Two days passed when Lestrade was completely cured, and he wanted to go to work after the fever subsided, but who knew that the little Lestrade at home said that they would not agree to him to go to work sick, so Lestrade's little opinion was "suppressed by force".

Joke, how could the bear children agree that Lestrade was going to work with illness, the last time he went to work because of a fever, he finally fell completely ill, and he wanted to work before he got better, they would not agree to anything.

There is no way to go back to work immediately, Reestrade can only obediently take medicine and eat well, at this special moment, their family is no longer Reestrid's final say, all the bear children listen to what Harry says and take care of their Dad. Lestrade could only find a way to please his eldest son, and he had good things to say about Harry, but who knew that Harry did not relax his guard at all.

This incident even made Sherlock laugh at Lestrade for a long time, no way, it was so funny that a father was strictly guarded by his own children.

In response to Sherlock's ridicule, Lestrade said that when he was sick or injured, he would also be treated at this royal level.

Sherlock expressed deep disdain, first of all, he would not let himself be hurt, let alone stupidly sick, and secondly, the little Lestrades would not treat him like this.

After all, the little Lestrades have one thing in common, and Sherlock doesn't think he's that ...... Short.

He waited until Lestrade was completely well before he asked for leave from Harry, and then had time to make a trip to Scotland Yard, and although he had learned the basics about Oliver James on the phone, he still wanted to go to the bureau to see the text that had been put together.

Because of his sudden illness, the case of Oliver James's brutal injury was snatched from the Homicide Unit by another team and became the case of another detective. Lestrade didn't say anything against it, after all, after analysis, the possibility of this case becoming an unsolved case is simply too great, so no matter who it is handed over, it will not be a merit in the resume.

Ogre Oliver James is also about to be put on trial, and Lestrade speculates that this Mr. Oliver James will spend the rest of his life in prison, possibly for more than a hundred years.

After all, his case is very bad this time, isn't it?

When the detectives of the Scotland Yard Murder Unit were surprised when they saw Lestrade, Donovan stepped forward and frowned slightly and looked at Lestrade who was still slightly pale and said, "Boss? Are you alright? ”

"Of course, how else would I have escaped the clutches of our little angels."

Lestrade spread his hands with a helpless expression, to be honest, he just looked a little paler now, the strength in his body had long since recovered, and he even thought that he was still a pound fatter than before he fell ill.

Regardless, Donovan was happy to see Lestrade recover, and Donovan was taken aback when she learned that he was sick, and she watched as Lestrade stepped forward and hugged the man with open arms, "Welcome back, chief." ”

Lestrade patted the female subordinate on the back, and finally escaped from the hands of the bear children and ascended to heaven, in fact, he was also very happy.

Merely......

"Now I need all the information about the ogre case, a final review."

Lestrade glanced at the time on his watch, he only had two hours left to do free, and if he didn't go back in two hours, Harry would probably be "wanted" him.

Donovan quickly put the information that Lestrade asked for on his desk, but she didn't leave immediately, but stood there and stopped, and Lestrade had to put down the information in his hand and looked at Donovan and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Donovan pursed his lips and took a step forward and bent down to say to Lestrade: "Boss, the follow-up case about Oliver James was robbed by them, obviously trying to steal our limelight. ”

It turned out that it was because of this incident, Lestrade looked at Donovan funny, it is a good thing for young people to be energetic, but if they care too much about fame and fortune, they will forget their original intention, Lestrade stared at Donovan's eyes, he suddenly remembered that Donovan is a person who pays a lot of attention to fame, as if she had been opposed to her turning to Sherlock for help, and a big reason was related to the disgrace of Scotland Yard and their group.

As the first cadre under his subordinates, Lestrade thinks that he should remind her, otherwise it will be bad if he falls into some misunderstanding in the future.

"Then let me ask you, is the murder case we have for Oliver James closed?"

Lestrade asked, pointing to the paper clip in his hand.

Donovan shook his head, and had not yet formally closed the case and submitted the final document to the above.

"Good, so that means we didn't have much time to investigate another case." Lestrade wanted to lead Donovan step by step, but who knew that Donovan would further refute his words.

Donovan said, "No, if you are here, this case must be ours, and we have already begun to inquire about Oliver James, who bullied you into falling ill and snatched the case out of our hands." ”

Lestrade sighed helplessly, what good is it to have more cases backlogged in his hands? What's more, it's still a case with no clues.

"Yes, we did interrogate Oliver James, but did it come to fruition? Do you think we can learn anything from our mysterious murderer, who not only broke Oliver James's wrist, but also cut out his tongue? Donovan tried to refute but Lestrade didn't give her a chance, "And I see that the information you handed in also said that Oliver James doesn't want to cooperate with us now, so the chances of finding the mysterious murderer are even smaller." ”

Donovan had to admit that Ogre Oliver James was no longer able to provide them with any information, and that he looked like he was resistant to the police, and not as actively cooperating as he had been at the beginning.

"And what do you think are the odds of such a murderer committing a crime?"

"I don't know."

This murderer is far more mysterious than Oliver James, and even more so than Oliver James in terms of technique and mentality.

