Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

In the end, the old Mrs. Holmes asked calmly, "Sherlock, please tell me honestly, you didn't force Kelsey to do anything, did you?"

"What are you doing?"

Sherlock wondered how he could force Kelsey to do it, which had never happened in the past and would never happen in the future. "Mother, can you please clarify?"

"Aha, you told me to say it straight, please don't blame me for offending you."

The old Mrs. Holmes went straight to the point, "May I ask what my dear Kelsey's real gender is? Sherlock, did you instigate Kelsey to dress up as a woman in order to hide that you fell in love with a man?"

The atmosphere froze for an instant.

Sherlock opened his eyes wide, never expecting his mother's thinking to jump like this. "How could you have such absurd, sorry, such peculiar speculations?"

The old Mrs. Holmes justified, "The whole world knows that Bennet, the famous detective and investor, is a young and promising man.

Of course, I won't copy what others say, but I also know how dangerous the case you handle is.Generally, men will not participate, not to mention that women will never love extreme adventures, and it is impossible to deliberately choose to enjoy an exciting life. "

Besides, detectives were capable of some fantastic disguises, and old Mrs. Holmes had good reason to be suspicious.

"Please don't make strange reasoning. You also said that it is a general situation, but my Jerry is not among them."

Sherlock said firmly, "I believe you know how special your son is. How many Sherlock Holmes are there in the world? Why can't I meet an extraordinary lover? You are completely overwhelmed."

Having said that, Sherlock wondered what image he had in his mother's heart?

Old Mrs. Holmes was skeptical, facing Sherlock's self-doubting expression, she said frankly: "Please believe that both of you brothers are normal in my eyes. You have always been asexual."

As early as more than ten years ago, before old Holmes died of serious illness, old Mrs. Holmes had this kind of awareness.

She has almost zero requirements for her sons to choose a spouse. Neither of the brothers would be foolish to choose a very unreliable partner, but the only thing to worry about is that they will die alone.

Later, I only hope that the two brothers can have one or two friends who can talk to each other.

The old Mrs. Holmes didn't expect her son to get married, but she didn't expect Sherlock to surprise her, so even if she had doubts, it was just a small entanglement.

"Sherlock, don't worry. Cupid worked tirelessly to overcome all difficulties and successfully hit you with the arrow of the god of love. I will accept your lover regardless of gender."

Old Mrs. Holmes swore, and she confirmed one last time, "So, you're really not gay?"

"Yes, we are heterosexual. Mother, I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing. You have to believe that your son is very honest and has completely inherited your good qualities."

Sherlock said it swearingly, as for his entanglement in the past, he thought he might step on the edge of a dangerous homosexual relationship, and he would not tell his mother a word of these things.Otherwise, God can't guarantee that the old Mrs. Holmes will make up some magical plots.

Old Mrs. Holmes secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Kelsey is a girl.

It's not that she discriminates, it's that the society is too strict on same-sex dating, and if she is found out, she may be sent to prison.Relatively speaking, it is no longer illegal for a woman to dress up as a man.

In addition, she didn't have to think about whether Sherlock should be 'under others', which was beyond the scope of knowledge.

The mother and son ended their conversation in a pleasant atmosphere.

Turning around, Sherlock knocked on Kelsey's door.

Needless to ask, Sherlock also knew that Kelsey must have felt the strange entanglement of old Mrs. Holmes.

Some things should be clarified immediately to avoid unnecessary speculation, and to avoid confusion and disharmony in family relationships.

After some succinct statements, Sherlock stated that all misunderstandings had been resolved.

Still, Kelsey could hear a hint of old Mrs. Holmes' uncertainty.

"I understand."

Kelsey said that she can prove with her actions that she will change to a skirt tomorrow, which is no longer a stand-up collar. She also has skirts with V-neck or square-neck necklines in her suitcase.

Old Mrs. Holmes had sneaked a peek at her today, so it should be suspected that she is a male with an obvious Adam's apple.

Kelsey made a suggestion, "Although the Adam's apple is not an absolute criterion for judging gender, in general, the Adam's apple is not obvious in women. Seeing is believing, and your mother will dispel the last doubts by seeing it with her own eyes."

"good idea."

As Sherlock spoke, his eyes fell on Kelsey's collar.

In fact, he has always been curious about how Kelsey's fake Adam's apple works. He only happened to catch a glimpse of the half-covered fake Adam's apple in the process of handling the case.

"Jerry, I have a quick question."

Sherlock said seriously, "Now, are you still wearing a fake Adam's apple? Can you show me the pinnacle of camouflage?"

Kelsey raised her eyebrows and teased, "I want to unbutton my collar, Tom, have you thought about it for a long time?"

That sounds ambiguous.

Sherlock is very innocent and helpless, and some truth-telling may not be believed.

In the past, he really just wanted to find evidence that Kelsey disguised herself as a man, and had no other in-depth ideas.

Kelsey appreciated Sherlock's grievance and could not speak, and then said slowly, "Yes, I still have a fake Adam's apple."

