Holmes decided not to tell the prime minister what happened tonight.
Zhang Heng has no objection to this, but Villar wants to say something. He always feels that it's not very gentlemanly. It's equivalent to using the prime minister as bait. However, because he's not British, he doesn't speak very well in this kind of thing, so in the end Holmes got what he wanted.
Beck street team was called again. In addition, Sherlock Holmes took part in the battle himself. During the day, he made up to be a shoemaker, set up a booth near the prime minister's house, and at night, he pretended to be a drunk by the roadside.
As a result, two days later, he made four shillings repairing shoes, but still did not see the shadow of Prussians.
Sherlock Holmes himself is not in a hurry. He only sleeps three hours a day, but he looks energetic and in the mood to play the violin in his spare time.
As for Zhang Heng and vyar, they are not idle. They are also in London pubs and boxing rings these days. They want to use this method to continue looking for targets. However, like Holmes, they have nothing to gain. At the same time, on the morning of the third day, Zhang Heng also got an unexpected news that Holmes was arrested.
Zhang Heng and viar saw Mr. detective in the police station. The latter was sitting on a bench, holding his chin. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhang Heng was released on bail, and the police released Holmes.
Holmes took the shoe brush and tool box from the police officer and walked out of the police station without saying a word.
Zhang Heng and viar are a little worried about Holmes, and they are afraid that the latter will have something to think of. However, after Holmes got into the carriage, he suddenly laughed, "interesting, it seems that this time I really underestimated my opponent."
"Well?"
"It's a shame to say that," said Holmes. "I haven't been in such a mess for a long time. I was going to mark people, but I was found and beaten. Someone told the police patrolling in that street that a suspicious person was found outside the prime minister's office, and then I was arrested by the police. Although I had something to do with the police station, I didn't know what happened As far as the prime minister is concerned, the police can't release me immediately. They can only let you bail me out. "
"They recognize your disguise?"
"It's better to say that it was a trap from the beginning," Holmes said. "I can now be sure that we were targeted. It should be that after the night of the theatre, we were trying to find out the Prussian according to the information at hand, but the opposite side was obviously feeling our bottom, and had to admit that they did a good job in this matter. It seems that they already know We know where we live and what I do, so this time our action is under surveillance, and today's event seems to be their warning to me. "
"Warning?"
"Yes, it seems that they don't want me to interfere in this matter any more." But it also indicates that we are approaching the truth
"I'm sorry to interrupt," said the red haired detective, scratching his head. "Did I leave something behind? We haven't got nothing these two days. Why are we suddenly approaching the truth?"
"I don't know yet, but we must have done something to make them nervous by accident these days, so I was thinking about it before you came." Said Holmes.
Holmes felt his pocket and found that his pipe was not in it because he had changed his clothes.
Villar quickly took out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket and handed Holmes one with both hands.
"Don't worry, let me think about it again." Holmes smoked.
As Holmes continued to ponder, Zhang Heng was also recalling what had happened in recent days to see if there was anything left out. Then the two of them gave a whisper at almost the same time.
"Have you found anything?" Villar is now more curious than anyone, hoping to get into the head of Zhang Heng and Sherlock Holmes.
"Are you thinking about what I was thinking?" Holmes asked Zhang Heng.
The latter looked at Villar, "you said that Mr. M's previous cases were all done in France, that is to say, he is very likely to be a French."
"Well Yes, that's right. "
"And Carmen is a French opera."
“…… There's no problem The redhead detective raised his eyebrows. "So?"
"Carmen first premiered in Paris, then came to London, and Mr. m also happened to be in London at this time." Zhang Heng said, "can this be accidental?"
"Wait, are you implying that Mr. m is related to the opera company?"
"That explains why the opposite side is so nervous." Zhang Hengdao.
"Because we showed up at the theatre that night," Holmes said. "The other people thought we might be close to Mr. M."
"I'll go to miss Adler now and see who's French in the company, and it's only during this time that I've arrived in London." Zhang Heng said decisively.
Half an hour later, Zhang Heng came to Eileen Adler's house. After Zhang Heng reported his name, the nanny opened the door and asked him to sit down in the living room. At this time, the sound of piano came from the second floor."Miss Adler is practicing. Please wait a moment." Said the nurse.
"All right." Zhang Heng sat down on the sofa. The nanny made black tea for him. About a quarter of an hour later, the piano stopped and the female singer came down the stairs.
"Look who's here. You're a rare guest, Mr. Zhang Heng." Irene Adler, wearing a white dress today, looks like a lily in full bloom.
With Irene Adler's intelligence, Zhang Heng did not hide the meaning, directly told her everything.
The singer's face showed a sudden color, "I see. You left that night because of this case."
"I hope Miss Adler won't be offended."
"Irene, just call me Irene." "How can I blame someone who works hard to improve the law and order in London?" said the singer
"Strictly speaking, the job is unpaid." Zhang Heng said, "so maybe it's more appropriate to call it interest."
"That's more admirable, isn't it?" Eileen said, she paused, sat down opposite Zhang Heng and poured herself a cup of black tea.
"The person you are looking for really exists. He is the French consultant of the troupe. Before the rehearsal stage, the contact with the troupe was usually by telegram. But this premiere in London is very important, so he came from France. I don't like that guy very much. Although he looks very modest on the surface, I can see that he is not really in the heart Chang is very proud. He doesn't pay attention to other people, especially women. Of course, he does a good job in flirting, but it's a pity that he is not as smart as he thinks
