[sherlock] Sherlock's Ome

Chapter 30 Christmas Chapter

"Shelley blocked the bullet for me, otherwise that shot would have hit my heart." Sherlock didn't accept the cigarette, but just said to Mycroft sullenly.Although he was always at odds with his brother, he still wanted to be close to Mycroft in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be afraid of his brother's embarrassment when he was in Buckingham Palace, so he wouldn't have taken the case of Irene Adler.

Mycroft was silent for a while, and comforted: "Shelley will be fine, since the hit was on the right chest, far away from the heart and other internal organs, as long as the bullet is taken out."

Sherlock nodded: "I know it's okay, but I don't know why, as long as I think of her lying in my arms covered in blood, I can't help being afraid, even when I was pointed at by Moriarty's sniper, there was a big girl beside me I wasn't scared when I was packing the bomb... No, I was scared when I saw Shelley fall into the pool with a sniper in his arms, I..."

Mycroft put the cigarette into his mouth: "Sherlock, as I said, we don't need love."

Sherlock froze for a moment: "Love?"

"Of course," Mycroft made a sudden change, "It doesn't matter if it's Shelley, I think Mommy and Aunt Meng will be very happy to hear the news."

"Mycroft, you mean?" Sherlock's expression was tangled, he seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.

"Yes, my silly brother, I said that you still object to your sexual tension, then I have to say that you are not even as mentally retarded in love."

"But I'll also be thinking about Irene Adler," Sherlock retorted.

"That's because your life was so smooth before. The biggest setback you experienced was that the Scotland Yard police didn't allow you to enter the scene of the crime, right? This time you met a woman who could defeat you and let you go home without a feather. It's normal to think about it." Mycroft is a little unaccustomed to suddenly playing the role of a bosom brother, what he usually does is control, and what he loves most is making his beloved little brother jump in anger, of course, this matter It is also one of Sherlock's favorites.

Sherlock sat on the bench dejectedly, without speaking.Compared with this time, losing before Ireneadler is nothing. It was just that Ireneadler snatched back the mobile phone I got. Today, I investigated a small case and injured Shelley. It was to save him. This genius detective has a lot of self-esteem It's a little unbearable, and the heart is a little too stimulated.

But he didn't slump for too long, he cheered up again when he saw Lestrade, pulled him aside and muttered for a while, Lestrade nodded and left.

Mycroft raised his eyebrows when he saw this: "You decide not to go out in person and don't look for Lestrade. There are so many police officers in Scotland Yard, don't you think Lestrade is not tired enough?" Lestrade is already busy until midnight every day, and there is no weekend without rest It's daytime, even if you want him to accompany you to France for a meeting and bask in the sun.

When Shelley woke up, she found herself lying in a luxurious ward. She raised her head in surprise to see what was going on, but there was a sharp pain in her chest, and a hand stretched out next to her and pressed her shoulder: " Don't move, be careful to open the wound."

Only then did she realize that she was injured, and turned her head to look carefully at Sherlock, only to see that he was still wearing his long trench coat, his eyes were blue and black, his curly hair was even more disheveled, and his beard was unshaven. She couldn't help laughing: "Look at your image, how long have you not slept? Is there any other case?"

Sherlock shook his head: "You've been in a coma for two days, are you hungry?"

It's okay if he doesn't say anything, but when he said Shelley, she felt her stomach growling, and she didn't blush, they had already seen the image of the other party and didn't want to see it anymore, so they asked directly: "I want to drink corn rib soup, how about There are stir-fried mung bean sprouts, and don’t forget to cook some rice.”

Sherlock was dumbfounded for a while, nodded and took out the phone: "John, Shelley woke up and wants to eat Chinese food. You can go to the Chinese restaurant on Shell Street to pack a few servings. I want a corn rib soup, a stir-fried mung bean sprouts, and some light dishes. A little dish, three rice, come and eat together."

Shelley twitched her lips in boredom, she really read too many romance novels, and thought that Sherlock would go back to 221b and cook her some salty and half-cooked dishes in a hurry.

Sherlock glanced at her, cleared his throat uncomfortably, and said, "I'll do it for you when your wound is almost healed and you go home to take care of it. It's not too difficult. Now that I'm gone, no one will I'm with you."

Shelley didn't bother him anymore, nodded and asked, "How's the case going?"

"I asked Lestrade to investigate directly, and there was no difficulty. Just go directly to Mason Securities to catch one of the Pinna twins and solve the problem."

"Pinna is really a twin?" Shelley was very surprised, "What does this have to do with Mason Securities?"

