Zhang Heng got up early the next morning and took a record—the case of lame Ricott and his abominable wife. If Zhang Heng remembers it correctly, this is the first one Sherlock had detected during his time as a detective. The case was mentioned in the original work, but there is no detailed content.

Zhang Heng came to the restaurant. Holmes was already sitting there early and began to enjoy his toast and coffee. The two greeted him and Zhang Heng sat down opposite him.

Holmes glanced at Zhang Heng's hand. ”Oh, this case is quite interesting. Although it was not difficult, it took me three days to complete the investigation because I was just a detective at that time. Now, Just one morning. ”

Zhang Heng smiled. He didn't hate the self-confidence of Holmes, or it was precisely this self-confidence that made Holmes' character image, sought after and loved by thousands of readers. In fact, in daily life, Holmes He is a very humble person, but once he is involved in his professional field, he will survey his territory like a lion.

Zhang Heng drank the milk, but at this time suddenly knocked on the door.

Mrs. Hudson opened the door and saw Gregson standing outside. The latter was anxious before sweeping, and the whole person seemed so happy that he came in like a burst of smoke and whispered, ”You have watched the morning A newspaper? ”

”Not too late.” Holmes looked at him with interest.

Gregson passed the Echo in his hand, ”You can take a look, it's fresh.”

Zhang Hengwen took the newspaper and turned to a front page report, which was read out word by word.

The reporter first introduced the unknown female corpse found on the Thames yesterday, and then talked about how Sheriff Gregson witly found the factory where the female corpse was located, and then confirmed the identity of the female corpse. The article also mentioned the police in Mr. Holmes. With the help of Yunyun, but the full text only has this sentence, on the contrary, there are several paragraphs touting Sheriff Gregson's alertness.

Gregson also blushed a little when he heard this, arguing, ”You have given me a lot of help, especially the clues from John Mills, but what you said is not correct, and in the front, that is not the point ... please read on. Go down. ”

Sherlock Holmes smiled and was not angry. He seemed to be accustomed to it. In fact, this is why these policemen in Scotland Yard like to come to him for help. He doesn't care much about fame and fortune, and he won't be dealt with by the police in the end. Snatched and angry, instead he was more interested in the bizarre cases themselves.

Zhang Heng continued reading, and it said that Gregson immediately rushed to the textile mill after getting a clue, and soon confirmed the identity of the unknown female corpse. Her name was Molly, and she came from the countryside a year ago. One of her aunts who came to London to help her find the job in a textile mill.

Because she is not a skilled worker, Molly has a poor salary, but she has a lot of work every day. She works hard and earns only enough money to live on, because her aunt also has four children to raise. The help she can give is limited, and Molly can only rely on herself in this city.
