[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter No.16

Obviously, Sherlock's clever head was resting today, so Jenny had no choice but to let Sherlock call a public carriage, and then the two got into the carriage together.

Jenny told Sherlock the address, and Sherlock stretched out and told the coachman, then sat back.

Jenny put the box beside her, sighed to Sherlock who was opposite, and said, "Mr. Holmes, I thought it was impossible...how could you suddenly..."

"Boring, just boring, Mrs. Hudson, I originally planned to invite you to the living room to chat, but you seemed to be going out, so I just went for a walk together." Sherlock quickly interrupted Jenny's question.

Jenny was no longer going to ask him how he knew when he was going downstairs, or how he knew he was going to the clothing store.The guy obviously wanted to have fun, and in John's absence she had apparently been chosen by him to be his escort.

Damn it! I don't want this guy to observe my private affairs at all.

Jenny, who didn't sleep well last night because of Sherlock's fever, and worked hard all morning this morning, felt very bad.

But Sherlock didn't see it at all, and he thought going out with Jenny was a novel experience.

Jenny, who didn't sleep well last night because of Sherlock's fever, and worked hard all morning this morning, felt very bad.

But Sherlock didn't see it at all, and he thought going out with Jenny was a novel experience.

The two were silent all the way, only Sherlock's non-stop coughing all the way, which made Jenny want to ask him to go back to rest several times, which was really awkward.

When we arrived at the clothing store, there would be no customers. Jenny and Tom went upstairs to discuss clothes, while Sherlock studied the fabrics on the first floor with interest.

After several years of operation, Tom moved the store to Bloor Street, which is more suitable for his development into a high-end women's clothing store.The customers who come to the store are not only ladies, but also men who buy skirts for their wives/daughters/lover.Because of this, the way Sherlock looked at the fabric carefully on the first floor didn't look particularly strange.

After talking about the business, Tom felt that it was time to talk about some light topics, such as the young man downstairs...

"Okay, the business is over, let's talk about something else... Tell me about that man? He doesn't seem to be easy to get along with... How did you meet?" Tom rubbed his hands, the gossip in his heart The fire is burning fiercely, and in his mind Jenny is the "everything lady", and he can't imagine her in a relationship at all.

"What? Oh Tom..." Jenny froze for a moment, but quickly realized what Tom was talking about. "He's just my tenant and I'm his landlord, that's all."

"You guys already live together!" Tom only heard what he wanted to hear.

Jenny rolled her eyes upward with an unladylike look.

"Tom." Jenny said very sincerely, "There is one thing I've always wanted to tell you, but I've been afraid of breaking your heart."

"What?" Tom blinked blankly.

"You really look more and more like those gossiping women!" Jenny pretended to shake her head helplessly.

Now Tom knew he had been tricked by Jenny, and he glared at Jenny angrily.

With blond hair and blue eyes and curly hair, Tom was said to be handsome and cute since he was a child.But since he started making high-end women's clothing and often dealt with many women, he was horrified to find that he had unintentionally developed some small movements like those women... If he lived for a few hundred years, he would know that later generations called It is: "mother".

Jenny's words hit Tom's point, but he had absolutely nothing to do with her. "Well, it seems that you don't like this topic." Tom stroked the beautiful mustache that was specially grown for manliness.But he still couldn't help asking Jenny: "Is it okay to ask his name?"

Jenny: Why do men always like to go all the way in the direction of death?

"You can ask him yourself." Jenny felt that since Tom was curious, she might as well ask him herself.

"Oh, well. Why don't you ask him what he does?" Tom didn't give up.Instead, Jenny felt that she could tell him: "He's a detective."

"Ah~" Tom said clearly.

Before the two went downstairs, Jenny went to say hello to the hostess Ellie, that is, the round-faced girl back then, and now they are good friends.

The little "bad boy" who got candy on his skirt had grown into a big "bad boy", but now Tom was able to throw the "bad boy" into a good private boarding school.Now the two couples are taking their youngest daughter with them.Jenny likes this little girl who is only two and a half years old.

Standing on the stairs, Jenny and Tom saw Sherlock rubbing the fabric samples thoughtfully by the counter.Not far from him, two female guests pretended to be looking at the styles, but in fact they peeked at Sherlock from time to time while whispering.

Jenny could almost see their colorful minds.

"Although the demeanor is a bit severe, he is still handsome. You should seize the opportunity." Tom quickly whispered in Jenny's ear.

Jenny kept a blank expression and glanced sideways at Tom, "Don't you want to know him? Let's go."

For some reason, Tom suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Have you been waiting for a long time, Mr. Holmes?" Jenny stepped forward to "wake up" Sherlock.

"No, actually, ahem, I found something interesting in these fabrics." Sherlock turned around.Jenny was sure she didn't want to know what "funny stuff" he was talking about, but Sherlock didn't realize it. "If Scotland Yard notices this, ahem, then the Welsh case, ahem, they'll catch them all, and here are two fabrics that are new, ahem, and imported from the tropics Yes, isn't it?" The last sentence was to Tom.

