Aurora saw that Mary was still so gentle to her, and she didn't complain at all because she couldn't be there on the wedding day. She just wanted to sigh that Watson's vision was really good this time, but she heard Mary mentioning that she and Sherlock I couldn't help swallowing the words that were already swirling around my lips.

This is not the first time that this matter has been brought up by others. First of all, Sherlock himself has mentioned it countless times, intentionally or unintentionally, and even told the reporters bluntly once that he can follow her whenever the wedding is held.At that time, the heavy □□ indeed caused a lot of waves in the deep water of the news media, and Aurora had to be careful not to be recognized even when she went out during that time, otherwise it would be endless besieged and intercepted.

It's just that this matter was quickly covered by another bigger wave, which was the allegations about Sherlock that were revealed by Moriarty, who was aliased as Brooke.And then Sherlock took advantage of this plan to fake his death, and then took Aurora to travel around the world, busy dismantling the criminal network that Moriarty painstakingly woven, and had no time to discuss this matter.

"Okay." Sherlock, who had been trying his best to reduce his sense of existence, hadn't spoken for a long time in order to prevent Watson from getting angry again when he heard his voice, heard Mary telling Aurora half-jokingly and half-seriously, and Her little girlfriend didn't respond, so he opened his mouth to reply.

Aurora, who was silent for a long time, originally wanted to change the subject calmly, but after hearing Sherlock's unavoidable answer, she didn't know what to say.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was just right outside, and wisps of light came into the room through the windows, casting spots of light on the floor under the window sill, illuminating the whole room extraordinarily brightly.

Alan Gilbert sat on the sofa, unpacked the letters on the table, and wrote down the seating arrangements for the wedding day on a piece of paper.And little Charlotte snuggled up beside him, and didn't bother him. Instead, she held a thick album and carefully selected her favorite wedding dress style on it.

Aurora sat alone not too far from them, deliberately leaving space for the sweet unmarried couple who were about to get married, and flipping through a book similar to that of little Charlotte in her own hand. Atlas, but it is full of bridesmaid's clothing.

"This is my cousin. He has a good relationship with me. Do you want to arrange him at the first table?" Alan Gilbert casually picked up one from the top of the pile of letters, and tore it open roughly. He opened the envelope and took out a postcard from it. After glancing at it, he asked little Charlotte who was leaning against him for advice.

"Okay, it's all up to you." Little Charlotte's crisp voice rang out immediately. Although she had never met the legendary cousin, since Allen said that he had always had a good relationship with him, she naturally agreed. This person, whom he had never met before, developed a good impression out of thin air, and of course he had no objection to such an arrangement.

Hearing the commotion over there, Aurora raised her head subconsciously to look at the postcard contained in the envelope, frowned unabashedly, and somewhat intentionally tested Alan Gilbert's intentions, and said : "Little Charlotte, don't blame me for not telling you. This kid's cousin hates you so much that he doesn't even want to think about you. Second-class mail, postcards are also cheap, seem to be bought at a gas station, stamps licked three times Just put it on."

Before little Charlotte could react, Alan Gilbert took the lead in expressing: "Since he doesn't like Charlotte, let's throw him next to the bathroom. Sir, you are satisfied this time." Is it?"

The second half of Allen's sentence was to Aurora. At that time, in the fairy tale murder case, he was brought to the interrogation room by the Hopps police officer and repeatedly threatened. This has always been an indelible shadow in his heart .So even after such a long time, he still respected Aurora very much in words, and he didn't dare to neglect her at all, for fear that this unfriendly police officer would "abuse" him like before.

And Aurora's first impression of Allen was not very good. First, he lived a rough life and was directly related to the murderer involved in the case at the time.When the two of them were together, Aurora was unhappy, but this kind of thing is someone else's private matter after all, even though little Charlotte is a "little fan" who regards her as a "goddess", She is also not good at speaking out to obstruct.And two years later, when she returned to London, she heard that the two of them had reached the point of getting married. Naturally, she was still very dissatisfied with the groom candidate chosen by Little Charlotte.

