This answer was expected by Elizabeth, but she playfully asked, "So what did you think a lady should be?"
”"I used to think that a multi-talented lady needed to be proficient in music, singing, drawing, dancing and modern languages to deserve this title.In addition to this, her appearance and gait, her tone of voice, her speech and expression, must be quite funny, otherwise she is not qualified.She should also read more, gain knowledge, and have some real talent [1]. ”"But let's be honest, most of this is in the family and social scene, and showing up makes these talents lose their elegance — I used to think so."
Elizabeth laughed: "What a demanding request.I dare say you don't know more than ten such ladies. ”"Strictly speaking, there are only six.""
And now, what do you think now?"
Darcy said, "Tell the truth.My point of view on this is not mature enough, and my thoughts are still a little confused.But the truth is, when I saw Miss Laura's deeds, I didn't pay attention to the description of her family and life in the report.I was a little surprised that she was a woman, but only surprised.I admire her dedication to science and her contribution to society. ”"That's something that mere multi-talented ladies can't do—" Elizabeth added."
That's right.""
I used to have a strong sense of class.I believe that only a noble family can raise a versatile lady.But apparently I was wrong, Miss Elizabeth, you are more talented than any aristocratic maiden I know, even if you were born into a modest gentleman's family - sorry, no offense. ”He paused, observing that Elizabeth did not have any unhappiness on her face, before continuing: "In addition, your kindness and sense of responsibility cannot be trained by receiving the training of a governess every day, and no matter how good a governess is.So I say that my perspective is changing, but not fully mature. ”"I'll just take this as a compliment on me?""
I don't want to praise you all the time, Miss Elizabeth.""
And what do you want to praise me most?"
Elizabeth asked with a smile."
Want to hear the truth?""
I want to hear it.""
Are you sure, Miss Elizabeth?""
I'm sure."
Darcy's face quickly turned red, and he said, "The most important thing I want to praise you—certainly not necessarily the best one—is, call you ......"
He paused again."
Why do you call me?"
She was curious.Darcy whispered, "Lady Darcy." ”Elizabeth's face flushed, and she murmured, "You don't want to repeat the old story, Mr.
Darcy." ”Darcy looked out the window and coughed lightly, "I confirmed to you twice, you said you wanted to hear the truth, Miss Elizabeth." ”Elizabeth: "......"
Mr.
Darcy, when did he become so flamboyant!
But for the sake of his thoughts, changing methods, and carefully telling his heart to herself, she forgave him.* During the conversation, the carriage slowly passed at the intersection of the alley.The coachman stood by in the carriage, and Elizabeth and Darcy headed down the alley.The alley zigzags and twists, starting at the corner of the wide main street.There are no paved roads along the way, and it is all jagged grass.The rain muddled the mud, and Elizabeth had to hold the hem of her skirt with one hand, and naturally gave the other hand to Darcy.Darcy held an umbrella in one hand and Elizabeth in the other.From the back, it is drizzling, talented and beautiful.Shuttling through the alleys, quiet and beautiful.If you look closely at the grass, there are many footprints.Two sets of larger footprints, very distinctly from Lydia and Kitty.The rest were almost half-sized footprints, presumably children playing in the neighborhood.Little Jimmy's house, which they were going to visit, was at the end of the alley.It is a very simple house, with a mess of creepers on the walls, and some children's graffiti.The interior is very simple and shabby furniture, showing financial constraints.When Elizabeth and Darcy entered the house, Kitty and Mary were showing what they had brought."
We just killed a piglet, which we brought from our family's pasture.Look, this pork belly is very fatty.It can be fried into a pork cutlet and the taste is absolutely delicious. ”"There's also a little pork leg, which is the most tender part.You can grill it, of course, don't bake it for too long, otherwise the meat won't be fresh. ”......
"In this basket is a croissant with butter on the side. ”"This is fresh cheese, bacon and sandwiches, for little Jimmy and his three sisters.""
It's the best corn, and I like it best to make creamy corn soup!"
…… Kitty and Mary, as always, excitedly introduced a few baskets, along with how to eat them.Little Jimmy's mother thanked her gratefully, but every now and then a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.The author has something to say: I pigeoned T.T for another day.Yesterday, I brushed "Tokyo Women's Illustrated Guide", and I feel that marriage is really "people outside the city want to enter the city, and people in the city want to escape"~ So do you want bread or love?
Everyone has their own answer~ Elizabeth: Bread and love go hand in hand!!
