[Comprehensive British and American] Those years when I opened a dessert shop on Baker Street

"..."

Lestrade stood outside the door in a daze, looking from Winsty to Sherlock, and finally his eyes stopped on the two bowls of noodles on the table.

"Good morning, Detective Inspector Lestrade." Winsty knew that if she didn't welcome Lestrade in again, her face would be pissed.

Seeing that Lestrade's eyes were on the noodles, Winsty thought that it was breakfast time, and Lestrade might not have had breakfast, so he asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

She didn't finish all the noodles, so she could make another bowl of noodles.

Sherlock replied for Lestrade: "He ate it. He ate a toast with cream sandwich. He ate it in a hurry, so the cuffs of his clothes and the corners of his mouth were covered with butter and toast crumbs. Let's talk about the case last night." What happened unexpectedly?"

As Sherlock spoke, he made quotation marks with both hands, and typed on the word "unexpected situation". He believed that all unexpected situations had a reason, and the so-called unexpected situation was just an excuse for the goldfish.

"Hmm... can you watch TV at home?" Lestrade asked.

After all, the refrigerator can be used to hold human heads, and there may be something else hidden in the TV.

Wensty walked over to turn on the TV, and at the same time, there was a sound of "thud, thump, thud" footsteps, and Mrs. Hudson rushed up and shouted into the room: "Sherlock, turn on the TV to watch London morning." smell!"

The TV happened to be on the London Morning News channel.

Mrs. Hudson came in, watched the news with them, and sighed: "It's really appalling!"

"Shock!A well-known drama actress died for no reason, but it was a ghost! "——The London Morning News column typed this sentence as the headline of the news.

Lestrade's expression was quite complicated, intertwined with doubts, surprise and distress.He originally thought that the case of last night could be solved satisfactorily by calling out the surveillance video, but he was shocked when he saw the surveillance video.

The surveillance video in the theater is being broadcast in the news: Elizabeth Lancelot walked into the dressing room, she was normal at first, she was peeling an apple while reading the script, no matter how you look at it, it is a picture of an actor’s dedication to prepare for the performance, But suddenly the picture developed in a weird direction. Elizabeth seemed to have seen something strange, and started running around in the dressing room, as if avoiding tracking, and grabbed the fruit knife she had just peeled the apple for defense. It was obvious that someone was fighting with her. Competing for the fruit knife, the man finally grabbed her hand and stabbed her abdomen with the fruit knife.

But there is no other person in the picture from the beginning to the end.

Mrs. Hudson covered her face as she watched the final scene, thinking she was going to have nightmares at night.

Lestrade: "There has been a lot of noise about this incident, and many people are saying that it is the ghost who killed him."

Sherlock: "Funny! You should check her for a history of mental illness or substance abuse."

Sherlock doesn't believe in ghost homicide cases. He knows a lot about anecdotes, and all ghost homicides point to artificial intelligence in the end.

"We've investigated, and she's been living a very healthy life with no bad habits at all," Lestrade said. If it can be proved that Elizabeth Lancenot has mental problems or hallucinations from drug abuse, he will not use it. Looking for Sherlock, "Did you know that Macbeth's play has always been called a cursed play?"

Sherlock looked at Lestrade with a raised eyebrow.

"It's said that the witch put a curse on the show, and weird things happen all the time when it's in the show."

Lestrade said that the play had always been so wicked that during its first production one of the actors in the play died of a serious illness, and Shakespeare had to play it himself.

At the 1672 performance in Amsterdam, the fake dagger that Macbeth used to kill Duncan was somehow replaced with a real one, and the actor who played Macbeth killed the actor who played Duncan in full view of the audience.

Also, President Lincoln of the United States read the passage of Macbeth's assassination of Duncan to his friends at a party, and he himself was assassinated to death a few days later.

In another performance, several people including the stage designer and costume designer committed suicide together.

……

"You're sucking noodles too loudly!" Sherlock has been eating noodles while Lestrade gives the example that Macbeth is really a cursed play.

Sherlock raised his head: "I really didn't expect you to have such a deep study of drama."

Although Shakespeare's plays are the treasures of English literature, to understand the bizarre story behind a play so deeply is either a senior theater fan or a fan of anecdotes.

Lestrade was clearly neither.

Lestrade explained: "I heard from Emily that she loves theatre."

Emily is Scotland Yard's favorite theatre-watching police officer, and she can talk about theatre. Lestrade originally thought she would also go to see "Macbeth" by the Morrison Theater Company, which was the [-]th anniversary special, but Unexpectedly, instead of going to the show, Emily offered to work overtime.

"I broke up with my boyfriend, and I'm not in the mood for anything." Lestrade recalled Emily's disheartened look when she said this.

But some things are predestined, even if she voluntarily avoids the theater, she still has to come to the theater because of the murder.

"It's horrific!" Mrs. Hudson seemed fully convinced that Macbeth was a cursed play, that Elizabeth Lancenot had been killed by a ghost.

