I really liked the murder mystery turn the story took, and Mr Bucket's part in it.

"Now there is a sound of putting up shop-shutters in the court, and a smell as of the smoking of pipes; and shooting stars are seen in upper windows, further indicating retirement to rest. Now, too, the policeman begins to push at doors; to try fastenings; to be suspicious of bundles; and to administer his beat, on the hypothesis that everyone is either robbing or being robbed."

I wonder if perchance this means you've read the chapter I mentioned when you first started BH which begins with rain and slowly turns to snow—one of my favorite chapters (albeit sad) in all of the Dickens I've yet read! 🥀

Very likely it is the part of the story you were referring to; it did begin with rain, shifted to sleet, then became howling, blinding snow, though this shift in weather, that moved with and accentuated the unfolding of the narrative spanned multiple chapters. However, I hardly noticed the ending of one chapter and the beginning of the next while reading, so absorbed was I in the momentum and the anticipation and anxiety of how it would conclude.
Ah! It must've been the same for me, as I recall it as one chapter. I love that series of chapters. Really sorrowful conclusion, of course, but so, so well written.
