20. Detective phone porridge
When Lestrade heard the first sentence, he felt that something was wrong, and he knew a man who could speak in such a tone and had so much power, Mr. Mycroph Holmes, the brother of the bear child Sherlock Holmes, who claimed to be the last petty clerk of the government, and especially the final signing confirmed Lestrade's suspicions. At the end of the text message, he wished he could contact him when he was fine, which made Lestrade wonder what could make the man text him out of the blue.
Ten have** is related to Sherlock, the bear child.
He scratched his head, and said in his heart that he would ask when he had time.
Reistrade is a man with a sense of justice, and before that, Mycroft had planted a seed in his heart, saying that if Sherlock was left unattended, he would die alone, and the rebellious bear child reminded Reistrade of several of his own family. And now the sudden news makes him have to think in that direction.
"Dad, what is this M?"
If there is a question, Harry can't eliminate the relationship between this M and the person who gave them Dad's gift before, no matter how much he denies it in his heart.
Dear Detective, it sounds like a nickname!
Lestrade didn't want Mycroft to affect the children, so he laughed twice and said, "Just a friend, a friend." ”
Hannibal, who was teasing Raven, glanced at Lestrade, this lie was a deception to a child, how could someone as sensitive and intelligent as Harry believe it.
However, it was clear that Lestrade didn't want to say anything about this person's relationship with himself, and Harry pursed his lips and thought for a moment before revealing a big smile, "Then what does Dad want to reply?" ”
"Uh......" Reistrade thought of the three-piece Mr. Holmes, "and replied that he understood." ”
"Okay, Dad."
Harry secretly wrote down the phone number signed by M, whoever was behind it, at least it was the suitor of Lestrade they could suspect.
McCroft held his phone, and the reply from Lestrade made him smile slightly, which was really unexpected by the inspector.
Ding zero.
Lestrade's text message came again, and Harry dutifully read, "Thank you very much." ”
Lestrade gritted his teeth, that posturing bastard Mycrof Holmes!
Harry peeked at Lestrade, and it seemed that their Dad still cared about the "lady".
Mr. Mycroft Holmes is now a decent and dignified man in the hearts of the bears...... Lady.
The advantage of camping on non-holiday holidays is that there is no one, and the Lestrade family began to prepare their things when they arrived at their destination, tents, barbecue grills, picnic cloths, etc.
Younger ones, such as Merlin, were pushed aside and left to play on their own, such as the older Harry, who helped Lestrade with small things.
They were very efficient in their division of labor, and it only took half an hour for the huge tent to be set up.
The middle bear children who set up the tent were all helping, although some were unhelpful. But it was all ok, everyone had a short break before the barbecue, and Lestrade ran to a secluded corner with his phone, he struggled for a moment and then dialed the number signed M.
"Hello, Mr. Inspector."
The man's deep, magnetic voice rang on the other end of the line.
"Hello, Mr. Holmes."
"Hopefully I didn't disturb you and your family's vacation."
There was a smile in Mycroft's voice, and for some reason Reestrade felt like the man was standing in front of him and talking, and he could even imagine what Mycroft looked like now, the smile that seemed modest but was actually arrogant, or rather the smile of the Sherlock Holmes.
"Actually, you've already bothered."
Lestrade's words seemed to be talking to himself, but Mycroft heard it very clearly, and he laughed over there, and Lestrade blushed a little when he heard the laughter coming out of his phone for some reason, as if he was being laughed at.
"Mr. Inspector, I don't mean to laugh at you, I just think you're still ......"
McCroft stopped his words, and the latter sentence "It's still quite cute" was swallowed back by him, the word cute is obviously very different from Inspector Lestrade's usual image, and if it is said it is not like a compliment, but like a disparagement, the most important thing is ...... The word cute Mycroft thought about it for a moment, but it was a bit ambiguous.
"What?"
"Nothing, please give me a chance to express my apologies in the future."
