[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 68

"Ah, hello, Mrs. Hudson, hello, Fantine." The old man no longer had the loud voice just now, but another voice that Fantine was more familiar with.

"Mr....Mr. Holmes?!!!" Fantine couldn't help crying at last.

"Ah, it's me. It seems that although my outfit didn't fool some people, it still fooled most people." Sherlock raised his eyebrows proudly against the old man's face.

Jenny: "Hehe... I was quite surprised to recognize you in that situation, but thank you so much just now, Mr. Holmes, you saved my life."

"You're welcome, because it might have something to do with me." Sherlock took off his gloves and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten anything since last night."

"What? You haven't eaten two meals? I'll go get something to eat right away, you wait." Jenny put the hat back in Sherlock's hand, and walked downstairs quickly with her skirt in hand.

Jenny simply fried a piece of steak, made another bowl of vegetable salad, a bowl of pumpkin soup and a glass of water, and carried them upstairs.Before going upstairs, Jenny warned Fantine: "Don't let anyone know about Mr. Holmes' return. Do you understand, Fantine, I think this may be very serious." Will not reveal half a word in front of him.

"Have you been waiting for a long time... What happened?" Jenny carried the tray into the room on the second floor, and found Sherlock standing by the window, carefully opening a curtain to look around.He had already removed his makeup, revealing his true colors. Jenny felt that not only had he lost a lot of weight, but his complexion was also very bad.

"Why did you suddenly return to England? There was no news at all, and I was planning to send you a letter just now." Jenny couldn't help but whispered, "Someone is watching here?"

"It's just a few bugs." Sherlock came over and sat on a chair and began to eat. Although he was hungry twice, he still didn't rush.

Jenny didn't leave immediately, but sat on the chair next to her and talked with Sherlock.

"So this time the case is over? That's why you returned to England?" Jenny said this just to draw the topic, but in fact she knew very well in her heart that if it was really over, Sherlock didn't need to be so sneaky. return.

"I really want to say yes, but the truth may be more complicated than I thought before." Sherlock cut the whole steak into small pieces, and then stuffed a small piece into his mouth, chewed and swallowed quickly. "Not only is it complicated, but it also involves a wide range of aspects... Actually, I have been back for a few days, but I have never dared to come back."

"Because it's under surveillance? But... who is it?" Jenny suddenly realized, no wonder she always has a sense of crisis, and this must be the reason.

"I think you may have guessed something in your heart." Sherlock finished the pumpkin soup in one gulp. This thing was originally used as an appetizer, but now he regards it as a drink.

"I have some guesses in my mind? Could it be the Professor Moriarty you mentioned before? I thought his territory was only England." Jenny felt that she also admired that professor in her heart.

"Obviously his hand has been extended abroad." Sherlock said unhappily, "He's found a lot of trouble this time." But he became happy again in a blink of an eye, "But this time I also found him a lot of trouble." Little trouble."

Jenny: ...you really have a small heart...don't you two really love each other and kill each other?

Jenny: "So... what is this case like?" So much effort.

Sherlock dislikes explaining cases the most, and John usually takes this role, but John is not around at the moment, so he can barely explain: "A captain of the Dutch East India Company brought back a batch of treasures from the Far East, but in On the way back, he encountered a shipwreck, and he and his men hid the treasure on a deserted island, and then divided the treasure map into three, and he and the first mate and second mate each owned a third of it."

Jenny felt a little clear, "So they want you to help find the treasure?"

Sherlock raised his fork and rolled his eyes, "You're half right. The East India Company has been disbanded a long time ago. The Marlock Company, that is, the voyage company opened by the first mate after the dissolution, they found another third, plus They bought a third of what they had, so they wanted me to help find the remaining third."

Jenny went on to say: "But this is actually just a scam. Someone wants to use this batch of vain treasures to carry out a conspiracy."

Sherlock made a loud "da" with his tongue, and praised: "I knew it, Mrs. Hudson, you are much smarter than the average person, and they really should ask you to be a consultant, so I don't need to go there .”

Jenny: ...hehe...

Jenny: "So... Moriarty is behind it?"

Sherlock: "Just one of them. He consults criminals and never does it himself. The scene of this incident is Baron Moportuiz in Spain, but I have no definite evidence yet." Although Sherlock said so, But his expression was another story.

