[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 24

When Jenny came downstairs, John couldn't help being amazed.

John found that every time Mrs. Hudson was dressed like this, it was very different from usual.Although it is still the same eyebrows and eyes, still the gentle smile, and the friendly expression, but...how should I put it?Is it related to the aura?I always feel that her current appearance is a bit similar to that when Holmes got the case from Sheriff Lestrade. It is not so much a working state as it is a preparation before going to the battlefield... But how could this be?It's just like going to a ballet.

John felt that he was really thinking too much.

"Mrs. Hudson, you are so beautiful tonight." John was ready to step forward, but Sherlock beat him.

"Mrs. Hudson, if you pay attention to the time, you will find that we are going to be late, so we have to hurry up, which is not safe." Sherlock complained and stretched out his hand naturally.He glanced at Jenny's ears quickly, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and then quickly flattened.

"Sorry, gentlemen, but you must forgive me." Jenny took Sherlock's outstretched arm and made a final confession to Fantine: "If we come back too late, there is no need to wait."

"Yes, ma'am." Fantine nodded.

"Hurry up, Watson, weren't you still urging me just now?" Sherlock turned and called John.

Who the hell was impatient just now?John curled his lips and hurried to follow.

Let Jenny get into the car first, Sherlock said to the coachman: "Royal Opera House, if you can arrive within 15 minutes, I will give you an extra half shilling." After speaking, he also got into the carriage, and finally john.

For the half shilling tip, the coachman also worked very hard.But there was one thing that John found very strange: "Holmes, when did you change the carriage?" They originally ordered a two-person carriage, but now this is a four-seater carriage.

"Just when you went back to your room to change your tie." Sherlock replied with half-closed eyes.

John: "You're really fast."

Sherlock didn't continue the subject.But Jenny exclaimed: "Change the carriage? My God, I ruined your plan, didn't I?"

"No, of course not." John said stiffly.

"That's good." Jenny patted her chest.She has noticed it since last time. John seems to be very awkward when he sees her carefully dressed up. It's really interesting~

Sherlock is noncommittal about the fact that his landlord molested his roommate.

John also found that his attitude seemed a little weird. He smiled dryly, turned to Sherlock and asked, "By the way, Holmes, I have already written the last case. If you allow me, I would like to send it to the newspaper office." , see if it can be published."

"No." Sherlock simply refused.

"Ah? Why?" John didn't expect this answer.

"What case?" Jenny interrupted.

"It was the one last time, ah, Mrs. Hudson, it was you who suggested that I write that case, have you forgotten? It was the first time I went to investigate a case with Holmes, I think it is very memorable ...I called that story 'The Study in Scarlet'...what do you think?" John replied.

"Ah~!" Jenny remembered, and later she looked for a newspaper to read, and later found out that the report was not written by John, and she thought John had given up.but……

"But didn't the newspaper reports say it was the police's fault?" Jenny recalled for a while.

Sherlock, who closed his eyes and meditated, raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He knew that the landlady had already understood the reason for his refusal.But John obviously didn't understand. "But that's just that Holmes doesn't want credit. In fact, Holmes did solve that case."

Jenny reminded John: "The case has been finalized. If you say that the case was not solved by the police, but someone else, isn't that expressing your dissatisfaction with the police and the government, Dr. Watson?"

Only then did John realize this, "How could this be... Holmes, you knew it from the beginning, right? Why didn't you remind me?"

Sherlock closed his eyes and said, "Dear Watson, you are so excited, how can I bear to hurt you? Besides..." He opened his eyes and glanced at John, "It's not bad to practice your writing. I've seen The story you wrote, I have to say, your attention is completely on the novelty of the whole case and the love and hatred of the parties, instead of solving the science. I think this violates the meaning of your record of this case. "

John puffed his cheeks in frustration, "Holmes!"

