[sherlock] It's mine, don't move!

"Mary, what are you trying to do?" Magnuson, who was leaning back on the chair, stretched out his hand to help his glasses on the bridge of his nose calmly, and looked at Mary with his 'dead fish eyes', even more so. To be precise, it should be looking at the pistol that Mary took out from under the tray, which was specially added with a silencer.

"Dear boss, no! It should be Charles Augustus Magnuson. What do I want to do? You should already know it in your heart." Mary threw away the small and thin wooden tray, and the tray It rolled on the faded pure wool rug without making any slight sound.In the blink of an eye, the gun in Mary's hand had been perfectly loaded and loaded by her, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Magnuson's forehead.Everyone present could see that if Magnussen made any rash moves, he would be shot in the head by his current backup assistant.

"Mary, you are such a bad girl, very bad, very bad girl~ But, I believe you will not easily shoot and kill Sherlock Holmes and me." Magnussen twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a very stiff smile Once again jumped on the face.

"No, I will shoot, given that you know my true identity like the back of your hand." Mary blinked her eyelids lightly, and looked at Magnussen expressionlessly.

"What caused you to become so restless? Mary, you are a very calm and good girl. You have been working with me for so long in order to get back your identity information. You You are a good employee, and I have always been very satisfied with your expression, so I also acquiesced in your replacement of Jenny's work, based on our tacit working relationship during this period of time. If I change because of this, I will also be very distressed Some time ago. Maybe it was because of these two lovely visitors that your original mind was shaken? Are you afraid that your secret will be known by one of them? Is it the great detective or the lovely and honest ex? Military doctor?" Magnuson asked speculatively, looking out of the corner of his eye at Sherlock, who was also sitting on the chair with his back upright, not daring to move. "I remember that your crush should be John, right? Don't tell me you want to take care of your rival here?"

"Shut up! Magnuson." Mary didn't move the pistol at all, but looked at Magnuson with even more disgust.She doesn't understand why there are such disgusting and disgusting people in the world. The existence of such people has nothing to do with her. Unfortunately, it is a pity that her unfortunate secret identity that has been buried for many years is in the hands of this man. Hands down, for God's sake!What kind of situation does this world have to make her fall before she can give up?

"Mary, don't be impulsive!" Sherlock said at this moment, he sat on the chair and wanted to turn around to face Mary.

"Mr. Detective, if you dare to move again, I don't mind rewarding you with a bullet." The cold muzzle quickly touched Sherlock's curly hair, and Mary's cold words sounded in Sherlock's mouth. His movements stopped for an instant.Under the absolute threat of force, no matter how wise and close to the monster the great detective has to learn to temporarily compromise.

"Mary, I know your identity is not simple, you should be an absconded former agent or killer?" Sherlock raised his hands weakly and asked Mary.At the same time, quietly observing this not-so-simple love rival through the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on his side, it seems that his former military doctor is really a sweet potato, attracting rotten peach blossoms everywhere, and rotten peach blossoms are fine, but why? This one is also a super piranha with a mutated disguise.I really don't know if it was luck or misfortune for John and him to provoke such a powerful woman.Of course, no matter who wants to rob John from him, they are all doomed to be cannon fodder. John is already his, so let those rivals (including Mary) give up their hearts and give up their hearts! ! !

"As expected of the famous detective in the British Empire, Sherlock, you can guess my identity, so you should also be able to guess that I'm really good at fighting, and I'm relentless!"

"Actually, I'm more concerned about another matter now. What did you do to John?"

"John? I told him just now that he is fine and is watching the scenery by the French window. However, even if you die here, he won't notice. Who told you that the soundproofing effect of this office is so good that you don't expect it?" You really get what you pay for, Magnuson, what do you think?" When Mary mentioned John, her cold face involuntarily warmed up, and then, when she looked at Magnuson again, she In an instant, he returned to his frosty appearance.

