37. Brother McT goes on a mission
On Christmas morning, Lestrade woke up every bear child, and Mycroft, who was sleeping on the sofa, got up early to tidy himself up, and only last night he had contacted his driver to bring him a new suit, knowing that a gentleman would not wear a crumpled dress. But after all, at home, Mycroft can't always wear a suit, so a white shirt over a vest looks very neat.
The Christmas gift that Lestrade sent out in advance yesterday has been buttoned up on the cuffs, and I have to say that Lestrade's aesthetic light is still quite good.
The bears and children are all dressed in Christmas sweaters, and they are all red and look very cute.
The most important thing before breakfast is to open the presents, and now all the Christmas presents are under the tree, and Merlin and Tony are rushing over. No matter how gifted the children were, they had no resistance to their gifts, Merlin and Tony circled around the Christmas tree twice, and then ran to Lestrade hand in hand, raised their heads and said excitedly, "Open the gifts!" Open the gift! Dad๏ฝโ
The last thing Lestrade could resist was the coquettishness of the bear children, and he patted the heads of the two imps and said, "OkayOkay! We're going to open the gifts, and I'm really worried about whether you'll be able to eat today's breakfast if you don't let you open the gifts now. โ
Mycroft looked at Reestrade with smiling eyes narrowed, and to be honest, why would Mrs. Reestrade choose to give up such a = near-perfect man? Even in terms of men's aesthetics, he is a rare lover.
"If you're thinking about the lady before you, suffice it to say that many people are easily fascinated by what is in front of them and cannot see the beauty of the future. Thankfully, though, Greg chose a short pain over a long one. โ
Mycroft looked at Hannibal beside him and smiled and said, "Really? Do you think a divorced detective would be happy? โ
Mycroft wasn't surprised why Hannibal was able to see through himself, he wasn't Sherlock's stupid, Hannibal was clearly just like them, a rare intelligent human and not a goldfish.
"Of course, because love is not as important to Greg as family, he chose us. Don't you think so, Mr. Mycroft Holmes? โ
Mycroft smiled and nodded in agreement, but why ask him, does his love affair with Lestrade have anything to do with it?
"Of course, Greg is talking to me the most about you, and no one can take your place in his heart."
Hannibal glanced at Mycroft with a smirk, was this man affirming their place in Lestrade's heart? It was like a comfort to them, like saying that he wouldn't compete with them for that position.
"Mr. Holmes really ...... Wise man. โ
He glanced at Mycroft again and walked away, and Mycroft looked at Hannibal's back and thought to himself, smart man? There was a pause in the remark, and it sounded like ...... Taunt.
Hannibal Lecter, Mycroft said the name in his mind, the little genius of the Lestrade family.
Open gifts, and to be honest, there is nothing happier than this.
First of all, the little angels gave their gifts to Lestrade in turn, and Lestrade smiled with eight large and small boxes, and he expressed his surprise and happiness that he should have, "Can I open it?" โ
"Of course!" The little angels said in unison, eager to see the surprised look on Lestrade's face when he saw their gifts.
The first was Harry's, whose eldest son gave him a coffee mug, and they both knew how much Lestrade loved coffee. Next came Thor, Thor was a little shy and he scratched his head and pretended not to care, but his eyes were aimed at Lestrade, he gave him boxing gloves, and Lestrade laughed, "Dear Sol, great gift, maybe we can practice boxing together." โ
Loki sent a small crystal ball with his little magic in it, a small magic that could make the contents of the crystal ball move.
Lestrade let out a surprised sound, and then dropped a kiss on Loki's cheek.
Sherlock narrowed his eyes as he looked at the crystal ball in Lestrade's hand, he knew that Loki's ability was not so simple, and he could even make small objects move, this magic was worth studying.
Harold gave Lestrade a wallet, and he noticed that the grinning man had no idea that his wallet was worn.
Hannibal gave him a dark red tie, and if he had preferred to give Lestrade a suit, God knows how much Hannibal likes to fill his wardrobe with new suits.
