[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 25

In the peaceful and serene New Year, John tried his best to make his New Year holiday as colorful as possible, and he went to all social invitations.Jenny made a windfall with her life before Christmas, and she decided to use it in her life, so she took Fantine and Cosette to go shopping every day, and bought a lot of things, fabrics, lace, jewelry... …

Only Sherlock found it very boring.

"Boring." Sherlock sat in the armchair in front of the fireplace, with his long legs curled up on the chair, his hands folded on his chin, and suddenly spit out a word.

"What?" John, who was reading a newspaper, looked up.

Sherlock was waiting for someone to talk to him. He jumped up with his legs stretched, stood in front of the fireplace, and walked back and forth anxiously. "Boring, boring, where have all the criminals in London gone? Don't they all have a collective New Year's holiday? Case, I need a case to turn my brain around."

Although John feels sympathetic to Sherlock, he has nothing to do, but the good doctor still advises his roommate dutifully: "How about seeing if there is any news in the newspaper?"

Sherlock looked at John condemningly, as if he said something that shouldn't be said, "It's all boring things, having an affair, running away from home, losing items..." If there is a case that I like, will I still be bored? ? "I need a real case, a big case!" Sherlock vented for a while, then turned around a few times like a cat chasing its tail, and finally grabbed the violin and stood in front of the window and played it—sawing wood Concerto...==

John, who was in the same room, couldn't sit still because of the music that sounded like sawing wood. "Holmes, Holmes, can't you... at least keep your voice down?"

"No." Sherlock flatly refused, and continued his sawing wood concerto.

Jenny and Fantine are in the living room on the first floor. In order to save coal, she usually stays with Fantine on the first floor when she is not shopping these days, teaching Cosette some basic skills.At first, Jenny heard a "boom" on the second floor, and then "da da da da" footsteps echoed in front of the fireplace, and then the heavy footsteps walked to the window, and finally scared everyone A jump of "creak creak".

"Oh, my God." Jenny held her head weakly.

"It seems that Mr. Holmes is bored again," said Fantine, as she twirled the ball of wool.

"Mr. Holmes has no case." Cosette nodded "I understand" like a little adult, but the baby fat on her face only made her cuter.

The sound of sawing wood on the second floor quickly made everyone feel unbearable.

"Fantine, get the coffee... No, no, let's have tea, bring the tea pot." Jenny stood up to fetch the tea set, and Fantine quickly prepared the tea and boiling water.Put the tea leaves into the big belly pot, pour in the hot water just boiled, and then count to ten silently while rotating slowly, pour the tea water from the filter into the teacup, and it's done.Put on two sweet and greasy cream cakes, which are just right for original tea, put on two small silver forks, and Jenny carried the tray to the second floor to rescue 221b.

"Gentlemen, let's have some tea." Jenny said standing at the door on the second floor.

"Oh, that's great." John had long hoped that someone would save him, so he immediately stood up and removed all the newspapers on the table.

Jenny put the contents of the tray on the table, and said to Sherlock who was still standing in front of the window playing the violin, "Mr. Holmes?"

"No." a.

"Uh..." Jenny and John looked at each other helplessly. In fact, she really wanted to go downstairs. Listening at close range was more lethal... But John's pleading eyes made Jenny decide to try again.

"Is there any news recently?" Jenny knew she was wrong as soon as she said this, and John indicated with his eyes that he had already used this trick.

"Well, then, how about trying to write about your old cases?"

"No." That was Watson's job.

"Oh, by the way, would you like to call on Inspector Lestrade? I think he will be very glad to see you."

"No." I don't think he would be happy.

Neither this nor that, Jenny felt that her patience was exhausted.

"Mr. Holmes, please come and finish this cup of tea, and then go out for a walk with Dr. Watson! How about it?" Jenny said with a smile and a fierce look in her eyes.

If you feel uncomfortable, everyone will feel uncomfortable too. Are you a brat who hasn’t passed the second stage of middle school, Mr. Holmes?

"Squeak..." A long tune so piercing that itchy ears announced the end of the etude.Sherlock turned his head and glanced at Jenny, his clever brain quickly deduced what would happen if he continued to be arrogant, and Sherlock made a wise decision... to drink tea.

