Dr. Warren is a little busy
Chapter 23
The mayor of London died in an explosion on the street in front of St. Bartholomew's Hospital a few days ago. The yellow cordon that the police set up for this case has not been dismantled, and this place has once again become an important issue. crime scene.
The two Warren brothers and sisters stood peacefully among a group of policemen and passing crowds, seeing Sherlock and a man with a scar on his face appear on the rooftop where Moriarty died and Sherlock fell, And John and Molly are still missing.
Holt frowned solemnly for a moment, and whispered to Ashe, "I should have brought the gun if I knew it earlier. You can't aim at the target at such a long distance with the gun."
"Is it okay to use something else?"
Ashe didn't quite believe that her idiot brother still had such powerful skills.
Holt shrugged and said: "I'm not good at shooting, but in this case, as long as you climb to the next building, the possibility of hitting the target is very high. After all, they are busy killing each other, probably not I will notice that there will be snipers aiming at me near here. But I don’t need to worry about everything today, I am only responsible for protecting you.”
Ashe heard him say these words so casually, she felt very complicated in her heart.She hasn't enjoyed family affection for a long time, and she doesn't know how to rely on someone without any scruples.She knew that Holt's guilt and love for her were genuine, but she couldn't help recalling the funeral of her parents and him 17 years ago.
Ai Xi really wanted to ask him, will you really never leave me again, but she couldn't say it no matter what.
Ashe knows all the reasons to persuade others, and she also knows that her crux lies in the strong stimulation of the sudden incident many years ago, and the overcaution caused by the lack of security in the past ten years, but she just can't save her own heart.Physicians do not heal themselves.
Ashe glanced at Holt, who was staring closely at the opposing sides on the roof, with a serious expression on his face, and he couldn't see the usual casual and stupid look at all.Ashe also forced herself to let go of those irrelevant and inexplicable emotions, and return to the matter in front of her.
Sherlock Holmes is a consulting detective, and while he's used his superior IQ and extensive knowledge to solve a number of mysterious cases, Ashe doesn't think he can take down a vengeful professional criminal with his bare hands.However, at such a long distance, Ashe couldn't do anything, she could only pray in her heart to God to give the detective another miracle.
But the tense confrontation lasted only a few minutes. No one knew what the detective and the criminal on the rooftop said, and why the detective suddenly fell down, but the criminal Moran also suddenly stiffened, and fell backwards. Falling down, he disappeared from everyone's field of vision amidst an exclamation.
Inspector Lestrade immediately rushed into the hospital building with a group of policemen, and then Moran was carried out, and was sent to the emergency department in the next building together with the unconscious Molly Hope and John Watson.Soon the calm Sherlock also came out with the police, and Inspector Lestrade personally gave him a bright orange blanket.
Ashe felt that her major was about to come in handy, she walked through the yellow cordon to the detective, and asked cautiously, "Sherlock, are you okay?"
Sherlock looked up at Ashe, did not answer her question, but asked her: "Who is that man in the black suit and glasses?"
Ashe glanced back at Holt who was staring at her, and didn't intend to talk more about her housework, so she changed the subject with a smile and said, "It seems that this case has been completely resolved."
Sherlock curled up his mouth and smiled, and he replied in a deep and pleasant voice: "It seems that it is not a boyfriend, but a relative? A friend? Also, I remember you said that you will tell me that you care about this matter after the matter is resolved." reason. I hate the unknown."
Ashe had indeed said this, she would not suddenly regret it when things came to an end, but she would not say it on occasions with many individuals.Telling a secret that needs to be kept well hidden requires timing.
"I don't think it's a good time to be talking about this topic."
Anyway, the Winter Soldier is already planning to join the Avengers, so there is not much time before he leaves the UK.After he left England, even if Ashe told Sherlock that her purpose was only to clear the suspicion of the Winter Soldier, it would not cause any problems, and this reason would not necessarily be believed.
Who would have believed that an ordinary British woman like her would have such a good relationship with the feared Russian killer Winter Soldier?And there must be many more important secrets kept in Sherlock's mind, this is just a trivial matter to him.
