[sherlock] It's mine, don't move!
Chapter 57 Meeting with Magnussen 1
After getting out of the taxi, John saw a very modern skyscraper, which completely subverted the traditional image of a newspaper building in John's mind. If Sherlock hadn't informed him of his destination in advance, he would probably feel that this It is the location of a high-tech electronics company.Well, everything is possible, the great detective Sherlock can hold hands with him and get married, so what's the fuss about such a unique newspaper building?
"Magnussen's office is on the top floor, just below his private apartment. There are 14 floors of security guards between us and him. Two of them are illegally employed in the UK." Sherlock took John's hand and walked straight into the room. In the spacious and bright lobby on the first floor, he turned his head, looked at John expectantly, and asked mysteriously, "John, don't you want to know how we can get in if we don't have an appointment?"
"To be honest, I don't really want to know. Can we not go in?" John shook his head shamelessly.There is only one thing John wants to do now, which is to walk back from this seemingly good place, stop a taxi at random, and immediately go back to 221B Baker Street (if it is not possible, go back to Downing Street in McCaw) One thing to keep in mind is that you can't forget to bring Detective Curly.
"Of course we have to go in." Sherlock gave John a disapproving look.From the moment he got in the taxi, the former military doctor became absent-minded. When he came here, he immediately shrugged off, without any energy at all.How can this work?Being a detective assistant also requires a high degree of sobriety at all times to deal with dangers and emergencies from all sides.Although he loves adventures, he hasn't thought about dying young. He still has to take care of John for the rest of his life! (The question of who takes care of whom is really open to debate)
"Sherlock, I want to go back." Swallowing, John suddenly stopped, and the hand held tightly by Sherlock twisted uncomfortably, waiting until the big detective stopped as he wished and turned his face It was only when she turned around to face him that she murmured her request in a low voice.Looking around the busy lobby on the first floor uneasily, John felt his hair getting more and more serious.
"Why?" Following John's gaze, Sherlock also scanned the hall, but unfortunately saw nothing.He didn't understand, what happened to John?They just came to see Magnuson and not bravely ventured into the Devil's Den. They have experienced so many dangers before, does John need such a big reaction this time?
"I always have a bad feeling that it makes me uncomfortable to stay here." John said with a frown.Since Christmas, his heart has been faintly uneasy, as if something is going to be out of his control, but during this period, except for Sherlock's "drug use" pretense that made him a false alarm, there is really nothing Nothing bad will happen again.What's more, his system didn't give any warning, so that although John was a little uneasy, he didn't really stop Sherlock from continuing to investigate Magnuson's actions behind McCaw's back.
"John, let's have a cup of coffee first. You are too tired today, that's why you are a little bit out of spirits." Sherlock looked at John seriously for a few seconds, reached out and patted John's cheek lightly, and then naturally said goodbye Take him by the hand and walk to the canteen located a few meters to the left of the glass revolving door on the first floor.
"Sir, what do you need?" A young clerk in a black and white uniform with a black hat on his head asked.
"Two cups of black coffee with two sugars and no milk, thank you." Looking up and seeing the unreliable detective standing next to him holding his hand and habitually 'loosing his voice', John could only pull himself together to take on the task again. Take up the heavy responsibility of the telephone.
"Do you need anything else?"
"No thanks."
"Please wait."
"Ok."
"John, since Magnuson and I have made an appointment to meet, we must keep our promises, don't we? I mean, we're just meeting to discuss some deals that won't make it to the table. I don't know how to do anything, we can finish talking soon, within two or ten minutes, we can go home together, okay?" Sherlock took the paper coffee cup handed over by the clerk with both hands, and nodded to him Then he handed one of the cups of hot coffee to John's hand. Sensitively noticing that John's palms were slightly wet from cold sweat, Sherlock's lowered eyes flashed a glimmer of unknown meaning.John's strong reaction did surprise Sherlock. He didn't know that John would be so disgusted with meeting Magnuson, but even so, he didn't want to leave John for a moment, and he didn't intend to let him come with him. Change.
"Okay, now we are lucky enough to be invited, can we go up and meet directly?" Now that the big detective has comforted him so much, John feels that the matter of meeting Sherlock and Magnussen should be resolved quickly. It is the best policy.
"Magnusson's private elevator leads directly to the penthouse and office, and only he uses it. Only his key card can activate the elevator. If anyone tries to use this elevator, security will be notified immediately and come to arrest people. .John, I actually have two standard gate identification cards in my pocket." Sipping a sip of coffee, Sherlock walked side by side with John on the steps towards the elevator door on the second floor.
"what?!"
"Don't make such a fuss, I picked it up from the store on the first floor before Christmas, but it can only be used in ordinary elevators." Sherlock shrugged regretfully.He originally wanted to sneak into the top floor, but who knew that the defense measures of this building were so tight that it was difficult for him to find a weak point to attack.Moreover, when he wanted to implement the plan, his father and mother in remote Delahoma unexpectedly intervened halfway and asked McCoff to escort him and John back to their hometown to spend that damned Christmas. Festival!
All of this is Mycroft's fault. If it wasn't for him, how could so many things happen later? ! !
