28. Brother Kong's visit
Song Yiqiao swaggered upstairs in a hospital gown, and Caroline followed behind her and chattered a few words.
ββ¦β¦ Your body is still weak. β
"What if she hurts you?"
"The media will come over later, you ......"
She is always in a rut when facing girls, especially when she cares about herself, Song Yiqiao is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do. She smiled soothingly and said, "I'm just going to see her, don't worry, there's no problem with the doctor." β
Caroline sighed, with an incorrigible expression on this person: "Whatever you want, I don't care." β
Jenny's hospital room was a single room, presumably to prevent her from hurting others. When Song Yiqiao and the others pushed the door in, the doctor was talking to Jenny.
"You areβ"
He frowned, his hair and eyebrows were already half-white, and the old voice was very clear in the silent ward: "I remember, you are Miss Song, the person who saved Jenny that day?" β
"Yes."
Song Yiqiao took two steps forward and saw Jenny's pale face, sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her.
"Thank you." At this time, Jenny became calm after the treatment, but her voice was still a little hoarse, it should be that her vocal cords were injured, "My thoughts are too confused...... If it weren't for you that day, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm ......."
Her cheeks were pale, like a frightened bird, indescribably pitiful, and the hot and bold female assistant on the stage were completely two people.
"You're alright."
Song Yiqiao's eyes were gentle, and he tried to encourage Jenny: "It's okay, everyone will be afraid of life and death in an instant, but you dodged, didn't you?" Believe me, it will be okay as soon as it is qiΔ. β
-- All of them will be fine.
She said the same thing to herself.
"I ...... I ......"
Jenny couldn't speak, so she could only look up and look at her for help.
At the doctor's notice, Song Yiqiao sat on the edge of the bed and held her cold fingertips with her uninjured hand.
"It's all right," she said, "say whatever you want." β
Jenny was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice, "After waking up, I heard that Jules was dead...... I wondered, is there another reason? The props of that day were the last ones he personally inspected, and according to the past practice, there would be special personnel to check to ensure the safety of the large magic props, and if something happened, I was afraid that it would ruin all his reputation. I haven't been with Jules for long, but I understand that he is a cautious man, and it's really puzzling why this is happening......"
"How long have you been following him?" Song Yiqiao's eyelids jumped and asked.
"Less than a month."
Not long, indeed.
Song Yiqiao asked again, "Why did you do this escape magic?" I mean, shouldn't it be Jules? β
"I used to be a magician, but I was halfway through my home and didn't have many unique skills. As you can see, those men are focused on sexy bodies, and even if the magic tricks are worse, they will more or less pay for them. Jenny hung her head in frustration, "I met Jules at a magician's party. I was performing a little magic trick, and then he came to me and said he wanted me to be my assistant, and I couldn't be happier! It was just a show for a while, and then he said that there was a show that required me to play and teach me the secret of escape magic, and I happily accepted it, and then there was that terrible performance. β
"I want to ask, why is he here to perform, you know?"
Song Yiqiao always felt that Jules was targeting her, but they didn't know each other before, so what was the problem?
"I don't know...... Oh yes! β
"What's the matter?"
"At one point he seemed to be talking to himself, saying that he was going to accomplish his goal. I happened to be looking for him on the matter, and as soon as I got to the door, he noticed it, and was very unhappy about my sudden appearance. Since then, Jules' room has been locked. God knows I don't want to have a conflict with him at all! β
"Target?"
Song Yiqiao thought for a while, and then asked, "Does he have any other unusual behavior?" β
"Unusual behavior?"
"Yes, in addition to practicing magic, have you ever met strange people? Or will they go somewhere secretly and disappear for a certain period of time......"
"I've got to think about it......"
Jenny frowned, and suddenly, her pupils contracted violently, her whole body trembled like a sieve, and her mouth made the sound of gurgling teeth up and down.
"What's wrong with you?!"
"Help! Someone is going to die! β
Jenny suddenly screamed, struggling with her eyes closed, and Song Yiqiao was unexpectedly hit with an injured hand, and she gasped in pain. Fortunately, the doctor reacted quickly enough, and several people pressed her to the bed, and after a dose of tranquilizers, she gradually quieted down.
"What's the matter with her?"
