74. Mai Ge is injured
After weeks of hard work, the curtain finally came down on Jack the Ripper's parody crime, ending with the suicide of the murderer Tommy Andrew, and no matter how it ended, the prostitutes in London don't have to worry about their personal safety, maybe their careers are not glamorous, but in Lestrade's eyes they are all equal.
In Tommy Andrew's home, they found clothes that had not been destroyed, although the evidence of his murder was no longer found, but fortunately, the restored surveillance video sent by the unknown person told them a qiΔ, and the video can confirm that Tommy Andrew's crime was committed. The case was finally closed, and both the media and the top management sent congratulations, in their eyes it didn't matter whether the murderer was dead or alive, and they saw this victory as a victory after a hundred years of fighting against Jack the Ripper.
However, Lestrade was a little sorry that he didn't catch the man who helped Tommy Andrew behind him, the man who destroyed all the surveillance camera evidence before they did. This man's existence made Lestrade feel that it was not so simple, but the only clue had been broken, and he could only think about the upward side of things, and maybe it would be his friends who might help Tommy Andrew.
I just hope this person doesn't commit any crimes.
The case is always closed, and Lestrade finally has time to do some of his own things, such as going home to spend time with their bear children and dating his girlfriend Angelia, who is almost forgotten by him. For this relationship with Angelia, Reestrade is still very serious about managing it, after all, Reestrade wants to go further with this girl, there is a lot of selfishness in this, but Reestrade guarantees that he really likes this girl.
As soon as the case at hand was over, Lestrade took the initiative to call Angelia, who had been awkward before.
Angelia was also discouraged, hearing that Lestrade's case was over, her tone was full of joy, they agreed on lunch the next day, and even Lestrade prepared a small gift for her to make up for her previous dereliction of duty, as a boyfriend. Now Lestrade doesn't know what the little angels in the family say about Angelia, according to the two parties at the time, they got along quite happily, because the confession was the same, and Lestrade didn't think much about it.
When Lestrade came home and said that he was going to date Angelia tomorrow, the bear children secretly glanced at Harry, as the eldest son of the family, Harry was the main figure in the Angelia incident at that time, and the judgment of Angelia was also from his mouth, although Harry said that he would give the girl another chance, but the bear children generally thought that Harry did not like her, so he might not give any more chance.
"Dating? Then Dad, you need to dress up. β
Harry's reaction was unexpected, they thought Harry would stop it, but who knew he would even ask Lestrade to dress up.
"Harry, I have to go to work tomorrow, how can I dress up or anything, but I have a small gift for her, and I don't know if she will like it."
Lestrade scratched his head when he said this, smiled a little shyly, and when he heard the gift, Loki put down the toy in his hand and ran over to raise his head and said innocently: "Gift? Can I take a look? Can I? β
You know, Loki rarely shows such a cute expression, unless he wants to play a prank.
Harry sat on the sidelines, and it seemed that the little test that was most unsatisfactory to Miss Angelia was probably Loki, the little guy who liked to play pranks, and he must not have thought of anything good. The main thing is that Loki obviously wants to play a prank, but their stupid dad Lestrade hasn't seen it yet, and there is no way that every dad sees his children as little angels, and even if he knows that they are bear children, he won't think things like that.
Lestrade pulled out a small and beautiful box from his pocket, and when he saw it, Harry's heart tightened, and he wondered if it could be a ring.
Loki jumped to touch the box in Lestrade's hand, but it was a little small. Lestrade squatted down with a smile and put the box in Loki's hand, Loki opened it immediately at Harry's signal, and when he saw the contents Harry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that it was not a ring!
They really know the meaning of the ring, if Lestrade sends the ring, it means a marriage proposal, and then the big coffee thing is a certainty, and it is difficult to change.
"Issuing cards? Detective, your gift can be said to be nothing new. β
"People with low emotional intelligence don't talk, do you want me to send something? Rings? β
The only person in the family who can be called low emotional intelligence is Sherlock Holmes, who sat on the sofa with Raven in his arms and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe Miss Angelia is waiting for you to give you a ring." β
"Shut up, Sherlock."