Jenny was snickering when she noticed that Sherlock's eyes had turned around. She quickly smoothed things over and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, Dr. Watson. Everyone has their own style... This case won't work, you can try to write Others, like ones without police involvement."

John was instantly taken aback, "Good idea, Mrs. Hudson."

"But please let me read this story." Jenny said again.

"Of course." The matter was so happily decided.

While speaking, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the carriage arrived within 15 minutes.

John, who was sitting on the outermost side, got out of the car first. He turned around and helped Jenny get out of the car. After Sherlock jumped out of the carriage, he threw a shilling to the coachman.

Finally got back the "ticket pledge" from Jenny, Sherlock changed hands and threw the ticket to the waiter, and someone came over immediately to show them the way.According to the instructions, the three found their own boxes.No. [-] is not a long-term rental box. The Leoli couple usually like to go to the Royal Theater, but this location is good enough.

"Swan Lake" was created by Russian composer Tchaikovsky five years ago, and it was only introduced to the UK last year. Once it was performed, it immediately caused a sensation.This classic drama that will last for two to three hundred years is still very popular even now.

This is a court story full of intrigue and struggle.

Once upon a time there was a kingdom whose king, very unfortunately, had no rightful heir, but only one daughter, the White Princess.Maybe the king has a son, but certainly not from the queen, and an illegitimate child has no right of inheritance, even if he is a king.Now as a matter of course, his daughter needs a husband, and her husband, through her, will receive her father's kingdom.

There is a prince, of course he is definitely not the heir of his own kingdom, maybe his parents like him very much, but maybe his brother doesn’t like him so much because of this, so he has to find someone by himself, someone who can bring him Another object of the kingdom... well, Princess White.But this kind of wishful thinking is obviously not only for the prince. Before he came, the white princess had already been seduced by another suitor, who was first come, first served but failed in the end. He was also called a black wizard and unlucky. .

However, the prince has his own advantages. He is young, strong, and handsome. Princess Bai will naturally empathize with him.There are several advantages to choosing a prince. First, of course, because he is much younger than the other suitor. You know, the other suitor is old enough to be the father of Princess White, and he has another one who is about her age. The daughter of my daughter... She likes to be a mother as soon as she gets married... Second, compared with a strong and cunning suitor, the prince looks stupid, and it is easier to control when married, and then become a puppet, and then become a queen... It's so delicious just thinking about it~

So after a cheating date in the middle of the night, Princess Bai and the prince made an agreement to marry (marry).

but!

How could a strong suitor allow the little scumbag to dump him and marry another slut?After sneaking a peek at this scene, the suitor asked his daughter, Princess Hei, to hook up with the prince who was obsessed with sex... Sure enough, he was hooked—every man has a humble person in his heart, rational Tell them that dignified women are suitable to be wives, but their lower bodies are always attracted by fleshy beauties.

The prince was so intoxicated by the black princess that he even used his little brain to come up with a bad idea: let the black princess pretend to be the white princess, so that he could not only inherit the kingdom, but also be with his little lover in a fair and honest way.

The man behind the scenes, the suitor, also thinks this is a good idea. As long as he shows up with the real Princess Bai at the last moment, he will be able to turn things around, expose the conspiracy, and savior, marry Princess Bai, inherit the kingdom, and embark on the journey of life. The pinnacle of life... Thinking about it makes people feel unstoppable~ When he becomes the king, he will naturally be able to bring out his daughter, Princess Hei, and after the matter is over, the prince can use waste to give his daughter a gift.

It's a pity that the white princess is not a vegetarian. She exposed the conspiracy before the suitor. Now the suitor and his daughter have become conspirators, and they are expelled from the country in the name of the black wizard.As for the prince... huh huh~ Princess Bai still needs a husband to inherit the kingdom, doesn't she?Although this is a bit of a scumbag, it’s all just for fun~

Jenny was concentrating on watching the performance while brainstorming. At this time, the benefits of doing housework every day were reflected. She could hold the binoculars from the opening to the curtain call without feeling tired.

