Chapter 166: 221B Baker Street
Set off on the way to Baker Street
Sherlock Holmes is really a little different from Zhong, and he will not give up, and he will pout and chatter next to Muguang.
Mu Guang walked forward, while quickly circulating the five gold coins in his hand between his fingers, and glanced at the Sherlock brother next to him with a smile:
"Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against by them after taking it?"
"No way, this is their ransom, if it is really embarrassing to retaliate against you for this, no one will do it."
Sherlock Holmes waved his hand, a little strange that Mu Guang didn't know this, but he continued:
"But that blonde boy does seem to have something to do with the nobility, but I think his father is an ordinary lord at best, or lower."
While speaking, looking at the wise eyes of Brother Sherlock, Mu Guang knew that he had begun to reason again, and sure enough, after a while, he heard Lao Fu start muttering:
"Freton... Freton. Oltov, silver badge, I remember, yes, yes, yes, a lucky guy who made his fortune in the butcher business and then entered the food industry. Then you don't have to worry about anything. ”
...
The closer you get to Baker Street
The surroundings are gradually bustling, and there are already some lampsmiths on the side of the road, ready to illuminate the coming darkness with lights.
The dark clouds, which had been gloomy, began to dissipate gradually after the arrival of the night.
The ground is not full of mud, but there are brick and stone paving, and the crosswalks on both sides are made of stone slabs.
Everywhere were middle-class commoners in high hats and more elaborate costumes, and occasionally the crunch of horse-drawn carriages passing by and horses' hooves on the masonry road could be heard.
Muguang and Sherlock's height can be said to be the best among the crowd, and the height of today's Europeans is actually not as tall as imagined.
Most men are about 1.6 meters tall, and women are shorter.
Not far away, soldiers with a height of five feet and four inches, or about one meter and sixty-two, could enter the forbidden army, which had just been unified by the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Even if the average person in the rich area is taller, but under Muguang's head of one meter and eight meters, he still looks like a dwarf.
And Princess Anne next to her is also 1.7 meters tall, and the two walk together very right, but they are frequently eye-catching.
After her initial panic and restraint, Her Royal Highness felt the atmosphere around her, relaxed a little, and began to look curiously at London in the heyday of her great-grandmother's rule.
Although she is a princess, Anne has never walked on the streets like this.
Girls selling flowers on the side of the road, children running around selling cigarettes with wooden boxes on the side of the street, and the bread baked in the bakery is not fluffy, let alone sweet.
Do you want to know why foreigners are so addicted to sweetness? The reason for this is because of the darkness of the Middle Ages, in fact, European and American countries only relied on plundering to quickly complete earth-shaking changes.
...
What is lacking and what is made up, the sweetness that could not be enjoyed before has become a symbol of luxury and wealth, and it has gradually continued to form a fixed food culture.
The greetings of the Chinese people are whether you have eaten or not, and when it comes to the citizens of London, the meeting must start with this damn weather.
Brother Sherlock was unexpectedly quite popular, and from time to time on the road, he could meet a few passers-by raising their hats to greet him: "The weather is fine today, Mr. Holmes... Are you in the wrong case again? ”
Similarly, Mu Guang, who dressed very differently from the people around them, also attracted a lot of curiosity, and often after these people greeted Brother Sherlock, the second sentence would be pulled to Mu Guang.
Brother Sherlock is always vague about this.
...
Speaking of this, Mu Guang actually had some doubts about Brother Sherlock's purpose in his heart.
Whether it is described in the book, or in various movies and TV series, this is a veritable detective Sherlock Holmes, and the most obvious label is intelligence and rigor.
Meticulous observation, always able to deduce a suitable answer through a small thing that is often overlooked, through strong knowledge reserves and flexible thinking.
It's like a little Sheldon who focuses on mastering criminal psychology and jurisprudence, but with a much higher emotional intelligence.
...
It stands to reason that such a person is suspicious and cautious, and it can be seen from the original book that although Sherlock Holmes has a wide social circle, he is actually arrogant and somewhat withdrawn, and it is very difficult to gain his recognition and become friends.
You shouldn't have dragged two strangers to rent a house at the same time, especially since Mu Guang also showed extraordinary strength in front of him and killed a group of gangsters.
To be honest, Muguang wouldn't be surprised that Sherlock had tricked himself into Scotland Yard.
..
As for Anne, I can feel that she is not as simple as the silly white sweet she appears on the surface.
As a member of the royal family, and a member of the royal family that is in the spotlight, power struggles and political sensibilities have become deeply ingrained in the instinct.
Mu Guang guessed that the simplicity of Princess Anne may have some real emotions, but it can't be all of them.
What's more, I'm afraid it's just a girl's protective color, in a strange place, as a weak woman who is powerless, find a strong enough and familiar strong person to cling to.
It's much better to try to downplay your presence and make yourself look like a non-threatening vassal than to be noticed.
Otherwise, Mu Guang didn't think that he could make Anne, who had always been a pure girl, so close at first sight.
However, it didn't matter what Anne was like or what she thought.
Now Muguang only needs to bring her back to the original world, which is done, as for the rest, what do you do with so much?
...
"Hey, man, we're here."
Walking through this holy place in the minds of many detective enthusiasts, the street is not very long, about 500 meters.
As the name suggests, it is a two-style townhouse, which is connected by two buildings, and the left and right sides belong to different families.
The entire street was paved with bluestone bricks, and the pedestrian crossings were much wider and cleaner, which also met the requirements of Sherlock Holmes, and a large part of the cases he handled were related to the wealthy noble gentlemen of the upper class.
A decent street, not a luxurious but status-worthy residence, is also a kind of hidden business card, after all, the Victorian era is the last afterglow of the aristocracy, the First World War has not yet begun, the aristocracy has not yet shed their blood, they are very picky.
In 1863, the world's first city Underground was completed in the City of London, and the Baker Street Underground Station ends in Baker Street, making it very easy to get around.
Standing in front of a house in the back of the south, a very wonderful feeling made Muguang look forward to it.