Harry stomped on Sherlock's foot, then squeezed out the phrase with a smile, soft enough for Sherlock to hear.
"It's beautiful!" Loki touched the shiny hairpin with his hand, and when he heard the word "beautiful", Tony and Merlin also ran over, and they looked around Loki at the beautiful hairpin, and his eyes were shining, and Lestrade didn't know that his bear child had this little problem, so he said: "Okay, then I'll pick you up for a while, but remember not to lose or break Dad, or Dad will skip work tomorrow to buy a new one." β
Lestrade didn't say anything about how I'd punish you if you lost something, or how much it was worth, he just joked that if it broke he'd skip work.
In fact, discerning people such as Hannibal and Sherlock can see that this hairpin should be a very valuable thing, although it is not a diamond but it is also a crystal, and there is a brand on the box that is a light luxury type brand, this gift Lestrade chose to satisfy a girl's vanity. Hannibal gestured to Harry where he couldn't see him, and he told Harry how much thought he had put into the gift.
Harry was also very helpless, and now he couldn't go and say to Reistride, Dad, we don't like that Miss Angelia, you break up, he can only hope that Angelia or Reestrade will give up the relationship first before the two of them talk about marriage.
Harry Potter said that Dad's relationship problems really tired me, and that I was still a child.
Loki pinned the shiny hairpin to Raven's head, and little Raven laughed silly, completely touching Reynder's heart, and he thought of Raven from Sherlock's arms and held it high, and Raven giggled. It was at this time that Loki came to the place where the gift box was placed under the cover of Thor's big man, and he put his hand on the box and secretly cast a small spell on the box.
Harry and Sherlock looked at them all, but they didn't alert Reislet, and they chose to pretend they didn't see anything.
"Oh, Raven, you've lost a little weight lately."
Not only did the stupid dad not remember things, but his eyes seemed to be blinded, Sherlock muttered on the side that Raven's weight was one pound heavier than last week, and four pounds heavier than when Lestrade started working on the case, and now the little sapphire princess Raven is already a cute fat doll, but her father has selective amnesia and myopia, and is still praising Raven for losing weight.
"Maybe we can make you a little fatter."
"Poor Raven, I have a stupid dad who hopes that he won't pump/out fat when he does it in the future."
Sherlock is definitely laughing at Raven for being fat, to be honest, according to Lestrade and Hannibal, Raven can really grow up to be a fat person, of course, this premise is that Raven's small ability can't cover her weight.
Loki covered his mouth and laughed secretly after finishing the little prank, he looked forward to Miss Angelia's reaction later, in order to prevent it from affecting Lestrade, Loki used timed magic, the magic will take effect tomorrow night, and Angelia will have no position to find trouble.
The most annoying thing for girls is bugs, isn't itXD?
Unaware of Loki's little pranks, Lestrade tidied up and got ready for bed after a while of going crazy with the bears, and tomorrow was finally a relaxing day, his afternoon tea and his family dinner were finally back.
Even if Lestrade said that he still had to go to work, he made a little preparation, after all, he was going to see his girlfriend and was really disgraced, so how could it be.
Angelia Gilson waited at the gate of Scotland Yard early, and when Lestrade came out of it, he saw his girlfriend standing there waving at him, Lestrade said hello to his colleague and immediately ran to Angelia, he also had a bright smile on his face, looked at the girl in front of him, unconsciously stretched out his hand and touched her head, and asked, "Have you waited for me for a long time?" β
"No, it's just just arrived."
She grabbed Reistride's arm, and the two of them walked towards the reserved restaurant with a smile, since it was a date, Reestrade would not take Angelia to eat fast food, Reestrade chose a more atmospheric restaurant recommended by a female colleague, and the most important thing is that the food in it is said to be more liked by girls, so he settled there.
"You really haven't had anything else going on lately?"
Angelia confirmed to Lestrade again, and Lestrade blinked and thought that she was still angry before, so she immediately said: "Yes, as long as there are no big cases happening, I will be very leisurely lately." β
Just cracked a big case that shocked London, and the above is also very considerate to give the murder team a small break, as long as there is no shocking case like a parody case, they will not send large-scale police and overtime for the time being.
