Chapter 496

"Wonderful game, you did all the points I said, won the game, and fooled all the audience. Here is the money you won." Holmes gave Zhang Heng all the 30 pounds he had won on the bet.

As a boxer, he can't make his own bets. He can only participate in spinach. He can only do it for Holmes on the other side. Plus the two pounds he earned as a boxer, he gained a total of 32 pounds this time.

"You don't have any fame. No one knows your strength. It's not a well-known game, so the entrance fee is only so much. You'll get better later, but it seems that you don't have much interest in fame, ha ha ha."

"As I said before, making money is secondary to me." Zhang Heng wiped the sweat on his face with a towel.

"That's too bad. If you want to fight all the way, you may become a famous boxer. You have strength, cool head and come from the mysterious ancient oriental country. This is also a good gimmick." Holmes said, "but I'm glad you're willing to work with me. I really need a partner."

…………

Two weeks after the case of the nameless woman on the Thames, Zhang Heng catches Pearson who wants to escape. Gregson interrogates Pearson on the spot and confirms Holmes' reasoning. He immediately releases Paul. But the bad news is that when he takes people to John's house, he learns that the latter has gone on holiday and just left last night.

This is clearly a sign of a guilty escape.

Gregson patted his thigh angrily. What he worried about most was which colony John went to and didn't come back. It was so far away that it was hard for the police to catch anyone. However, Holmes later gave him some advice. John was different from Pearson. He had a head and face in London, as well as factories and real estate.

He will not leave these things behind and go to the colony until he has to. Life there is far less colorful than that in the metropolis. His absconding is more like a trial.

So Holmes' proposal to Gregson is simple.

- "take back" Paul, and then visit John's house again, explaining that he went to the police to ask him to attend the trial of Paul.

After thinking about it, Gregson did it, and it didn't take long for the bitter meat to work.

John had never left London at all. He was hiding in a secret manor in the suburb, watching the outside all the time, while the old housekeeper of his house was responsible for informing him.

Seeing that the "murderer" has been caught, not only the echo, the times, the evening flag and other newspapers are praising the efficiency and wisdom of the London police led by Sergeant Gregson. In addition, some social enthusiasts and activists are calling for improving the personal safety of female workers.

It seemed to be settled, and a week later John returned to his house.

He is also worried that at this juncture, if he left too long and was suspected by the police, it would not be worth the loss.

As a result, shortly after his front foot stepped into the door, his back foot was surrounded by the police.

Sergeant Gregson can finally take a long breath and happily handcuff John. The next day, a new piece of news appeared in the echo, telling how the witty Sergeant Gregson used the media to disturb the criminal's judgment, reduce the latter's vigilance, and finally catch all the real criminals.

The citizens of London experience the feeling of reading detective stories. They did not expect that there are so many twists and turns behind a case. There is a fight between the police and the criminals. In the end, justice triumphs over evil and injustice is vindicated. No one does not like such a story.

Sherlock Holmes is also paying attention to the progress of the case, but strictly speaking, he is only paying attention to whether the appearance features he deduced before are right or not, and does not care about other things. After John was arrested, Sherlock Holmes went to have a look, and then went back to 221B Baker Street with satisfaction.

Zhang Heng felt a little funny.

Holmes' obsession with reasoning has indeed reached a point that ordinary people can't understand. He is addicted to it, just like a child addicted to the sea of toys.

"In fact, the case itself is not complicated, or even very simple. If the person handling the case is me, I will realize that John is a criminal when I see him. Even if I can't arrest him at the first time because of lack of evidence, I will send someone to watch him and keep him from running around. Fortunately, this matter is finally over." Said Holmes.

It took Zhang Heng two weeks to finish reading the cases Holmes gave him. He really opened up a lot of ideas, including some cases with wonderful criminal techniques and very cunning murderers.

However, Holmes said to him, "don't worry. This is just the beginning. Next, you need to summarize and analyze the similarities and differences in these cases, and keep them in mind. When you encounter similar cases in the future, you can reflect them at the first time. As for the knowledge of distinguishing soil and tobacco, I will also teach you, but not now At least you have to wait until you finish the first stage of study, otherwise you will not be able to chew too much. "Zhang Heng nodded to show his understanding.

A fight has made him a lot of money. In the last two months, he doesn't have to worry about money any more. Of course, with the increase of his winning rate, it's not so easy to make money from spinach. But after that, the appearance fee will increase. Basically, two or three fights a month will be enough to cope with the expenses.

After finishing the case of the female corpse in the Thames, Holmes received two cases of consultation. One was a detective from his peers, and the other was entrusted by the client. After listening to the detailed description of the case, Holmes basically completed the reasoning and deduction, found a breakthrough, and even didn't have to go around the scene.

These two cases also helped him make some money, and then he entered a period of leisure.

With no work to take up in the last week, Holmes finally had time to finish his thesis on the influence of professional adversary. Then he began to play his violin and finally turned into a salted fish in boredom.

When Zhang Heng seldom had breakfast in the morning, Holmes didn't get up. In fact, no one came out of the room all morning.

Zhang Heng knocked on the door and then went into the room.

Sherlock Holmes was leaning back in his suede easy chair, with his head tilted back, two or three pinholes in his arm, and a syringe on the table beside him.

"Do you know it's going to kill you?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Don't be so nervous, it's only 7% solution. I know it's harmful to my health, but I'm active and restless. Although I'm given the most troublesome problems and the most difficult cases, I'll enjoy them. What I hate most is ordinary life. Compared with it, those side effects are no big deal."

Sherlock Holmes didn't open his eyes and looked like a sneer. "Everyone in the world is pursuing stability and ease, getting married and having children, and working at ease. But I don't know what to expect in such a day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking forward to chaos all day long. But if there are no criminals in London, I can also consider moving, Or I'll die in this chair sooner or later. "
