84. The Goldfish of the British Empire[15]

“…… Eventually, in the bunker built by Mr. Valentine, we rescued the dignitaries of the Eastern European countries who had been kidnapped by him. Mycroft said slowly, and Gu Qing, one of the participants in this matter, didn't raise his eyelids, concentrating on the dessert in front of him.

They were now having dinner in a lavish restaurant, which had been booked by Mycroft, of course, so that the restaurant was surprisingly crowded, and strictly speaking only they were real guests, to which Sherlock rolled his eyes at Mycroft as soon as he entered.

As for why Mycroft would bring up Valentine's attempt to cause a global massacre, it is really not worth making a fuss about in the Sherlock Holmes family, given that Mommy and Daddy both know about McCroft's work, so McCroft will occasionally bring up some accidents that are not very important as after-dinner conversations.

"Looks like 007 has saved the world once again, God Save the Queen." Daddy is actually the most curious one, but the focus is off. Mycroft wisely didn't ask Daddy how he came to such a conclusion, he didn't want to be nagged by Mommy, but with Daddy's words, Mycroft naturally shifted the topic to Gu Qing, "Unfortunately, Patrick's boss was affected. ”

Gu Qing finally finished one of McCroft's favorite desserts in the dessert after the meal, looking at Mycroft's face that looked like he was regretting what he said, but in fact it was a look of misfortune for the dessert after the meal, he was not in a bad mood, and he was not particularly resistant to McCroft's practice of playing curveball. He told Mommy and Daddy who came to him: "The board of directors has removed him and replaced him with another director, and I appreciate that the new boss is happy to keep up with the times." ”

Daddy smiled and said, "Patrick is so good taught by Mommy, he won't be uncomfortable just because of a change of boss, right?" ”

Gu Qing didn't roll his eyes with Mycroft and Sherlock this time, despising Daddy's behavior of flattering Mommy all the time, of course, because he didn't have a chance, after all, Mommy and Daddy were looking at him, and he rolled his eyes in his heart. "Of course."

Mommy smiled and said, "That's good." Mommy turned her head to Sherlock, just glanced at him and said with some grumbling in her voice, "Charlie, put your phone away and finish the dessert in front of you." I don't want to repeat what Pie said about you not eating for thirty-six hours, and God knows if there is anything else like that. Now in front of me, I can't allow that to happen again. ”

Sherlock paused immediately when he heard this, stuffed the phone into his pocket, and stared at Mommy, if Mommy would retreat in his eyes that can see through people's hearts and usually make people feel ashamed to death, then it will not be Mommy, and finally after a full ten seconds of stalemate, Sherlock reluctantly compromised: "Fine, I'll find myself a roommate." ”

Mommy was amused, and she wasn't at all worried that Sherlock would be tricky: "Mrs. Hudson is a good landlord, and she told me a lot of interesting facts about Baker Street, and Daddy and I would be happy to move here." ”

Sherlock didn't dare to do it with Mommy anymore, he knew very well that Mommy could do what he said, but that didn't stop him from aiming his gun at Mycroft, the culprit in a sense, and squeezed out a Sherlock-esque smirk and said, "I think Mycroft would be happy for you to stay in the city for a few more days, and he usually talks about Mommy, which shows that he misses you very much." Oh, Mycroft don't use your itinerary as an excuse, I know you've been freeing up for the past few days. ”

"Didn't Mommy say she wanted to visit the Parliament building? Maybe you'd like to see the Department of Defense building? Gu Qing didn't want to set himself on fire like Sherlock, it's not that he wasn't happy that Mommy and Daddy moved in with him, okay, he wasn't happy. Besides, this is a flanking McCroft, and even if there is no previous relationship with McCroft pulling him over with "an accident", he is willing to extend a "helping hand" to Sherlock, who has sacrificed himself. "Originally, I really wanted to be with you, but you also heard from McCroft that I just had a new boss, and I have to make a good impression on the new boss, even if it is necessary to be pretentious. So, Mycroft, you don't want to disappoint Mommy, do you? ”

The muscles in McCroft's cheeks twitched, and he felt that in the few days that Mommy and Daddy spent in London he would be even more miserable than Jean Argen in "Les Miserables", even if his ears had already been miserable once when he listened to "Les Misérables".

He tapped his fingertips on the table, then looked at his two smug younger brothers, and half-squinted his eyes, thinking that he was so defeated, uh-huh, it was still too naïve.

