Scarlett didn't wait too long, and saw Belif hurried in. He hesitated timidly at the door, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Scarlett sitting by the window.

"You came very quickly." Belive said, sitting opposite Scareven.

"You too." Scarlevin glanced at Belif.

Belif felt a little cautious. He was afraid of the child in front of him, not because the child had beaten all his brothers to the ground at the first sight, but...he couldn't explain the reason.

"What do you want?" the waiter asked.

"...Coffee." Belif had never been to this kind of place before. He glanced at Scarlett. Scarlett ordered iced milk. He didn't want to drink this, so he had to order something casually.

"What coffee?" the waiter continued to ask.

"..." Isn't coffee just coffee, is there any other coffee?Belif was a little confused.

"Have a Viennese coffee, a strawberry muffin and a chocolate cake, thank you." Scaleven turned the straw and helped Bellif.

The waiter wrote down the menu and quickly brought the items up.

"Eat first?"

"No, let's talk first." Belif sorted out his thoughts, "There is a group of Italians behind the boxing ring, and the person in charge is Brown/Atwell. He opened this ring because he likes boxing at first Home Boxing Arena..."

"That's all?" Skalevin waited for a long time and saw no further words from Belif.

"No... I heard that a lot of money leaked out of the old drunkard's hands some time ago, which made Old Brown very angry." Belif swallowed, "Old Brown's two sons wanted to squeeze the old drunkard out, but the old drunkard's The son is 'Iron Fist', and they want to find fault with 'Iron Fist'. I heard that 'Iron Fist' was attacked the night before, and I guess it was Anthony... the youngest son of Old Brown sent someone to do it."

"how do you know?"

"His temper is terrible."

Scarlevin is quite satisfied with the result. After all, for a novice, it is not bad to be able to inquire about these in such a short period of time, and there are two inside information.

Bellif saw that Scarlett's expression was not bad, he took out a roll of money and put it on the table and pushed it to Scarlett, "I have inquired about it, and the information is not worth so much, but I took 50 pounds as a Reward." He pretended to be calm and said.

Scarlett didn't point out Belif's little thoughts. She held the money in her hand and asked Belif: "How many people do you have?"

"Fifteen." Belif licked his lips, "In addition to the five you saw last time, there are nine more."

"How big?"

Bellif paused and said, "Two five-year-olds, three eight-year-olds, one ten-year-old, one eleven-year-old, three 11-year-olds, two fifteen-year-olds, one sixteen-year-old, one and me, seventeen. "

"So, have you thought about the question I asked you last time? What are you going to do in the future?"

Regarding this issue, Belif has actually been thinking about it, but he hasn't thought about it until now.People like them have no ability at all. Most of them spend their entire lives as punks. They steal and cheat when they have no money. Who really cares to be an old bum, unlucky and die young?

"Haven't you thought about going to the orphanage?" Skalevin asked after taking a sip of iced milk.

Belif frowned, "That's not a good place." He curled his lips as he thought of something, "You really are a young master, do you think that the orphanage really allows you to wear clean clothes and just sit Is it enough to act cute to the adults for those who come to pick them?"

"Have you stayed here before?" Skalevin asked curiously.

"……Humph."

"Then do you know that there are regulations in the UK that school-age children in orphanages also need to receive compulsory education?" Scarlett said bluntly, "If you don't want to be a thug or a punk all your life, spelling and reading are sometimes very useful , and if there is a need in the future, the orphanage can also be used as a proof. I want to take care of so many children, which is also a burden for you guys. As for finding a satisfactory orphanage... that is the responsibility of you, the boss. ?"

Belif was silent for a while, then asked solemnly: "You tell me this, what good will it do you?"

"At present, there is no benefit." Scarlett told Belif directly, "Only useful people can be used, and as far as you are concerned, there is no value at all. She pushed the roll of money back, "You can just treat me as an early investment, maybe we will have dealings in the future."

Belif thought for a while and asked, "If I need to find you...how can I find you?"

"Just use the old way." Hearing this answer, Skalevin knew that her first move was the right move, and she decided to make a magic mark on the blackboard when she turned around, so as to know the news in time.

Belif was not as naive as an ordinary 17-year-old boy. He made a decision in his heart that he would not be burdened with the money. He collected the money, raised the cold cup of coffee in front of him, and drank it down... Then he was tangled up all over his face by the weird smell.

"I really don't understand why you guys like this." Bellif said with confusion.

"When you get used to it, you will find that the taste is wonderful." Skalevin replied with a pun.

When Scarlett left the cafe, she was not surprised by the two "little tails" behind her, but the tracking skills of these two were really bad. If Scarlett didn't show her whereabouts on purpose, she would be able to get rid of them in minutes Two, but now Scarlett deliberately took them to the toilet at King's Cross Station.

