Sherlock Holmes came back at dusk. He rushed into the room without saying a word. After a while, the sound of the violin suddenly came from his bedroom. He completely ignored the feeling of the audience. He tortured the ears of people outside for a quarter of an hour before closing it, and he sat down with his violin contentedly. Then he said to Zhang Heng on the side, “The meeting with Vial was cancelled tonight. I informed him that in the afternoon I did n’t get much useful information, and I could n’t talk much about it. ”

“By chance, I also want to tell you that I might not be able to go to night.” Zhang Heng took out the 2 opera tickets. “A friend gave me 2 tickets and asked me to see her performance at night.”

“Hah, is there any new opera at the Queen’s Theatre?” Holmes has sharp eyes as always, “Do you have any companions?”

“You know, I didn’t get to London very long, I’m not very familiar with this place, and I don’t have any acquaintances, so …”

“That’s a coincidence, and I’m planning to go to the Queen’s Theatre tonight.” Holmes said with a smile.

“Apart from being interested in violin, do you like opera?”

“I like opera very much, but tonight is not just to listen to opera.” Holmes said, “We want to catch the Mr. M, we have to know who his goal is, he has been active in France before, suddenly big Long-distance travel to London is obviously not a small business. “

“So do you have scope?”

“Well, I visited a few friends this afternoon and sorted out a list, arranged from top to bottom. They are all the people he might target. Although he has n’t started yet, if I were him, I should I have started to study the goal. By chance My characters on the list ranked No. 3 5 will appear in the Queen ’s Theatre tonight. I have a relationship with the chief makeup artist of the theatre. I originally wanted to ask him to help me Get a ticket in, but now it ’s best to have a ticket in your hand. “

…………

After dinner, Holmes and Zhang Heng changed into dresses.

After Holmes scraped the stubble and cleaned up, the whole person looked a lot more energetic. With his aquiline nose and stubborn facial lines, maybe although it is still not a handsome man, it is definitely not ugly.

Then Holmes picked a tortoiseshell as a handle and a rosewood cane. At the same time, he told Zhang Heng, “My Eastern friend, you are rich now, so you should buy a cane that suits you.”

Zhang Heng probably does n’t understand the crazy love of European men ’s canes. In London, there are so few gentlemen who do n’t have a cane, and there is usually more than one. For example, when walking a dog in the morning, they will take an all-wood cane and go out. It will be replaced with a silver rod head, and the rich people will hold the cane with the golden rod head at the dinner.

In addition to the office, there are also special canes for occasions such as opera. When the big and small narrator Balzac is the most upset and in debt, he still throws 700 francs without the slightest hesitation and buys a mosaic. The luxury cane of agate stone, this consumption desire has already exploded most of the 618 chopping party, and today it is even a little meaning to sell kidney and buy apples.

However, following the custom in the village has always been the virtue of Zhang Heng.

The 19th century was probably almost the golden age of walking sticks, and even many famous jewelry brands couldn’t help but take a slice of the pie. Tiffany and Cartier have corresponding canes. Zhang Heng is not very interested in these brands of canes. In addition to their high prices, it is also because Zhang Heng ’s selection criteria are different from most people ’s. In addition to the symbol, it can also be used as a self-defense weapon when necessary.

Therefore, Zhang Heng is more concerned about the weight and strength of the cane. As a weapon is qualified, rather than appearance, he plans to go to the flea market tomorrow.

When the two came to the Queen’s Theatre, it was half an hour before the performance began. The position of the ticket sent by Irene Adler is very good, right in the middle of the second row. As for Sherlock Holmes, several of his goals are in the box on the second floor.

It was only after Zhang Heng knew that one of them was actually the Marquis of Salisbury, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Before the performance, he sniffed his stomach and drew a cigar into the box accompanied by several people.

Sherlock Holmes is also observing the people on the list, or more precisely the people around the Prime Minister, but he has not found anything so far.

As the audience entered the venue, the theater lights dimmed, the music rang, and the curtain slowly opened.

In the last two minutes before the opera, Zhang Heng said to Holmes, “I want to understand.”

“Well, what do you want to understand?”

“Want to understand where the oil painting is.”

“Oh?” Holmes hearing this laughed, “speak it.”

“The important point is that the canvas of the oil painting disappears, but the frame remains in the room,” Zhang Heng analyzed. “This is also a place where I feel a little surprised before. Taking the painting directly away is comparable to taking the painting off the frame. It ’s much easier to take away, so there ’s a problem with my previous inference. If steward and the maid conspire, then the former can bring the painting out and can be put in the latter first, but the maid still took the painting down to show steward There is indeed no suspicion in this matter. She did this to facilitate the hiding of the painting. Since she was searched and found, the painting is not hidden on her body, so there is only one possibility left, and the painting is still there. in the room.

“Many people have a misunderstanding, and think that Mr. M must get something to threaten the owner, but in fact he not at all need to do this step, there is an easier way, as long as the other party thinks he stole It ’s okay to target the item. This is also the role of the arrogant title letter. When I wake up in the morning, the Viscount finds that the painting is gone, and at the same time, there is a signature letter of Mr. M on the ground. It would be logical to think that Mr. M stole the painting. “

“Yes.” Holmes applauded. “It doesn’t rule out that some criminals deliberately disturb the scene, but most of the things left by criminals are purposeful, especially this smart old thief. , Just like an artist, he would hardly add a few extra strokes to an already perfect painting … Then, if you go further, I ask you where the oil painting is hidden in the room, you Can you still reason? “

“In that porcelain bottle,” Zhang Heng said decisively, “Viyar is indeed a very responsible detective. He collected more information and basically turned every corner of the room, only I looked at the portrait of the porcelain bottle. The mouth of the porcelain bottle is very small, but the belly is very big. If you put the oil painting inside and stick it closely to the body below, you ca n’t find it from above. “
