南轅北轍—CelloEric06的最愛

    I just read about chapter ten. Sherlock Holmes gets out of jail, and follows Malefactor's instruction to find Irene Doyle's home. Next day, when Mr. Doyle goes out, Irene takes Sherock to her home. Sherlock tells her he needs to find Malefactor, because he'll help them. When they meet Malefactor, he tells Holmes that he should be incognito, and get the eye, find out the purse, then he'll get the solution.
    This reminds me about a story about Qing dynasty fifth emperor Qianlong's story. One day, two ministors who the emperor patronized and he disguised themself into three rich men. They wanted to go to many places to know about what common people thought about goverment, and corrupt officials arrested. They went to a nunnery, a nun took emporer to a small room to drink tea. When the emporer finished the tea, he fainted, that nun took him to the nunnery's own jail. Other two ministors were catched by many men, and trapped them into the jail. Just now, the officer who managed this nunnery, knew that their emporer was trapped. He sended some soldier to catch the nuns and save emporer and two ministors out. One ministor wanted to know more about the nunnery, so he went to the shrine, there was a drawer under it. But as soon as he opened, the god statue moved together. After about half hour, thousand of golden bullion and silver bullion appeared. The thing that shocked this ministor is an envolope, it wrote, "For ministor Lu." These money was all exploit from common people and the bribe from other ministor!

    What I think will happen is Sherlock will follow Malefactor's instruction. He'll back home covertly, and Irene will go with Sherlock to find out what really happen about the woman.
