Comprehensive Victoria's Secret

Elizabeth read Dungall's handwriting and saw that she hadn't finished it in the middle of the night, so she had to pack up the documents first. However, a problem arose. She was too violent when she picked the lock, and now the lock can't even be locked.

No way, Elizabeth could only put these things back, and then asked old Joseph to get her some more locks and keys. Elizabeth could only stuff the keys in her clothes and carry them with her.

When it is not the social season, the air in London is the dirtiest time of the year (this is why most people return to country houses at this time), Elizabeth sleeps very restlessly, she does not want to approach the window sill, and can only Lie on the bed and place the Hidden Blade under the pillow.

"Annie, wake me up early tomorrow morning, you go to bed first." Elizabeth couldn't fall asleep no matter what, Anne still wanted to keep watch for her, and Elizabeth was very upset.

There were no electric lights in London in this era, and the light from gas lamps was really not very good—especially in the bedroom, Elizabeth didn't want to read, and she had no interest in needlework.

Finally, she counted the sheep and the stars, and the stars and dumplings, and finally fell asleep.

Within a few days, Elizabeth got the news from Ron that he had helped her make an appointment with that junior, and they would meet in Hyde Park on Sunday.

In the past few days, Elizabeth has collected various evidences of Dungall, as well as the books he read the day before his disappearance, as well as his social cards, and even asked about Dungall's itinerary from Joseph. surface.

On this day, Sunday, Elizabeth took no maid, but a small suitcase containing all the papers she had collected.

Elizabeth didn't dress up like a noble lady - but she didn't dare to deviate from the norm, otherwise Ron would definitely put everything down and talk about her first.

So she dressed like a middle-class woman when she went out, with her hair completely down, and the Hidden Blade was hidden under the leg of lamb sleeve.

Contrary to her expectations, Ron was not dressed in a luxurious way either. He was wearing a Sturtfield coat, an authentic middle-class dress. He first helped Elizabeth lift the suitcase into the carriage, then helped her up, and sat opposite.

There was only one person driving for them, and Elizabeth asked, "Is your junior reliable?"

"Don't worry, he is a very reliable person, and his reasoning ability is also excellent." Ron comforted her a few words, and then asked: "Elizabeth, what are you doing these days?"

"Collect evidence, and look at the letters left by my father." Elizabeth lowered her voice: "I suspect that my father's disappearance may really be related to the Templars. Do you want to tell your junior?"

"If necessary." Already in Hyde Park, Ron helped her carry the suitcase and helped her out of the car.This was the common treatment that Victorian women could expect from gentlemen.

Hyde Park was once the deer hunting ground of King Henry VIII, and to the west of the park is Kensington Gardens attached to Kensington Palace.There is a special trail for horseback riding in the park called "Rotown Trail".In the early morning hours of the social season, the promenade will be crowded with many aristocrats who come here for a walk on horses decorated with ornate accessories.Covering an area of ​​160 million square meters, Hyde Park is the largest of the Royal Parks in London and the most famous park in London. Before the 18th century, it was the king's deer hunting farm, and it was later converted into a park.There is the famous "Freedom Forum" in Hyde Park, also known as "Speech Corner", which is a place where people can speak publicly, where impromptu speeches are often made, and almost annual large-scale open-air summer concerts are also held here.

Elizabeth let Ron take his lead and followed him until they came upon a young man.

The young man looked to be about two years older than Elizabeth. He was wearing a double-breasted coat, very ordinary middle-class Victorian dress, and his appearance and appearance were enough to attract attention at first glance.He is about 1.8 meters tall, has a pair of gray eyes, and his body is extremely thin, so he looks extraordinarily slender; his slender aquiline nose makes his appearance look particularly alert and decisive; his jaw is square and prominent, which shows that he is a very powerful man People of Perseverance.

"Mr. Holmes? Permit me to introduce my cousin, Elizabeth Morgan."

Mr. Holmes... Elizabeth almost fell to the ground. When Ron tried to support her, Elizabeth tried to explain: "Sorry, my corset is a little too tight."

"Elizabeth, please allow me to introduce, this is my alumnus, Sherlock Holmes."

Elizabeth felt that she really needed to faint now, but she remained calm and stretched out her hand: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Holmes."

