Chapter 505

"Great reasoning." Holmes praised, "as I said, your talent in this field is amazing. My Oriental friend, I can't even find a suitable word to describe your intelligence."

He wanted to say something more, but the next moment the music was playing, so Holmes drew back to his seat, put his fingers on his knees, and was ready to enjoy the performance.

This new opera is called Carmen. Its author, George bicai, is a Frenchman with great talent. Unfortunately, he died young at the age of 37. Carmen was completed one year before his death. It tells the story of a love tragedy in Seville, Spain.

Carmen, a beautiful and unrestrained gypsy girl, works as a female worker in a tobacco factory. The military monitor, don Jose, is fascinated by her. He does not hesitate to give up his love in the countryside, the gentle and kind Mikaela. Later, he violates the military discipline and releases Carmen who fights with the female workers. When Jose gets out of prison, he simply joins Carmen's smuggling gang However, in the later days, there was a conflict between the two young lovers. Carmen empathized and fell in love with the bullfighter escamirio. When people cheered for escamirio's victory over the bull, Carmen died under don Jose's dagger.

Love and destruction are the themes of the opera.

Unlike previous operas with heroes or mythical characters as the protagonists, "Carmen" takes female workers and low-level officers as the protagonists, which has to be said to be a bold attempt. This is why Eileen Adler disguises herself as a gypsy salesman to seek inspiration in the east side.

The latter, dressed in a red dress, attracted the attention of all the audience as soon as they appeared.

Tonight, she is more dazzling than ever, and she has a more unrestrained temperament. Her 38 beat aria when seducing don Jose is also the climax of the first act.

However, when everyone was intoxicated with her singing and posture, Holmes patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "there's something wrong. We need to do something."

They got up from their seats, bent down and quietly came to the aisle.

Holmes said, "see that waiter in the box on the second floor?"

"Well."

"He's the one who delivers fruit plates to the boxes. Originally, this position should be fixed, but he changed a person about ten minutes ago."

"Do you think he's Mr. M. watching his prey up close?"

"I don't think it's Mr. m himself, but this guy is obviously related to Mr. M. catching him will at least let us know who Mr. M's target is this time." Said Holmes.

But the next moment, I saw that the waiter's eyes also fell on the two people, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"He seems to be He noticed us Zhang Hengdao.

“…… It looks like this Holmes also said.

Then the waiter threw away the tray in his hand, turned his head and rushed to a box not far away.

"Let's split up and I'll go up."

"Then I'll go out." Zhang Hengdao.

After a brief discussion, Holmes rushed to the second floor, while Zhang Heng ran out of the theater.

The sudden appearance of Sherlock Holmes at the stairway obviously made several security guards beside the prime minister's box nervous, but then Sherlock Holmes plunged into the box next door.

When the door was opened, there was a mess on the table inside. Meanwhile, the window was wide open, and the food and wine glasses were staggering. A businessman was hugging his wife and daughter, and the three members of the family were shivering.

Holmes did not stop and stepped on the windowsill with his left foot. However, his face moved and he noticed that when he was about to leave, the fear of the three members of the family did not ease, but increased.

Holmes immediately realized that the target he was chasing was probably still in the box.

This time, however, his opponent was also decisive. He stopped and rolled out from his seat decisively. The knife in his hand stabbed Holmes in the calf. The latter blocked the blow with his cane and shook the dagger away. But then the target jumped up from the ground and hugged Holmes. They fell back together.

The scene was chaotic, accompanied by the scream of the hostess, but at this time the music just reached the peak, which covered up the disturbance here.

Holmes' boxing skills can't be used in such a narrow space. At the same time, his head accidentally bumped into something just now. The waiter like man rode on him and pinched his neck, which made it more and more difficult for him to breathe. He reached out to reach the stick that fell to one side, but he was noticed by the other side and kicked the stick to the side Go away.

So Holmes could only hope that the three members of the family who were watching could help him.

After a short period of stupefaction, the man was the first to react. He pushed open the door of the box and ran out with his wife and daughter. He didn't even put on his coat.

"Great, you've been a great help." Holmes squeezed these words out of his teeth.Now he can only use his best to break off the hands on his neck.

Although Holmes looks very thin, but his strength is not bad, but tonight he obviously met his opponent. The strength of the other side is stronger than him, but now he has no space to swim.

Holmes only felt that his breath was getting harder and harder, and his hand was getting weaker and weaker.

Just as his vision was about to become blurred, a figure turned in from the window, kicked the waiter in the ribs, kicked the latter straight out and fell on the corridor.

Holmes greedily breathed the fresh air he had not seen for a long time and asked Zhang Heng, "am I dead, otherwise why are you here?"

"I didn't see anyone on the street when I went out. I guess he didn't come out of the box. I was worried about your danger and climbed up from below." Zhang Hengdao.

"Climb up!"?! You mean you just climbed up? There's no ladder or anything nearby Holmes rubbed his neck and said, "have you ever been in a circus before?"

"Even so, if you're OK, I'll go after someone." Zhang Hengdao.

"Go, I'll lie down a little longer, and I'll be there soon." Holmes gasped.

Zhang Heng rushed out of the box, but saw that the guy who looked like a waiter didn't leave immediately. Instead, he ran outside the box where the prime minister was. He didn't know what he said to the guards there. Then he saw two of them pounce on Zhang Heng fiercely.
