Originally, John thought that Sherlock would ask him something, but he didn't. He just glanced at the sky outside through the window, and said, "It's late, go to bed early." Then he went back to his room.

But John glanced at the clock hanging on the window, and the hands on it pointed to only a quarter to eight, so he couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he could only smile wryly, and then went back to his room .

Sherlock Holmes still has some experience in acting, so John has been thinking about the other party's reaction.After all, Sherlock may have noticed that he was different before, but there was no evidence, so he took it as his own illusion and let it go, but what Mycroft said last night should make him realize that everything he showed was not an illusion. So it's time to say something, right?

but.

When the next morning came, Sherlock appeared as always, greeted John as always, and ran around for the case as always, John was a little helpless, but at the same time relieved.

For Sherlock, in the past few days of getting along, John can't say that he fully understands him, but it's not too bad, so he knows that this is Sherlock's rare thoughtfulness, waiting for himself to tell him to agree.

Of course, he must be reasoning about all kinds of possibilities in his heart, but no matter how he reasoned, I'm afraid he couldn't imagine that the real John Watson had died in Afghanistan, and the person standing in front of him now was actually just a A ghost from the Tang Dynasty in China.

This feeling of being thoughtful by Sherlock is very novel, because he has always been a person with a very poisonous mouth, and once he perceives the truth, he always has to speak out, unable to hide his words.

But now that everything has been laid out by Mycroft, John feels that he doesn't need to hide his little tricks any more, he can show them completely, and then... let Sherlock do the deduction.

Since John was reborn, he has never been so relaxed as he is now. You must know that in Datang, because of the queen's favor, he was always domineering and reckless.But after coming to this strange world, in order not to be noticed by others, in order to survive in this world, he had to restrain those edges and corners of his body, live a low-key life, live a low-key life, not at all. As reckless as in the previous life.

Once again, Sherlock had a case to pass the time, and at the same time, he would not forget his assistant John Watson. With the usual attitude, he asked John to go to the scene with him.

The case this time is not from Lestrade, but from a classmate of Sherlock's university. His classmate works in a bank, but yesterday he sent an e-mail to Sherlock email, asking for help.

However, John did not intend to go with him, because unlike Sherlock, even if he did not rely on detective work for income, he still had a steady stream of funding from the Holmes family. After all, although he was only the second son, his father had passed away long ago , but Mycroft cares about his younger brother, and Sherlock also has a part of the Sherlock Holmes family property.

Therefore, after retiring from the army, it is impossible to live well with only a little monthly pension from the army. After all, this is London, and the price of goods is much higher than other places.Even though the rent of 221b is not high, and Sherlock shares part of it, John still needs money in his daily life, and it is a lot of money. For this, he needs a job.

Hearing that the assistant in front of him who was quite happy to work with him was going to find a job, Sherlock raised his brows, "I thought you would enjoy solving the case with me?"

"Of course." John is really enjoying it, but in real life, he is just a person who runs around for money, instead of serving in Dali Temple like in his previous life, and the Dali Temple sends him a salary to support himself.

Following Sherlock, he was really happy to solve the case again, but Sherlock never cared about money, so he would not receive a reward, so John couldn't get a salary for solving the case, which made him a little poor now.

"But I need a job," John told Sherlock, unable to say that he was short of money.

Well, Sherlock has figured out why John likes to solve crimes with himself, but he has to find a job, so he naturally took out his checkbook and said: "How about a thousand pounds a month? I hired You will be my assistant in solving the case."

This is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds, and after John calculated a thousand pounds and the current price in London, he pointed to the checkbook in Sherlock's hand, "I'm very honored, but can I advance this month's salary first? boss."

"Of course. But you'd better call me by my name, I'm more used to it." Sherlock took out a pen, wrote numbers and his own name on the checkbook, and handed it to John.

"Okay! Then, Sherlock, where are we going now?" Apparently, Sherlock didn't tell John where the case they were going to solve this time was.

And Sherlock told him: "Let's go to the bank."

The bank Sherlock is going to is Shadsanderson's head office in London. Once entering the bank, Sherlock habitually pays attention to the surroundings, such as the time on the electronic display, the number of people waiting, the surrounding decorations, and even the place he is going to. The floor has to be confirmed once.

When they came to the business hall, Sherlock took John directly to a front desk lady and told her, "I am Sherlock Holmes." After confirming the appointment of Mr. Holmes, the receptionist guided Sherlock to let him He arrived at his old classmate's office smoothly.

There was no one in the office, and Sherlock waited for a while before his classmate returned.

"Sherlock Holmes." The young executive in a suit and leather shoes walked into the office with a smile on his face, and greeted his old classmate whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Sebastian." Seeing that his classmates were about to give him a hug, Sherlock stretched out his left hand.

Sebastian was able to sit in the position of supervisor at such a young age, of course he was very good at observing people's words, he could see from Sherlock's actions that he didn't like to get close to people, of course, he was never a person who liked to get close to others , so he naturally stretched out his left hand and shook it.

Sebastian's movements are smooth, as if all he wanted to do was shake hands with Sherlock.

"Okay buddy." Sebastian said happily, as if the two were very good friends: "It's been a long time, it's been eight years." Then he saw John standing beside him , with doubts on his face.

However, before Sebastian had time to ask, Sherlock had already introduced the two of them: "This is my friend, John Watson."

"It's an honor to meet you." Sebastian held out his hand to John.

"Hello."

However, when Sherlock sat down in the chair with John, he relapsed again. "It seems that you have a good life, and you often go abroad."

"How to say?" Sebastian's expression froze for a moment, but he still forced himself to reply playfully.

To be honest, he really didn't want to ask Sherlock to help, because he always likes to act like this.But as for the detectives, he has never invited them, so he doesn't know which one is the one with the strictest mouth and will not talk nonsense.And although Sherlock likes to act out others, he will not spread rumors that are not good for this bank behind others' backs, so he is still a trustworthy person.

Sherlock obviously didn't see the unhappiness in the other party's heart, maybe he could, but he never changed himself for others, so he continued to talk: "Flying around the world, at least twice a month."

"Ha, I can tell, you're here again." Although Sebastian smiled on his face, he said to John with an unfriendly attitude: "We are classmates in college, and this guy always plays tricks like this."

"It's not a trick." Because Sherlock is very kind to himself, and he is the only person who makes John feel kind to him when he came to this world, so he defends him very much: "He knows your life just by looking at you." .”

"Yeah, I've seen it before. When I was in college, I made everyone feel insecure and disgusted." Seeing John's defense of Sherlock, Sebastian was very unhappy. After all, Sherlock was in his heart. The image is not very good, but being maintained like this made him feel a subtle displeasure: "We went to the college banquet hall for breakfast, and this guy pointed out that you fooled around the day before."

Thinking of the embarrassment in the crowd at that time, Sebastian really couldn't give Sherlock a good face.

"I just observe the details."

"Please advise." Sebastian said dryly.

"Two business trips a month, flying all over the world."

"Well, it's all right." But Sebastian really couldn't give him a surprised expression because he had seen too much. "How did you get it."

Sherlock opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Sebastian said bluntly, "Don't tell me, what special Manhattan tomato juice was splashed on my tie?"

"No, I..."

"So it's the mud spots on my shoes?"

Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, John suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason, but he held back.

Sherlock saw the slightly raised corners of his lips, and suddenly sighed helplessly, thinking that if he continued to argue about whether he was playing tricks, then the purpose of coming today would be completely over.So he compromised: "I just talked with your secretary outside for a while, she told me."

For this answer, Sebastian said he could accept it, so he smiled very satisfied.