"Yes, you are really an expert." Tom stretched out his hand enthusiastically (gossiping), "Tom Clayton, Mrs. Hudson's partner."

"Sherlock Holmes is currently Mrs. Hudson's tenant." Sherlock extended his hand politely and shook Tom's.

Jenny and Tom glanced at each other provocatively at the same time.

Jenny: I said it was just a tenant.

Tom: Just for now...

Sherlock: Please don't flirt with me, please?

Sherlock looked at Tom, and suddenly made several incomprehensible expressions: he twitched his eyebrows twice, twisted the corners of his mouth, and blinked his eyes again, and finally seemed to be sure of something.

"Uh... Is there something wrong with me?" Tom asked strangely.

"Oh, no, nothing wrong." Sherlock obviously did it on purpose.

Is it because of illness that you have exposed a hidden part of your personality?The usual Sherlock Holmes is not like this... er...

Thinking about it this way, Jenny is really looking forward to Sherlock's expression when he thinks about doing these stupid things after he recovers~

"No, please tell me." People's curiosity (gossip) is sometimes so strange.

"Actually..." Sherlock coughed hard, "Except that you were an apprentice, you inherited the shop because you married the owner's daughter, and you got to know Mrs. I can't see anything about moving the shop here, and there is absolutely nothing you need to care about. Besides, you have already sent your naughty son to boarding school, and your daughter is still young, so she will definitely not make trouble for you. But Your wife has been worried about something about you lately...well, hehe, ladies always worry too much." Sherlock's cough seemed to heal when he said such a long paragraph.

Tom turned his head to Jenny dumbfounded: "You must have told him, right?"

"Of course it's impossible." Jenny dissatisfied, "Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, I don't know that Ellie is worried about you. Oh, we have to go, I'm going back." After finishing speaking, Jenny immediately Heading for the door—she did it on purpose, how?

Sherlock followed suit very cooperatively.

"Wait, wait, at least tell me how you know..." Tom thinks that Jenny is really bad, and that Sherlock Holmes is not a good guy, the two are really a perfect match... Wait, is this a curse? ?

Jenny and Sherlock sat in the carriage for the return journey, and the two remained silent, but Sherlock seemed to be in much better spirits.

Jenny: Damn boy, he's happy when others don't.

Finally, Jenny couldn't help but speak first: "How did you find out?"

Sherlock, who had been resting with his eyes closed all this time, opened his eyes, "What?"

Jenny: "It's Tom."

Sherlock: "Oh, it's very simple. With your character, since you are a collaborator, you must have known each other for several years. I think this number must be three years ago, and that gentleman is definitely not an apprentice. I met you, so he was the owner of the store a few years ago. The fastest way to get a store at such a young age is to marry the daughter of the original owner and inherit it.”

"I can tell from the decoration of the store, they moved there at most a year ago, and I found some pocket knife marks on the counter, it must be a little boy who would do this, a naughty boy, But I didn't hear his voice at all, judging from his father's expression, it is impossible to be locked up for causing trouble, so the biggest possibility is that he was sent to school."

"Maybe he didn't notice it himself, but on his calf was a little rice-pink string that was used by little girls. Judging by the height, the girl was probably only one or two years old, most likely two years old .”

"And... there are a few things on his body that don't quite match his attire, such as a knife with a silver handle exposed, or a button that imitates a sailor. As a tailor who follows fashion closely, he can't make it on his body. These things don't match the clothes, so it's only possible that his wife asked for it. With his inadvertent little movements... I have reason to believe that your friend probably stayed in the crowd of women for too long, so that he His wife had some unnecessary worries, after all, they just had a daughter two years ago."

"It's really simple, isn't it?" Sherlock pretended to be bored, but in Jenny's eyes, he was completely "these things are in front of you, and you stupid mortals can't even see it." and "How amazing I am, come and praise me."

Jenny silently lit a candle for Tom in her heart.

"Excellent." Jenny didn't intend to indulge Sherlock, "You didn't cough at all just now."

Sherlock froze, and immediately broke out into a violent cough.While he took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth, he was about to die of anger from his landlady: she obviously showed a look of praise and comprehension, but she turned the topic to another way... She did it on purpose of! ! !

Jenny: Yes, I did it on purpose, to bite me.

But Sherlock's long and severe cough still made Jenny start to worry. Regardless of Sherlock's objection, she ordered the coachman to drive the car directly to the clinic where John worked.

John was also very angry with Sherlock, a disobedient patient. He clearly asked Sherlock to rest at home and had to stay in bed, but not only did he not lie in bed, but he even ran out. He even had a high fever last night Woolen cloth.

Although Sherlock strongly protested, saying that his illness "has been completely cured, but he still has a little cough." But he was jointly suppressed by John and Jenny.

In order to make up for taking Sherlock out of the house because of her soft heart, Jenny insisted that John prescribe some medicine for Sherlock, and said that she would supervise Sherlock to take a dose as soon as she got home, and promised to let him lie in bed all the time. bed.In fact, she did exactly that afterwards, too.
