229. Unsatisfactory
The Lestrades did not stay at Malfoy's house for long, and before saying goodbye to the two Malfoys, McCroft and Lucius did not know what they were discussing, but they shook hands when they came out of the study, and their expressions were relaxed, and it seemed that they had reached an agreement.
This time Lestrade refused to let the house-elves give them a try, because Mycroft didn't like the magic of apparition, and both times he looked at Lestrade with a white face was really not a distressed person who could explain it, so Lestrade decided to let the elves send them to a place where they called Muggles, so that they could rent an RV for a family-style road trip.
It's March and the classes of the little Lestrade are not very nervous, the only one in the family who is going to graduate from elementary school this year is Harold, no one will worry about Harold's grades or anything, Lestrade just talked to him about the future, the smartest Harold and Hannibal in the family can actually skip a grade, just for the sake of the brothers, they obediently went to class, and now Loki and the three of them have also left home, Maybe Harold should also think about what his next step should be.
At this point, Mycroft also confided in him some of his own meaning, Harold Lestrade will sooner or later become a high-flying eagle, the most important thing is that he has his own opinions, he will not stick to the general position, and will definitely make great achievements in the future.
However, Mycroft did not tell Lestrade his intentions, and he wanted to train Harold to be his heir.
He thinks it's too early to tell, Lestrade will always treat his children as children, even if they have great abilities, and what Lestrade has always thought about is that if someone wants to hurt his little angels, even if he uses his last bit of strength, he will have to fight that person to the death.
If he sued his fiancé Harold now for what might have happened, he would probably be angry.
This was a secret in McCroft's mind for the time being, and he could remain in his current position for many years, at least until the day when Harold was able to stand on his feet.
Malfoy Manor is Wiltshire, not very far from London, if it is a road trip, it will probably take a few days to return to London, Mycroft left Malfoy Manor and Ancia on the phone, and Ancia has already helped him deal with it, and the above also said hello, as long as it is not an urgent matter, Mycroft can get this holiday.
Vacations, which had always been a luxury for Mycroft, only began to enjoy the so-called vacation life after spending time with the Lestrades.
There was one more thing they had to do before the road trip, that is, everyone needed to buy some more clothes, and they were in a bit of a hurry when they went to Hogwarts, plus they agreed to the invitation of the Malfoy family and did not change their clothes overnight, and a few people who love cleanliness have already endured to the limit.
Fortunately before going out again, he still brought a wallet and a silver/line/card, when Lestrade took his silver/line/card and rushed to swipe the card for Mycroft, McCroft, who ate soft rice for the first time, just smiled, and he also gave a chapter card to Lestrade before His own fiancé is also his beloved, and his meaning is obvious that this family also has his part, and he must spend some money for the family.
It's just that the card was not used to buy anything too valuable, which also let Mycroft know Reistrade's attitude, even he can support the family himself.
That includes feeding him.
When Sherlock's call came, it was the second day of their road trip, and when Lestrade received a call from Sherlock, he realized that there was a case, but before he could say a word, his phone was taken by Mycroft, who pursed his lips and laughed, because Mycroft said to Sherlock over there: "Little Baby Charlie, you can't always look for parents for everything." ”
The parent in this is Lestrade.
Sherlock gritted his teeth and finally hung up the phone on his own initiative, first going to a place like Hogwarts without bringing himself already made him very unhappy, and now Mycroft is still laughing at himself for being a baby?! It's just a different detective to accept this case, and he doesn't believe that this detective can be more difficult than those subordinates of Lestrade?
It's just that although Mycroft said that he would ignore Sherlock, he was still worried that the case about Sherlock would have something to do with the Moriati who had other thoughts about Sherlock, so Mycroft not only asked Ancia to protect his unconscious brother, but also let Lestrade use his own rights to get the relevant investigation of the case.
After reading the information, Mycroft probably knew that this should be a smuggling gang, probably because something was missing, so he started a murder operation, such an operation is too common, how many people in London have other identities hidden behind them, and how many suicides are actually disguised.
Sherlock knew everything that Mycroft could see, and Mycroft directly approached Harold and asked him to help find out why the so-called Black Lotus Society could enter London, and what kind of people and channels helped them.
Judging from the information of those people, some of them should be black, so if you want to enter London, someone must be secretly helping.
It took Harold an hour to get his way up from the beginning of the Black Lotus Order, and he really found someone who might help them in the end, Jim Moriarty.
This recent move is really not ordinary, and such frequent action can only indicate one thing, that is, Moriarty is likely to be preparing to make a move on Sherlock recently. This was said by Hannibal, because he was the one who knew Moriati best than them, after all, he had cultivated this person to turn into a butterfly.