"What I want to know most now is not why you care about this." Sherlock looked at Ashe with probing eyes, "Doctor Warren, you know something that I don't, right? But It's a pity you didn't intend to tell me. But it's fun, and I like puzzles."
Ashe looked at the smile on the detective's face, and had a bad premonition in her heart.
Ashe touched her cheek, thinking, how could she be so easily seen through?
Sherlock's mood has not stabilized, and Ashe is a little worried about the detective who has just gone through a thrilling few days.
Ashe took the initiative to change the subject, and said to Sherlock who kept staring at Holt: "That's my brother, I can guarantee that he is not involved in this matter."
"You said that all your relatives have passed away. Why did you suddenly have a brother who looked like a well-trained agent? Did he tell you his identity and job?" Sherlock looked at Ashe casually. With a glance, "And your brother was obviously in the suburbs dozens of miles away a few hours ago, he must have had no time to help you deal with the group of attackers who came to your door. So you brought down four well-trained villains yourself? Or, there is another dangerous person in your family who is agile and good at fighting?"
Ashe didn't know how to answer, she was very curious about how Sherlock's brain worked.She decided to tell the truth as much as possible, anyway, even a lie would be spotted by this venomous-eyed Mr. Detective.
"In fact, until yesterday, I thought my brother was dead. But God forbid, he is not dead. As for his identity and job, he has told me, but I can't say, there is something I hope you understand the part that needs to be kept secret. But I can assure you that he is not a spy or an agent."
Sherlock nodded and said, "Oh, I see. If it's not an agent, then it's the kind of freak who works for the agents, who often tinkers with mechanical guns and is good at free combat. What about the dangerous people who live in your house? "
Ashe didn't quite understand how Sherlock knew so much, but she replied honestly, "There is indeed a temporary resident in my house, and he is also the reason I entrusted you to investigate the original shooting case. For the time being, I can only Say so much."
Sherlock took out his mobile phone, pressed it a few times and said: "I see, thank you for confirming my unrealistic guess. I always think that after all the wrong answers are eliminated, the remaining answers even if you look at them It sounds unbelievable, but it must be the ultimate truth. That's a real danger, Dr. Warren, and I have to begin to wonder if I'm right about you."
Ai Xi didn't want to discuss too much about these issues that should not be revealed. She changed the subject abruptly and said, "Why did you suddenly fall down on the roof just now? I thought you were hit."
Sherlock regained his bored expression, and said impatiently: "Because the light reflected from the gun's scope is extremely dazzling, only that idiot Moran couldn't notice it."
Ashe saw Inspector Lestrade walking towards them, she stood up and said goodbye to Sherlock: "I think the Inspector has a lot of questions for you. I should go, my brother is still here." wait for me."
"Don't listen to your elder brother. They often have an endless desire to control because of how old they are. Believe me, I have a very good say in this regard."
"This sounds like a kind reminder." Ashe saw the increasingly awkward expression on the detective's face, she couldn't hold back her smile, "I agree with your suggestion, God knows that guy even called me a little princess , and I'm already 25 years old. Thank God for separating us for 17 years, otherwise I would have grown into a giant baby with no ability to take care of myself."
Sherlock tilted his head at Ashe noncommittally, and then said to Inspector Lestrade who had just walked over: "He can't die, don't worry, the bullet hit his heart, I promise you he will die tomorrow." can wake up and tell you everything you need to know. What you should be doing now is calling Mycroft to report that the British government is safe again, not come and harass me who just fought death. The orange line Where's the ugly blanket? Here I need it, I'm scared."
After Ashe gave the stunned Inspector Lestrade a cheering look, she quickly fled from the scene where the big detective lost his temper.
Ashe sat in the co-pilot and handed over the driving task to Holt.He seemed in a good mood, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears, and Ashe was relieved that things were over.
"What are you happy about? Because the case is solved?"
"I was really relieved that the case was solved, and I have to say that Eggsy shot was brilliant. But, sweet little princess, isn't it enough that I just found you? I swear, this is my 17 One of the happiest things I’ve encountered in years.”
Holt gave Ashe a goofy smile before turning his head to look the way.
