[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Mary

Extra Story: Fragment Killing Grammar.

【Moving and wedding night】

Agreeing to Holmes' proposal, and swearing an oath in front of the church with him, the biggest change in the lives of the two is that one of them has to move.

The rent that Holmes paid Mrs. Hudson was enough to buy 221b Baker Street, and the lease on Serpentine Street still had nine years left-in fact, it didn't matter where she lived, neither Mary nor Holmes was picky about external conditions.However, after comprehensive consideration, Mary felt that it was more realistic to move to Baker Street by herself.

First, she has two younger sisters.The apartment on Serpentine Avenue has only two bedrooms, so Holmes and I can't squeeze the study room together.

Secondly, how lonely would Mrs. Hudson be if even Holmes had moved away?The kind-hearted wife has always regarded Holmes and Dr. Watson as her own children, and Holmes is obviously the troublesome child. Mary thinks that moving there may be able to soothe Mrs. Hudson's heart.

After deciding to move, although moving things is one of the troublesome things before the wedding, Mary didn't have to do it herself.She didn't even pay for it herself, but the landlady in Serpentine Street, hearing that Mary was going to be married, kindly paid for two helpers to do the work—Mary didn't know whether the landlady was being helpful or seeing her off.

In short, there are helpers, and the waifs of the Baker Street squad are busy, so moving is not difficult.

The difficult thing is that after the wedding, the party is over, the guests leave, and relatives and friends say goodbye to Mary. The living room of 221b Baker Street has never accommodated so many people-but they come and go quickly.After leaving their blessings, they left.

The noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and Mary felt a little uncomfortable.

Especially with myself...and Holmes all of a sudden.

and Sherlock Holmes.

She looked up at the window, it was already dark, and the residents across the street turned on the lights one by one; looking around, the living room, which was always full of experimental equipment and other messy things, was rarely cleaned up. , appearing empty.

Mary, who was vaguely aware of something, turned pale at first, and then blushed like an explosion.

There was a slight voice behind him, as if Holmes had put down something: "Do you want to..."

"--what?!"

Mary turned her head abruptly, as if frightened, which she rarely showed.What's more, the face of the newlywed lady who was standing there was almost red to the ears.

And Sherlock Holmes just put the sundries in his hand on the table.

He looked at Mary's bright red cheeks, paused for three seconds, and then walked towards Mary.

Holmes remained silent and looked aggressive, making Mary, who was already nervous, take half a step back.Until Holmes walked in front of her and almost touched the top of her head, Mary closed her eyes subconsciously, and then the big detective stretched out his hand——

He took off the coat from the hanger behind Mary, and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you want something to eat. After a busy day, Mrs. Hudson must have prepared dinner."

Mary: "..."

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

She figured out that Sherlock Holmes had a special liking for this kind of utterly unnecessary extravagance.It seems that he doesn't care about anything, and doesn't take anything to heart, but how can a detective who is careful and observant let go of such details?Holmes knew it all too well, he seldom showed it.

It's not that she must be so nervous, but before she came to Baker Street, Mrs. Bennet held Mary tightly and whispered a lot of content that made people blush.

Although Mary traveled from the 21st century, her ideas are naturally much more open than the ladies and girls at the end of the [-]th century. She really didn't care about her mother's last sex education instructions, but on the morning she agreed to Holmes' marriage proposal, Mary Just got the news that Elizabeth is pregnant.

On the day of the wedding, Lizzie's belly is slightly swollen!

Thinking of the adult-level words her mother had just said, and the sudden burden on Elizabeth because of her pregnancy, Mary became nervous.

The only thing that can comfort Mary is that the omnipotent Mrs. Hudson has prepared dinner.And his wife's cooking skills are superb. Mary always thought that the Aunt Blow she hired was already the best in London. She didn't expect Mrs. Hudson to be the real Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the food was delicious. like british food.

After the cream soup entered her stomach, Mary's nervousness probably eased a bit.

So at the first dinner on the wedding night, Mary and Holmes sat at the end of the dining table, eating their own things quietly.

... something doesn't feel right.

Strictly speaking, this is not the first time Mary has dined with Holmes - the two sat at the same table at Netherfield Manor.But it was indeed the first time Mary had a meal alone with Holmes.

There will be many more opportunities like this in the future.

Realizing this, Mary's heart warmed.