I didn't do this because I was afraid of you, just because I was a gentleman, and a gentleman shouldn't embarrass a lady.

why me?John felt that he was really shot while lying down.

Well, it's me, it's me, at least I don't have to hurt my ears any more when I go out.

By the way, after kicking Sherlock Noise Maker Holmes out of the house, Jenny continued to sew shirts contentedly, ready to make a few shirts for Sherlock, as a gift for Christmas. As for Sherlock seeing What will this gift look like... She doesn't care, anyway, the size is absolutely guaranteed.And although she also gave her a gift on Christmas, the pair of ruby ​​earrings that Sherlock gave her were too expensive, if she didn't give something back... She always felt that she couldn't face Sherlock.

Cosette was also embroidering a small flower on a piece of cloth in a decent manner.

Fantine was infinitely grateful to Jenny for considering Cosette as an apprentice.Although Fantine regarded Jenny as a savior before, but now even if Jenny told her to kill someone, she was willing to go.

Jenny thought that Sherlock and John would deal with it and come back after a short walk, but they didn't expect that the two of them would not come back until dark, and they came back with a big wooden box.

"Be careful, be careful, there are glass products inside." John directed two workers to carefully lift the box upstairs.

"What's this?" Jenny walked to the door.The box didn't look heavy, but the two were still very careful.

"Mrs. Hudson, what time is dinner? Watson and I are already hungry." Shylock followed behind and shouted loudly. He put his hat and John's hat on the hanger, took off his coat and handed it to him. to Jenny.

"My God, where have you been?" Jenny noticed that the hem of the coat was covered with mud spots. "Dinner is ready anytime, Mr. Holmes, er... what is that?"

"Just some experimental tools, Mrs. Hudson, do you have a screwdriver?" Sherlock took off his gloves and stuffed them into his pockets.

"Yes...let me look for it." Jenny couldn't remember where it was put after a while.

"Please bring it up, and hot water." Sherlock trotted upstairs as he said.Soon the two workers left.

Hope my rug is okay.Jenny thought anxiously, did I underestimate Mr. Holmes's effort?

After Jenny followed Fantine upstairs, she found that Sherlock and John had already opened the box, and they were placing the instruments inside one by one on the table in front of the sink in the living room.

"What is this?" Jenny asked Fantine to put down the hot water, and let her go.Instead of approaching the busy men, Jenny stood by the table and watched the two men walking back and forth.

"It's some experimental supplies." John struggled to move an iron shelf onto the table. "When we passed by St. Louis Street, we happened to see a store selling these things, so Holmes bought them. Hoo~" he called out With a sigh of relief, he wiped his sweat.

"Yes." Sherlock put the test tube rack away, took out a small box from the box, and put the test tubes inside on the shelf one by one, "It's too inconvenient to always go to Barts Hospital, but it's much more convenient now gone."

Jenny was surprised: "Are you still working at Barts Hospital?" You didn't get fired for such an absence?

"No." Sherlock raised his head proudly, "I once helped them a little, so the dean allowed me to borrow their laboratory."

"Oh my god, that sounds like a sad story." Jenny's phony reply made Sherlock give her a disapproving look.

"By the way, there is one thing I must explain in advance." Jenny felt that it was better to say some things first, "I hope your experiment will not have any impact on my house, otherwise you will have to compensate me." Like This kind of high-intelligence and rich man would feel sorry for himself if he didn't seize the opportunity to kill him, and Jenny felt that Sherlock would definitely not know what restraint was.

"Of course." Sherlock agreed without hesitation, making Jenny feel that her decision was right. If there is a chance, she must ask for a higher price.

Jenny, who had achieved her goal, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, come down to eat when you're done, I'll go and prepare first."

John looked up at once and said, "Okay, Mrs. Hudson, I'm really hungry. I think I could eat a cow now."

Sherlock quickly found pleasure in all kinds of long, short, curved and straight glass tubes, and the second floor of 221b is more and more like a magic cave instead of a normal person's residence-it emits some explosions from time to time sound, or smoke of strange colours.Recording paper was thrown everywhere.

Jenny decided to put up with him.Anyway, you can only choose between enduring this or enduring that. Compared with destroying your ears, Jenny would rather spend some money to change the table or carpet... Then Jenny realized that what she thought was really sweet~