Mycroft wouldn't tell him what he had just thought about him, he shifted the subject to the apology, and Lestrade was taken away, "By the way, I haven't thanked you for helping me solve my trouble, although I don't really need to." ”
Lestrade is not a fool, even if he is not as intelligent as two Sherlock Holmes, but he is already very smart compared to most people, and of course he knows that if McCroft does it, the man's fate will not be much better. In Lestrade's opinion, Mycroft is another slap on the back, and he can't pretend he doesn't know anything for the sake of his uneasy bear child brother.
"Tell me, what's wrong with Sherlock Holmes, the bear child."
Lestrade didn't want to go around in circles with Mycroft anymore, and if he was going to go in circles, he didn't know how long it would take, and the man on the other end of the phone was unexpectedly talkative and very good at talking, and he would accidentally fall into his way. There was another low laugh in his ears, and Lestrade thought to himself, is the man in the three-piece suit a person who loves to laugh?
"I really can't hide anything from Mr. Inspector, and the reason I bothered Inspector is indeed because of Sherlock."
The thought of his rebellious brother made Mycroft want to take a long breath, he must find a way to pull Lestrade into this circle completely, and if Sherlock Holmes did not have a guardian, who knows what the hell he will make of himself.
The thought of the phone call between the two of them today gave McCroft a headache, and the bear kid not only laughed at him, but also found out the surveillance.
Mycroft's voice, which had just been able to laugh, began to drop significantly, and he told Lestrade about Sherlock's recent state, which was no doubt that he was a real addict, which made him extremely distressed as an older brother.
"Since you know about him, why don't you help him get off drugs?"
"My brother is very rebellious, especially since we still have a lot of unclear entanglements before, if I force him to quit drugs, he will run far away, go to places that I can't find anymore."
After listening to McCroft's words, Lestrade had already marked Sherlock with the word "not worth a bear"! This is simply the most bearish bear child he has ever seen, there is no one.
"What do you want me to do? Do you think that what I say, your brother Sherlock Holmes? ”
Lestrade compromised, I don't know if it was for Sherlock, a genius bear child, or because he sympathized with Mycroft, who had a headache for the bear child on the other end of the phone, in short, he agreed to help Sherlock, which was the most important thing.
"Thank you so much for agreeing, I just hope that the Inspector can visit my little brother on Montague Street when he has some free time."
Mycroft didn't dare to ask too much, to deal with people like Lestrade had to be gradual, little by little to lead him into the "abyss", before Lestrade said that his case didn't need a drug, Mycroft couldn't monitor Sherlock but he thought Lestrade could, so if you want Sherlock to completely get rid of drugs, you need Lestrade's help.
"Good...... I'll schedule it after the camping is over. ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Inspector, and look forward to seeing you next time."
The voice on the other end of the phone was gone, and Lestrade touched his cheek, well, what if it was a little hot.
In fact, Lestrade didn't know that while he was on the phone with McCroft, Harry eavesdropped for a while and then left, and on the way to his brothers, Harry thought about the words he had just heard, "I haven't thanked you for helping me solve my trouble...... "What's wrong?" "What do you want me to do".
He heard it intermittently, but it didn't affect Harry's judgment, and there was a smile on his face from time to time......
Several bear children gathered to further observe the change in Lestrade's expression, and by the way, analyze the identity on the other end of the phone.
There were eight people in total, except for Tony, Merlin, and Raven who did not participate in the vote, the remaining five people had two opinions at first, first they were sure that the person on the other end of the phone must be the person who sent them a text message to Dad on the road with the signature M, but it was not certain whether this M was Dad's suitor or not. Harold thinks they're overthinking, but Hannibal is sure it has something to do with it.
It was only when Lestrade put down the phone that Harold chose to agree with Hannibal because their Dad had been on the phone for half an hour! Half an hour! And I'm smiling all the time! It doesn't matter if there are ghosts!
"M is Dad's suitor!"