It's nice to not want the stressful reality of life.

So she put down her spoon and broke the silence in a low voice: "No case recently?"

Holmes replied, "No, Lestrade said 'I don't want to ruin my good business'."

Mary: I knew Inspector Lestrade was a good man.

There have been accidents when Jane got married-Mary refers to Lydia's sudden confession to Wickham, which leads to accidents when Elizabeth and Darcy, Dr. Watson and Miss Morstan are married .The situation at the wedding is a standard feature of suspense mystery novels. Well, when she gets married, Mary admits that she still has a little worry.

There is no other reason. Previously, Sherlock Holmes participated in the wedding, but this time it was Holmes' own wedding!

Fortunately no, thank goodness.

"There will always be," Mary comforted Holmes when she saw that Holmes was a little upset, "London is never short of trouble."

Holmes tilted his head: "So, you very much hope that there will be some trouble in London."

Mary said blankly, "No, you want to."

Holmes: "..."

Mary: "..."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then laughed at the same time.

On the topic that nothing bad has happened recently, they chatted about previous cases.Even in the preparations for the wedding, Holmes was not short of work.The "simple, low-level and boring" case that several big detectives said was quite interesting to Mary.She is not a loyal fan of the basic deductive method, as can be seen from Mary's creative style. Among the many genres of suspense mystery novels, she still supports the case-solving mode of actual visits and investigations and careful investigation step by step.

But real cases can always provide inspiration. During the conversation, Mary burst out with a few small inspirations that were not formed.

So after the meal, Mary ran to the study to sort out the records.

Watson's room before was changed into a study according to her room on Serpentine Street after Mary's arrival-of course, a bed was still reserved.

Her typewriter and reference books are neatly stacked on the desk and bookshelves, and the bright and tidy vision makes people feel a sense of professionalism.

However, Mary knew very well that according to her own creative habits, she would definitely make a complete mess in the room within a week, and she might not join Holmes in the ranks of being nagged by Mrs. Hudson.

Such an inspiration was remembered until late at night.

Mary and Holmes have a very similar habit, that is, they can't stop thinking, and they have no time to estimate other things.She writes and draws until late at night, but in the gaps, she randomly thinks that this seems to be no different from her usual life, and then forgets the reality.

As usual, Mary eventually fell asleep at her desk.

She had a dream, dreaming of the wedding scene during the day, and then the wedding scene was intertwined with the case discussed at night, and a thrilling case adventure was vividly played out in Mary's brain. There was Holmes in the dream There are also family members, as well as some messy familiar and unknown characters appearing one after another.Just when Mary wanted to identify them carefully, a thin palm suddenly landed on her shoulder.

"Mary."

Dimly, Mary heard someone calling her: "If you want to rest, go back to the bedroom."

It was Sherlock Holmes.

Mary rubbed her eyes and looked up from the table.Her arms were numb, but Mary was used to it.She shook her hand: "...OK."

She obediently followed Holmes back to the bedroom, still in a daze.Mary, who was in the intersection of sleep and reality, changed her nightgown while still living crazy and messy thoughts in her mind.

Until lying on the bed, the soft touch made Mary breathe a long sigh of relief. She was just about to continue to sleep when she suddenly realized... There was someone on the bed.

It was Holmes who had just woken him up.

She is married.

It wasn't a dream it was real, she had just come back from church during the day, and she was in Baker Street now!

Mary shuddered and woke up completely.

The other side of the bed slumped slightly, and Mary turned her back to the other side, not dared to turn her head at all.

Mrs. Bennet's urgent instructions and the fact that Elizabeth was pregnant came to her mind again, and Mary clearly felt her face heat up inch by inch, almost to the point of smoking.

Now she was lying on the same bed with Holmes!

For a long time neither spoke, but Mary knew that Holmes was awake, and the sound of his breathing told her.But going on like this is not an option.

She took a deep breath and covered her flushed cheeks: "Sherlock, are you asleep?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind: "No, why?"

Mary: "It's nothing, thank you for calling me... Go back to bed and rest. I often have the habit of sleeping on the desk, and I won't do it in the future."

Holmes let out a "hmm". She could feel the people behind her contemplating for a moment, and then said, "How far has your publishing plan progressed?"

"Um……"

Under the sheets, Mary curled herself up in a ball.

