[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 28

Heavy but swift footsteps rushed from the first floor to the second floor, and soon a man appeared in front of Sherlock and John.This man was about the same height as Sherlock, but much stronger than Sherlock. He had broad shoulders, long hands and feet, black hair and eyes, and a handsome appearance. He was about 25 or six years old.It can be seen that he is serious and arrogant by nature, used to be expressionless, and often frowns, so that he is not very old, and a deep mark has already appeared in his brow.But now on this handsome and expressionless face, there is unconcealed restlessness and uneasiness, which makes his face look a bit hideous, but he has tried his best to adjust his expression now.

"My God, my God... Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson, this gentleman is going to charge up, I can't stop him..." Fantine was frightened by this tall and strong man... She just Opening the door, he rushed in.

"It's okay, Fantine, this is my guest." Sherlock waved his hand and let Fantine leave.

"Watson, this is Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy, this is my roommate and good friend Dr. Watson, who is also my assistant." Sherlock introduced, "Please sit down, Mr. Darcy, please sit down. "

But Darcy didn't sit down, he stood upright and recovered his breath, and then asked anxiously: "Can I trust you, gentlemen? Please forgive my rudeness, but the matter is important, not only It affects the reputation of a family, and it is also related to the future of several unmarried ladies in this family."

"Of course. We can swear to you on our own honor." Although John didn't understand what was going on, it didn't prevent him from answering Darcy on behalf of himself and Sherlock.

Sherlock nodded, but he had already deduced the outline of the matter from Darcy's few words.

Reassured, Darcy didn't want to waste time, having learned at some past event that Sherlock Holmes was indeed a man to trust.

"Mr. Holmes, I need you to help me find two people, one named George Wickham and the other named Lydia Bennet." Darcy carefully and reread the names of the two persons.

"What? Bennett?" Jenny, who came up with a plate, just heard a familiar surname.

Darcy turned around quickly, only to realize that he was so negligent that he forgot to close the door.But what Jenny said caught the attention of both Darcy and Sherlock.

"You know?" Darcy asked.

"Uh...if you're talking about the Bennet I know." Jenny brought everyone a cup of tea, "Tea, gentlemen."

Talk like you're here for tea.Seeing Jenny's bulging pockets, Sherlock secretly rolled his eyes.

Jenny: Anyone who is rushed by the maid and said: "There is a rude and terrible man who is going up to find Mr. Holmes." Will everyone take a look at it with a weapon?

Sherlock: If something happened, did you think you could do something by coming up with a gun?

The information of the two people's quick exchange of eyes was not known to the other two people in the room.Thanks to the appearance of a kind and gentle lady like Jenny, Darcy finally calmed down. He was very polite—although he still took the teacup from Jenny with a blank expression, thanked him, and sat down. down.

"I have a friend. There is a Gardner department store next to his house. The owner's sister is married to a gentleman named Bennet and has five daughters. The eldest and the second are rare beauties, ah , By the way, I remember that some time ago, the Gardners took their niece named Elizabeth Bennet to Derbyshire for a trip, she is the second daughter." Jenny explained, and she also noticed that when she At the word "Elizabeth," the Mr. Darcy seemed to stiffen.

Jenny: Oh~~~~~

"I think we're talking about the same family," Darcy said dully.

Sherlock clapped his hands, "Given the landlady's gossip news, maybe she brings us some useful clues, and women are occasionally useful (when he finished this sentence, he got a glare from Jenny)... Mrs Hudson, please close the door and sit in this chair, okay, you're going to be involved in this next thing, I think I can trust you not to take anything that happens in this house, anything Say, let the fifth person know, right? No more gossip about other people?"

Jenny twitched the corner of her mouth: "I promise."

Darcy looked at Jenny scrutinizingly, and Jenny looked back with a smiling mask.

Darcy: There are always some strange people around Mr. Holmes.

(Jenny: Hey, I'm so weird!!!)

"Well, I think I can't waste any more time." Darcy put down his teacup and took a deep breath, "Because of some relationship, I have some friendship with the Bennet family, Lydia Bennet is their the youngest daughter of the family, and Wickham was a villain who seduced Miss Bennet, I mean, Lydia Bennet... and they both... eloped."

When Darcy said this, he found that except for the doctor Watson who opened his eyes wide, the other two remained unchanged, which made Darcy feel a little frustrated.

"Once this matter is exposed, the blow to this family will be fatal, especially when this lady has several older sisters who are not married." Darcy clenched his fists irritably, "I have reason to believe that The two of them have already come to London, but I don't have many trustworthy people in London now, and it will take time for other people to come to London...I hope to find them in the shortest possible time and settle the matter."

