The Baker Street Squad, one of Sherlock Holmes’ trump cards in the original novel.
This is a group of unkempt street wanderers who were recruited by Holmes to track targets and collect intelligence. Because of their age and identity, no one will be wary of them. They are like invisible people in this city, even if they are arrogant. No one will be suspicious of anyone he follows.
"Instead of letting them wander around the streets every day, it is better to find something for them to do. Don't underestimate them. Sometimes one person is more useful than a dozen policemen. They can get in anywhere and hear everything they say. " Holmes said this, and at the same time he took out the violin on the side and asked Zhang Hengdao, "We have nothing to do since then. Is there anything you want to hear?"
"Please help yourself."
"Then Sarasate's "Introduction and Tarantella." After finishing speaking, Holmes placed the violin in his hand on his left collarbone and started playing.
Zhang Heng estimates that Holmes's violin level is probably between lv1 and lv2, which is slightly worse than that of professional players. However, ordinary people may not be able to hear the difference. When he plays attentively, he can still impress the listener. Come and enjoy a lot of pleasure.
Holmes was then completely immersed in the ocean of music, while Zhang Heng took this opportunity to look at the case records in his hand.
To be fair, it's quite interesting.
Especially considering that he had studied programming and communications for a long time in the last round of copies. In comparison, at least now these cases are more interesting, especially many of the newspaper clippings read like an emotional article, and the plot Each one is more bizarre and twisty than the last.
Zhang Heng can somewhat understand why Holmes is so fond of solving crimes. It is like playing a crossword puzzle. It requires you to mobilize all your reserved knowledge and attention. Finding the answer itself can bring enough satisfaction. and a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, Zhang Heng had more important things to do right now. After Holmes finished playing the violin, Zhang Heng asked the latter, "Do you have any way to make money?"
"What, are you short of money recently?" Holmes raised his eyebrows, "For someone who has already sent half a quarter's rent as a deposit before meeting me, being short of money is not a normal thing."
"I said that an elder friend helped me pay for it after I found the house. In fact, I don't have much cash left." Zhang Heng said without changing his expression.
After the dungeon started, Zhang Heng also checked his pocket. There was only about five pounds and seven shillings in it. Although the rent had been paid in advance and he could eat three meals a day at home, the money was obviously not enough to support him. his daily expenses.
Holmes shrugged, "I'd really like to hire you as my assistant to solve crimes with me. We worked well together in the textile factory before, but I might not be able to pay your salary, otherwise I wouldn't have to find someone. Shared apartment."
"I'm very interested in solving crimes, so you don't have to pay me any salary. But now it seems I have to find another job. It's best if it doesn't take up too much of my time." Zhang Heng said.
Although there is still a long time for the dungeon, it is not easy to win Sherlock Holmes. Zhang Heng is ready to devote himself to it. He actually does not have much need for money, as long as he can spend enough, because no matter what Even if you spend too much money, you won’t be able to get a copy.
Actually speaking, Zhang Heng still has many ways to make money in this era, but most of them take a long time, and the most important thing is to explain the source of income to Holmes.
"Well... I do know a way to make money." Holmes touched his chin, "I did it for a while. Although it was not for the purpose of making money at the time, it did bring me a lot of income, and It perfectly meets your requirements and won’t take up any of your time. Just take one night out when you are free, but..."
Holmes paused here, "This money is not easy to make. You have to show me that you are indeed capable of making this money."
After saying that, he stood up from the sofa and said, "Follow me. No need to wear a hat or coat. We will be back soon."
The two walked out of 221B Baker Street and came to an empty space with no one around. Holmes stopped, turned to face Zhang Heng, and without saying a word raised his fist and hit the latter.
Zhang Heng reacted quickly and avoided the punch sideways.
"Not bad." Holmes praised, "I think your figure and appearance should have practiced fighting, so that would be great. I won't hold back any more."
As he spoke, he began to move his steps frequently, making it unclear where he would make his next move.
Zhang Heng still stood quietly on the spot without making any movement.
The next moment, Holmes gave up the test and suddenly punched again. Zhang Heng stopped dodging and stretched out his hand to block the punch. Sure enough, both the strength and speed were much stronger than the previous one.
"Good defense." Holmes was not surprised but overjoyed after being blocked by the punch. It could be seen that he seemed to be in the mood and was aroused to be competitive, and then the whole person became more engrossed.
To be fair, his punching power is not too outstanding, but what makes him better is that his moves are quick, clean and without any pretensions. In a sense, his style is very close to Zhang Heng's.
However, Holmes's boxing skills, like his violin, are at the top level of amateurs. They are enough for the detective profession, but there are still many gaps between them and those like Zhang Heng, who spent more than ten years of life-and-death battles to hone them. Even if Zhang Heng now has no sword in his hand, so his strength has been reduced to a certain extent. He can dodge most of Holmes' attacks with his body skills.
"I'm going to start fighting back." Zhang Heng reminded him a minute later.
Holmes hesitated for a moment. In fact, by this point in the test, he had already felt that Zhang Heng was stronger than him, but this also made him more and more curious about what level the other party had reached. He thought that since he had already achieved this step, it might as well be Keep going.
So five minutes later, Holmes covered his eyes and returned to his residence with Zhang Heng.
"Do you want me to find some ointment for you to apply?" Zhang Heng asked.
"No, it's just a minor injury," Holmes said. "When I was a boxer, I got hit much harder than this every day." But after saying this, he realized that this seemed nothing to be proud of.
"In short, I can introduce you to a few underground boxing rings, but if you really plan to make money from this, you'd better be a little more cautious and don't win too easily, otherwise the game will lose suspense and it will be difficult for the bookmaker."