Notes: [1] Quoted from Chapter 7 of the original book.Chapter 48 After the bust of Napoleon came out of Little Jimmy's house, Elizabeth said to her sisters, "You said something wrong, you know?
”Kitty and Mary shook their heads, and Darcy looked at Elizabeth's "teachings" with a smile."
Do you know how often families like Little Jimmy get meat?"
Kitty and Mary shook their heads again."
For them, twice a year is not a small amount.The goose meat eaten on Michael's Day is a leftover that others don't want, and the ham for Christmas is also a leftover thing that ordinary people eat.Most of the time, you can only taste some of the delicious taste of meat when you accept donations. ”Elizabeth grew bitter as she spoke, thinking of her days wandering in London before she became a governess.Although there is no miserable life for little Jimmy's family, it is by no means a time worth remembering."
So, when you have to marinate the meat to keep the pork from spoiling and you can eat it for half a year or more, you proudly introduce these delicacies, albeit for their own good, so that they can enjoy the food in the best possible way.But to them – if you are not naïve children – it may be a show-off, a condescending handout. ”Kitty and Mary were stunned, then bowed their heads in silence."
We've been doing this for the last couple of weeks.I didn't expect it to bring such a sad mood to others, I was wrong. ”Mary reflected, "It's good that you're coming with us, Liz, otherwise we might have embarrassed more families." ”Elizabeth touched Mary's head: "You will understand it one day, I just made this day a little earlier." ”Kitty walked around Mary and Elizabeth and walked up to Mr.
Darcy, "Mr.
Darcy, how did Leeds become so good at educating others?"
It's so painful for you to be together in the future—I can't imagine!
”Kitty's unabashedly childish squeeze made Elizabeth and Darcy's faces flush in unison.Elizabeth threatened to pat her on the head, but Darcy said, "If you say that, do you have to thank me when this happens?"
”"Why?"
Kitty shook her head."
Because I have been taught by Miss Elizabeth—of course, it is my privilege."
Darcy half-jokingly coaxed her sisters, which reminded Elizabeth of Miss Georgiana.I'd only seen Miss Georgiana once in my life, and I couldn't remember what she looked like.But recalling the scene of the exchange at that time, she would always sigh that Mr.
Darcy was the best brother in the world......
Maybe he will be the best husband, and he will be the best father in the future.Elizabeth was in a state of imagination, but Kitty and Mary were amused by Mr.
Darcy's humor.They felt that the amiable Mr.

Darcy they saw today did not at all look like the indifferent Mr.
Darcy in Meritun.No doubt they were more fond of the dear Mr.
Darcy—and it seemed to be thanks to their dear sister.
*It is a 10-minute walk from the end of the alley to the junction.Although the rain stopped, the grass was even more muddy.During the half-hour of this visit, many new footprints were added to the ground, and it was cluttered.The group of four walked slowly, and Kitty couldn't find any time, so she opened the small gift that little Jimmy's mother had given them."
It's—" She froze, quickly wrapping the package, and handing it to Elizabeth, "Liz, look—just take a look, be careful not to take it out." ”They said they had repeatedly excused themselves, but little Jimmy's mother said that little Jimmy had picked it up in the corner of the toy store.It didn't cost anything, it just represented the heart.So, Elizabeth accepted it on behalf of her sisters.She thought it would be a rag doll, but looking at Kitty's expression, something seemed wrong.She glanced at it, startled.The alley is very close to the French people's gathering place, and the toy store frequented by little Jimmy's mother must have been owned by a Frenchman.It is a plaster bust of Napoleon, which is not very beautifully made, but it is also very clean and tidy.The streets of France should be full of this stuff, worth a few shillings at most.The statue itself is not scary.But the problem is, this is the UK.Now that the arrogant monarch of the neighbouring country was approaching London, the militia was still stationed at Meriton, which was only twenty-four miles from London.If Napoleon attacked London, then the corps would soon arrive.So in such a situation, if they held up the bust of Napoleon in front of the crowd, they would definitely be spurned by everyone.Little Jimmy's mother must have not seen much of it—perhaps not even known what their regent looked like—to mistake it for an ordinary toy and gave it to them.Elizabeth closed the box, calming her mind slightly, only to realize that Darcy seemed to be thinking about something."
Mr.
Darcy, are you wondering what little Jimmy's mother was doing with this statue?
I think this must be a misunderstanding, she may not know the appearance of the Emperor Napoleon, so she did bad things with good intentions. ”"At first I thought the same, Miss Elizabeth."
