Holmes came back at dusk. He rushed into the room without saying a word, and after a while the violent sound of violin came out of his bedroom. He ignored the audience ’s feelings, probably After tormenting the ears of the people outside for a full quarter of an hour, I just let it go. I put down the violin satisfactorily, and then I told Zhang Hengdao aside. I got too much useful information and I could n’t talk about it. "

"Exactly, I also want to tell you that I may not be able to go at night." Zhang Heng took out the two opera tickets. "A friend gave me two tickets and asked me to see her performance at night."

"Ha, is there a new opera at the Queen's Theatre?" Holmes' eyes were as usual, "Do you have any companions?"

"You know, I just arrived in London not long ago, I'm not familiar with it, and I don't have any acquaintances, so ..."

"That's a coincidence, and I'm planning to go to the Queen's Theatre tonight," Holmes laughed.

"Apart from your interest in violin, do you also like opera?"

"I like opera very much, but tonight is not just for opera." Holmes said, "we want to catch that Mr. M, we must know who his goal is, he has been active in France before, suddenly big It's obviously impossible for a small business to travel all the way to London. "

"So do you have scope?"

"Well, I went to visit a few friends this afternoon, sorted out a list, and ranked them in order from top to bottom, all of whom he might follow. Although he hasn't started yet, but if I were him, I should I have already started to study the target. It happens that the people on my list who are number one and three will appear at the Queen's Theatre tonight. There is a relationship between me and the theater's chief makeup artist. I wanted to ask him to help me get it. Go in, but it's best to have a ticket in your hand now. "

After dinner, Holmes and Zhang Heng changed into dresses.

Sherlock Holmes picked up the stubble and cleaned it up. The whole man looked a lot more energetic. With his hawk nose and resolute facial lines, although it may still not be a beautiful man, it is definitely not ugly.

Then Holmes picked a cane as a handle and rosewood as a cane, and at the same time, Zhang Hengdao, "My oriental friend, you have money now, and you should buy a cane that suits you."

Zhang Heng probably doesn't understand the crazy love of European men with sticks. In the so-called gentleman class in London, few people do not have canes, and generally there is more than one. For example, walking a dog in the morning, they will take a full wooden cane to go out. In the evening It will be replaced with a silver cane, and the rich man will hold the cane with a golden cane at the dinner.

In addition, there are also special canes for similar occasions such as office and opera. At the time when everyone was the most embarrassed and in debt, Balzac did not hesitate to drop 700 francs and bought an agate stone. Luxury canes, this consumer desire has already exploded most of the chopsticks party, and even today, it seems to be a little bit like selling kidney to buy apples.

However, it is always a virtue of Zhang Heng to enter the country.

The 19th century was probably also the golden age of walking sticks, and even many famous jewelry brands could not help but share a piece. Tiffany and Cartier both have corresponding canes launched. Zhang Hengdu's canes of these brands are not very interested. In addition to their high prices, but also because Zhang Heng's selection criteria are different from most people. In addition to their identity, It can also be used as a self-defense weapon when necessary.

Therefore, Zhang Heng paid more attention to the weight and sturdiness of the cane. As a weapon rather than an appearance, he planned to visit the thrift market tomorrow.

When the two arrived at the Queen's Theatre, half an hour before the show began. The results of Eileen Adler's ticket were very good, right in the middle of the second row. As for Holmes's several goals, they were in the box on the second floor.

Zhang Heng also knew that one of them was the Marquis of Salisbury, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Before the show, he was stricken with stomachs and cigars and walked into the box accompanied by several people.

Holmes is also watching the people on the list, or more precisely the people around the Prime Minister, but so far he hasn't found anything.

As the audience entered the venue one after another, the theater's lights dimmed, the music sounded, and the curtain slowly opened.

In the last two minutes before the opera began, Zhang Heng said to Holmes, "I want to understand."

"Well, what do you want to understand?"

"Want to know where the oil painting is."

"Oh?" Holmes smiled, "speak and listen."

"The point is that the canvas of the oil painting disappears, but the frame remains in the room," Zhang Heng analyzed. "This is also a place I was a little surprised before. Taking the painting directly is comparable to taking the painting off the frame and then It is much easier to take away, so my previous inference has problems ~ www.novelhall.com ~ If the housekeeper and the maid are conspiring, then the former can bring the painting out and it can be placed in the latter first, but the maid still has the painting It was taken down, indicating that the housekeeper did not have any suspicion in this matter. She did this to facilitate the hiding of the painting. Since she was not searched by body search, the painting was not hidden on her, so there was only one left. Maybe, the painting is still in the room.

"Many people have a misunderstanding. It seems that Mr. M has to get something in order to lose the owner, but in fact he does not need to do this step. There is a simpler way, as long as the other party thinks he stole the target. The items are fine. This is also the effect of the seemingly arrogant title letter. After getting up in the morning, the Viscount found that the oil painting was missing, and at the same time, a letter of Mr. M was left on the ground. It seems logical that Mr. M stole the oil painting. "

"Yes," Sherlock Holmes applauded. "It does not rule out that some criminals deliberately disrupt the scene, but most of the time the criminals leave behind everything with purpose, especially this savvy old thief. Like an artist, he hardly adds extra strokes to an already perfect painting ... Well, if you go further, I ask you where the oil painting is hidden in the room, you Can it be reasoned out? "

"In the porcelain vase," Zhang Heng said decisively. "Vial is indeed a conscientious detective. He collected more information and basically turned every corner of the room. Only That porcelain bottle, I looked at the portrait on the notebook. The bottle mouth of that porcelain bottle is very small, but the belly is big. If you put the oil painting into the bottle, it will not be found from above. "
