Before Browns' visit, Holmes first learned of Browns' return to high society from Cecily's letter.

In fact, he knew about it earlier, but he met too many people in the case, and he rarely contacted the people he met in a certain case, so even though he knew, he didn't pay much attention—until Xixi After Li started school, she mentioned in her letter that Mr. Browns communicated frequently with his brother. Sometimes Leslie would ask her to receive Mr. Browns together, and his keen brain immediately noticed something was wrong.

He didn't know if it was Sylvester who was probing, or he was too sensitive, he didn't know how to answer her topic for the first time, he just wrote a hasty sentence and didn't mention it after looking forward to meeting our mutual friend again.

Cecily didn't seem to care too much about this topic, and she didn't mention it afterwards. Holmes guessed that since she returned to work in the hospital, she naturally stopped contacting Browns, and was almost relieved.

He himself couldn't even grasp where the tension came from, and it disappeared.

Maybe it still exists.

However, he began to feel rejoiced. Cecily was busy with work, even when he invited him to investigate the case during the occasional vacation, he shirked that he was too busy and just wanted to rest, probably because he had no time to socialize with other friends.

However, in some inexplicable state of mind, he still chose a Wednesday to go to St. Barome's Hospital. He remembered that Sylvester once mentioned that if he said that he had a little leisure, it would only be Wednesday and Sunday. Four.

He meets Browns.

"Mr. Holmes?" Browns spotted Holmes first and came to greet him. "Long time no see!"

Holmes was a little surprised, but still reached out his hand and shook hands with Mr. Browns: "Long time no see, I heard from Sylvester that you have been back to London for a long time, and you have not had a chance to meet."

"Actually, I'm thinking about sending a greeting card to Baker Street today, and I'm planning to see you in a few days," Browns said with a calm face, "I don't know if you...?"

Browns was very polite in his words.

"There's no need to be so polite," Holmes nodded. "I haven't visited Sylvester for a few days. I just happen to have some work in hand and want to ask him. It's not convenient to explain in the letter, so I just came here directly."

He didn't ask Browns why he came, but Browns told him anyway.

"Leslie was not at ease about Sylvester's condition, so he asked me to come and have a look."

Both of them were calm and their eyes met very calmly.

The inpatient area cannot allow idlers to wander around, and they can only go to Sylvester after registering at the nurse's station.

At the nurse's station was a young girl with bright eyes and kind eyes. Her eyes rolled around the two gentlemen, and her voice became sweeter than before.

"A person who seems to be popular, his friends are also very popular," the nurse girl smiled and showed her white teeth, "The doctor just performed an operation, and he should be making ward rounds now, you can wait at the door of his office Wait for him."

Browns thanked the nurse warmly, signed his name, and handed the sign-in booklet to Holmes.

Holmes raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Cecily was rushing through the nurses' station where they were and was about to go back to the office. She had worked for twelve hours straight on the last operation, and she was about to explode. Friends are looking at her.

"Sylvester!"

It was Browns who stopped her.

Cecily turned her head and saw Holmes whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

She was a little confused: "Why are you here together?"

Her eyes first met Holmes's, and then turned to Browns... Before Browns saw through her identity, she was very relaxed with him, but after seeing through, she felt a little uncomfortable and almost saw Browns. I just want to lift the skirt.

Browns said, "It looks like you're too busy to pay attention to me."

Cecily's eyes rested on him, but she avoided his eyes: "I'm a little busy, but I still have time to entertain my friends... Maybe you would like to come to my office?"

Then she cautiously raised her head and looked at Holmes: "Holmes, would you like to sit down?"

Holmes nodded faster than he knew it.

The nurse girl looked here and there curiously, and looked at the three of them carefully, always feeling that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Cecily was also a little reticent in such an atmosphere. In fact, Browns and Holmes were about the same height, both of whom exceeded 1.9 meters tall, and Cecily, who was in her early 1.7 meters, walked in front of them, as if she was behind them. Followed by two bodyguards - Cecily felt that she was quite tall.

After inviting them to sit down, Cecily said, "I'm really sorry, I only have black coffee and plain water here, I don't know about you...?"

"Plain water is fine." It was Holmes.

"Black coffee." It's Browns.

The coffee was brought over from Sylvester's house, and the quality was not bad. After brewing, Cecily brought out the coffee and water, and poured a glass of water herself.

"Did you run into each other on the road?"

Browns glanced at Holmes, seeing that Holmes had no intention of speaking, and he had some calculations in his heart, so he took the initiative: "I met in the hospital lobby, and Leslie was not at ease about your working environment, saying that every time you find me You are both in the operating room, I remembered this and just came to visit you."

