53 Chapter 53
"Good afternoon, gentlemen."
McCloft Holmes stood across from everyone with a smile on his face, and although his greeting was addressed to everyone, his eyes were fixed on Sherlock and he didn't leave.
Sherlock didn't answer, but William and Watson greeted him one after another, and McCloft Holmes didn't pay any attention to this.
"Looks really bad, doesn't it?"
Speaking of this, McCroft Holmes followed Sherlock's gaze to the explosion of the residential building opposite, and said with a look of regret.
"You know, there are still a lot of cases waiting for me to deal with, and I don't have time to listen to this nonsense."
After Sherlock finished speaking, he walked into the house without looking at Michael Holmes.
"Sherlock, he's always like that."
McCloft Holmes shrugged, foreheadd William and Watson, took his umbrella, and walked inside.
"Don't you want to talk to him in a different way?"
William looked at McCloft Holmes and couldn't help but speak.
"Another way?"
When Michael Holmes heard this, he stopped, he turned to look at William, and said, "You know, Sherlock is not easy to deal with······ And he hated me, very much. ”
"Of course, we've already found out about it," said William, "don't you want to change?" After all, I know you still care about Sherlock. ”
"No, I think I've stated a long time ago that if it weren't for not to upset my mother, everything about Sherlock has nothing to do with me."
After Michael Holmes finished speaking, he went straight upstairs.
William looked at the back of Michael Holmes and couldn't help frowning.
Watson looked back and forth between William and McCroft and said to William.
"You want to ease the tension between Sherlock and his brother? I think it's just too difficult. ”
"You're right, Watson," William looked at Watson in agreement, "I'm so naïve. ”
William said this, and was about to go and get some coffee for Michael Holmes, Watson wanted to help him, but William refused, and just asked him to go up and see the situation.
When Watson had gone up, William went into the kitchen, found the pot in its still good condition, made the coffee, and found a good set of broken porcelain, poured the coffee, and then went up with the plate.
"I refuse."
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Sherlock plucking the strings of the violin with his hand, speaking flatly.
"Why refuse."
McCroft Holmes asked with a smile without the slightest doubt.
"The case at hand is too tricky, and I can't get out of it."
Sherlock plucked the strings a few more times, his eyes not on Michael Holmes.
In response, McCroft Holmes blinked, obviously knowing that Sherlock was reckless, "Leave your little case alone, this is a national case." ”
"How's your weight loss?" Sherlock ignored it and digressed from it.
"It's none of your business." Michael Holmes twitched and said.
Seeing that the two men were going to fight again, William shoved a cup of coffee into Sherlock's hand and took out his violin and set it aside.
"The coffee is good."
Seeing this, Sherlock didn't say much, just sniffed the coffee and spoke.
"Thank you."
William rolled his eyes and handed another glass to McCloft Holmes.
"Thank you."
Michael Holmes took the coffee, looked at Sherlock and William, and instead of tasting it directly, he said to William, "William, you can persuade him, he may listen to you." ”
"Huh?"
William knew that McLoft Holmes wanted him to help persuade Sherlock, and that Sherlock Holmes would not let Sherlock do anything dangerous, but he did not think that he could persuade Sherlock.
"My brother Sherlock, he just won't budge," said McCloft Holmes, shrugging at William, "You see, it's not that I don't want to change our relationship, it's that Sherlock doesn't cooperate at all. ”
"If you're so anxious, you can check it yourself."
Sherlock said, placing his coffee on the table next to him.
"Oh no, I can't just leave the office, you know, I don't have that time, and it's the time for the Korean election······ You're not interested anyway. ”
McCroft said, shrugging at Sherlock.
"William, didn't you just say that you were going to Chinatown, when are you going to go?"
Sherlock suddenly shifted his gaze to William.
William was stunned for a moment, and it was clear in an instant.
"I'll go in a moment."
William glanced at Sherlock, then at McCroft Holmes, who was holding a coffee cup with a researched look on his face, and twitched.
"Did you forget something? You just came back from over there. ”
McCroft Holmes said, looking at William with a smile on his face, leaving William a little speechless.
“······ It's true that I forgot something and didn't buy it. ”
William coughed and turned his face a little guilty.
