48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng briefly handled the skin trauma on his body before returning to the Queen's Theatre and sitting back in his seat.

The opera is coming to an end.

In the square outside the bullfighting arena, Escamilio and Carmen, respectively, walked in with their heads up in the crowd, while Carmen stayed outside, when Don José, dressed in his clothes, found her and begged to reconnect, yet Carmen was indifferent, while people cheered in the arena.

Escamilio triumphed over the bull, joyful Carmen took down the ring Don Jose gave her, threw it on the ground, tried to rush into the field and share joy with his loved ones, yet desperate Don Jose pulled out of his arms a dagger already ready and stabbed Carmen, waiting for the crowd to walk out of the arena and see only Carmen in the blood pocket.

Don Jose whispers, "I killed her, Carmen, my dear Carmen! ”

That concludes the play.

Then all the actors in the crew went on stage, the lights went on, and the theatre thundered with applause, undoubtedly the first performance of the new play Carmen in London was an unprecedented success.

Zhang Heng also stood up and clapped with those around him.

By the end of the show, Zhang Heng deliberately came backstage to congratulate Irene Adler.

And even the Prime Minister's wife walked down because the water that had been surrounded by congratulators was not leaking.

Zhang Heng did not compete with the people inside. He stood still and walked in until almost everyone walked in. Eileen Adler's dressing table had been surrounded by flowers, because she could not put it down, even the position next to her was filled, and there were only a handful of flowers in opposition to the others.

“I now know how much the Londoners like you.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Really? Too bad you're not from London. I saw you leave when you were on your way.” Eileen Adler said.

“Uh... my friend and I are in a bit of an emergency. ”

“Well, I can see how urgent you are.” Adler raised his eyebrows, pointing to Zhang Heng's dress, "you look terrible, catching up with Don Jose in the play. ”

“Actually, I just went to the barbershop. ”

“I can see their service is rude enough to give me the name of the barber shop and I will avoid it in the future.” The female singer laughed.

“ ………… ”

As someone who has read the original book, Zhang Heng will of course remain somewhat vigilant towards Irene Adler, but it must be acknowledged that the latter is indeed a very attractive man, and no wonder King Bohemia remembers it.

And strictly speaking, it was the king who made a mistake first, abandoning Adler for his position and marrying the Scandinavian princess, which led to the subsequent photo door, and from Holmes's attitude, he himself was actually more inclined to the female singer and was quite oblivious to what the king did.

That's why when it was over, he paid for Adler's picture and refused to shake the king's hand.

Zhang Heng probably also understands Holmes' appreciation of female singers. This is indeed a smart and interesting woman, so Zhang Heng finally chose to feel at home on how to treat Irene Adler, not knowingly distant or too enthusiastic.

Strong as Holmes doesn't always fight alone, he has a Baker Street team, has connections to help the police solve cases, has friends in all walks of life, wants to win competition with him, Zhang Heng also needs help.

Eileen Adler, as one of the only four to have defeated Holmes, may be a good option.

“Though it makes me a little angry that you left in the middle of nowhere, for the sake of coming back at the end, this was offset, and thank you for waiting outside to congratulate me, even though you didn't bring flowers.” The female singer winked.

…………

It was a long night for a lot of people, and when Zhang Heng returned to 221B Baker Street, Holmes didn't fall asleep, but was vibrantly playing with an Amazon arrow in the room.

Though he had just closed a circle through the ghost gate, his spirit seemed even more excited.

As he himself said, the more difficult the problem would be, the more divine he would be, the more plain life would be like murdering his life, seeing Zhang Heng enter the door and he would say, “Interestingly, you didn't send her home. ”

“I don't think our relationship is as good as that.” Zhang Hengdao, "and don't worry, me and her are not the kind of relationship you imagine. ”

“That's good, or the world will lose a good detective by adding a mediocre person in love.” Holmes Road.

“Did you get anything from those barbers?” Zhang Heng did not continue this topic.

“I'm glad you remember our case, but unfortunately, as I suspect, they're not affiliated with Mr. M's criminal gang, but at least I know who hit us in the theater tonight. ”

“He hit you, but I hit him, thank you.” Zhang Heng revised.

“Doesn't matter, it doesn't make any difference to me. Anyway, the guy's name is Carlson, and according to him, he works in a gun factory, but the two messages must be fake. He met the barbershop while drinking, like I said, the Prussians in London love hugging, and he runs into the barbershop and says that there's bad guys chasing him, so the barbershop people fight the enemy, close the door, and you go to war. ”

“Wait, they don't really know that guy very well, so you don't have to ask anything?” Zhang Heng frowned.

“Yes, but fortunately I fought him before, and my neck wasn't strangled for nothing. ”

“Hmm?”

Holmes dropped the blow arrow in his hand, "The guy was extraordinary, simple and practical, especially when he took me down, obviously joined the army, he was Prussian, which I told you before, besides, he was a very good gambler, and I saw the watch on his right hand, which should be quite valuable, but it had the ticket number on it, oh, this is London. In the pawnshop habit, they would carve the ticket number on the back of the table with a needle tip, which is like hanging a sign to avoid the risk of losing or confusing the number, but it's hard to see, I touched it in the struggle, at least three numbers, which means he's been there three times in total, but then he redeems it, which means he gets a lot of money every other time, so the question is, where did this money come from? And?”

“Mr. M? ”

“Yes, tomorrow we go to the casino, and I have a feeling we're close to the Lord.” Holmes Road.