Ashe's feelings about the "brother and sister reunion" are much more complicated than that of Holt who is simply happy.It should be a pleasant surprise to find it again, but Ashe is worried that one day she will have to endure the pain of loss again.She knew there was no logic to her worry, but she couldn't help herself.
"You didn't even ask about my abilities. I mean, I'm a mutant."
Holt moved his hand on the steering wheel, and then he said, "That doesn't matter, even if you can kill a cow with one hand, you are still my little sister. But you can tell me, I really want to know How cool is my sister?"
Ashe could see the expectation that Holt suppressed under the usual expression, sighed, feeling a little depressed.
"I can't strangle a cow with one hand. In fact, my physical ability is no different from that of a normal person. My ability is to control other people's emotions, such as making you happy, angry, or sad, whatever, but it's limited to that. Although Professor Xavier said that my talent is not limited to this, but that I suppressed myself too much, but I feel that there is only so much I can do.”
"This is really..." Holt's eyes widened, as if he had heard something earth-shattering, "This can't be limited to this, my little princess. It's amazing! I've never seen anything bigger than this, my little princess. It's a more practical superpower! I mean you can do a lot of things with it, like you can shut up a crying kid for a second."
Ashe laughed at Holt's exaggeration.Holt is so out of touch that he doesn't look like a 30-year-old man. He seems to have stopped in his teens and never grown up.
"You're right, it's useful, but only in everyday life. I couldn't be of much help when Magneto tried to topple a bridge. But I used it to become a counselor, not exactly Famous in London, but would you like a card of Dr Warren, dear Mr Warren?"
Holt said solemnly: "My honor, Dr. Warren."
Ashe tucked her business card into Holt's suit jacket pocket and said, "I think you should go back. You've been out of work for hours. You can call me after get off work, or you can call me when you're free." It's time to invite me to your house for dinner."
"Honey, I'm your brother, not the one you fell in love with at first sight. You could have just moved in with me instead of acting like we're a long-distance couple who only date on weekends. And today is my day to find my little one." The first day of the princess, I think my boss will be kind enough to give me a day off."
Ashe said helplessly to Holt: "Well, it seems that I have to make lunch for one more person. Also, you know that I have guests at home, so it is impossible to move in with you. And are you sure You live in a better place than mine? You know, Hill Street is only ten minutes away from Hyde Park, and I like Hyde Park."
"Actually, I live farther from Hyde Park than Hill Street, but it's the No.15th floor of a [-]-story apartment building. Maybe you want to try high-rise apartment living?"
"I'll think about it." Ashe said while thinking, "I can use Hill Street as an office. In fact, I have already considered whether to rent an office. But you have to promise that I don't need to help you with housework. "
Holt smiled and said, "The only housework you need to do is to walk the dog. I have a golden retriever named Doudou, and you'll love him."
Ashe's eyes widened in surprise, she smiled happily and said to Holt, "Wow, that would be awesome, I think I'll move in with you someday, but before that I can Go visit Doudou. What brand of dog food does he like? What flavor of teething treats does he like? Oh, can I not wear perfume? Does he not like me?"
"He'll like you, honey, I promise."
Ashe and Holt returned home, changed their clothes and entered the kitchen.She had to make dinner quickly, after all, the busy morning had passed, and the time was approaching noon.
"It's time to go to the supermarket again. There is still a little beef and chicken breast in the refrigerator," Ashe stood in front of the refrigerator and looked through the available ingredients. "There are also eggs, tomatoes and potatoes. Fortunately, we still have potatoes. You want to eat what?"
Holt sat by the cabinet and said expectantly, "Anything is fine, I'm not picky."
Bucky remained silent as always. He rolled up his sleeves on his own initiative, took the vegetables that Ashe took out from the refrigerator one after another, and put them into the sink to rinse one by one. Ashe was handling the chicken while chatting with Bucky.
"The man behind the gang has been caught, and he was the one who planned the murders of the previous dignitaries. He's under the control of Scotland Yard, and I think the matter is over. Speaking of which, yours How's the injury? You didn't touch it while I was gone, did you?"
Bucky handed the washed tomato to Ashe, smiled at her, and said, "My recovery ability is very strong, so you don't have to worry."
