Mary's Nineteenth Century

Mycroft admitted that his life after coming to the United States was not peaceful, but he still insisted on one point - it is impossible to be unlucky, and he is the darling of the god of luck in this life.

The so-called corpse of Mrs. Roman's dead old friend was stolen, and the so-called quasi-broker of Mrs. Roman's dead body was lying on the street. Although it is unfortunate that it is true, the identities of those people are all fake.

Intelligence work is inherently a dangerous profession, and death follows everywhere, and the accidental death of an agent or informant cannot be attributed to another person.

The truth cannot be told.

Despite this, Mycroft still followed the trend, "Mr. Minton, you are right. I have also noticed that I am at odds with the American aura. Therefore, I have made a decision that it is time to prepare to leave the United States We will return to France when this case is cleared up."

Look, just in time to find a reason to say goodbye to Mr. Minton.

This reason was delivered to the door by Mr. Minton himself, and it could not have been more convenient for him to use it.

Mycroft was even able to say a few words in a pleasant mood, thinking of the days when he would settle down in London.

"There are still two and a half months to Christmas, but unlike last year, I will not encounter such a thrilling Christmas again. Mr. Minton, I will remember those old days. Although it will never come again, it will always remain The memory shines brightly."

Yes, the life-and-death experience of flying a hot air balloon is unforgettable.

But just keep it in the memory, and don't have to prove for yourself how unsettled Christmas can be year after year.

Mycroft seemed to be saying goodbye early, but without the slightest sadness of parting.

"From now on, if it is not necessary, I will not set foot on the continental United States, which is not compatible with me. Presumably, you also think that such a decision is very good."

"You are leaving..."

Mary was silent for two seconds, as if she didn't feel any reluctance at all. "Yes, your choice is correct. It is wise to avoid risks. I hope you can enjoy your life in France."

Assuming that the life of some kind of pretender is over, Mrs. Roman is no longer Mrs. Roman, and she must be able to live the happy life she wants.

Of course Mary would not keep her, and it was expected that she would say goodbye sooner or later.What difference does it make if it comes sooner or later?

Perhaps, there is still a little difference.An interesting person is leaving, and before we can get to know each other better, the other person is leaving.

Whether to part or not, we must first pay attention to the death of Wall Street broker Toby.

Toby, on the surface, has no relatives and no reason.

After studying at university in Prussia, he came to the United States to work hard. He is 30 years old and has worked on Wall Street for five years.

Over the past five years, Toby's investment performance has nothing to do with being amazing, it can only be said to be stable without merit.He has not seized the opportunity of skyrocketing, nor has he experienced the crisis of plummeting.

Take the financial battle for railway power that just ended last year as an example. There are countless bankrupt investment companies and impoverished brokers, but Toby has never been involved in it from the beginning.

In hindsight, it is rare for Toby to be able to maintain stability in the ever-changing Wall Street.

Such a broker died in a dark alley.

Soon people heard that someone had investigated Toby's death, and Mrs. Roman, his quasi-client, funded the investigation, and even invited Minton to pursue the truth together.

For a while, strange scandals appeared again.

Someone completed the follow-up of the hot air balloon news, it turns out that the relationship between M; & L is not over yet.

Mr. Minton was really not afraid of the threat of death, and went to help the kind-hearted Mrs. Roman investigate Toby's murder.

It is said that death strikes because Toby's murder characteristics are related to the recent death incident; it is said that Roman is helpful because if he is not kind, who would spend money to investigate the case for the manager who has not yet finalized the contract?

Having said that, if this is not love, how could Mr. Minton know that there is a lot of trouble, but still spoil Mrs. Roman and let her meddle in her own business.

Mary; & Mycroft: If the protagonist of the scandal wasn't me, I almost believed this toothache-sweet romantic love story.

Unfortunately, the protagonist is himself.

The gossip from the outside world is simply false.

Those news that are not too big to watch are isolated outside the gate of the morgue.

Here, there are only victims who died with regret.

On the mortuary table was a fat Toby. People said that he was fat because he was not greedy for money.

"Objectively speaking, being obese hindered the possibility of Toby's smooth escape."

Mary doesn't discriminate against fat people, but just states the facts that Toby has proved with his life.

The fatal injury on Toby's body was not a piercing of the ear, it was a post-mortem injury, the real injury was a heavy blow to the back of the head.

Footprints were left at the scene of death.

After chasing and fleeing, the murderer with a US size of 10 is chasing, and the victim with a US size of 12 is still at large.

The footprints showed the speed of the two. It was obvious that Toby could not run fast, and was hit in the back of the head after a fight.

Mycroft skipped the subject of fat man's flexibility.Although he doesn't have a penny relationship with fat now, his brain, which is good at simulation and calculation, can already predict the possible changes after returning to London.

Maybe, just maybe, in order not to end up in Toby's end, he can control his sugar intake.

"Mr. Minton, what do you think of this murder?"

Mycroft went straight to the business, "After looking at the wound, do you think it's really the escalation of the crime committed by the Zaer monster?"

Although there was a Ouija board at the scene of the death, and the knife piercing Toby's ear was of the same type as the knife that had been found to destroy the body, there was always a sense of disobedience.