Wensty walked up to Mrs. Hudson, hugged her to comfort her, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's impossible to be killed by ghosts."

Naturally, Sherlock didn't need to say much, and Lestrade didn't believe what the ghost said, but the surveillance video was too weird, and he couldn't express his opinion firmly and accurately like Winsty.

Did Winsty see something?

Lestrade: "Why are you so sure it's not the ghost claiming death?"

"Because the ghost is completely a soul body, it has no physical body, can't touch the human body, and can't touch any physical objects, and ghosts generally don't ask people for their lives, and they hope to get a body that can be attached to, so the ghost claims Fate is pure fiction."

"..."

Anyone who heard what Wensty said thought she was making up nonsense, but she looked serious, and her words revealed an unquestionable taste, she really looked like an authority in this area.

Lestrade really didn't expect that Winsty would actually explain that ghosts could not take their lives from the perspective of ghost teleology, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

"Sherlock, what do you think?" Lestrade threw the question to Sherlock.

Sherlock had finished his bowl of noodles.

"I think what she said makes a lot of sense," Sherlock said, "The angle of the ghost's desire to attach itself to a person's body is more convincing than its killing. Does this motive seem credible?" Less, but..."

"But what?"

"Thank you, Winsty, for telling us a story, but you should read less messy things in the future and use your brain to store more useful knowledge." Sherlock said.

Wensty was not happy after hearing his words. What is called "messy things", this is the result of her experience summed up after dealing with ghosts so many times. For an exorcist, there is no more This is more useful knowledge.

Hmph, next time I won't have your share of noodles!

Sherlock felt that he was just telling the truth. Human brain capacity is limited. With so much useless knowledge in her mind, of course the space for useful knowledge would be squeezed. He gave advice, Wen Why is Steve staring at him?

Lestrade stood in front of Sherlock, blocking Winsty's gaze from staring at him: "Then what can you do?"

"Since the exact location of the murder is in the dressing room of the theater, I have to go to the scene to make a judgment." Sherlock said, before arriving at the scene in person, everything is just inference.

Sherlock grabbed the coat on the hanger and watched as Wensty sat back at the table to eat noodles in silence.

Lestrade had already stepped out of the door. Seeing that Sherlock hadn't gone out for a long time, he asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Sherlock's eyes kept falling on Wensty, who was eating noodles at a leisurely pace, but the other party didn't even give him a look.

Mrs. Hudson poked Winsty: "Sherlock has been watching you."

Of course Wensty knew, but she still pretended not to know and looked at Sherlock: "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you coming with me?" Sherlock frowned.

He just said yesterday that she is his assistant, and the assistant should be by his side.

"I'm sorry, sir," said Winsty pitifully, "There are always a few days a month when a girl doesn't want to run around."

Mrs. Hudson understood, but she saw that Sherlock was still staring at Winsty, and she thought to herself why Sherlock was so ignorant of pity, so she pushed him to go out, and said, "You don't know how women behave these days?" What a sad day."

Then he closed the door behind him.

Lestrade noticed that Sherlock was sullen when he went downstairs. He stood in the position of a person who had experienced it and told Sherlock: "Girls always have weird tempers these days, and they tend to feel tired easily. You should pay more attention to her." a little."

Although he is not as good as Sherlock in solving cases, Lestrade thinks that he can definitely be called Sherlock's teacher in this respect. The teacher is teaching the class seriously, but the student doesn't seem to pay much attention to the class.

Wensty stirred the noodles in the bowl with her chopsticks. For some reason, she lost her appetite. She suddenly felt that she shouldn't be angry with Sherlock. He is not a witcher and has never dealt with ghosts. It is normal not to believe what she said. .

Mrs. Hudson sat on Sherlock's seat, and said to her expectantly, "Winsty, can you teach me how to make pork floss Beckham?"

"Ok?"

How did Mrs. Hudson think of learning to do this?

Mrs. Hudson smiled: "I want to make it for Mr. Wester, we are dating recently."

"Of course there is no problem." Winsty readily agreed.

All day long, Wensty taught Mrs. Hudson how to make meat floss oysters. Mrs. Hudson was not a novice in baking, but the floss oysters she made always lacked something, and finally made a good one in the evening. A delicious meat floss shellfish.

"Thank you." Mrs. Hudson was overjoyed, and wanted to let Mr. Wester taste the dessert she had just made.

Sherlock didn't come back all day.

The dark clouds in the sky became more and more dense, and there was a heavy rain that was about to fall at night. Wensty remembered that Sherlock didn't bring an umbrella when he went out this morning, so he took a big black umbrella and went out, and the wind began to blow violently .

The author has something to say: there really is a saying that "Macbeth" is cursed, and all the things that happened during the performance of this play are also recorded and reported in the article.

This volume may be longer, because all the important characters will be published in this volume.
