[Shen Xia + HP] In the name of a detective

Chapter 155 Dark Cloud Overwhelms the City

A few minutes later, Mycroft came to visit and warned Sherlock not to meddle in the disappearance of the girl.

"No one can control this matter, and of course you are no exception." Mycroft's tone was a little harsh.

"Reason?" Obviously Sherlock would not give up easily.

"Eighteen girls disappeared one after another. Scotland Yard didn't dare to say a word about such a big incident. All government officials are also whitewashing the peace. Don't tell me you can't guess the reason." Mycroft Holding the handle of the black umbrella tightly, he lost his usual relaxed and indifferent demeanor.

Yes, what kind of strength can make Lestrade keep secret and dare not speak out, make Mrs. Charlotte not dare to call the police after losing her beloved daughter, make Mycroft visit in person order?

"Someone connected with the most powerful people in England, in short, the royal family," Sherlock replied.

Mycroft frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with Sherlock saying so openly: "Moriarty is watching us secretly, since you know this matter is out of control, then..."

"Since this case is so interesting, then I have no reason to give up." Sherlock put the double-sided mirror properly in his right hand pocket, got up and walked around Mycroft, and went downstairs with the mirror.

Aurora was right. Although this disappearance case involved a lot and seemed complicated, it was actually not difficult to investigate.It took Sherlock less than six hours to find the place where the missing girls were held.

This is an ancient castle located in the eastern suburbs of London. It is located in a forest, and few people come to it on weekdays. Naturally, no one knows the existence of this ancient castle.This ancient castle is a typical European ancient building with clear lines and strict symmetry.The pure white exterior wall and the dark blue roof are simple but yet majestic, revealing a mysterious atmosphere faintly.

The eighteen girls were imprisoned in the dungeon, with a chain on one wrist, thin and pale.When Sherlock arrived, these girls were looking at the person who was filming them with a camera, with desperate despair in their eyes.

The person who took pleasure in taking photos of the girls in captivity, that is, the identity of the owner of this mysterious castle, was, as Sherlock expected, one of the royal dignitaries of Great Britain, Eason Field (Eason Field).

It's just that before Shylock rescued the eighteen girls, he himself was locked in the castle, and then the gate of the castle never opened again.

At the same time, Mycroft Holmes, who claimed to be a "minor government clerk" but actually held a high position, was dismissed because of trumped-up charges.

"Aurora", who was imprisoned in the MI[-] prison, remained silent, and the Watsons, who were traveling around Europe, seemed to have heard nothing about it.

Since then, those who dared to fight against Moriarty either disappeared or could not take care of themselves, and no one could stop his plot to overthrow the British government.

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

What happened later was unexpected and caught everyone by surprise.People all over the UK remember the situation in those few days: they stared at the news pages on their computers or mobile phones, and kept refreshing the pages, for fear that they would miss any important information.

On the day when Sherlock disappeared and Mycroft was dismissed, the details of the girl's disappearance broke out on the Internet, including who was behind the scenes, how Mrs. Charlotte was threatened, and how the other family members involved were involved. There is nowhere to ask for help, how Sherlock disappeared inexplicably in the process of tracing the truth, and how Mycroft was implicated by his younger brother and then accepted dismissal.

After such news was released, the whole country was shocked.Many people have expressed such a thing, let them feel very disappointed.Later, all the news on the news was confirmed, but the real identity of the person who posted the news was nowhere to be found.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Sherlock, who was under house arrest in the castle, was finally able to see the light of day again, and Mycroft was also found innocent after the investigation, and the official was reinstated.

From the looks of it, they were driven to a desperate situation and had a glimmer of hope.

Not long after this incident, some members of the House of Commons proposed a "no-confidence motion" to the government and implemented the "power of overturning the cabinet" to the cabinet.As soon as the news was disseminated, the House of Representatives immediately organized a meeting, and the "no-confidence motion" was voted through.

In the face of the "no-confidence motion" that has already been passed, either the cabinet will resign under the leadership of the prime minister and then re-form a cabinet, so as to at least ensure the status of the ruling party; or the prime minister will propose to the head of state to dissolve the parliament and hold a new general election.

The latter approach is very risky, and if the prime minister's party still has a majority in parliament after the parliament is reconstituted, the prime minister can use this to retain his position.But if the prime minister's party no longer has a majority, they will lose their ruling status completely.

