[Shenxia Tongren] My dear brothers and adults

Pushing open the heavy oak door, stepping into the spacious and dark foyer, Hypatia's eyes slid over the furnishings in the house: the beams blackened by smoke and fire, the oil paintings on the walls with glass covers, and the shadows cast from the skylights. The bright and fine sunlight.It wasn't until seeing the unlit fireplace that Hypatia came back to her senses, fulfilled her obligation as a hostess, and said to Mr. Steward, "Light the fireplace."

"Ma'am, there's no need for a fireplace tradition in May."

"That's because the icebergs in the North Pole haven't melted, and the cold current hasn't intensified. Let's light up the fireplace." Then, Hypatia turned around and said to the guests: "Hello, welcome to Sherlock Holmes Manor. Yours The room is already packed, do you need to go now?"

"Okay, thank you." Both guests nodded.

"Please follow me." Hypatia led the way. Her two elder brothers were introducing everything about the manor to their friends. They went straight to the west wing of the second floor. There were several rooms distributed along the long corridor. Hypatia opened "This is your room, Mr. Lestrade. Mycroft is sleeping next to you," said the door of the room nearest the stairs, leaving Lestrade and Mycroft Going to tidy up the room, he led Watson and Sherlock into the depths of the corridor.

When she reached the last room, she opened the door again and said, "Dr. Watson, this is your room, and Sherlock is sleeping next to you." Then she handed over the rest of the hospitality to Sherlock himself Yes, she believed Sherlock would be happy to entertain Dr. Watson.

She returned to her room, and when she opened the door, she saw a big yellow cat with spots lying on her bed, she used to skillfully scratched its chin, and said, "My dearest, so you are here? Did Mr. Housekeeper let you in? Looks like it is." As she spoke, she lay on the big cat's body and slowly took off the stockings from her thighs, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face, and came out to see Seeing the big cat licking its paws, he walked to the window and saw the flat and vast grass downstairs. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How about we go for a run?"

After saying that, she changed into her riding clothes, and sneaked to the stable behind the house with the big cat, and led a horse to gallop.

At the same time that Hypatia took her big cat to the horse race, the two guests who came to Holmes Manor for the first time also began to arrange their own salutes.When Inspector Lestrade entered the room, he found that the salute was already placed beside the bed. He took out a towel and went to the bathroom to wash his face. When he came out, he saw Mycroft wearing a purple dressing gown Sitting on the couch with a beagle harrier in his arms.

Lestrade said: "Mycroft, is this your dog?"

"Yes, his name is Sherlock. Come and pet him."

"I suppose, Sherlock, your brother doesn't have a puppy named Mycroft?"

"How is it possible? He can't even support himself, how can he keep a pet? Will he give him extra meals someday?"

"..." Lestrade stepped forward to touch the drooping ears of the Sherlock dog without a word, and said, "He looks so cute. I thought you would be raising a large dog, after all, your house is such a big place. "

“I got a Beagle as a birthday present when I was 14 years old. After it passed away, I got a new one. It's a new one."

"Understood. This is really a good dog." Lestrade said seeing the Sherlock dog obediently turning over and tickling himself.

"Yes, if one day Sherlock treats me one-tenth as much as he does, I will wake up laughing from my dreams."

Lestrade could only comfort him: "It seems to be much better than before, isn't it?"

"Perhaps," said Mycroft, and suddenly they heard the neighing of a galloping horse, and Mycroft stood up and went to the window to look down, and saw Hypatia galloping in the setting sun.

Lestrade walked to the side, saw this scene, and said, "It seems that your sister has completely recovered."

"My sister has a heart of diamonds," Mycroft smiled proudly.

"Yes, by the way, what happened when you came back? Is it related to Moriarty? Does Scotland Yard need to be involved?"

Upon hearing this, Mycroft looked back at Lestrade and said, "You're sensitive."

"That's because I know you so well. We've known each other for five years. You take fewer vacations than I do. You can be called a workaholic."

"I'm not a workaholic, well, a little bit, I just like to sort out disordered things into order." Mycroft originally wanted to deny it, but seeing Lestrade's skeptical look, he could only Changed his words.

"Go on, what's the matter?"

"We don't need Scotland Yard's participation for now, let's see what happens in the future." Mycroft frowned and thought.

And in Watson's room at the other end of the corridor, Watson, who also went to wash up, came out and saw Sherlock lying on the bed stretched out.

"What plane are you doing here? This is my room," Watson said.

"I'm not used to that bed."

"You said you're not used to your own bed?"

"Well, you're not used to it."

"If you haven't turned 8, go hug a teddy bear."

"do not you?"

"What? f...k"

"You just said 'f··k', who? Me?"

"Shrimp? What I just did was just... Forget it, I'll go out and get some fresh air." Watson left Sherlock and went for a walk, keeping the depressed curly hair in the house.

Watson, who ran outside the house for a walk, happened to run into Hypatia, who was returning from a horse race with the big cat. He took a step forward, and was thrown to the spot by the big cat raised by Hypatia.

Hypatia quickly dismounted, trotted over and said, "Katie, come down, be good, don't bite, that's a guest."

Watson suddenly regretted wandering around the mansion surnamed Sherlock Holmes without Sherlock, struggled away, looked at the big cat who was comforted by Hypatia and walked away obediently. Asked: "Hypatia, is this a leopard?"

"No, this is a lynx. Her name is Katie, isn't she cute?" Hypatia said while raising Katie's meaty paw to greet Watson.

"It's very cute. I suddenly remembered that I have something to say to Sherlock. Let's go first." Watson said, and turned to leave, thinking that next time I should bring my pistol.Moreover, one house cannot accommodate two cats, how did their family keep two cats at the same time? ?

Hypatia held the big cat in place, looked at Watson's back in the distance, and wanted to explain, in fact, my lynx grew up eating cooked food since childhood.

During dinner, Hypatia sat in the hostess' seat, and Mycroft said as the hostess: "My mother is far away in a foreign country, so only my sister and I are here to entertain the two of you."

Watson watched the Fu family eating boiled beans in an extremely elegant and standard manner, even Sherlock was the same, and couldn't help saying; "I almost thought I was going to change into formal clothes for dinner."

Hypatia laughed when she heard this sentence: "Have you brought formal clothes?"

"Bring it."

"Well, we can hold it tomorrow."

Hearing this, Sherlock looked at Watson reproachfully and said, "John, you have more than doubled the complexity of our dinner tomorrow night."

"Don't say that, Sherlock, we're being rude today."

"Looking at these eerie portraits every day, I'm almost suffocating, and I have to put on formal clothes and eat like a stage play? I won't be able to eat."

"Haven't you always hated to eat?" Hypatia retorted.

"Hmph." Sherlock dropped the spoon and picked up a piece of bread and said, "I'm full, you guys continue." He turned and left.

"Sherlock, God, he's always been like this, never mind," said Hypatia.

"He lasted 10 minutes longer than last time," Mycroft said.

"Congratulations, it's a huge improvement."

Watson and Lestrade looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only bury their heads in pain.
