48 Hours a Day

“Great game, you made all the points I said, won the game, while fooling all the audiences here, well, this is the money you won.” Holmes gave Zhang Heng thirty pounds of the bet.

As a boxer, you can't bet on your own, you can only bet on spinach from Holmes Delaux on the other side, plus two pounds earned by a boxer, he earned a total of thirty-two pounds on this trip.

“You don't have much fame, nobody knows what you're good at, and it's not a famous game, so there's only so much to go on, and then it'll get better, but it doesn't look like you're interested in being famous either, hahaha. ”

“As I said before, making money is a minor thing for me.” Zhang Heng wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.

“That's too bad, if you're going to fight this way, you might be a very famous boxer, you have the strength, you have the calm mind, and you're from the mysterious ancient kingdom of the East, which is also a good stunt.” Holmes Road, “but I'm glad you're willing to work with me, and I do need a partner. ”

…………

Two weeks after the Jane Doe Corpse case on the River Thames, Zhang Heng caught Pearson trying to escape. Gregson confirmed Holmes' reasoning by questioning him on the spot, and he immediately released Paul, but the bad news was that when he arrived at John's house, he found out that the latter had gone on vacation and had just left last night.

This is clearly a sign of guilty absconding.

Gregson's angry, straight leg, his biggest concern was which colonial nest John ran directly to and didn't come back to, which was really far away from the Emperor and hard for the police to catch, but Holmes then advised him, unlike Pearson, that he was a man with a face in London, a factory and real estate.

Before he had to, he would not let go of these things and run to the colonies, where life was far less colorful than in the metropolitan area, and where his absconding was more probationary.

So Holmes' offer to Gregson is also simple.

- “Retrieve” Paul and then visit him again at John's house, indicating that he had been approached by the police to invite him to attend the court trial against Paul.

Gregson thought about it and did it, and it didn't take long for this bitter meat to come to fruition.

John had never left London, and he hid in a hidden estate in the suburbs, watching what was happening outside all the time, while the old housekeeper in his house was responsible for informing him.

Beyond the fact that the "killer” has been caught, not only in The Echo, but also in other newspapers such as The Times and The Evening Flag, which praise the efficient and courageous work of the London police, headed by Sheriff Gregson, there are also social enthusiasts and activists who are calling for greater security for women workers.

This seemed to have been settled, so a week later John went back to his house.

He was also worried that the police had suspected him of leaving for too long on his own, which would have to be compensated.

Shortly after his front foot entered the door, his back foot was surrounded by the police.

Sheriff Gregson was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and was proud to have John handcuffed up, and the next day a new piece of news appeared in Echo about how the smart Sheriff Gregson used the media to disrupt a criminal's judgment, reduce the vigilance in the latter's mind, and eventually knock out the real culprit.

The citizens of London, on the other hand, experienced the feeling of reading a detective novel. I had no idea that there were so many twists and turns hidden behind a case. The police and prisoners fought intellectually and bravely, and eventually justice prevailed over evil and grievances were served. No one liked to read such stories.

Holmes was also following developments on the merits, but strictly speaking he was only looking at whether the features he had inferred before were correct, and was not concerned about anything else. After John's arrest, Holmes took a deliberate look, and then returned to 221b Baker Street with satisfaction.

Zhang Heng felt a little funny.

Holmes' obsession with reasoning has indeed reached a point where ordinary people can hardly understand, and he is obsessed with it, as if a child were obsessed with the ocean of toys, totally unable to pull himself out.

“The case itself is not complicated, or even simple. If I was the one handling it, I would have realized when I saw John that he was a criminal. Even if I could not arrest him at the first moment because of insufficient evidence, I would have sent someone to keep an eye on him and not let him wander around, so that this matter would have ended successfully.” Holmes Road.

Zhang Heng took two weeks to finally complete the cases that Holmes had given him. He did open up a lot of ideas, not least of which were some very brilliant methods of committing crimes, and the murderer was very cunning.

But Holmes told him, "Relax, this is just the beginning, and then you need to summarize and analyze the similarities and differences in these cases, and put them all in your head, and in the future encounter similar cases that can be reflected in the first place, and I'll teach you how to tell the difference between soil, tobacco, etc., but not now... at least wait for you to finish the first stage of your studies, otherwise greed won't chew. ”

Zhang Heng nodded for understanding.

A boxing match has earned him a lot of money, you don't have to worry about money for the last two months. Of course, as his chances of winning increase in the future, it won't be that easy to make money from spinach, but then the appearance fee will increase, basically two or three games a month will be enough to cover the expenses.

After completing the Thames River female corpse case, Holmes received two more case counsels, one from a fellow detective and one from a client, and after hearing the details of the case, Holmes basically completed the reasoning, finding a breakthrough and not even going around the scene.

The two cases also helped him earn some money, and then he entered an idle period.

With no work available for the last week, Holmes finally had time to finish his thesis on the impact of his professional rivalry, and then started howling his violin wolf, eventually incarnating into a saltfish in boredom.

Zhang Heng rarely woke up at breakfast in the morning. In fact, no one came out of that room all morning.

Zhang Heng knocked on the door and walked into the room.

Seeing Holmes leaning in his suede comfort chair with two or three pinholes in his arms on his back of his head and a syringe on the table beside him.

“Did you know this thing could kill you?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Don't be so nervous, it's only seven percent solution, I know this stuff is harmful to my body, but I am not quiet, despite giving me the most troublesome problems, the most difficult cases, I will enjoy it, the most I hate is life without surprise, compared to those side effects are no big deal. ”

Holmes didn't open his eyes and snorted, “Everyone in the world is looking for stability, peace, wife, son, safe work, but I don't know what to expect from a day like that, don't get me wrong, I'm not looking forward to a day like this, but if there aren't any criminals in London, I could consider moving, or I'd die in this chair sooner or later. ”
