The case of Agatha's disappearance
Previous words: This is an outer story, which is also a collection of short stories, and the reason for this one comes from Agatha's disappearance after a failed marriage.
"What? Agatha Christie is missing! Inspector Jap exclaimed in surprise.
"When?" After Inspector Jap stabilized, he picked up the phone and asked.
An intermittent answer came from the other end of the phone: "Last night, ohยทยท That's right, it was last night. Her servant said that he had seen her last night and that when he brought her food this morning, he found that she was gone. โ
"Okay, you protect the scene, I'll go over right away." Inspector Jap put down the phone and walked out of the police department.
Agatha Christie, if you ask the British who Agatha Christie is, they will laugh at you.
What the? You don't even know who Agatha Christie is?
That famous detective family, Agatha Christie, who was named the Queen of Detectives.
In the car, Jap thought about the famous detective, the detective queen who helped him a lot.
How did she come missing? It's incredible.
Inspector Jap, who came to Agatha Christie's house, searched her home carefully, but found nothing.
Where will she go?
"You send out the news right away, and all the media you can use, make sure you find Agatha Christie." Jap commanded his deputy.
The deputy took the order, immediately found the major media, and started to hype it.
A day later, the whole of Britain knew that Agatha Christie was missing.
But a few days later, no one came to the report, and the police had no clues.
Inspector Jap is in a hurry and can't find Agatha Christie, which is not only a loss for the English literary world, but also a misfortune for their police community.
Inspector Jap sat in his chair with a sad face.
Jingle bellยทยทยทยท
"Come in." Jap sat up and said.
I saw a lady come in, and she walked to the chair in front of Jap and sat down.
"What do you have..."
Before Inspector Jap could finish speaking, the lady hurriedly said, "Something, I know how to find Agatha Christie." โ
When Inspector Jap heard this, he was overjoyed, and he stood up excitedly and asked, "How do you find it?" โ
The lady looked excited, and said proudly, "You remember Sir Doyle Conan." That Doyle Conan, who wrote a lot of detectives. โ
When Jap heard this, he suddenly woke up. "How did I forget about him?"
"Come on, go to Sir Doyle Conan's mansion right away."
Inspector Jap was thinking about Sir Doyle Conan in the car, his image was still deeply imprinted in his mind, tall, somewhat thin, but unusually strong, with a pipe in his mouth and a smoke ring from time to time.
The car stopped in front of Dole Conan's mansion.
Inspector Jap handed over his business card and waited at the door.
In a few moments a servant ushered them into the house.
The room was full of smoke rings, which choked Inspector Jaap's violent cough, and when Inspector Jap got used to the smell, Sir Doyle Conan got up from his chair and shook hands with Jaap, and said loudly, "Inspector Jap hasn't seen you for a long time?" How can you think of me today? It won't be for Agatha Christie's business. (.la good-looking)"
"Haha, it's for her business. The police department did their best, but there was no clue at all. โ
"So you're going to invite me?"
"Yes! I hope that Sir will give in. โ
"Okay, I'll go. After all, Agatha Christie and I are friends. โ
Inspector Jap led Doyle Conan to search Agatha Christie's house.
"What did Sir discover?" Jap asked anxiously.
Doyle Conan thought for a moment, looked at Inspector Jap and smiled, and said, "Have you forgotten those real detectives?" โ
"A real detective?"

