007

Agatha, who had left the Baker Street apartment, had no idea what Holmes was up to at the moment.

She returned to Appledor House with Brian, and Mrs. Millwharton asked her if Mr. Holmes had accepted her commission.

Agatha shook her head slightly, and said to Mrs. Millwharton, "Madam, I have decided not to look for Escott. ”

Mrs. Millwharton asked softly, "I can't find your fiancé, what are you going to do in the future?" Agatha, Brian has always liked you, maybe marrying him is also a good choice. ”

Agatha smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, ma'am, for your kindness. I have some savings on hand, so I can rent a cheap house and then look for a job. ”

Mrs. Milwalton looked at Agatha, "Brian is Mr. Milwalton's most important young man, and I want to take him out of London with me, but he wants nothing more than to stay here." ”

Agatha was not surprised to hear Mrs. Millwharton say this.

It's true that Brian likes the innocent and ignorant girl, but so is his affair with Mrs. Millwaltern.

The original body did not know about Mrs. Millwharton's affair with Brian, but he could not hide the current Agatha. After Millwharton's death, Agatha met Brian three times.

Every time they met, she smelled a perfume from Brian.

The orange perfume with a very light base note can't escape her nose.

It was the latest development of a perfume brand in London, and it was released in a limited edition.

Mrs. Millwharton was their guest of honor, and she had received the product before it was even released.

How intimate is it for Brian to have this perfume smell on him?

The answer is self-explanatory.

Agatha smiled at Lady Mill Walton, "Don't worry, Madame. I wasn't going to marry Brian, and I never will. ”

The servants at Appledor House knew that Mrs. Millwharton was not in good shape with her husband. I heard that Mrs. Millwharton was not willing to marry Mr. Millwharton, but was coerced by him to marry.

This is also why, after Mr. Milwalton's murder, Mrs. Millwarton did not care when her husband's murderer was caught, only when she could deal with the affairs of London and leave quickly.

Milwharton was too capable of pulling hatred during his lifetime, and his enemies were all over London.

Mrs. Millwharton didn't care if the servants, including Agatha, stayed, and the people she was going to take were already in order.

But the young Brian was an accident, and he was reluctant to leave London because he had already fallen in love with Agatha, his childhood sweetheart.

Young Agatha is like a budding rose in the morning sun, beautiful and full of vitality.

Beautiful people and things are easy to be liked, and this is understandable.

Just as Mrs. Millwharton would like handsome and tall youths.

In the face of Brian's refusal, Mrs. Millwharton was not discouraged.

The east is not bright, and the west is bright.

Brian can keep Agatha from leaving London, and she can also provide Agatha with help as much as she can, so that Agatha can find her fiancé as soon as possible.

Mrs. Millwharton looked at Agatha with beautiful eyes.

Agatha looked at her, her eyes clear and bright, her plump red lips slightly curled, and her smile was gentle and harmless.

Mrs. Millwharton was silent and said nothing.

But Agatha had something to say, "Madame, I will leave tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Millwharton was a little surprised, "So fast?" ”

Agatha smiled, "There are some things that should be done sooner rather than later, I will leave as soon as possible, and Madame should be at ease as soon as possible." ”

The next day, Agatha left Appledore's villa with her packed belongings and went to Baker Street.

It wasn't too late for Agatha to get downstairs in the Baker Street apartment, but it wasn't early, and the bachelor Sherlock Holmes hadn't gotten up yet, and Watson, who had gone out, was a little surprised to see Agatha carrying her luggage.

Agatha gave him a polite smile, "It looks like I'm not here at the right time. ”

Watson felt a little embarrassed because Holmes hadn't gotten up yet. But telling this young lady directly in this way would inevitably seem a little contemptuous to Holmes.

Although Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly mentally retarded in human relations, listening to what he said yesterday, the young lady in front of him is likely to take his place in the future and handle some paperwork for Holmes.

Watson didn't want Agatha to regret it on her first day.

The kind and considerate Watson tried to help Holmes make amends, "Sherlock, he's now-"

"—You must be Miss Agatha Duran! You've come just in time! ”

An enthusiastic middle-aged female voice sounded behind the two, and both Watson and Agatha were stunned for a moment.

Agatha looked back and saw a woman in her fifties, with features faintly visible of her youthful beauty, and fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, but that did not detract from her loveliness.

She was still carrying two large bags of things in her hand, and she could tell that she had just returned from the supermarket.

Watson saw the other party and thoughtfully took the things in the other party's hand, "Mrs. Hudson, today is not the day of your big purchase. ”

Mrs. Hudson thanked Watson with a smile and her eyes fell on Agatha, "Sherlock told me last night that his fiancée would come to the Baker Street apartment today, I have never seen a young lady Sherlock have a relationship with, you must be well prepared, you can't let Sherlock's fiancée think there is anything wrong with the Baker Street apartment." ”

Agatha:???

Agatha blinked and looked at Watson, "Fiancée? ”

Although Watson felt that the engagement of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha was child's play, the men and women were very consistent when they introduced each other, and they made the fake look like the real thing.

