[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective
Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Good morning, dear Mrs. Hudson.
I think you will be surprised to receive this letter, but I have reasons for doing so - I need your help.There is a document in the left-hand drawer of the cabinet in the living room on the second floor. It is the big brown envelope. I hope you can help me deliver it to the Diogenes Club (address below) to a man named Mycroft Holmes people.I have made an appointment with Mycroft, who will be at the Diogenes every day from a quarter to seven in the afternoon. (attach an invitation card)
Talking is forbidden in the Diogenes Club. After you enter the door, walk through the hall and go out through the side door. The last room on the right hand side is marked "The Stranger". Mycroft is waiting for you there.
I don't think you would mind using men's clothing from your closet, would you?I wouldn't mind lending you a suit, but I don't think you can wear it either.When you go out, please remember to bring your iron cast "little cutie". (Note: Women can't go to the club, so Jenny needs to pretend to be a man.)
Yours, Sherlock Holmes
September [-]th
September [-]th?Wasn't it the day Holmes left?
Jenny didn't know whether she should laugh at Sherlock or praise him: Can't you just say something!
...Wait, what's up with that Mycroft Holmes! ?
Jenny felt that her breathing seemed to be not smooth for a moment, and it seemed that someone suddenly caught fire in her mind.She took a few deep breaths quickly to calm down.
It must not be what she thought.
Jenny thought so, but her face still turned red uncontrollably.
It's absolutely not, it's not what she thinks, it's just that she is the most suitable person to send that damn document.
As if trying to get rid of some inappropriate thoughts, Jenny stood up abruptly and threw the embroidery on her knees into the basket.After doing this, she stood there in a daze for a few seconds, her mind seemed to go blank, and she seemed to be echoing something.For a moment, she didn't know what to do.But she quickly came back to her senses, and was going to go to the second floor to get the damn document, and then go to take out her men's clothes, and then wait until 03:30 to go to that club.
Pretending that she was busy, Jenny walked towards the door, but couldn't help but lifted the corner of her skirt and ran down the stairs briskly like a girl.
Jenny found the document so easily, she didn't open it.Maybe it's here because it's safe to be seen, or maybe it's not a very important document in the first place, but...whatever.Jenny took out a watch from her waist to check the time, and called out the door: "Fantine, when is dinner?"
At 03:30 in the afternoon, Jenny, wearing a gray three-piece suit and holding a black umbrella, came downstairs.Fantine was accustomed to her attire, "Mrs. Hudson, do you want to go out alone?"
"Yes, I'll be back in two hours at most, don't worry." Jenny's appearance was very successful, she changed her voice slightly, and now she looked like a thin, staid middle-aged gentleman.
Out of trust in Jenny, Fantine didn't say anything worried, she only asked a few questions about the dinner.
While sitting in the carriage, Jenny had already abandoned the unexplained excitement in the morning, and was able to think calmly.
That letter from Sherlock hides a lot of information.
First of all, it was this man named Mycroft Holmes. He must have a direct blood relationship with Sherlock Holmes, which made Sherlock trust him so much.In other words, Sherlock could be assured that this document must be very important, or at least very special, only if it was handed over to Mycroft Holmes.
Secondly, Sherlock did not specify a time for Jenny to deliver the documents, but only told her that Mycroft Holmes would be at a fixed place at a fixed time every afternoon.It's hard to guess, maybe it's so that some people can't budget time... So, who would need to know when she travels?And she didn't feel that someone was watching her?
Jenny didn't know much about Sherlock's work, so she couldn't imagine it, so she could only raise her vigilance secretly.Fortunately, along the way, there were no incidents such as blocking the road, hijacking the carriage... and so on. The carriage arrived safely at the place Jenny designated.
In a quiet side street, different men often come in and out through an inconspicuous door, some of them are young, some are middle-aged and some are old, so the short middle-aged man who got off the carriage today The man didn't attract anyone's attention either.He stood at the door, adjusted his collar with clean white gloves, and wore a monocle on his slightly wrinkled face. His expression was serious and rigid.After sorting himself out a bit, he coughed in a low voice, straightened his upper body, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door knocker.
The door was quickly opened, and the well-trained doorman greeted the new face politely.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?" The doorman was respectful and polite, but skillfully blocked Jenny's way in.
The old-fashioned gentleman played by Jenny was not very happy and handed over an invitation card without saying a word. It was originally a very ordinary invitation card, but the doorman saw something, and immediately respected it. Welcoming Jenny in.
Jenny was not surprised that the doorman would act like this. After all, this card was left by Sherlock, so how could it be useless?The doorman kept silent after entering the door, which gave Jenny a feeling of "as expected, really serious".
Under the doorman's gesture instruction, Jenny took off the hat and handed it over, and wrote her name on the guest book: "Hunter Black"...of course a pseudonym.
Walking into the hall, the space is very spacious, and there are seven or eight people sitting in it, but everyone is very far apart.Everyone looked down at the reading materials in their hands, only one person near the door raised his head to look at Jenny, and then quickly lowered his head.
Jenny walked through the hall, as Sherlock said, walked out the side door and turned right to the last room, ah, yes, there was a sign hanging on the door, "Stranger"... It's really simple and clear.
Jenny knocked on the door without hesitation, and a voice came from inside: "Please come in!" It sounded very angry.Jenny pushed open the door, and inside was a small, simple room with only three high-backed chairs and a small table. There was only a small vase with a few flowers in it on the fireplace.
"Please sit down." A tall, burly fat man was standing by the window, looking out. Seeing Jenny coming in, he turned to face her.