Darcy's face was a little serious, "But I suddenly thought of the Times report some time ago. ”"On the issue of policing in the ghetto?
I really can't think of any connection between that. ”"A little further back.The first case was reported a week ago.It happened in Moss Hudson's shop, a Kennington Avenue shop that sells pictures and figurines.[1] The clerk left the counter for only a short time and returned to find a plaster bust of Napoleon smashed to the ground along with several other works of art. ”"I suppose at this particular moment, everyone hates Napoleon, right?
So it makes sense to smash his statue. ”Elizabeth thought for a moment and replied."
I think most people think that way until the second incident.""
The second incident?"
Elizabeth asked, and Kitty and Mary listened with bated breath as they stared at the box in Elizabeth's hand as if they were staring at something terrible, but curious.Darcy continued: "The second incident was much more serious, and it also led the public to think that it was not an ordinary patriotic incident.It happened four nights earlier, when a doctor lived on Kennington Street, not far from Moss Hudson's shop.He was a Frenchman who greatly admired the Emperor Napoleon, and his home was filled with his portraits and reports.Not so long ago, he bought two plaster busts of Napoleon from Moss Hudson's shop, both of which were placed on the shelves of the fireplace.The next morning, he noticed that someone had apparently broken into his home.Nothing else was lost, but one of the busts of Napoleon was shattered, and the other was intact [1]. ”"It's kind of weird."
Elizabeth muttered, "But it could be said that it was a prank, maybe the man broke one statue enough to relieve his anger, so he didn't touch the other."
Or maybe it's not the work of one person at all.You know, there are so many people in the British Empire who hate Napoleon now.If everyone smashed a statue of Napoleon, the total number would be more than France could produce. ”"Of course you can think of it that way.""
But I think there's something strange about it.Portraits of the two smashed statues were published in the newspapers, and the two owners were questioned.Only one conclusion has been reached, and that is that the two statues were made of the same mold. ”"What does that mean?"
Elizabeth was a little puzzled."
So far it's just speculation."
Darcy took the box from Elizabeth's hand, opened it and examined the bust of Napoleon, "If I'm not mistaken, this one must be exactly like the two that were broken."
Moss Hudson said in the newspaper that he had received six of these statues when he arrived. ”"So this is one of them?""
I guess so.""
So," Elizabeth paused, and suddenly felt a chill rise behind her, "do you suspect that the security problems in the slums in the past two days, or that many families have reported that outsiders have broken into their houses, is to find and destroy this bust of Napoleon?"
”The author has something to say: I suddenly want to transform into a nagging author T.T.
I watched 1Q84 today (I didn't finish reading it), and I feel that Haruki Murakami's writing is really my goal~ Note: [1] Adapted from the Sherlock Holmes detective collection "Six Bust of Napoleon".Chapter 49 The bust of Napoleon, who is dangerous and quiet, suddenly becomes eerie.Elizabeth felt that her eyes were sparkling, constantly peering at herself, like the army of the Emperor Napoleon in the English Channel.She shuddered."
Why smash this bust?"
Elizabeth felt that the "toy" in her hand had now become a hot potato.She wanted to throw it away, but she was curious about the mystery of the story; I smelled danger, but I was nervous and excited.If it was half a year ago, she would definitely choose to protect herself.But after more than half a year of fighting for independence, Elizabeth felt that she had more of a man's courage in her bones.She couldn't tell if it was good or bad.Kitty and Mary were scared away from the statue early, and they were making their way to the carriage at a rapid pace.After the initial fear, Elizabeth slowly grew bold and asked Darcy, "What do you think, Mr.
Darcy?"
Why did you break this bust in the first place?
”"The first explanation can dissolve the fear of the present.French psychologists call it a 'paranoid mind', a person who is defective only in a subtle event and otherwise completely normal [1].If a person's family or other situation was destroyed by the Napoleonic Emperor, when the war caused him some kind of psychological defect, it was possible to create a 'paranoid mind'.Then, under its influence, a certain kind of statue will uniquely arouse anger in his heart. ”"But you don't think so."
Elizabeth affirmed."
You're right."
Darcy was not at all surprised by Elizabeth's speculation.After all, she was the Darcy he thought she was, so how could she not understand his thoughts.After a pause, he continued, "I'm more inclined to the second interpretation. ”"What makes these six similar busts unique?"
Darcy nodded, and he pointed the statue at the sun, which was obscured by dark clouds.It's a pity that the sun is all covered by dark clouds and can't play a role."
