The two went to the Goose Club first, and then learned about the source of the goose. When they searched along the way, they found that another gentleman was also looking for the goose.The only difference is that this gentleman knows the origin of the goose, and what he wants to know is the whereabouts of the goose, which is exactly the opposite of what Holmes and the others are looking for.

So Holmes invited people back to Baker Street, took out the sapphire, found out the truth, and the case came to light.

Holding hot tea in her hand, Su Li asked the last question: "So, what about that sapphire? Has it been returned to the lady?"

Watson shook his head: "I'm curious about that too. But Holmes will always give us the answer, he can't hold back!"

Coincidentally, Holmes just came out of the room in his dressing gown. Hearing this, he glanced at the two of them, went to the table and sat down, picked up the stationery and began to write.

Curious, Su Li walked over to have a look. It was written for the lady. She moved closer and pressed her face next to Holmes's to read the words on it.But in fact, she didn't read a single word...

Holmes' face was so slippery, and the warm touch was great!

Watson: "...Miss Mary, what did Holmes write?"

"Ah?! Oh, um, Holmes wrote it, um—" Su Li stood up abruptly, and quickly glanced at the letter paper spread on the table. There was only a polite address written on it...

"Holmes hasn't started writing yet!" Su Li finally replied.

Watson curled up his mouth and laughed when he heard this: "Seeing how long you've been watching, I thought Holmes had written a long essay! Didn't he start writing?! Hahaha..."

Su Li bowed her head shyly when she heard this, walked away from Holmes, walked towards the door of the living room, and said, "I'll make a pot of black tea for you!"

It's not like running away, but it's just that the posture is a bit awkward...

She sorted out her mood, went upstairs with the black tea, and then turned and went downstairs.Sitting around the fireplace in the first-floor living room with Mrs. Hudson, she embroidered.It's a great way to pass the time.

Christmas Eve is coming soon.

Perhaps because those villains also went to accompany their families, Holmes did not receive any case that day.This pleased both Watson and Mrs. Hudson.

Several people decorated 221B Baker Street together, creating a warm Christmas atmosphere. Su Li and Mrs. Hudson worked together for a long time and prepared a large Christmas dinner.Several people put on the most decent clothes and sat down at the dining table.Talking and laughing so happy!

Holmes also got up and played a lively tune on the violin for them!

Mrs. Hudson had already seen what Su Li was thinking, and even got up and suggested that she could also play a song for everyone.But the piano was downstairs, so they went downstairs again to listen to Mrs. Hudson's performance in the spacious living room on the first floor.At the request of the old lady, Su Li and Holmes danced together.

When Su Li's hand was held in the palm of Holmes's, her face blushed suddenly, and she looked extremely glamorous under the bright candlelight.Mrs. Hudson gestured to Watson while playing the piano and said, "What a perfect couple! Isn't it?"

Watson, who was sprinkled with dog food, nodded helplessly, looked at Su Li and Holmes who were still dancing on the other side of the room, and deeply felt that this originally warm living room also made his heart cold...

The loneliness of a single dog is empty and cold...

Su Li didn't have time to care about Watson's emotions, she put all her mind on dancing with Sherlock Holmes.Every spin, every separation, every re-embracing made her feel unparalleled joy from the bottom of her heart.

The Christmas dinner was over, Su Lila held the freshman Sherlock Holmes who wanted to go back to the room, and pleaded with her eyes: "I have something to say to you, Mr. Holmes."

When Mrs. Hudson heard this, she glared at Holmes in displeasure and said, "If you want to talk about me, it makes sense for a man to speak first!"

Su Li turned her head to look at Mrs. Hudson and smiled flatteringly, but she didn't let go of Holmes' cuff.Of course such a good man needs to act quickly!What if such a good man is snatched away by others? !

The two sat down in the living room on the first floor, and Su Li took out two glasses of milk from the kitchen and put them on the table.She sat on the chair and took a sip of milk, pursed her lips, and straightened her skirt with some unnatural movements, which had been creased just now because of dancing.

Holmes has been sitting opposite Su Li and observing her. Obviously, he knows exactly what the girl is going to say.However, now he intends to refuse.During the nearly two months of getting along, he knew that Su Li was a very good lady.She is proficient in all the skills necessary for ladies in this era, and also has good skills and extraordinary courage.Of course, her pretty face also added a lot to her.

