In the bright sun, a small and delicate yellow gold ring reflects a dazzling light in the sun.

This is a women's gold ring, the design is simple and elegant, and it is not very expensive.

The ring is placed in a gold necklace that acts as a pendant.

The golden noose was wrapped between the slender and white fingers, the fingers were slender, and the nails were trimmed into a semicircle, revealing a faint powder.

At first glance, this is a well-maintained hand.

But if you look closely, it's not quite the case.

The hands are white and clean, but the fingertips and palms have thin calluses, and although the nails are covered with a healthy pale pink, the luster is a little dull compared to the pampered ladies nowadays.

In this era, the ladies who have a bit of status pay special attention to the maintenance of their hands.

They will follow the maintenance method in the lady's book, and take care of their hands every morning, and it can take about ten minutes just to polish their nails.

The girl sitting in the garden squinted slightly, looking at the gold ring dangling in the sun, feeling like she was having a dream that she couldn't wake up from.

This ring is a token left to her by her fiancé.

She looked at the ring in fascination as the other girls in the garden whispered behind her back.

"Oh my God, have you heard? Is Agatha's fiancé missing? ”

"What? Is her fiancé missing? No wonder she's been looking lost lately. Have you met her fiancé? ”

"No, he always came to the villa in the evening to go on a date with Agatha. Agatha had known him for less than half a month before accepting his marriage proposal. ”

"Oh, poor Brian. He had been pursuing Agatha, and the taste of being snatched of his love must have been painful. ”

……

…………

The girls' words were whispered, but every word fell into Agatha's ears.

She is a recent college graduate who should have a bright future, but she was in a car accident on the way to the airport on her graduation trip, and woke up to find that the world she lived in had changed dramatically.

She is not a young and free girl living in the land of China in the 21st century, but a young maid living in Victorian England in the late 19th century.

At this point, it seems necessary to solemnly introduce her current identity.

Her name was Agatha, she was eighteen years old, and she was a maid who was very popular with her master, whose name was Charles Augustus Millwharton, and she was the owner of Appledor Villa.

In what is now London, Mr. Milwharton is a dangerous man who can rank in the top 10 in London.

He was an unscrupulous blackmailer, and his safe contained many private letters from London ladies and ladies. Those letters contained countless secrets that could not be known to the general public, enough to ruin the reputation of the ladies who wrote the letters, and the happiness of a lifetime was ruined.

At the same time, he was a generous patron and was always generous to those who could provide him with information.

In the middle of the night a week earlier, Mr. Milwarton had been murdered in his villa.

The murder of a dangerous man in the top 10 in London will undoubtedly alarm the police, who arrived at Villa Appledor in just two hours.

She was originally a maid favored by Milwharton, who was given access to the study.

Mill Walton was killed in his study, but the valuables in the house were not lost, except for the letters locked in the safe and all the letters were thrown into the fireplace and burned.

- The perpetrator's purpose was not money, but the letters in the safe.

The maid who had the right to enter the study was not surprised to be interrogated by the police, but the original owner didn't know anything, she only knew that Millwharton had mainly relied on extortion from noble ladies and ladies for so many years, and he had so much property, it can be seen that there should be countless noble ladies and ladies who have offended in this life, and he should have been punished a long time ago.

Although the young maid knew everything, she seemed to know too little, and the police had very little information in her words.

I heard that the murderers were two men, and the force value was very high. One of them was caught by the villa's gardener by his ankle when he escaped over the wall, but unfortunately the assailant was so strong that he kicked the gardener's head with his other free leg, and the gardener was kicked so much that he had to let go to protect himself.

The perpetrator was very familiar with the environment of the villa and should have committed the crime by an acquaintance.

This was the inference of the police after the murder of Mill Walton.

It's a pity that they searched all the eligible men in the villa, and they still have no clue.

After being questioned by the police, she did not stop at the villa, and she went to find her fiancé Escott.

Escott is a plumber on the rise, tall, thin, with a sense of humor, and thoughtful when chatting with Agatha, who falls in love with him at first sight, and the two quickly fall in love.

From confession to confirmation of the relationship between the fiancée, it only took them half a month.

After a night of thrilling, Agatha naturally thought of her fiancé.

Early that morning, the sun glowed red behind the clouds on the horizon, and the young maid left Appledor's villa exhausted to find Escott.

She went to the address given by Escott, but did not find her fiancé.

There was indeed a plumber named Escot, who was a swarthy, sturdy and honest middle-aged man, who was 108,000 miles away from her fiancé in terms of size, age, and appearance.

- Her fiancé seemed to have vanished from the world overnight.

The maid was astonished, and she dragged her tired body back to Appledor's villa, where she fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I had already changed my core.

It was at that delicate moment that Agatha traveled through time and space and became a maid at Appledor's villa.

This is not something to be happy about.

Who would be happy to travel from the civilized age of the 21st century to the Victorian era?

- She's not happy anyway.

The young girls in the garden are still chattering, and their topic has changed from Agatha's fiancé to running away, but Brian is not bad, he has been pursuing Agatha, and there is no hope, who knows that there is no endless road, and the plumber who made Agatha swoon actually ran away!

This is great news for Brian.

