Watson came to Baker Street early in the morning to deliver wedding invitations to Sherlock and Mrs. Hudson.Mrs. Hudson was of course pleasantly surprised and gave him a big hug.

He managed to get rid of Mrs. Hudson, and Watson would have to listen to Mrs. Hudson recalling what happened 20 years ago.

Watson hurried upstairs, and with excitement and joy, he put the invitation cards for the two newcomers on the table in front of the sofa.He waited for a while without getting any response, and Watson coughed twice.

"Sherlock, I'm getting married, don't you have anything to say?"

Sherlock lay on the couch expressionlessly, and sighed after a while.

"Isn't this matter settled half a month ago? Are you happy now because of the invitation card with [-] styles selected?"

Well, one of the guidelines for getting along with Sherlock: Sherlock can never be expected to understand the feelings of ordinary people, because he doesn't have those feelings.

As a result, Watson was slapped in the face before he finished thinking, because Sherlock asked: "John, you have dated so many people, why did you decide to marry Mary?"

Watson subconsciously turned around to make sure Mary was not there, feeling guilty.It’s true that which pot can’t be opened and which pot can’t be lifted. Why do you have to advance your girlfriend when you’re about to get married, lest Mary won’t trouble him?

"Why are you curious about this, of course it's because I love Mary. She is a very tolerant girl, at least she can tolerate the existence of friends like you. How many girlfriends I had before was because of you. I was late for a date, you called the wrong person Name, pulling people away halfway, Mary managed to talk about it when you were killed."

Sherlock pouted, trying to help Watson recall his unreliable ex-girlfriend One Two Three Four.But thinking of Cynthia's words, he swallowed them again.

"So, I am concerned about whether your love life has really crossed the line?"

With a blink of an eye, Watson finally realized that something was wrong.He leaned forward and asked curiously: "Apart from me, who else is so miserable by you? Did his girlfriend blow it too?"

As a result, he got Cynthia's name, and Watson's expression immediately changed.There is a feeling that I seem to have heard a lie, what's going on with Sherlock?

"You're my best friend, Sherlock..."

Sherlock took it and said, "I won't be the master of ceremonies for your wedding, it would be nice to be able to attend."

Watson: ...Thought too much, with you as the master of ceremonies, I will not be able to survive if I am sick.

"No, we'll talk about the wedding later. Let's talk about Cynthia and you."

Sherlock finally sat up, staring at Watson emotionlessly with dead fish eyes who hadn't slept all night, signaling that he was listening.

"First of all, it is really wrong to interfere with a friend's private life at will."

Sherlock said impatiently: "Don't go around in circles for a long time, just talk about the conclusion."

Watson gritted his teeth: "Do you like Cynthia?"

Sherlock froze there for more than a minute.Watson held back his desire to wave his hand in front of him, it's better to give him time to think clearly.

After a few more minutes, Sherlock picked up the cup on the table and wanted to put it in his mouth without looking at what it was.Watson broke out in a cold sweat, and grabbed the measuring cup without even thinking about it.

This is the disadvantage of using the residence as a laboratory. Measuring cups and coffee cups are mixed on the table.Who knows whether you will be drinking coffee or a deadly chemical agent in the next second?

"Sherlock, please cherish your life! It's not that difficult to determine your intentions. Why do you speak so badly every time you see other men around Cynthia? Isn't it because..."

"Jealous?" Sherlock helped Watson say the word, then shook his head in denial.

"No, if there is a change in my mind, I can't be unaware. I'm sure I have complete control over my mind and body, and I'm sure there's no such thing as jealousy."

Watson nodded without persuading him.After all, there are not many people who can talk about Sherlock Holmes, and he is obviously not one of them.

"I hope so too. After all, you probably offended Cynthia a lot in the past few times. If you really fall in love with her, the scene will become ugly."

After all, Cynthia didn't seem like the kind of person who would turn back. Sherlock and her made too much trouble, and other friends would also be embarrassed.

Watson didn't worry too much, he had enough to worry about the wedding.He didn't care how much shock his words had brought to Sherlock, he went directly to the next friend to send the invitation.

Sherlock was left alone from morning to sundown, during which time Mrs. Hudson came up twice.Lunch and dinner were brought to him, but Sherlock didn't eat them until Lestrade came sprinting up.

"Sherlock, this case is really a bit strange. There are still more than a dozen suspects we screened out. The point is that the criminal portraits of each witness are different. Why is this? Is it a collective crime?"

Sherlock finally moved his stiff body, and he tilted his head. The first sentence was still sarcastic about Scotland Yard: "I'm not surprised at all that you can come to such a conclusion, let's talk about it."

