[Sherlock Holmes] The Legend of the Nightingale

(Nightingale's Diary)

Back in Baker Street, I told the story in detail.Holmes lost his rare temper.Watson, by contrast, was calmer, thanking God when he was sure that I missed two shots without injury.

"Next time, find out if the client is telling the truth. Can it be understood that I was laughed at by her?"

"It's us." I said dejectedly, "Maybe I shouldn't have gone, the goal is so obvious."

"It can't be said to be our fault." Watson can occasionally be the calmest man on Baker Street when negative emotions get the best of him. "First, the Earl hid something dishonorable from us. Second, he consulted us while employing violence, which is unjustifiable. We cannot go on without talking to him."

"Talk to him?" Holmes sneered, and threw his coat casually without looking at it.Poor Watson was sitting on the sofa and lifting the lid of his teacup to drink tea, when he hit him so hard that he nearly knocked the cup over. "It's time for him to come to us now. Could it be that Nightingale was placed there to let them be a random target? I'm afraid I won't get better treatment if I go by myself."

"So what should we do?" Watson carefully removed Holmes' coat from the teacup and threw it aside, and blew on the heat again. "There are no photos, and we don't even know what the client asked us to do."

Holmes walked up and down the drawing room a few times, calmer than before.

"We'll wait," he said in an unquestionable tone. "No further action until the Count himself has explained it. If he's really in serious trouble, it's best not to hide."

We really don't do anything anymore.Not only because Holmes did what he said, but also because he didn't know how to continue.The house robbery involved the famous Irene Adler, and the news spread quickly from the public side, and the Earl of Worry didn't know about it.About eleven o'clock the next evening Holmes took up a little of the little case at hand.He looked out the window and suddenly sneered.

"Here comes the Count. Smarter than last time, in a stagecoach. All in black."

"Gentlemen are all in black," I said.

"There won't be any gentleman wearing a mask, right? I don't know who taught him to come out wearing a mask in order to disguise himself. Wouldn't a man wearing a mask suddenly appear on the street attract attention instead?"

Just then the doorbell rang.Holmes glanced at me.

"Avoid again? I've already participated so much."

Holmes snapped his fingers, "I will explain to you later. Avoid it first."

I sighed and went out.Watson went to open the door.Thinking that the person outside the door almost killed me indirectly, I was so angry that I ran up the stairs fiercely.

(Manuscript by Dr. Watson)

At the door stood a man in a black cloak and a black masquerade mask.Except for the eyes, his face is covered from the mouth up.He looked upset and didn't even respond to my greeting, and waved me to lead the way.On entering the room, seeing Holmes standing at the window, he exclaimed:

"Mr. Holmes, this time the trouble is almost public."

Holmes sneered, still looking out of the window.

"Mr. Earl, you don't need to wear a mask here. Is there anyone here who doesn't know you?"

Count Von Kramm pulled off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face

"It would be unwise to settle the score now." Holmes turned his head at last, but with a haughty look.This is his nature, but I did not expect him to be so calm in front of the count.

"Why?" The count blushed because of his agitation.

"Did you arrange the burglary at Adler's house?"

The atmosphere is already tense to the extreme.So far we have not invited the count to sit down.The two confronted each other, one was furious and the other was as cold as ice.

"Yes." The earl glared at Holmes. "And I didn't expect that the person who sent them to Scotland Yard was the detective I commissioned."

"Nor did I expect that the Earl would employ a few street thugs to do the same while consulting me. It was impossible for me not to read this as an affront to my profession."

"I'm just eager to get back that hurtful thing." Perhaps realizing the inadequacy of his arrangement, the Earl's attitude was less aggressive, "I can't bet all on one person. It's OK Understood."

"Understandable, it's not up to you, sir. The point is, that picture doesn't exist. If I hadn't tried to make things clear, we'd be talking in Scotland Yard instead of Baker Street. .”

The Earl's expression began to become hesitant.He looked from Holmes to me and frowned.

"Well, it seems that we need to have a good talk." He whispered, "Those two people were obedient after taking the money. They admitted that they broke into the house and robbed them, and didn't say anything else. What did she... say to you?"

