220. You're like my friend
When John Watson helped Sherlock send those text messages, he was thinking about what kind of family would raise such an arrogant child as Sherlock, as if he was in front of Inspector Lestrade, which made Watson feel that Sherlock was a very interesting person.
And the case and Sherlock's ability to observe.
For John Watson, Sherlock Holmes was an incredible being.
It's just that sometimes he is really annoyed, like when he was helping him to send a text message, Sherlock was still there urging him, and after Watson yelled at him, Sherlock pouted, thinking that the speed of the goldfish was slow.
But Sherlock was always right, and when Watson's phone showed an unfamiliar number, Sherlock's eyes lit up, and then Sherlock invited him to go and see if he wanted to.
Sherlock's reasoning sounds a bit ridiculous, but it's also a fact, Sherlock says that talking about it helps him think, but it's just that he is holding Mr. Bones alone is really a bit noticeable, and Watson's words are at least alive. Speaking of which, before that, Sherlock liked to deal with the bear children, and at that time, it was not so much to help clear the mind, but to discuss and find other clues.
Sherlock didn't compare Watson with the rebellious bear children of the Lestrades family, and there were only a few people in this world who didn't look like goldfish, and it just so happened that the Restriders also had a quota.
He looked at the doctor in front of him, John Watson is an adventurous person, he likes to be adventurous in his bones, and ordinary life will not satisfy him, but Sherlock also likes his loyalty to his friends, and there are actually few who can resist the attack of McCroft's sugar-coated cannonballs, and the last time he resisted was taken down by McCroft's dead fat man, and the two fell in love and became fiancés.
And this ...... When he went to the agreed place, Sherlock secretly looked at him again, obviously having some financial difficulties, but still chose not to accept the money offered by Mycroft, he was indeed a good person who looked soft/soft.
Watson wanted to go back the moment he thought he was Sherlock's date, and he didn't quite understand what kind of image Sherlock usually gave people in order to make his landlady and the restaurant owner think he was his date.
Watson asked Sherlock if he had a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Hearing Watson's question, Sherlock glanced at him and immediately refused, his emotional intelligence has never been used in the right place, he does feel that the conversation between the two of them is a little subtle, but why does it become subtle Sherlock is also confused, is it true that feelings, especially love, are they so important to a person.
He then turned his head to Watson and said, "Affection is not necessary for me, and John I think I should show you that I have seen my work as my other half, though I appreciate your kindness......"
Watson cursed himself for this terrible conversation, but he definitely didn't mean to ask Sherlock the most, and ...... If you're married to a job, you're probably the only one.
Sherlock had begun to stare intently, he didn't need any emotion, affection was a burden to them, although the man who had said this to him before had found his other half. He often sees Lestrade and McCroft showing affection, and in his opinion, why can two people feel happy together.
He pursed his lips and continued to think about feelings.
Watson probably didn't expect him to experience a distance movement after eating, and at the same time, looking at Sherlock, who pretended to be a London policeman, he didn't know why he was smiling so happily, according to Sherlock, as long as Inspector Lestrade was annoying, he would have his papers, and said that he had a lot of relevant documents in his home.
Of course, Lestrade knew where his papers had gone, and Sherlock had probably taken it as a pleasure to take his papers, and to be honest, he was just retaliating against him because Sherlock was casually doing things at home, or if he didn't go home and nag him!
By the way, there is also McCroft's thing.
There was no clue about the case, but Sherlock said that the dead lady had a suitcase, which was really a disappearing suitcase, and he touched the nicotine patch on his arm, which kept him excited, and instead of cigarettes, Lestrade would only use it in difficult cases.
It was about nine o'clock in the evening, and Lestrade had called his fiancé after coming out of the crime scene, and he wanted to ask what the children were doing, and by the way, McCroft might not be able to go back tonight.
Mycroft said that he had just met with John Watson, and by the way, he praised Sherlock's vision of choosing a roommate, at least this John Watson was not a person who would betray Sherlock.
