[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 23

Jenny and Fantine made dumplings with the rest of the meat, and put the dumplings in rows on the board, ready to put them in the pan before eating at night.

Fantine looked at the distinctive dumplings...the ones that are cute and full are all made by Jenny, and the ones that are crooked are all made by Fantine.Although the two of them didn't know how to make dumplings at first, and they experimented several times, Jenny quickly got used to it. She not only made the dumplings stand up, but also wrapped them in tricks, and even made some rabbit tables and dumplings. Radish (is this still a dumpling).

Looking back at the Fantine bag...==

"Uh... I think Cosette and I should eat these." Fantine pointed to the ones she made.

Thinking of a picky tenant, Jenny agrees.

After putting away the dumplings, Jenny took Fantine and Cosette to go shopping.It’s a rare holiday, Jenny is not a stingy master, and it’s just a good time to test Cosette’s sensitivity and interest in fashion—Jenny still thinks about Tom’s words, Cosette is indeed a good apprentice candidate .

Although today is not Christmas, the festive atmosphere on the streets is still not over.On the contrary, because yesterday was the official day, everyone was busy going to church, going to the dance, and having Christmas dinner, so there was no time to go shopping. There were many more people on the street today than yesterday.Many thoughtful businessmen have put up promotional signs, and the methods are no different from hundreds of years later, and the activities will continue until the new year.

Jenny took Fantine for a full five streets, and if it wasn't because Cosette couldn't walk anymore, she would have planned to continue shopping.Having hired a carriage, which was now packed to the brim, Jenny returned to Baker Street contentedly.

Sherlock and John came back after only going out for two hours. Both of them were a little surprised when they came back. Mrs. Hudson, the maid, and even Cosette were not there, which was very rare.The two stayed on the second floor after they came back, one was practicing the violin, and the other was sorting out the copywriting.It took almost an hour before Sherlock and John heard the sound of the carriage downstairs. If it wasn't for Jenny asking them about their dinner before they left, they almost thought they had to go out to eat.

During dinner, Jenny remembered today's case, so she asked, "Well, today...how was it?"

Sherlock was concentrating on cutting the dumplings on the plate in front of him. After carefully cutting each dumpling in half, he forked half of it, ordered it in the sauce dish, put it in his mouth, and then forked it again. For the other half, also order it in the sauce dish and put it in your mouth.

Hearing Jenny's question, Sherlock, who was cutting dumplings, spit out a word without a trace of stagnation: "Boring."

John next to him pursed his lips and raised his face with an expression of "ask me, ask me quickly".

Jenny: "Uh... Dr. Watson?"

John: "That guy is the eldest son of Congressman Leoly. He put a drug that can speed up the heartbeat in his father's usual medicine. It is similar to cocaine, but much weaker than that drug, so Leoly The senator never found out. It was a long process ... I think the drink that night made the drug work, he shouldn't have had so much."

Jenny: "But I don't think he's stupid enough to leave evidence?"

John: "Oh heh heh heh, we used a little trick. We asked Sheriff Lestrade to ask a lawyer to declare that in the will left by Mr. Leo Li, most of the estate was left to his youngest son... Holmes only induced a few words from the side, and the killer spoke out by himself... in front of everyone."

Jenny praised Sherlock in time: "Oh, Mr. Holmes, you are really amazing."

Sherlock nodded reservedly, "It's not my credit at all, it's just that the other party is too stupid."

Jenny changed the subject, "But why did Sergeant Lestrade care so much about this case? Anyone who reads the newspaper would think it was just an accident, but he came to find Mr. Holmes instead."

John froze, not to mention he hadn't thought of it yet.

At this time Sherlock spoke, "Lestrade's father, the former Chief of Police of the City of London, was friends with Councilor Leoly, and Mr. Meggin... Mrs. Leoly's father. I think it should be Meggin Sir's request."

Jenny: Wait, there seems to be something wrong.

Jenny: "!! That is to say, Senator Leoli married his friend's daughter?!" Fuck you, old pervert!

John: "..."

Sherlock: "Exactly."

Seeing Jenny's weird face, John felt that it was better not to continue talking about seniority and age. He happily took out two tickets from his pocket, "Look!"

"What is this?" Jenny took the ticket, her eyes widened immediately, "The Royal Ballet's ticket, they will perform for five consecutive days from today until the New Year, this is the ticket for the private room, how could you have it! "

Damn rich!

The evil privileged class!

Jenny roared in her heart, isn't this the scene she was going to watch tonight?Although she also has a ticket for the same performance, her ticket is only a general seat ticket, and she got it through her relationship.

But these two guys actually have two tickets for a box! ! !