sherlock holmes
Watson got out of bed and found that Holmes hadn't gotten up yet. He was always like this, and when he was fine, he could sleep until noon and not get out of bed.
Watson himself ate some homemade omelettes, drank a glass of milk, picked up the newspaper and read it, but Holmes had not yet gotten up.
A piece of news caught Watson's attention: the famous British female detective writer Agatha Christie is missing, if anyone has seen her, or if someone has a clue, please go to the police station to provide it.
"Sherlock Holmes, wake up! Breaking news. โ
Holmes rubbed his eyes, sat up and said, "I already know, Agatha Christie is missing, look at this." Holmes handed Watson a letter and lay down again.
Watson opened the envelope, and the handwriting was beautiful, apparently the handwriting of a woman.
The letter said that she was a friend of Agatha's and that she hoped to visit Sherlock Holmes this afternoon, and that she would write back if she could.
"You replied."
"Yes! She came in the afternoon. โ
Watson was fine all morning, and finally waited until the afternoon for Holmes to get up.
Sherlock Holmes had just finished breakfast, if I may. Then he heard a knock at the door.
Watson went to open the door, and saw a graceful and elegant lady, and asked politely, "Is Holmes at home?" โ
"Hello at home, I'm Watson, Holmes' assistant."
"I've heard of you, and you've helped Holmes solve a lot of cases." Watson was a little pleased, this lady was very discerning.
Watson invited her into the house and gave her a seat.
"You're coming by train." Holmes said before the lady did.
The lady was surprised and said, "How do you know?" โ
"Because you have the back half of a return ticket in your glove. And after getting off the bus, there is a horse-drawn carriage here. โ
"Oh?" The woman was even more surprised. "You saw me in the window."
"No, I just noticed that you have some mud spots on your sleeves, in this day and age, most people ride in cars, and only people who ride in horse-drawn carriages are splashed with mud spots. Well, let's explain your purpose in detail! Although you said it in the letter, it is not clear. โ
"Do you know Agatha Christie? Oh, you must know, there is not a single Englishman who does not know Agatha. โ
".la [marshmallow]," Holmes said.
"Yes, and I, as her friend, feel compelled to do something for her? That's why I thought of you, Detective Holmes. โ
"So you want me to help you find your friends?" Sherlock Holmes lit his pipe, took a puff and said.
"That's right, I'd like you to go there and have a look."
"Okay, I'll be there in the afternoon."
When Watson had sent the graceful lady away, he looked back to see that Holmes was already packing his things.

Herculipol,
Sitting in his comfortable rocking chair, Herculi Poirot said to Hastings, "Inspector Japp is going to treat us to afternoon tea this afternoon, so you need to dress up." โ
"I can't compare to your mustache that is the best in Britain or even in the world!" Hastings smiled modestly.
"Hastings, your biggest problem is that you don't know how to keep a low profile, but you say that my beard is also true." Poirot wanted to be modest, apparently unsuccessful.
"Why did our old friend suddenly remember to invite us to tea?"
"Jap must be in trouble." Poirot said.
In Japp's garden.
"Haha, you're finally here." Jap stood up to welcome Poirot and Black Stings and hugged them.
Poirot stroked his upturned beard, sat down and said, "How did an old friend remember to invite me to tea?" โ
"Haha, I can't hide anything from you. Agatha is missing, you already know it. โ
"The Agatha who put my story in the book is missing? I really didn't know that I had just come back from India and was invited to tea by you. When did this happen? โ
"It's been a week and our police department has found nothing."
"So you want to ask me to find Agatha."
"Yes."
"Of course, I'll help you. I'll always help you. And I need to find Agatha, who shined me on top of the world. โ

Miss Jane Marple
In the morning in this quiet little village, the birds are already chirping to start their day's work.
Miss Jane Marple lay on the hospital bed.
The nurse came in to change her dressing.
"Any interesting news lately?"
The nurse liked this nagging but funny old lady very much, and knew that she was very talented for detectives and cases.
"Yes! Agatha Christie is missing. And I heard that the police sent 500 detectives, brought police dogs, and dispatched planes to conduct a large-scale search in the bushes, and even Doyle Conan was invited. But he only smiled and left. โ
"Missing, how could she be missing? Bring me my yarn. โ

Sherlock Holmes's investigation
In the afternoon, Watson and Holmes took the train to Agatha Christie's house.
This is really a luxurious villa, and the garden is full of all kinds of flowers, which bloom like flowers.
The servant led them to a careful search of the house.
In Agatha's bedroom, the quilts were neatly stacked, showing no signs of kidnapping or any other possession, and there was a train watch on the bed, which Holmes picked up and looked at, and found that two pages had been torn.
"What day did your master disappear?" Holmes asked.
"April 6th."
Holmes looked at the train meter, then put it down, and looked around the bedroom again. The ashtray on the table was covered with soot, and there were cigarette butts scattered next to the bed, and a pair of slippers were scattered around. The outward-facing windows were closed.
"Where the hell has my friend Agatha gone? Does Mr. Holmes have a clue? The graceful lady asked Holmes.
"Yes, we'll see the results in a week." With that, Holmes left Agatha's villa.

