[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 49

The way back to the room was really tiring, Jenny seemed like a thief.Early in the morning, just after dawn, I followed the famous playboy on the way to my room... If any early riser saw her, then...hehe.

After a few minutes of walking, Jenny Lu was physically and mentally exhausted, so when she reached her room, she simply said to Bruce Willie, "Goodbye, Viscount Bruce Willie." Then she closed the door.

Bruce Willie stood at the door and touched his nose. Seriously, it was the first time he had been treated like this since he was 13 years old.

Jenny really didn't have the energy to care about whether Bruce Willie's boyish heart had been hit. She threw the coat casually, fell directly to the big bed, closed her eyes and rolled into the cold blanket, and fell asleep in two seconds. caught.

When Jenny heard someone knocking on the door again, she almost wanted to knock the knocker into the sky with a hammer and turn him into a star.

Mary standing at the door was also frightened by the dark circles under Jenny's eyes and the murderous look in her eyes, "The Marchioness of Beveridge is going to have lunch in the bedroom, and she asked me to bring you lunch. In the afternoon, Madam hopes to invite you Go to the reading room." After speaking, Mary hurriedly put down the plate in her hand and left in a hurry.

Jenny felt a buzzing in her head. She fell back on the bed and rolled twice, rolled up again, and rang the bell. A few minutes later, a maid knocked on the door and came in.

"Please bring me a cup of black coffee and two spoonfuls of sugar," Jenny ordered.She struggled to get out of the shower (almost fell asleep in the bathroom), hot black coffee was already on the table, Jenny ate some breakfast first, and then finished the coffee.

... coffee magic is useless at all, okay?

When Jenny yawned No.15, the Marchioness of Beveridge finally couldn't help asking her: "Dear Mrs. Hudson, I didn't expect you to move so fast?"

"What?" Jenny asked a little dull.

"Looking at you, you didn't sleep well yesterday, did you? Which man has won your heart so quickly?"

Jenny finally realized that the Marchioness of Beveridge was teasing her, and she replied dumbfoundedly: "You are joking, Lady Beveridge. I'm just not used to such a soft bed."

The Marchioness of Beveridge said that an explanation was a cover-up.

"Okay, ma'am, don't make fun of me. I can see that your eyebrows are full of worry... Is there anything else that makes you feel embarrassed?" Jenny changed the subject.

The expression of the Marchioness of Beveridge immediately turned into sorrow. She put down the book in her hand, leaned half on the couch, opened the fan to half cover her face, and the sorrow in her eyes seemed to turn into water droplets.

If a man was sitting across from her, he would immediately jump up and kneel in front of the beauty, hold her little hand and swear to solve all her troubles for her.

...The problem is that Jenny, who is also a woman, is sitting opposite the beauty, and she is still indifferent to this aristocratic pretense.

The Marchioness of Beveridge: ...

The Marchioness of Beveridge: "Mrs. Hudson, you are really a cruel person~"

Jenny: "You"?How can I be cruel again?

Jenny: "Dear Marquis Beveridge, as always, I sit in front of you and wait to share your worries."

Without the support of the audience, the Marquise Beveridge, who couldn't pretend anymore, straightened up, closed her fan with a snap, and said, "I originally made an appointment to meet someone here, and I promised to come this morning, but it's about this time He hasn't heard anything yet, you said..."

"'He'~" Jenny boldly teased the Marquise, and then said with a smile: "I have made an appointment, what else can I do? It must have been delayed on the road. It rained heavily last night, and I Woke up, the road must be difficult to walk. If there is a delay of two or three days, there may be an accident."

According to the gossip and her own guess, Jenny took a vaccination first.

As if she suddenly figured it out, the Marquise Beveridge fell down again, and said proudly, "Forget it, man, hmph~"

Jenny: ...So what do you want! !

There was no news of her lover on the first day, and the Marchioness of Beveridge was still a little worried, but she still had no news on the second day, and the Marchioness of Beveridge became angry.

The Marchioness of Beveridge: My mother left so many handsome men and came to the countryside not to see the scenery!

So when Viscount Bruce Willie appeared, he was warmly received by the Marchioness of Beveridge...the enthusiasm was too much for him.Although he himself considers himself romantic and suave, and his lover ranges from 40 to 14 years old, but... he would not dare to have an affair with the Marchioness of Beveridge with the courage of the two of them.

It's really... so tragic, I can't stand it anymore!

Jenny decided to go to the reading room alone, out of sight.

As expected of the Duke of Windsor's territory, even if he doesn't live here all year round, there are many things here, at least Jenny likes the reading room very much.

It is said to be a reading room, but it should actually be a private library.There are two floors above and below. The designer has used the space very cleverly, changing the pillars and walls into bookshelves. There are sofas, couches, chairs and tables in front of the fireplace on the first floor. You can sit comfortably and read books, and it is also convenient Copy some information.