Although the butterfly does not look good, Hannibal has to admit that Moriarty has always been a calm person, and if he shows frequent movements, it only means that he is ready to do it immediately, and his game has been set up and is waiting for the player to enter.
The previous players were Hannibal, but this time it's Sherlock.
Hannibal sat back in his chair, in fact, Moriarty was now testing how much Sherlock was capable and whether he was really qualified to play with him in this game.
Moriarty has always been arrogant, he thinks the world is too boring, and the only interesting person is the psychiatrist he meets, in other words, his guide, after repeated failures, he temporarily shifts his target, and Sherlock, whose name she wrote down before, once again attracts his attention.
So he failed in the capture of Hannibal and began to arrange his own game with Sherlock, to be honest, the Black Lotus Society is somewhat interesting, but in the end it will still fail in the hands of Sherlock, he now has a more interesting goal, it is said that the British government is secretly carrying out a plan recently, if he can get the plan......
Because Sherlock is once again involved with Moriati, the Lestrades' road trip has to come to an end, and they need to return to London immediately.
On March 25th, the Lestrade family arrived in London, and this time they left London for a total of five days, and Anthea came to block the people as soon as McCroft returned, and McCroft left with Ancia after only changing her clothes in a hurry.
At the same time, Lestrade also went to the apartment at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock lived, and he thought that it would be more complete to confirm Sherlock himself with his own eyes, and by the way, see if he could properly remind him of something.
Sherlock's room was very messy, and it was Mrs. Hudson who received Lestrade, and Mrs. Hudson said that the two young men of the family had gone out to do their own thing, leaving her alone at home.
Lestrade stood at the doorway on the second floor of Sherlock and shook his head, "To be honest, I thought Sherlock would be able to restrain a little after having a roommate, but it turned out to be even worse. ”
Mrs. Hudson said that she felt the same way, and she began to tell Lestrade about what Sherlock had done recently, such as the fact that he had put human hearts in the refrigerator and almost made Mrs. Hudson dispose of them, and she still had palpitations about this, and by the way, those fingers were also put on the bright side, and people who didn't know thought that her tenant was a pervert.
"You've got to help me talk about Sherlock."
Lestrade nodded, putting the head in the refrigerator? It was probably only after Sherlock moved out of his home that Sherlock would dare to do so, after all, they had all expressed rejection of Sherlock for bringing human organs home.
Since he had not seen either Sherlock or Watson, Lestrade had to ask Mrs. Hudson to help him tell Sherlock that he had been there.
By the way, he also heard the good news that Watson had found his job and finally "escaped" from Sherlock's clutches.
Sherlock's call came on March 27, and all the cases were closed, and it was determined that the original victim was the one who stole the contraband, because he fell in love with a woman and wanted to give that person the most special thing, but he didn't know that the little jade was also the most valuable.
Harold: After Moriarty was ready to start, he began to monitor everyone around Sherlock, they didn't know how Moriarty was playing, and he was now less interested in Hannibal, and began to concentrate on playing the upcoming game with Sherlock.
First of all, the game needs the player, and when Moriarty starts to talk to Jasmine with Jim's name, Harold they know that this is a sign of the beginning of the action, who is Jasmine? Probably a person who has been entangled with Sherlock for a long time, her love for Sherlock is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two, because Sherlock has become her own benchmark, she can muster up the courage to enter Butz Hospital by herself.
After that, she liked Sherlock, and she could do anything for Sherlock, but unfortunately that person's brain was not open, and the low emotional intelligence couldn't bear to ignore Jasmine's feelings all the time, so Jasmine also began to find the other half that really belonged to her.
Jasmine was surprised when she was accosted by Jim, because there were many nurses and doctors in Butz Hospital, and not many ordinary girls like her who had too much to deal with corpses didn't care.
Jim was an employee of the IT department upstairs, and they mentioned that they wanted to meet, and Jasmine was a little excited, she still liked that she could have a relationship, even if it wasn't Sherlock Holmes.
Harold received the news immediately after this happened, Jim, the name is too coincidental, but according to Moriarty's personality, it is normal for him to want to take the initiative to approach his goal.
The first date between the two was at a café, and because the little Lestrades desperately needed to know what Jim Moriarty was like, they asked Harold's machine to help monitor him, and the person who was suspected to be Jim Moriarty looked like a good man.
After seeing Moriarty's appearance, Hannibal smiled, "Such people can have the last laugh." ”
Will nodded, Jim in such an IT industry is actually very imaginary with Hannibal back then, they all look like a pure and good person, but no one knows that it is such a good person who looks like a good person hides a heart that scares everyone.
