Sherlock and the others returned to the hotel, had supper, and when they were about to go to bed, the impetuous Mrs. Gold called Sherlock and asked how the situation was going.After listening to a few words, Sherlock handed the phone directly to Watson, and went to take a shower and change into pajamas.

Watson thought about it and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Gold, it's very likely that your husband really committed suicide."

"No, how could this be?" Mrs. Gold burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, but there is nothing Mr. Holmes can do."

"No, aren't you willing to help me?"

"We're just telling the truth."

"No, no, Douglas loves me so much he won't leave me alone..."

After hearing this sentence, Dr. Watson couldn't help but smiled wryly, and comforted him even more gently: "I'm sorry, but the deceased has passed away, and cherishing himself is the greatest comfort to him. Madam, please be patient and don't mourn too much."

"No, no, you don't want to help me anymore." Then she hung up the phone.

"Mrs. Gould, Mrs. Gould..." Watson yelled a few times but didn't respond, so he had to forget it, and saw that Sherlock had come out of the bath and crawled into the bed, rolling the quilt into a cylinder , looks a bit like his favorite Chinese spring rolls.Seeing this, Dr. Watson smiled and went to take a bath too.

The next day, after they had breakfast in bed, Dr. Watson leaned on the bed and watched TV, while Sherlock was still curled up in the bed, maybe in a daze, maybe sleeping, and occasionally stretched out his hand to poke Watson's stomach.When Watson asked him what was the matter, he said nothing.This, for the time being, Dr. Watson has largely regarded this as a hobby, and if he does it a few more times, he will naturally overwhelm it decisively.

But when he saw the news, Dr. Watson's face became more solemn the more he watched, and he reached out to shake the half-awake Sherlock awake, and said, "Sherlock, watch the news on TV."

"What's the matter?" Sherlock said vaguely, then straightened up to look at the TV screen.

A piece of news was playing on the screen, and Mrs. Gold was saying tearfully: "You all say my husband committed suicide. I believe he would not do it. He is definitely not a coward. The well-known consulting detective Mr. Sherlock Holmes is here to investigate this case. I believe that with Mr. Holmes' talent, my husband's grievances will soon come to light..." There will be an introduction to Mr. Gold's life, as well as Sherlock introduction and so on.

After reading the news, Sherlock laughed back in anger, showing a sinister smile and said, "Is this threatening me?"

When Watson saw such a smile, he was secretly surprised. He thought that he and Mycroft were indeed biological brothers, and the way they laughed when stimulated was so similar, he said, "Are you angry? We can't Take this case."

"How come? Of course I will pick it up, and I will do my best." Sherlock replied with a smile on his face.

In fact, even Watson, who is usually mild-tempered, was very angry after reading this news. This is to use public opinion to coerce Sherlock to accept this case and handle it well, otherwise, his reputation will be ruined. Mrs. Gould It's really hard to do things.

At this moment, the phone in the room rang, and Sherlock said, "John, we're here."

"Ok?"

"The reporters are here, you answer the phone, I'll change clothes, I'm very interested in talking to them downstairs."

"?!" Sherlock wouldn't be so excited, would he?Sherlock, who has always hated reporters and the media, is willing to contact them? !Watson thought, and answered the phone resignedly. Sure enough, the front desk staff said that there were a bunch of reporters behind him, and he had to think about how to get out now. He said, "I see, let's go like this, Holmes Sir would be happy to have a word with them in the lobby downstairs."

"Yes, Mr. Watson. We will arrange it."

"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Watson also began to change his clothes.

Downstairs, although Sherlock was still a bit rebellious and alienated, he still stood quietly behind the microphone and said, "I have learned something about this case. Mr. Gold had a homosexual before his death, but this homosexual has already passed away." It has been many years since he passed away, but Mr. Gold is a long-lasting lover, in order to commemorate his lover, he specially collected a lot of nude photos of teenagers with similar physical features as his lover."

As soon as the voice fell, the room was silent. The reporters present were quiet for a few seconds, and then broke out with greater enthusiasm, asking for more details, but Sherlock was too lazy to say anything, and turned around to leave. Watson Hurry up and follow.

At this moment, a petite figure squeezed into the reporters' surroundings, walked towards Sherlock, and shouted as he worked hard, "I am Annigold, Sherlock Holmes, stop! You cannot frame My husband's innocence..."