What could be different?"
Elizabeth asked."
I'm thinking about it too."
Darcy replied.The two of them stopped in the middle of the alley, looking at the simple but mysterious statue in their hands, like a pair of serious and meticulous scholars.A raven flew to the windowsill of the house on the left and made a loud, short call.Raindrops hit its wings along the fence, and it waved its feathers before "fluttering" away."
There are footsteps."
Darcy stopped abruptly researching, and Elizabeth subconsciously looked around.The footsteps seemed to be coming from behind, faster and louder.It's a bit of a mess, not like it's alone.She looked back, her eyes tightening.Before I could react, I felt like I had been pushed.A force emanated from the side, and then the bust of Napoleon in his hand was taken away.But the man did not stand firm, and fell to the ground at once.Because the ground was muddy and soft, he was not injured, and the bust of Napoleon was not broken.Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief that Darcy had stepped forward to tie the man's hands.She was about to help, when she suddenly felt a nervous panse.Subconsciously looked back again.Not far behind, a man was holding a gun.He was tall and had blonde hair.He is personable and has the exact opposite temperament to the sharp-beaked monkey gills and short stature who are pushed to the ground.What's more, he has good eyebrows, and although he wears a gray gunman suit and a mask, Elizabeth recognizes him at a glance."
Wickham?"
Elizabeth cried out.The man seemed to be stunned for a moment, but the pistol had gone off."
Be careful!"
Elizabeth, who was leaning before her brain, pounced on Darcy, covered his head with her hands, and fell to the side.But he didn't dodge the bullets.The bullet didn't last long, and it shot into her arm at once.The pain of paralyzing the nerve came from the right arm, and blood spilled from the bullet opening.However, Elizabeth knew that the danger was not far away, and although she did not know why Wickham was here or why he was holding a pistol, she knew about his bad character.Since he was able to mercilessly beat Bennet to death in his previous life, he can now take revenge and dispose of her and Darcy without a word.Elizabeth's head spun rapidly, analyzing the current situation.Based on the speed at which blood spills, it should not be considered a fatal wound.There's nothing wrong with delaying for a while.Wickham didn't come now, just because he was still in a daze.For one, he didn't know why she and Darcy were here.Second, he must have been a little scared of his own shot to Darcy.But what he fears more is the revenge of the Darcy family later, so he will quickly react, let his fear go away, and then quickly take out them.The sharp-billed monkey-gills who were knocked to the ground should be in the same league as Wickham.But they must have had some kind of disagreement, so they will catch up one after the other.Maybe Wickham started with a shot that tried to hit him, but it missed Darcy.Thinking of this, Elizabeth gritted her teeth and forced herself not to think about the wound on her right arm.Quickly look around and find the most suitable cover.The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man had fled quickly, leaving behind the bust of Napoleon that he had snatched earlier.Obviously, he knew the viciousness of his companions, so if he didn't run away with the stolen goods, he might still have a chance to live.When the neighbors heard the gunshots, they were so frightened that they closed their doors and there was silence all around.It all happened in a matter of seconds.Darcy's eyes were red when he saw that the woman he loved was hurting.But he still tore off his bow tie sensibly, and quickly tied it above Elizabeth's right arm."
Be careful."

Elizabeth stopped Darcy as she lowered her voice and said, "Find a safe place first, it's better to go back to the carriage first, and it's okay if we go back and bandage it." ”It should be a while before Wickham comes to his senses, and it's not far from the carriage, so it should be too late to run back."
Bandage first."
Darcy insisted.His voice was low, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger."
I'll be fine."
Elizabeth also insisted, "Let's go back first, he has a gun." ”"I have it too."
Darcy didn't stop his movements, and after quickly bandaging it, he took out a front-loading pistol from his waist."
You—" Elizabeth opened her mouth, but was speechless."
I always have a gun in my carriage," Darcy explained quickly and quietly, "and I promised Mrs.
Gardiner to keep you safe.But still—" he clenched his fist, "missed." ”"Mr.
Darcy, it's not your fault.No one expected such a thing. ”Elizabeth was a little anxious, "But now that the situation is urgent, you can't risk it like that." ”"Wickham's marksmanship is not as good as mine, don't worry."
Darcy should not."
But—" said Elizabeth, after a pause, "you can't kill. ”"Why?"
Darcy asked in a deep voice."
Because—" "Because of my title, or because of who I am?"