In this case, the matter of Jim Moriarty is probably about the same as that of a mobile phone, and the relationship with Jasmine seems to Hannibal to be a bit risky, unless he can have extraordinary acting skills.
At the same time, Moriarty finally began to contact Hannibal, saying that he had found a toy in London, but unfortunately he was going to destroy it.
Toys, that should refer to Sherlock, it turns out that Sherlock is just a toy in Moriarty's eyes, but it is precisely because he has relaxed his vigilance that little Lestrade can unite those who need to join in this game.
The game officially begins on the morning of March 29, 2010, when the sun is just coming up, and McCroft is woken up from a dream by the ringing of the phone, and Anthea tells him that Andrew West, a civil servant with the Bruce Partington Project information, has been found dead by the railroad road, and the Ruth Partington Project information in his possession has disappeared.
However, it is certain that because of the rigor of Ruth Pattington's plan, McCroft also made several preparations, he created an investigation team on the surface, and secretly handed over the matter to some reliable agents. Andrew, who found the dead, was the one who many people knew about the investigation team, and all the information in his hand was what Mycroft wanted him to investigate, which was referred to as false.
This plan was being watched by a lot of people, including some al-Qaeda, so Mycroft had an idea in his mind after hearing that something was missing, and they were better off lacking a bait to lure/lure Moriati into going into action immediately, and now the opportunity came.
Because Sherlock and Watson had quarreled before, to be honest, Sherlock was just too boring, he had already received a message from Harold, and he knew a little more about Jim's appearance, but he underestimated this Jim Moriarty, and even knew to start from Jasmine.
Because of the disappearance of Ruth Partington's plan materials, Mycroft got out of bed/out of bed after making the plan, gave Lestrade a kiss, and told him that he was going to Sherlock's.
"Sherlock? It is said that he blew up his house yesterday? ”
It was a phone call from last night, and it was said to be a gas leak, and the main cause of the gas leak was that Sherlock had leaked the pipe with a gun.
In general, Sherlock himself died.
"Yes, I'll wait to see him, but I don't think it's going to be anything."
If something had happened, the side would have known the news, and Lestro pulled McCroft by the collar and dropped another heavy kiss and a tooth mark, "Remember to pay Mrs. Hades." ”
221B Baker Street is a downtown location, and it's a blessing in disguise that no one can hurt anyone.
When McCroft arrived at 221B Baker Street, he saw Sherlock in his pajamas, glared at his brother and said, "Sherlock, get your face in order." ”
What is that Sherlock said that he didn't know very well, he was holding his own violin in his hand, and he looked up at Mycroft's so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and Mycroft was able to come over early in the morning with information to prove what was a strict matter.
"Tell me, my dear brother, what is it that you need my help."
"It's not just your help, Sherlock has something to do with you."
After that, the Holmes brothers had a conversation for half an hour without a quarrel, and it was already certain that there were no real documents in the plan, and that it would be just right to use Moriati as a means of exploiting him.
It was the first time for McCroft to be here, and he looked around that the room was a little cramped compared to his or Lestrade's apartment, and because the explosion looked more cluttered, McCroft suddenly thought of Sherlock's roommate, "Looks like your Dr. Watson has abandoned you, little Charlie." ”
Sherlock snorted coldly, they just quarreled.
"But if you can bring back the other half of Mommy, whether it's your man or girl, they'll accept it."
Probably because Sherlock cares too much about Watson, Mycroft is very worried about whether the two will really have different feelings after getting along for a long time, especially Sherlock, because he is a Sherlock Holmes, although his emotional intelligence is relatively low, as long as it is something that has been identified, he has already insisted on it to the end. While McCroft hopes that Sherlock will not live alone, he also hopes that Sherlock will not be harmed.
"It's enough for you and Greg at home."
Sherlock thinks he's married to work, so he's not looking for a partner.
It was because of this incident that Sherlock and Mycroft quarreled again, and they stood up very childishly, which is the scene of the house that Watson saw when he returned, and the two of them sat in a section, and Sherlock had a violin in his hand, and he was boredly plucking the strings there, making noise after noise.
Watson saw Mycroft for the first time in recent times, and when he saw his stern expression, he knew that he had quarreled with Sherlock, and the reason for the quarrel seemed to be because of the text in McCroft's hand.
Eventually, a kind-hearted Watson took the case from McCroft's hands.
Sherlock and Mycroft will never be able to live in peace, Watson still knows this, but he looks at the case in his hand, and he really can't be kind.
As McCroft had said before, Jim Moriarty did act, an envelope sent to him and a pink cell phone, and this time it was finally Lestrade who took the case, and when Sherlock arrived at Scotland Yard, the whole person was in a relaxed step.
