"Athena! This soup is so fragrant. It tastes spicy in your throat, but it's really delicious." Watson, who had slept for almost a day, hadn't eaten lunch, and now he just gnawed on a chicken in a hurry. The wings ate and praised.

And as for Sherlock... After almost all the dishes were on the table, he ran out as if he had smelled it, without asking Athena how she made this delicious dish, or asking Axi When did Na learn this skill of cooking, just pick up a ready-made and eat happily!

Athena put a small dish of soy sauce mixed with some chopped fresh chilies on the dining table. Sherlock took a look and almost knew nothing about it. He forked a small piece of chicken and dipped it in the sauce.

The first bite is a blend of spicy and salty, and the white teeth bite a bite of the elastic and tender chicken, and there is a umami taste of the chicken soup itself with mushrooms.

Although table manners are indispensable, he continued to eat before he even had time to wipe off the fine sweat on his forehead.

Lestrade was still a little stunned by the surprise of the whole fish. He had never seen a restaurant serve a whole fish, which was incredible. He didn't even know what to do or where to start.

It was Athena who picked up a fork and picked a piece of fish from the belly of the fish and put it on his dinner plate. Lestrade looked at Athena tentatively, and he just put it into his mouth after getting his affirmation.The tender meat, the slightly spicy soup, and the umami taste of fish are really amazing.This is even more delicious than the fish made by the Duke's family. It does not have the fishy smell and retains the original taste of the fish.

"This fish... this fish..." Lestrade shook his head and didn't know how to describe it, but Athena said, "Fresh? Right?"

Lestrade nodded hastily after hearing this, and she couldn't help but find it really funny to be stunned.

Mrs. Hudson at the side sipped the still hot pepper pork belly soup. She only had half a bowl and felt warm in her stomach. This pepper really deserves what Athena said is good for keeping out the cold. Ingredients.

Mrs. Hudson looked at Athena with satisfaction and said, "I really can't believe that a lady like you has such good cooking skills, and this is a fresh dish that I have never eaten before!"

"This is also one of my talents, just like painting!" Athena looked at Sherlock sitting in the distance and smiled very proudly.

Sherlock just rolled his eyes, and said coldly: "Areyou? Speaking of painting... What kind of job did Mycroft find for you? Why did you want me to go with you?"

"To be precise, he wants you...to be my servant! Help me carry paint boxes and other miscellaneous things, it's not just as simple as going together!" Athena picked up the purple cabbage in the salad bowl, deliberately disgusting Like Sherlock, he jokingly said: "This month's NO.15, don't forget! Mycroft will come to pick us up, if you don't go...his funding will be withdrawn too!"

Speaking of which, Athena turned her head and looked at Mrs. Hudson again, and said, "Don't forget to help Sherlock find a pair of tweed clothes. Mycroft said that the old ones are the best!"

After she finished speaking, she got up directly and walked out of the restaurant with Giovanni in her arms.Lestrade looked at her leaving figure as if he had received a signal, picked up the napkin and wiped the soup stains from the corner of his mouth, got up and said slightly: "Excuse me, everyone, I'm going to the bathroom."

Lestrade smiled and got up and walked out perfunctorily. He knew where Athena must be waiting for him now. As expected, he saw Athena standing on the second-floor platform as soon as he stepped out of the living room door. Lestrade hurried Go downstairs and follow her to the bedroom quietly.

At this moment, Sherlock in the dining room had already noticed the strange behavior of the two of them. He looked up at Mrs. Hudson slightly and asked, "Inspector Lestrade...has he been here a lot lately?"

"You said that..." Mrs. Hudson was slightly stunned and said again: "Really! He has come here every day for the case and the little Corgi. Why? You don't even welcome Mr. Detective ?He is a gentleman, and the most decent of your friends is Mr. Inspector!"

Sherlock sighed softly and said with emotion: "It's not that I don't welcome him. Although Lestrade has come here frequently recently, after a while, when some people lose their freshness...he will always be disappointed and sad." One. I'm afraid that he won't come to the door again after being frustrated, and he may think twice before even asking me to investigate the case, so wouldn't my life be too boring?"

"Some people... Who are you referring to?" Watson raised his head in a daze. Maybe he was so absorbed in drinking the soup that he didn't notice that the beard on his lips was stained with oil.Sherlock looked at him, shook his head in disgust but didn't remind him, instead he said: "It's nothing!"

The "certain people" Sherlock mentioned are now nervous, lest they attract the attention of everyone upstairs, she put down Giovanni in her arms, closed the door and asked quickly: "How is it? Did you find Professor Moriarty?" Yet?"

Lestrade looked at Athena hesitantly, and said lightly: "I found out, but he is not a professor! And, and he..."

"What's wrong with him?" Athena asked impatiently, and saw Lestrade opened his suit jacket, took out a neatly folded newspaper from his inner pocket, and handed it over.