Cecily smiled, but didn't answer anything.

"Just finished the operation?" Browns asked casually.

"Obviously, Sylvester stayed in the operating room for at least ten hours, didn't he sleep well last night?" He raised his eyes and came to a conclusion after seeing Sylvester's expression, "No more than five hours, maybe it's not your original job, it should be that the first aid suddenly lacked manpower, which made you have to hand over an operation this morning to another doctor, your current white coat is very clean--I Think about it, maybe you have received a patient with heavy bleeding, and it seems that the situation is not bad now?"

Cecily was taken aback by this very Sherlock Holmes reasoning. Did she miss something?It seems that he didn't talk like this when he was with himself before?

"You are all right, Holmes. Your talents are even greater than before."

Can't afford to provoke, Cecily was stunned for half a second.

Holmes didn't respond, but his lips curled up quickly, so fast that it was suspected to be a hallucination.

"I have to say, back then you described your own ability as a trivial interest, and I think you will soon be famous in London," Cecily sighed immediately, and then took a sip of hot water, "I I'm so happy for you."

Holmes hooked the corners of his lips, but said nothing.

Browns had an idea in mind, so he didn't intend to stay here: "Leslie wants me to tell you, remember to go home when you're done with your work. Since the words have been brought, I have some work to do when I go back, so I'll leave first."

He stood up and straightened his windbreaker.

Cecily quickly put down the water glass and stood up: "Then I..."

"Mr. Holmes is still here. He seems to have something to talk to you about at work." Browns looked at Holmes, turned around and went to the door to get his hat and put it on. "Then see you next time."

He reached out and gently took Cecily's hand, bringing it to his lips.

After it was over, he quickly let go: "Sorry, I'm used to it."

Cecily was stunned for half a second, watching the person leave.

Holmes, on the other hand, said nothing during the whole process.

Cecily closed the door after watching the people leave, and then turned to Holmes and said, "Speaking of which, I thought you went to Manchester recently? It seems that the development there has been very fast recently."

Holmes leaned against the sofa, not as if he had maintained his sitting posture when Browns was there just now: "Actually, I only stayed in Manchester for two days and came back. It's not very complicated. It's just that waiting for the opportunity takes time." It's just some time."

Cecily asked with great interest: "How do you know?"

Holmes closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Holmes?" Cecily sat back in her seat, "My God, you're not going to try to trick me, are you?"

He lazily opened his eyes and looked at her: "Tell me? It's just that every time I reasoned for you, I just followed the logic. In your eyes, they are just simple conclusions that are within reach. I think you should first It's more interesting to see the conclusion and think for yourself, isn't it?"

Cecily: "...you can spare my brain, it's lighter than the one on your neck."

Hearing this, Holmes laughed in a low voice, "It's just that after I finish speaking, you'll probably say that it's just a simple trick."

"I promise never." Cecily smiled and rolled her eyes.

She always praised him sincerely, even if the simplest logic was presented to her, as long as it was done by him, she would never despise him.

She had indulged his habit of telling all those trivial reasonings—perhaps in a showmanship that he hadn't even noticed himself.This made him suffer in front of the Scotland Yard gang, but he soon learned how to blow the brains of those pigs with the conclusion first.

"The nurse told me that you just got off the operating table - there are sweat stains on your collar, it is winter, and you usually pay attention to hygiene, which means that you have just undergone a stressful operation, your eyes are black and blue, Lack of sleep recently. If you still have a job, you will definitely choose to drink black coffee next, but what you drink is water, which means that you should take a rest. It is only possible that there are special circumstances and you have a vacation with another doctor. Let you relax. As for the hemorrhage...? Blind, but let me be fooled, you have some bloody smell on your body, although the hospital smell is very strong and somewhat covered, but I asked, I just said that you have The shirt is dirty, but the white coat is clean, I guess it may be stained with blood, you changed it."

Cecily nodded frequently: "You can always find these small details - not only did you see them, but you also connected them together. I don't think I need to spend any more time praising your reasoning ability."

Holmes raised his eyebrows, but he looked very happy.

It was only then that Cecily remembered that they hadn't met formally for more than a year, but just met again, and the two were still very familiar.

She suppressed the inexplicable confusion in her heart: "Then, why did you suddenly think of looking for me today?"

The author has something to say: Huh?Didn't I just make a point yesterday? In fact, this article is really not cruel, believe me.

I was exhausted after cleaning all afternoon yesterday, so I got up late today.sorry Sorry.
