[Comprehensive] Aunt sweeping the floor

Mycroft hung the little black umbrella beside Catherine's bedside table. Watching his movements, Catherine was ready for a long-term struggle.

Mycroft is wearing a dark gray business suit today. The pattern on the tie is a coherent water anchor pattern, and the neat Windsor knot adds a lot to the overall costume. ——Mycroft must have just attended some meeting, or had a phone call with someone of high authority.

He should be busy with something recently, perhaps an international dispute, or some huge hidden conspiracy.Catherine's eyes shifted to Mycroft's finger—a month ago.His hands are still slightly fleshy, but looking at them now, they have become slender and beautiful.He wears a ring on his left ring finger.

The ring finger symbolizes marriage.

"I came to you to discuss the identity issue with you." Mycroft said straight to the point.

"I am an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by William. After living together for three years, I was sent to France by William. There is nothing to say about this." Catherine stared at McColloft's thin lips.Her fingers gripped the sheet hard.As long as a word related to her life experience is popping from Mycroft's lips.Catherine would interrupt him immediately!

Fortunately... Mycocroft did not continue to chase this problem.He nodded and said: "That's right, these can be seen from your file. You have rich part-time job experience, textbook-like rebellious deeds, and these brilliant deeds have left a trace in your file to some extent." Pen... you once got a month of community service for vandalism."

"That's graffiti art! I'm actually beautifying the cityscape. That wall is too monotonous, and I need to add some color." Regardless of her background, Catherine is still very talkative.

——That time, Catherine was helping a friend of hers to clean up the mess.As a well-known public figure in France, graffiti paintings with bad themes in public places, and urinating in the corner, will have a serious impact on reputation.

Catherine cleaned up the probe footage from the day, and then she took a paint bucket to repaint the walls back to monochrome, but was caught and unfortunately sued.

Who told Catherine to mistakenly paint the beige wall into sky blue... But that's just because the paint of the same color can't be bought for a while, okay?

"Participated in gambling in the game hall as a minor and smashed two game consoles."

"I did not participate in gambling. Mr. Holmes, I also compensated the related expenses afterwards, please don't exaggerate!"

——Well...Katherine was cleaning the game room that day.Someone invited her to play Tetris. As soon as her hands were itchy, she played a few rounds on the computer.Who knew that the opponent couldn't afford to lose so much and smashed the game console.After smashing, he ran away, and this sum was also recorded on Catherine's head.

Since the owner of the Internet cafe is an acquaintance of Catherine and owed a lot to Catherine in the past, Catherine has not paid the pen loss until now.Completion of the compensation on the file is just a way of saying that the case is closed.

"Stealing brushes □□ was caught on the spot, and the school ordered him to drop out of school."

"If you really read the documents carefully, you will find that because I made up for my mistakes and assisted the police in solving the case, my student status was retained." Catherine still couldn't help but rolled her eyes openly.

——It is very simple to read Catherine's file.But digging deeper, the information related to Catherine can be coded from the ground to the calf height.

Catherine never worked more than ten days at a fixed place.She has worked in too many positions, most of which are in the service industry, and the general characteristics are daily wages and large turnover of employees.It took a long time for Mycroft's agents to sort this out.

"Your resume is of course up to you to explain." Mycroft didn't seem to notice the impatience on Catherine's expression at all.He changed the subject and said something else: "There is a black bar in the West End. This is the focus of mi6. I have seen your file and you have alcohol dependence. So this is just a reminder, I hope you don't By mistake."

"I... will pay attention." Catherine accepted Mycroft's warning.

Mycroft continued to keep an eye on Moriarty's influence.In politics, balance is far more important than maintaining clarity.Moriarty's influence in London was enormous, but it never went beyond the government's control.

This involved some high-level members of the parliament. If there were no major changes, Mycroft would not completely clean up Moriarty's roots.

The dismantling of the case between the only consulting detective in the world and the unique consulting crime in the world is more like a microcosm of high-level political games.

Mycroft took the place Watson had taken.Compared with Watson's more homely sitting posture, this man can make a small wooden stool feel like a throne. Sitting on an ordinary small stool will not damage his aura at all.

"Okay, let's talk about this time." Mycroft changed the subject: "In the process of helping you recover from the wound, we consulted the Ministry of Magic. The blood tonic and healing potions are used On you. It's important to you."

"If it's the bill you want, you don't need to show up in person, right? Isn't there Cynthia who can take care of all the chores?"

