Qiao Qiao saw Mr. Bingley again after five years, and found that he had really changed very little, not only in appearance, but also in temperament.

This is not a good phenomenon. If a man is married and has children, if he is still as innocent as before marriage, he has no opinions.So it's not good news for his family.

"Lydia, you have changed a lot, uh, I mean you are very beautiful now." Mr. Bingley was very uncomfortable in front of Jojo, he felt that this sister-in-law put more pressure on him than those big nobles he saw in London Still big.

In addition, he had a guilty conscience, and he was even more uncomfortable in front of Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows, knowing that it was better to be guilty than to take it for granted to find a mistress.

"Mr. Bingley, I have always felt that you are a real gentleman, just like my father, who is responsible for the family and the family. We sisters have always envied Jane."

The expression on Mr. Bingley's face became even more guilty as soon as Jojo's words came out.

"Jane chose you because she liked you. And she still loves you now, what about you, Mr. Bingley, do you still love Jane?"

"Of course I love Jane!" said Bingley hastily.

"That's good, you still love each other, and you still have to go on together in the future, brother-in-law, please don't hurt the one you love again."

"I promise."

Although Jojo didn't believe in the man's promise at all, but now she had to act as if she believed in Mr. Bingley.

"Mr. Bingley, if one day you really don't want Jane anymore, please don't tell her, write to me, and I will take her home."

"no, I can not."

Bingley's face was pale, and the guilt and shame in his heart made him dare not speak loudly, only murmured.

"I believe in you, brother-in-law, for the last time."

After Jojo finished speaking, she turned and walked towards Bennett's house. She knew that these words might only be of temporary effect, but what should be said still had to be said.

In the end, Jane took the child and Bingley back. Even if Mrs. Bennet was dissatisfied with Bingley, she did not stop him from taking Jane away.

The day after Jane left, Jojo also returned to London.

"Serial murderer?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the two men sitting on the sofa in her house. Murders happened every day in London. Even if it was a serial murder case, these two men shouldn't have come to the door in such a hurry.

"The victim and I have something in common?" Qiao Qiao understood.

"Ha, Mycroft, let me tell you that she will be able to guess it. In the past month, a total of five women were killed in London. They all have one thing in common: they live alone, they are beautiful, they are rich, and they have countless suitors." Sherlock stood up and stood in the living room. go back and forth.

"A suitor? I don't have a suitor." She fits the first three points, but she doesn't fit the latter point.

Sherlock took a meaningful look at Mycroft who was sitting on the sofa.

"It doesn't have to be completely consistent. The more people you kill, the crazier you will be. No one can understand the thoughts of a perverted serial killer." Mycroft's tone was calm and his expression was indifferent.

Qiao Qiao agrees with this statement. If a pervert is so easy to understand, he is not a pervert.

"These characteristics you describe... Most of the people killed should be courtesans, courtesans of high society."

Sherlock sat down opposite Jojo, staring at Jojo with a pair of brown-gray eyes.

"Do you have any idea?"

What thoughts could she have? Jojo was speechless. She was not a pervert, nor was she a profiler who studied perverts.But these eyes are really unavoidable.

"I'm just in charge of talking, I don't know if it's right or not." Qiao Qiao said the ugly words first.

"Serial killers have their own set of logic. The motives, patterns, and objects of killing have their own unique meanings to them. The victims in this case are highly similar, so the lady with such an image must be right. The murderer has a special meaning. The person who can have such a great influence is either the mother or the wife. But I think the probability of the mother is a little higher. The shadow of human childhood is the most difficult to eliminate."

"The ladies who were killed were wealthy, and they must have maids around them. If suspicious people appeared beside them, it would be impossible not to attract the attention of them and the maids. So the murderer must not be the kind who would make people think He is a bad guy. He should be personable, generous, handsome and charming, so that these ladies can move their hearts and put down their guard. They can make the servants think that it is normal for him to appear beside these ladies. The murderer will not commit the crime sooner or later, Why did he commit the crime a month ago? What kind of blow did he receive that made him raise the butcher knife."

"...Ahem, that's all, I'm just talking casually, a little bit of criminal psychology."

"Criminal psychology?" Mycroft raised an eyebrow.

Jojo: Hurry up.

"...Anyway, that's all, Sherlock, I believe you will be able to find the murderer. You don't have to worry about me here, I stay at home most of the time, Betty and Lily are here, and you, Mycroft Next door. Take it easy."

Qiao Qiao didn't feel that she was the same as those victims at all, and besides, she was not a woman who would be played around by men with just a few words.The only men who associate with him the most are the two Holmes brothers.Relationships are simple to boring.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, Lydia, if you need it, you can come to me."

