Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 011 Misunderstanding
There is no room for Nock not to be shocked.
There was a box full of ladies in the wooden box!
Nock doesn't have a fetish for women's clothing, what do you want a lady's dress!
There are three girls in the family, but all of them are either malnourished or young.
These clothes look like adults' clothes, and they don't need them as girls.
This is Sherlock Holmes's thank-you gift?
It seems that that guy didn't have a good heart at all and deliberately used these things to disgust himself?
Nock remembered a bad tradition, and the whole person was a little angry.
Unbeknownst to Nock, he was actually wrong about Ford Holmes.
Ford did want to come to the door to ask for guilt at first.
After all, it had only cost one hundred and fifty gold coins the day before, and the next day the police station came to the door and said that their problem had been solved.
He naturally didn't expect that this was the relationship between Nock's shot, and thought that he had spent money unjustly, and Nock enjoyed it.
Naturally, I want to ask the teacher for guilt and get the money back.
But when he learned that Nock had already made a move, and even fought the monster, he had no idea of offending Nok.
Although Nock claimed to have suffered a loss, Ford didn't see that Nock had suffered a loss.
As for whether Nock lied or not, he could naturally judge this.
Although he is not a nobleman, his younger brother is a lord nobleman, and it is easy to investigate something from the new police station.
Naturally, he knew that someone had intervened last night to save the victim of the attack.
The battle traces left behind by the abandoned manor and the investigation records of the police station are not fake.
A person who can fight monsters and get out of the way, he is an ordinary rich man who will not be easily offended.
Unless he wants to make a feud with Nock.
He really wanted to apologize to Nock.
But who knew that before he came to the monastery, he stopped by his own chamber of commerce to get two boxes of goods.
One box was for his wife Anna, and the other was for all kinds of fine utensils.
According to his intention, he asked his subordinates to give the box containing the equipment to Nock as an apology, and even if Nock couldn't use it, it would be a lot of money to exchange it for money.
The cheapest of these utensils costs dozens of silver coins each, and the more expensive dozen gold coins are also worth the money.
But his servants didn't know about Ford's psychological transformation at that time.
Although I don't understand why the master didn't let them smash it directly, I said when I came that the master brought them over to find fault.
Therefore, the servants thought that their master wanted to find fault in a different way, so they cleverly gave a box of clothes to Nock.
In the human kingdom, giving men and women clothes is inherently insulting, and the servants think that Ford wants to insult Nock in this way.
However, Ford "fled", did not notice that the servant had sent the wrong box, and when he returned home, he received an urgent letter from the field and wanted to rush to the field immediately.
He had the suitcase containing the "clothes" delivered to his wife's room, and he hurried out with his simple luggage and servants.
Misunderstanding, this is how it arose.
Nock didn't go into trouble with Ford Holmes for misunderstanding him for humiliating himself.
He was more concerned about the monster known as the Ripper.
I can only put aside the revenge on Ford and concentrate on dealing with the monster.
But I don't know if the monster was recuperating from his injuries, or if he was scared by Nock, who stayed for three nights in a row, and didn't wait for the monster to come out and commit the crime.
This distressed Nock.
But in order to retrieve the dagger that the monster had taken away, he had to insist on going to the vicinity of Baker Street every night to wait for the rabbit.
Again, Nock is not alone.
The Commissioner of the British Police Station sat in a smoky office, frowning.
The pipe in his mouth had long since been extinguished, but he still took two puffs unconsciously.
The whole police station was gearing up to do a big job, and as the commissioner, he even pulled down his face and went to the musket team to invite a team of musketeers as reinforcements.
But three nights passed, and the streets were calm, not to mention that the murderers on Baker Street did not appear, and even the other neighborhoods had no cases in the past few days.
This kind of peaceful life made the director almost suspect that he had entered the kingdom of God.
After all, only the legendary kingdom of God can have such peaceful days!
Especially the seconded musketeers are so bored that they play cards at the police station!
This is what he pulled down his face and owed a favor to be seconded, and he said that he would be seconded for a week, and now half of the time has passed!
Don't eat and drink for others at that time, and in the end, they didn't fire a shot, patted their butts and returned to the musket team, then he fed the thief and lost the money bag - a big loss!
Soon, two more days passed.
After a few nights of futility, Nock was bored lying on a recliner in the shade of a tree in the backyard, shaking his eyes and recuperating.
Since Ford Holmes, these days, there hasn't been a single "believer" coming to the door.
Nock was idle during the day.