"No, no, Miss Nolan, maybe you don't know your current situation—now the wizarding world and our government are paying attention to your problem. How do wizards protect themselves? How does the government ensure the safety of ordinary people? Proper defense Metrics were put on the secret agenda, and what happened to you has put them on the agenda again."

"Then I'm a well-known figure in your inner circle now?"

"Your status in the secret council is second only to Harry Potter in the wizarding world. I think many people may not know the name of the Minister of Magic, but they must remember your name." Mycroft opened a joke.

"Yes, that's right. A wizard kidnapped by Muggles is a disgrace to the wizarding world. I think I probably have the hope of being included in the wizard's textbook... and as a person who did not learn magic and caused disasters." Negative textbook." Catherine felt more and more that this was a possibility.

"Therefore, in the next time, you may have to attend some meetings, which will affect your life to some extent. As compensation... I will arrange for you to study in a university."

Mycroft is a staging post, he's a spymaster, and he's a knife that cuts through everything.But he is definitely not a philanthropist.

Catherine was caught off guard by Mycroft's sudden generosity.

Catherine asked tremblingly: "I assume that you encountered something particularly happy today? Why did you pay attention to my study?"

In fact, what Catherine wanted to ask more was, which university was arranged by Mycroft?Is it a tuition fee waiver?Does she still need a work-study program?Did Mycroft not need her to watch over Sherlock?Is it because there will be no wages in the next month? ! !

Mycroft did not specifically answer Catherine's question.He just said: "You report when the time comes, and Cynthia will arrange everything for you."

The scene in the warehouse a month ago seems to have been reproduced.Mycroft just needs to say 'Let Cynthia arrange it' and get away easily.

"If you want me, a wizard, to stand on the Muggle's side? Then this little favor from you is really not enough!"

The relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government has always been relatively smooth, with no absolute overwhelming advantage.Mycroft needed Catherine's position not because she was some big shot.It's just because she is the key person who triggered this issue.

It's as if it was an assassination of the Grand Duke that ignited the powder kegs in the Balkans.Catherine had the honor of being the subject of the Second Wizarding Muggle Discussion.

"I don't need you to stand on my side." Mycroft denied Catherine's statement: "You have to remember that I don't have a stand."

The Holmes family is loyal to this country, not to any personal organization.

Catherine was about to say something.Her phone vibrated again.When Catherine turned on the screen to read the information first, McCoff waited patiently.

——someone charged Catherine's mobile phone with credit.Catherine's inbox was filled again within minutes.

'Trading time is set for nine in the evening in three days' time, see you at the pub - Rattlesnakes. '

——It is estimated that the people in the black bar are also quite depressed.Called the trader's mobile phone number, only to find that the other party's mobile phone had been shut down due to arrears.If you want to pretend to be aggressive, you have to recharge your phone bill first!

If you charge too little money, it will look shabby, and if you charge too much, it will be meaningless.

After finally recharging, I found that the other party had opened a voicemail box, and the plan to pretend to be aggressive had failed across the board, and my frustration was beyond words.

'I'll be there on time. ——k.n' Catherine quickly typed such a line on the keypad.

"You think you need to change your mobile phone. This is the information age. As a wizard, you are a little outdated." Wait for Catherine to put down the mobile phone.The topic changed again.Mycroft seems to be comfortable with this kind of starry-eyed dialogue.Communicating with Catherine is like finding countless threads in a mess of threads.Catherine will complete the follow-up matters by herself.

"I'm not very used to high-tech things, retro things are more worthy of favor. I also rarely use computers and other things, and those are not very meaningful." Catherine deleted all other text messages before looking up and saying: " Of course, I still use the computer if I really have to."

"I can give you a mobile phone to facilitate subsequent contact. Cynthia will recharge your phone bill regularly." Mycroft made a fortune.

A turning point for Catherine in the matter of wizards.From the time she arrived in London, she was in trouble.The word luck alone cannot explain everything that happened to her.A more accurate description should be that she lacks her own influence.

There will always be many difficulties in away games, but the problem she faces is that the water in London is too turbid, many forces are crushing and strife, great masters gather to sit, and even the gray areas are contracted by Moriarty. There is no place for criminals to survive!

"You don't need your phone." Catherine refused again.She picked up the water Watson poured from the bedside, took a sip, and said calmly, "I think Oxford is a very good place."

Catherine finally accepted the olive branch from Mycroft.

When saying goodbye, the British government left Catherine with a dozen documents.Help Catherine get acquainted with the many recent events in London.

"You can be discharged from the hospital, Miss Nolan. I have reserved a table in a high-end restaurant, and the address will be sent to your mobile phone later."
