[Comprehensive] Aunt sweeping the floor

If someone had told Holmes half a day ago that the road conditions in London would be so bad, he would not have believed it.But just today, at a very important time hurdle, it was as if the pause button was pressed on the only way to the new building, and the traffic jam along the way was almost horrible.

People who don't know will think that today is a big day, so that it seems that all the cars in London have been driven out of the garage and concentrated on this section of the road.

——but Mycroft knew this routine well. Someone had provoked a traffic war on the road he must pass.The so-called traffic jam is just that some people don't want him to rush to the scene quickly.

Of course, there are quite a few people in London who have such abilities, but not all of them are willing to take such a risk to collide with a Sherlock Holmes who just lost his brother.

Therefore, it is not one person who caused all this, but the result of the compromise of many forces.

So now comes the question - is Catherine really dead?

Mycroft didn't want to believe that.After all, this delay can also be interpreted as Catherine taking longer to get away with it.In addition, others don't know it, but he knows it very well. Based on the supernatural data displayed by a witch, the possibility of jumping to death is very low.

What's more, the style of the road this time is somewhat similar to that of Sherlock's death. Let's take it as some kind of mischievous tribute. If you think about it comprehensively, the possibility of Catherine's suspended animation has a slight upper hand.

But there is still a certain chance that people will die like this.It seems that among the majority of fighting movies with happy endings, there are still some movies that end in tragedy.

Not all amazing people end well.Some people's endings are so hasty that it's unbelievable... But it's all based on seeing real people.

The small black car is still stuck in the road.Since someone is determined not to let him rush to the scene quickly, it is difficult to pass through the traffic even with a special license plate.Holmes looked sharply at the two cars on the left and right outside the window. — Not to mention the car-to-car surveillance, any action by him would be another disaster.

Is it okay to take the empty road?

No.

Holmes himself did not own an airplane.And today is also very 'coincidentally', all the places where he can dispatch the helicopter in a short time have told him that the plane has an urgent appointment.

And the planes that have spare time are all too far away, losing the meaning of contact.

So capable people like Sherlock Holmes can only sit in the back seat of the car, closing their eyes and resting their minds.

——Or he wasn't just closing his eyes and resting his mind.While closing his eyes, countless tiny clues twisted and unraveled in Holmes' brain.Some clues have been running for a long time, more than ten years, and some clues are very short, maybe just who is serving the breakfast plate today?

In the process of thinking, it was impossible to avoid thinking about meeting Catherine for the last time. ——She had a cold and refused to take potions, she entrusted two cats to him, and arranged for Anna to go abroad.

Abnormal behavior like this should never be ignored.The reason why all these things were not taken seriously in the end was also because these things were too abnormal.

Catherine presses one anomaly over the other, keeping each at a safe distance, and she makes it all look like an ingenious prank.For a while, Holmes thought it was Catherine's way of meeting him.In the conclusion drawn through the basic deductive method, Catherine gave him two cats TOEFL, and it seemed that she was just looking for a topic.

In any case, this neglect is very pathological and abnormal.So that when Holmes was not influenced by Catherine, he easily thought of the loopholes in his previous cognition.

Catherine deliberately made many fake parameters, such as the actual heart corresponding to a certain expression.This is the left method. When you want to deceive, you can hide it from everyone.

Such speculation heightens the balance on the side of Catherine's true death.Catherine may be really dead, this perception is a little hard to accept.

Holmes opened his eyes, and the flow of the car became a little more cheerful.It should be that one of the forces has withdrawn from the control of this section of road.After a few more minutes, the speed of the vehicle rose a little more.This confirmed Holmes' guess.

—These people controlling the traffic flow simply didn't want him to see Catherine's...'remains' before them.Among the many conspiracy theories, this speculation is extremely simple and ridiculous. Who can believe that those profit-seeking people in the gray industry will one day be able to brainstorm and join forces to stop the "British-Government-Government".

But the absurd drama always has its reason for its existence. Mycroft finally arrived at the scene after enduring half an hour on the fast and slow road.

Layers of control on the scene could not prevent Holmes from judging.From the water marks on the ground and the state of the detectives, it can be seen that many people were surrounded here.These people stayed where they were, less people watched the excitement, and more people mourned.

Fortunately, none of them are the romantic idea people who will pile flowers around the corpse, so there is very little damage to the scene.

There is a small detail, that is, the reporter who was blocked on the road with Holmes, and who unfortunately have not been able to arrive at the scene until now, are a group of reporters.

If the road conditions were clear and there were no hands or feet, the reporters here would not only have two or three kittens.

The blood mixed with rainwater looked shocking.Mycroft propped up his little black umbrella, and approached the corpse step by step.

Dark red rain soaked his black custom-made leather shoes.This is of course the last detail that needs attention right now.Lestrade silently helped him untie the plastic film covering him, so the surrounding detectives also understood the ultimate meaning of this wait.