The study was occupied by Lillian, and the other children, led by Collowwell, went to play with the children on the next street.
Nock had been practicing magic all morning, and if he couldn't defend the monster at night, he would go back to his old job and hunt monsters after midnight.
I just don't know if he hasn't "started" these days, will someone break into his territory?
While Nock was thinking in a daze, someone really "broke into" his territory.
"Crunchβ"
The rusty iron door of the monastery was pushed open with a screeching sound.
"Guests!"
Nock opened his eyes, which had turned into the shape of gold coins, jumped up from the chaise longue excitedly, quickly tidied up his priest's robe, took a deep breath, calmed down, changed into a solemn expression, and walked towards the chapel in the front yard with the Bible in his arms.
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
The young gentleman stood a little timidly at the door of the open chapel, and shouted in a low voice.
This scene made Nock, who hurried from the backyard, a little crying and laughing.
Because his money-making plan has come to naught.
Although the young gentleman in front of him was dressed in a gorgeous manner, Nock had no interest in coaxing the child with money.
Yes, the young gentleman in front of him, who looked a little shy, was actually just a child of eleven or twelve years old.
"Young sir, may I be of any help to you? Do you want to pray? Or listen to the sermon? Or is it membership? β
Nock stood behind the young gentleman and asked softly, with a smile on his face, trying to make himself appear more amiable, so as not to frighten the first visitor in the days.
"Oops!"
The young gentleman had been paying attention to the chapel, but he did not expect Nock to come out from behind him, and was immediately startled, and his right foot tripped over his left heel, and the whole person fell towards the door of the chapel.
"Be careful!"
Nock hurriedly reached out and grabbed the boy who was about to fall, and helped him up.
"Young sir, are you alright. Sorry to scare you. Here is this priest, Nock Lane, and please take care of the first meeting. β
The boy didn't expect that the person in front of him would greet him so formally.
He quickly straightened up and saluted the young priest in front of him according to the etiquette he had learned.
"Good day, honorable Father Lane. The first time I met, under was Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes. β
Well? Sherlock holmes?
Originally, Nock, who had given himself a noble salute because of the young man, was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect that after the other party reported his home, Nock turned his surprise into vigilance.
"Sherlock Holmes? I don't know who Mr. Ford Holmes is? β
Nock asked the boy straightforwardly, not caring at all that he was rude.
After all, Ford Holmes had already been classified as persona non grata by him.
The box of women's Nocks was well kept, so I thought that after the [Ripper] got his dagger back, I would find an opportunity to put on Ford Holmes's sack and let him wear all the women's clothes in the box!
"Sure enough, Father Lane, you know my uncle, and it seems that I am not in the wrong place!"
Young Holmes was visibly pleased, and did not notice the change in the attitude of the young priest in front of him.
"Oh? I wonder what our young Mr. Holmes has to ask me for? β
Hearing that the other party was deliberately looking for the door, Nock felt that this was Ford Holmes's move again.
I don't know what trick the other party wants to play to tease himself this time, and he actually sent such a stinky kid.
Don't you know that "there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm"?
Nock completely forgot that he was also one of the "hairless mouths".
Young Holmes didn't hear Nock's yin and yang weirdness.
He explained, flushed, "That's right, Father. I would like to ask, did you see my uncle a week ago? β
"A week ago?"
Nock counted the days, and the day Ford Holmes came to the door was exactly seven days ago.
"Yes," replied Nock, "Mr. Ford Holmes did visit me seven days ago, and left me a 'gift' that I will never forget!" β
"Ahh Did you notice anything wrong with him at the time? β
Young Holmes hurriedly asked.
Nock was a little confused by the young gentleman.
"Wait, young sir, what do you mean by asking me to do this?"
Faced with Nock's question, the boy's expression suddenly darkened.
He explained in a depressed mood: "My uncle is missing. Just after visiting you a week ago, he got home and hurried out, never to return, never heard from again. β
Nock listened to Sherlock's words and said strangely, "Missing? No way. As a successful businessman, Mr. Holmes should be normal for him to go out for a week to do business, right? How could it have anything to do with disappearances? β
Young Sherlock eagerly argued, "Not so, Father! My uncle went out that day with a servant in the family's carriage. But three days later, the horse that pulled the cart came back on its own! The carriage is gone, and my uncle has no news!
No one knew where he had gone, but he had heard from the housekeeper that his uncle had hurried out after receiving a letter. No one knows where he went, and I didn't even find the letter at home! β
After listening to Sherlock's explanation, Nock's heart was immediately happy.
