Chapter 269 Detective Sherlock
Su Li played with the small and cute wooden warehouse in her hand, opened and closed it back and forth, and the posture sitting in front of the window in her pajamas looked more like she was playing with a Barbie doll than a dangerous hot weapon...
In this life, her identity is a little exciting - a mercenary.
Now working under Mycroft Holmes, he hired her, paid her well, provided her with housing and a very light job - to watch over and, by the way, protect his younger brother, Sherlock Holmes.
A crime-solving fanatic who is quite passionate about solving crimes and doesn't care about other people's life or death.Moreover, all he cares about is solving the case, and he has no sympathy for the people involved or the victims.
Of course, there's one more thing I have to mention - Sherlock Holmes is a high functioning sociopath.
That's why she has such a seemingly easy job. Mr. Mycroft Holmes is obviously worried that his younger brother will reach a consensus with the bad guys like a husky and become the leader of the country without him noticing. tricky opponent.
Su Li lives opposite to 221B, there is a small bookstore below, and her residence is on the second floor.On the bright side, both the bookstore and the house belong to her.The owner of the flower shop next door to her was also employed by Mycroft Holmes, and the owner of the decoration shop on the other side had the same identity as them.There is also a coffee shop next to 221B, and the manager is also under Mycroft...
Well, Mrs. Hudson is probably the only unpaid resident on the street...
Maybe, of course, since Mrs. Hudson—
Su Li thought for a while, and thought of an adjective: amazing!
She assembled the wooden warehouse, placed it on the table casually, got up and changed out of the loose nightgown, put on a long skirt, and put on boots. Such an outfit would allow her lovely weapons to be placed in a good place.There are sharp daggers that can be drawn out at any time in both boots, and the wooden warehouse is tied to the thigh.I didn't forget to put a pair of exquisite and small women's wooden warehouses in the leather jacket on the upper body.
Although she felt that such a dress was a bit exaggerated, it was the normal state of the original owner.
A life from an orphan to a female warrior made her feel insecure, which was her standard.Su Li is actually more used to putting things in the space, which makes her feel more secure.
But this world is actually not as dangerous as imagined, even though there are more criminals than in the normal world and a higher death rate than the London she lived in before...
Opening the door of the bookstore, she went to the coffee shop opposite to get a cup of black tea and a small cake for breakfast - no money was given.He wandered back to the bookstore again, and sat down on the chair in front of the table in a leisurely manner.
In fact, not many people come to the bookstore, well, in fact, the business of the store on Baker Street is not very good-no one is doing business seriously, and not many people will come to the bookstore that will never go to the new bookstore to buy books...
Just one day after Su Li moved into Baker Street, a tall and thin man with curly hair, Sherlock, led a short man with a gentle face but a little lameness and a cane, and Mrs. Hudson was preparing to move in. in a rented house.
The location of Baker Street can be regarded as being in the city center, and the rent is not low, so sharing rent is a very good choice.
But everyone knew in their hearts that the short man was not just a roommate.
Sherlock Holmes is not a man who would find ordinary people as roommates.He has lived here for a while, and it's not like he didn't have roommates before.
but--
Su Li frowned, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with her statement...
"Uh, let me ask if there are any, uh, books that make people feel at ease?" The short man walked into Su Li's bookstore with a cane, wanting a book.
Su Li suddenly remembered something, groped under the table, and took out a "Little Book of Calm" that was very popular ten years ago. , very small, but not at all delicate.
Watson looked at the small notebook handed to him in surprise, a little speechless: "This?"
"Yes, it's very easy to use." Su Li nodded sincerely: "You should trust the taste of a bookstore owner."
"All right……"
Su Li smiled, stretched out her hand and said, "Mary Scholl, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'll treat this book as a gift from you." Anyway, she didn't expect the bookstore to make money for her.It's all Mycroft's money, and it's quite generous to give away!
Watson put away the mini-book, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, I'm John Watson."
"doctor?"
"Yes, sorry?" Watson smiled in surprise, "Are all the people on Baker Street so magical?"
"You can say that." Su Li smiled cutely: "Everyone here has their own skills, me? Of course I don't have the observation skills like Sherlock Holmes. But I can inquire, Mr. Holmes has a roommate, I believe I, you are not the first." The ones in front were all driven away by that wayward Mr. Holmes...