A modified model of the car, which Tony took a long time to complete, this model has all the qiฤ functions that a car has, and even has nine family members in the car, one big and eight small just happens to be the epitome of their family.
Merlin gave Lestrade a baby rabbit, and in his words he hoped that Lestrade would think of him when he saw the baby, and the evil Restrider twisted Merlin's nose and quipped, "Then I will love the baby rabbit from now on." This sentence made Merlin almost cry, and Lestrade coaxed him for a long time to get better.
It's the first time I've seen a man say something so cute, Bunny? And to be able to say it so cutely.
Well, there is a pink doll behind the bunny, Lestrade looked at their two cuties and laughed helplessly, sure enough, their Merlin and Raven are more like ordinary children, and the gifts full of childlike innocence are very cute.
The bears also received their favorite gifts from the two and a half adults, from psychology books to Harold's new computer, in short, Reistrade's gifts were sweet, McCroft's were expensive and needed, and Sherlock's was ...... It's a little weird, but the bears love the gifts they receive.
Mycroft also prepared gifts for Sherlock, and since he didn't know how long his dear little brother would have to live here, he hoped that Sherlock would still receive his favorite gifts at Christmas, such as a set of practical utensils.
Sherlock looked awkward as he held his present, and Mycroft smiled at him and said, "Merry Christmas, Sherlock." โ
Mycroft's gift was gone, and now everyone's eyes were on the awkward little Sherlock Holmes, and he was left with his own gift for Mycroft Holmes.
Sherlock pretended not to know anything, until Lestrade said to him, "Oh, Sherlock, where's your gift?" I remember you prepared a gift for Mycroft. โ
"......" Sherlock was silent for a moment before stomping his foot and returning to his bedroom, he had indeed prepared something that Mycroft would like, not dessert or any little black umbrella, but ......
"The inspector forced me to buy it, it's not that I want to spend Christmas with you, you know that brother and brother are not suitable for us."
Mycroft looked at the box in his hand and smiled, this was the first time he had received a gift from Sherlock since he had grown up, and he really missed it.
"Of course, of course."
Whatever was inside, Mycroft would have liked it, after all, it was given to him by his awkward little brother, didn't he?
The only regret about this Christmas is that after breakfast, McCroft receives a phone call that he seems to have to do official business and may not be able to return to London for some time. Sherlock jumped up when he heard the news, and Lestrade glanced at the bear kid who ran into the room and didn't know what to do, and said to McCroft regretfully, "It looks like you can't share the turkey of Christmas." โ
"I'm sorry, but I have to be here this time, or I'd rather sit with you and celebrate this Christmas.
Going out to the field, this is McCroft's least favorite thing, the Sherlock Holmes brothers are not hard-working people, especially McCroft prefers to sit in the office and use his brain, rather than running out to the field by himself, otherwise he would not sit in his current position after picking and choosing, this position only needs to use his brain, but he rarely has to go out to work hard.
But now that the idiots have lost their important witnesses, I really don't know why he bothered to spend money to raise this group of goldfish whose IQ is never online. He had to make up for the mistakes they had made, the mistakes of the very heavy dร , and even the exact amount of time it would take to go quietly, and it was unknown that McCroft hated the unknown.
"Haha, I'm finally able to play a tune!"
Sherlock ran out with his violin in his arms, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for this second for a long time, and the corners of his mouth almost reached under his ears.
"Sherlock."
This Sherlock is all helpless, helpless for the bear child.
Not a beautiful violin sound, Hannibal perfectly answers the meaning of the Sherlock, "Now enjoy the famous song: farewell." โ
Of course, according to Hannibal's tone at the time, this farewell was obviously happy, and Mycroft was also full of helplessness when he looked at his bear child, his mobile phone rang again, the car had come, and he didn't have time to delay.
"Sherlock will leave it to you, Greg."
"Dear little officer, do what you should do."
Mycroft tilted his head to look at Lestrade and pursed his lips, and he stepped forward and hugged Lestrade, politely.