Toby's brain wound was similar to the pig's head and cow's head found before, as if he had poked his ear hastily.This is different from the body stolen from the grave.On the human corpses in those cemeteries, the Jars showed excitement.

Assuming that the crime is escalating, why is the intensity of the knife reduced?

Mary asked the police that Toby was holding a new Ouija board at the scene of the death, but the briefcase he carried every day was not found.

Perhaps, this can be explained by the fact that Toby's death time was on Sunday night, and he did not carry a briefcase on non-working days, but his colleagues all said that they had never heard of Toby's belief in supernatural things.

"A manager who is too lazy to move, he will go out to buy a new Ouija board after a busy six days?"

Mary does not deny the possibility of Toby hiding his preferences from the outside world, but the weird thing is that Toby didn't leave a penny in his wallet.

The wallet is empty; the pocket is empty.

Toby was holding only one Ouija board when he died. Could it be that he spent all the cash on his body for the Ouija board?

This is exaggerated.

The boom in sales of Ouija boards is related to its low-price strategy. New products are launched at a discounted price of three dollars a set.It's not expensive for Toby, as for draining his wallet?

Mary had a feeling that the Ouija board and the ear piercings were used to confuse the viewer and conceal that the murderer had searched every nook and cranny of Toby's body.Was the murderer out for money?But there is no such thing as giving away a Ouija board for money.

"Personally, I think the real culprit is diverting his attention."

Mary made an inference, "How much do you know about Mr. Toby's work, has he offended someone?"

After a detailed autopsy, Mycroft also came to a similar conclusion that Toby wasn't killed by the Zale.

Since he didn't encounter a serial killer whose crimes escalated, he was involved in an incident that cannot be spoken to the outside world. The most likely reason is that he recently touched the financial undercurrent that was ready to go.

"Mr. Toby seems to have heard about a big deal that hasn't started yet."

Mycroft didn't answer vaguely on purpose, as Toby hasn't released any definite news yet, so the so-called undercurrent is that it hasn't been exposed to others.

"Unfortunately, based on the food residues in Mr. Toby's stomach, the last meal was eaten at his own home, and it is impossible to judge that he may have been to other places before he was killed."

A secretly conspired big deal became the direct clue to Toby's murder.

At this point, Mycroft put on an expression of humbly asking for advice.

"Mr. Minton, based on your knowledge of Wall Street, is there any earth-shattering big business coming out recently? The kind of big business that can make people hire murderers."

a good question.

However, how big a deal is considered big?The so-called murder-for-hire business sounds rare, but in fact, one or two can be found in the daily transaction orders.

Mary smiled, "Mrs. Roman, are you taking this opportunity to inquire about the opportunity to get rich overnight? Oh no, are you looking for an opportunity to get rich overnight? Could it be that Mr. Toby recommended a certain mysterious enrichment project to you? "

Mycroft hadn't thought of speculating at all, but it was normal to talk about that between Mrs. Roman and Toby the manager.

He can only act to the end." Mr. Toby mentioned a few words, and he also said that the risk is very high, even higher than the financial war for railway rights that ended last year. Mr. Minton, what kind of speculation do you think it will be? ?”

Can anyone predict the impending financial war?

If you can, why not stay in Wall Street and join the rich list overnight, but stay in the morgue of the New York Police Department?

Mary shook her head: "Mrs. Roman, thank you very much for your appreciation. But like me, I'm still a college student, and I can't make much trouble on Wall Street. How do you think I can know about big deals?"

"Can't you predict?"

Mycroft specifically pointed out, "I thought it would be possible to write the "M" of "Analysis of Wall Street in the Nineteenth Century". "

Who is "M"?

Mary tilted her head in doubt, as if she didn't understand anything.

Mycroft took a step forward, forcing someone to face the problem squarely.

"Mr. Minton, you really don't know? As you can see, Mr. Toby has been killed now, and he was killed by the murderer with the modus operandi of blaming the Zaar monster. Things have spread, and it will soon be the real murderer." How do you think that person will react, knowing the weirdo?

Will he be stimulated to decide to kill anyone who dares to frame him?During this process, will the jerk monster with an unstable mental state engage in a killing contest, and how many innocent people will die as a result? "

If Toby's death is an inevitable danger of the profession, he must have the consciousness of death before he chooses to become a spy, but everyone else who will be implicated will suffer from unwarranted disasters.

"I don't know why you want to follow up on the series of weird cases of Benny and Kennan. If you can clarify the undercurrent that is about to erupt on Wall Street, it is possible to find out the real weirdo by targeting the imitation killer.

Even if the possibility of catching the real culprit is not high, I am very different, Mr. Minton, do you want to miss a chance? "

Mycroft, after one of his rare long conversations, finally asked with a half-smile, "Mr. Minton, so do you know now at all?"

Mary: ...

The ellipsis is not enough to describe her helplessness.

Huh?Wait a minute, why does this last question sound familiar?

Last year she took a feather and asked a very similar question, asking Mrs. Roman if she understood the analysis of animal feathers.At that time, he was forced to identify the feathers from owls.

So, is Feng Shui turning around now, or is someone asking for a black account?