"Good day, Miss Morgan." Holmes shook Elizabeth's hand back.

"Mr. Holmes, my cousin hopes that you can show your reasoning talents, and she hopes that you can prove that you are a reliable person." Ron spoke instead of Elizabeth.

"Your father probably belonged to a secret society."

Elizabeth froze: "Please tell me your reasoning process." The feeling of being seen through in person is really unpleasant!

"You look very tired, but you don't appear anxious—and you have no sense of distrust for an unknown college student like me. You already have a certain guess in your heart. The easiest way to find the missing person The way is to publish a missing person notice in the newspaper, but you disguise yourself as a middle-class girl and come to Hyde Park to ask for help from a college student. Of course, you may also express that you do not want to find him. However, the death of the Earl is his huge property. The first heir, but you did not announce the death of the earl. It can be seen that you are not worried about your father, but for some reason, your father needs to be found secretly, and you are very careful to look around when walking, which proves that You are worried that you will be watched. If your father is kidnapped, then you must be trying to raise money, but the jewelry on your body is extremely exquisite and luxurious, and it is all newly custom-made, which means that it is not an issue of money. So, what kind of situation can make a noble lady afraid of being watched when she needs to keep it secret? Since Earl Morgan does not hold an important position in the parliament, my guess is that this matter should be related to the Earl himself, Elizabeth ·When Miss Morgan was baptized, her godmother was Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria, but her godfather was just an ordinary bourgeois. Later, in the Buckingham Palace incident five years ago, your godfather Crawford Starry was a secret The leader of the society, and your father, I'm afraid he also belongs to that secret society."

Elizabeth didn't expect that these details that she didn't even notice would be noticed by Holmes, and she was completely Spartan.

Elizabeth nodded: "It's not safe here, Mr. Holmes, may I have the honor to invite you to my house for a talk?"

"Come to my house," said Ron. "You're a single girl."

In the reception room of Albert's mansion in London, Elizabeth handed Holmes all the evidence she had obtained.

"Is the earl's trip on that day in his social schedule?"

"No, I asked the housekeeper Joseph, and he told me that father's trip that day was not in his schedule at all. He said he was going to meet a friend, so he left alone." Elizabeth tried hard to recall the details.

"Then when did Monsieur Earl leave?"

"Before afternoon tea." Elizabeth got some news from Joseph: "Because of this reason, the old housekeeper thought he was an invitation to a tea party temporarily."

"What was the earl's original itinerary?"

"Generally speaking, he will enjoy afternoon tea in his room at this time."

"Are there any exceptions?"

"Because I went to France some time ago, I don't know, but according to Joseph, my father still continues his habits without any changes."

"What kind of person is the housekeeper Joseph?" Holmes was a maniac of questions, and Elizabeth was almost asked the whole question by him.

"Joseph Dylan, the housekeeper of our family, worked in our house when I was very young," Elizabeth tried to recall: "He was a very good housekeeper, about ten years older than my father, and he was a Welsh man, with a very strong accent, who speaks a little French, and whose son, George Dylan, is now my father's valet."

"What was George Dylan like?"

For the first time, Elizabeth found it so troublesome to deal with Sherlock Holmes's question: "George Dylan is a relatively outstanding young man," she tried to recall, but even if her memory exploded, it was impossible to remember every servant in her family. At most, she only knew the housekeeper and housekeeper in her own family, the governess when she was a child, the nannies and wet nurses, and her own and Estelle's personal maids. Difficulties: "He is probably ten years older than me, and he works very hard. My father is also kind to him for Joseph's sake."

Holmes rested his chin in thought. Elizabeth's suitcase had been opened and placed on the table.

Elizabeth couldn't help it: "Do you have any judgment?"

"I hope to visit your house in a few days' time," said Holmes. "It is impossible to draw inferences without any evidence, and that would only lead you astray. The things you have given me , is not enough."

"Thank you." Elizabeth stood up and said goodbye. After returning to her family's mansion, Elizabeth went into Dungall's study and continued to read his handwriting.

The author has something to say: writing Sherlock Holmes is too brain-intensive...the author is about to collapse...everyone will take it easy...I will read the original QAQ again...