When I came here with the Marchioness of Beveridge yesterday, Jenny was in low spirits, so I went back and thought about it, what a waste~ So I recharged my energy and recharged my batteries today to read a book.

Jenny went to the kitchen to bring a pot of tea and a large plate of biscuits. On such a sunny day, she just hid in the reading room by herself while eating biscuits and reading a book...don't be too leisurely~

After eating for a while, Jenny stood up and shook her skirt, shaking the biscuit crumbs to the floor, and then sat back on the chair. She was careful not to get oil stains on the book.

There was a soft sound at the door, and Jenny pushed her head out from the handrail. The door opened a small crack, and a figure flashed in quickly, and then gently closed the door.

Bruce Willie hid in the reading room, patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, the Marquis of Beveridge was so difficult, she was just venting her anger.Before Bruce Willie could breathe a second, he had caught sight of the head protruding from the arm of his high-back chair...although she drew back quickly.

Standing awkwardly at the door, Bruce Willy twitched the corners of his mouth, adjusted his mood and expression, straightened his collar, walked over in a bachelor's way, and sat on the chair opposite Jenny.

"Hi, Mrs. Hudson, the weather is so nice outside, why don't you go out to play ball and take a walk or something?" Bruce Willie sat lazily on the chair, his long legs stretched out, really sitting Not sitting.

Jenny was already resistant to Bruce Willy's face, and she replied while reading a book: "The Marchioness of Beveridge has been with you all the time, how can I go out alone?"

Bruce Willie: Blame me?

Jenny: "It doesn't matter that I didn't go out, but you, Viscount Bruce Willie, it's really strange that you hid here like me and didn't go out. I just saw you talking to the Marchioness of Beveridge Very happy."

Bruce Willie: You didn't even come to save me when you saw it?

Bruce Willie felt that he needed to avoid rumors: "I think you probably misunderstood. Although Mrs. Beveridge is beautiful and moving, my relationship with her is not the kind of relationship you think."

"What kind of relationship?" After what happened that night, Jenny no longer had any respect for the viscount.

Jenny raised her head and glanced at Bruce Willy, "The Marchioness of Beveridge is the number one beauty in London, how many men would be honored to be her guest of honor. Ah~ I see, what happened two days ago... It’s really tiring, and it’s understandable that you have more energy than you want.”

Bruce Willie: "..." ==

It is unbearable for a man to be implied to be useless.

Bruce Willie: "Please don't give me hatred, Mrs. Hudson, I dare not offend Mrs. Beveridge, otherwise her..."

Accidentally slipped my mouth...

Jenny raised her eyebrows, "Is that how you think of Madam? I will pass on your opinion to the Marchioness of Beveridge."

Bruce Willie: ...what did I say?

Having just gone through the exciting plots, being physically and mentally exhausted after being teased by the Marchioness of Beveridge, and now being threatened by Mrs. Hudson who cut up human flesh as pork... the heart of Viscount Bruce Willie Also crashed.

After a boring silence for a while, Bruce Willy found out that Jenny really ignored him, which made him doubt his charm again.

The relaxed atmosphere is very comfortable...but you were still drooling at me the day before yesterday and today you are ignoring me, how can you be like this!

Bruce Willie: "Mrs. Hudson, what are you reading?"

Jenny lifted the cover to show him, without taking her eyes off the book.

Bruce Willie: "Origin of Species?"

How should I put it, Mr. Charles Robert Darwin has been controversial since he wrote this book until his death. The important thing is... No matter how you look at this kind of book, it is not a book that a woman likes to read.

Bruce Willie: "Did you like it? This book."

After realizing that as long as Bruce Willy was around, she couldn't read the book seriously anyway, so Jenny simply wrote down the page numbers, closed the book and said, "I think this book makes sense."

"Oh~" Bruce Willy squinted and said, "Do you believe this too? According to Mr. Darwin, humans evolved from monkeys, and you also think you evolved from monkeys?"

Jenny: "Hehe~" Of course human beings evolved from monkeys, you can see.

Jenny: "I don't know how humans evolved, but if that's true, you must have evolved from a handsome monkey."

Bruce Willie: "..." I don't want this kind of praise!I'm so sorry...

Jenny raised an eyebrow at Bruce Willy, and opened the book in her hand again.

Bruce Willy couldn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. He sat up abruptly, picked up the teapot that Jenny put on the coffee table, took a few sips boldly at the spout of the teapot, and then put the pot on the table with a "pong" On the coffee table, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth gracefully, before falling back into the chair again.

Now it was Jenny's turn to feel stuck.

Jenny: There's still half a pot of tea left, it's just been ruined...