The two "little tails" did not rashly follow in order to prevent Skalevin from finding out.Skalevin changed her clothes in the toilet, shrunk her backpack to the size of a palm, stuffed it into her pocket, changed her hair and eye color again, and finally threw the changed clothes into the trash can... Now she is not eligible Said Sherlock is a prodigal son.

Skalevin left the toilet right in front of the two "little tails" and left a mark on the blackboard. Then Shi Shiran took a taxi and went to the second-hand electronics market to buy something.

On the other side, Belif took the clothes that Skalevin threw away, and didn't blame the little friend who was in charge of following him, but just confirmed the previous decision in his heart.

Scarlett bought what she wanted, had lunch, and returned to King's Cross station on time to wait for Sherlock... But this guy was late again!

I really shouldn't trust this guy, Skalevin thought through gritted teeth.Just as Skalevin was waiting impatiently and preparing to go home first, a police car suddenly stopped at the gate of the station, attracting the attention of countless people, and Skalevin had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Sherlock got down from the passenger seat with a displeased face, slammed the car door, and said to Lestrade who came down from the cab: "Never think of me riding in a police car again, never!"

Scarlett: "..." What's wrong?Stomach hurts a bit.

Lestrade looked embarrassed. He pretended to be pleasantly surprised and said to Scarlett: "Ah, you have arrived... Uh, you are alone? Holmes, you have left your sister alone?"

"To shut up."

Scarlett: "..."

Lestrade said awkwardly to Scaleven again: "I'm sorry we're late, ah, let me call a taxi for you." He graciously waved for a taxi, and Sherlock quickly got into it. in the car.

Scarlett: "...Okay, Mr. Police, goodbye."

Lestrade: "Goodbye."

Sherlock: "Shut up, don't ask anything, I don't want to say it!"

Scarleven: "...I haven't said anything yet."

Sherlock: "Oh, your stupidity is written all over your face, why don't you say it?"

Scarlett: "..." Sherlock, tell me the truth, do you want me to help you.

As revenge, when Scarlett returned home, she blamed Sherlock for being late... In fact, it was true. Mrs. Holmes talked about Sherlock for one night as a punishment (Sherlock thought), and the next few days Every day, Mr. Holmes took Sherlock to the gallery every day, lest he go to the scene of a case alone.And Scarlett was not completely uncontrolled. She was handed over to Mrs. Holmes. Mrs. Holmes was a mathematics professor. She began to teach Scarlett some simple math problems and took her to her place of work. , which made Scarleven basically have no personal time.

Scarlevin enjoyed this kind of life quite a bit. She was good at dealing with people. When Mrs. Holmes brought her to the university, she not only became acquainted with Mrs. Holmes's students who were studying the same subject, but also from time to time Show off your IQ among Mrs. Holmes's colleagues, and the group of professors were surprised and called "as expected of Mrs. Holmes' daughter".Although she was actually in her twenties, on the surface she was only eight years old. Scarlett ran proudly to show off to her mother, which really made Mrs. Holmes very happy and proud.

But Mrs. Holmes was also a little worried that Scarlett's nutrition would not keep up.

Before Scarlevin came, Mycroft had shown them a medical examination report, which said that besides some visible scars on the body surface, Scarlevin had various internal and external injuries.The most serious problem is that malnutrition leads to Scarleven's weak physical function, weak immunity, short stature, withered and yellow hair and other problems.

What pleased Mrs. Holmes the most was that Scarlett didn't cause any psychological problems because of her previous experience. At least Mrs. Holmes hasn't noticed it so far. On the contrary, Scarlett quickly adapted to her new life , and bonded with the family... especially with Sherlock.

A girl who is strong and does not give up, lives hard...a little girl who is only eight years old...who would not feel sorry for her?So Mrs. Holmes has always been willing to give Scarlett the best care, especially in terms of food.I heard that fish is very good for supplementing the body's protein and amino acids, especially eating it is good for the brain. It just so happens that Scarlett loves to eat it, so Mrs. Holmes made fish in a different way.

Grilled sorrel, fried salmon, butter baked herring, fried cod steak... all kinds of recipes take turns, and Sherlock feels that he is about to eat like a cat!

Sherlock: "Why is it fish stew again!"

It's not that Sherlock doesn't like fish, the problem is that no one can afford to eat three meals a day!Even if it's a different fish, it's still fish!

Scarlett: "The fish is delicious, I like it~"

Sherlock: "You shut up, I didn't let you express your opinion!"

The diet wasn't fruitless. In just one week, Scarlevin gained five pounds, thanks, of course, to her increased exercise.But even Sherlock had gained three pounds, and when Mycroft pointed it out when he came home, Sherlock refused to believe it.
