[Comprehensive] Aunt sweeping the floor

Sherlock didn't stay in the hospital to study Catherine, thanks to Mycroft's obstruction.

As one of the most powerful people in the UK, the British government has to pass through his hands for many confidential tasks.The president has changed term after term, but Holmes is always there, rock-solid and unattainable.

There are countless cases in London every day. Catherine, the victim of the dismemberment case, should have been hidden in the large and small case files in the archives.

However, as a wizard, she was almost killed by a Muggle, which once again brought the cooperation between the wizarding world and the Muggle world to the forefront.

ten in the morning.

Mycroft had gone through a third of the office's files.His orders were carried out, and no one knew how big a storm those seldom made mistakes could cause.But what is certain is that any thorny problem can always be properly resolved in the shortest possible time before the humanoid computer of Mycroft Holmes.

Cynthia knocked on the office door.The furnishings in this small office are quite satisfactory, and it is just one of the offices of Mycroft in various places.

The documents on the large solid wood desk are neatly stacked into several piles - the documents that have been reviewed are densely packed with different handwriting marks. Among the many messy handwriting, Mycroft's clean and neat italic characters are very eye-catching, and also for the The document sets the tone for implementation.The dozen next to it were still clean print, and after his morning's work, the dozen had become much thinner.

Many of Mycroft's work overlapped with that of the Prime Minister. Every day, important news from major newspapers would be displayed in the most prominent place on the desk in the form of a briefing.

But these are things Mycocroft usually only skims over.For mi6's *oss, this method of obtaining information in a regular manner is still stuck in the Neolithic Age.

In the corner of Mycroft's desk was a red telephone, a secure telephone to the upper echelon, a hint of the status of the owner of the office.In addition, the globes, portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, maps and small flags on the walls are standard decorations in all of Mycroft's offices. I can't fault it. I'm a proper politician, and I don't reveal my personal preferences. .

"Come in." During the interval, Mycroft used text messages every 1 minute to make overall arrangements.

Cynthia turned the doorknob and walked to his desk with another dozen thick documents. This dozen documents were different from the others, and some parchment was mixed inside.

Mycroft just glanced at it and said teasingly, "It's time for reform again."

"—From mi5's information, the Prime Minister named you to be in charge of this matter." Cynthia completely ignored Mycroft's teasing. During working hours, she was professional and dedicated, performing her own duties with a poker face.

"Help me get in touch with a person—Ms. Victoria from mi5." Mycroft only picked up the top document and scanned it, then quickly made arrangements.

The video call was quickly connected.

At the other end of the video, a well-dressed middle-aged woman sat in front of the camera.That is the real power figure of mi5 next door.The story of her struggle could be written into a legendary story-Victoria's vigorous style, known as the 'Iron Lady' by people inside the department.When Victoria walked in the hall of mi5, it was as if the rulers of the past had come to life again.

Mycroft has worked with this guy a few times before.Victoria has a strong desire for control and a good overall view. Victoria can do well in some parts that Mycroft cannot intervene.Generally speaking, the past several cooperations, both of them got along very happily.

But recently, mi6 has discovered some early Victorian secrets.Those things that did exist, no matter how you cover them up, will one day be seen again.

Mycroft never let go of any clues.From the day he saw Catherine, he re-examined Victoria's file.Catherine and Victoria not only have very similar eyebrows and eyes, but also have a common name between them - Nolan.

When Mycroft first came to power, it was the most prominent time for the Nolan family.The heir of the family at the time was fascinated by Victoria, and insisted on marrying Victoria, a middle-class family, regardless of the family's opinions.

As a veteran parliamentary family.Little Mr. Nolan's love story tossed the House of Lords like a storm.The old fox watched from the sidelines, and the rising star took the opportunity to climb up.After the combination of Mr. Nolan and Victoria, the position of the House of Lords has been changed, which can be called a major event ten years ago.

In this marriage that everyone is not optimistic about, Victoria has always been very tough.Someone once compared her to Princess Diana, and that stalemate lasted until the birth of Victoria's eldest daughter, which allowed Victoria to occupy a place in the Nolan family.