Lestrade leaned back in his seat and chuckled, "You hijacked someone in your little black car, didn't you?" Wow, Mike, we'll need to talk about your life-threatening desires after I'm done with this case. ”
"Honey, if that's the case, I want our conversation to take place on the bed/, and you can sit on top of me......"
Lestrade's cheeks were slightly red, and Mycroft was cheeky with a capital letter, and he coughed and said, "Gentleman, my sir." I'm going to continue investigating the case when I get home. ”
After calling Mycroft, Lestrade had one more thing to do, and that was to ask the little bastard Sherlock about his progress, and if he found the lady's suitcase, he needed to get it back as evidence.
It's just that no matter how much you call or text Sherlock, the bastard ignores himself, and Lestrade looks at his phone and says that Sherlock is ready to fight alone again, but he can't always follow Sherlock's rhythm, he has to solve the case and go home quickly.
When Donovan asked him what to do next, Lestrade pursed his lips and smiled, he had a way to fix Sherlock, "Go to 221B Baker Street, we'll wait for the rabbit." ”
Donovan blinked, not understanding what his head meant, but looking at his smug smile, he thought that Lestrade must have thought of something.
"221B Baker Street?"
"Sherlock's new home."
Donovan had forgotten that Sherlock had moved out of their leader's house, and that the freak had been living in their leader's house all along, like a parasite.
"Congratulations on getting rid of the freak, chief."
Lestrade is also helpless about these grievances, and in general, he can't unilaterally say that his team has done anything wrong, after all, they are all police officers of the Scotland Yard Murder Team, and it is understandable that they are arrogant, and it is difficult to fight when they encounter Sherlock, who is unforgiving.
"Donovan."
Donovan, who was sternly called out by Lestrade, stopped talking, and then sat in the back seat and closed his eyes without speaking, compared to them, Lestrade has been towards Sherlock from the very beginning, which has always made Donovan very unhappy, obviously they were Lestrade's subordinates at the beginning.
When he came to 221B Baker Street, Sherlock was not at home, thinking that he did not reply to his text messages, she guessed that he probably ran out to check the clues, and Mrs. Hudson was still very strange when she saw Lestrade, she thought that the detective should be investigating the case, how did he come to her.
So Mrs. Hudson said that Sherlock was not at home, and Lestrade looked at Mrs. Hudson and said, "Let's go in and wait for him, you don't have to worry about us." ”
Mrs. Hudson was still very obedient, but she wondered if there was anything else going on as she looked at the large crowd of people following behind Lestrade.
Lestrade led dozens of officers upstairs, and even though he knew that Sherlock had messed up his room, Lestrade was still uncomfortable when he looked at it again.
As soon as Anderson entered the second floor, he saw the pink suitcase on the chair, which was carried by the fourth victim that Sherlock had told them, and he had sworn that the murderer had taken it.
Anderson stepped forward to look at the opened suitcase and said to their leader, Lestrade, "Look, this suitcase is here in Sherlock, and I doubt that this case is ...... Sherlock Holmes."
"Shut up!"
Anderson immediately closed his mouth when he heard Lestrade yelling at himself, he just made a guess, and did not say that it must have been Sherlock who did the case, but Anderson was very suspicious that Sherlock had only started to follow up now and was very different from his usual positive appearance, so he was not blamed for suspecting anything.
Lestrade looked at the pink suitcase and thought to himself that Sherlock's bear child must have found something and ran out with his new roommate, and they just had to wait here and wait for Sherlock.
But Sherlock does need the slightest bit of a threat, and the fuck guy ignores his calls and texts.
Lestrade sat down on the sofa where Sherlock usually sits, leaned back on the soft backrest / crossed his legs / and said to his men: "Check that there is no such thing as cocaine in Sherlock's house, and since he is not willing to cooperate well, let's find a way." ”
Probably hearing that they could check Sherlock's home, Anderson and they also came to the spirit, Sherlock had also heard about the cocaine injection before, if they could catch something, Sherlock's face saw the unhappy expression, they could be happy for a week.
