter was found."
Mycroft applauded Cynthia twice. After receiving the letter, he was about to go to work and did not stay in Baker Street for long.
Only the silent Sherlock and Watson who secretly gave Cynthia a thumbs up were left.
Cynthia's mouth leaked two points of smile. If Sherlock could tell her that the other party was Irene earlier, maybe she could remind him a few words.As a result, the action was rushed, and Cynthia could only keep an eye on herself.
The author has something to say: Thank you, young man, for watching your amazing land mines, and the rocket launcher that the lion of Winterfell threw yesterday. I received it, and I will let you spend it!
