Chapter 237: A Little Injury
Baker Street Squad, one of Sherlock Holmes' killer features in the original books.
This is a group of unkempt street children, who have been co-opted by Sherlock Holmes and used to track their targets and gather intelligence, because of their age and identity, no one will be wary of them, they are like invisible people in the city, even if they swagger behind anyone without suspicion.
"Instead of letting them wander the streets every day, it's better to find something for them to do, don't underestimate them, sometimes one person is better than a dozen policemen, they can get in everywhere, and they can hear everything." Sherlock Holmes said so, and at the same time took out the violin on the side and asked Zhang Hengdao, "Anyway, we don't have anything to do after that, do you have any tunes you want to hear?" ”
"Please take care of yourself."
"Then Sarasati's Introduction and Tarantella." After Holmes finished speaking, he put the violin in his hand on his left collarbone and played it on his own.
Zhang Heng estimates that the violin level of Sherlock Holmes is about between lv1 and lv2, which is slightly worse than that of professional players, but ordinary people can't hear the difference.
Holmes then completely immersed himself in the sea of music, and Zhang Heng took this opportunity to look at the case record in his hand again.
To be fair, it's pretty much fun.
Especially considering that he had studied programming and communication for a long time in the last round of copies, at least now these cases are more interesting, especially since many of the newspaper clippings read like a sentimental article, and the plot twists and turns one by one.
Zhang Heng can understand why Holmes is so fond of solving crimes, this is like playing a crossword puzzle, you need to mobilize all your reserve knowledge and attention, and finding the answer itself can bring enough satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
Of course, Zhang Heng had more important things to do at the moment, and when Sherlock Holmes finished playing the violin, Zhang Heng asked the latter, "Do you have any ways to make money?" ”
"What, have you been short of money lately?" Sherlock Holmes raised his eyebrows, "For people who have sent half a quarter's rent as a deposit before they met, it is not a normal thing to be short of money." ”
"I said that an elder friend helped pay for the house after I found it, but in fact I didn't have much cash left." Zhang Heng's face did not change color.
After the copy began, Zhang Heng also checked his pocket, which was only about five pounds and seven shillings, although the rent had been paid in advance, and three meals a day could be eaten at home, but this money was obviously not enough to support his daily expenses.
Sherlock Holmes shrugged, "I'd love to hire you as my assistant and solve the case with me, we worked well together in the textile mill before, but I probably can't afford to pay your salary, otherwise I wouldn't have to find someone to share the apartment." ”
"I'm very interested in solving the case, so you don't have to pay me any salary, but now it seems that I'm going to find another job, and it's better not to take up too much of my time." Zhang Hengdao.
Although there is still a long time for the copy, it is not easy to win Sherlock Holmes, Zhang Heng is ready to devote himself to it, he actually doesn't have much need for money, as long as it is enough to spend, because no amount of money can bring out the copy.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Zhang Heng still has many ways to make money in this era, but most of them take a long time, and the most important thing is to explain the source of income to Sherlock Holmes.
"Hmm...... I really know a way to make money. Sherlock Holmes touched his chin, "I did it for a while, although it wasn't for the purpose of making money at the time, but it did bring me a lot of income, and it perfectly met your requirements, it won't take up any of your time, as long as you have time to spare a night, but ......"
Holmes paused at this point, "It's not easy to make money, you have to show me that you are capable of making it." ”
After saying that, he got up from the couch, "Come with me, no need to wear a hat or coat, we will be back soon." ”
The two walked out of 221B Baker Street and came to a vacant lot where there were no people, Sherlock Holmes stopped, turned to face Zhang Heng, and without saying a word, raised his fist and hit the latter.
Zhang Heng's reaction was also very fast, and he dodged the punch sideways.
"Not bad." Holmes praised, "I think you should have practiced martial arts in your figure and appearance, so it couldn't be better, and I won't stay there anymore." ”
As he spoke, he began to move his footsteps frequently, making it difficult to see where he would shoot next.
Zhang Heng still stood quietly in place, without any movement.
The next moment, Holmes gave up the temptation, and suddenly punched again, Zhang Heng stopped dodging, and reached out to block the punch, sure enough, both strength and speed were much stronger than the previous time.
"Good defense." Holmes was not surprised when he was blocked by the punch, and it was obvious that he seemed to be in high spirits, and he was aroused to be competitive, and then the whole person became more engrossed.
In all fairness, his punching power is not too outstanding, but the victory lies in the swiftness of his moves, clean and neat, and there is no showmanship, in a sense, he is very close to Zhang Heng's style.
However, Sherlock Holmes's boxing skills are at the top level of amateurism like his violin, which is enough for the detective industry, but there is still a lot of gap with Zhang Heng, who has spent more than ten years in life and death battles, even if Zhang Heng does not have a knife in hand now, his strength has been reduced to a certain extent, and he can avoid most of Holmes's attacks by relying on his body skills.
"I'm going to start fighting back." A minute later, Zhang Heng opened his mouth to remind.
Sherlock Holmes hesitated, in fact, he had already felt that Zhang Heng's strength was above him after the test, but this also made him more and more curious about what level the other party's level had reached, thinking that he had already achieved this step anyway, he might as well continue.
So five minutes later, Holmes covered his eyes and returned to his residence with Zhang Heng.
"Do you want me to find you some ointment to apply?" Zhang Heng asked.
"No, a little injury," Holmes said, "I was a lot harder to hit every day as a boxer. But when he said that, he realized that there seemed to be nothing to be proud of.
"In short, I can introduce you to a few underground boxing rings, but if you really plan to make money from this, you'd better let go of the water a little bit, don't win too easily, otherwise the game will lose suspense, and the dealer will not be able to do it."
