The pleasant reception did not last too long, and was interrupted by an uninvited guest. The visitor was a tall man with white complexion and gray hair, but he looked a little frowning now. , As soon as he entered the door, "something went wrong."

"Which time did you come to me because something happened," Holmes sat on the sofa, but he was not in a hurry and introduced Zhang Heng.

"Gregson, the best player in Scotland Yard, of course, compared with his companions," he said, and then looked at Gregson again. "Zhang Heng, my mysterious and lovely new oriental roommate, we are discussing together The influence of professional opponents, by the way, destroy my treasured port wine. You are here exactly. Would you like to have a drink together? "

"I'm afraid it's not a good time to drink," said the sheriff, taking a look at Zhang Heng at the same time.

"Don't worry, this friend of mine is very strict-minded and won't talk about it everywhere," Holmes said. "So you can rest assured that you have anything."

"Well," Gregson apparently wasn't dealing with Holmes on the first day, and when he heard that, he would no longer be entangled in Zhang Heng's problem and straightforwardly said, "I encountered a very difficult case."

"I'm skeptical, but you can continue."

"In the afternoon, a policeman on patrol found a dead body on the Thames. He asked the nearby boatmen to salvage it. It's a young girl, but we don't have any other clues except the poor child. Clothes, jewelry, and nothing else to prove her identity. We do n’t know her name, where she lives, what work she does, if she has any friends or relatives. In short, we know nothing about her. No one has reported the disappearance recently. You said that you are most interested in this kind of case that has nowhere to go, so I came to you as soon as possible. "

"A wise move." Holmes heard Gregson's description, and his face really showed a touch of excitement, turning to Zhang Hengdao, "My friend, I'm sorry that our reception is over in advance."

"It doesn't matter, work matters." Zhang Heng understood.

Sherlock Holmes got up and put on his coat again, but then he said again, "Where is your hat? The theory course is over. Now we need to practice it."

Zhang Heng was a bit surprised. He could see that Gregson didn't really want him to participate in this case, and he and Holmes had just met for less than two hours. Although they talked speculatively before, they waited. There was no need for Holmes to stay with him when he was doing business.

Although Zhang Heng has the main task, he did not expect to meet the opportunity immediately on the first day. Sherlock Holmes is a person with excellent observation ability, and Zhang Heng also happens to have a lot of secrets. He had not been easy. Even though he had mentioned things he wanted to learn from Holmes before, Zhang Heng didn't want to be too eager to avoid being too late.

However, it now seems that Holmes's case of pulling roommates is still as serious as in the original work. At the beginning, he and Watson had no choice but to take the latter to the scene of the crime scene, but Zhang Heng remembered it right then. Watson has been living with Sherlock Holmes for several weeks, and each other has figured out their own tempers, and this time he and Sherlock Holmes are really better than passers-by.

The sheriff opened his mouth, but ended up saying nothing.

When Zhang Heng saw this, he would not be polite anymore. He followed Holmes and went out, and the three got into a buggy parked outside the door.

Most of the stories in The Sherlock Holmes happened in the late 19th century. At this time, Britain was in the Victorian era. During this period, Britain completed the industrial revolution and expanded colonies overseas. Political, economic, and cultural developments have developed rapidly. Industrial production With more power than the rest of the world combined, the Sunburst Empire was a veritable center of the world.

As the capital, London has also become the world's largest metropolis with a population of more than 6 million.

However, the gap between the rich and the poor here is also huge. In the opening words of Dickens in "The Tale of Two Cities"-this is the best time and the worst time.

The rapid expansion of the population in a short period of time has made the city of London overcrowded. Zhang Heng still remembers some data that later generations saw. At a size of about 1,200 feet, there were 2,795 families living in total, more than 10,000 people. The three generations of grandchildren are crowded in a small room, just like piglets in a pig pen.

Ordinary workers earn less than ten pounds a year, and most of them fall into the landlord's pockets. They eat inferior bread mixed with outdated flour, potato flour and even alum and chalk powder ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ I dare not get sick, have no money to buy clothes or buy toys for my children, and it is difficult to get enough rest time.

In contrast, taking Watson as a medic in the book as an example, although he is not a rich man, he can already live comfortably in London. He can receive an allowance of 11 shillings and 6 pence per day for one month. You can earn almost £ 17 when you come down. As for the landlords and factory owners, they have more money in their pockets. They linger in various dance theaters every day, and the bed partners around them change.

The carriage drove towards the Thames, and Holmes was in a good mood along the way, talking eloquently about the concert he went to before, but unfortunately the two companions next to him were hardly on the topic. Shang and he have too many languages ​​in common. Sheriff Gregson still has a headache for the case at hand. Limited to the more famous ones.

"I like music. It's one of the few things in this boring and boring world that excites my nerves. In addition, it is a variety of cases. The more incredible the password, the more complicated the analysis. The more work makes me feel happy, but unfortunately now there are fewer and fewer criminals willing to use their minds, "Holmes seemed to be on the rise and opened his voice.

"In most cases, you can actually find similar or similar places from previous cases that have happened, so when you are confused, you can always gain by looking through the old files."

"Why, do you have an archive where you live," Gregson interjected.

"I do have the habit of collecting clippings to record difficult and miscellaneous cases, but more records are here." Holmes pointed to his head and laughed.
