Chapter 36

"How did you know that Dr. Prakat had a problem?" John finally couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, it's just a small guess. It seems that I guessed it right." Sherlock looked indifferent, and John didn't believe that he guessed it at all.

"I didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Luska's family. Even if it was because he wanted to marry his beloved, the doctor used the wrong method. There should be no life and blood in a holy marriage." Darcy stood aside Frowning deeply, his marriage with the second lady of the Bennet family has finally been settled. It is also difficult to be able to marry the one he loves, but even in the situation with Dr. Prakat, Darcy will never Impossible to kill like Doctor Prakat.

"Love..." John sighed.

While talking, Jenny and Darcy's sister, Georgiana, walked in hand in hand.

Georgiana was not short, but slender, blond, with soft features, wearing a pearly white dress, and moving like a willow.Although she is already dead, but because she was well protected since she was a child, she has an innocence that is ignorant of the world.Jenny is just the opposite. She is a few years older. She is also blond and wears a long white dress, but she exudes a mature self-confidence, making her amiable and credible.

Two blond beauties walked in.It seems that the whole room is much brighter.

"You're finally here, Mr. Holmes. The case over there is over?" Jenny asked familiarly.

"Yes, but it took a little time." Sherlock gestured slightly.

"It's over here too." Jenny smiled slyly.

"Isn't it? We're talking about it," John interjected.

"Well, Georgiana, didn't you say you were going to buy new tableware yesterday? Did they send the brochure today?" Darcy didn't want his sister to have too much contact with this kind of murder case, so he changed the subject abruptly.

"Not yet, brother, but the curtain brochure has been delivered, do you want to see it? After all, this is for your wedding." Georgiana said playfully.Mr. Darcy felt quite comforted, his sister was too shy, and he often didn't know how to communicate with her, but since Mrs. Hudson came, Georgiana began to change for the better, which made Darcy Very grateful sir.

A few people chatted casually, and then they met to go out for a walk.

Mr. Darcy specially took Georgiana and invited John to go with him. He hoped that Georgiana would gradually get used to the strange man. John was honest and honest, but he often had witticisms, so he was a good candidate.

Sherlock extended his hand to Jenny in a gentlemanly manner, and the two walked slowly behind.While chatting.

"Can you tell me about your case?"

"Of course, to put it simply, Mr. Passmore's brother was killed by the hotel owner and his wife. The couple were a pair of gangsters. They were murdered by the young Passmore Jr. 15 years ago. Mr. saw it. Passmore Jr. accidentally mentioned this while chatting with others in the hotel. I believe he didn’t actually remember the appearance of the thieves couple, but they still killed him in panic. They used Oleander extract juice, and there is a grove of oleander near the hotel, which is famous for its beauty."

Jenny was slightly surprised, "They even extracted the juice? Then how did you catch them? I believe they will not leave any evidence."

Sherlock smiled slightly. "I recognized them, then found their criminal record, and secretly revealed it to them. The hotel owner was caught when he poisoned my dinner."

"What? You lived there with Dr. Watson? No, no, you lived there after Dr. Watson left. It's too dangerous, Mr. Holmes, too dangerous." Jenny said disapprovingly, "He may Poison you instead of giving you a chance to prepare."

Sherlock looked at Jenny silently for a while, and suddenly asked: "Are you concerned about me, Mrs. Hudson?" Without waiting for Jenny to respond, Sherlock continued: "Actually, there is no need to worry at all, Mrs. Hudson, I'm not Mr. Passmore Jr. The smell of oleander is actually so recognizable that you can't ignore it even in a thick soup."

Jenny: "...I don't think there is any need to worry." Who cares about you, just be affectionate.

Sherlock looked a little disappointed.