"When did you come here, why did I never know?!" John shook his hand holding a cup of coffee, and almost splashed the coffee on the handsome face of the big detective.Who will tell him why even though he watches this detective almost 24 hours a day, he still has the opportunity to go outside to do things wrong?Should he, as Mycroft suggested, put a tracking device on this man for safety?John felt that if the project could be successful, McCoff should be the happiest one.
"Oh~ John, there's still a lot you don't know." Sherlock stood at the elevator door, observing the elevator and the surrounding environment carefully and unobtrusively, while answering John's question indifferently.
"!" Hearing this tone, this great detective really has something to hide from him! !
"Okay, then let's go straight up." Sherlock showed a relaxed and happy smile, stretched out his fingers and pressed Magnussen's private elevator key.
"Sherlock, tell me the truth, what else are you hiding from me?!" Even though he was dragged into the elevator by Sherlock, John still hadn't forgotten what this person said before, so let's put aside the shifting focus!There are priorities, and it is more important to conceal this matter. "Aside from the kitchen cupboard, do you hide illegal drugs somewhere else?"
"John, don't keep obsessing about the contraband I hid, I'll be jealous."
"Leniency for confession, strictness for resistance! Tell me quickly, or I will beat you!!"
"You don't love me anymore!"
"Let that deep well ice love you!"
"I can't stand Moriarty. I think if we keep the two of us together, within three minutes we'll pick up guys and suck each other to death." After all, the two of them are deadly enemies, How can we live in peace?Well, what he meant was that even if John became weird and violent, he would not despise John.After all, the Holmes family has never had a precedent for divorce, even if he is a maverick in everything.
"Mary? You're here so well!" The elevator door opened slowly, and seeing the people standing at the door to greet them, John opened his mouth uncontrollably.Who will tell him how his ex-girlfriend Mary appeared in front of him? "Sherlock, is that what you're keeping from me?"
"John, you are making too much fuss. Didn't I already tell you? Will I take the place of Jenny who got into a car accident as an assistant in the newspaper office?" Mary shrugged her shoulders and grabbed Sherlock. Speak before.It can be seen that she was not too surprised by John and Sherlock's downfall, which should be the reason why she received the notice from Magnussen early in the morning.
"No, no, no~ I just didn't expect that the newspaper office you mentioned was here." John glared unceremoniously at Sherlock who was standing next to him, and then stretched out his hand to scratch his short, soft brown hair in embarrassment. .Before getting married, the last time he met Mary, he did hear her talk about it, but at that time he also thought that the two of them would never have the chance to meet again, so he didn't intend to ask Mary to replace her. A friend's place of work.Who would have thought that in such an unpredictable world, they would unexpectedly meet again on such an occasion?What's more, the meeting between his ex-girlfriend and his current lover really made John feel a little guilty in his heart, and the momentum he had just raised in front of Sherlock suddenly weakened a lot.
"That's because you don't pay attention to me, John." Mary spread her hands, with a hurt look on her face, and said, "John, at least we can be friends even if we can't be a couple? You are so sad gone."
"I'm...sorry. How's that...Jenny's injury?"
"John, how many times have you said 'I'm sorry' to me? I've said it all..."
"We have an appointment with Magnussen, can we go in now?" Sherlock saw a man and a woman 'eyebrowing' in front of him. Although he didn't understand why, he felt inexplicably unhappy.He put the paper coffee cup in John's other free hand vigorously, then patted the long black trench coat on himself, subconsciously interrupting the conversation between John and Mary.
Mary lowered her head to cover her eyes and flickered slightly. When she looked up, she looked calm and calm. She looked at Sherlock and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, the boss has already made an explanation. I can only let you in alone."
"Can't John go in together?" Sherlock raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I'm sorry, this is what the boss told you. If you have any comments, you can talk to him directly. John, how about waiting outside for a while? I'll take Sherlock in alone." Mary's eyes quickly swept from Sherlock's body to John's. Then, the eyebrows are slightly curved, and the smile is bright.
"John!" Damn it, why did John meet this woman again?Originally, he wanted to bring John along to make this malicious Mary give up, but why did the development of the matter differ from what he reasoned and deduced?What a big mistake!
"Ah? What... what's the matter?" John looked at the irritable Sherlock in a daze.It was fine just now, so what's the matter now?
"Don't look at other women in front of me!!" The big detective didn't realize that he had knocked over the vinegar vat at all, he just stared at Mary with an ugly face, and subconsciously warned John, just like an animal protecting its own territory generally.
"Oh~ I see." John obediently agreed.In front of outsiders, John would never refute Sherlock on some principled issues.
"Then did I go in?" Sherlock snorted heavily at Mary, then turned his head and looked at John reluctantly, with one hand still tightly pulling on the sleeve of John's khaki coat.
"I'll wait for you outside, don't worry!" Seeing the big detective who finally followed Mary into the office, but still looked back three times, John could only show him a comforting smile, dumbfounded.I don't know since when, Sherlock has become more and more attached to him. Even if he doesn't want to go out to handle the case, he won't let him carry his notebook as an errand to the scene to find evidence, but stay at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock can see Stay in a place where you can see and touch, it seems that only in this way can the big detective feel more at ease.
These subtle changes may not have been noticed by Sherlock himself, who has a low EQ, but John felt it.Of course, this is a good thing for John, which shows that Sherlock is paying more and more attention to him, so that even some inadvertent actions and words of Sherlock can make John feel moved and delighted from the bottom of his heart .