Holmes roughly recounted what Irene said, and deleted all the parts related to the nightingale. After the gunshot, he helped call the police and got all the information from talking with Irene.I suddenly understood.Holmes did not want the Earl to know that Nightingale had any part in the matter.

"How can you take her word for it? That's a cunning woman. She pestered me, forbade me to marry someone else, and now she's slandering my reputation."

The count took on a sad tone.Holmes looked him up and down unabashedly, as if seeing him for the first time.The Count looked away.

"It is no cause for celebration, sir, to learn such a lie at an age," said Holmes quietly, though he was only two years older than the young Earl. "Irene Adler was married to a Mr. Norton at the Santa Monica Church yesterday. Sure enough, you're not surprised at all, you knew she didn't bother with those things. If you just want me to help hide some Unspeakable things, then, I will not accompany you."

The Count turned pale.He didn't need to be invited this time, and slowly sat down on the chair closest to him, because he couldn't stand still.

"Mr. Holmes, I can swear that although I was once tempted by the devil, I did not follow his orders in the end."

I couldn't help showing a mocking smile.To use such literary language against Holmes would be contemptuous of him.Although he can occasionally use it on others.

"I fell out with Irene six months ago," said the Earl sullenly. "It was impossible for me to marry her, but she couldn't accept it. Some time after our separation, I had some debt problems-details There is no need to disclose it to you.”

This again involves a chaotic account of these nobles.Sometimes they have ostensible ancestral castles, manors, fields or forests, which may have been pledged by some usurer.When desperately trying to preserve the aristocratic airs, you may have to resort to some improper means.

"I know someone who can hook up with...'him'. 'He' has a way of getting me through. You probably know who I'm talking about."

Holmes nodded.Now only he could understand what the Count was saying.

"We communicated once or twice, but then I got scared and refused to cooperate, and 'he' didn't talk to me again. On the day the incident was revealed, Erin suddenly came to return all the things I gave her. During the conversation I remembered that two letters from 'him' were on the desk, but I couldn't get her away right away. After fidgeting all afternoon, I finally sent her away, and then..."

"Then I found out that she had taken the letter away without anyone noticing." I continued, "It's incredible."

"That's why I had to get the letter back. She's a smart woman. My disturbed look must have reminded her, and she knew 'him.'"

"Who is the man with whom you have been contacted?" asked Holmes.

"The person who funded me was dealing with me as Professor Murphy. I know that's not his real name. 'He' contacted me through an assistant named Pollock."

"what's the plan?"

"Do you believe I don't know by now?" said the Count, somewhat sadly, "that 'he' won't reveal until we've actually settled."

"How much was promised?"

"Tens of thousands of pounds."

This is a shocking figure.I looked at Holmes, who was still talking with the count calmly.

"So you rejected 'his' offer, and 'he' didn't tell you how to get the money. Now it's settled?"

"Yes. Except for the two letters in Irene's hand." The count sounded very sincere.People who are frightened are usually very sincere.

"If there's nothing in the letter, you don't need to rack your brains to get it back."

"But if it gets out, even if I can clear my name at Scotland Yard, my reputation will be ruined. And..." He lowered his voice, "I dare not offend that man. Publicity of the letter will threaten 'him ' of security."

Holmes tried to ask more about "him", but the Count could say nothing, perhaps he was reluctant to say more.

"There is one last question. What you need is a letter, but when you commissioned us to find a photo. Why?"

"This one……"

The count hesitated for a long time with a bitter face.

"I just said that I have settled with 'him', but it's not quite. 'He' is helping me get the letter back, and it's also for himself. 'He' asked me to come to you, and what I said before' He' taught."

I felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.Holmes fixed his deep eyes on the count.

"why?"

"I do not know, Mr. Holmes."

Holmes pondered for a moment.

"Let's stop here today, Monsieur Earl. I think this entrustment can also end here."

"But, but my letter..." The count stood up.

"I have never received a commission to find a letter. It seems that your mentor knows how to help you. I am just a cover. Now that the photo does not exist at all, my commission will naturally be lifted."

"I'm really sorry," said the Earl dejectedly but sincerely. "I have caused you trouble this time. As for the remuneration, Mr. Holmes, in order to compensate you for your efforts for me, I will still..."

