Sherlock investigates (and loses his love)

Part 1

Summary: Elisabeth seeks out Sherlock to solve the case of her dead lover.

Warnings: talk of dead body, Sherlock being a little menace, (Watson being lil bit sus), bad talking of the police(tbh they kinda deserve it in this one), kinda like fanfiction but not really idk

Word Count: ~2K (it took so much to write this wth)

Author’s Note: This is my very first writing, so if anyone will read this (which I highly doubt) pls be kind. It’s translated from Hungarian, cuz I had to write this for smt else, but thought why not put it up here in English, see if anyone is interested. It’s written for a play for the stage, so don’t expect too much. Anyways, I tried my best, comments and likes are very appreciated, and I will post the second part when my brain can actually function. (also shoutout to @s0meth1ngs for frocing me to do it ykyk<3)

1. Scene: Elisabeth seeks out Sherlock to solve the case of her dead lover.

Location: Sherlock’s flat

Characters: Sherlock (S), Watson (W), Elisabeth (E), Mrs. Hudson (H)

*Sherlock and Watson run into each other at the street of their house, both of them going home, Watson looks a little out of breath, he may have been running*

S- Ah, Watson, what a surprise. Just not on your way home too, are you? Tell me, have you been running?

W- But yes, yes. I just wanted to talk to you about yesterday’s case and the press conference following that. […] *here they fade in the scene, but continue to talk. We look at the other side of the door to the house, where Mrs. Hudson is cleaning at the moment.*

H- *hums to herself while cleaning*

S- *comes into the apartment with Watson and take off their coats* …Well yes my dear friend, it’s a terrible case, but in the end it is solved finally: the culprit behind bars, Mycroft can be happy that he has ‘successfully closed another case’.

W- I still don’t understand why you didn’t say anything, you just let your brother make the statement, reap the rewards and take all the glory with it.

S- Because, dear Watson, I don’t care at all about that sort of thing. If he really wants to, my brother can get all the fame he wants, if he had missed out on getting the sharp wits.

* during the whole conversation they go and sit down in the common room and continue where they left off*

W- If you want it like that…so be it. Who am I to say otherwise? But back to the case, how did you even know that this Fosco, or what’s-his-name, was the felon, not his twin, who we suspected all along?

S- Only you suspected it, Watson, I merely considered the possibility that he may have done it. To answer your question: the matter is very simple, the one who did it was left-handed, just like Fosco. And the proof for that is, that when we visited him to question him, he was addressing a letter, and of course, he had the pen in his left hand. An the corpse has stab wounds that only a left-handed person could have inflicted with such force. Therefore, Rosco couldn’t have done it.

W- I understand everything now. Wait, how did you know that?

S- Watson, you’ve been getting more and more inattentive lately, I’m afraid. You’re not sick, are you?

W- No of course I’m not! I don’t know where you get this from. *he scratches his head awkwardly* - By the way, do you have any new cases already?

S- Ten or twelve, but none of them interesting for me in particle. All of them are important, you see, but still, they are completely uninteresting. I did realise, that with smaller, more unimportant matters, there is a real opportunity with observation, for a quick analysis of cause and effect relationships; after all, this is the main coefficient of the investigation. These cases are all the same: there is nothing special about them. Although it’s possible that we will get something better in a few minutes, since I think someone is coming to us right now at this moment.

*meanwhile from the window, Sherlock stares at the other side of the road, where a woman is crossing the road and hurries to their door*

*Meanwhile there is a knocking on the door, Mrs. Hudson opens the door*

H- Good morrow, dear, how can I help you? *she says kindly, smiling*

E- excuse me! Does Mr. Sherlock Holmes live here? I need to talk to him urgently! *says out of breath because she has been running, and a little teary because she has been crying*

H- Of course darling, come on in. *she walks her in to where Sherlock is*

*Mrs. Hudson knocks, then opens the door*

H- Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson, if I understand it correctly, you have a new client, can I let her in?

S- I think so too... Mrs. Hudson, ah, I was going to ask you to bring us some tea! *turns to her, away from the window*

H- I would like to remind you, dear Mr. Holmes, that I’m still just your landlady, not your housekeeper.

W- Alright, thank you Mrs. Hudson, I will make the tea myself, please let in this client in question. *he says in a kind of conciliatory tone*

H- Thank you doctor, I will send the lady right in.