"But...... Maybe we're ......"

"Oh Donovan, there's nothing possible, we are already very busy with the ogre case that we have not closed, and it is impossible for everyone's energy to solve another case in a short period of time, and it is understandable to hand it over to other teams, it is not something to rob. If the next team can catch this mysterious murderer is their ability, we should be happy for them that another criminal has been caught/caught, to be honest, since when did you pay so much attention to honor? ”

Donovan was speechless when Lestrade said, Donovan was not like this at the beginning, she was very enthusiastic and proactive about the case, of course, this initiative did not involve a series of things such as honors later, but probably because the position was getting higher and higher, and her original intention began to change.

Lestrade saw that Donovan didn't speak so he waved her hand and asked her to leave first, this kind of thing still depends on Donovan himself to figure it out, to be honest, many detectives in Scotland Yard have forgotten their original intentions, as if those who sat at the top were also very enthusiastic little policemen at the beginning.

"Dear Greg, not everyone is as innocent as you are."

Lestrade looked up at a familiar voice, and he laughed as the man seemed to have eavesdropped on their conversation uninvited. The man closed the door consciously, and then sat down before Lestrade invited him, and he crossed his hands in front of his stomach and sat back in the chair in front of Lestrade's desk, looking at Lestrade with a shallow smile on his face.

"Then dear Mr. McCroft, is your original intention still there?"

Mycroft smiled, what is that kind of thing, Mycroft has never had that kind of thing, he just wanted to climb up when he first became an agent, Chuxin? That kind of thing doesn't belong to McCroft, probably Sherlock does.

"Dear Greg, you should know that people's ** is not satisfied, and the original intention is just talk, not everyone is like you."

If the people in this world were like Lestrade, probably the world would be peaceful, and there would not be so many "vampires". Lestrade scratched his head, was the man complimenting him?

In view of the fact that the question of original intention is too difficult to investigate, Lestrade changed the topic, when did this three-piece old gentleman turn out to be so leisurely and have time to visit Scotland Yard, and really let their little police station shine.

"So, dear Mr. McCroft, what is it that has brought you over personally? Shylock? If you want to find him, you should go to Butz Hospital, not our little police station. ”

Reestrade was so exaggerated that McCroft chuckled, and he tilted his head to Reistrade and said, "Can't I come and pay my respects to the hard-working inspectors?" ”

Lestrade pouted, who could believe what McCroft said, condolences to the inspectors? Aha, since when did the "British government" also care about these petty civil servants. Lestrade glanced at him angrily and then tapped the watch on his wrist, "The leaders are walking slowly upstairs, I think those vampires will warmly welcome you when they know you're coming." ”

What kind of person is Mycroft, that is, Ancia and the director of Scotland Yard have lunch together, it is all a blessing from their director, Ancia has a lot of power as the first secretary under Mycroft, and Ancya's invitation made the vampires of Scotland Yard excited for a long time, if she saw Mycroft, she would probably draw it.

"Dear Greg, can't you see that I'm here to visit you?"

Hearing Mycroft's question, Lestrade lowered his head and snickered, of course, he could see that he just wanted Mycroft to say it himself. In order not to let Mycroft see that he was snickering, he cleared his throat and said, "Really? Thank you so much, dear Mr. Mycroft Holmes. ”

What is McCroft here for?

The first is to take a look at Lestrade's physical condition, he has been a little busy lately, and finally took some time/time, originally wanted to go to Lestrade's apartment, who knew that he heard that others ran out to work, so he took a temporary turn and came to Scotland Yard. Secondly and most importantly, Anthea has already sorted out some files, and selected the most suitable ones from the tens of thousands of suitable women in London according to the type she likes and needs.

In other words, Mycroft actually came to see if Lestrade had time to participate in a blind date recently, from a blind date arranged by Mycroft himself.

Ancia screened out a total of dozens of candidates, and let him look at them in front of Mycroft, after further screening by Mycroft, a total of ten people were selected for this blind date, each of them is a gentle personality, the type that loves children, and they are all very good-looking.

When Ancia saw the file that was left behind, she didn't know what words to use to express her feelings, every woman is beautiful, and at a glance, it must be the type that Lestrade likes, her boss is not just setting up a love rival for herself, the most important thing is not one!

She didn't remind Mycroft of anything, and when she wasn't completely sure of her feelings, Anthea feared that her reminder would backfire.

So before McCroft's arrangement, as the first secretary of the British government, Anthea had already begun to prepare for these blind dates, and it was bound that the time and place of each blind date must be perfect, and Mycroft also strangely arranged that she must be present on every blind date, so that Ancia was even more misty about Mycroft's real feelings for Lestrade.

While helping Lestrade find a girlfriend and a future wife, she also has to participate in every blind date, which makes Ancia look sad about Lestrade's blind date time and McCroft's recent business trip.

It's impossible to achieve complete coordination between the two! If this is really arranged, then it will take almost half a year by the time Inspector Lestrade is done one by one.

But regardless of whether the blind date will be all over for now, McCroft is determined to help Lestrade find a girlfriend this time.

"Remember what you said when we went on vacation?"