"Mary, you want to assassinate Magnussen, I can ignore it or treat it as if nothing happened. As long as you tell me, did you really not do anything to John?" Sherlock glanced at the tightly closed office For the first time, I was dissatisfied with why he would so hastily agree to a person to come in to negotiate with Magnuson, leaving John outside alone. He could not really confirm John's safety by staying inside.Want him to believe the words of this liar Mary [-]%?Unless he is as stupid as a goldfish! "John has been brooding and guilty about breaking up with you. You shouldn't hurt his trust and feelings for you."

"I just knocked him out. He's safe now. The things between the three of us shouldn't implicate him. Isn't that what you really think, detective?" Mary sighed, and she knew absolutely Unable to hide from this extremely clever detective, he still spoke the truth.Mary knew that John was an upright, kind, and good man. Although most of the responsibility for the breakup between the two of them was on John, Mary did not blame him. On the contrary, Mary felt that Sherlock Holmes was the culprit that caused all these consequences culprit.The suppressed pistol was slightly raised against Sherlock's black curly hair, and Mary asked in a flat tone: "You know I won't hurt John a single hair, shouldn't Mr. Holmes care about his own safety first?"

"You won't do anything to me until you kill Magnussen." Sherlock said with absolute certainty.For this former female agent, Magnuson, who holds unfavorable evidence that can definitely bury her in prison for the rest of her life, a love rival who seems insignificant for the time being and may help her, which one is better? It's clear at a glance, isn't it?Although Sherlock still doesn't know what substantive disadvantages Magnussen has about Mary, but judging from his understanding and analysis of Magnussen, it will definitely not be a secret that makes Mary feel insignificant.For many people, Magnuson is such a devil who specializes in threatening people with their unsightly secrets. In short, if Mary can send this so-called newspaper owner to heaven, not only Sherlock is happy to hear it, and will most people in the UK silently raise their hands in celebration, right?

"Little Mr. Holmes, if you let this former lady agent kill me, you won't be able to see the real Appledoe." Magnuson's blue eyes flashed a cold light, he really didn't expect this The two rivals in love would turn their spears against him in unison.As a gentleman who never uses his hands, this is really embarrassing~

"No, I think I already know where the real Appledo is." Sherlock raised his eyebrows and said calmly.Then, under the threat of the gun, he still stretched out his right hand unswervingly, pointing his fingers straight at Magnuson's brain, and continued to explain: "Isn't the so-called 'Appledo' just staying there?" In your brain?"

"What do you mean by that?" Mary lowered her head in confusion and asked.

"What do you mean? I mean the place where the unknown secrets and handles are stored—Appledo is Magnuson's brain. To be precise, it should be regarded as a thinking palace. Magnuson He is the only person who has a mind palace besides me. The knowledge reserves in Magnuson’s mind can directly threaten Mary, you and many people’s deathbed. As long as Magnuson’s mind palace exists for a day, your secret It can never be destroyed, because the mind cannot be killed, so your only solution is to destroy the medium of the mind."

In other words, if Mary wants to keep her secret forever a secret, there is only one way, which is to directly destroy Magnuson's brain, or to put it more concisely, blow Magnussen's head with a single shot.

"How are you sure that my brain is Appledo?" Magnuson's calm face finally changed, his eyes were cold and deep, staring at Sherlock, and he spoke slowly.

"Because I suddenly remembered a sentence you once inadvertently revealed: 'I actually remember most of the secrets'. In this world, you are not the only one who has a thinking palace. I also have one. It is not only useful but also very useful. Safe, isn't it?"

"Mr. Sherlock Holmes, you are really smart! I think your brother will be very proud of your current performance, because you are the first person who clearly knows that I have a mind palace." Magnu Sen glanced at Mary who was in deep thought, raised her chin slightly, and suggested to Sherlock: "How about we make another deal?"

"What deal?" Sherlock glanced at the image of Mary at this moment on the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the side of the office, and asked softly.

"If you can keep me alive, how about I tell you a secret about John?"

"What secret do you know about John?"