Hua Sheng moved his body to make his standing posture more relaxed: "Mr. Holmes is indeed admirable!"
"Admiration?" Su Li laughed absurdly.
"Yes, he has amazing powers of observation!" Watson looked sincere.
"Indeed..." On this point, everyone will agree.
"John!" While the two were talking, Sherlock Holmes walked in through the door in a black overcoat. He glanced at Su Li and got the information he wanted. When he was about to speak, Su Li quickly stopped him. Stopped--
"Mr. Sherlock Holmes, hello, I moved here yesterday. Also, I know enough about myself, and I don't know much about you, so keep quiet and thank you."
When Watson heard this, he looked at Su Li with a surprised expression, "I thought you've been on Baker Street for a long time."
Su Li smiled: "Yes, it's been a long time, more than 24 hours."
The original owner of the bookstore found someone who could pay more quickly, and resigned from Mycroft Holmes.So, Su Li, who just escaped from death, came to take over this easy job.
Moreover, the salary is not low in comparison!
I really don't know how that small government official managed to pay the residents of this street every month.Did he really not do anything else and get some not-so-respectable gray income?
In fact, Sherlock, who is a bit talkative and wants to show off his observation skills, was held back like this. His expression looked a bit like showing off his grades, but he found that the children around him had the same good grades as him, so he was a little depressed. child.
Kind of cute.
At night, Su Li saw the two of them getting into a taxi together, although Sherlock didn't look expressionless.But thanks to Su Li's good eyesight, she knew that the man's mood at the moment could be called happy - because someone died again, and the death was unusual!
Not long after, Sherlock came back alone, and Watson got out of a high-end and familiar black car more than an hour later.
Su Li walked out with a cigarette-shaped candy in her mouth. The original owner had a lot of cigarette addiction, and she was quitting smoking.
"John."
"Oh! Miss Skoll! You startled me."
Su Li held the candy between her fingers, as if holding real cigarettes. She glanced at the car that had gone away, and looked at Watson with some doubts: "Did you not accept the job? The salary is not low."
"What?" Watson frowned. "Didn't you just come back from Mr. Holmes? I know his car. It was the car that brought me here. Mr. Holmes' salary is not low."
Watson: "..." So that bald man with a big stomach is Sherlock's brother?
Who's brother would hire his brother's neighbor to spy on his brother, wow!
Sherlock silently appeared behind Watson, raised the corner of his mouth and pulled out a mocking arc: "My brother. Of course, his desire to control."
"How much did the dessert control pay you?"
"What?" Su Li continued to eat the soup, and she even looked a little coquettish: "Plan to give me more so that I can spread false news?"
"Of course not." Sherlock mocked: "That fat man can know whatever he wants. But as the party being observed, this is not my intention, so I ask for half of the salary."
"Stop dreaming, Mr. Holmes." Su Li smiled brightly and generously.How could it be possible to take money from her pocket!
Sherlock didn't seem to mind at all: "I guess."
Su Li still smiled: "Good night, gentlemen."
She walked back to the bookstore, closed the door and went upstairs. She was working diligently in front of the camera at 221B Baker Street. She took a nice bath and turned off the lights to sleep.
Mr. Mycroft Holmes had not paid her enough to keep her working through the cold nights of early spring.Spending money to buy a video camera is already a hemorrhage for her, and he shouldn't ask for more.
Watson found fun. Although he didn't get any money, he and Sherlock were more closely followed than those who got money.And, one night he ran back with Sherlock, and his limp was completely healed!
This man enjoys adventure in his bones!
Unlike Su Li, if it weren't for the identity of the original owner of this world being so dark in the government departments and underground groups, she would not have chosen to be a member of the observation and protection team of Mycroft Holmes' younger brother.If she could, she would definitely choose to stay in a beautiful place to be her happy house girl.
Lestrade was in 221B before the two returned, with his pack of drug dogs.Before entering the door, Su Li smiled at him.Boss lady!A polite smile is still very necessary!
Although she couldn't figure out how a flower in Scotland Yard wanted to get together with Big Holmes!