"It went well."

She replied: "I made a request for a share to a publisher who continues to be a signature publication. Editor-in-Chief Hall led a lawyer to finalize the share ratio with the other party. It was not as high as I expected, but it was indeed an appropriate ratio. Originally The contract can be signed as soon as possible, but the editor-in-chief Hall said, "It's not too late to sign after your wedding."

"Congratulations," replied Holmes succinctly.

"Thank you."

There was another moment of silence.

"Then," asked Holmes again, "have you any plan of revising the old text before publication?"

"Editor-in-Chief Hall said he didn't suggest me to revise it. Especially since it's only been a year and a half since "Serial Killer Chess Game" to "The Check Lady", everyone still remembers the story. The point is that my experience and mentality haven't changed much. A large revision in a short period of time is likely to make the revision worse." Talking about work, Mary calmed down a lot while talking, "But I still want to try it, at least to harden the logical reasoning in the story. I have made some revisions, and I have no dissatisfaction with other parts for the time being."

"It should."

Holmes sneered a few times: "You made a very low-level mistake in the first story."

Mary: "..."

She won't be fooled!

Although Mary knows that Sherlock Holmes has always been straightforward, he pointed out the reasoning problems in "Serial Killer Chess Game" very bluntly as early as the serialization period, but now that the old story is brought up again, Mary always feels that he is deliberately provocative and turned herself to face it. He—no wonder Mary thought so, she was lying on the same bed with Holmes now.

It's all Mrs. Bennet's fault, Mary thought in her heart, she wasn't that nervous, but as soon as her mother talked about it, Mary always felt that marriage should not be like this.

Forgive her for her miscellaneous thoughts, because this is the first time Mary has married in two lifetimes.Besides, in the eyes of Mrs. Bennet, since Mary is married, it is better to get pregnant tomorrow, and then give birth to five children in one go like Mrs. Bennet herself.

Mary knew that this was an expression of the happiness of her daughter's life in Mrs. Bennet's eyes, but in fact, this kind of thing was directly told to the daughter who came out of the church, and anyone would be stressed, okay!

She sighed heavily.

"Sherlock."

Mary buried her head in the sheets and asked, "Has my presence disrupted your life plans?"

Holmes: "Why do you ask that?"

Mary replied honestly: "Because according to my understanding of Sherlock Holmes, marriage is not an option in his life plan."

Holmes: "..."

For a while, no one spoke.

Just when he didn't think that Holmes would answer, he suddenly took up the topic.

"The violin has its own tone and score," said Holmes, "and the sudden appearance of the piano will naturally prevent the violin from completing its solo plan."

Mary didn't speak, she knew it was just the beginning of Sherlock Holmes' words.

"But there is also a wonderful ensemble between violin and piano."

Mary's hanging heart suddenly relaxed.

Yes, she was thinking too much.

Asking this kind of question is simply questioning Holmes and himself who made the decision.A detective is not a person who will act with sensual enthusiasm at the first moment of his head. Every decision he makes is considered.Mary claims to be not as rational as Holmes, but she is also a person with clear plans.

If it weren't for someone she liked, the Sherlock Holmes of this world, someone who could play her violin and Irish folk songs, Mary couldn't have said yes to him.

Everyone has their own life, and my mother's advice is just to hope that she will live a good life, so there is no need to worry about it.

After finally figuring this out, Mary finally let go of the vague burden and chose to look directly at the problem-this was her first night of marriage.

Mary blushed again at the thought, but she was no longer afraid, took a deep breath, and turned around.

What Mary didn't expect was that Holmes was so close.

So close that as Mary turned around, she crashed directly into his arms.Mary's sudden attack caught Sherlock off guard. With the force of the impact, he had to reach out and grab Mary's back. The two of them rolled half a circle on the bed until Mary lay on top of him.

Mary: "..."

Holmes: "..."

Had Mary propped up the bed, the top of her head would have bumped Holmes' nose.

so close.

Only then did Mary finally get a clear view of Holmes during the night.It was the first time she saw him in pajamas, his black hair was loose, and the ends of his hair covered his eyebrows, and he looked... a bit fragile and helpless.

"That, that."

Mary blushed, and said with anticipation: "I will, I will be careful, so as not to hurt you!"

"........."

Holmes raised his eyebrows: "Please?"