So Donovan waved his hand and the people who had just come in with them began to check, but Lestrade didn't expect them to really find anything, after the move, he helped Sherlock to simply sort through his things, and found no cocaine-related items, because the chance of Sherlock repeating the threat he had last time was also very small.
However, this can be a proper threat to Sherlock, after all, his real things other than cocaine are not very understandable to normal people.
"Be careful not to mess things up, or there won't be any threat to Sherlock."
They were all cautious when they heard Lestrade's words, and Lestrade took the opportunity to look at the familiar room, and he was sure that John Watson hadn't moved in yet, but it was only a matter of time, given that Sherlock had already chosen to start adjusting to Watson's existence.
When they didn't find anything, Sherlock returned, and Lestrade smiled when he heard the sound of his steps coming upstairs, probably knowing that they were coming.
When Sherlock pushed open the door, he saw Lestrade sitting on his sofa, he didn't look out of sight at all, leaning there with his hands on his side and crossing his legs, Sherlock looked at Lestrade and said to him, "Why did you trespass on the house?" ”
"Why didn't you say that you were following me when you groped to my house, and besides, Sherlock, why did you hide the evidence, and my anti-drug operation is not trespassing."
Back then, Lestrade really wanted to take Sherlock to his home for a while to help him get rid of drugs, but before he could pick him up, Sherlock actually groped up and rang the doorbell of their house directly.
And Lestrade thinks he has a good reason that Sherlock can't refuse.
Watson really didn't know Sherlock, he saw this side of Sherlock and didn't know what he used to be like, but Mycroft said yes, John Watson had a strong sense of justice, and even stood up to speak for Sherlock when he didn't know anything, and Lestrade raised an eyebrow at Sherlock.
Sherlock could see that Lestrade was watching a play about himself and John Watson, and although Watson was defending him, he was happy, but he was ...... This maintenance can be done without Reescland, and Sherlock can probably guess what Reesctrade will say when the case is over.
The smile on Lestrade's face never went down, and sure enough, John Watson was a sincere man, but he was also a man who could protect Sherlock.
Donovan found Sherlock's eyeballs, which he had brought back from Butz Hospital, because he put it in the microwave, and he wouldn't use it anyway, but who knew they even had to turn over the microwave.
"Have you finally gotten to the point where you can play with your eyeballs one by one?"
Sherlock once brought back human heads, as well as human fingers, hearts, etc., as long as it was a human body that could be dissected, he took it home, but for the sake of the physical and mental health of the bear children in the family, Lestrade banned the appearance of this kind of horrible and bloody thing in the house, which made Sherlock return the research to a normal stage, who knew that he had just been released to live on his own for a month and did everything he couldn't do before.
Lestrade is actually threatening Sherlock in the open, Sherlock turns around in front of him twice and then starts to say that he is naïve, and Lestrade laughs and can only do anything, and besides, the real kid between the two of them is actually Sherlock, isn't it?
"Who called you a little baby who hasn't grown up, little Charlie."
"Don't call that damn name!"
A Charlie and a Mike are the last names the Sherlock Holmes brothers want to hear.
Watson listened a little foggy, it seems that Lestrade and Sherlock seem to have a very good relationship, it can be detected from the words, and Lestrade looked at him with all the eyes in it, Watson should ask Sherlock after scratching his head, don't hurt Sherlock's friend by mistake.
In the end, they chose to work together, and Sherlock was worried that they would really turn something out when he turned it over, although he didn't inject cocaine anymore, but he still had a cigarette hidden in secret, and if he was discovered, Lestrade would definitely nag endlessly.
"Okay, cooperate."
There's only one option he's got now, damn Lestrade is letting him choose this, and John Watson don't stare at you and think hard, the sound of your thinking is already affecting me.
Watson needs to explain, a lot of explanations.