"It's a good idea to reproduce the scene and catch the prisoner. Guide Dr. Prakat to simulate the scene of his murder, and then let Fantine sit in another train to testify against him. But your idea this time has two flaws. The first One is Fantine’s identity. If it’s just evidence collection, she may be fine, but asking a maid to be a conclusive witness...it’s hard to be convincing if it’s in London. Second, you haven’t found conclusive evidence or witnesses. Dr Prakat can totally deny that he killed his wife, unless you can find witnesses that he did get on that train with his wife, and in the same compartment. I guess it's your luck this time haha Mrs Desen."

Jenny nodded frequently at first, then thought about it, no, I am not going to be a detective, why should I listen to Sherlock Holmes here?

Sherlock: "..."

Jenny: "?"

Sherlock knew this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to investigate Mrs. Hudson.Such as her past, such as her craft, such as her knowledge, such as her reasoning ability and wise mind.Even knowledge that a man might not have, Mrs. Hudson took at her fingertips and took it for granted, as if it were common sense.If she is really such a person, it is impossible for her to marry her previous husband. This cannot be explained by love at all.

But before asking the question, Sherlock's brain has quickly calculated five possible reactions and four possible consequences for Mrs. Hudson. No matter which one is, Sherlock's current living environment will definitely be affected. .Sherlock, who is satisfied with the current living environment and three meals a day, finally swallowed the question. Maybe when his curiosity overwhelms his comfort in a comfortable life, he will explore this question again.

"Holmes, what are you talking about? Hurry up." John shouted, the three of them had already walked far ahead, and now they all stopped to wait for Sherlock and Jenny to catch up.

"The scenery here is beautiful, isn't it? Mr. and Miss Darcy invited us to stay for a few more days." John felt that it was great to have a vacation.

"Yeah... oh, I've been in Pemberley so long I don't think about London that's always gray and smelly... Can we still fish in the lake in the summer? There must be a lot of fish in this lake ?” Jenny had already received a wedding invitation from Mr. Darcy.

"Of course, rowing is also a good choice." Thinking of the summer wedding, Darcy's cheeks were slightly flushed, but his expression remained unchanged.

Seeing the sudden happiness of Mr. Darcy, who is usually too serious, Jenny suddenly felt a little envious, which really stimulated her as a loner. It is gratifying that besides her, there are four more loners here.

After a pleasant few days at the heavenly (Jane's) Pemberley Manor, the landlady and tenant of 221b Baker Street returned to London with their maid, and of course Cosette.

"My God, London is still as bad as ever, and the Thames is just as stinky." Jenny helped Sherlock's hand and got off the carriage.

"I feel great, interesting cases are waiting for me, how wonderful." Sherlock smiled.

"I feel very bad when you say that. But I have to go to work again, and I will be very, very busy in the future. Banks has helped me cover a lot of shifts." John counted and felt that the next It must have been a very bad day.

Several people picked up a Tom with a full face at the door.

Tom: "~~~>д<~~~ Jenny, you are finally back~~~ You went on vacation without telling me~~~~"

Jenny: "...uh, I forgot... ahaha, don't worry about it." No wonder I always feel like I haven't done anything.

Tom: "Д... out of stock..." I was almost tortured by those women asking about your whereabouts.

Fortunately, Jenny has been busy, and she has embroidered dozens of handkerchiefs. "I brought you a present, Tom, and it's been sent to your house."

When she was free in Pemberley, Jenny often taught Georgiana some handicrafts, such as weaving rope, making beaded silk flowers, stringing bracelets and so on.The lifelike silk flowers made by Jenny amazed Mr. and Miss Darcy.Georgiana is very talented and likes these, but her status determines that she will not make a living from it.Darcy, however, seeing Georgiana's liking, specially bought a bunch of utensils and implements at great expense, as well as expensive muslin and silk.

What Jenny sent Tom were two peonies in purple and yellow silk, which would be excellent for hats or skirts.When Tom heard that there were such artificial flowers, he couldn't sit still and went home immediately.

"Fantine, go to the market first to see what else is available. Don't forget the bread." Jenny poured out a few coins from her wallet and handed them to Fantine. At least today's dinner must be settled. She will go out for ten days and return home. There was nothing to eat but bacon and sausages and rice.