Herculi Poirot's inquiry
Inspector Jap fills Poirot's favorite tea and waits for Poirot's inquiry.
Inspector Jap has become accustomed to Poirot's detective methods.
"The real work is always done here. Small gray brain cells, remember to remember, they all rely on small gray brain cells! My friend. โ
Poirot is always like this, small gray brain cells, the key to solving problems.
"Has Agatha been out of the ordinary lately?" Poirot asked, then patted him on the shoulder. Although there is no dust on it.
"Hearing from her servant that her husband had a lover and was divorcing her struck a blow."
"That's for sure, any woman being defeated by other women is a heavy blow." Poirot said accidentally.
When did Poirot know so much about women, Hastings thought to herself. Remembering that Poirot is still not married, I can't help but laugh out loud.
Poirot glanced at Black Stins, as if to tell him, I know whatever you want.
Hastings hurriedly asked, "And did Agatha agree to the divorce?" โ
"She agreed, Hastings." Inspector Jap replied.
"Who went to look for her on the night she disappeared? Or what phone call was received? โ
"No one has approached her, and since her husband has asked for a divorce from her, she has refused all entertainment and has not allowed any friends to visit."
"What about the phone? Did she take anyone's calls? โ
"Phone? She hadn't answered anyone's phone calls, but according to her servant, after dinner, she made a phone call, as if to ask her lawyer to transfer a sum of money to an account. โ
"So did you check that account? Who is it for? โ
"Checked, but, that's her own account."
"Her own account? How could he send money to his account? Hastings asked.
Poirot is lost in thought, and Dark Stings and Jap are drinking tea, not wanting to disturb Poirot.
Suddenly, Poirot opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Poirot, do you know where Agatha is?" Hastings asked anxiously.
"I don't know."

End Result.
Miss Jane Marple was leaning on the bed with her sweater on the side of the book, and the kind nurse came to relieve her.
"Miss Marple, do you know where Agatha is?" The nurse asked curiously.
"I don't know, but you don't have to worry about Agatha, she'll be fine."
"How do you know?" The nurse was even more weird.
Miss Jane Marple handed her the book, which was Ben Agatha Christie's. The nurse took the book and flipped through it casually.
"Because of this book, I knew she must be fine."
"This book?"
"Agatha used to say: Everything in the world is illusory, and only love is eternal. This shows that she is a person who loves life very much, so you don't have to worry about her not being able to think about it. โ
"But it's possible that someone kidnapped him?"
"If that were the case, the police wouldn't have sent police dogs to search the bushes."
On the train, Watson kept wondering, why didn't Holmes continue to look for Agatha? He has never given up until he has achieved his goal! What else do you say about seeing the results in a week.
"Are you doubting what I'm saying?" Holmes asked.
"Why do you say you're going to wait a week? You are not afraid, and Agatha is no longer there by then. โ
"Did you notice the ashtray on the table and the cigarette butts under the bed?"
"What happened to the ashtray and cigarette butts?"
"Nothing? It just shows that Agatha smoked a lot of cigarettes on the night she disappeared. โ
"Smoked a lot? Oh, she's upset? โ
"Yes, she's annoyed. Then you can see that her slippers are very messy, but the windows are closed, and the quilt is neatly folded. โ
"Noticed. So what does that mean? โ
"You and I have noticed many things, but I can see through things to the essence, and you should use your ingenuity, Watson." Holmes replied: "That means that she left in a hurry, but she did not forget to close the window, then she must have gone by herself." I'm willing to go. โ
"But maybe she can't think about it, or do something dangerous?"
"No, it won't."
"Won't?"
"Because of the train meter, I looked at it, and the missing page was the train meter for the night Agatha disappeared."
"It shows that she has thought it through and has a goal in mind."
"That's right, so she'll be back in a week."
"How do you know it's a week from now?"
"Because the second page that was torn off was the train watch in a week."
Japp's Garden.
"Don't know? Then you seem to already know the answer. โ
"Yes, I got the answer. Agatha won't have an accident, old friend, and withdraw all the detectives who have been sent. โ
"Why?"
"Agatha just wants to go out and get out of the misfortune of divorce."
"Oh?"
"She sent the money to her own account, which means that where she went costs money, and she didn't want people to know where she went, so she transferred the account."
Postscript: See Agatha Christie again.
A week later, major British media reported that Agatha Christie had returned to London.
