"Sherlock, you're crazy!"

Watson didn't expect that within a quarter of an hour of his absence, Holmes would plan to get engaged to the little maid of Appledor Villa again.

He was Holmes's only friend and knew his temperament.

In Holmes's view, emotions are the natural enemy of reason, and he does not yearn for ordinary life, and the quiet years that the world longs for are boring and boring for him.

For a man who naturally likes excitement and rationality, it is a tragedy for him to fall in love and engage with anyone.

Watson looked at Holmes, sitting in an armchair, with a pipe in his hand, lazily spitting through the clouds.

"I can't understand what you're doing."

Watson frowned, his tone full of disapproval, "You have a better way to help Agatha." Sherlock, who was just a young and innocent girl, didn't know how the repeated dissolution of her engagement would affect her life. ”

"John, you don't need to be so nervous." Holmes dangled his armchair, and in the smoke, he saw Watson's grim face.

Holmes couldn't help but laugh, "Well, my friend, I didn't do anything heinous. Don't you think that's good? Agatha is a young and innocent girl who easily falls in love with Escott and accepts his marriage proposal. All she liked was a phantom. Let her stay at 221B Baker Street, and Mrs. Hudson will tell her what kind of freak Sherlock Holmes really is. ”

"Escott abandoned her, leaving her emotionally and dignified. When she lives in Baker Street, she will find that Sherlock Holmes is not a man to be entrusted with for life, and she will understand how precious the young man who has always been infatuated with her is. ”

Watson was silent, turning his head to look out the window, the sun was shining outside. As soon as I looked down, I saw a young girl who had just left the apartment talking to a tall young man in front of the carriage downstairs.

That's Agatha and Brian.

The young man carefully helped the girl into the carriage, unaware that the girl he loved had once again betrothed to someone else.

Before the girl got into the carriage, she seemed to sense something.

She looked up and saw John Watson standing by the window.

Agatha was stunned, then a smile appeared on her face, and she smiled and waved at him.

Watson looked at the girl's beautiful smile, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he bowed his head to her slightly.

Watson couldn't help but sigh, "Although I admit that you have a last resort most of the time, there are always exceptions. Sherlock, beware of playing with fire and setting yourself on fire. ”

When Holmes heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Watson, you think so much! It was supposed to be a simple thing. You're right, I have a better way to help Agatha, but it has to be her willing. The London police are still investigating the murder of Milwalton, and it is not a good thing to upset Agatha at this time. While Mr. Lesterred would not necessarily believe Agatha's words, it was not appropriate to make a fuss. ”

If Agatha hadn't come to the door, Mill Walton's murder would have gone unsolved.

But by mistake, Agatha came to 221B Shell Street.

Holmes tilted his head and looked out the window.

The sunlight outside was a bit harsh, and he couldn't help but squint slightly.

He asked Watson, "Do you think Agatha will keep it a secret for us?" ”

Watson was stunned.

Milwharton is the owner of Appledor House, and Agatha's current predicament is directly due to the murder of Milwharton, and the hostess wants to leave London as soon as possible.

Agatha must have liked Escott so much that she was engaged to him.

Sherlock Holmes: "Reasoning is reasoning, the human heart is the human heart, and reasoning can never guess the human heart." When I met Agatha today, I found that she had changed a lot. What is it that can make a young girl judge two people in just half a month? Watson, aren't you curious? ”

Watson grimaced, "I'm not curious." ”

Sherlock Holmes smiled, and he put his pipe on the coffee table, his hands clasped together and his fingertips against each other.

Faced with a suspect who may have murdered her master, Agatha was overly calm and calm.

She didn't care how Milwalton's case went, she just wanted to find a place and a job to support herself...... Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just a little counterintuitive.

Sherlock Holmes reminded Watson, "Agatha knows that you are the one who was dragged by the gardener. ”

Watson was expressionless: "No, she recognized the wrong person." Sherlock, who only recognized her fiancé as Sherlock Holmes in disguise, how could a detective so famous in London approach her disguised as a plumber? Why did it disappear the day after Mill Walton was killed? Just think about it, and everything is traceable. ”

Sherlock Holmes was silent.

Watson reminded him in a cool tone, "You are desperate for Miss Eva's commission, but you didn't expect to pit yourself. Sherlock, as clever as you are, should have made up your mind to pretend you didn't recognize Agatha the moment you saw her. ”

Watson: "You and I both know that even if she goes to the police in London to denounce us, no one will believe her one-sidedness. ”

Mr. Lesterred had a close relationship with them, and many cases that the police could not solve would come to the door and entrust Sherlock Holmes.