"According to the patient's current condition, it will take a while to recover, and no more questions about the case should be asked." The doctor waved his hand, "Miss Song, I'm still recuperating for the past few days, and I'll contact you when her relationship is stable." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
Song Yiqiao secretly said sorry to Jenny and returned to the ward with a sore hand. Although her body was already several times stronger than that of ordinary people, the pain she suffered was the same, which made her a little wilting and unable to lift her spirits.
"She's coming!"
"It's coming!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Song Yiqiao heard the excited voices of a group of people, and looked out of the door in shock, and instantly a large wave of reporters holding camera microphones swarmed in, scrambling to hand the microphone to her mouth, Caroline didn't have time to stop it, and was drowned in the sea of people.
If I read it correctly, the reporters who were crowded at the front with hideous faces because of too much force were all colleagues working at a newspaper.
Song Yiqiao: "......"
The next morning, Mr. Detective, who was reading the newspaper while drinking coffee, saw Song Yiqiao's face enlarged and deformed by fright and his hand raised high like a baguette appear in the headlines of several newspapers, and he choked for the first time, and was teased by Watson for several days.
*
While Caroline was going to work, Song Yiqiao sneaked out of the hospital. In fact, she was already back to normal except for her hands, but she was ordered to stay in the hospital for safety reasons, and the boredom of life made her almost crazy.
She changed back into civilian clothes and quickly crossed several streets to a place.
"Why are you here?"
Before he could go in, he saw Anderson, who had a stinky face, standing on the steps, his tone was very bad, almost impatient: "Is my meaning not accurate enough?" Ma'am, I repeat, the truth of the theater has been revealed, we are bringing the last thing back, you don't want to make any more trouble. β
ββ¦β¦β
Several policemen next to him were still eyeing each other, and Song Yiqiao left dejectedly, still thinking about whether there was any other way.
"This young lady?"
A man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a long-handled black umbrella in his hand. His countenance was somewhat inexplicably familiar, and his gray eyes were very gentle: "Forgive me, my name is Mycroft Holmes, and I am Sherlock's brother. Can we talk alone for a while? β
Song Yiqiao was stunned for a moment.
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
To say that the Diogenes Club embraces the most withdrawn and unsociable people in town is an accurate assessment.
Song Yiqiao went from sitting on pins and needles at the beginning, to resting calmly with him at the end. She picked up a history magazine and flipped through it, not too much effort on one hand, but not as easily as she normally would.
The wonderful thing is that the unpleasantness and anxiety of these days disappear imperceptibly, and the whole person is relaxed in just a few hours.
And just like that, an inexplicable afternoon passed.
Mycroft, who had been flipping through the magazine, suddenly got up and put it back, glanced at her, and motioned to go out. Song Yiqiao followed out lightly, and at this time the sky was hazy, the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared, and the night gradually enveloped London.
"Stop obsessing with the truth."
This was the second sentence that McCroft said when he met her.
"Why?" Song Yiqiao was a little surprised, "Wait, how do you know?" And what exactly is your purpose? β
She also thought that this brother would use verbal offensive to dig herself from the inside out, for fear that her baby brother would be hurt. As everyone knows, Sherlock is the number one terrorist on Baker Street, and if he wants to achieve something, I'm afraid no one can stop him.
"The matter about Jules is an accident, it involves some big people, and it is not something you can touch, and I can guarantee that they will not threaten you in the slightest again. But I kindly advise you not to deal with them, especially when it comes to Sherlock. His last sentence was in a heavy tone, as if he was afraid that Song Yiqiao would not understand the strictness of the matter.
Song Yiqiao stopped and looked at him.
Mycroft's expression was unmoving, and his tone was calm and calm, but the pale gray eyes silently told SΓΉ Song Yiqiao that if she violated this principle, she was afraid that she would have to suffer a bloody lesson.
"Can I see why?"
"I'm sorry, I can't sue you."
ββ¦β¦β
Song Yiqiao bit her lip and said, "Okay." But if one day I can reach 'that class', I won't give up. β
"Please."
"I have one last question, what is the purpose of looking for me today?"
His answer was straightforward: "I know you." β
Song Yiqiao answered curiously: "We only spoke a few words, there was almost no communication when we were in the club, and we didn't move for a long time, how did you understand?" β
"Miss Song, you don't need to open your mouth to understand a person."
He smiled.