"That's good. But for the sake of your wound, you still have to be careful not to move around or use excessive force."
Holt listened to the endless chatter of the two people in front of him, and felt that something was wrong. Why did he seem to be a superfluous person?
So he took the initiative to intervene and asked a question that abruptly changed the subject.
"Ash, how have you been all these years? Where did you go to school?"
"I was in the United States for a number of years at the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth in the suburbs of New York, where I lived from the age of eight. Then I went to New York University, where I did a BA in Psychology, and then at University College London. a master's degree in psychology. Why are you asking this out of the blue?"
"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to know how you've been doing these years. I've been living in London and I went to Oxford at university. You remember, my parents both graduated from Oxford, and my father had a biology degree at the time." What about the name of the professor?"
Accompanied by Holt's constant nagging, Ashe finally made lunch.Holt was finally quiet for a while during the meal, which made Ashe heave a sigh of relief.
But she couldn't relax for a few minutes, Holt's words almost made her drop the plate.
"Ash, tell me the truth, are you two really not in a relationship?"
Ashe was very surprised. She looked at Holt with a serious face and didn't seem to be joking. She didn't understand why he always thought this way.
She admitted that Bucky was good-looking enough, and his muscular body was amazing, but she never really thought about it.In fact, she never felt that she would fall in love with anyone, after all, she is a mutant, many people fear them, and some extremists even think they are monsters.
But thinking about it carefully, Bucky has lived at home for so many days, but she never felt that there was anything wrong with him.He has never talked much, and he always reads books or watches TV quietly in his spare time.He will take the initiative to help cook, never pick and choose when eating, and will take the initiative to wash the dishes after eating.After taking a shower every day, he would throw his clothes into the washing machine to wash and dry them, then fold them and put them back in the closet.Every time Ashe goes out, he will deliver it to the door, and when Ashe comes back, he will greet him at the door.And just hours before, he'd saved Ashe from a bunch of deranged criminals, and even gotten shot for it.
Ashe thought about it, and found that her ears were a little hot.Because of her status as a mutant, she always refuses to think about who she can fall in love with or even marry, but objectively speaking, she and Bucky have lived together as a couple for a long time.
But this is only a last resort.
Ashe forced herself to put down those absurd thoughts, unconsciously pawing at the food on the plate with her fork.
She looked up at Holt and said seriously: "We didn't. Brother, you think too much."
Holt didn't feel at all the relief after getting the answer he wanted.Why did he feel that his sister seemed to be shy?He turned to look at the bastard who wanted to take his sister, and realized that he was staring at Princess Ashe endlessly.
Oh bastard, take your eyes away!There is no gold in her face!
God, why, after mercifully returning his sister to him, should he be so cruel to witness her being cheated by a murderous and dangerous man in his 90s?
But fortunately, fortunately, he did not miss the wedding of the little princess, and fortunately, he was able to witness that his little princess became the most beautiful bride in the world.
"Baby, when you get married, I must hold you down the aisle!"
Ashe was bitter, she always felt that her lost brother was an idiot.
The two Warren brothers and sisters stood peacefully among a group of policemen and passing crowds, seeing Sherlock and a man with a scar on his face appear on the rooftop where Moriarty died and Sherlock fell, And John and Molly are still missing.
Holt frowned solemnly for a moment, and whispered to Ashe, "I should have brought the gun if I knew it earlier. You can't aim at the target at such a long distance with the gun."
"Is it okay to use something else?"

Ai Xi really wanted to ask him, will you really never leave me again, but she couldn't say it no matter what.
Ashe knows all the reasons to persuade others, and she also knows that her crux lies in the strong stimulation of the sudden incident many years ago, and the overcaution caused by the lack of security in the past ten years, but she just can't save her own heart.Physicians do not heal themselves.
Ashe glanced at Holt, who was staring closely at the opposing sides on the roof, with a serious expression on his face, and he couldn't see the usual casual and stupid look at all.Ashe also forced herself to let go of those irrelevant and inexplicable emotions, and return to the matter in front of her.

Ashe felt that her major was about to come in handy, she walked through the yellow cordon to the detective, and asked cautiously, "Sherlock, are you okay?"

