Zhang Heng briefly dealt with the skin injuries on his body, and then returned to the Queen's Theater and sat back in his seat.

At this time, the opera was also coming to an end.

In the square outside the bullfighting arena, Escamillo and Carmen walked into the arena with their heads held high in the crowd, while Carmen remained outside the arena, when a ragged Don José approached her and begged to be reunited, but Carmen remained indifferent while cheers were heard in the arena.

Escamillio defeated the bull, and the delighted Carmen took off the ring that Don José had given her and threw it on the ground, wanting to rush into the arena to share the joy with her lover, but in despair, Don José pulled out the dagger that had been prepared from his arms and stabbed Carmen, waiting until the crowd walked out of the arena and saw Carmen in a pool of blood.

Don José shouted, "I killed her, Carmen, my dear Carmen!" ”

At this point, the whole play came to an end.

Then all the cast members of the crew walked onto the stage, the lights came on, and the theater burst into thunderous applause, and there was no doubt that the first performance of Carmen in London was an unprecedented success.

Zhang Heng also stood up and applauded with the people around him.

When the performance ended, Zhang Heng came backstage again to congratulate Erin Adler.

And the place was already surrounded by congratulators, and even the Prime Minister's wife walked down.

Zhang Heng didn't compete with the people inside, and stood quietly to the side, until everyone was almost gone, and then walked in, Erin Adler's dressing table was already surrounded by flowers, because it really couldn't be put down, even the position next to it was stuffed, on the other hand, the others only had a few bouquets of flowers.

"I now know how much Londoners like you." Zhang Hengdao.

"Yes, it's a pity you're not from London, and I saw you leave halfway through." Erin Adler said.

"Uh...... My friend and I are in a bit of a hurry to deal with. ”

"Well, you can see how urgent you are." Adler raised his eyebrows and pointed to Zhang Heng's dress, "You look terrible, you're about to catch up with Don Jose in the play." ”

"Actually, I just went to the barbershop."

"I can see that their service is rude enough, give me the name of the barbershop and I'll avoid it in the future." The singer laughed.

“…………”

As someone who has read the original book, Zhang Heng will of course be wary of Erin Adler, but it must be admitted that the latter is indeed a very charming person, no wonder it will make the King of Bohemia unforgettable.

And strictly speaking, that case was also the king's mistake first, abandoning Adler for his own status and marrying a Scandinavian princess, which led to the subsequent photo gate, judging from Holmes's attitude, he himself was actually more inclined to female singers, and he was quite disdainful of what the king did.

That's why he only paid for Adler's picture when the incident was over, and refused the king's handshake.

Zhang Heng probably can also understand Holmes's appreciation for female singers, this is indeed a smart and interesting woman, so on the issue of how to treat Erin Adler, Zhang Heng finally chose to go with the flow, not deliberately alienated and not too eager.

As strong as Sherlock Holmes, he doesn't always fight alone, he has the Baker Street Squad, the connections he has accumulated when helping the police solve crimes, and he has friends in all walks of life, and if he wants to win the competition with him, Zhang Heng also needs the help of friends.

Erin Adler, one of only four to have beaten Sherlock Holmes, could be a good option.

"Although, although I am a little annoyed that you left the scene halfway, for the sake of your return at the end, this matter is offset, and besides, thank you for waiting outside the house to congratulate me, even though you didn't bring flowers." The singeress blinked.

…………

This night was a long night for many people, and when Zhang Heng returned to 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes did not fall asleep, but played with an Amazon blow arrow in his room with great interest.

Although he had just walked around the ghost gate, his spirit seemed to be even more excited.

As he himself said, the more difficult the problem will make him more energetic, on the contrary, the ordinary life is equivalent to murdering his life, seeing Zhang Heng enter the door, he said, "Interesting, you didn't send her home." ”

"I don't think our relationship is that good." Zhang Heng said, "And don't worry, me and her are not the kind of relationship you imagined." ”

"That's good, otherwise there will be one more mediocre person in love in this world, and a good detective will be lost." Sherlock Holmes Road.

"Did you get anything out of those barbers?" Zhang Heng did not continue this topic.

"I'm glad you remember our case, but unfortunately, as I guessed, they weren't affiliated with Mr. M's criminal gang, but I at least know who the guy who beat us up in the theater tonight was."

"He beat you, but I beat him, thank you." Zhang Heng corrected.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't make any difference to me, anyway, the guy's name is Carlson, according to himself he works in a gun factory, but these two pieces of information are eighty percent false, he and the barbers met while drinking, like I said, the Prussians in London are very fond of huddles, he ran into the barbershop and said that there were bad people chasing him, so the barbershop people hated each other and closed the door and fought with you."

"Wait, they don't really know that guy very well, so doesn't that mean you didn't ask anything?" Zhang Heng frowned.

"That's right, but fortunately, I fought him before, and my neck wasn't pinched for nothing."

"Huh?"

Sherlock Holmes put down the blow arrow in his hand, "That guy is extraordinary, his moves are simple and practical, especially the one that put me down, obviously joined the army, he is Prussian, I have told you before, in addition, he is also very gambling, I saw the watch on his right hand, the watch should be quite valuable, but there is a pawn ticket number on it, oh, this is the habit of London pawnshops, they will use the tip of a needle to engrave the ticket number on the back of the watch, this method is like hanging a sign, It can avoid the danger of losing or messing up the number, but it is difficult to see with the naked eye, I touched it when I was struggling, there are at least three numbers, which means that he has been a total of three times, but then redeemed it, which means that he will get a large sum of money every once in a while, so the question is, where does this money come from. ”

"Mr. M?"

"That's right, tomorrow we're going to the casino, I have a hunch that we're close to the main one." Sherlock Holmes Road.