Jenny flattered a little, and said, "I think since you have returned to England, Spain must have a backup?",

"Yes, of course. Everyone thinks that I went back to England to pursue clues about Moriarty, but in fact, someone else from Spain has already investigated Moportuiz, ha." Sherlock seemed to think that this idea was true. wonderful.

... What a ghost!

Jenny couldn't believe it and asked: "So, you have attracted the eyes of the bad guys on the bright side, making them think that you came back to trouble Moriarty, and then let people secretly go to Spain to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes?" Huoli, good people will be done by others... Are you out of your mind?

Sherlock felt that it was necessary to correct Mrs. Hudson, "This is the most reasonable arrangement."

Jenny: "Hehe, I just think you trust the person who went to Spain to investigate."

Sherlock immediately shut up, lowered his head and stuffed steaks into his mouth piece by piece.

Jenny said thoughtfully, "So...the carriage was really coming towards me just now?" It was really frenzied.

Sherlock blinked, swallowed the steak in his mouth, and said, "They're not sure, but just in case, I won't stay for long."

"When will this case be over? You really need to take a good rest for a while, your complexion is too bad, Mr. Holmes, you can't ruin your health because of the case." Jenny complained a few words, remembering that she was going to send Sherlock "I was going to send you a letter just now. The atmosphere in London is terrible, everyone is very nervous, oh my god, I also want to go abroad for a while, and I don't know when I will finish it." .”

Sherlock curled his lips when he heard that. He put down his fork and took a sip of water from the cup, and said, "You mean Jack the Ripper? Scotland Yard is in big trouble this time." He gloated and said, "Serial murderer, Oh, why are these cases brought together? How good would it be if they were separated... Could it be..." He pondered.

Jenny had to interrupt Sherlock's contemplation: "What are you trying to say? Don't tell me that Jack the Ripper is also related to Moriarty."

Sherlock's eyes widened, and he slapped himself on the forehead fiercely, "So that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it..." He stood up and began to circle around.

Jenny was simply confused by him.

Sherlock said quickly: "I don't think this murderer will pose a threat. I read yesterday's newspaper and they have caught the guy named Aaron Kosminski. I think he is the real murderer." , but the problem is that there is no definite evidence, so the police can only list him as having mental problems and put him in a mental hospital. In the hearts of London citizens, the case is still unsolved, and the prisoner is still not caught... This is What that person really wants." Sherlock clapped his hands, as if he had figured out something, but he immediately fell into thinking again, "But what is his purpose for doing this?"

Jenny felt that she understood a little bit. Generally speaking, this horrible case was deliberately arranged by someone to cause panic among the citizens of London, and then the mastermind behind the scenes could take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters for another bigger goal .

Jenny: "No matter what he wants to do, we can only wait now, he will always show his feet."

Hearing this, Sherlock paused, regained his composure, and sat down at the table again to start eating. "You're right, Mrs. Hudson."

The two talked again.Jenny didn't say anything about the letters and gifts they sent, and Sherlock didn't say anything about keeping their conversations private.But after eating, Sherlock took out his watch and looked at it. He felt that there was still some time, so he ran back to his room to sleep.And when Jenny came up to ask Sherlock for dinner a few hours later, she found that he had disappeared.After Jenny came downstairs with an empty plate, she specially made a few sandwiches and put them on the table in the living room on the second floor, and now they have disappeared together... Kudos to myself for her wit.

John didn't know that Sherlock had returned, and Jenny didn't plan to tell John about it after she found out that Sherlock had disappeared.But John knew about it the next day, because both Lestrade and Bruce Willie sent word that they would come for lunch at noon tomorrow.

"Actually... Mr. Holmes came back for a while yesterday," Jenny told John.

"What? Why didn't you say it last night?" John was shocked.

"Because Mr. Holmes doesn't seem to want people to know." Jenny said apologetically.

John: "..." Okay.

John silently decided to come back early at noon.He put on his hat and was about to go out, but Jenny called him: "Doctor Watson... Please, be careful on the road." Her expression was too subtle, which made John understand that Sherlock's sudden return to England was not to visit relatives (?), he He patted his pocket knowingly, and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Hudson, I'm always vigilant."