"Of course, I won't be polite to Mycroft." Jojo responded seriously.She is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, and she is very at ease with such a neighbor.

"It seems that she didn't notice your thoughts at all. I have to sympathize with you, Mycroft." Sherlock stood in front of the fireplace in McCoff's house, and lit a fire inside.

"I'm not in a hurry. You should have a clue about this case. What she said makes sense." Mycroft lit a pipe for himself.

"Don't you find it strange how she knows these things?"

"There are many secrets about her, but as long as it does not threaten the British Empire, I am not interested in pursuing it." Mycroft is now a little numb.The lady seemed to see that he would not pursue her secret, and she was even more open in his presence.

"She trusts you, Mycroft."

"I know, she trusts you too, Sherlock, you can't fail to see."

"This is also a strange thing. She has even more trust in us than her family." Such unfounded trust made Sherlock a little speechless and also had other strange feelings.

This is probably the reason why she came over and told her about it knowing that she would not be in danger, hoping that she would be more vigilant.

"Then don't betray this trust, Xiali."

Jojo wasn't too nervous about the serial killer, but Betty, who knew about it, was extremely nervous.Now she doesn't let Qiao Qiao do all the things to go out, but she does it by herself.

She was absolutely not allowed to go to the orphanage.

"Betty, you don't have to be so nervous, don't you know my strength?" Betty was taught by her herself.

"That's different, master, what if the other party has a wooden warehouse."

"We can have one too," Qiao Qiao didn't think about getting a wooden warehouse, because she had weapons that were more lethal than the wooden warehouse in her hand.But thinking about it now, she should also have a weapon suitable for use now.

Although the safety factor of the current guns is impressive, and the chamber explodes from time to time, but she can change it, and she can modify the rifling and other parts inside.Anyway, she has a printer, which is very convenient.

For this kind of thing, of course, it is most convenient to ask Mycroft.

Mycroft didn't refuse either. In fact, he was surprised when he heard Jojo's request.He thought she had a wooden barn in her hand.In the impression she gave him, it was normal to have a wooden warehouse.

A day later, Jojo received a wooden revolver.Small in size, suitable for ladies.

The shooting club is not suitable for Jojo. If you want to practice marksmanship, Mayfair Manor is the most suitable place.

Qiao Qiao has keen five senses, shooting is not difficult for her.But after a few shots, she could hit the target accurately.

"It seems that you are very talented in shooting." After correcting Jojo's posture, Mycroft watched her shoot from unfamiliarity to proficiency.

"My five senses are much sharper than ordinary people, so many things are much easier for me."

"Have you modified this wooden warehouse? The accuracy has been improved a lot, and the recoil has been reduced a lot."

"I know I can't hide it from you. For the sake of safety, I don't want to be injured or die because of the explosion of Mu Cangzhi."

Qiao Qiao saw that the practice was almost done, so he took it back.

"Mycroft, take you to see my manor."

Jojo took Mycroft to visit the greenhouse, the dairy farm, and a small workshop.

"This is my condensed milk workshop."

"condensed milk?"

"Milk concentrate products can be stored for a long time. They can calm the nerves, nourish the skin, strengthen bones, improve immunity and so on."

Now that European science has just emerged, people's understanding is still in a half-understand state.

The popular mummy powder in the upper class makes Jojo shudder.She had seen an advertisement posted on the street, saying that mummy powder could cure all diseases.

It's disgusting even if it doesn't scare people to death, okay?

Qiao Qiao decided to make some condensed milk, which is safe to give away.

Originally, she wanted to make honey, but the flowering season was very troublesome.It happened that Sister Dunn said that she couldn't finish the milk, so she thought about making condensed milk.

In fact, many dairy factories have this kind of overcapacity.The buying and selling of fresh milk is a very troublesome thing, and the labor cost is not low.Condensed milk is much more convenient.However, she has no plans to do business. If someone with a discerning eye discovers this, they can cooperate again at that time.

Seeing that McCoff was curious, Qiaoqiao directly opened a bottle, made a cup with warm water, and handed it to him.

"The first batch has been completed, I will give you some to try."

Mycroft took a sip and felt that it was not much different from fresh milk, but such a small bottle can be stored for more than a month.This is much more convenient than fresh milk.Many families can't afford to order daily milk, but spending a little money to buy a bottle every month is a good way to appease children.

"How much does such a bottle cost?"

"Here, it's about sevenpence, and you know it's going to cost more because there's not a lot of it being produced."

"It's a nice invention that will bring you a good income."