Gu Qing and Sherlock rolled their eyes in unison, ignoring Mycroft's hints. Gu Qing's toes stepped on the smooth and recognizable marble floor, making a regular sound: [Do you need me to make you a roommate?] ]

Sherlock really thought about it, but after much deliberation he refused, [I'll find one myself.] ]

Gu Qing thought for a moment and gave Sherlock a sincere recommendation: [How is Anderson?] ]

Sherlock's disgust was palpable, in contrast to the delight on his stomach as he stuffed dessert into his stomach with a ferocious look.

Gu Qing didn't care, even if they were brothers, but the aesthetics were different, in the end, they could only wish Sherlock good luck, it seemed a little insincere. After thinking about it, Gu Qing "said" again: [You will like the new mobile phone I sent.] When I "quarreled" with Sherlock before, I didn't just talk about the new phone, and besides, in the royal gentleman, even the king-sman-pad was available, and the development of the king-sman-phone was not a big problem. That's right, that's how self-sufficient they are. Of course, the Royal Gentleman's Tailor in Savile Row is still open to the general public.

[Manners, gentlemen.] Mycroft stepped in (literally) and gave a McCroft-esque smile, then the smile froze for two seconds.

Gu Qing neatly withdrew his long legs and sat upright, not at all surprised that Sherlock "accidentally" kicked Mycroft's ankle. Seeing that Mycroft was holding back his painless exhalation, he smiled innocently, while Sherlock smiled even more fakely, and his face was hopeless.

Mommy coughed, stopped the tension that spread from under the table to the top of the table, and Daddy, who was drinking tea, raised his head, looked at Mommy blankly, and asked with concern: "Is your throat uncomfortable?" ”

In short, this dinner was a great experience, probably.

Gu Qing said goodbye to Mommy and Daddy and returned to the royal gentleman's base, Jimmy ran over happily, Merlin followed behind and asked casually, "Why did you go so late and come back?" ”

Gu Qing teased Jimmy and said casually: "Mommy and Daddy came to the city to play for a few days, and I accompanied them for an afternoon." ”

"Oh, ah!" Merlin reacted in astonishment.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What is your reaction?" Of course I have parents. ”

"Really? I thought you were a machine, given that you don't look like a human being a lot of the time. Merlin said sarcastically.

"Thanks for the compliment." Gu Qing was worthy of the #thick-skinned # label that his friend Benjamin had labeled him, and he didn't have any adverse reactions to Merlin's sarcasm, and stared at Merlin with burning eyes, "Since you've said that, I think it's time to tell you part of the truth-" He stopped abruptly when he said this.

"Why didn't you say that? I'd like to see how many trains you can run in your mouth. Merlin said coldly with his hands around his chest, and Gu Qing threw a white eye at him: "You're so boring, good night." With that, he took Jimmy and left.

Merlin: "...... HolyShit! He felt that sooner or later he would be angry with Gu Qing to the point of intracranial hemorrhage, so now it is necessary to #Out of sight and out of mind#, when he goes back, he will check what field tasks there are, the farther away from London, the more difficult it is, the longer it will take the better!

Therefore, what greeted Gu Qing the next day was Merlin, who announced that his vacation was over early and went out on a field assignment, and Merlin was very "kind" to give him several choices.

Gu Qing was very happy to go out on field assignments, he checked the list of tasks given to him by Merlin, and took them all very happily, "No problem, but I think I need three days to prepare, is that okay?" "Mommy and Daddy will be in the city for three days, and he'll have to be on call in London to avoid any accidents.

Merlin: "...... I'm asking you to pick one. ”

"Are you sure?" Gu Qing said as he flipped through one of the missions, which was an intelligence letter intercepted by the relevant personnel of the Royal Gentleman's branch in Berlin that might be related to local terrorists, his brain was running at high speed, and after a minute, he said: "This intelligence letter uses an Aryan code name, and the Aryans like to use the code name invented by Francis Bacon four hundred years ago as a password, which is a binary code. Francis Bacon used a twenty-one alphabet, a twenty-four alphabet, each representing a string of five-digit binary numbers, a combination that could produce thirty-two codes, which were usually processed by computer, but the answer was found by handwriting. Well, that local terrorist group could be defined as a remnant Nazi organization. If you think I'm saying this because Germany is the birthplace of the Nazis, you're not wrong, but Hitler, who is not a historian, defined "Aryan" as a "noble purebred", and he was stunned to change the race of the blond, blue-eyed Germanic people in the five Nordic countries and Scandinavia. So, he's the one who can run a train in his mouth. Well, do you have a pen, Merlin? ”

