[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Mary

Modern au: How did Lao Fu and Mary come to modern times.

When Mary realized that she had time-traveled again and that she had turned back into a little bean in the mirror, she was in a very calm mood.

When she opened her eyes and saw the snow-white ceiling, the modern furniture in pink and pink, and children's toys made of plastic, Mary thought she was dreaming.She wasn't overly frightened when she realized that she was not dreaming. There was no way, she had already experienced a time travel.And after confirming that she had traveled back to the 21st century, Mary secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least she won't have to wear a tunic anymore, and won't be told by her mother to get married all day long!

Her name was still "Mary Bennet"—it was not a special name, and Mary took it well.

And her family background in this life is good.

Because the parents were infertile, they adopted a daughter, but this did not affect their love for Mary.In this life, his father is a businessman and his mother is a university professor, which can be regarded as a double combination of wealth and knowledge.Although it is not a first-class family, London in the 21st century can be regarded as a middle class, enough for Mary to grow up without worrying about food and clothing.

It's a pity that her "original" peaceful mood was broken when she was ten years old.

The father's business grew bigger and bigger. After the company went public, in order to provide a better life for his daughter and wife, Mr. Bennet in this world waved his hand and bought an apartment in a good location in the suburbs of London and moved.

On the second day of moving into the new home, Mrs. Bennet put a beautiful little basket into Mary's hands, filled the basket with biscuits, fruits and other delicate gifts, and took her to visit the neighbors.When the neighbor's wife opened the door, Mary immediately saw the teenager following her mother: black hair, light eyes, and impatience written all over his angular face.

When he saw Mary, he paused slightly.

Then Mary heard Mrs. Bennet say: "Is that Mrs. Holmes? We are the new Bennet family next door."

Oh, Mrs. Holmes.

Oh, this 16-year-old thin guy is the orthodox descendant of the great detective Sherlock Holmes and his wife, the famous writer Mary Bennet more than a hundred years ago. Tradition, also called Sherlock.

Oh, when he saw Mary, he looked up and down carefully at Mary for a moment, his eyes fell on the little basket carried by the little girl, and then raised his eyebrows like his "ancestor": "What a coincidence."

Mary: "..."

Mary was an aggrieved one at the time.

Why should she become someone else's adopted daughter—although the Bennet couple treated her as well as their own daughter, but Sherlock Holmes could become their "orthodox offspring"!

The Bennet family and the Holmes family were surprised by the coincidence of the names of their children, and the two wives also found that they were very close to each other, and soon became friends with each other.

Especially Sherlock Holmes, in the words of Mrs. Holmes: "On weekdays, Sherlock has a very eccentric temper. He has few friends, let alone please girls. He hasn't had a girlfriend since he was fifteen or sixteen years old. My father was very disdainful when he mentioned it. I've never seen him treat any other girl the way he treated Mary."

Mrs. Bennet covered her mouth and kept laughing: "Where did you say that about your son? He graduated from the juvenile class at the age of 16 and is going to college. If my Mary is so upbeat, I will wake up laughing." Mary played with Sherlock, if only she could learn from him, think more and read more."

Mary: "..."

Sherlock didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement: "Do you need me to urge you to study?"

Mary: "..."

In the 21th century, Mary was extremely jealous that men had the right to receive education but she did not, but in the [-]st century, she wanted to start reading from kindergarten again, and Mary wanted to go back to Victoria.

Especially next door to your house, there is a genius called "the reincarnation of the ancestors" who was called "the reincarnation of the ancestors" since he was a child. Really shouldering the responsibility of "helping the little sister next door" in Mrs. Holmes's mouth, when chasing after Mary and urging her to study...

Really, go back to the Victorian era.

Without the advantages brought by modern education, Mary can only make up the gap between herself and Sherlock by the day after tomorrow.As for Sherlock, he probably thinks that life in the 21st century is too dull and beautiful, and he has long felt that life is boring. Finally, he meets Mary again. Cocaine seeks a thrill good.

At any rate, Mary lived two lifetimes, so she wouldn't be reduced to the situation where she needed someone to tutor her elementary school courses.After realizing this, Sherlock became more interested, and he immediately began to increase the difficulty according to Mary's knowledge level.When the teenage version of Sherlock Holmes throws away the elementary school mathematics textbook and comes up with the formula of college mathematics, Mary feels that this cannot go on.

"wait."

Ten-year-old Mary held the textbook with her little hand, and said solemnly: "I don't plan to major in mathematics, and I'm not Moriarty!"

