Chapter 16 McCroft Holmes, who has joined the FFF Regiment
Before going to see the 'famous' Professor Snape, Daniel decided that he would find a way to get in touch with Mycroft, preferably face-to-face to discuss the progress of his current assignment.
So, that night, he openly asked to go to the Muggle world in England on the pretext of 'dealing with some business matters'.
Thanks to Slytherin's good habit of 'respecting each other', and 'pure-blood nobles' contempt for Muggles'.
The Malfoys lost all interest at the word 'Muggle' and simply admonished him to 'deal less with stupid Muggles'.
Except, of course, making money.
Lucius, who is money-oriented, was a little interested in Daniel's 'Muggle industry that expanded from the United States', but he had always been proud that Daniel's industry was probably a little bit of a fuss, so although he was interested, he didn't take the initiative to ask.
Ignore these.
As a result, Daniel left Malfoy Manor and went to the office of a 'British government clerk'.
After discovering that McCroft was not in the office, he made a phone call to the unknown assistant lady and learned that he happened to be out of town.
After obtaining the location, he passed directly through a phantom migration.
When he arrived at his destination, he was surprised to find that he had appeared in a box in a movie theater.
Mycroft was not surprised to face the American wizard who appeared out of thin air, apparently Miss Assistant had already greeted him.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand, signaled the bodyguards around him to put down his gun, and then, still mockingly, said: "Sure enough, it's 'easy to learn bad, but hard to learn well'." I remember that you have only been in the British wizarding world for less than a week, and you have learned to play this reckless trick too? β
"I can't help it, I've had a strict psychological shadow about taxi drivers in the UK, and I'm always worried that they will pull me somewhere I don't know and make me choose what medicine to take...... In comparison, the wizards' modes of transportation are much safer. β
Daniel replied with palpitations, "And, sir, I don't think you should be as scared as the former prime minister with your super psychological element." β
"Of course my psychogenic element is fine." McCroft shook the wine from his glass, "But I don't guarantee that anyone else ......"
He pointed to the bodyguards around him, "Safe? Then, with a soft sneer, "What is it that gives you the illusion?" Safe? You'd be glad you said hello before you came, so they weren't going to shoot them directly. Otherwise, either your little tricks have helped you escape, or you have become a sieve and are lying on the floor. β
Daniel smiled awkwardly, "I'll remember later, I gave you a notice before I came." β
He scratched his head and said, "But, at this time of day, shouldn't you have fun watching those complicated texts in the office?" How can I have time to watch movies and watch this bloody ......"
He looked at the big screen not far away, where a very famous romance film "Titanic" was playing, and he always felt that this kind of film looked a little weird with Mycroft.
"It's just that there are some things that need to be dealt with." Mycroft replied solemnly, he looked Daniel up and down, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "You came at the right time, I have something to ask you for a favor." β
"Uh...... What's up? For the record, I've been busy dealing with the Wizengamot trial, the court of wizarding circles, lately, and I don't have time for long-term tasks, and you have so many ...... under your command."
"It's not a big deal, it's just that so as not to be seen through, it's inconvenient for me to send people from my side......"
McCroft smiled calmly, "Look at the man and woman in the front left, in the seventh row, and the men and women in seats 15 and 16 who seem to be interested in each other. β
"What's wrong? Terrorists? How can you ask me to help? Help with surveillance or capture? However, I'm not a professional agent, so you can help, don't come to me if you have a problem. β
Daniel looked at it, but it was dark in the movie theater, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he simply asked McCroft directly, "Do you have any information?" I'll take a look at it first, and try to solve it as quickly as possible. β
"Don't be that troublesome." Mycroft said calmly: "There is no need to monitor and arrest, you can figure out a way later, whether it is your little tricks or your own charm, in short, don't let them become a couple even if the task is completed." β
"Huh?" Daniel stared at Mycroft blankly, and couldn't help but blurt out, "When did you join the FFF group, sir?" He resisted the desire to complain frantically in his heart, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, McCrof, don't be kidding, I came here on business." β
"What's the matter?" The man, nicknamed 'The British Government,' asked with little interest.
He completely ignored the other party's speechless expression, and continued to sweep the pair of men and women with sharp eyes. If his gaze could turn into a dead light, he would probably launch it immediately, cutting off all ties between the couple.