Merlin: "...... You can't run a train in your mouth, you can fire a chain of cannonballs! After spitting out the deviation, Merlin still handed him the pen with twitching out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Qing took the pen, deciphered the code on the table, and took the time to dislike Merlin lightly: "Don't sit in the well and watch the sky, Merlin, there are people who speak faster than me." If Merlin had seen Sherlock's speed of speech, he wouldn't have made such a fuss.

Merlin took a deep breath and exhaled, calming down his bipolar mood, and finally broke the jar and said, "Whatever you want." ”

"Is it really good to be so irresponsible?" Gu Qing, who was cheap and obedient, shook his head and ran away neatly before Merlin angrily "haired" and rushed to the crown.

On the night of Mommy and Daddy's departure, Gu Qing left London in a simple car, and the next day Merlin was woken up early in the morning and stared at Jimmy at the bedroom door. "Gareth !!"

"Wang."

And on this day, John Watson, a former military doctor, ushered in a new chapter in his life. When he was at the scene of the crime with two corpses, his heart was broken, and he licked his somewhat dry lips and began to wonder how the hell he had gotten to this point.

He retired from Afghanistan and he found someone to share a house...... Yes, things just went off the rails from the moment we got someone to share here. Watson felt that he should have realized something was wrong when he saw Sherlock Holmes in the real yàn room of Buzz Hospital, after all, it only took him a few minutes to launch the trajectory of his nearly thirty-year life.

Normal people would back down at this point, but Watson didn't.

He had several chances to regret it, such as meeting him in front of 221B Baker Street, and when he suggested that it was downtown and the rent was expensive, he replied, "The landlord, Mrs. Hudson, gave me a special price, and she owes me a favor." A few years ago, her husband was sentenced to life in Florida, and I did something. Well, I testified against him and got him sentenced to death. "At the time; For example, when he followed the other party up to the second floor and saw Mr. Skull; Another example is when the other party receives a double corpse case and happily jumps up like a child who has gotten a toy......

But instead of being a former military doctor, when the other party invited him to go to the crime scene to see the body, he agreed without thinking about it. It wasn't until he actually arrived at the crime scene and saw the two bodies that had been shot that he thought in hindsight that his future roommate said that he was consulting a detective, and it seemed to be true.

"What do you think, Dr. Watson?"

Sherlock's deep voice pulled Watson's mind back to reality, and he looked at Sherlock in confusion.

Sherlock motioned for him to look at the corpse on the ground: "Corpse, you're a doctor, what do you think?" ”

Watson glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, "Didn't the original detective say that?" They were shot and killed. ”

"The analysis is accurate, but I hope you go a little deeper."

Watson: "Ugh. He leaned over and looked, "It looks like they were all shot in the chest and killed with one shot." Presumably the suspect chased them here, shot them and fled? ”

Anderson's taunt immediately came: "Are you a repeater?" The boss said that earlier, and we're looking for guns, assailants, and possible witnesses in the area. Do you want to repeat this to the freak? ”

Watson: "......" Who did he recruit and provoke someone?

Lestrade withdrew his gaze from Watson, inexplicably relieved. To be honest, he didn't expect Sherlock to bring someone over this time, and asked for his opinion. This immediately reminded Lestrade of the last time something like this happened, when little Mr. Holmes had infiltrated their crime scene, and God knows how he had managed to get there, and no one else had noticed it (which Lestrade had never written in the report). With such an experience, the Inspector became wary when Watson spoke, well, now rest assured, this is definitely a goldfish.

Alas? Why did he say it was a goldfish? Lestrade himself secretly embarrassed, this must have been infected by Anderson, this girl is now "goldfish goldfish" to taunt others, of course he was infected by little Sherlock Holmes. So, now corrected this Dr. Watson is an ordinary person.

The detective, who silently felt that he had been hit by an arrow in his knee, lifted his forehead, cheered up and said, "Sherlock, it's been two minutes." ”

Sherlock glanced around with his usual expression, and without saying anything, his feelings of contempt were conveyed in place, and Anderson stood behind Lestrader and silently said, "You goldfish." ”

Lestrade: "...... Anderson, turn your face away! He now kind of understood Sherlock's mood when he said this.

