Chapter 504

Holmes came back at dusk. He rushed into the room without saying a word. After a while, the sound of the violin came out of his bedroom. He completely ignored the feelings of the audience, and probably tormented the ears of people outside for a quarter of an hour. Then he put down his violin contentedly. Then he said to Zhang Heng, "I'm with you tonight I told him that I didn't get much useful information in the afternoon, and I couldn't talk about anything. "

"Just in time, I also want to tell you that I may not be able to go in the evening." Zhang Heng took out the two opera tickets. "A friend gave me two tickets and asked me to go to her performance in the evening."

"Ha, is there a new opera at the Queen's theatre?" Holmes as always sharp eyed, "then you have a companion?"

"You know, I've just arrived in London. I'm not very familiar with it, and I don't have many acquaintances, so..."

"That's a coincidence. I'm going to the Queen's Theatre tonight, too." Holmes said with a smile.

"Do you like opera as well as violin?"

"I love opera, but it's not just for opera tonight." Sherlock Holmes said, "if we want to catch Mr. m, we have to know who his target is. He has been working in France before and suddenly went all the way to London. Obviously, it can't be a small business."

"So you have scope?"

"Well, I went to visit some friends this afternoon and sorted out a list of people he might be targeting from top to bottom. Although he hasn't started yet, if I were him, I would have started to study the target. It happens that all the people on my list No.135 will appear in the Queen's Theatre tonight, and I and the head of the theatre There is some relationship between Xi makeup artists. Originally, I wanted to ask him to get a ticket for me, but now you have a ticket in your hand, so it's best. "

After dinner, Holmes and Zhang Heng put on their dresses.

After Holmes shaved his stubble and cleaned it up, he seemed to be in a lot of spirit. With his hawk nose and resolute facial lines, he might not be a beautiful man, but he was absolutely not ugly.

Then Holmes picked a tortoiseshell as the handle and rose wood as the stick. At the same time, he said to Zhang Heng, "my Oriental friend, now that you have money, you should buy a suitable stick."

Zhang Heng can't understand the crazy love of European men for walking sticks. In the so-called gentlemanly class in London, few people don't have a walking stick, and they usually have more than one. For example, when they walk the dog in the morning, they will take all wood walking sticks to go out. In the evening, they will change to silver walking sticks. At dinner, the rich people will hold gold walking sticks.

In addition, there are special walking sticks for such occasions as office work and opera. When Balzac, a big and small speaker, was most down and out in debt, he did not hesitate to throw 700 francs to buy a luxurious walking stick inlaid with agate stone. This kind of desire for consumption has already exploded most of 618 choppers. Today, it even means selling kidney to buy apple It's too late.

But doing as the Romans do has always been Zhang Heng's virtue.

The 19th century is almost the golden age of walking sticks. Even many famous jewelry brands can't help but get a share. Tiffany and Cartier have their own canes. Zhang HENGDU's canes are not very interested, not only because of their high price, but also because Zhang Heng's selection criteria are different from most people. Besides being a symbol of identity, Zhang HENGDU's canes can also be used as self-defense weapons when necessary.

Therefore, Zhang Heng pays more attention to the weight and firmness of the cane, whether it is qualified as a weapon, rather than the appearance. He plans to visit the second-hand goods market tomorrow.

When they arrived at the Queen's Theatre, it was half an hour before the performance began. Irene Adler's ticket was in a very good position, just in "that's right." Holmes clapped his hands and said, "we can't rule out that some criminals deliberately disturb the scene, but most of the time everything left by the criminals has a purpose, especially this shrewd old thief, who is like an artist, can hardly add extra strokes to a perfect painting So, if I ask you where the painting is hidden in the room, can you reason it out? "

"In that porcelain vase," Zhang Heng said decisively, "viar is really a very responsible detective. He collected more information and basically searched every corner of the room. Only that porcelain vase, I saw the portrait on my notebook. The mouth of the porcelain vase is very small, but the stomach is very big. If you put the oil painting in it and stick it close to the bottle body below, you can see from it There's no way to find it up there. "