"You know that I'm really not interested in setting up a factory and doing business, and it's not suitable for my identity. If someone is interested and agrees to my technology as a shareholder, I think I can cooperate."

"Just like you do in America."

"Just like I did in America."

"That's a pleasure to work with."

"Are you really interested?"

"Of course, I have nothing against the pound."

"It's just that you have been busy with national affairs, so it's hard to imagine you as a businessman."

"Dear Lydia, I don't need to be a businessman. The Holmes family has always served the royal family and is not suitable for doing business in person. But as long as there is power, there will be many people who are willing to serve you."

"I agree with that." She also has a lot of representatives in the United States to handle some troublesome chores.There are magical contracts in which she can put more rights.

Back in London, Jojo didn't send a lot of condensed milk to Longborn, because Longborn has its own farm, and milk is available whenever you want, which is more convenient than her.This kind of stuff is only for big cities.

Of course, she didn't think about letting Longborn's cattle farm join in, because Mr. Bennett was old and didn't have so much experience in business.Secondly, Longbourne will not be theirs anyway.That annoying cousin of Collins, she has no idea of ​​letting him earn money together.

When the original owner eloped, this guy wrote a letter to scold her.Although it was the original owner who eloped, it is a woman's nature to be stingy and hold grudges.

On the contrary, Sherlock sent some over there. The detective has no regular diet and daily life.This kind of convenience is suitable for people like him.

Mycroft acted very quickly. The next day, this man brought a lawyer and a middle-aged man to Qiao Qiao's house.

"This is the contract." Mycroft took the contract from the lawyer and handed it to Jojo.

"Five to five?" She remembered that she only provided technical support.

"Of course, technology is the most important thing."

Qiao Qiao raised his eyebrows. This person is really a real person. Looking at the faces of the lawyer and that gentleman, Qiao Qiao signed his name without pretense.She wouldn't be surprised by such a distribution in modern society.But in this era, technology does not have such a high value.

After all the papers were signed, the lawyer and the gentleman left.

"Maybe we can celebrate with dinner today." Jojo was in a good mood.

"I can't ask for it."

"Today I will cook you an oriental delicacy," Qiao Qiao came to the kitchen, she was going to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the interstellar version.She has all kinds of ingredients, and the Qiankun bag she got from the lame Taoist priest has a very good fresh-keeping effect.Dried and pickled ingredients can be preserved for a long time.

"Betty, you are in charge of the other dishes."

"Yes, Master."

In the living room, Mycroft leaned on the comfortable sofa, and the maid brought delicious desserts and fresh juices.Take another book for recreation.It is rare for McCoff, who feels that his whole body has been sublimated, to be so relaxed and comfortable.

But soon, the smell wafting from the kitchen made him unable to sit still.

Although he was a bit rude, Mycroft came to the kitchen in a very unobtrusive manner.The whole kitchen is very spacious, clean and bright, which makes people feel that the food made here is very healthy and clean.

Qiaoqiao saw a tall figure appearing at the kitchen door, and looked up at him with a smile.

"Isn't this taste overbearing?"

"Very."

Qiao Qiao packed up all the materials and put them into a special stew pot.

"It still needs to be stewed for an hour," Jojo said after washing his hands, and pulled McCaughey into the living room.

"Impatience is not enough to eat delicious food."

To pass the time, Qiao Qiao took out a set of Go. At the beginning, she found a huge two-color warm jade on a planet.Black and white, she has created many things with this warm jade.Go is one of them.

The touch of the top jade is undeniable, and Qiao Qiao can tell that McCoff likes it very much.Tell him about the rules of playing Go.The two began to play chess quietly.

The first round ended quickly, and Qiao Qiao won easily, but in the second round, the two were evenly matched.This is probably too fast to learn.

Her chess strength can't be compared with Yingchun, but she won't be compared by a beginner either.

"A tie." Mycroft looked up at Jojo after falling down.

"Well, I shouldn't compare my brains with Holmes, let's eat and stop playing."

Mycroft looked at Qiao Qiao who was having a temper tantrum, and with a smile on his lips, he left the sofa kindly.

The dish of Buddha jumping over the wall naturally did not disappoint Mycroft. He came from a famous family and his own strength is also strong.Although British food is difficult to describe in one word, he does not eat less food from other European countries.But the impact of this Buddha jumping over the wall still made him a little speechless.

After the meal, Mycroft didn't stay too long, he always had a lot of things to deal with.

After sending McCoff off, Jojo went back to the study, finished his design draft, and sent it to Uncle Gardner.This jewelry set was not easy to make, and I hope it can be done before the social season.