It's just that the most important thing now is the case, Sherlock finally understood why the lady was so painful to write down a name before she died, in fact, that name is a password, and now mobile phones are smart phones, which can be used to work online, etc., and at the same time, it can also locate the location like the IP of the computer, if it weren't for the fact that the network is becoming more and more developed now, maybe Sherlock would still have to go to Harold or Tony for help at this step.
It's just that the positioning has always been in 221B, and Lestrade glanced at Sherlock, and that look seemed to ask again, are you sure you're right this time?
Sherlock also frowned, this is impossible, why is he here...... Unless it's that person coming......
Sherlock was a bold man, and he followed the killer because he wanted to know how the murderer made these people commit suicide.
Lestrade waited upstairs for a long time and didn't wait for Sherlock, and Anderson and they were urging him to leave immediately, he had no choice but to leave temporarily and wait for Sherlock's news, but Sherlock together would not make Sherlock a little worried, so he took two slow steps and patted Watson on the shoulder and said to him: "If there is anything to call me, Sherlock will also ask him to send me a text message when he comes back." ”
Watson nodded, he didn't know where Sherlock had gone, but he didn't believe that Sherlock's judgment was wrong, didn't they get that mysterious call before?
This time Sherlock followed the murderer and no one knew that it was also an oversight on Mycroft's side, his current position is close to very stable, and most people have to think and think and act if they want to move, so he will rarely send his agents to follow Sherlock and Lestrade to protect the two of them, who knows that there has been no accident for a long time, but this time he has stumbled.
Watson probably never doubted Sherlock, and he had never doubted the authenticity of Sherlock's words since the two men first met, and immediately called Lestrade, who had left the phone, after discovering that the location of the phone had changed, and gave Sherlock a rough description of his location.
Lestrade glanced at the time, it was now past ten o'clock, hoping that their bear child was not asleep, if they wanted to find Sherlock's location quickly, they needed the support of a foreign helper, and at the same time, Lestrade also needed to inform Mycroft.
Harold hadn't expected Sherlock to cause such trouble in the middle of the night, and he was just about to fall asleep when he was poached, yawning to see that he had used the email given by Lestrade to locate the phone.
It was a very remote place, and it would take at least half an hour for Harold to tell his own Dad if he wanted to get there.
Although Mycroft, who was waiting at home, thought that there should be no problem with Sherlock, he couldn't sit still and called Anthea and himself to take a look, and by the way, in the name of picking up Lestrade from work.
Watson knew that Sherlock was bold, but he didn't know that he was so bold that he took the initiative to put the poison in his mouth, and he shot in another building......
Damn Sherlock Holmes, he's a troublesome physique, like that Donovan detective said.
Watson thought so as he hurried to destroy the evidence.
Sherlock got a name from the driver's mouth, Moriarty, he had never heard of it, so it wouldn't be a good thing if someone was interested in him, he needed Harold's help now, and he believed that there was nothing Harold couldn't find.
Sitting in the ambulance, Sherlock was draped in a blanket and looked at Reestrade walking towards him, who looked a little helpless and a little ...... Angry, Sherlock took the first step and said to Lestrade: "I don't want to listen to your nagging, I have already said that I am an adult and not the group of imps in your family. ”
Lestrade slapped Sherlock on the head heavily, that was really eager to shoot people stupid, this bear child will never make people worry, and even took the initiative to go with the murderer, when Scotland Yard was upstairs.
"If only you could be so obedient to Harry, but I don't want to care about you now, and it's nice to finally have someone who doesn't dislike you being your roommate."
Lestrade didn't want to curse in the middle of the night, anyway, when the case was closed, he would go with McCroft to visit everyone at 221B Baker Street, and at that time he would just forget the old and new hatreds together.
"John Watson looks like a nice guy."
Sherlock lifted the blanket from his body, "Lestrade, you're talking more and more like Mommy, even more like Mommy than Mommy." ”
"Who told you to be a baby Sherlock who never grows up, I'd love to worry less."