The case was not complicated, it was just a robbery and murder case.The sun sets very late in London at this time of year, so the light is bright. Many passers-by and residents said that they saw prisoners fleeing in a hurry.

Sherlock clasped his hands together, his fingers closing and separating from time to time.He closed his eyes and created a separate space in his mind, with more than a dozen suspects standing in front of him.

According to different testimonies, Sherlock eliminated the suspects one by one, and finally only three remained.

One of the suspects suddenly said, "It's not me, it's Cynthia Crowley."

Sherlock turned his head, and Cynthia, who was wearing a red dress, appeared next to him at some point.She rarely wears such a bright color, let alone a true red lipstick.

Although she has a strong personality, Cynthia always gives people a gentle and non-aggressive feeling when she dresses up.Just like most women in this era, they only use a little care in some unobtrusive places.

"I'm solving a case, you shouldn't be here."

That Cynthia smiled, and she reached out her hand to touch the corner of Sherlock's lips: "If you didn't miss me, how could I be in your thinking palace?"

Sherlock glanced down at Cynthia's ungloved fingers. He felt a little heat at the corner of his lips, and it took a second for Cynthia's phantom to disappear.

He calmed down, and then continued to reason nonchalantly, until he found out the real culprit before exiting the thinking palace.

Lestrade was caught off guard by a name, and his subordinates quickly took out their notebooks and pens to write down Sherlock's reasoning.After listening to it, he suddenly realized that there was really only one murderer.

"By the way, do you have a female companion to go to John's wedding?"

In fact, what Lestrade meant was that if we didn't have one, we might as well go together, but after Sherlock took a look at him, Lestrade had a bad feeling.

"Looks like your ex-wife has a new boyfriend. Don't be too sad, Gleeson."

Lestrade: ...The bad feeling is confirmed, who else is Gleason?

The last Baker Street visitor had also left, and Sherlock finally felt the protest of his stomach.Clearing the table for his supper, curling his lips as he ate, Mrs. Hudson's cooking was as old as her recollection.

Sherlock dealt with dinner casually, and in order to prevent himself from wasting any more time on those things, he went directly to the bedroom to prepare for a deep sleep.He was lying straight on the bed, and there was no noise outside the window, but the noise in Sherlock's head was so loud that he couldn't sleep.

When he changed positions for the second time on No.30, Sherlock felt that he couldn't go on like this.He lay on his back, staring at the ceiling intently, trying to hypnotize himself.

Sherlock tries to keep Cynthia's memory locked away in an empty room, which is his way of dealing with memory.In his memory palace, Sherlock saw his childhood playmate Redbeard again. He lowered his head and stroked Redbeard's hair. After playing with it for a while, he wanted to leave the memory palace.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the red beard opened the door that had just been closed, and many Cynthias suddenly appeared in front of Sherlock.At the beginning, I met Kaikai and talked, then I was crying when I was kidnapped, and then I was in a state of embarrassment when I fell into the water.

Sherlock was pushed back a step by the huge memory, he covered his head and lowered his head, feeling for the first time that the memory palace was out of his control.

Is this destined to be another restless night?

Cynthia in Grantham's old house was the complete opposite.Cynthia felt that she could treat Sherlock calmly, provided that he could be a human being.

She also received Watson's wedding invitation today. Mary is a lovely lady, with a lively personality that matches Watson's kindness quite well.Attendance was assured, and Mary kindly suggested that she and Sherlock be seated a little further apart.

Cynthia directly said that there is no need to bother too much. She probably knew Mrs. Hudson and Sherlock at the wedding scene, plus at most Inspector Lestrade who had met twice.No matter how it was arranged, they would all sit at the same table, and it seemed that she cared a lot about separating them deliberately.

In addition, she plans to think about a suitable wedding gift in the past two days.This is the first time Cynthia has attended a friend's wedding, and she is still very curious about their wedding format.

Cynthia and Robert Cora went to a friend's wedding together before, and it was a bit too serious.Regardless of whether there is any relationship between the groom and the bride, everything at the wedding is too formal.When the cardinal witnessed the marriage, the audience was rather solemn without any frolicking.

It is completely impossible to clink glasses and fight for wine.

At that time, Cynthia thought that she didn't want her own wedding to be like that, she wouldn't be happy even if she wore the most expensive wedding dress and a crown that had been handed down for generations.

Now that I think about it, marriage is still far away from her. Maybe after another ten years, she will be able to travel and get married in the trend of the 21st century.The premise is that Robert will not think that Cynthia eloped directly, otherwise he may deny this daughter.