However, Holmes had no intention of marrying, at least not yet.

Su Li's thoughts can be seen through by Holmes at a glance, but she cannot see through Holmes.So, after twitching for 2 minutes, she spoke——

"Mr. Holmes, I think you must have seen my affection for you with your observation and wisdom. I am pleased with you, I am impressed by your wisdom, and I am even more fascinated by your heroic demeanor when you solve the case. I encourage you Take the courage to convey my inner feelings to you, and hope to get an affirmative answer..." After saying this, Su Li stroked her chest and took a light breath.After saying the words, she felt a lot better in an instant.

Even now she has not waited for a satisfactory answer.

Holmes's tone was soft, but no bargaining was allowed: "You are a very outstanding lady. I can guarantee that there are only a handful of outstanding ladies like you in my life. But I'm sorry, I have I have no plans to start a family."

The concept of love in Britain in this era is actually similar to that in China. To fall in love is to get married. If you have no intention of getting married and establish a relationship with a lady, it is equivalent to an insult to a lady...

Su Li sighed in her heart, twisted her handkerchief with her fingers, and looked up at Holmes with a smile on her face: "I am 18 years old this year, and I will only be 20 in two years. I am very young, and I am not short of money." , I have the capital to continue pursuing you."

What's the big deal about getting rejected!How lucky she must be to be able to live under the same roof as Holmes. If she really succeeds in confessing once, she may really doubt whether she is the illegitimate daughter of God.

She stood up and straightened her skirt: "It's late at night, Mr. Holmes should also go upstairs to rest! Good night."

She walked into her bedroom maintaining her demeanor, put on a loose nightgown, lay on the bed and hugged the quilt, rolled half a circle and muttered——

Next time, what posture should I use to take advantage of Holmes?

If I knew I didn't need a bold character, I should have used a cowardly character!In this way, if something happens, she can get into Holmes' arms!Alas... what a mistake!

The next morning, as soon as she got dressed and walked out of the room, she was held back by Mrs. Hudson. The old lady winked and said, "How is it? Has Holmes completely fallen under your charm?!"

"Auntie, are you joking..." Su Li waved her hand embarrassingly: "Have you rented the house to Holmes for so many years and still don't understand him? Obviously, I failed. After all, in his eyes now, I There is no case that attracts people!" But it is possible that she will not have a case that attracts people in this life... After all, he is Sherlock Holmes...

Mrs. Hudson laughed when she heard this, and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Holmes' favorite is to solve crimes. You don't know, one day before he hadn't had a case for too long, he anxiously used the wooden barn to Hole in the wall! God, I thought there was a war!"

"Mrs. Hudson, I hear you." Holmes appeared at the foot of the stairs, looking at their aunt and nephew.

Mrs. Hudson turned her head and glanced at Holmes, her face showed no embarrassment of being caught behind her back: "Your breakfast is not ready yet, wait another 10 minutes."

Su Li admired Mrs. Hudson's determination. She glanced at Holmes with some embarrassment and said, "Did you sleep well last night?" This was a polite question, but obviously, it was a bit too intimate.

Holmes pursed his lips and nodded, "That's right."

Ok, stuck on topic...

Su Li smiled dryly and changed the subject: "Is that sapphire back?"

"Obviously—" Holmes looked at Su Li intently, which made the latter a little suffocated...

"It has become one of my collections now." Holmes said this with confidence, and it was a good choice to put the root of this crime in him.Since the discovery of this unique sapphire, it has caused many robberies and many deaths.Like most brilliant gemstones, it brought countless bad luck when it was born.

Su Li didn't suffocate anymore when she heard this. So, Sapphire is at 221B Baker Street, knowing that she is so close to Gemstone but can't move, her heart is a little burning!

My heart is burning, my heart is burning, I can't stop it...

"I hope I have the honor to appreciate the brilliance of gemstones again." Su Li looked at Holmes with bright eyes.

Holmes pursed his lips and smiled, saying vaguely, "There will be this opportunity." As for when this opportunity will come, let's talk about it...

Su Li heard the subtext in Holmes' words, curled her lips a little unhappy, and didn't say much.There is no chance for her to make a fortune in this world, which makes her a little regretful.It would be great if the next world could go to a place where the rule of law is not so sound and there are more treasure maps!
