"Then slow down, the original is very precious, the content recorded in it can't be shown to people casually, I spent a lot of money to get the things in hand, let you translate them as they are, it's equivalent to giving it to you for free, I'm not so generous...... At this time, today's secret report should have arrived, go to the door and take a look. ”

As a detective, you have to pay attention to hot cases or strange phenomena in Pston every day, and the news agencies in Pston have their own concerns, such as the Pston Economic Daily, which caters to businessmen, and the manager of the bookstore reads it.

As for this strange newspaper, it is a unique newspaper published by the People's Newspaper in Pston, which can be said to be specially designed to capture the interest of young people, and most of the pages on it are published on recent cases in Pston City and strange phenomena in the city, and it is also in the form of serialization, conducting a series of in-depth investigations into a certain phenomenon.

Even if there's nothing going on, try to give you some suspense, I have to say it's really attractive.

Donald picked up the rolled newspaper from the carpet in the doorway and spread it out, revealing a black figure of a detective in the center of the page with the headline: Unsolved Cases.

No wonder Sherlock subscribed to this newspaper, which is divided into three sections, each of which discusses three recent cases in the time of Pston.

The case of the disappearance of a young girl, the theft of jewelry, and the murder of a street are also attached to some readers' opinions, which are generally discussions, and at the top is a very confident inference, which directly gives some characteristics of the murderer......

This inference should have been deliberately placed at the top by the newspaper, because whether the reader was right or not, his very confident argument would itself provoke discussion, and the argument between the two groups would become a hot topic.

Once the hot spot is formed, the next thing is to use the results to prove themselves right, so that the sales of newspapers will also rise.

"Sherlock, have you been reading the Secret News?"

"yes, I'm not interested in politics or economics or anything like that, that's my job, and it's a record of a lot of strange events in the city of Preston lately, and sometimes there may be people asking for help in this area, and I need to know a rough idea. ”

As a private detective, you can't pull down this aspect of intelligence.

"What about these cases, don't you pay attention?"

Donald thought he would care more about those cases, such as tracking down the killer privately and then handing it over to the police in exchange for pay and fame.

"You don't understand this, like this kind of case where the newspaper can know the details, it is never a big case, a really serious case, how can the police department let them know the development of the case, that is to make trouble for themselves. ”

Picking out the bizarre phenomena section of the newspaper, Donald was tempted to ask Sherlock for a newspaper from some time ago, but it was still working hours.

In the huge living room, one reads the newspaper and the other interprets, and the two of them do their own business, and the gramophone in the living room plays soothing music.

"Where does the money come from when it's so free......"

Just as Donald began to berate Sherlock for reading the newspaper and listening to music all morning, the bell rang in the entrance, and Donald, as an assistant, hurriedly got up to open the door.

"Is Mr. Detective at home?"

A middle-aged man wearing a brown tweed coat and a somewhat obese figure stood outside, constantly wiping the sweat on his face with a handkerchief, today's temperature should only be more than 20, sweating to this extent, coupled with the panicked look on his face, there should be something to come to the door.

"Mr. Charlotte Swift is inside. ”

Get out of the way, and the man trotted into the house.

"I need you to help me investigate the whereabouts of a piece of jewelry, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!"

"My store will open tomorrow, the invitations have been sent out, without that batch of jewelry, I will not have the face to open tomorrow!"

"If you help me find the jewels by tomorrow morning, 10 gold pounds...... No!15 gold pounds!"

Without even an introduction to their identities, the middle-aged man's series of words made both of them a little confused, and Donald noticed that Sherlock took a step back, as if avoiding the spittle that the man spewed out because of his emotion, and as if he was a little ...... Not confident enough, but he steadied himself.

"How much is the loss, did you call the police?"

Pulling his clothes down, Sherlock's tone was filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

"I haven't carefully calculated the amount of loss, if I call the police, what are I looking for you? In order to protect my reputation, at least until the opening tomorrow, I will not tell anyone about it, and I will not call the police until I have not found it when I open the door, and even if you find it before the police, the reward will no longer be 15 gold pounds, only 5 gold pounds!"

"So what are you waiting for, let's go, Donald, you too, a time-limited theft, this is a good chance to become famous. ”

Rather than being paid a lot of money, Sherlock is more focused on the reputation he can gain after completing such cases.

Donald realized at this point that he seemed to have been misled by the impressions left over from his past life, and Sherlock had hired him, plus the translation of the material that was said to have cost him a great deal of money...... Where did he get so much money?

Puzzled, but now was not the time to think about these things, and quickly gathered his thoughts, Donald sorted out the translation documents a little, and followed Sherlock out into the jeweler's carriage.

Elder Able, the jeweler's name, asked for some details before heading to the scene of the crime, and Donald took out a small notebook and began to record it, which made Sherlock's eyes look appreciative.

Such an assistant is worry-free.

"Where's the theft?"

"The warehouse at home has a triple lock, and the key is in my hand, and I have taken a shower and toilet with me for the past two days! But when I entered the warehouse this morning to inspect it, the things were gone!"

By drawing inferences, this client can be said to be very cooperative.

"You mean the lock isn't broken, is there a secret door or window in the warehouse, or is it a tunnel you don't know. ”

"The lock is not broken, it hasn't even been opened! The warehouse is next to the kitchen on the first floor of my house, the whole family is watching, there is a small window in that room, which is used for ventilation, but then I would have people welded to death with an iron fence, even cats can't get through, let alone people, and there are tunnels in the secret door...... I don't think so, but I can't be sure, I haven't looked for it carefully. ”

Sherlock pursed his lips, if what this jeweler said was true, so many jewels disappeared out of thin air?