"Oh~ this is a very interesting and unbelievable thing... Just like a Hollywood movie, I promise you, Mr. Holmes, will be very interested." Magnuson's deep voice was full of Temptation, like a devil coaxing humans to sacrifice their souls, makes Sherlock feel both love and hate.

"you……"

"Pounding..." An extremely slight gunshot sounded in the quiet office, as if a drop of water fell into the lake and caused ripples.Mary pierced a hole directly between Magnuson's eyebrows, and the bright red blood immediately covered the entire forehead and flowed down. Magnuson slowly fell into the chair with his inorganic green eyes wide open. Go down, die with regret.From Sherlock's point of view, all of this looks like a slow scene in a movie, very casual, simple and rough, but it is the former female agent that makes Sherlock feel the most terrifying.

"Mary...you killed Magnussen?" Sherlock immediately stood up from the chair after reacting, turned around, and looked at Mary who was holding a gun in her hand and still looked indifferent with disbelief. "Why did you do it so quickly? I still have something to ask Magnussen!"

Although Sherlock is recognized as a high-functioning anti-social personality, and has never been a person who is very loyal to the bottom line of social morality and law, he has never killed people easily and never bothered to kill people. He is only responsible for finding clues to solve cases and arrest Whether people were killed or not was always handed over to the Scotland Yard police.For Sherlock, such a direct killing method like Mary's is not only bloody and debt-ridden, but also the most inferior and naive way to solve the problem.The most important point is that Magnussen mentioned John's secret just now, whether it is true or not, on the premise that he is not sure whether this disgusting man has other physical backups besides the thinking palace in his head, He really didn't want Magnussen to die.

As long as it involves John, no matter how big or small, Sherlock can't ignore it!

"Yes, I killed Magnussen. Shouldn't someone like him deserve to die? Could it be that in this short ten-minute conversation, you have already sympathized with him and feel sorry for Magnussen's death?" What a pity?" Mary said mockingly, shaking the gun in her hand with her right hand, and then raised it again, this time the muzzle of the gun was locked on the head of Sherlock Holmes again, and the atmosphere in the office changed. In an instant, it became tense again.

"What do you want to do? Kill people and silence them?" Sherlock stood still, motionless.

"Magnussen's words are not pleasant, but he is right." Mary paused, then turned her head and glanced outside the office door, "That means I really plan to settle my rival in this office by the way. Mai Gnudsen is dead, and now it's your turn, Mr. Detective. How are you feeling?"

"It's quite complicated..."

"is it?"

"Of course~ you are not afraid of being discovered by John? He will definitely not let you go, after knowing the truth that you killed me."

"I won't let John know the truth. You should trust the ability of a top agent to erase evidence and falsify the scene."

"That's really a pity..." Before Sherlock finished speaking, he squatted down quickly, and then a carp rushed into Magnussen's desk. The whole process seemed simple, but Sherlock used the whole The circuit calculated by the brain at high speed and precision.Judging from Mary's ability and standing position, if the possibility of him rushing out of the office is too low, he can only hide behind the desk and procrastinate for a little life.

"Sherlock Holmes, you shouldn't be so stupid that you can block my bullets with just a solid cherry wood desk, right?" Mary put away her surprised gaze and asked dismissively, stepping on the leisurely chair. Steps, slowly walked in the direction of Sherlock.

"..." Sherlock turned his head and glanced at the corpse that was still paralyzed on the chair, his green eyeballs were rolling. Of course, he was not so stupid that he just wanted to rely on this flashy desk to resist the bullets of an agent. It's not that life is too long, in fact, he has calculated no less than six in his mind, no!There should be five escape routes.At the same time, Sherlock silently counted the slight footsteps that were getting closer...

step……

two steps...

Three steps...

"thumping!"

"thumping!"

It's a pity that things will always go wrong, no matter how precise and thorough the detective's calculations are.

After two gunshots, Sherlock leaned over from the desk, stared at everything in front of him dumbfounded, and his mind went blank for the first time.