"What is this?" Athena asked, but she took the newspaper with both hands.

She slowly opened the newspaper folded into the size of a notebook. The yellowed newspaper was obviously not a new one recently, and the printing time at the top also confirmed Athena's guess that it was a newspaper ten years ago.

What had Moriarty got to do with the big headlines in the newspapers about a car accident caused by a common landslide on an estate somewhere in Hertfordshire?

"What do you want me to see?" Athena asked, looking up in confusion.

Lestrade leaned closer, pointed to an obituary under the headline of the newspaper, and said, "Look here, Colonel James Moriarty. He died in the landslide accident caused by the heavy rain. His carriage was hit by a rock and knocked down the hill. I'm afraid the James Moriarty you're looking for...is dead!"

"Dead? How is this possible?" Athena blurted out almost in surprise.

The lifelong enemy of Sherlock Holmes, the biggest villain in "The Cases of Sherlock Holmes", this Moriarty who stands in opposition to Sherlock but has achieved the title of Sherlock's detective...how could he die before he even appeared on the stage?How can this be?

Athena looked at the newspaper in front of her in disbelief, and muttered to herself, "James Moriarty... died ten years ago?"

"I'm afraid that's the case!" Lestrade pursed his lips. "I have never understood why you are so sure that James Moriarty is the instigator behind Catherine's death? The facts also show that... it must not be This man, he has been dead for many years! A dead man can't do all this!"

"Could you have made a mistake? He shouldn't be a colonel but a professor! You must have made a mistake!" Athena looked up at him, but Lestrade just shook his head and said, "Everyone in London The university doesn't have a professor with the surname Moriarty, James Moriarty only has such a real one. Of course! If you insist, I will check it out for you again. But Athena, I still have to say you I'm afraid I really found the wrong person!"

Lestrade lowered his head slightly, and asked doubtfully, "What is your relationship with this Moriarty? Or is there any festival? How do you determine that he is the one behind the scenes?"

"I..." Athena raised her head slightly.

Every righteous hero needs an equal villain, and Moriarty is the one Sherlock made for him.This is well known and of course obviously not true to the people of this world.

But... I can't tell him that's what was written in "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes"!That's how Conan Doyle made it up!

Athena was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to say when she suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.She just grabbed the life-saving rope and walked out, forcefully avoiding this topic.

"I'm going to marry Inspector Lestrade! I'm going to marry him! I've come to him to marry him!"

The yelling downstairs was a fourteen or five-year-old girl, who spoke inaccurate English but expressed her purpose very clearly. The servants on the first floor were still arguing with her, and everyone upstairs was also attracted. .

Mrs. Hudson was very surprised: "Inspector Lestrade, what good things have you done?"

Athena also looked at Lestrade and said, "No way! You're going to kill fourteen and five-year-old girls, you're so daring! It's against the law to mutilate minors! You're too unreliable." ! There's nothing wrong with liking young girls, but you're too..."

Lestrade looked at Athena with a livid face, and said sarcastically: "How dare you look at me like that? I don't have the habit of teasing others at will!" He hurried downstairs and looked at the little girl downstairs. .

"Melina! I told you that you are saved and you can go back to Greece. If you don't have money, I will pay you to send you back. I won't marry you, because I already have a marriage contract and... have sweetheart!"

The little girl downstairs cried bitterly in the face of the blunt rejection.But the people upstairs were not much better, no one knew that Lestrade had already got a marriage contract!

Melina suddenly collapsed on the ground, crying: "I beg you, Mr. Inspector, I can't go back! I was sold to those British by my father. If I go back, I will only be bought by him again, and in the end I ended up going to a brothel. I beg you! Even if you let me stay as your mistress or servant, I am willing, you are an honest gentleman, please help me!"

Lestrade knelt down helplessly. He was not unsympathetic to Melina, but it was too much for him to support an extra maid with his inspector's salary. Besides, he was not in a position to entangle with women at will. , which will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Get up first!" Athena walked down, looking at Lestrade apologetically. No wonder he got so angry just now. It turned out that this Melina was the girl he and the Greek translator rescued that day.

Lestrade didn't look at her either, obviously angry.

"Stay here and be my maid! I'm missing one!" Athena looked at Melina and smiled slightly.

Catherine's position must always be replaced. Although a Greek girl like Melina who knows nothing is obviously not a good choice, doing so can save the girl's future and save her from pestering Lestrade again.

Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?

Lestrade looked at her in surprise, but didn't say anything after all.He just picked up his hat and coat hanging by the door, and said sullenly, "Whatever you want, I'll go first!"

However, Athena quickly stepped forward to block the door frame, licking her dry lips with the tip of her tongue and whispering, "Are you really engaged?"

"Yes! Miss Holmes!" He replied simply, put on his hat, avoided Athena, and went out without looking back.

Athena leaned against the door and raised her eyebrows and said, "So what! I fell in love with you first!"
