It was another cloudy, cloudy and rainy day, which is very common in London.Pedestrians on the road held various umbrellas and looked hurried. After all, few people would want to stay outside for a long time on a rainy day.The raindrops hit the eaves and flowed down the tiles, forming small water columns.

"boring." Sherlock stood in front of the large window of the living room on the second floor of 221 Baker Street, looked down at the street, and said boredly.

The days are so peaceful, how long has he not dealt with a case.Three days... five days... a week?

"Do British criminals only rest?" He snorted.

An oriental woman holding a baby walked into the opposite coffee shop. These days Sherlock often saw that woman appearing in the coffee shop with a baby in her arms.Although he has never faced that woman directly, he is sure that he is the one who knows the most about this woman on this street. He doesn't even know the shopkeeper who sold the cafe to her because of her husband's gambling debts. many.

Normally he wouldn't pay too much attention to a woman walking down the street, even though she was indeed very beautiful by normal standards.

What he noticed was the many contradictions in the woman.

Obviously a virgin, but with a child, and dotes on that child extremely.From the baby's body, it can be seen that they have stayed in hotels recently. The baby should have lived in the UK all the time, as can be seen from his skin color, and the baby has always been well taken care of.The woman's standard of holding the child's posture is a little stiff. Obviously, she hasn't spent a particularly long time with this child, and she has absolutely never been in contact with other children before.The lady's clothes are all styles that have only appeared in the past few months, which means that the clothes she wears are all bought recently, and her matching style means that she is new to the city.The materials used to make the clothes were expensive, and it was obvious that she was very rich.And her dress is very neat and tidy every time, which shows that she has good living habits.

But apart from her clothes, he couldn't get any information from her.The woman's expression and posture, her walking posture, and her naked skin did not reveal any details that could be investigated, and they were all question marks.

It's like being programmed into a program.

interesting.Sherlock thought, wanting to grab a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table next to him.

Mycroft came to his apartment after finding out he was smoking morphine, and swept away his inventory. Although he had a lot of channels, McCoff warned him if he didn't want to spend a long time in prison. If so, it's best to stop this stupid behavior.

Now Sherlock can only rely on smoking to keep excited, but today is obviously not a good day, the cigarette box is empty, only a little bit of tobacco aroma proves the existence of cigarettes in it, and at the same time reminds the owner that he is smoking too fiercely fact.

"*!" Sherlock cursed in a low voice.The only fun is gone.

Nothing to do, maybe I should go get a cup of coffee.Sherlock thought again, quickly took the windbreaker on the sofa, put it on, straightened the collar, and walked downstairs.

At this time, Anna, who was discussing the details of the transfer of the cafe with Linda, was still ignorant of what had just happened on the second floor across the street. After making up her mind to adopt Harry a few days ago, she planned to buy a place to settle down. I just saw the transfer information of this cafe on Baker Street on the Internet. The cafe on the first floor can give her more opportunities to contact humans, and the second floor is a living area where she and Harry can live and decorate. It's warm, the security of the location is good, and the store owner is eager to sell. It's perfect for her who urgently needs to find a place to settle down.

"So let's finalize it like this, okay?" Anna was obviously in a good mood, pointing to the contract on the table.

"Oh, of course." Linda signed the contract: "You really helped me a lot, my dear. I was in a hurry to sell and I was worried that there would be buyers who would lower the price. Fortunately, I met you. "

"You don't need to say that, Linda." Anna looked at the sleeping Harry with tenderness in her eyes: "I happen to be in a hurry to settle down, your house meets all my requirements, and your bid is very reasonable, we are each other Get what you need."

While speaking, she raised her head and asked Linda: "But...I mean...I don't mean to offend, what do you want to do next? Help your husband pay off his gambling debts? Then what? As far as I'm concerned...I mean...you can sell the shop to your husband now, but what do you do after that?"

Although we hadn't met many times, Linda's gentle and kind nature really made Anna, who was new to human beings, very fond of her, so she asked more questions.

"I'm going to help my husband pay off his gambling debts and then take him back to the country. London is too busy and expensive, and we can start all over again when we get back to the country. I love him, really love him. Linda touched the coffee cup with her fingers, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, with a radiance on her face that Anna had never seen before: "Maybe you know the reason why I sell the store, and you will misunderstand my husband, but he He is really a good man. He just made a mistake for a while, and he also promised me that when we go back, he will live a good life with me..."

"I don't think so, Miss Linda." A clear and harsh male voice interrupted Linda's words.

Anna raised her head and saw a tall figure walking towards them.

The man was tall, with curly brown hair, and very handsome.But there was a mysterious and cold light in the blue glasses, which made people feel trembling in their hearts and dropped a lot of points for him.

A man who is not easy to get along with.Anna secretly made such an evaluation of this man with the ID of Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock walked to their table and stood still, continuing what he just said: "If I were you, Miss Linda, I would still advise you to sever ties with your husband as soon as possible. Indeed, there are many gamblers in the world who can finally get rid of gambling Such vices, but trust me, your husband is definitely not one of them."

"How can you say such unreasonable things, Mr. Holmes!" Linda stood up suddenly, obviously irritated by Sherlock's words just now: "You have no right to say that about my husband!"

Harry rolled over uncomfortably in Anna's arms.

"Oh, sorry." Linda covered her mouth and apologized to Anna.

Anna coaxed Harry softly, and waved her hands understandingly.

Facing the disbelieving Linda, Sherlock spread his hands and continued his speech, but his tone was much lower than before: "Your dark circles are very heavy, obviously you haven't slept well these days, your face Although the makeup and clothes on the body have been taken care of, they are obviously in a hurry. It is not difficult to guess that they were dressed in a hurry in order not to be rude to meet the lady opposite. You live upstairs, why are you in such a hurry? Obviously , your worries are so heavy that you can’t concentrate on your big clients. Why? Of course it’s because of your husband. Your husband hasn’t come back for a few days, which makes you panic. And Your hand is holding the phone tightly, which means that he has been contacting you by phone these days. And you have not done anything big other than selling the house, which means that your husband is still quite safe on the phone. A husband who can move freely enough to make a phone call, except to urge his wife to sell the store, never shows up to see his wife, but makes some pale promises, he can change, maybe only you will believe it Yes, Miss Linda."

"He's just afraid that his presence will drag me down!" Linda retorted.

Glancing at the transfer contract on the table, Sherlock sarcastically said, "Yeah, dragging on."

"Well, I think, I can take my leave first." Looking at the embarrassing scene, Anna felt that it was not suitable for her to stay here any longer. She put the contract into her bag and said to Linda: "Harry probably I'm about to wake up, I have to go back and get ready, I've already transferred the money to your card, you should clean it up in a few days, and we'll finish the handover in a few days."

"Okay, dear." Linda wiped her face, and said with a little cry in her voice: "Sorry for letting you see this kind of scene, I will send you a message after I take care of it, and you can move here .Sorry, I went up first."

After speaking, he covered his mouth and ran to the second floor.

Anna sighed, and was about to go out to find a place where no one was around, but Sherlock who was next to her suddenly said to her: "I just arrived in England not long ago, I don't know the place well, and I have a child with me, so I dare to be an adult." Amount trading, buying and selling, what a brave lady, Miss Anna."

Anna turned her head and smiled at Sherlock: "I have always been very courageous, Mr. Holmes."

After speaking, he hugged Harry and walked out of the cafe.