”Darcy snatched the words, "I value these though.But, Miss Elizabeth, he has hurt you. ”Chapter 50 The Truth White Crow flew out of nowhere and stopped on the stone in front of it."
Bang bang-" Two gunshots rang out in succession, and it was hit instantly, letting out a short, tragic scream.Then he lost his balance and crumbled."
Wickham is still struggling."
Elizabeth said, "He wanted to rush over and solve us, but he didn't have the courage to break the boat."
So he sprinkled his anger on the crow.What a poor crow. ”"You're right, Miss Elizabeth.""
So what's so mysterious about this statue, and why would Wickham be involved?"
Elizabeth asked, puzzled.The bullet was not deeply embedded, and her wound was no longer bleeding now.However, there was still the pain of the puncture wound, and when the danger passed, they had to rush to the hospital."
I don't know.But there is a way for us to know right away. ”"Follow them, smash the bust of Napoleon?""
You are a lady of great wisdom, Miss Elizabeth.""
I've called the driver to inform the police, but it won't be long before they arrive."
Then, we need to go to the hospital quickly.As for what is so wonderful about this statue, we will find out later. ”After calming down, Elizabeth began to agree with Darcy's decision.If they evacuate quickly, there will be a stir.Wickham would never allow them to leave like this, so the act of evacuating would have made him decide to dispose of them quickly.In contrast, it is best to confront each other quietly and wait for the arrival of the police.Elizabeth certainly wants Wickham to linger and at least not make a decision until the police arrive.She didn't want Mr.
Darcy to shoot unless she had to.After all, his reputation is at stake.Regarding Darcy's decision, she said it was impossible not to be moved.Because the reason Darcy chose to confront her in the first place was simply to help her get revenge.But now is not the time to speak emotionally, and the danger is still in sight.The grass in front of her moved, and Elizabeth tightened her nerves and subconsciously held Darcy's hand."
Don't be afraid, Miss Elizabeth."
Darcy said, "I'm here." ”He took Elizabeth's hand and said, "Miss Elizabeth, if you want me to say, you can give me your hand with peace of mind." ”Elizabeth's ears turned red: "Mr.
Darcy, you are taking advantage of others." ”But the hand honestly turned sideways, interlocking with Darcy's ten fingers.Darcy smiled, and he was just joking to ease her nervousness.If he didn't bring it up again, he wouldn't have provoked Elizabeth with a marriage proposal, especially in such a dangerous moment.After another ten minutes, the situation was deadlocked, and Wickham was still hesitant.Every time the grass made a "rustling" sound, Elizabeth felt her heart beat out of her throat.Not too worried about Darcy getting hurt - he had said he was good marksman, and she believed him.But if he misses Wickham in a duel – she can't imagine what a stain it would cast on the Darcy family.The timeline seems to be stretched by crushing, moving half a second and half a second.A minute later.At last, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and it began to ring in all directions, gradually becoming clear and loud.Elizabeth and Darcy both breathed a sigh of relief.Wickham's chance to counter-attack is gone, and he is now retiring to the table."
Mr.
Darcy.""
Miss Elizabeth."
While waiting in the carriage, Elizabeth and Darcy bumped into an old acquaintance they had met two months earlier."
Mr.
Holmes.""
Dr.
Watson.""
Miss Elizabeth."
Sherlock Holmes said, "Frightened you." ”He took a blanket from the policeman, and Darcy caught it and draped it over Elizabeth."
Is the wound okay?"
Watson asked.Elizabeth rolled up her sleeves and handed Watson her arm."
Fortunately, there were no blood vessels, and the prisoner's gun was not flexible enough.Obviously not as good as—" Watson glanced at Darcy's waist, "not as good as the gun on your friend." ”"But we still need to get this young lady to the hospital as soon as possible.""
Leave the rest to Officer Lesrid."
Although the police in England are extremely stupid, my friends can be trusted. ”*The way back is three points more crowded than the road from which I came.The four of them went to the hospital first, helped Elizabeth remove the bullet, and carried out the tedious bandaging.The doctor told him to observe the patient for at least three days, and Darcy naturally accepted the task.After coming out of the hospital, Holmes and Dr.
Watson followed Elizabeth and Darcy to Mrs.

Gardener's house.That scared the hell out of her."
Oh my God!
God, if this continues, my nerves will be the same as Mrs.
Bennet's. ”Mrs.
Gadina cried, "Dear Elizabeth, what is the matter with you?
”"I accidentally fell down when I got out of the carriage.Aunt Gardena, don't worry.Can I go to the study and chat with my friends?