"A plumber in the ascendant sounds good, but we haven't met him, so it's better to know Brian."

Brian was a long-time worker at Appledor's Villa, about Agatha's age. The young man was tall with blond hair and a handsome appearance.

Brian was the chauffeur of Appledor Villa and often accompanied Mr. Millwharton on his travels.

But Agatha didn't bother with Brian at the moment, because the mistress of Villa Appledor had something to look for her.

Mrs. Millwarton was an elegant and beautiful woman, dressed in luxury.

Mrs. Milwatton said to Agatha, "You are a clever young lady, and Mr. Milwalton has often complimented me on you. If I don't leave London, Villa Appledor can always offer you a place to stay. ”

Agatha: "...... Madame, are you leaving London? ”

Mrs. Millwharton nodded, "It's sad, the scenery is still the same, and the people are different. I don't want to hurt the scene. ”

"However, Mr. Millwalton's murderer has not yet been found."

Mrs. Millwalton's voice was gentle and calm, "It is a matter for the police to arrest the murderer. Agatha, Mr. Mill Walton's case has been taken care of by the police, and Mr. Lester Red of the Metropolitan Police is an excellent police officer who is confident that he will do his best to find out the murderer of Mr. Mil Walton. ”

Agatha was stunned and looked up at the hostess.

When Mr. Milwharton was alive, Mrs. Millwharton had little to do business. Now that Mr. Millwarton has been murdered and the perpetrator is still at large, she is relieved to leave the London police with the responsibility of pursuing the murderer, intending to leave the city.

The hostess looked into Agatha's eyes and smiled, and said, "Agatha, I'm leaving next week." ”

The hostess has made up her mind.

A week ago, when she learned that she had become a maid, that her master had been murdered, and that her fiancé had run away, she was unhappy but accepted it calmly, without any thoughts of not wanting to live.

But now, after digesting the meaning of the hostess's words, Agatha didn't want to live a little.

Because her identity is an orphan, she has no one to rely on. She was picked up by Mr. Mill Walton on a whim when she was wandering through the streets of London.

Mr. Millwharton, who had picked her up at Appledor's villa, was of course not kind, but he saw that the little blonde girl had a good look, and it was a good choice to be a maid in the villa.

She was a popular girl at Appledor Villa, she was good-looking, not very smart, but she was very favored by Milwalton, who even asked her secretary to teach her to read and write.

Agatha recalled the memories of the original body in her mind, the content was limited, except for a young and dashing figure that seemed to be unforgettable, the other party had a pair of gray eyes, the gaze was sharp and bright, and walked with a swagger.

- That's her fiancé Escott, who has run away.

She was at the end of her rope and was about to have nowhere to go, so how could she still think of Escote who ran away?

Agatha sighed in pain.

The hostess spoke softly, "Agatha, I heard that your fiancé is missing?" ”

Speaking of her fiancé, Agatha nodded her heavy head, and then, she felt that it was very shameless to admit her fiancé's disappearance so bluntly, and said: "He may have left in a hurry, and the matter is too urgent to notify me."

Girls are ignorant and easily deceived.

Even if you are deceived, you can't help but excuse the other party's guilt.

The hostess smiled, "Have you heard of Sherlock Holmes?" ”

Agatha nodded again, "I've heard of it." ”

Sherlock Holmes's name is like thunder.

Even if Agatha was not a detective fan before the crossing, it did not prevent her from hearing a lot about this famous detective.

Sherlock Holmes has a large number of fans, men, women and children, fans of younger brothers and sisters, career fans and wife fans...... All kinds of fans, because of their great charm, have been put on the screen again and again, and there are various derivative works.

The hostess said, "Mr. Lestrred says that Mr. Holmes, a man of great sense of justice, has never had an unsolvable mystery in his hands. Your fiancé's whereabouts are unknown, why don't you go to him for help? ”

Agatha: "......"

Don't use an elephant to crack a nut?

Sherlock Holmes loves the thrill of life, and finding a missing plumber probably won't be what he wants.

Then the hostess said, "That gentleman lives at 221B Baker Street in the West End of London, and you can have Brian send you to visit him tomorrow if you need to-morrow." ”

Sherlock holmes.

Agatha silently pronounced the name in her heart, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, she just felt that she had traveled to Victorian England, and probably no one would believe it if she said it.

Although she has the memory of her original body, her performance in the last few days has not been up to par, but everyone around her thinks that her fiancé's running away hit her too hard, so they blame her series of abnormalities on excessive sadness.

Agatha originally had a headache about how to hide her identity, but who knew that the people around her were so considerate and cute, she decisively chose to be rotten.

A long disguise will eventually reveal its feet.

The disappearance of her fiancé and the blow are undoubtedly the best excuse for her to change her temperament.

Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Millwharton thought she was worried about the payment, "I will pay Mr. Holmes." Agatha, are you going? ”

Actually, Agatha didn't want to go.

Escote is clearly an emotional liar.

But the hostess was gracious and gentle, and behaved gently and kindly, "You are helpless in London, and if you can find a fiancé, you will have a place in London." ”

Makes sense.

If Agatha refused, it would seem that she had a hole in her head.

After all, nothing could be more urgent for her right now than finding a place to stay.