"That's good, I know you're busy, but I really want to see you."
Lestrade shook her hand and said, "I apologize again, I'm really sorry, please forgive me this time for the sake of the gift." β
"Gifts?!"
Angelia didn't think she had a gift, she was surprised to see Lestrade take out a jewelry box from her pocket, and her heart began to blush like a deer.
"This ...... I haven't ...... yet."
"Maybe it's not too late to open it up and talk about anything else."
Lestrade encouraged her to open the box, Angelia was even more shy, she carefully opened it only to find that it was not what she was expecting, her smile was slightly stiff when she took out the hairpin, "Hair, hairpin?" β
"Actually, I'm not very good at buying things for girls, so I asked my friend, and he said maybe a card would be more suitable for you."
Angelia looked at Lestrade and tilted her head and said, "Friend? β
Lestrade hadn't been in love for a long time, and he had been thinking about what kind of apology gift he wanted to give Angelia, and she asked her colleagues at Scotland Yard but didn't get a conforming answer, there was no way that there were more men and fewer women in Scotland Yard, and most of the girls were like Donovan's kind of stronger, and they were really not on the same level as the things that ordinary girls liked.
So, after asking to no avail, Lestrade set his sights on one man, the almighty Mr. McCroft Holmes.
He quickly got the answer he wanted, and Mycroft carefully listed a series of gifts that London girls of this age liked, among which the accessories Lestrade held in his hand were the gifts of the light luxury type that were admired by girls.
When Lestrade was off work, he found the store at the address sent to him by GuΓ² McCroft and bought the card.
"Yes, friend, it's the Mycroft I said earlier, the Mycroft Holmes."
It was not unusual for Lestrade to mention Mycroft's name, but Angelia's expression over there was obviously not as happy as just now, she still remembered this name, many dates were because this person was lost, and judging from the number of times Lestrade mentioned this person's name, she didn't know a simple kind of friend.
"Looks like you're on really good terms."
She is tempting, girls like to think too much, especially Angelia thinks that she does not have any sense of security, Lestrade likes her very much, and also wants to develop further with her, but he is really different from those men, in this era of freedom, Lestrade and her not only kiss the number of times can be counted on one hand, if it is said that this kind of thing has not happened overnight, even Lestrade has never mentioned it.
This kind of pure love can no longer be pure makes Angelia's sense of security plummet, a good man is indeed a good man, because it is too good, so I am worried that I will lose it.
"I didn't think you knew how condescending that bastard McCroft seemed at first, even if it was a condescending request for you."
It seems that when talking about Mycroft and little Lestrade, her boyfriend will become more talkative, Angelia has not had any contact with Mycroft Holmes in Lestrade's mouth, even the contact is only a one-sided relationship, she vaguely remembers that there is a person in the Lestrade family who seems to be also called Sherlock Holmes. She could only laugh along with Lestrade, and finally after Lestrade finished talking about their first encounter, Angelia interjected, "Honey, can you bring it for me?" β
She stretched out her hand, the hairpin was in her hand, Angelia looked at Reistride with big eyes with a pleading look, Reestrade nodded with a smile and pushed away the chair behind him and came to Angelia's side and said, "It's my honor." β
Lestrade gave the hairpin to Angelia, and Angelia took the opportunity to give her lips at this time......
If time freezes at this moment, it can only be said that Angelia and Lestrade look like a match made in heaven, the tall and handsome man stands beside the petite girl and gently puts on the hair ornament for the girl, at this time the girl tilts her head and gently closes her eyes and waits for a kiss.
It's a pity that Lestrade doesn't know if it's because he hasn't been favored by God lately, and his phone rings, so inopportunely.
Lestrade wanted to hang up, but who knew that when he saw the number on it, he could only kiss/kiss Angelia's forehead and say, "Sorry, I'll go out and answer a call." β
Angelia smiled and nodded, but clenched her fists, and the phone was ......
Whose call did Lestrade answer?