"Is there anything in Hallpycroft that they covet? No, their real target is Mawson Securities. It just so happens that Hallpycroft received a job offer from Mawson Securities. It is not difficult to make a set of fake documents to impersonate Hallpycroft and go to work at Mawson Securities. The problem is how to prevent the real hallpycroft from appearing, so there is this scam. Unfortunately, before their goal is achieved, hallpycroft sees through the scam, so hallpycroft is killed. But hallpycroft's wife does not believe that her husband fell into the water by mistake, and found Me, this made the two criminals nervous, and sent people to kill people to silence them. Therefore, we don’t need to investigate anything, as long as we send people to Mason Securities to catch one of the twins, we can know their purpose.”

Shelley nodded and didn't ask any further questions: "Sherlock, Christmas is coming, what gift do you want?"

Sherlock glanced at her: "Don't ordinary people pay attention to surprises when they give gifts?"

"Are you a normal person?" Shelley asked back.

Sherlock thought for a while: "It makes sense, but I still want to be surprised."

Shelley curled her lips: "Okay, but I also want to be pleasantly surprised. Don't use any messy things to fool me this year."

"Don't worry," Sherlock bent down and brought his face closer to hers. She was a little puzzled, watching his gray-blue eyes gradually darken, and then straightened up suddenly, "I will definitely give you a very pleasant surprise gift." .”

Shelley asked suspiciously: "Is there any surprise or joy?"

Sherlock smiled, turned around and said, "John, you're here? We're all starving."

Shelley stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, and finally got out of the hospital before Christmas, and it was a miserable situation to spend the holidays in the hospital.

Originally, she wanted to go home for Christmas, but her mother went back to China, and she planned to stay for two months with her for Christmas. She also brought mycroft and sherlock's mother, Antoie Holmes, with her, so they had to stay at home. It's Christmas in London.

Christmas Eve was spent at 221b. As soon as the night fell, snowflakes began to fall. It was decorated with a small Christmas tree and colorful lights. It was really festive. Even Sherlock stood by the window and played for everyone in great spirits. A Christmas carol, this kind of song that can be regarded as popular music, but Sherlock has always dismissed it.

Anyway, Sherlock's violin was beyond reproach, and he bowed slightly to the crowd's applause, as if he were playing on stage.

Putting down the violin, he turned to Shelley: "How about you play a piece too?"

Shelley was a little surprised: "I didn't bring my zither, it's still at my grandfather's house in China."

Sherlock smiled and brought out a long box from the bedroom. Shelley cheered when he saw it. Inside the box was a guzheng, with a dark red body shining brightly.

Sherlock was well prepared, even having a piano bench. Shelley washed his hands and dried them, tuned the strings carefully, tried the soundtrack, and began to play.Except for Sherlock, no one else has seen this kind of instrument. They only think it sounds good, but they can't tell what it is.

After the song, Shelley smiled and said, "I should have learned the violin with you at the beginning, but I can't play with you even after learning the zither."

John was a little puzzled: "They?"

"Sherlock's violin and Mycroft's cello, sometimes Aunt Antoie will play the piano together." Shelley explained, "Because my grandfather asked me to choose a Chinese instrument, I chose Zheng, and I had to watch them play together every time."

Just as I was talking, Mycroft and Lestrade arrived: "It says to come up by yourself, so we will come up."

Lestrade put the presents aside, they were several wrapped boxes, one for each person, and naturally they would not be opened until the next morning. Shelley liked Inspector Lestrade very much. He was handsome, gentle and broad-minded. If she hadn't known Mycroft since she was a child, she would really think that Mycroft was not good enough for him.

John's girlfriend is also here. He has changed several girlfriends in less than a year. Except for the earliest one named Sarah, Shelley is not familiar with the rest, and Sherlock even called the wrong one when he opened his mouth. name, but Shelley guessed that he did it on purpose, even if Sherlock didn't know his name, he wouldn't be stupid enough to count the names of John's past girlfriends in front of him, but when did he become so nosy?

Then Molly arrived. She had been dressed up, put on makeup, and was wearing a very beautiful suspender dress, but it didn't suit her. Molly looked nervous, stammering their Christmas greetings, and Shelley frowned slightly as she glanced at the gift in her hand.

When Molly came in, she said a bunch of wrong words, almost all of which were things that other people didn't like or were unhappy about. Shelley suddenly felt completely understandable why she liked Sherlock for so long and didn't give up. She was completely on the same level in terms of poisonous tongue. , the only difference is that one is natural and the other is intentional.

Sherlock also came over, and when he stared at her gift, everyone had a bad feeling and shouted together: "Shut up, Sherlock."

But Sherlock wouldn't shut up, he said, "Looks like you've got a new boyfriend, Molly..."
