"Yuri, he once asked me to have dinner with him before, but I didn't agree. He probably thought that I was exactly the same as those vases he summoned and disappeared in the French Opera Company." The female singer said, at the same time Putting down the tea cup in his hand, "I can give you Yuri's address, and even help you ask him out, but what good do I do?"
"What do you want?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Well...I haven't thought about this problem yet." Irene blinked.
"You can tell me after you think about it."
"This proposal sounds good." said the female singer. "In this case, Yuri will be yours."

In the Royal Hotel, Irene was sitting opposite a French man about forty years old. The latter was talking about the artistic atmosphere in Paris and how many outstanding artists there were. The female singer looked at the other side with eyes full of admiration, which also made the French man feel very useful.
"It's a pity that Bizet is no longer here, but I can also introduce you to other playwrights. I have a wide network of contacts at the Paris Music Festival. If you are tired of staying in London and want to come to Paris to develop, you can also contact me. "
"Oh, you think too highly of me. I can only speak a few words in French. If I really go to Paris, I won't even be able to live, let alone sing."
"It doesn't matter, languages can be learned," Yuri wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Your conditions are very good, whether it is appearance or singing skills. Once you master French, coupled with my resources, There is no one in Paris who can compete with you, and you will become one of the few female singers to succeed in both France and England."
Irene burst into giggles after hearing this, and seemed to yearn for the beautiful reality described by Yuri. She raised the wine glass in her hand and said, "Please forgive me for being rude to you earlier. I didn't know you were so funny." Interesting guy, totally different from other men I’ve met.”
"At my age, apart from a little experience and a sense of humor, there is nothing left." Yuri laughed at himself and raised the wine glass in his hand. He was always polite and polite, making it hard for people to fault him. , only a pair of eyes flashed with an imperceptible heat when they passed over the female singer's chest.
According to his past experience, his previous words had opened Irene's heart, and the latter was obviously completely immersed in the wonderful prospects he described, which also meant that he was about to get what he wanted, maybe just tonight.
Irene's initiative to drink also satisfied Yuri. Once the other party fell drunk here, he could... But at the next moment, Yuri felt dizzy first.
He knew very well how much he drank, and he would not fall down after just two sips. Therefore, Yuri immediately realized that there was something wrong with tonight's drink, and his heart sank.
But at this time, he still didn't doubt the female singer. He just thought that some other enemy was looking for him. This is also a mistake that most men often make.
-Underestimating women.
Even Sherlock Holmes has stumbled upon female singers before, and this time the famous Mr. M is no exception.
He struggled and wanted to attract the attention of the people around him by calling for help. He was cautious, even if he was on a date, he would bring bodyguards with him in the dark, but the next moment his head lay in Irene's arms.
"Oh, Mr. Yuri, you look a little drunk, but it doesn't matter, I will send you back." The female singer said softly.
Then she called the waiter and asked him to go downstairs to call a carriage. The coachman disguised as Holmes walked into the hotel under the leadership of the waiter, and set up Yuri with Irene.
The bodyguard at the other table was a little undecided. He didn't know whether Yuri was really drunk or if he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. He didn't follow him immediately. Yuri had already been carried downstairs. The bodyguard hurriedly paid the bill, but when he went down, the carriage was gone.
At this moment, Zhang Heng and the red-haired detective sandwiched him in the middle after patting him on the shoulder.
…………
A week has passed since the oil painting case. Holmes's tactics of strangling the snake's head were successful. All members of Mr. M's gang were dug out. The Viscount recovered the lost sensitive oil painting in his own porcelain vase. Vuillard has also successfully completed the task. Back to France.
But then Holmes also had a headache when it came to how to deal with Mr. M.
It stands to reason that the opposite party has committed countless crimes and can definitely be regarded as a criminal. However, in the cases he has committed, the owners dare not speak out and no one reports the crime, so it is difficult to convict him legally.
After Yuri woke up and found that he had been tricked, he seemed to be very single. Apparently he was convinced that Holmes could do nothing to him. In the end, it was Zhang Heng who took action and tortured the information about the other members of the gang from his mouth.
After receiving Mr. M's oath to never set foot in London again, Holmes finally chose to return him to France.
However, Zhang Heng did not gain anything. After this case, he had an additional criminal investigation skill on his personal panel. It was also a reward for him to learn historical cases during this period and personally participate in the investigation. In addition, after catching Mr. M He also has 15 game points credited to him.
However, the main mission that he is most concerned about is still unfinished.
Zhang Heng originally thought that with Eileen's help, he could know Mr. M's true identity first, which was actually the case. However, the system did not seem to recognize this result.
Zhang Heng guessed that this might be because Holmes made most of the deductions in this case, and in the end it was Holmes who deduced that Mr. M started to feel scared, and then the two of them thought of the opera troupe at about the same time. The system didn't seem to think that Zhang Heng found the criminal first.
Zhang Heng is naturally a little regretful about this, but he is not too uncomfortable. At least he has roughly figured out the conditions for winning now, and he also sees the hope of winning. Although this road is not easy, fortunately, time still stands. By his side.
In addition, after this case, he finally confirmed that Holmes is also a human being and can make mistakes. Of course, his self-correction ability is also terrible. He actually saw a flaw in Mr. M's defensive method in the oil painting case.
Finally, Zhang Heng always felt that Holmes had other deep intentions in finally choosing to let Mr. M go. Zhang Heng consulted Holmes on this issue, and the latter smiled, but took out his violin again.
"I went to listen to "Carmen" again. It is indeed a good opera, and your friend Miss Adler's performance was also wonderful. I especially like one section, and I will play that section for you."