It was this hug that made Sherlock's violin turn a corner, perfectly out of tune.
"Goodbye, Greg."
"Good luck, Mycroft."
The two men said goodbye, and Mycroft bowed slightly to the crowd apologetically, and he turned to walk away quickly, and when Lestrade closed the door, he saw that their bears, children, including Sherlock, were all looking at him with strange eyes, and he did not understand the meaning of this look for a moment, and said, "What are you doing, but the guests are gone, and our Christmas is as usual." โ
Yes, of course it should be as usual, Hannibal thought that the big Mr. Holmes was really cheap, but Harry told him that it seemed that little Mr. Holmes also knew that his brother was after Lestrade, so it would be okay for them to even sit down for Sherlock when they couldn't catch McCroft.
Just as Christmasday began again at the Reistrade family, Mycroft also got into his own little black car, and Ancia stood in front of the car and put a book of materials in Mycroft's arms, she was also called back to work temporarily for Christmas, but unlike Mycroft, she couldn't go abroad with her this time.
"I've already notified the first boss unit, so I'm waiting for you to pass for the time being, it's just ...... Latest newsOur witnesses seem to have been accused by the other party, and the situation is very dangerous. โ
Mycroft had a gloomy face, completely devoid of the relaxed look he had just faced Lestrade, Ancia knew that this was the prelude to Mycroft's anger, this time the matter had been arranged early, and there was a ninety percent chance that they would bring back the witnesses, who knew that there was such a mistake in the middle, how could it not make the commander-in-chief Mycroft angry.
"The 90 percent chance of success can also be smashed on top of 10 percent, there is no such coincidence, and now I will immediately ask for the relevant information of everyone in the first unit, including their family's information."
Ancia replied yes and immediately began to work, and it only took a few small formalities to bring up the information that Mycroft wanted.
As she approached the airport, Ancia handed over the black suitcase she had prepared earlier to Mycroft, who opened it with a calm face and took out a handful of โกโก from it, and quickly checked his equipment that he hadn't used for a long time.
โกโก, produced by Israel Military Industries (IMI), the steel body, 357Magnum caliber, the gun weighs 1.715 kg, the range is 200 meters, nine bullets, and the ejection speed is 378 m / s, which is new to Mycroft in the first half of this year, and the new product is also a new technology.
The rest of the equipment McCroft didn't think he needed it, but he was prepared, after all, the place he was going to was not so safe, and there would always be people who knew about the arrival of him, the "last petty official of the government".
"Keep an eye on the relatives of the members of the first unit, maybe someone will die unexpectedly in this mission."
Anthea lowered her head, from the very beginning Mycroft had already hinted that there were betrayers among their agents, and it was rare for Mycroft to make mistakes in person, even if there were accidental casualties, and if someone died accidentally, it could only be carried out by Mycroft himself.
This man has a side that no one knows about, it's not for nothing that he's called an Iceman, not all agents can complete fifty difficult missions alone, and not long after they graduated, her boss was a legend of the year, cold and powerful.
"Do you have any suspicions?"
Although the information of the First Force has not yet been transferred, Ancia believes that McCroft should have a certain number in mind.
McCroft laughed and said nothing, he wasn't really sure yet, was he, even if there was a 95 percent chance that he would be the man.
"You should know that there is always someone to pay for what they have done, Anthea."
Mycroft put the โกโก behind his waist, he was teaching his little secretary that the world does not need pity, love is a burden, they just need to do their own thing.
Ancia looked at the cold Mycroft and had to admit that she had made a mistake in judgment before, she thought that Mycroft would change in handling affairs, because he was unexpectedly gentle in the face of Lestrade, but she was wrong Her boss was still the iceman, who could determine the life and death of a person from a million miles away, without any hesitation, even if that person was an agent under him.
Seeing Mycroft, who boarded the plane with a small black umbrella, Anthea smiled and said respectfully, "I wish you a smooth journey, Sir."
