Chapter 492 A Little Injury

Baker Street Squad, one of Sherlock Holmes' killers in the original book.

These are a group of unkempt street vagrants who were collected by Holmes and used them to track targets and collect intelligence. Because of their age and status, no one will guard against them. They are like invisible people in this city, even if they swagger No one will be suspected of following behind.

"Instead of letting them wander the streets every day, it's better to find something for them to do. Don't underestimate them. Sometimes a single person is better than a dozen policemen. They can get in anywhere and hear everything. "Holmes said so, and at the same time took out the violin on the side, and asked Zhang Heng, "We don't have much to do afterwards anyway, do you have any music you want to hear?"

"Please help yourself."

"Then Sarasate's "Introduction and Tarantella"." After speaking, Holmes put the violin in his hand on the left collarbone, and played it on his own.

Zhang Heng estimates that Sherlock Holmes's violin level is between lv1 and lv2, which is slightly worse than that of professional players, but ordinary people probably can't tell the difference. A lot of pleasure to enjoy.

Holmes was completely immersed in the ocean of music afterwards, and Zhang Heng took this opportunity to look at the case records in his hand again.

In all fairness it's kind of fun.

Especially considering that he has learned programming and communication for a long time in the last round of dungeons, at least these cases are more interesting in comparison, especially many newspaper clippings read like a novel with rich voice and emotion, and The plot is more bizarre and twists and turns.

Zhang Heng can somewhat understand why Sherlock Holmes is so fond of solving crimes. This is like playing a crossword puzzle, which 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 still has 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?"

"Why, have you been short of money recently?" Holmes raised his eyebrows. "For someone who has sent half a quarter's rent as a deposit before we meet, it is not a normal thing to be short of money."

"The money was paid by an elder friend after I said I found the house. In fact, I don't have much cash left with me." Zhang Heng said without changing his face.

After the dungeon started, Zhang Heng also checked his pocket. There was only five pounds and seven shillings in it. Although the rent had been paid in advance, and three meals a day could be eaten at home, the money was obviously not enough to support his daily expenses.

Holmes shrugged, "I really want to hire you as my assistant to solve the case with me. We cooperated very well in the textile factory before, but I may not be able to pay your salary, otherwise I don't need to find someone Shared rent."

"I'm very interested in solving crimes, so you don't have to pay me any salary, but now it seems that I have to find another job, and it's best not to 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 Holmes. Zhang Heng is ready to devote himself to it. In fact, he does not have much demand for money, as long as it is enough to spend, because Too much money can't bring a copy.

In fact, Zhang Heng still has many ways to earn 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 really know a way to make money." Holmes stroked 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 much of your time, as long as you have a night when you are free, but..."

Holmes paused at this point, "This money is not easy to earn. You have to show me that you are indeed capable of earning this money."

After speaking, he stood up from the sofa, "Come with me, no need to wear a hat and coat, we will be back soon."

The two walked out of 221B Baker Street and came to an empty space where there were no people. Holmes stopped, turned to face Zhang Heng, and raised his fist to hit the latter without saying a word.

Zhang Heng's reaction was also quick, and he avoided the punch sideways.

"Not bad." Holmes praised, "I think your figure and appearance should have practiced fighting, then it can't be better, and I won't stay any longer."

As he spoke, he began to move his feet frequently, making it hard for people to see where he would make his next move.

Zhang Heng still stood quietly, without any movement.

The next moment, Holmes gave up on the temptation, and suddenly punched again. Zhang Heng stopped dodging and blocked the punch. Sure enough, both strength and speed were much stronger than the previous one.

"Good defense." Holmes was not surprised but happy when the punch was blocked. It could be seen that he also seemed to be in high spirits, aroused to be competitive, and then he became even more engrossed.

In all fairness, his punching strength is not outstanding, but the advantage is that his moves are quick, clean and neat, without any pretensions. In a sense, he is very close to Zhang Heng's style.

However, Sherlock Holmes' boxing skills, like his violin, belong to the top amateur level, which is enough for the detective profession, but there is still a lot of gap with Zhang Heng, who spent more than ten years of life-and-death battles. Zhang Heng has no sword in his hand now, and his strength has been reduced to a certain extent. Relying on his body skills, he can also avoid most of Holmes' attacks.

"I'm going to fight back." Zhang Heng reminded a minute later.

Holmes hesitated for a moment. In fact, he already felt that Zhang Heng's strength was superior to his. However, this also made him more curious about the level of the other party. go on.

So five minutes later Holmes covered his eyes and returned to the residence with Zhang Heng.

"Do you want me to find some ointment for you to apply?" Zhang Heng asked.

"No, just a small injury," Holmes said. "When I was a boxer, I received much more severe blows every day." But after saying this, he realized that this incident seemed to be nothing to be proud of.

"In short, I can introduce you to several underground boxing rings, but if you really plan to make money from this, you'd better put some water on it, and don't win too easily, otherwise the game will lose suspense, and the dealer will not be easy to do."
