Chapter 503

"What are you talking about?" After checking in, Villar came back sweating.

"What restaurants are there in London? I'll treat you to something later." Holmes is serious.

"Hi, it's too strange. I'm not here to travel. You don't have to worry about me. I'll just have something to eat." The red haired detective flushed and waved his hands.

Sherlock Holmes could not help but smile. "Viar, my friend, we were actually helping you find the missing painting."

"What, did you find that painting?" Villar nearly jumped up from the ground in surprise. "So fast? How is that possible? "

"In fact, if you are willing to calm down and pay attention to the details you left behind, you can also piece together the answers."

"You really flatter me. It's very difficult for you to lift a finger. It's very difficult for those of us with ordinary talent." Viard was convinced.

"It's not like that. As I said, you have potential, viar. It's just that you haven't fully tapped it out. In fact, Zhang is about to find the answer, and he hasn't been in this line for long."

"The people who can live with you must not be ordinary people, they are all the objects of my study." Unlike Gregson, the red haired detective is a little too modest. He always puts himself in a very low position, just like a student.

Sherlock Holmes had no choice but to say, "although it was a joke before, you are a guest from afar, and it's almost dinner time. We'd better finish lunch together, and then you can have a rest in the afternoon to think about the case. I'll take advantage of this time to check something, and see you in the evening."

…………

The three then had lunch at the famous Royal restaurant in London. After dinner, Holmes left as he said in a hurry, leaving viar to return to the hotel. Zhang Heng went back to Baker street alone. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mrs. Hudson give him a strange look.

"What's the matter?"

"You have visitors." Said Mrs. Hudson.

"Guests?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. In London in the 19th century, he was completely alone. He had no relatives or friends. Holmes, the only one who had a close relationship with him, was a resident here. Generally speaking, people who would come to 221B Baker Street were also looking for Holmes.

However, Zhang Heng immediately thought of a person. The gypsy salesman he met in the east side yesterday afternoon asked for his name and address when he separated, and said he would visit.

Zhang Heng thought that the other party was just talking casually, but he didn't expect to come, and he came to him the next day.

However, when Zhang Heng came into the living room, he was slightly stunned when he saw the visitors.

The figure on the sofa is not a gypsy entertainer at all, but a woman, and she is also a very beautiful woman. No, it should be said that she has almost satisfied all men's fantasies about Victorian beauties. She is graceful, well-dressed, with an inborn mystical temperament, and a twinkle and a smile.

"Why?" The woman ate the cake and said, "don't you recognize me?"

"You have changed a lot." Zhang Heng also had to admit that if Sherlock Holmes's make-up technique had Lv2, then the mysterious woman's make-up technique had probably reached LV3 level. It was natural for women to disguise as men. In addition, he took a long scarf at that time, which covered up the only broken neck, making it invisible that she had no Adam's apple.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that Zhang Heng didn't pay much attention to her at that time. He just helped her. In addition, unlike Sherlock Holmes, Zhang Heng was not familiar with each other before, so he didn't notice this at the first time because of many factors.

"I didn't mean to deceive you, but you can see that I can't go to the east side if I look like I am." Women's way.

"What do ladies like you do on the east side?"

"I'm the lead singer of a song and drama company. I'm quite famous in London, but I guess you haven't seen my performance either. I went to the east end to find inspiration for the new play." Women's way.

"Sorry, I really don't see much opera."

"It doesn't matter. I'll have a performance at the Queen's Theatre tonight. You can come and see it with your friends if you like." As she spoke, the woman took out two tickets and put them on the table.

"I said it's just a small lift. You don't have to worry about it." Zhang Hengdao.

"Think of it as making a friend." The woman did not take back the ticket, finished the last biscuit in her hand, and rushed to Mrs. Hudson, "good craftsmanship."

"Just like it." Mrs. Hudson was also pleased to be praised.

Then the female singer stretched out. It seems that she came here to deliver the two opera tickets. Now that the business has been finished, she did not drag on any longer. She stood up from the sofa and turned to leave.But Zhang Heng called her from behind, "I haven't asked your name yet."

"Adler," the singer stopped and looked back with a smile, "Irene Adler."

Then she put on her flowerpot hat and veil, pushed the door open, and there was already a carriage waiting for her on the side of the road.

Zhang Heng's face moved when he heard the name. Of course, people who have seen "Sherlock Holmes" will not be unfamiliar with Irene Adler. Sherlock Holmes once told Watson that he had been defeated by four people, including three men and one woman, and that woman is the mysterious female singer Irene Adler.

The confrontation between them was in the case of "Bohemian scandal", which ended with the female singer and her new husband running away from London overnight. Holmes failed to complete the entrustment, but it was also a perfect ending for the client. Holmes finally asked for a picture of Adler, and later respected the female singer as the woman.

Therefore, some readers suspect that Holmes may have hidden feelings for female singers.

However, as Holmes' new roommate, Zhang Heng is more inclined to think that it's just a kind of empathy. In fact, Holmes has nothing to do with love. He has always sneered at love, believing that that kind of thing will damage rationality, and its effect is worse than those things he is injecting for entertainment, just like a precision instrument Sand particles fall into the lens, or a high-power lens cracks.

Therefore, he always keeps away from things like love. Of course, he also studies human psychology in love, just for the purpose of solving cases.
