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.