Lestrade tilted his head and thought, did he say anything strange? Holiday? That was half a year ago, why did you suddenly take it out at this time.

"What...... Speech? ”

McCroft guessed that Lestrade wouldn't remember, after all, it was just a small complaint from a man who had just fallen out of love, after drinking.

"You said you want a family like your parents, two people who are loving/loving and happy with their children."

Mycroft repeated what Lestrade had said at the time, word for word, and Lestrade's eyes widened, and he remembered what he had said to Mycroft that night in his Bournemouth villa after drinking, and the man not only remembered it word for word.

"I did say that, but does it matter?"

Obviously, Lestrade not only didn't expect McCroft to remember these words, but also didn't expect that he would actually find a suitable girl for him.

"I think you need a wife, a wife who understands your work, who can take care of you, and who can even love little Lethride."

Lestrade laughed, listening to what McCroft said was simple, but where to find such a wife? Is it up to God to pull out his ribs and make a woman?

"Are you drunk, Mycroft?"

Lestrade was skeptical that Mycroft was talking nonsense, or else that it had been his life's work.

"Greg, when do you think I've ever been drunk? I'm serious about it, you really need someone to take care of you, take care of your family, and fulfill your ideals. ”

Mycroft was speaking very seriously and didn't look like a joke at all, but Lestrade laughed, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, Mycroft must be abnormal today, otherwise how could he have talked about his girlfriend.

McCroft glanced at Lestrade helplessly, because his emotional intelligence had fallen to the bottom because of repeated relationship failures, "Maybe there are no suitable women in your neighborhood, but it doesn't mean that there are no suitable women registered in London." ”

“WhattheF……”

"After a small screening between Anthea and me, we have arranged ten blind dates for you."

McCroft showed a Sherlock Holmes-style smirk, so that Lestrade didn't know how to refuse when he saw this smile, but what the hell is a blind date?! It's still a blind date arranged by Mycroft Holmes, when did MI5 and MI6 turn out to be so idle, otherwise why would the two direct chiefs still have the time to screen out any blind dates.

"Are you sure you're Mycroft Holmes? You prove it to me. ”

This time, it was Mycroft who looked at Lestrade helplessly, how to prove himself? Can he still be an alien?!

"Okay, Greg, you keep looking at the watch in your hand, from the time I entered the door until now, you have unconsciously knocked on the surface, indicating that you should have something to do next, it will not be work, then it must be that you are ordered to go home, I think Harry did it." Mycroft shrugged and said, "Do you need me to prove it?" ”

“No！”

There is no one else but the Sherlock Holmes brothers who can play someone else in such a disgusting way, and what is the damn smile on McCroft's face, mocking him for being asked by Harry to come home on time? God, this is just a small special case, usually for the free Lestrade.

"But dear Greg, given your current state of mind, our blind date arrangement is still very reasonable in three days' time."

What Lestrade didn't expect was that Mycroft moved so quickly, and without asking his opinion, he screened out what women were suitable to become his wife, and even arranged a series of blind date plans on his own. Lestrade looked at Mycroft with a fierce gaze, as if he wanted to see a hole in him.

"Oh, Greg was just a blind date, and honestly that woman you'd like it."

Just a blind date?!

Forget it! Lestrade said this before every blind date, and in the end he was not alone, every blind date was a very lethal □□ for Lestrade, pushing his emotional intelligence back again and again in the bombing.

"No, I have no plans to find another half for the time being, I appreciate your kindness."

Lestrade thought of his previous extremely miserable blind date, he shook his head, the blind date or something is still forgotten, the dream of that happy family is also very good now, he has food and clothing, a house and a car and a group of the world's loveliest children, this kind of life is no worse than the dream in his heart, at most, sometimes he is a Dad and a Mum.

"What are you afraid of? Failed? ”

McCroft could see that Lestrade didn't have no plans to find it, but he seemed to be afraid of a blind date, so he refused.

"I'm scared somewhere."

Lestrade muttered, he wasn't afraid, he just thought that the blind date wasn't for him.

Mycroft sat up straight at this time, and he stretched out his hand to attach it to Lestrade's hand and said, "Dear Greg, I'm right next to you, it's just a little blind date, it's nothing. ”

Lestrade looked at the extremely serious Mycroft and nodded helplessly, not because of what Mycroft said I was by your side and agreed, but because he didn't want to waste Mycroft's hard work in vain, it can be seen that the man has indeed wasted a lot of effort for this matter, and if he really spoils Lestrade, he will be upset.

Thereupon......

"Well, I just don't want your hard work to go to waste, so I'm not afraid."

Mycroft nodded, indicating that he understood that Lestrade would not be afraid of any blind date!

When Donovan knocked on the office door, the two of them were electrocuted and parted their hands, Donovan came in and looked at the two of them carefully, the atmosphere between Lestrade and McCroft was so strange, it always felt like she had just missed something.

"Then we're in touch, dear Greg."

"Okay, okay, worried Mr. Mycrof."

Lestrade covered his eyes as he watched Mycroft turn away, "Whatthe**! What the hell is the blind date arranged by Mycrof Holmes! ”