W- Do so, Mrs. Hudson. *with that Mrs. Hudson exists, then Elisabeth enters*

W- Just come in, dear. Come, sit down. *he says to Elisabeth, pointing at an empty armchair*

E- Oh, thank you very much for being able to see me in such short notice. Something terrible happened to me, I just-… *she starts but Sherlock interrupts her sentence*

S- First your name, Miss, please. Without it I can do very little for you. *he said with a sarcastic smile, Elisabeth is a little surprised by this*

E- Oh, true, howrude I am. My name is Elisabeth.

S- Elisabeth…?

E- …Elizabeth McCarthy… *she says a little nervously*

W- Alright Miss Elisabeth, *with that he looks at Sherlock sideways, with a ‘why is it so important right now?’ look, then turns back* - please tell us what happened.

E- Thank you! As I wanted to say, this morning I just went over to James, but when he didn’t open the door, I got suspicious, so I tried to open it, but when I saw that it was ajar, I knew right away that something was wrong here. So I opened the door but found no one home. But then I heard his voice behind me. He said he went for flowers for our little rendezvous today and forgot to lock the door on his way out. I immediately remembered our phone conversation last week, when he invited me to have an early lunch together. Then we went to this little restaurant, not very well known, a little hidden place. Well, the point is that after we finished the lunch, during the dessert, my poor darling suddenly got a hold of his chest and fell off his chair. *she starts sniffling* And all I noticed after this is the head waiter calling for a doctor, then someone running for the police. *she starts sobbing, Watson gives her his handkerchief from his suit pocket, and the girl thanks him*

S- And? He died? *he says unamusedly*

W- Don’t be stupid Sherlock, of course he’s dead. *snapps at him Watson quickly*

E- Y-Ye-es! *she sobs*

S- Tell me, who was this James to you?

W- I would like to know that too… *at this Sherlock turns his towards him, because he found his friend’s sentence and tone interesting,then he turns back to Elisabeth*

E- James is my fiancé… Well, he was my fiancé.

W- Very unfortunate…

S- Tell me, why did you come to me exactly? Why not to the police?

E- Because I don’t trust them. I don’t think they can solve the case properly. I don’t trust their professionalism.

S-So you suspect murder?

E- Mr. Holmes! James was a good-looking young man. What do you think are the chances of a heart attack ?!

W- In fact, you wouldn’t even know how many…

S- Indeed! But let’s get back to the subject. Why don’t you trust the - oh how did you say it? - Ah yes, ‘the police’s professionalism’?

*Elisabeth was a bit surprised by this, she didn’t really know what to say, she didn’t wants them to find out about her father’s identity*

E- Well because… My father always said that the police don’t really care, and that they do an awful job at solving cases correctly and catching the real bad guy. And that they are incompetent idiots and employ brutes.

S- Interesting… So, why did you come to me?

E- Because I’ve heard a lot about you. You appeared here and there in the newspapers too, so I thought you were the ideal person who could help me. Please, tell me you will help me! *she puts together her hands like she was praying, and asked Sherlock like that*

W- Yes, Sherlock, will you help her? *with a questioning look in his eyes he turns to the one in question*

S- I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, please provide the address of the restaurant where the deceased died. And while we are at it, the address of his apartment too, if you know it, of course.

E- Of coure! I’ll also write my contact information here, in case it is needed. *she writes down the said things on a little piece of paper, that she hands over to him* - Thank you very much! I don’t know how I can thank you for your kindness!

S- Don’t bother with that now, you will get to it later. Now the important thing is that you finally calm down and go to the police so that they can send the coroner and a couple of crime scene investigators to the restaurant, because unfortunately, we will need them.

E- I’m calmer, knowing you will help. As for the police, they are already at the scene. But again, thank you very much! *with that, she stands up, shakes the men’s hands and leave the room*

W- Interesting case. Tell me, will you accept the offer?

S- Tell me Watson, you really haven’t been paying attention to me from the beginning of our conversation? As I said before, the most insignificant cases can be the most interesting ones.

W- Oh, yes, true. However, what you say is not entirely true, since I did listen. Please tell me why the girl’s last name is so important? Even the blind could see that she was grieving. Why did you ask her about such nonsense?

S- That, dear Watson, is because the name McCarthy belongs to no other than Irish mob boss Connor McCarthy. That’s why, my friend. /le shock/

W- Oh I see.

S- Come on Watson, we have a case to solve! *with that he picked up his coat and run out of the room, with Watson running after him*

*they bump into Mrs. Hudson in the hallway, almost knocking over the old lady*

S- Tea is not needed anymore, Mrs. Hudson! *says while briskly walking down the stairs towards the doors*

H- But, what happened again?

