Chapter 360 Secret Protection
At 15 Minsk Street, at p.m., the sky was already somewhat dim due to the thick fog, but it was still Rune's afternoon tea time.

"You two have truly legendary experiences. You are indeed famous detectives!" Luke, who had a mustache, exclaimed.
"Ms. Watson should have disclosed this information when she attended the dinner party at my house. It seems that we have no sense to visit our good neighbor in time."

"Yes, with such outstanding detectives like Mr. Sherlock and Ms. Watson, who are also so good at fighting, living in our neighborhood, even thieves and vagrants don't dare to hang around anymore. You two have saved the neighbors from so much trouble!" said the beautiful Starling Summer with a smile and a flattering tone.

She was actually... a little scared. A few days ago, when her maid went out, she saw with her own eyes a strange man lying on the ground in front of the neighbor's door, with a broken head and blood all over his body...

She thought the police had taken her neighbors away and she would never see them again, but they didn't come back that day...it was Lawyer Yu Ergen's carriage that brought them back!

She guessed that it was Lawyer Jurgen, who was becoming more and more like an upper-class person, who came forward to save them, but the next day, the newspaper published the news that the detective had killed the criminal and won the Backlund Good Citizen Medal...

What does this mean? It means these two have a very good relationship with the police department! They have a very strong background!
So today, she took advantage of Luke getting off work early and came to visit with her husband. She should have come earlier, but she didn't dare to come alone...

"You two are too polite. Sherlock and I felt that we might cause trouble to our neighbors..." Watson responded calmly, but she was a little anxious in her heart. If they didn't come earlier or later, she and Leonard would still be facing great danger!

Leonard also understood this. He sighed and said:
“Being a detective gives you a lot of free time, but the trade-off is that you’re likely to offend people and invite retaliation from criminals.

“Watson and I have become somewhat accustomed to it…so we are also accustomed to not hiring maids, cooks, etc., just to avoid them being implicated.

"But there's nothing I can do about it. If I had studied hard back then, maybe I wouldn't be a detective, but a... historian? Haha, just kidding." Leonard somehow brought up Klein's life, and when he realized what was going on, he quickly said, "Oh, maybe... I feel sorry for Klein, too?" No, not pity... envy, envy... jealousy.

"I see. That's why I was wondering why your family didn't hire a maid..." Mrs. Summer suddenly realized and then said:

"If you don't mind, I'll have my maid come to help you clean the house regularly. Haha, before you moved in, I also often asked the servants to clean the house."

Luke nodded happily and said:

"That's a great idea, please don't refuse it, this is also a token of our appreciation as neighbors...

"I was deeply touched by what Mr. Sherlock said before. I am actually very interested in machinery, but for the sake of life and family, I became an 'ordinary' company manager... But I don't regret it, because I am very happy now. I have a gentle and virtuous wife, a growing child, and a very warm house with a fireplace...

"Sorry for going off topic. What I want to say is, Sherlock, people like you and me will be the best in any industry! So don't dwell on the past..."

Shit! Peiman couldn't complain in her heart. They really weren't from the same family. Mrs. Summer always liked to show off her furniture, and Mr. Summer also felt good about himself... Wasn't this just a way of boasting that he was an "elite"? Just as she was about to flatter him, suddenly, she seemed to see something unusual from the corner of her eye!
I saw a female figure with blonde hair and wearing an intricate palace dress slowly appearing in the window glass!
Shit! Peiman was startled, and she subconsciously wanted to pull out her gun and shoot, but she suddenly remembered who the other person was... the member of the "Fishman Festival" that Doctor Leonard Strange saved by manipulating time that night!

What was she doing here? To protect? So soon?

The blonde woman pointed silently at the door and raised a finger.

What do you mean?! Someone is coming? One person?

Jingle, jingle.

The doorbell rang suddenly, and when Peiman turned around, the blonde disappeared again! Hiss! Like a "ghost"!
"Maybe the client has arrived... Please sit down for a moment, we have to go and entertain him." Peiman took a breath, winked at Leonard beside her, and they walked towards the door together. It seems that the "ghost" lady... does not seem to have any ill intentions!
"Please go ahead! You two are really busy..." Luke said with emotion, and Mrs. Summer nodded. She was actually very curious about the detective's work. If she could watch this time...

The door creaked open, and the person standing outside was none other than Officer Fisher, who was dressed in police uniform. When he saw the two detectives, he immediately took off his hat and bowed, saying:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sherlock and Ms. Watson. Sorry to bother you two. I'm here to ask for a commission..."

Peiman carefully identified the man and found that there was no trace of disguise on his face before she let go of the revolver in her pocket. She patted Leonard on the back and smiled bitterly:

"Mr. Fisher, whether you know it or not, we have recently gotten into big trouble because of a commission... We really don't have time to investigate other commissions... We can recommend you an equally famous and capable detective, Isengard Stanton..."

"In trouble?" Fisher was surprised. These two were friends with the Senior Inspector and the Chief Superintendent, so what kind of trouble could there be? He immediately said sincerely:
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with? Well, even if I can't help, the Backlund Police Department will do its best to help you. Last time in the police department, we are all friends now! The Chief and the Inspector have already given instructions!"

"..." It's a pity that this matter is too big and you can't help! Peiman complained in her heart, but at the same time, she also understood that the other party was just a small police officer and had no right to know about the incident involving the MI9 and the Intis Ambassador...

"It's very troublesome, but I believe we can solve it... Please come in, Sherlock and I will listen to the content of the commission first, but you should also be mentally prepared, it may take some time before we can start the investigation..." Peiman made way for the door and welcomed the police officer in.

"Thank you, two great detectives! Sure! As long as you promise..." Fisher walked into the reception area, but saw another man and woman, and couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Do you two have any guests? I can wait outside for a while..."

Mrs. Summer saw that the person coming was a police officer and his attitude was respectful...she understood and immediately stood up with her husband and said:
“No, we are Mr. Detective’s neighbors, and it’s a daily visit, a very common thing in our neighborhood.

"You two, we'll take our leave today. Go ahead and get busy."