Of course, the person who died by jumping off the building will not have a very beautiful remains.What's more, the corpse has not been processed, and it has been drenched in the rain in a semi-protected state for several hours.No matter how beautiful a person was before he was alive, he may not be able to say something beautiful against his will at this time.

The night is already very deep, as if it is the last light in the dark night, it is also extinguished in front of people's eyes.Life henceforth is nothing but a dark vision, or a dark world, what difference does it make?

Mycroft shook the handle of the black umbrella with a little force.He looked at the corpse, but for no reason thought of a line in a book he read in college.

'The show was quite a success, but the audience was a disaster. '

——This is what Wilde said. As an old-fashioned Englishman, at this time, some Shakespeare quotations should be used to some extent, but when the last sentence of Wilde's words came out, there was no more appropriate words to replace it.

Lestrade had been watching Holmes' expression.He didn't know what he was expecting either.Maybe it was the waiting that made him have some expectations, but in the end, until Holmes turned around blankly, he didn't see any difference.

"You can follow the procedure. The deceased is Catherine Nolan herself."

When Holmes walked to the side of the car, the voice sounded steadily.His back is still tall and straight, and when looking at him from behind, he is still the man who can stand up to all difficulties.

"Is there any clue to pay attention to?"

"This is a matter for the special department. Someone will handle the transfer of the files later."

"Then...isn't this suicide?"

"Of course." Holmes turned briskly.Where no one could notice, his line of sight skipped over Catherine's body slightly erratically.Only he himself knows that it's not because Catherine's corpse looks swollen and ugly, but that this person is really dead, and the corpse can also talk, and the resentment she had during her lifetime can be seen at this time .

Yes, see like never before.

For Mycroft, perhaps something has quietly changed.But this remains the same for outsiders.In fact, if there is not enough insight, what is the difference between this winter and the past, for most people, it is just a small detail that does not need to be paid attention to.

Mycroft said in a brisk tone on the surface, indifferently: "It's worth her death."

But nothing was worth as much as she was alive.

Open the car door, close the umbrella, bow your head, and get into the car.Hours of waiting turned into a few brief exchanges with the detective and a glimpse of love standing next to the body.

Lestrade and Watson exchanged glances from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh for the dead man.

The new secretary had been with Mycroft for some time.Her predecessor had a very happy appreciation experience, which is what she expected.

Following this boss can have a good future.At least you don't have to worry about being suppressed by your boss because you are too talented. In front of Mr. Holmes, there are only smart people and people who think they are smart.

Few people can get the blue eyes of Holmes.If there had to be one, probably the dead Miss Catherine could be counted among them.

Miss Secretary once saw Catherine's related files in the database.The ordinary file looks like a down-and-out ordinary person, but the more times he actually meets, the more Miss Secretary feels that Miss Nolan is unfathomable.

At the beginning of taking office, many people with different purposes tried their best to meet the secretary. They showed great sincerity and offered the greatest temptation.For a few days, Miss Secretary was in a trance, walking at a crossroads in her life.At that time, she didn't expect that Catherine, who was the subject of surveillance, could give any more pertinent advice.

But in fact, that afternoon, when the secretary was in a daze at the edge of the desk, Catherine, who seemed harmless, walked past her.Those dark eyes glanced at her with a smile that was not a smile, and gave her a suggestion in a friendly voice: "Those rich promises are rarely fulfilled, but that fat man's promises can be trusted. Shhh "He actually knows everything."

Mycroft knew it all.

The mystery of this sentence is what Miss Secretary believes in most after her work has stabilized.

When she was swaying in the temptation, she thought that she already had a lot of authority.But after she resolutely rejected all solicitations, the information in her hand more than doubled.However, this is not all. With the continuation of the working hours, a large amount of information is continuously gathered in Mr. Holmes's office.

As Holmes' secretary, her scope of duties is not limited to mi6.

But at this point today, Miss Secretary actually has a good impression of Catherine.She had heard that her position had been promised to Catherine.No matter how unwilling to admit it, it was Catherine's giving up that made her who she is today.

At one time, Miss Secretary felt that Mr. Holmes liked Catherine.This can be confirmed in many ways.For example, the occasional nostalgic eyes, such as the folder about Miss Catherine that was opened up separately.

But does Catherine know?Occasionally her knowing expression makes it seem like she already knows it all.But most of the time, she was so ignorant that people couldn't help but remind her.

But none of that matters now.Catherine is already dead, do you know that this relationship is nothing more than a few feathers falling from a tall building, the lightness can't decide the overall situation at all.

The secretary secretly took a look at Holmes' profile. His eyes were deep and he didn't seem to be affected in any way.

No, the influence probably still exists. In the past, Sherlock Holmes would never stare out the window in the car, and he looked a little lost in thought.