Jenny looked at the two men opposite her with fire-breathing eyes.

Sherlock seemed to feel something, and he understood what was going on at a glance, but he couldn't stop John from saying excitedly: "It was sent by Mrs. Leoli, oh, the performance of the Royal Ballet, which is very difficult to get Where's the ticket?"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Sherlock coughed violently, but he didn't have time to interrupt John.

Jenny didn't buy it at all, she said angrily: "Of course it's hard to get it, the tickets were sold out as early as a month ago, even if it's the worst seat, you have to have a relationship to get it, and they only have one seat One sale at a time, full tickets like this...hehe..." She twisted the two pieces of paper in her hand and almost tore the ticket in half, even an idiot would know what was going on.

"Uh..." John was obviously not an idiot, and finally realized something was wrong. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that no matter what he said, he seemed to be suspected of showing off, so he had no choice but to look at Sherlock for help.

John: Help, Holmes, you don't want to eat dry bread in the New Year, do you?

Sherlock put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin calmly, changed his usual mocking smile into a more sincere one, and said to Jenny: "Mrs. Hudson, please allow me to invite you to watch the ballet with us." .It was a fantastic performance by the Royal Ballet and it would be a shame to miss it.”

Jenny smiled hypocritically: "But...will it trouble you too much?"

Sherlock said cooperatively: "Of course not, ma'am, it's our honor."

That's about the same.Jenny smoothed the creases on the ticket with a smirk, "Since Mr. Holmes' invitation is so gracious, how can I refuse? Let me see, it starts at eight o'clock in the evening, oh my god, we have to hurry up."

Sherlock: "There should be enough time, we have reserved a carriage."

Jenny: "I mean I have to hurry up... Oh, my God, I have to change clothes, so I won't excuse you. I'm sorry." After speaking, Jenny stood up happily, calling Fantine repeatedly, While trotting upstairs to change clothes... Of course, she didn't forget to take the ticket.

John watched this scene with his mouth open, feeling that he probably went to the wrong set.

Flattery, too flattering, is this still Sherlock Holmes?

"Stop the imagination in your head." Sherlock returned to his true colors, rolled his eyes at the sky and said, "Whose fault do you think it's all? Watson, I'm so disappointed that you didn't notice, a month ago haha Mrs. Desen marked the performance time in the newspaper, oh, no, no, I remember you told me."

John immediately shut his mouth.He remembered that there was indeed such a thing. At that time, he wondered to Sherlock whether Jenny would go to see it...but he himself forgot.

"It's a good thing you remember, Holmes." John apologized immediately. He didn't expect Mrs. Hudson to be a ballet fan, and he was showing off in front of her just now... What a killer.

"Okay, we have to hurry." Sherlock immediately forgave John, and he was really forgiving.

#Being so kind to friends, I feel great~#

Jenny hummed the tune of "Swan Lake" and took out the clothes she had prepared earlier. It was a rose gray gold dress. This color and purple were difficult to control, because it was easy to wear it into a caramel color if she was not careful, but To Jenny, it's of course a trivial matter, the more colors that others can't wear, the more she likes them.She had prepared this skirt a long time ago, and it was for wearing at social events after the mourning period. Unfortunately, she never had the chance, and she was finally able to wear it today.

With Fantine's help, Jenny puts on her corset and skirt.Although it is winter, this year's popular style is strapless, and Jenny chose a golden cross necklace to match.The skirt is pulled up on the left side to create a layered effect, adding a bit of elegance to the whole.

Jenny tried on several pairs of shoes, and at the end she decided to wear a pair of high heels. You know, these shoes are not very warm...all for beauty!

After tying up her hair, Jenny carefully put on her makeup, and then she tried on all the earrings, but she was never satisfied.Jenny's heart moved, and she took out a box from the box, which was the Christmas present from Sherlock yesterday.

I was thinking about sealing it up yesterday, and I’m thinking about wearing it again today.Jenny laughed at herself for a while, then slowly took out the earrings and put them on... She found that the pair of earrings matched the suit very well.

...Don't think about it, just let it go!Anyway, no one knew he sent it.

Jenny thought of "giving up on herself".

After a final tidying, Jenny came downstairs with a white fur shawl, and Fantine followed her.

On the first floor, Sherlock and John had already changed into black tuxedos, and men always dressed faster than women.They both wore black cravats, and both carried a black woolen top hat.The difference is that Sherlock wears a watch on his vest like an old-school gentleman, while John wears a fancier printed vest.

Sherlock was almost getting impatient with waiting, but John was quite experienced. He kept comforting Sherlock, hoping that he would be more patient... But John also hoped that Jenny would hurry up, otherwise they would really be late.