This is due to the habit of the past few years. To remove makeup, a special lotion is required. For the convenience of men's clothing at any time, she does not easily remove the false Adam's apple.

At the moment, Kelsey smiled and asked, "Tom, since you want to study camouflage technology, do you want to try it yourself?"

"Let me unload it?"

Sherlock got Kelsey's permission, and the little emotions just now were swept away, and he immediately got ready with great interest.

A pot of clear water, a small towel, and a special makeup remover are arranged on the coffee table.

The two sat sideways on the sofa, assuming an academic experiment.

Sherlock unbuttoned Kelsey's collar and saw the fake Adam's apple.

It is almost integrated with the skin through makeup, but if you look closely, you can still see a trace of camouflage.

Then I applied the lotion and waited patiently for 1 minute, then peeled off the fake Adam's apple from the skin and put it in a small box on the coffee table.

Immediately, Sherlock wet the towel and gently wiped Kelsey's neck to remove all traces of camouflage and residual potions.

During the whole process, Kelsey smiled, admiring Sherlock's meticulous appearance.

Her Mr. Holmes has slender fingers, and his gray eyes are full of concentration. The more he looks at it, the more impulsive he feels.

Putting down the towel, Sherlock didn't notice Kelsey's hidden eyes for a moment, and his attention was first attracted by the fake Adam's apple in the box.He poked it curiously, "Is this some kind of organosilicon compound?"

"Correct."

Kelsey also pretended to be seriously discussing camouflage, detailing how to make it and the materials needed, etc.

"That's the power of technological development."

Sherlock couldn't help admiring, but failed to continue to focus on future technological developments.

The two tacitly did not mention the future of another time and space.

Time and space are different, and the course of the world has long since changed.The future here begins with everyone's feet, stay in awe, don't forget to explore and forge ahead, and live down-to-earth.

Here and now, the future and development are too far away from the two of them.

Sherlock finally removed Kelsey's disguise as a man with his own hands, but at the same time, he felt an unreal feeling.The man in front of him, his dear Jerry, had a soul from another time and place.How lucky they are to know each other.

The air suddenly quieted down.

The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other quietly.

Kelsey suddenly smiled and leaned forward, "What's wrong? Do you think my existence is not real enough?"

"You always know what I'm thinking."

Sherlock didn't deny it. Facing Kelsey who was close at hand, his eyes were burning, "So, I think it is necessary to confirm the existence of each other."

The house is quiet.

The two breathed and smelled each other, and they could clearly hear their own heartbeat speeding up again.

I saw the lights flickering.

The next moment, two figures hugging each other were projected on the sofa wall, and they gave each other a lingering kiss.

August [-], London, sunny in the morning.

The doves of peace strolled leisurely in the open space outside the church, and seemed to be able to feel the happiness and joy of the newcomers in the church.

Listen, new people are swearing to each other.

Listen, the couple exchanged rings.

Listen, the priest is saying the blessing.

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I declare that you are officially married. God has blessed you, and no one can separate you. Amen—"

As the priest's blessing came down, there was another pair of newlyweds in the world who were in love with each other.

Old Mrs. Holmes secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.No wonder she is full of emotions, it is really not easy, Sherlock finally has his own family.

Then there's only one left.She couldn't help but look at Mycroft beside her, would anyone want the eldest son?

Mycroft clapped his hands as quietly as possible, pretending not to know what his mother was thinking.

Please don't look at him with such pity.He and the cakes, chocolates, and candies have been getting along happily and living a happy life, so don't worry about it.

"Papa--" "Papa--"

Another person is also applauding.

It was Watson, who was clapping stiffly, but gave a sincere smile of blessing.

The body is stiff, really stiff.

Three days before, Watson had been informed of the wedding invitation by two detectives face to face.

'Bang bang bang! '

This news was like a big hammer, hitting directly on the top of Watson's head.

Watson heard the sound of broken views coming from his mind.

Even if Kelsey sincerely stated that she is a woman disguised as a man, it is really difficult to be convincing.

There is a saying that is good, the camouflage is too perfect, so that others can't tell what is real and what is fake.

Not to mention that Watson was only given three days to accept the facts, even after another 30 years, he may not be able to put together the fragmented three views.

But from the heartfelt blessing, but also really from the heart.

Although Watson's mind was in confusion, he agreed with extraordinary clarity that the two detectives were a perfect match.Whoever said that the two are not suitable, they must see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible, and they don't know if there is still a cure.

So confused and sober, Watson came to the church to observe the service.

The church is so big, and the scene is so empty.

The priest left the venue with a smile, leaving only five people in the auditorium.

Watson looked to the left, and saw the Sherlock Holmes who let him experience the wonders of the world; then looked to the right, and saw the other two Holmes.

Intellectually, he fully understands and agrees with the secret marriage of the two detectives, and he should have been honored to be the only witness of the wedding that is not from the Sherlock Holmes family.

What an exciting camaraderie!What a delightful trust!

At this moment, Watson suddenly felt emotional, yes, he should have understood the day he entered 221B.

——In the end, he had to fight everything alone.