Sherlock seemed to have heard something, stopped and looked back, and then continued to leave without hesitation.

Coming out of the back door of the hotel, Sherlock and Watson laughed at each other. Before they were forced to hide in the hotel by the media for so many days, they couldn't be angry. Now that they have used the media once, their anger has subsided a little.And the depressed heart played by Annigold also felt much happier.She wanted Sherlock to have no face, but Sherlock directly disfigured her, it was extremely fun!

"Sherlock, where are we going now?"

"Where can't we go? We wandered downtown until noon, and then the reporters should have left. Besides, I paid $500 for the lady at the front desk to keep an eye on us."

The two of them had only walked less than 500 meters when Sherlock received a call and said, "Hello, is this Mr. Sherlock Holmes? We have something to ask you."

"Who are you?" Sherlock said as he turned into a small cafe with Watson and sat down in a corner.

"I'm legal counsel for the Department of Homeland Security."

"Oh?"

"That's right. Recently, one of our subordinates also committed suicide for unknown reasons. I would like you to participate in the investigation."

"A member of the military?"

"Not exactly, he can only be regarded as an employee of this bureau."

"For an employee, the legal counsel of the Department of Homeland Security actually called me? Is Mycroft and your personal relationship already so good?"

"Well, although there are some doubts about this case, our personnel can still investigate it. We are looking for you more to cover up people's eyes and ears."

"I don't have the habit of covering up for others. Goodbye." Sherlock hung up the phone after speaking, then put the phone on the table, and said happily: "John, what do you want to eat? Just order! I will pay the bill today!"

Dr. Watson looked at the menu silently and thought, not even beer is served here, except cake or cake, what do you want me to eat?And we have only had breakfast for less than 2 hours, can we eat cake here until noon?

Sherlock didn't even look at the menu, but looked at the phone and counted, "1, 2, 3, 4..." When he counted to 10, the phone rang again, and Sherlock continued to count until he reached 15 When he answered the phone, he said, "Hello?"

"Mr. Holmes, we really need your help in this case. Please look at the relationship between the United States and Britain, as well as the friendship between Brother Ling and me..."

"Ha, ha, ha!" Sherlock laughed dryly three times, and then said: "I never knew I was so important?! Give me the file, drive away the reporters surrounding my hotel, and meet my request .”

"Okay, Mr. Holmes, as long as it is a reasonable request, we will meet it."

"It's up to me to decide whether it's reasonable or not, so be it."

"Well, I will ask someone to bring the file before two o'clock in the afternoon. There is one more thing. In order to avoid the leakage of the file, we will arrange security at the hotel where you are staying."

"You want to spy on me?"

"It's protection."

"Whatever you want." Sherlock was used to being watched, and his brother's symptoms of control freak had reached the terminal stage.

The other party wanted to say a few more words, but Sherlock hung up the phone neatly, and said to Watson: "How can someone be so stupid? I only now know why Mycroft can control the intelligence of the two countries." It's not that our army is too strong, but that the enemy army is too idiotic."

Dr. Watson was silent for a while and said, "Sherlock, is there a new case?"

"It cannot be said that it is a new case. It is also a suicide for unknown reasons."

"Poor American."

"Don't pity them, there is good news, we can go back soon, and we don't need to worry about being surrounded by reporters."

"Great."

"Then let's settle the bill."

"... Sherlock, we have nothing to order."

"...Then let's go."

When Sherlock was besieged by reporters and ran out of the hotel early in the morning, Moriarty, who was lying on the hospital bed doing nothing, was also watching TV. He was used to watching and commenting at the same time, but Hypatia was already too tired to lean on the TV. He fell asleep on his body, so he had no motivation to comment and just watched TV quietly.

Until he saw a piece of news that Sherlock actually appeared on the screen? !He used to cover his head even for photos.He hastily tugged on Rahipatia's sleeve.Hypatia looked up confusedly and said, "What's wrong?"

"Your brother is actually on TV."

"Which one is my brother? Mycroft? Although the possibility is rare, he will occasionally appear on TV as an important member of the Ministry of Transportation." Hypatia seemed to have not woken up, and said in a daze.

"It's not him, it's Sherlock."

"What?!" Hypatia suddenly came to his senses. Did he get into trouble beyond the UK and go global?