Every pair of eyes in the UK, and even the whole world, are closely watching the Prime Minister's every move to see what choice he will make.

That night, all members of the cabinet stayed up all night and called together for an emergency meeting.Early the next morning, the tired Prime Minister proposed to the Queen to dissolve the Parliament and call for a new general election.Once the news came out, there was a sensation all over the country.It seems that he is going to give it a go, even at the risk of losing his party's ruling status, and try his best to keep himself and the current cabinet members.

The head of state is still under the pressure of public opinion, the parliament is about to be dissolved, and the party of the prime minister and the cabinet may also lose their ruling status.In such a situation, all three losers.

More importantly, Mycroft Holmes, who just got rid of his false accusation and returned to his post, really lost his position as a "minor government clerk" because of the dissolution of the parliament.

Who is in the best interest of this situation?

Who is the most convenient to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of this situation?

There is only one answer: James Moriarty.

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

No matter how the situation outside changed, Aurora Hopps was always locked in the MI[-] prison.Whether Mycroft Holmes is in the House of Commons or not, he is always the head of MI[-].At this moment, he was standing leisurely outside the cell, admiring the "masterpiece" made by Aurora with Sherlock.

Looking at the empty cell, Mycroft gave a rare smile, pointed at the two guards at the door, and joked: "It seems that my MI[-] is not all-pervasive, Aurora can really do nothing Effortlessly escaped without disturbing these two people at all."

"It's so strange that two confusion spells can solve it." Sherlock, who had read the books in Hopps Manor, looked contemptuous, as if he was laughing at his brother's fuss.

"Aurora's trick actually fooled Moriarty, without a single flaw." Mycroft's voice could hear approval.

"Otherwise, how could she become your ace agent of MI[-]." Sherlock's tone was not only approving, but also a little smug and a little proud, as if Mycroft had just praised himself.

"Aurora discussed her plan with you before?" Mycroft couldn't help but wonder when Sherlock showed such a tacit understanding that there was no deviation from what Aurora had imagined.

"I don't know." Sherlock replied, the corners of his mouth were bent undisguisedly, and the corners of his eyes and brows were also smiling. If there was a small tail behind him, it must have been up to the sky by now. .”

"I don't have a colorful phoenix or two flying wings, but I have a clear mind." Mycroft pointed out the source without any effort.

"Without a colorful phoenix and two flying wings..." Sherlock couldn't help repeating this sentence again, and then asked, "Have you read ancient Chinese poems?"

"Read "Three Hundred Tang Poems" once, but it only takes ten or six minutes." Mycroft regained his usual composure.

"Ten six minutes?" Sherlock had disgust written all over his face.

"Sherlock, as I said, you are middle-aged." Mycroft laughed at himself, and then began to tease Sherlock again. I don’t have a colorful phoenix and wings anymore. It seems that my mother is right, her wish to find a daughter-in-law has finally come true.”

"Body without Colorful Phoenix and Flying Wings" comes from Li Shangyin's "Untitled Last Night Stars Last Night Wind", describing the longing, the pain of lovesickness, and the regret that I don't have the wings like a colorful phoenix that can fly to the other party's side.

"If my memory is not wrong, my mother's wish is to have two daughters-in-law, and the probability of my memory being wrong is 0%." , I can't have two partners at the same time, so I conclude that Mom also wants you to take a wife home."

Mycroft was uncharacteristically, as if he had thought of something and was in a daze.

"You didn't refute me, oh, it seems that the actor named Vita Watman is about to become my sister-in-law." Sherlock immediately saw the clue.

Mycroft coughed lightly: "Now is not the time to have such meaningless conversations, have you and Aurora confirmed the next plan?"

"No need to confirm," Sherlock replied. "The royal family, the parliament and the cabinet are all three losers, which is exactly what Moriarty wants to see. I assume we have done so much, except to lure him to appear, and do nothing." There is no other reason."

The author has something to say:

I just got off the night shift and came back to update.

Writing this chapter was very painful for me. I investigated a lot of information about the British political system and history. The middle section may be a little boring, but I can’t skip such an important plot.In short, I still want to emphasize that all content is purely fictitious and for entertainment purposes only, and has no connection with real life. Any similarity is purely coincidental.

Also, you are not mistaken, Mai Ge has entered a relationship line, but I may only write about this in the extra episode.If there are more people who like it, I may write another article for Mai Ge.