"It's not a question of remuneration. I haven't completed any commissions, and I can't talk about remuneration."

Having said these words, Holmes turned back to look out of the window.

The author has something to say: A big foreshadowing about Adler has been uncovered, and there is no explosive point for the time being. This chapter is to explain the cause and effect of the point. It won’t be too uncomfortable to cut it here, because the next thing is gorgeous~ ~~~~~~

The author ran away to inform. . . . . .

A wave of exam paper presentations is coming, the author loves to play, but now he has been caught up in the circle, if he doesn't fight his back, his GPA will be a dog.I will still check the comments from time to time, but I will have to update bye-let me think about it-yes, I will have to wait until I finish the last exam and go home in late January.And we also need to solve the problem of no network or traffic after returning home.The initial plan is. . .Save some traffic to burn out the update. . .

By the way, this time can also take time to think about it.I knew that the original work of Fore was prone to collapse, but I didn't think about it deeply, but now I find it really scary to think about it carefully.I sneaked through an episode of Detective Cases in my busy schedule, and then thought silently: Am I broken?Did it collapse? ?Did it collapse? ? ?Or think about it before writing too much (are you sure it’s not too much?) so as not to lead the dog behind...

Hey, the author is going crazy to endorse the book and check the information. I will treasure the blades, and there will be a later date~

☆、BGM recommendation

OK, I know that the author doesn't change the text anymore, and doesn't start to look for BGM at the end of the review period, which is a death in various senses, but the problem is - the author can't control his heartbeat (/^-^(^^ *)/Because I just watched Shenxia's special series "The Hateful Bride" yesterday... Frankly speaking, I was a true fan in high school, and was accepted by a senior sister who watched "Legend of Merlin" together. The original party originally rejected the adaptation , but I feel that it is closely related to the original work and has new ideas, so I really fell in love with it for a while, and later in the third season, I went out (zhuan) pit (hei) with the senior sister who pulled me into the pit. Yes, it is So much yelling about (zhuan) pit (hei) every day, as soon as the special series came out, I... dragged my roommate to watch it again. But I admit, I was indeed among a group of viewers who praised "so handsome", The only one who sighed "It would be great if Brett played it", and keenly heard the melody of the theme music of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" in the background music.

Uh... so you won't be beaten, right?After all, Bright's status is not what I said, it is recognized in the history of film.When I was writing, I already felt that getting rid of Shenxia's influence had become a kind of difficulty.It may be a reaction to the version, it is easy to go from the style of the original to the style of Shenxia without paying attention.This curly blessing is also a milestone role in the history of Sherlock Holmes adaptation.But in this article, I would rather the Bund be warmer than the original book, rather than colder. In fact, it is not difficult to write a completely warm man or a person who is completely cold. The difficulty is that there is both cold and hot, because in fact there is no Man is singular.No matter how it is adapted, the original is irreplaceable in my heart.No matter how many young and beautiful actors re-enact Sherlock Holmes, Jeremy Bright will always be the only one in my heart.Let alone, I will repeat the Shenxia theme melody a hundred times (what the hell is going on with you?!)~

So much nonsense, let's get down to business.I just talked about the BGM thing.I have seen many authors recommend BGM to readers in the article, and eat it with them when reading the article.I have always wanted to do this, like adding music to my own movies, but I have been hesitant, because although I wrote the article, the readers’ feelings may be different from my own, so the music recommended here may not be the same. Suitable for creating all possible atmospheres.Giving background music is equivalent to setting the emotional tone.But then I thought, if it’s not suitable, readers should listen to it as a song (≧ω≦)

Because I was too excited to watch the movie, and because I saved some songs that I think are suitable, I posted them as soon as I was excited... Strictly speaking, it can’t be called BGM, it’s more like MusicCharacterization or something.The music will be posted here one after another according to the plot.

The first is the theme music I designed for this article.Some readers have discovered the hidden meaning of "Rain in London". Let's just say that this sentence is inspired by Adele's Set Fire to the Rain, but the meaning I adopted is different from the original meaning of the lyrics, and the original song's emotion is better than the expected effect Intense too much.The version I recommend is the pure piano music version of PianoTributePlayers.Every time I listen to this song, I can make up the plot in the text by myself, and sometimes it can bring inspiration.