Watson coughed dryly, "That's what Sherlock said. ”

Agatha: "......"

A fiancée is a fiancée.

Escott is Sherlock Holmes, she was originally Holmes's fiancée, and there is nothing that cannot be admitted.

Agatha looked at Mrs. Hudson.

Mrs. Hudson was looking at Agatha curiously, and when she saw Agatha looking at her, she very enthusiastically took Agatha's luggage and handed it to Watson behind her.

Mrs. Hudson took Agatha's hand and walked inside, saying, "You can rest assured that you will stay here, Agatha." I've known Sherlock for a long time, and I've never seen him deal with a young lady. I thought there were only those bizarre cases in his world, and he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life! ”

Mrs. Hudson was enthusiastic and talkative, and she could sing a play by herself without anyone else talking.

Mrs. Hudson led Agatha to the newly vacated room on the third floor, "The apartment on the second floor was shared by John and Sherlock, and there was no room left. I wanted to rearrange this room, but you came a little fast, so I had to grieve you. There is no bathroom in this room, is it okay for you to share a bathroom with me? ”

Agatha looked at the room, the house was on the south side, and it was very well lit. The room was simply furnished, with a simple bed, a desk and chair by the window, and a hanger at the entrance.

It's good for her to have a place to stay.

Agatha: "Yes, Mrs. Hudson, I hope I didn't bother you. ”

"How so?" Mrs. Hudson tilted her head and looked at the girl standing in front of the window.

Young girls, no matter what, are always wonderful.

Mrs. Hudson looked at Agatha and said with a smile, "When Sherlock told me last night that his fiancée was coming, I thought he was lying to me. He used to tell me that he would rather have a relationship with a corpse in the morgue than with a woman. ”

"Mrs. Hudson, don't talk nonsense." Watson's voice came from outside the door.

Mrs. Hudson lowered her voice, "Have you ever seen Charlotte dissect a cadaver?" He's still whipping his body in the morgue! It's incredible that you're not scared away by him, and you're still engaged to him. ”

Not to scare away.

In fact, Sherlock Holmes has a large number of fans and sisters, and when it comes to Sherlock Holmes, even if you don't know about his deeds, you will subconsciously think that he is a great genius.

Agatha was made to laugh a little by Mrs. Hudson, her eyes slightly bent, and her tone was light, "He is so terrible, how dare you rent him an apartment?" ”

"Me? I'm different. Mrs. Hudson smiled happily, "I owe Sherlock a great favor, and he can rent here for as long as he wants." ”

Agatha was curious because she couldn't remember if it was said in the book.

Agatha: "That must be a great favor, what did he do?" ”

Mrs. Hudson smiled even more happily, "A few years ago Sherlock accused my husband of getting him sentenced to life imprisonment before a jury and a judge. ”

Agatha: "......"

Watson came up with Agatha's luggage and the large bag that Mrs. Hudson had purchased, and he put his things away, looking at the landlady with some helplessness.

Mrs. Hudson shrugged innocently and winked at Agatha with a smile, "If you need anything, you can always come to me." ”

Agatha smiled and nodded, watching Mrs. Hudson leave.

"She's such a lovely lady." Agatha sighed.

Watson nodded approvingly, in fact, he thought that anyone who could spend more than three hours with Sherlock Holmes without going berserk was a very lovely person.

Mrs. Hudson, for example, and Mr. Lesterred, who always came to commission cases on behalf of the police.

Watson stretched out his hand to Agatha and formally introduced himself to her, "I didn't have time to introduce myself to you yesterday, my name is John Watson, and I am a doctor. ”

Agatha reached out and shook his hand gently, "It's an honor to meet you, my name is Agatha Duran, and I hope my arrival doesn't affect your date with the person you want." ”

Watson was stunned, "How did you know I was going on a date?" ”

"You are wearing a very handsome shirt today, a stand-up collar shirt, a black waistcoat, trousers and leather shoes, and you have also sprayed men's perfume, which means that you are going to meet someone very important and hope to show her the best side of yourself."

Watson had a faint smile on his face: "Maybe I'm just going to an interview." ”

"But if you're wearing a plaid tie, if it's a business occasion, you shouldn't choose this one."

Agatha's bright eyes flashed with a smile, "If you are too formal, you are afraid that the other party will show you old-fashioned, too casual and worried that the other party will think you are not careful, wearing a slightly lively and fancy tie is just right." ”

Watson looked at Agatha with some surprise, for before this point, only Holmes would guess what someone would do by the way they dressed.

But Agatha said, "Actually, I am talking nonsense, because yesterday I smelled your lady's perfume." ”

Watson suddenly felt numb.

Agatha looked at Watson's expression and looked surprised, "Am I right?" ”

Watson: "......"

He hadn't been with Sherlock Holmes for long, and he hadn't been able to learn the skill, and Agatha could talk nonsense.

Only...... How so?

Watson felt that he felt the unevenness of human beings.