Judging from his profile, this man has the same hooked nose as Sherlock, the same black hair, and gray eyes, but other than that, there is almost no resemblance between the two. .Not only is he very different from Sherlock in terms of body shape, but most importantly, he doesn't have Sherlock's sharp eyes... Oh, maybe they are similar in that smart head.His eyes seem gentle, but if you look deeply, you can't see what the other person is thinking at all, but you have a feeling of being seen through.
This is someone Jenny instinctively keeps on guard.
The fat man seemed very satisfied with the vigilance in Jenny's eyes. He waved to her and rang the bell rope in front of the fireplace, "What would you like to drink?"
"Just tea," said Jenny, still in the voice of "Mr. Black."
The fat man looked at Jenny in surprise, and said, "Oh, my God, when Xiali recommended you to me, I really didn't expect you to do this." He came over and stood opposite Jenny, stretched out his hand, "I haven't introduced myself yet, Mycroft Holmes. Sherlock is my brother. Mrs. Hudson, I think he must have told you about me."
"Oh." Jenny recovered her voice, and at the same time reached out to shake her hand: "I thought you should know something about me."
"Of course not." The two sat down at the same time, and Mycroft shrugged his shoulders. He made this movement very stiffly. "I only asked him once when Xiali was renting a house."
"I guess..." Jenny said seemingly casually, "Holmes... oh, I mean, Mr. Sherlock, what is the method he uses? Deduction? Must have been inspired by you a lot?"
"Indeed, but how did you know? I don't think Xiali told you, so I'm really curious." Mycroft was really surprised. How did Jenny know this without being told? little bit.
Can I say it's because the way you looked at me just now is exactly the same as when Fu... Sherlock received the case?Jenny curled the corner of her mouth stiffly. It was really difficult for her to make big facial movements with her current makeup.
Just as she was trying to find a reason to prevaricate, someone knocked on the door and came in. It was a servant who brought tea, and Jenny ended the topic just in time.
"Try this, old Henry is very good at making tea, thank you, Henry." Mycroft recommended.
"Happy to serve you." The servant who brought the tea said, putting down the tea and snacks.
Jenny picked up the tea and took a sip carefully without damaging her makeup. As Mycroft said, the aroma and mellow taste of the tea leaves were fully stimulated, and the tea maker really had a skill.
"This is what Mr. Sherlock asked me to send." Jenny put down the tea cup after a moment of thought, and handed the document she had been holding to Mycroft.
Mycroft took it and opened it, quickly read the pages, and said, "That's it. You have been a great help, Mrs. Hudson. Oh, I don't mean to compliment you, you have been a great help." , we couldn't find the time to get it without being detected or suspected, Xiali even found a random alcoholic who had never been in contact with it to try it out."
"So... what's the result?" Jenny asked kindly.
"We haven't found him yet." Mycroft put the papers back into the bag, and set them aside.
Jenny nodded, no wonder she didn't feel like she was being watched, her feelings were all in her main target was the big detective.
Now that the matter has been settled, Mycroft carefully looked at Jenny's face, feeling very amused, "You can't see any flaws at all, Mrs. Hudson, you are very talented in this area."
"Thank you." Jenny hooked her lips again.
"Actually, I should thank you, Mrs. Hudson, thank you for taking care of Xiali. I know, he is not a good-tempered person, can you imagine? Since he graduated from college, he has changed at least three or four times a year." a landlord."
Jenny can completely imagine it. You can see how he often makes the second floor dirty. Few landlords can bear to turn their house into a physical and chemical laboratory. There may be things that you can't imagine at all in the garbage dump ...
It turned out that they could be witty and talkative if Holmes wanted to, and whichever it was, especially the one in front of him, Mycroft was much smoother than Sherlock.Jenny knew that Mycroft must have obtained a lot of information about her during the chat, but she didn't know anything about it, but... who called him Sherlock's brother?
"So, Mr. Mycroft, what do you do in the government?" Mycroft insisted that Jenny call him by his first name to distinguish him from Sherlock.
"Oh." Mycroft put down his glass, "Actually, I do a little bit of everything, but the place I spend most of my time in is the auditing department."
A little bit of everything... sounds like a handyman... but of course Jenny wouldn't make that mistake.Having said that, I actually know a person with real power (Bruce Willie does not count), and this person may be my relative in the future (the revolution has not yet succeeded), thinking about it is really a little exciting~~
"You seem surprised?" Mycroft misunderstood Jenny's silence.
"It's kind of true," Jenny admitted, "mainly because I didn't expect Mr. Sherlock's brother to be a government official...you know, he usually seems to be a little... uncomfortable with the word government?" Especially with Police related departments.In the past, I just complained about individual policemen, and now I often criticize the police chief. Maybe "Sherlock Holmes" just doesn't fit with "police".
Mycroft felt that it was time to say something good for Sherlock, "Actually, if Xiali is willing, he can do a good job. He has been very smart since he was a child, even though he chose to be a civil servant..."
Probably Jenny's eyes: "What! Are you kidding? Let Sherlock go to work in the government? Do you have a grudge against the Prime Minister or the Queen of England?" The look was too obvious, and Mycroft couldn't help it Laughed out loud.
Although Sherlock acted as if it was some important secret job to deliver the papers, it didn't seem to matter at all to Mycroft.He didn't immediately send the documents away or do other processing, but had a leisurely afternoon tea with Jenny, until finally he made an appointment for some snacks with Jenny.
"I actually like afternoon tea very much. I like sweet treats. They always make me feel relaxed," said Mycroft.
Jenny: ...I can tell from your size...