What is still unclear about things here?Sherlock began to ask his own questions: "What kind of man is that Wickham, and what vices does he have? Does he have a permanent residence in London?"

Darcy: "He's a ruffian, a liar...and a gambler, I don't think he has a lot of acquaintances in London, he used to be in the militia... oh no, it doesn't matter, he left privately, and He owes a lot of money to people, and he won't be able to cover his tracks. He has very few people in Derbyshire who can cover for him... I think he is the most likely..."

"No, no, Mr. Darcy, don't say your inferences, it will affect me." Sherlock interrupted Darcy.

"Oh, since that's the case, I don't have much to offer." Jenny thought about it carefully, "I have met two Miss Bennet, the oldest two, they introduced their sisters, the youngest This character is very lively, and I don't think she seems to have... very clear moral values. From my feeling, I guess she doesn't particularly understand the serious consequences of elopement for her and her family, so, also That is to say, she may not have thought of marriage at all?"

"Oh my god, that's terrible."

"Bad guess, bad."

John and Sherlock cried out simultaneously.

"Wait... Let me think about it, I remember Mrs. Gardner said that her two youngest nieces liked to dress up so much that almost all their pocket money was spent on it..." Jenny Another thing came to mind, "I gave her a lot of small jewelry and lace before, so she can pass it on to her nieces."

Sherlock glanced at Jenny: "Thank you, Mrs. Hudson, I think I know enough. We're going out later. Could you please prepare some umbrellas for us?"

Jenny: "...OK."

Jenny: Damn, what's the matter with the instant sight after use?

After Jenny came downstairs, Sherlock, John, and Darcy soon came downstairs, and they took their umbrellas and went straight out.

Although Jenny has only met Jane Bennet and Elizabeth Bennet once, she still has a good impression of these two ladies. With a head, it seems that Mr. Darcy is not so easy to chase her.

Just now out of politeness Jenny didn't say that she had gossiped with Mrs. Gardner about Elizabeth's suitors—Mrs. I think this Mr. Darcy must have never had a girlfriend.Or should I put it this way, a man earning £[-] a year doesn't need to find a girlfriend at all...they usually post it themselves.But if this Mr. Darcy thinks he can get a girl like Elizabeth the way he treats other women... hehe...

Jenny: I didn't expect to see the real (stupid) Mr. Darcy this time~=v=It's a pity I can't tell Mrs. Gardner=a=

The gentlemen didn't come back very late, and Jenny wasn't worried at all.With these three people, money (Darcy), connections (Sherlock), skills (John)... After using money to open a way to find the young couple through various paths, they can guarantee not to beat the scumbag to death... ...what else is there to worry about?Anyway, they are definitely not the unlucky ones.

Sure enough, Sherlock and John didn't come back until the early hours of the morning, when Jenny was still asleep and didn't hear the door open, but Fantine told her when she went downstairs the next day.

Fortunately, the hot water was left yesterday, Jenny thought.

Fantine handed over a card and ten pounds.

"That's what I saw on the table in the morning, madam," said Fantine.

"Thank you, Fantine." Jenny put the money on the table and sat down on the chair to open the card. "Dear Mrs. Hudson, here is the food expenses for next time and a deposit for ten shirts. I need five cotton and five linen. By the way, I hope to see a good three meals tomorrow."

Jenny: "..." Damn it, the revenge came so late, it's been a long time since the New Year, okay?

Jenny couldn't believe it, that guy Sherlock was so childish, didn't he accidentally read your... so what?Didn't you just send a few shirts that fit?Do you really think I'm your housekeeper?

Jenny couldn't let it go: ten pounds, that's ten pounds, Holmes is such a slut, every time he makes a shot, he pays ten pounds, by the way, last time he gave Wiggins and his team a half-start each Forget it, let’s do it, buy ten pieces of shirt fabric for at most two or three pounds, and spend some manual work, and earn a lot at once~ Thinking about it like this is so much fun, it’s a good deal, next time I have clothes If you want to do it, please call me again... Wait, didn't I just want to refuse?

Jenny found that Sherlock was really cunning and cunning, and every time she used this kind of money shells, she would not accept it, and she was reluctant to accept it.After struggling for a long time, Jenny still decided to do it for him, it’s a bastard who doesn’t make money =v=

The rent was just collected a few days ago, and Jenny was in a good mood today, so she decided to buy some beef and stew the beef soup, and send some to the neighbors by the way... and buy some cloth by the way, by the way, just By the way.

When Jenny needs to go out with Fantine, Cosette will sit obediently in the kitchen or on the doorstep to do homework, sometimes to practice writing words, sometimes to practice embroidery, sometimes to draw... ...The homeless boys on the street are willing to help babysit this cute soft girl, and there are not many opportunities like this.