Once again, the rescuers draped Sherlock in a blanket, and Lestrade wanted to laugh at the fact that Sherlock looked like a fried-haired critter, and that it was a critter that others thought had received a frightened fur.
They didn't know anything about the gunman, and even Sherlock, who was the most responsive, didn't see who fired the gun, but he could analyze it.
"You find this man, maybe he served in the military...... ...... will of steel"
Sherlock saw Watson waiting outside the cordon, and he also saw him, I don't know why Sherlock stopped his language and looked at Watson so stupidly, the analysis just now matched the person he was looking at.
Lestrade also looked at Watson, the doctor is still a military doctor, with strong willpower and a strong sense of justice, because he saves lives and helps the wounded on weekdays, so he will not shoot unless he has to......
"Looks like we've found the gunman."
“Ye…… Nonono, what I just said is nonsense. ”
Sherlock still wants to save Watson, if Lestrade reports that he is the gunman, he will inevitably be asked, but can Lestrade still not understand Sherlock, he is afraid to pat Sherlock on the shoulder and said: "I don't know anything, as a family point of view, I am glad that Watson saved you." ”
Family, Lestrade has always defined their relationship like this, they have always been family.
"So you need me to say something? For example...... Thank you? ”
"Shut up, Sherlock. Do what you want, such as go back and take a hot shower, or eat a late-night snack. ”
Lestrade is giving an eviction order, anyway, even if he knows that it was Watson who fired the shot, Sherlock has a way to rationalize this qiē incomparably, and he doesn't even need to go through Sherlock's hand to have a super big brother who can help him solve a good qiē.
Watson never imagined that the man who had "kidnapped" himself far away would be ...... Sherlock's brother?! Obviously, the two don't look very alike.
The man named McCroft said that he was just here to pay his brother's condolences, and Sherlock retorted without showing weakness, "Yes, by the way, won't you pick up your fiancé from work?" The case is over anyway, and you can have countless reasons for him not to work overtime. ”
"Sherlock, you're jealous."
Watson then digested the news, such as his fiancé for example, getting off work, Sherlock's brother was a Gay who was engaged, and his significant other was from Scotland Yard, and it was a powerful message that Watson needed to slow himself down.
"I haven't seen you gain weight again in a month."
Weight is always a topic of discussion between two people, and McCroft won't admit that it's because he has been secretly eating supper recently, but is saying that he is losing weight, and Ancia, who was standing on the other side, looked up at Mycroft, lose weight? Wow, if Inspector Lestrade heard about it, he would definitely force her boss to implement this so-called weight loss plan.
Looking at Sherlock's back, Mycroft felt the feeling that his younger brother had finally grown up, but it was really impossible to say whether Watson's appearance was good or bad, as if Lestrade was a moral bottom line that constrained himself, but Mycroft promised that if someone hurt Lestrade, he would come back regardless of a qiē counterattack.
If Sherlock is really emotionally invested in this new roommate, perhaps they need to increase their monitoring of Sherlock and John Watson, and whether John Watson is a savior or a poison will only be able to be proved by time.
When Mycroft sent a text message to Lestrade after Sherlock had gone away, telling him that he was here to wait for him to get off work, Lestrade glanced at his phone and smiled shallowly.
Sherlock could see that Watson had a lot of questions, and when they wanted to use the supper for the day, Sherlock finally said to Watson, "Well, if you have any questions, I'm still reluctant to answer them for you." ”
Watson nodded, it was better to be like this, he really had a lot of questions, first of all, about Sherlock's family, he really didn't believe that person was Sherlock's brother, he obviously looked like a behind-the-scenes boss, of course, he also expressed this opinion just now.
"Your brother, your relationship doesn't look great."
"Yes, to be honest, the person I hate the most in this world is Mycroft, and the grievances between the two of us can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences."
Watson nodded, he brought the relationship between Sherlock and Mycroft into himself and Harry, probably the kind that has not been on the same page since childhood, this kind of relationship is actually very common, but it can be seen that McCroft still cares about Sherlock.