One is a well-known detective, and the other is an unknown little maid.

No one would believe what Agatha said.

It's just that that would be too cruel for a young lady who has no relatives.

Holmes began to shake the armchair again, "You're right, but if I do that, what's the difference with Milwharton?" ”

If Agatha hadn't made it to 221B Shell Street, he could have comfortably assumed that Agatha had forgotten about Escott and accepted Brian's courtship.

But she didn't accept Brian's pursuit, she wanted to find a place to stay and find another job to support herself.

Of course, she also held him accountable.

Agatha kept saying that he was responsible, but he could see that she didn't really want him to marry her.

She may just be unwilling.

It is normal for a young and beautiful girl to be arrogant.

Agatha didn't ask much about Milwalton's shooting. She didn't threaten him because she knew something that others didn't know, and asked him to do something for her.

Of course, this is not the reason why Holmes and Agatha are engaged again.

Sherlock Holmes: "Watson, do you think there are two people in the world who look exactly the same?" ”

Watson:???

What is the trend of this topic?

Sherlock Holmes clasped his hands together and said in a slow tone, "Actually, even twin siblings will have different appearances, and they can't be exactly the same. If it's a disguise, it's easier to have flaws—"

Watson was so confused that he had to interrupt Holmes.

"—no, Sherlock, what the hell are you talking about?"

Holmes raised his eyes, "Agatha, she may be a fake." Although she said many of the same things as I remember, and her face was not disguised, I was pretty sure that she was not the original Agatha. ”

Watson: "......"

The things he said were the same as he remembered, and his appearance was not disguised, so could this be said to be fake?

Watson was shocked, and could only say that the world of genius was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

As if he had found some kind of pleasure, Holmes said to Watson: "Agatha, whom I know, is a very sensual person, and when emotions come to her senses, she is irrational. This can be seen from the fact that she fell in love with Escott and quickly got engaged. When Escote disappears, she will only think that he is a negative person, in this relationship, she has neither broken her fortune nor lost her life, and she should not spend her time looking for him. ”

Watson leaned against the window, listening to Holmes's analysis with a blank face.

"Do you remember when I told you that I had a strong rival in love?"

"Remember, it's the young man who sent Agatha, right?"

Holmes nodded, "Escott disappears, and Brian will immediately appear by Agatha's side to show her his love." From what I know about Agatha, she will be deeply moved by Brian's affection for being with him. She would rather Mrs. Millwharton give her half of the commission she gave me than find a fiancé. ”

Watson was dumbfounded.

Sherlock Holmes is an isolated freak, with a brain but no emotions, an intellectual genius, and a human retardation.

He is sometimes kind and full of justice, and sometimes he is cold and ruthless, typified by his sympathy for the lady who has fallen into the hands of Mill Walton, and even willing to infiltrate Appledor's villa and burn the letters in a way that defies the law, but is indifferent and prejudiced against Agatha, whom he has deceived.

Even though Watson had long been accustomed to Sherlock Holmes's temperament, he couldn't help but sigh at this time.

"Sherlock, the vast majority of people in the world are ordinary people, the arrival of love may only be a momentary thing, and no one will forget that second of heart-warming feeling."

Holmes looked at Watson, his eyes full of amusement, "Just like you can't forget the amazement you were when you first met Miss Morstein?" ”

Speaking of sweetheart Mary. Morstein, Watson's expression became gentle.

He told Holmes, "She's accepted my proposal. ”

Mary Morstein was originally a client of Sherlock Holmes, and she became acquainted with Watson during the detective case, and was a very charming and gentle lady.

Miss Morstein was the only lady other than the landlord, Mrs. Hudson, to receive praise from Holmes.

Holmes gave Watson a sympathetic look: "What I feared still happened. ”

Watson smiled: "Love doesn't make me lose my judgment. Charlotte, when Mary and I get married, we won't be able to share a room with you. ”

Holmes was silent, "It's okay, Agatha will move in." ”

Watson frowned, "What? ”

Sherlock Holmes picked up his pipe back on the coffee table, and his deep voice was a little nonchalant in the smoke.

"She wanted to find both a place to live and a job to earn a living, and there was no better option than for her to move into a Baker Street apartment."

Provided, of course, that she likes a life full of excitement and doesn't get scared away.
