"Amazing reasoning." "Your talent, as I have said," said Holmes, "is marvellous in your talents, my friend of the East, and I cannot even find a fitting word to describe your intellect." ”

He wanted to say more, but the next moment the music was playing, so Holmes retracted into his seat, crossed his fingers, put his knees together, and prepared himself to enjoy the show.

The new opera, entitled Carmen, was written a year before the death of a Frenchman and a talented Frenchman at the age of thirty-seven, and tells the story of a love tragedy that takes place in the city of Seville, Spain.

Carmen, a beautiful gypsy girl who is as unrestrained as a bird, works as a female worker in a tobacco factory, and the military squad leader Don José is fascinated by her, and does not hesitate to give up his lover in the countryside - the gentle and kind Micaella, and then violates military discipline and lets go of Carmen who fought with the female worker without permission, and when José is released from prison, he simply joins Carmen's smuggling gang, but in the days that followed, there was still a conflict between the two young lovers, Carmen empathized and fell in love with the bullfighter Escamillio, While the crowd cheered for Escamillio's victory over the bull, Carmen died at Don José's dagger.

Love and destruction are the main themes of this opera.

Unlike previous operas with heroes or mythological characters as the protagonists, "Carmen" has to be said to be a bold attempt to feature female workers and low-level officers, which is why Erin Adler dressed as a gypsy entertainer to find inspiration in the East End.

The latter was dressed in a red dress and attracted the attention of all the audience as soon as he appeared.

Tonight she was more radiant than ever, and she had an uninhibited temperament, and the 3/8 aria she sang when she seduced Don José was also the climax of the first act.

However, just when everyone was intoxicated by her singing voice and posture, Holmes patted Zhang Heng's shoulder and said in a low voice, "There is a situation, we have to act." ”

The two got up from their seats, leaned down, and crept into the side aisle.

Holmes said, "See the waiter in the box on the second floor?" ”

"Uh-huh."

"He's the one who delivers fruit plates to the boxes, and this position should have been fixed, but it was changed 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, and catching him can at least let us know who Mr. M is targeting this time." Sherlock Holmes Road.

But the next moment, I saw that the waiter's gaze also fell on the two of them, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"He seems to ...... Noticed us. Zhang Heng said.

“…… It looks like this. Sherlock Holmes also said.

Then I saw the waiter throw away the tray in his hand, turn his head and rush towards a private room not far away.

"Let's go our separate ways, I'll go up."

"Then I'll get 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 top of the staircase obviously made several of the guards at the Prime Minister's box nervous, but then Holmes was seen rushing into the next box.

Pushing open the door, there was a mess on the table inside, and at the same time the windows were wide open, food and wine glasses were swaying, and a merchant-like man was hugging his wife and daughter, and the family of three was shivering.

Holmes did not stop, and stepped on the ledge with his left foot, but then his expression moved, and he noticed that as he was about to leave, the frightened look of the family of three was not only not alleviated, but showed signs of intensifying.

Holmes immediately realized that the target he was chasing was likely to be in the box.

However, this time his opponent was also very decisive, seeing that he stopped, he rolled out of his seat decisively, and stabbed Holmes in the shin with the knife in his hand, who blocked the blow with his cane, shaking the dagger away, but then the target jumped up from the ground and hugged Holmes's body, and the two fell backwards together.

The scene was chaotic, accompanied by the screams of the hostess, but at this time the music was at its peak, masking the commotion.

Sherlock Holmes's boxing skills could not be used in such a small space, and at the same time, his head had just accidentally hit something, the waiter-like man rode on top of him, pinching his neck, making his breathing more and more difficult, he reached out to reach the cane that had fallen to the side, but was noticed by the other party, and stretched out his leg and kicked the cane to the side.

So Holmes could only hope that the family of three watching the excitement next to him could help him.

After a short stunned moment, the man was the first to react, pushed open the door of the box, and ran out with his wife and daughter, without even putting on his coat.

"Great, you've been a great help." Holmes squeezed the words out between his teeth.

He could only use his best efforts to break the hands around his neck.

Although Holmes looked thin, his strength was not bad, but tonight he clearly met his opponent. The other party's strength is stronger than him, but he has no room to swim now.

Holmes only felt that his breathing was getting harder and harder, and the strength in his hands was getting smaller and smaller.

Just as his vision was about to blur, a figure rolled in through the window and kicked the waiter in the ribs, sending him flying straight out and falling into the hallway.

Sherlock Holmes, who had escaped from the trap, greedily breathed in the fresh air that he had not seen for a long time, and asked Zhang Heng, "Am I already dead, otherwise why would you be here?" ”

"I didn't see anyone on the street when I went out, I guess he was still in the box and didn't come out, so I climbed up from below for fear that you were in danger." Zhang Hengdao.

"Climbed up?! You mean just climbed up? There was no ladder or anything beside it. Sherlock Holmes rubbed his neck, looking incredulous, "Have you ever been in a circus before?" ”

"Even if it's okay, I'll chase someone if you're okay." Zhang Hengdao.

"Go ahead, 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 waiter-looking guy did not leave immediately, but ran outside the box where the prime minister was, and he didn't know what he said to the guards there, so he saw two of them rushing towards Zhang Heng with a fierce momentum.