"Ever since I met you, Sherlock's job has simply been thriving."
McCloft Holmes looked at William with a smile before turning to Watson.
"How's it going to be with Sherlock?"
After saying that, Michael Holmes replied to himself, "It must be better to live than to die." ”
"Well······· It's never boring. ”
Watson looked at Michael Holmes's face and silently looked away.
Michael Holmes looked at Watson, smiled and put down the coffee in his hand, picked up the file that was set aside, walked over to Watson, and handed it to Watson.
"I think you know what happened, think about it," said McCroft Holmes, turning his gaze to Sherlock, "you must find it, Sherlock, and don't force me to command you." ”
"Then give it a try."
Unfazed, Sherlock took his violin again, put it on his shoulder, and began to play it with a loud and high-spirited voice, as if he were playing the Symphony of Destiny rather than A Midsummer Night's Dream.
But apparently McCroft Holmes didn't care at all, he turned around and walked over to William and Watson, and said with a smile on his face, "See you later, Stoker, John." ”
"I'll see you later."
William and Watson both nodded to Michael Holmes and watched him go downstairs.
"Why are you doing this?"
Watson couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you just say that you were bored?" ”
"I like it."
Sherlock put down his violin, unconcerned.
"Okay."
Watson was speechless at this point, he looked at the entire room shattered by the explosion, and the half-burned, charred curtains, "I think we should tidy up the room." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sherlock's cell phone was heard ringing.
After William watched Sherlock take out his phone, his face became more and more happy, and he knew that there must be a case.
Sure enough, when Sherlock hung up the phone, he happily said to the two, "Officer Lestrade said there was a case, oh, that's great!" ”
With that, Sherlock picked up his coat and said to Watson and William, "Do you want to come along?" ”
"No, I'd better stay and tidy up the room, if Aunt Hudson comes back and sees this, she'll faint."
William said, waving his hand to indicate that he was not going.
Watson, however, got up and said he was going with Sherlock.
After the two left, William looked at the messy room around him, sighed, and went to Hogwarts to borrow five household elves to help him clean up the room, and each elf was paid a chocolate ball.
When the interior of the room was completely restored, William sent the new high-spirited household elves away and called the house maintenance company to come and paint the blackened walls outside the house.
When all the work was done, William looked at the restored house and felt great.
At this time, the sky was still bright, William returned to the room and turned on the TV, bored watching the talk show, but obviously, he didn't like this, and felt very bored after watching it for a while, William turned off the TV, picked up the newspaper that was put aside and read it.
"The pirate syndicate has been wiped out?"
Suddenly, a piece of news appeared in William's eyes, and he glanced at the time in the newspaper, which was a day ago.
I don't know what happened to Jack Sparrow.
Thinking of this, William took out the phone and called Jack Sparrow.
The phone didn't ring twice before Jack Sparrow's voice came from the other end.
"Hello, Willy Wonka."
"I'm William, I just read the newspaper that the pirate's gathering place has been discovered, and you're all right." William asked.
"We're fine, but a couple of pirates have been caught," said Jack Sparrow, pausing, "someone said you did it." ”
"Me?"
William was stunned, "I didn't know about this. ”
"I know," said Jack Sparrow, "but these pirates are often overseas, and they can't offend anyone, except yours. ”
"That's why those pirates are suspicious of me?"
William frowned, "But, when it comes to offending people, I do remember that they sinned against a person, and that person was very difficult to deal with. ”
"Who?"
Jack Sparrow asked, confused.
"Moriati, a high-level crime."
William explained, "You know, he's an adversary that Sherlock admitted. ”
"Sounds amazing," Jack Sparrow said.
"You're not going to want to catch him, are you?"
William asked, confused.
"Of course not," Jack Sparrow refused, without thinking, "I'm more concerned about my curse and my chocolate factory than about it, and I know that Charlie is still too young, and I need to wait for him to grow up." ”
"yes," William couldn't help but nod as he thought of such a large chocolate factory, "By the way, I'm ready to touch the curse, when are you going to bring your group of sailors over to lift the curse." ”
"I want to ······ Soon. ”
