Watson is a man with a great desire for beauty, and if he were here at the moment, he would be full of praise for Miss Erin Adler's taste.

Because every piece of clothing, every decoration, and even every movement and every look on her body seems to show her own unique charm, even the mole on her chin is so appropriate.

She is undoubtedly charming, but such a charming lady is always holding a long black cigarette, which is a factor that is not easy to adapt to for those who are allergic to the taste of cigarettes.

But even the most smoke-savvy of men would be flattered to get up and walk onto the dance floor with Miss Irene at the ball, and be the most jealous man at that ball.

Several people at the table saw her, and then they were slightly stunned, and even the young female investigator couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly sighed, I'm afraid that I won't be able to have this kind of femininity in my life.

"Hello Miss Irene." Hopkins slowly got up and saluted with an extremely standard gesture: "It's rude to dine here and not know you're coming today, otherwise I would have said hello to you in advance." ”

This is a somewhat polite sentence, listening to the ears of several people at the table, although there is no obvious change in the complexion, but they are secretly surprised in their hearts, because Hopkins is the most well-known person among them, with outstanding ability, and is appreciated by the court, maybe in a few years, he will be directly promoted to the presiding judge, and the future road is bright. Of course, he himself knows this very well, but he still has great respect for the woman in front of him, which is enough to see that the woman in front of him is very unusual.

"This is Erin. Miss Adler, the owner of this bar. Thinking that someone might not know the woman in front of him, he immediately introduced: "The reason why my investigation has been so smooth during this time is thanks to the help given by Miss Irene. ”

Erin smiled, and her eyebrows were even more charming: "Don't be so polite, don't do it"

Hopkins smiled bitterly and wondered, if all the things you do can be regarded as a gesture, what else in this world is difficult for you?

He certainly didn't come to the Academy of Life Sciences to learn that there was such a person as Erin, in fact, after he broke into the upper echelons of the court, he had heard of [Erin. Adler] and knew that it was a very mysterious, but very common name.

The reason why she is mysterious is because you can never guess her, and even the court can't find out her past.

Just know that she is very rich, and likes to open bars even, in every city and village in the empire, there are her bars, these bars may be the most prestigious local Fengyue places, or they may be a store that you accidentally glimpse on the corner of a street, no one knows why she has such a fetish, in short, she will appear in different bars at different times, it seems that she is just a beautiful proprietress lady, but in many big events, it seems that she can be seen, of course, if you investigate more deeply, You will find that in these things, she is clean like a tourist who accidentally passes by.

The reason why she is very common is because Erin is a businessman in a way.

She sells different things to different customers, and from the perspective of the Inquisition, most of what she sells is intelligence.

Those who are not easy to intervene in as a courtier, or who are a little tricky to investigate, will contact Erin to deal with it.

As for the way to contact her, it is very simple, just write a letter and give it to the bartender of the 'Erin' bar in the city, and it will be fine.

Of course, Erin doesn't show up in person, and not everything is acceptable, she only pays attention to those things that interest her, and when she's done, sends the letter back in its original form, while asking for a dumbfounded, but reasonable, reward.

In a transaction, she asks for even the principal's own tongue.

In short, she was such a weirdo, and Hopkins was even a little overwhelmed when he first came to this bar and learned that the woman sitting at the table across from him was Erin Adler herself.

So today, when he saw Erin walking towards him, he immediately stood up and tried his best to show respect for the other party.

Wait a minute

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly realized something.

Then he looked at the extremely charming woman in front of him with an extremely complicated expression, speculating whether her appearance here was a coincidence or intentional.

After a while, he finally asked tentatively:

"Dear Miss Irene, actually, we just have something we want to ask you for."

"Oh?" Erin seemed a little surprised, and then smiled, "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you know Experimenter 37?"

Hopkins asked, he didn't even explain the details in detail, he didn't even say what the experiment was, and just threw out the term "experimenter No. 37".

However, the woman in front of her didn't have the slightest doubt, and even her smile didn't change, so she nodded naturally: "I know."

Just such a simple answer

Fortunately, Hopkins had already prepared for the anticipation, so the rhythm of his breathing changed slightly. The rest of the people simply glanced at each other, although they were all elites in their respective fields, but none of them had reached the level of entering the top of their respective organizations, and naturally they had not heard of Irene's name, and they couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, shocked by what kind of person the woman in front of them was.

"But. You know, I'm a businessman. ”

"Of course!" Hopkins nodded solemnly: "We will pay enough honorarium." ”

"Money? Oh, little brother, don't be opportunistic. Erin smiled charmingly, for her age, this title was magically inconsistent: "Money is just a meaningless number for you people, as long as it doesn't fall within a certain threshold, and of course I won't earn meaningless things." ”

His mind was broken, and Hopkins's body seemed to subconsciously tense for a moment, and he bowed slightly: "It's really rude, so I don't know what Miss Irene is interested in?" ”

"Ah, something of interest," Erin looked at the gorgeous gas lamp above her head like a girl's confused imagination of the future, "I really don't have any interest for the time being." ”

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something: "Oh yes, in a few days, my squire has some things to do and needs to go away for a day, you should know, as a gentleman, how can you let a beautiful lady go home alone in the night?" ”

“.”

Speaking of this, Hopkins certainly understood what the other party meant, and at the same time he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he didn't know what Miss Irene wanted to do, and he didn't dare to fantasize about the crimson bridge of those newspapers and magazines, men and women sending each other, and then going upstairs to rest.

He just tried his best to hide the apprehension in his eyes, quickly calculated the pros and cons and the possible dangers, and finally smiled naturally: "Of course, Miss Irene, it is a gentleman's duty to send a beautiful lady home, Stanley. Hopkins is always at your disposal. ”

His tone is very good, with that handsome enough image, it should be able to attract the favor of any lady, and he is also thinking that if he can use this opportunity to gain Miss Erin's favor, even if it is just a little bit, it will be an incomparably huge help on his future road!

However, before he could finish speaking.

found that Erin's patience that seemed to have been waiting for a long time had finally failed, and she sighed a little disappointed, and then, she looked at Sherlock on the other side of the table, and even had some resentment:

"Mr. Holmes. I've been standing here for so long, are you pretending you don't know me? ”

For a moment, Sherlock felt all eyes on him, and he raised his eyes and said, "Of course not, I'm just"

He wanted to say that he didn't interject, but Erin didn't seem to let him interject, but directly interrupted him.

And with a sigh of relief, he showed one of the most charming smiles of the night:

"Whew, that's good, then excuse me. After the tavern closes in a few days, would you like to come with me? ”