W- Nothing Mrs. Hudson, don’t bother yourself please, we have a new case, don’t wait for us, we are coming late! *and they are out on the street, and away they go*

S- Taxi!!! *he shouts, but this only could be heard lightly because of the closed door*

OneNETnews Investigates: A Young Pinay Teenager nab almost PHP3M worth of K-Pop Merch facing Degenerative Hate and colossal Cyberbullying on Social Media

QUEZON, MANILA -- A suspected Pinay teen from Cubao, Quezon City, Manila after she illegally demands PHP2.7M (U$D49,335.34), in exchange for buying collection & merchandise, with a best and biggest names of Korean Pop (excluding Pinoy Pop or P-Pop for SB19, BGYO, HORI7ON, LAPILUS, etc.).

During a news magazine programme of "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho" aired last Sunday night (March 5th, 2023 -- Manila local time), a Senior High School student named "Bea" (not the actual real name) said, they believe to stole money from her grandmother to secretly buy K-Pop albums and photo cards online.

According to an exclusive report of GMA News, Bea's grandmother Agnes tried to help her with her money allowance for purchasing something in connection for K-Pop, but her family is at serious risk due to low income and can be found in the Cubao market.

Bea's allowance cost PHP450 (U$D8.23) a day or PHP13,500 (U$D246.84) per month. Because of a popular demand, she is planning to buy K-Pop merch and memorabilia online with a disclosed e-wallet payment methods. Not only that, she bought a VIP ticket worth PHP13,250 (U$D242.27) to ENHYPEN's concert last February 3rd to 5th, 2023 during "Manifesto" concert tour at the ShoeMart Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, Manila. Before that... She was the only 5th Grader with a consistent graduation because classmates and friends refers to a music scene and culture under the school subject of Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH).

Anne Savisa Boonchuy, former Disney XD News Intern and herpetologist for The Aquatic of the Pacific, who is also an avid Thai fan of K-Pop dives with us on our investigative news team for OneNETnews.

Dr. Camille Garcia, psychologist at the Garcia General Hospital (GGH) in Marikina told GMA News that her symptoms of K-Pop merchs and collection puts her at risk for an Impulse Control Disorder (ICD).

Bea's family tries to get back some of the money by selling some of the items online via mobile broadcasting, but its sadly cut short to 0.51% out of PHP2.7M.

The communities of K-Pop are in toxic beast mode of cyberbullying attack, with a dark side of harassment, massive profanations and excessive trolls, in violation of the Republic Act #10627 or the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013, Article #353 or The Revised Penal Code (known as the Cyber Libel) and The 1987 Philippine Constitution: Article 3 - Section 4. Despite a controversial prime time episode aside to ignoring toxicity, offensive & political comments on social media against Bea and her family, television viewers and streaming online are in hatred peril for a mass boycott and dislikes of KMJS.

Few days ago from last Tuesday (March 7, 2023), Boonchuy obtained the exclusive statement via Facebook post as Jessica Aspiras Soho defending viewers on DZBB-TV's GMA 7: Manila with a bite-sized and rough translation in Tagalog dialect: "It has now emerged that someone claimed to have stolen K-Pop merchandise from MRT-Cubao (Metro Rail Transit), but local police and the station say no one has reported anything. The 'Bea' family, who have been featured on KMJS for stealing millions to buy K-Pop stuff are asking for their privacy. KMJS condemns trolling and bullying of its employees and made this story in total caution, nor offend".

In the pursuant of House Bill #129: Section 4 or "The Online and Social Media Membership Accountability Act", signed by Negros Oriental Representative named Arnolfo "Arnie" Alipit Teves Jr., illegal activities of cyberbullying in any kind against "Bea" and her family if possibly proven guilty on all social media platforms online, most of the Philippine laws are subject for fines, community service in jail or probably both. OneNETnews and Disney XD News cannot independently determine on its said sentence or charges in a nearest regional trial court.

The international showcase of K-Pop collection and merchandise are in big trouble like "Bea", which was soon becomes a trauma star without any public apology in anti-socialism and leads to be a worldwide online protest from bashers, brazenly negative haters, political degenerates and the consequences of social media.

As of this writing, there is no actual remedy to address the issue aside the Korean Pop collection and merch. The management and staff of KMJS will soon terminate its televised programme and a broadcast contract of GMA 7: Manila if the ratings continue to hit a new low.