Maybe the stage will get bigger and better with the passage of time, but the artistry and emotion of the artists cannot be replicated.Even though she has seen countless versions of "Swan Lake" with high-tech participation, Jenny was still moved when she re-watched the original version.

In addition to Jenny, John also looked very seriously. He was almost drooling when he saw those firm and firm white thighs that were lifted up high...Of course this is an exaggerated modification, but he did There is no more refined sympathy for such a popular drama.

After Sherlock read the program, he has been leaning against the corner between the railing and the wall with his eyes closed to enjoy the music. While listening to it, he tapped the rhythm with his fingers on his knees. For him, dancing is nothing but music. decorations, he can know the direction of the plot just by listening to the music.

When the curtain fell again, Jenny took a long breath and put down the binoculars. "I think the leading lady probably can't continue anymore, I wonder who will play the leading role tomorrow?" Jenny said to herself.

"Why do you say that, Mrs. Hudson." John asked strangely.

"I guess she was probably injured, and the last scene even relied on willpower to finish the dance, but she overestimated her ability a little too much." Jenny explained, "Three mistakes, in the last scene, although her partner It helped her cover it up very well, I think her calf is probably cramping right now."

"Ha!" Sherlock suddenly yelled mockingly, and he opened his eyes, revealing "stupid mortals, stupid actions, stupid actions." Such an expression.

"I'm totally confused." John wanted someone to clarify.

"Who knows? Maybe... someone doesn't want her to continue to be the protagonist." Jenny said the last sentence very quietly.

John raised his eyebrows knowingly.

A trace of doubt flashed in Sherlock's heart.

Mrs Hudson...seems familiar with the play...

This thought just flashed through his mind, and Sherlock had no intention of delving into it.Although he is always laughing, he is actually very clear that this world has its own rules.Everyone had their little secrets, and he didn't have to dig them out, especially Mrs. Hudson, who was always surprising.

Sherlock knows that he has all kinds of little problems, but he has no intention of correcting them.He has little regard for women's intelligence, although he hides this contempt under the gentleman's demeanor, in fact, except for the Holmes family, other people always look stupid.Even Watson, of course Sherlock sincerely regards him as a friend, but he is also worried about his friend's intelligence.

As for Mrs. Hudson... Sherlock has never been able to judge his landlady.

She looks like any other single woman doing nothing, housework, work, feeding herself, gossip, boring shopping... If it wasn't three years ago, it would be four years ago now, the deal she made with her, Sherlock It would simply put her in the grid of "woman, mentally incompetent, landlady".

By the way, is there a second woman who will use the case to trap her husband in prison and get all his property?If women are like this, men have to be careful.

"Holmes, Holmes."

"kindness?"

Sherlock woke up and found John standing in front of him with a helpless face, "Holmes, we should go."

Sherlock glanced at it, and sure enough it was over.

"Then, let's go, what are we waiting for." Sherlock got up quickly and walked out, as if the person who just dawdled was not him.

This guy!

John and Jenny looked at each other helplessly, neither of them understood what was going on with Sherlock.

"Permit." John held out his arm. "Of course." Jenny took John's hand and covered her shawl with one hand.The two walked out together.

There were a lot of people outside the theater, and it was hard to find a carriage, but Sherlock was already standing next to one. Seeing Jenny and John walking out slowly, he knocked on the carriage impatiently.Jenny and John looked at each other and smiled, and Sherlock immediately asked sharply, "Is there anything I missed?"

John suppressed a smile and said, "Just now Mrs. Hudson said that we don't need to rush out like others, because you will find the carriage, Holmes."

Jenny: "I'm flattering you, Mr. Holmes."

Sherlock glared at the two of them, and still opened the car door very gentlemanly to let Jenny get in the car first.

Sherlock: So, last time and this time, what does this woman think of me?