Holmes was expressionless: "What if it is used in criminal investigation? Modern cases are no more than modern cases, and the professional knowledge required to solve a case is more extensive. I have read more than one murder case related to mathematics in criminology books. You If you still want to be a private detective, Miss Mary, you have to work harder."

Mary: "I'm only ten years old now, Mr. Holmes, are you talking about criminal investigation with a ten-year-old lady?"

What is contained in the shell is the soul of an adult, but the skin still belongs to a child.The baby fat on Mary's face hadn't disappeared yet, and the old-fashioned look on her round cheeks was not only unconvincing, but rather cute.

The youth version of Sherlock Holmes lacks the poise and demeanor in Mary's memory, and his youthful air makes his indifference and calmness more arrogant, and it also somewhat resembles that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.After looking at each other for a moment, Holmes withdrew his gaze and said, "Okay."

Mary breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Sherlock Holmes simply threw away all of Mary's elementary school textbooks, and placed in front of Mary the thick and heavy forensic science textbooks filled with notes.

"You're right," Sherlock said earnestly. "You don't know anything about contemporary criminal investigation. It's too early to talk about the case. You should start from the beginning."

Mary: "........."

So ten-year-old Mary Bennet lived a life of being caught by her neighbor's brother to learn the basics of criminal investigation while she was in elementary school.

Of course, complaints are complaints.If it weren't for her own interest in criminal investigation, Mary would not have become a fan of mystery and suspense novels in her first life, and even became a writer of suspense novels in her second life.So Sherlock threw his book to Mary, and Mary read it with gusto.

By the time Mary was 16, just entering high school, Sherlock Holmes had already started applying for a PhD.

In the 21st century, girls' aesthetics have changed a lot.A handsome gentleman is certainly likable, but Sherlock Holmes may not be a "weird".

It'd be fine if he was a nerd who could only learn, but he wasn't.In contemporary times, "smart" itself is another synonym for sexiness. In addition, Sherlock has a thin figure, well-defined features, and likes to wear neat shirts and trousers like in the past.

Mary came from a good family, but it was nothing in a private boarding school.Sometimes the Bennets are really too busy, so they ask Sherlock to pick up Mary home, so they wish that all of Mary's classmates and friends would know that "Mary Bennet has a tall, handsome and very smart elder brother".

In the second week after Sherlock Holmes appeared, Mary was forced to stuff a schoolbag with love letters and notes addressed to him.

At what age do you still write love letters and small notes?Mary complained from the bottom of her heart while destroying the paper. With such ability, everyone thought that she would be able to catch up with her beauty and money. Why didn't she personally investigate Sherlock Holmes' cell phone number?

When the perpetrator himself came to visit, he happened to see Mary throwing the waste paper into the trash can.

"What are you doing?" he asked rather surprised.

"It's nothing."

Mary's face was expressionless: "It's just crushing the young girls' hearts."

Sherlock: "..."

From couples to siblings is okay!Mary gets angry when she thinks that she is being regarded as "the younger sister of the talented handsome guy".

The point is, Sherlock Holmes, who realized what happened, just smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.

He even said in a serious manner: "I don't think there is any need to care about it, Miss Mary. Not to mention anything else, you have excellent grades and a kind personality. Delicate lady. Are there no teenagers of the same age who admire you?"

Mary: "Then I'm dating other teenagers."

Sherlock: "..."

"What I mean is," he said calmly, "Others don't know that you and I have the memories of the previous life, so they will naturally misunderstand. You have never been a person who cares about other people's eyes, why bother yourself?"

"But you are not someone else."

Mary whispered, "Then what do you think?"

Sherlock was silent for a moment, then spoke seriously.

"My idea is," Mr. Holmes explained, "Miss Mary, you were nineteen when we met in Victorian times, and you are not even nineteen now."

……Fine.

Mary suddenly realized the reason why Sherlock insisted on maintaining the relationship of "brother next door and sister next door".

She's not yet a teenager at 16, but Sherlock Holmes is a grown-up! The 15-year-old Lydia can marry early, but in the 21st century, there are minor protection laws.

"Therefore," concluded Holmes, "rather than multiplying my troubles, I think it better to consider something more practical. Mary, for instance."

He smiled: "Now you have the opportunity to realize your dream and enter Cambridge."

Mary: "..."

It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't talk a few words about study in front of her!

The author has something to say: Mary: You won’t fall in love with me in the modern age, have you changed your mind :)?

Old Fu is expressionless: I am afraid of going to jail.

So in the end, Mary didn't go to Cambridge hahahaha, it was on purpose for me【You