Anderson was shocked: "Huh? ”

Lestrade insisted: "Turn your back. ”

Anderson turned his head unwillingly, and his mouth was not idle: "With a doctorate, I lowered the IQ of Scotland Yard, which is really embarrassing." ”

Lestrade: "...... Sherlock, say it. ”

Watson: "...... what's going on?" At this moment, Sherlock began to speak: "The two deceased, both wearing the uniforms of Gordon's security company, at least they look like this. The man's armband was sewn recently, and his clothes were bought in the store rather than custom-made by the uniform company, indicating that he was pretending to be a security guard. As for the museum they were responsible for preserving, he didn't lose anything, so he did it to get into the parking lot, and it would be easier to look through the cars by dressing up as a security guard. ”

Anderson was unwilling to be lonely and spoke: "For God's sake, you just said it in passing." ”

Sherlock rolled his eyes a little and said, "Pockets, see what's in his pockets?" ”

Lestrade now gave up his resistance, and asked Donovan to take the evidence, and instead of handing it to Sherlock, he opened it himself, and opened the deceased's wallet, where he saw four vehicle registration cards. Sherlock glanced at it, "Oh, see what this game is?" Oh my God, isn't that obvious? ”

The puzzled Watson said honestly: "Huh? It's not obvious to me. What the hell is going on? ”

Sherlock glanced at Watson, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then quickly leveled out and said quickly: "The vehicle registration card has the owner's address, and this person is responsible for picking a high-end car, calling his accomplices, and taking advantage of the owner's absence to carry out the robbery." He paused, but still no one answered, he let out a sigh of relief, and then continued: "So the situation is like this, the real security guard saw that the fake security guard was acting sneaky, so he followed. The fake security guard fired a shot at the real security guard, and the real security guard didn't die, so he snatched the gun and fired a shot at the fake security guard, and that's what it is now. This case is so boring! Know what the more boring thing is? ”

Watson said in a tone mixed with admiration and bewilderment, "What? I don't know if it's an illusion, but he feels that his future roommate's eyes seem to be brighter.

"Uh-huh, take out his cell phone, make one last call, Inspector, and you can talk to his accomplices." It's rare that Sherlock didn't start a group laugh again, although the effect wasn't much worse.

There was another familiar silence at the crime scene.

Usually no one speaks at this time, but today is obviously different, and the former military doctor suddenly realized: "So there is no suspect at all, right?" I thought they were all victims, so I didn't think much about anything else, but that's ...... Magical. That's the word he chose.

Sherlock didn't seem to have changed, but he actually liked it a lot, as he smiled and asked, "So you're moving in?" ”

Watson reacted with a slow half-beat: "Oh, yes. ”

Originally, the atmosphere was quite good, until Anderson screamed: "What do you mean by moving in?" ”

"We're going to share 221B Baker Street, uh, what's the problem?" The honest Watson replied.

Lestrade looked at Sherlock in surprise, who was still wearing a famous brand, this guy would be short of money to find someone to share a house?

Naturally, Anderson thought about it, and he thought it deeper, he opened his mouth wide and said in a sharp voice, "Ohmygod! Sherlock Holmes is a GAY!! No, no, no, finding a man to live with doesn't mean he's purely gay, but now it's certain that he's not heterosexual, and he could be bisexual or pansexual. ”

Straight man Watson: What happened to "......" in the past few years that he joined the army? At 221B Baker Street, the landlady hinted that they only needed one bedroom, and said that the couple next door were married. Could it be that he has a face that could easily be mistaken for gay? Although I don't know what "pansexual" means, straight men can't bear to encounter this kind of suspected sexual orientation, "We're not living together, we're just sharing a house!" Is it hard to understand, O Christ Jesus?

It's a pity that no one listened to him, after all, it was Sherlock Holmes, and he was looking for someone to live with! Live together! Live together! ← important things to say three times.

God, this is a big event!

Lestrade coughed, he thought for a moment and said to Sherlock, "Can you come over for a moment?" I have a case that you might be interested in. ”

Sherlock said in a bored tone, "I doubt it. But he followed Lestrade aside.

As soon as they left, almost everyone at the crime scene saluted Watson. Under the spicy gaze, Rao is resolute former military doctor couldn't help but take a step back and swallowed his saliva.