It's funny that someone used the same cell phone that appeared in the case of Pink Lady to call him, and at the same time gave him a time limit, and Jim Moriarty was probably the only one who could play such a trick.
Although this person has not yet appeared in front of him, the game has already begun.
A pair of shoes and a case reminded Sherlock of his childhood, when everyone thought he was wrong, and the drowning case ended with only one person who didn't suspect him, and that was his brother Mycroft Holmes.
Mycroft says that Sherlock is a kid who can't lie, and that if he thinks there's a murder of that person, that's a murder.
Jim Moriarty appeared at Butz Hospital, he disguised himself as a gay, or a gay who liked to scratch his head and constantly send signals to Sherlock, Watson stood by and watched Jim have some complicated feelings, I don't know if it was because of jealousy or because he pitied the man called Jim.
Shylock is actually a very good actor, Jim Moriarty thinks he is hiding it well, after all, he is a narcissist, but he doesn't know that he has been known by Shylock's true identity, Sherlock turned the camera that Harold and they had prepared in advance in the direction of Moriarty, he knew that someone over there must have received this information.
It was not yet known when Moriati was captured, but Shylock thought that the man would have smirked when he got out of the room, because his enemies didn't recognize him as he was. Hannibal had said something to the little Reids, Sherlock had accidentally overheard, and it was useful for him to think about it now.
Only after truly mastering the opponent's gestures can this arrogant capital be achieved.
Moriarti thinks he has the rules of the game, but he doesn't know that this qiē is all set by Sherlock.
Watson had some questions, why not arrest Moria now? In this case, you will be able to save a lot of trouble.
Sherlock shook his head, "Because Moriarti must have a back-up move, someone like him must not control the whole situation by himself, and if he dies one day, he must make sure that his forces can function." ”
So for now, they'd better turn their attention to the case.
Harold took out his phone during the bear child's lunch break, and there were some information that the machine had sent to him, one of the more interesting ones was the high-profile one hidden in the code, Jim, who had left an address for Jasmine's personal blog, which was summed up as SHERLOCKIAMCOMINGTOGETYOU.
This piece of information was released at 10:09,
It doesn't seem like there's anything to investigate at the time, but this sentence is combined with the information they got from Lestrade, Moriarti is the one who gave Sherlock the question, and the case that is now going on is from Moriarti's masterpiece, and they need to confirm where Moriarti appears to determine what he wants to do in the future.
Moriarti has a man named Moran who they have recently learned, which is mentioned by Moriarti in his "confiding" with Hannibal, Moran is the second-in-command of this organization, and even Moriarti told Hannibal that if he falls, Moran will be able to do his job immediately.
It sounded like a disguised threat, threatening Hannibal not to be of any interest in him.
Hannibal really doesn't have that much interest in Moriarty, after all, she was a substitute at the beginning, and the replacement was Will, and now that Will has returned, Moriarti's unformed work has become his black history.
This was just the beginning, and from the 29th onwards, Sherlock had one challenge after another, so much so that Lestrade had to work overtime for this man.
On March 31, the first victim appeared.
It was a lady, an elderly lady, who had always wanted to explain the man's voice to Sherlock, but she didn't expect to be silenced, because it was a long-range attack, so she couldn't tell what it was.
There is another thing, as Mycroft said, that Moriarty is a rather ambitious man, and he must have gotten the information about that matter from somewhere, so he turned his attention to that matter. When he found out that Sherlock was starting to get involved with the case, he began to have other ideas, maybe he could snatch the memory stick from Sherlock's hand.
So there was the pool incident.
Sherlock was nervous for a moment after seeing Watson come out, he didn't know what to say, his feelings for Watson were like what McCroft said, otherwise he wouldn't have thought he was his roommate at first sight, and even gave half of his bed to Watson later.
"John ......"
"It doesn't look like this kind of meeting is something we can think of."
Watson spread his hands with a slight smile on his face, to be honest, it's nothing, isn't it, he believes that Sherlock can handle this qiē, but Watson didn't expect that Jasmine's lover was the so-called Jim Moriarty, it seems that Sherlock is right, this person is indeed not simple.
"Welcome to the place where your last game is, Sherlock."
Sherlock sneered when he heard Watson say this, "The final game? Then let me meet the other protagonist, right? ”
The other protagonist is talking about whom, of course, is Moriati.
On the other side of the hallway, Moriarty walked out, his voice was very low, and when he reached a little distance from Sherlock, he fiddled with some of his clothes, then looked up at Sherlock and said with a smile: "Long admire the great name, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, are you still satisfied with my previous performance?" ”
"It's a shame it's not as good as it could be."
