Baker Street Charterers

When she was invited to enter the prime minister's office, Nora still hadn't recovered from the wonderful emotion of "I'm about to meet one of the most dignified people in this country".

Robert Gascoigne-Cecil, the new Prime Minister, she knows this man - not "Nora Sharp" heard of him, but herself, a stranger from the 21st century , can be regarded as thunderous to this name.

The Marquess of Salisbury, a well-known British politician and leader of the Conservative Party, served as prime minister for three times, actively expanded British overseas colonies, launched the South African War, and he initiated and implemented the once famous "glorious isolation policy" in Europe .Although this man was born in a noble family, he has sympathy for low-level workers that politicians rarely see.Beyond that, he was a true scholar who enjoyed dawdling in the lab and was respected by society for his academic achievements at a very young age.He does not believe in any theory other than the Christian creed.He hates demagogues and distrusts experts.Respect for character, dislike superficiality, pompousness, extra worship... This person is different from other nobles in many ways, making him very unique.

The reason why Nora knows these things that the British people don’t know much about in 1886 is because they once found a thick tome of British history in order to receive a British envoy group, and read it in a daze. , and this person made a very deep impression on her.

Although she has "come" to the UK for more than five years, she never imagined that she would one day meet one of the country's top leaders.After all, she always thought that if she could meet Sherlock Holmes in her lifetime, she would have used up all her luck in the past and present.

What is a male god?It's not the so-called [-] long legs, strong waist and legs with abdominal muscles - of course this is indeed the ideal type that all women dream of.But for her, a real male god needs to have a mind like mountains and rivers, be proficient in a wide range of subjects, have respect for those who are not as good as herself, be always humble and friendly, have no complaints about life, and only be optimistic and motivated .

...Speaking of this, I suddenly felt that only Watson was close to this standard among the people around me.

Nora shivered, and immediately forced herself to withdraw these messy thoughts.After straightening his face, he asked Holmes nervously, "Xiali... tell me that my clothes make me look very elegant, right?"

Holmes, who was formally dressed, stepped over the threshold. When he heard this, he paused, turned his head and looked at her a few times, and then said very seriously, "You can't impose on yourself something that never existed."

Nora chuckled, and the tension caused by seeing someone similar to an idol disappeared by this commotion.She adjusted the brim of her black hat, turned her head slightly, and smiled at Holmes, "You are very handsome today, Sherlock."

There was no extra emotion on Holmes' face, but the atmosphere around him suddenly became light and cheerful.To be honest, he doesn't care about his appearance, and he never thinks that a face will affect his observation and judgment.But since getting to know this person, he can't help but pay attention to his own appearance. There is no other reason - this woman, who was seven years younger than him, is no longer the green and shriveled childish appearance five years ago , She is like a bud in full bloom, visibly becoming smooth and beautiful inch by inch.Burgundy curly and shiny long hair, a fair face, bright emerald green eyes like malachite, and a slender and graceful figure than women of the same age... This English rose not only exudes a charming color and fragrance, but also has a stinging thorn Poison, but more unique charm.

Many times he would think, maybe it was her good looks that made him lose his mind involuntarily when he stared at her.And what was able to do this before, except for a good book, is an interesting experiment. He never thought that a person could make him stare at him intently. As long as he saw this person, joy and smile would appear ahead of reason .

He looked at Nora's current appearance—a black lace hat covered half of her face, revealing a clear chin. She had applied bright red lipstick for the first time. The contrast was very obvious, and her lips looked plump and flowery.The black embroidered long gown with dark patterns and white silk gloves are specially customized for meeting important people, elegant and intellectual, with unique fragrance.

Holmes withdrew his gaze and received an interested gaze from a man next to her. He looked back calmly and showed a meaningful smile.

The other party immediately turned his head resentfully.

Today was not a banquet, and it was thanks to Mycroft that they were able to meet this distinguished person.As an unspeakable and important official of the government, my elder brother obviously has the right to speak. The specific manifestation is that when they learned about the assassination from Barton and asked to talk to the person the next day, they received a response from Downing Street. personal invitation.

It was not the Prime Minister himself who was attacked, but his wife.The reason is that his wife invited a friend in the circle to order a dress for this season at a boutique tailor shop that he often goes to. A "medium-sized man wearing a large blue overalls and a hat that can't see his face clearly" (the wife's original words) Suddenly, he rushed out from the backyard, moving very quickly, and holding a sharp knife in his hand!If the boss hadn't reacted quickly and called the buddy to stop this person, I am afraid that Britain will not be peaceful in the next few months.