This strange situation made Daniel speechless.
But he only thinks it's McCroft having intermittent convulsions, anyway, a certain curly-haired detective will shoot a gun at the ceiling when he's bored, and it's not unusual for the curly-haired detective's brother to run to the movie theater to break up the couple when he's bored, right? (weird......
Daniel didn't see the scene in front of him.
He seized the time to quickly recount his progress in the British wizarding world, and calmly asked Mycroft to give him some money and connections.
ββ¦β¦ You have to allocate some of the funds at my disposal, you can't let me do the work for you, and spend my own money, and besides, you definitely have someone in your hands who can be sent into the wizarding world, don't lie to me that I don't...... You would never have imagined that the Black family's greatest possession was land, yes, the land you were most concerned about, the vast pastures and grasslands, the staggering size...... It's just that after the death and imprisonment of the direct heirs, the ranch is currently in a state of abandonment...... So, in the future, you'll have to lend me a little bit of manpower to manage it. Of course, you can do anything and bury nails in these people who are sent, I don't care...... Anyway, I'm only responsible for bringing these people into the wizarding world...... By the way, your brother will take it slow first, and then I'll talk about it when I'm on my feet. β
"You seem to have a misunderstanding about Sherlock." It was only at the moment when his brother was brought up again that McCroft turned his attention again.
He looked at Daniel disapprovingly, "Although Sherlock is occasionally a little mischievous and a little more curious, he's always been a good boy. β
"Uh...... Anyway, that's it for now! β
Daniel waved his hand perfunctorily, not going to discuss what his brother was like with a 'brother'.
Because of the 'brother control', when he meets his younger brother, most of his eyes are blind.
"Wait."
Mycroft called out to him, he tapped the ground with his cane, and said seriously, "I can agree to these conditions you said, which can be regarded as the logistics supply part." But ......"
He said word for word, "Just now, I wasn't kidding. β
"What? What the? β
"Tonight, before you return to the wizarding world, find a way to get that pair ......," McCroft pointed to a young couple in front of him on the left again with his cane, and said righteously, "Break up!" Go! Go and break them up! β
"Huh?"
"It's a mission."
"This is an even more inexplicable task after the task of 'finding a way to integrate the wizarding world into Muggle society and follow the leadership of the government'."
Daniel twitched uncontrollably.
He sighed silently in his heart: "What kind of boss did I find for myself, I knew that it was better to join S.H.I.E.......L.D."
At this time, the famous classic "My Heart is Eternal" of "Titanic" has echoed in the theater, and the movie has gradually come to an end.
If you don't go over, the little couple should go out with the flow.
Daniel then hurried and quietly approached the couple.
However, when he saw the man who 'put his arms around the girl and thoughtfully handed over the tissue', he finally knew why McCroft had given the order...... And why they didn't send someone from the British intelligence service, but instead asked themselves to help.
Dr.JohnHamishWatsonγ
Sherlock Holmes's lifelong friend (good friend), Dr. John Watson.
This short soldier has a commendable human virtue, warm, honest, down-to-earth, and generous.
On top of that, he can put up with Sherlock Holmes.
He may not be handsome in appearance that is in line with the public aesthetic, but his sincerity and affinity are more than enough to make up for it.
In contrast to Sherlock Holmes, who was handsome but had low emotional intelligence most of the time, the gentlemanly and considerate Dr. Watson was still very popular among women.
At the very least, when watching a romance movie, he will hand a tissue when the lady sheds tears of emotion and sadness, instead of analyzing the fallacies and absurdities of the film's plot in a hundred ways.
"That Dr. Watson may be my brother's savior......"
As Daniel ran off to 'go on a mission,' McCroft said this to his unknown assistant lady.
"Anyway, before my brother gets rid of that behavior pattern of constantly looking for death and excitement, this Dr. Watson still obediently stays by Sherlock's side and doesn't waste time by falling in love."
"But, sir, why don't you send our people and let that amateur ...... instead? Wizard shot? β
"I don't want Sherlock to go to war with me." "He's sharp-eyed, and he's familiar with the style of a British intelligence agent," McCroft replied, "and he'll be puffing up for days if he finds out I'm doing it." β
In a brotherly tone of doting, he said: "He has always been like this, a child's temper. β