Actually, it's not from someone else.,Officially bear child Sherlock.,Generally speaking, the Sherlock Holmes brothers belong to the type of the Three Treasures who don't have anything to do.,As long as there's nothing big about it, they rarely call in person.,Because they prefer to use text messages to find you than call.γ
"Sherlock? I'm dating. β
Lestrade believed that Sherlock's brain would not forget that he was dating, and that the call was either really something, or that Sherlock was bothering him out of boredom.
"Inspector, put down your date, I need your help."
Sherlock on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a hurry, which was rare.
βWhatοΌ What's going on?! β
Sherlock looking for his help? Something must have happened to make this arrogant bear kid say I need your help, so Lestrade immediately asked why.
"McCroft...... The dead fat man was shot and is being rescued. β
Maybe Sherlock didn't like his brother very much, because there were so many inexplicable conflicts between them that he always hated Mycroft's discipline, but Sherlock didn't want to see his brother hurt or die, even if he kept saying that he wanted Mycroft to greet God sooner.
Lestrade didn't know how he felt when he heard about Mycroft's injury, he just asked Sherlock where he was and the hospital where Mycroft was, and he said he would rush there as quickly as he could.
"Okay, Inspector, I'll wait for you."
The first thing that came to Sherlock's mind when he knew that Mycroft was injured was Lestrade, considering who was Mycroft, now was his dangerous time, and he needed someone who could be trusted 100% to protect him, and this person was none other than Greg Lestrade.
Lestrade turned back into the dining room, another date was reimbursed, and he stood there looking at Angelia not knowing what he should say, or Angelia spoke first, "Again...... Case? β
"Oh no, it's something else."
"Do you have to go? Don't have time to finish this lunch with me? β
Angelia is very aggrieved, other people's boyfriends are almost 24 hours by the girl's side, but her boyfriend has to be divided into several halves, and what she gets is the least part, and now she finally has a chance to date, and she has to have something.
"I ...... I'm sorry, it's just that Mycroft is in a bit of trouble and I need to check it out. β
Angelia bit her lower lip, Mycroft is Mycroft again, why is this name so ghostly and causing a little trouble?! Didn't you say that he was very powerful, why did he have to find Lestrade to solve it.
"But I want you to at least finish this meal with me."
"I'm sorry, dear, but things are urgent, and I have to leave now."
The identity of Mycroft cannot be said, his work is relatively secret, and his identity is relatively special, if he leaked something in the accident because of his slip of the tongue, Lestrade will probably blame himself for the rest of his life. He stepped forward and kissed Angelia's forehead, and said softly, "There's only one Mycrof, but we still have a lot of dates, and I don't want to lose this friend." β
"But ......"
Lestrade rubbed her hair, so Angelia couldn't say anything, Lestrade was not wrong at all, they had a lot more dates, but this was the one she wanted now.
"I'm leaving, the money has been paid, call us."
Angelia watched as Lestrade's back clenched her fists and released them again.
Lestrade ran out almost to the back, he couldn't imagine that Mycroft would be injured and go into the emergency room, he wanted to say what the agents around Mycroft were doing, and let him be attacked.
Mycroft's encounter with a terrorist attack was also an accident, although the breath of the previous war had subsided this year, but there were still many instability in the Middle East affecting Britain and even the world, especially the influence of the United States in the middle, so McCroft had to pay attention to it, so at the beginning of 06, he sent agents to infiltrate the Middle East to ensure that the turmoil there would not affect the pattern of the world, nor would it have an impact on the UK.
But a month ago, the agents he put there disappeared for no reason, and it was inferred that they had been poisoned, and then Mycroft began to investigate with more agents over there, and even went there on a business trip, although there were some small attacks at that time, but they were all saved from danger, who knew that something happened after returning to England.
The area where Mycroft was attacked was relatively remote, and in order to prevent ordinary people from being harmed, Mycroft specially asked a driver to lure the people who were following them to a suburban location.
There was a fierce battle, and the agents protecting Mycroft were killed and wounded, and although Mycroft killed all the terrorists, he was also wounded due to the disparity in numbers......
Lestrade rushed into the hospital where Mycroft was, because Mycroft was seriously injured at the time, so the nearest hospital was not a special hospital under the government, which is one of the reasons why Sherlock needed Lestrade.
"How's Mycroftβ"