It's a pity that they didn't catch the assassin on the spot. He was very agile. After a failed blow, he immediately turned around and jumped off the low wall in the backyard. Someone tried to chase him, but behind the wall was a bustling street , Looking for a needle in a haystack, there is no way to start.

The Prime Minister's wife did not suffer any physical injuries, but was greatly frightened.And when Holmes and Nora saw the dignified, elegantly dressed and plump Prime Minister's wife, she was sitting on the sofa, combing her hair neatly in her bedroom, waiting for their arrival.

Holmes and Nora Qiqi bowed their heads to salute, and as soon as they looked up, they saw Mycroft Holmes standing upright by the door.

【What are you doing here? ! ] Holmes's slightly widened eyes clearly revealed this information, and at the same time, there was his dislike.

【Young man, don't forget who recommended you to come here! ] Mycroft answered in this way.

【Then you can go now】Holmes raised his eyebrows.

【Is this how you treat your elder brother who always thinks about you? ] Mycroft snorted softly.

[I don't think any word in your sentence is appropriate except for the blood relationship that I can't decide.] Holmes also snorted softly.

【Boy! 】

【Fat old man】

"Ahem..." Nora awkwardly interrupted the overly substantive eye contact between the two brothers, and said warningly, "Sherlock, haven't you always wanted to see the noble lady?"

Holmes came back to his senses and bowed. "Good afternoon, madam. I am Sherlock Holmes, a consulting detective."

Madam showed a friendly smile and said softly, "I know you...Mike and I mentioned it many times, saying that his brother is a genius...in many ways."

Mycroft snorted, "Ma'am, if I had a second chance, I would definitely use all the facts to overturn my youthful, frivolous and too arbitrary evaluation."

Madam covered her mouth and laughed happily. It could be seen that she was a very mild-tempered woman, and judging from her address to Mycroft, they should be old friends who had known each other for a long time. No wonder she wanted to See the Prime Minister, things will be settled so easily.

Madam turned her eyes to Nora, her eyes were filled with gentle scrutiny, "I know you, girl...Mike said quite well about you. I haven't heard him use 'smart people' in many years. Any woman in England."

"And the last one was you, ma'am," Mycroft interjected tactfully.

"My honor." Nora smiled decently, but she was thinking about something completely different in her mind—the wife of the prime minister did not seem to be "terrified" as the rumors said, she looked very An Ran, very calm.

Are they missing something? ——Nora asked Mycroft with her eyes.

The future brother shrugged at her.

"Look, Mycroft, your brother is getting very impatient." Madam Holmes joked. Although Holmes had no expression on his face at the moment, she waved to them and motioned them to sit down before she spoke gently. , "Are you here to ask about yesterday's events?"

Holmes nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Ma'am."

The Prime Minister's wife said, "What do you want to know, Sherlock Holmes?"

"Everything," he replied, "everything—all the process, including the details, the assassin's clothes, skin color, hair color, way of walking, smell... tell us everything you know if you can remember."

"You've stumped me, Holmes," laughed the lady. "You can't expect me to remember the face and smell of that man so clearly at such a dangerous time."

"Ordinary people may be like that." Holmes remained expressionless. "But you are not ordinary people, madam."

"Who said 'my brother is stubborn as hell, rarely compliments anyone, and takes every opportunity to proudly mock what he sees as a fool, even though 'fools' belong to everyone but the Holmes family'?" thought Mrs. Mycroft. said this sentence.He couldn't help laughing, "Look, Mike, obviously Sherlock Holmes will also flatter."

Mycroft leaned on his crutches and smiled slightly, "Believe me, ma'am, this is just a short-lived miracle."

Holmes was silent for a few seconds, "...if the so-called 'flattery' can make Madam recall all the details more clearly... maybe I can consider asking Mycroft about this special skill."

The elder brother coughed lowly, "Sherlock!" Full of threats and warnings.

The lady covered her mouth and smiled gracefully, "Since you are so sincere, of course...Sherlock Holmes, I will tell you everything I remember...all the details."

"Thank you, ma'am." At last Holmes smiled pleasantly.