It is worth exploring that when Victoria's eldest daughter was five years old, the Nolan family was once in crisis because of the choice of those in power.Mr. Nolan was critically ill, and the surname Nolan stood in the wind and rain for a while.Victoria was at the beginning of power at that time.Three years later, with her excellent means, she became the person in charge of mi5, but at that time, Victoria's youngest daughter unfortunately died.

The funeral of the youngest daughter of the Nolan family was very grand.Victoria seems to be mourning deeply, but in fact, she has gained sympathy from the outside world from the death of her young daughter. When dealing with many cases, she also used the position of a mother who lost her young daughter to play the emotional card.

The view of the Prime Minister and Chief of Staff at the time was that wizards and ordinary people simply cannot get along in harmony.Wizards should be registered like supernatural beings as weapons rather than as members of the same race.

The Nolans stood by the prime minister's decision at the time.When Victoria came to power, as a member of mi5, her policy towards wizards was also her main strategy.

During that time, the relationship between the wizarding world and the Muggle government dropped to a freezing point.

——until the turning point of the ice-melting agent appeared...

"Mr. Holmes, I have received an order from the President, and I will cooperate with you to complete the second negotiation with wizards. So what can I help you?" Victoria's desktop has also piled up a lot of documents, until now , She has never changed her political views on the wizarding world - wizards must accept the government's establishment management!

"I think you have a little impression of the name Catherine, Mrs. Nolan." Mycroft was not bothered by Victoria's aura at all.He leaned back in his seat and said to Victoria in a relaxed manner: "During this year's review, we discovered some things about your past. I think we can find time to talk..."

······

Soon, Catherine, who was extremely poor and bored in the ward, welcomed her second visitor of the day.Not surprisingly, the person who came was a 'fat man'.

On the day when Keynes was slaughtered by others, Catherine flashed through her mind and recalled many things she had missed.If not being able to give William a pension is the first major event, not being able to have a face-to-face brainstorm with the person who hunted down the thief from the T family last time is the second most regrettable thing.

Catherine thinks about it now, in fact, she had already met Mycroft when she was in France.What was Mycroft's alias back then...it must have been Mike!

Catherine did not know McCulloft at the time, but she did know the French official sitting across from him.

Looking back at that time now, Mycroft was indeed texting.

——Ten out of ten, he was the one who 'played' with himself all morning.

It was a little secret, and Catherine wasn't going to tell Mycroft.And even if Mycroft had basic deduction, in ten lifetimes he wouldn't be able to count that Catherine saw him in the Tigger doll.

Catherine felt relieved for a while—so far, that incident was just an insignificant episode, with no practical significance.

Catherine looked at Mycroft anxiously—the well-crafted three-piece suit, the polished handmade leather shoes, and a small black umbrella.These three iconic things were squeezed into Catherine's ward in no particular order, and Catherine's eyes hurt from Mycroft's politician-like smirk.

Mycroft held a carnation in his other hand.Pink flowers are one of the three things Catherine hates the most, and they are basically a reflection of her childhood shadow.

But no matter how much she frowned in her heart, Catherine still said, "Thank you for the flowers, they are very beautiful."

"I picked this from a colleague's back garden. Its owner is very generous, and she also hopes to use this bouquet of flowers to send a little blessing to the innocent suffering wizard."

"It sounds like she wants me to die forever." Catherine guessed who Mycroft was talking about.In the childhood when Catherine was not abandoned, there was a large field of carnations behind the villa where Catherine lived.

—Carnations are a typical July flower, and it's almost November now.Mycroft's hint was too obvious.

"It doesn't mean that, it's just a simple greeting." Mycroft watched Catherine from lying flat to sitting on the side of the bed, and confirmed that Catherine had understood what he implied.Greetings from Victoria, Catherine was raised by Victoria's side for four years before she was sent away by Victoria... Catherine is a rather strange goldfish, it's hard to see whether she has any awareness of what happened in her childhood.