Not long after Aurora came back, her impression of Alan Gilbert was still the same as it was two years ago, and she didn't know if he had made any changes since then.She just made a statement to expose his cousin's intentions. On the one hand, she felt that this kind of person is really not suitable for the first table. It is always good to let little Charlotte pay attention in advance. On the other hand, she wanted to test Take a look at Alan's attitude and see how sincere he is towards little Charlotte.

And Allen's attitude made her very satisfied.

Aurora could see that Allen was really different from two years ago. Since he respected and loved little Charlotte, she had nothing to worry about.Looking at the interaction between the two, she couldn't help but think of Sherlock who didn't know what he was doing now. She lowered her eyes and continued to flip through the album in her hand, hiding the smile hidden in her eyes.

"Mr. Police Officer, please take a look. Is there anyone among these people who doesn't like our little Charlotte? I'll let them all sit aside." His face gradually softened, and his attitude towards him changed obviously, and he continued, but his tone was a little flattering, and his smile was a little flattering.

When Aurora looked at Alan talking to her, she looked trembling, walking on thin ice, and was afraid that she would beat her up if she said something wrong or had a deviation in her attitude. She suddenly felt that she seemed a little too serious, and couldn't help but Putting his right hand on his chin, he began to reflect, and then readily agreed to Allen's request. He carefully observed the piles of letters on the table, took a blank piece of paper from the side, and wrote on it one by one. The name of the person described by Allen.

The first one is a heart-shaped postcard. The color is very similar to a lipstick color. It is from Ellen's distant cousin. She probably has a good impression of this good-looking cousin Ellen since she was a child, so she has a crush on Xiaocha. Lottie was very dissatisfied with the existence, even after receiving the wedding invitation, she still carefully chose this kind of very ambiguous postcard that aroused infinite reverie.Aurora sighed silently in her heart, couldn't help shaking her head, and wrote the little cousin's name on the piece of paper.

The rest were normal, until halfway through the letter, only a few scattered names were written on the blank paper in front of Aurora.It's just that apart from the attitude of these relatives and friends towards Charlotte, there is another thing worth noting, and that is the name Nelson Gilbert.

Aurora was scrolling through the letters leisurely while turning her pen, until a letter that looked very formal caught her attention.She often saw this kind of envelope on Mycroft's desk before, and it seemed that it was reserved for government personnel, and in order to highlight the formality, only high-ranking government officials were eligible to use envelopes made of this material.Since the government official was able to use this kind of envelope to contain his own reply to the invitation, he inadvertently expressed the importance he attached to the wedding and the fact that he and Alan Gilbert must have a close relationship.

Aurora guessed correctly, of course, the letter inside was signed by Nelson Gilbert, and it can be seen from the content that he is Allen's own brother.Aurora used to hang out with Mycroft in MI[-], and she clearly remembered the names of some government officials he often dealt with, and this Nelson Gilbert was one of them, he was a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs An important member of the Diogenes Club.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind, and Aurora felt that she might have thought of something, but when she recalled it carefully, she found that she couldn't remember it at all.It's just that her intuition told herself that this was inextricably related to the serial arson case a long time ago.

"Master Police Officer?" Alan Gilbert next to him was talking and laughing with little Charlotte while discussing the specific arrangements for the wedding. From time to time, he looked up to see the progress on Aurora's side. He noticed that her eyes were dull I stared at the letter sent by my brother, feeling a little puzzled, and reminded me aloud.

"It's nothing." Aurora reacted immediately, met the puzzled eyes of the fiancée with clear and open eyes, then lowered her head and continued to read other letters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And Sherlock, who was ruthlessly abandoned by Aurora, was also at 221B Baker Street at the moment. While discussing wedding-related matters with the Watson-to-be couple, he was writing a draft in his heart, and began to think about what he would say in the speech that day.

"Should the napkin be folded into a white swan or the Sydney Opera House?" Sherlock walked back and forth in the living room full of various documents and materials, holding a tray with two different folded patterns of ordinary napkins , His pace was a little fast, making Watson on the side a little dizzy.

"I think the Sydney Opera House is better." Mary was obviously surprised by Sherlock's new skill, and then asked back, and blocked the excuse he made up before Sherlock lied, "Where did you learn it?" What you got? Don’t tell me that it’s a necessary skill in the field of criminal investigation, and don’t tell me that it’s related to a certain previous case. I’m not John, and you can’t fool me.”