Ashe glanced back at Holt who was staring at her, and didn't intend to talk more about her housework, so she changed the subject with a smile and said, "It seems that this case has been completely resolved."

Ashe had indeed said this, she would not suddenly regret it when things came to an end, but she would not say it on occasions with many individuals.Telling a secret that needs to be kept well hidden requires timing.
"I don't think it's a good time to be talking about this topic."
Anyway, the Winter Soldier is already planning to join the Avengers, so there is not much time before he leaves the UK.After he left England, even if Ashe told Sherlock that her purpose was only to clear the suspicion of the Winter Soldier, it would not cause any problems, and this reason would not necessarily be believed.

Ashe laughed at Holt's exaggeration.Holt is so out of touch that he doesn't look like a 30-year-old man. He seems to have stopped in his teens and never grown up.
"You're right, it's useful, but only in everyday life. I couldn't be of much help when Magneto tried to topple a bridge. But I used it to become a counselor, not exactly Famous in London, but would you like a card of Dr Warren, dear Mr Warren?"
Holt said solemnly: "My honor, Dr. Warren."

"It's time to go to the supermarket again. There is still a little beef and chicken breast in the refrigerator," Ashe stood in front of the refrigerator and looked through the available ingredients. "There are also eggs, tomatoes and potatoes. Fortunately, we still have potatoes. You want to eat what?"
Holt sat by the cabinet and said expectantly, "Anything is fine, I'm not picky."
Bucky remained silent as always. He rolled up his sleeves on his own initiative, took the vegetables that Ashe took out from the refrigerator one after another, and put them into the sink to rinse one by one. Ashe was handling the chicken while chatting with Bucky.

Bucky handed the washed tomato to Ashe, smiled at her, and said, "My recovery ability is very strong, so you don't have to worry."
"That's good. But for the sake of your wound, you still have to be careful not to move around or use excessive force."
Holt listened to the endless chatter of the two people in front of him, and felt that something was wrong. Why did he seem to be a superfluous person?

But she couldn't relax for a few minutes, Holt's words almost made her drop the plate.
"Ash, tell me the truth, are you two really not in a relationship?"
Ashe was very surprised. She looked at Holt with a serious face and didn't seem to be joking. She didn't understand why he always thought this way.
She admitted that Bucky was good-looking enough, and his muscular body was amazing, but she never really thought about it.In fact, she never felt that she would fall in love with anyone, after all, she is a mutant, many people fear them, and some extremists even think they are monsters.
But thinking about it carefully, Bucky has lived at home for so many days, but she never felt that there was anything wrong with him.He has never talked much, and he always reads books or watches TV quietly in his spare time.He will take the initiative to help cook, never pick and choose when eating, and will take the initiative to wash the dishes after eating.After taking a shower every day, he would throw his clothes into the washing machine to wash and dry them, then fold them and put them back in the closet.Every time Ashe goes out, he will deliver it to the door, and when Ashe comes back, he will greet him at the door.And just hours before, he'd saved Ashe from a bunch of deranged criminals, and even gotten shot for it.
Ashe thought about it, and found that her ears were a little hot.Because of her status as a mutant, she always refuses to think about who she can fall in love with or even marry, but objectively speaking, she and Bucky have lived together as a couple for a long time.
But this is only a last resort.
Ashe forced herself to put down those absurd thoughts, unconsciously pawing at the food on the plate with her fork.
She looked up at Holt and said seriously: "We didn't. Brother, you think too much."
Holt didn't feel at all the relief after getting the answer he wanted.Why did he feel that his sister seemed to be shy?He turned to look at the bastard who wanted to take his sister, and realized that he was staring at Princess Ashe endlessly.
Oh bastard, take your eyes away!There is no gold in her face!
God, why, after mercifully returning his sister to him, should he be so cruel to witness her being cheated by a murderous and dangerous man in his 90s?
But fortunately, fortunately, he did not miss the wedding of the little princess, and fortunately, he was able to witness that his little princess became the most beautiful bride in the world.
"Baby, when you get married, I must hold you down the aisle!"
Ashe was bitter, she always felt that her lost brother was an idiot.