”Mrs.
Gardiner let them go, half-convinced.Once in the study, Elizabeth closed the curtains and lit the candles.The interior changes from light to dark, and from dark to light."
Miss Elizabeth, I want to pay for this bust of Napoleon, what do you think?"
Holmes asked, seated down."
How much do you think this statue is worth?"
Elizabeth asked."
I'm willing to pay ten pounds for it."
Sherlock Holmes replied."
But I think it's worth more than that."
Elizabeth blinked, "After all, we almost lost our lives for this.Alright, Mr.
Holmes, we're not kidding.Mr.
Darcy and I just thought that we could follow the example of two prisoners and smash the bust of Napoleon.What do you think?
”Sherlock Holmes laughed, "Can you ask me to serve you?"
”"Please, Mr.
Holmes."
Holmes took a clean white cloth from a drawer and spread it out on the table.Then he placed the bust of Napoleon in the middle of the cloth, and finally borrowed his pistol from Darcy and threw it on the top of the statue's head.[1] The statue was immediately reduced to pieces.Holmes hurriedly bent down to examine the fragments of the statue.Then, with a triumphant scream, he held up a fragment with a round, dark thing embedded in it, like a raisin on a croissant[1].He cried out, "Ladies and gentlemen.Allow me to introduce you to the famous Borgillas Black Pearl[1]. ”He walked over to Darcy, "Of course, now this priceless pearl should be returned to its rightful owner." ”Darcy and Elizabeth were dumbfounded.Dr.
Watson, perhaps familiar with Mr.
Holmes's "tricks," now only smiled faintly.The author has something to say: Note: [1] Quoted from the Sherlock Holmes collection "Six Bust of Napoleon".Chapter 51 Elizabeth, the pearl of the Darcy family, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but applaud.[1] Holmes's pale cheeks flushed, and then he bowed as if a master of drama had received applause from his audience.He said, "Mr.
Darcy, you probably remember when this priceless jewel went missing, right?"
”"Of course I do.What happened less than two years ago.I feel very sorry because this black pearl is in the collection of my grandparents. ”Darcy sighed, looking at the black pearl earnestly.Then, for some reason, he gave Elizabeth a deep look."
Officer Lestrade, who was in charge of the case at the time, asked me to do so, but I couldn't explain it," Holmes said.The object of my suspicion at that time was the maid of old Lady Darcy, a Frenchman.She had a brother in Paris, named Bebo, who was the man with the monkey's cheeks.But we didn't find out what they were going to do.I also checked the time in the old newspaper and found that the date of Black Pearl's disappearance happened to be the same date as the date of Bebo's arrest.Bebo was arrested in a factory that made statues of Napoleon.So you can now understand the order in which things are happening[1]. ”"When Bebo got the pearls, he fled to France.At that time, the police were chasing him because of the brawl, and the arrest of the brawl was not a big deal, but the important thing was that he was carrying this pearl.So he ran to the factory and took a few minutes to stuff the pearls into the plaster statue of Napoleon that was drying.They're still soft, so it's just right to tuck in.All you need to do is dig a hole in the wet plaster and then grind it out, and you won't see any difference [1]. ”Elizabeth looked at the fragments of the statue and said with a slight mockery: "This method is really amazing. ”"If you want me to say it's almost hot."
Holmes continued, "However, Bebo was later arrested and imprisoned for a year.After his release from prison, statues of Napoleon were scattered all over Europe.But he didn't give up, figuring out the retail companies that bought the statues through his friends who worked in that factory, and then searched for them one by one.He first found three in France, but none of the Black Pearls were inside.So he came to England again, found the Moss Hudson store, and smashed two statues in quick succession.Now in front of us is the last of the six statues. ”"So the pearl must be in it."
Elizabeth said."
Of course.""
And what about Wickham, the man who was arrested with him today, and he was also involved in this, right?""
What do you think, Miss Elizabeth?""
Now it seems that Wickham and Bebo should be the masterminds.Old Lady Darcy's maid was either an accomplice or had no knowledge of the matter.In the original plan, they planned to let Bebo take Pearl to France to avoid the limelight first, and then discuss the next step.But unexpectedly, Bebo was arrested and the pearl was lost. ”Elizabeth analyzed, "Bebo came back this time, probably wanting to swallow this pearl for himself.But he didn't expect Wickham to find out about his whereabouts, so it led to today's chase.Mr.
Darcy and I just happened to bump into each other. ”