"You seem to be familiar with that Inspector Lestrade just now, don't you?"
John Hukou Watson, Sherlock probably had some patience with Watson, and he laughed out loud when he heard Watson's question, "Reestrade? Anyway, he was my former landlord and my guardian, and though I didn't want to admit it, I lived in his house for five years and lured the wolf to him. ”
Sherlock didn't say anything as close as friend or family, because he didn't really want to admit it, and it was too hard for him to say it.
"Wolves?"
Sherlock gave Watson the first roll of his eyes, "Didn't you even notice?" Lestrade and McCroft are fiancés, and they both have the same ring on their hands. ”
Watson opened his mouth and almost let the dumplings fall out of his mouth, and the same Inspector Greg Lestrade and Mycrof Holmes just now were ...... Lover?
It seems that this detective's identity is really special.
"Then you'll understand, trust me and the two of them will definitely visit us recently, I'm going to find a way to hide."
Sherlock didn't want the two of them to nag him together, especially since Mycroft would have laughed at what he had done before, and he always did.
Watson's question was half answered.
Sherlock quickly ate the dumplings on his plate, and although the dumplings in this Chinese restaurant tasted good, they were still not as delicious as Hannibal's, and he touched his chin and maybe when he should go back and take Watson to taste Hannibal's food.
"Lestrade is an interesting man, and then you will know, when I take you to his house to eat, believe me you will not eat better than Hannibal's cooking."
Sherlock didn't say that he wanted to do Harold a favor by the way, to find out a person's news, no matter who this Moriarti is, how interesting the game is, Sherlock has to be a confidant, it is impossible for Moriarti to know himself too well, and he doesn't know anything about Moriarti.
That night, because the upstairs room had not been cleaned up, Sherlock also thought that Watson had done him a great favor and that it was a little bad for the family to live on the sofa, so he first offered to share the bed, knowing that Sherlock had not shared his bed with anyone else, except for the younger ones of the Lestrade family who had occupied his bed.
Watson originally refused, but he looked at the sofa and was indeed uncomfortable, so he could only smile and say to Sherlock: "Okay, I can only accept your kindness." ”
Sherlock smiled brightly, good, this should be the first step to making friends.
It's early in the morning, early on January 31.
Today has really experienced too many things, more than Watson has done in the past few years, it is so exciting, he believes that he will not lack excitement, and McCroft said that the psychological pressure on him is not because of fear of the battlefield, but because of yearning for the battlefield.
"You must have a lot of interesting things, or a lot of interesting cases."
"Of course, believe me, there are a lot of perverts in London, and I've seen more crazy than this brother before."
Sherlock was a little smug when he spoke, both of them were lying flat on the bed/, with some distance in between, and even then even in the dark life could feel Sherlock's proud look.
"If you want to hear it, I'll talk to you about those things later."
If anyone in the Lestrades family or Mycroft heard this, they would have broken their glasses, and when had Sherlock ever taken the initiative to show off about his past.
Watson giggled, and he replied yes, he probably knew what he was supposed to write about his blog.
Before falling asleep, Watson suddenly said to Sherlock, "Your voice is somewhat similar to the friend I've been looking for. ”
Watson didn't wait for Sherlock to talk, he just vaguely remembered John Tolan's voice, which was really a little bit like Sherlock.
"His name is John Tolan, and I've been looking for him since I got back to London, and I wouldn't have set foot in battle if I hadn't thought he wouldn't have set foot in battle."
Sherlock closed his eyes and silently repeated the name John Tolan in his mind, unusually familiar, but as if it had been heard years ago.
Sherlock thought hard for a moment, and eventually he found information about the name in his temple of thought.
John Tolan = Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock pursed his lips This news must not let the people around him know, he has seen him, and by the way, he also lied to him, absolutely must not let John Watson know, otherwise he will probably be ...... Killed.
