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

The bright smile in the sky gradually faded away, his complexion sank, and changed into a heavy gray and black color, and it would rain at some point.A pile of dark clouds almost filled the entire sky, so heavy that it seemed that they were about to fall from the sky.Passers-by on the street looked up at the sky from time to time, their expressions hurried, and their pace quickened unconsciously.

Aurora's mood was like the weather at the moment, calm on the surface but turbulent undercurrents.She stepped on the accelerator, but her thoughts had drifted far away.After receiving Sherlock's call just now, she immediately changed her wizard robes, put on her coat, and ran downstairs to drive in the direction of the MI[-] headquarters.

Sherlock's tone made her very concerned, it was no different from the past, and it made Aurora feel that she was the only one who was awkward for so many days, but he was not affected by what she said that day at all.But she knew that wasn't the case, and if Sherlock really didn't care at all, there was no need to avoid her all the time.

Maybe he used to care, but now he has changed his mind?After thinking about it, Aurora made such an assumption again.She has heard of Sherlock's thought palace. As long as he wants, he can pack those vague emotions into a folder at any time, stuff them into the recycle bin, and selectively forget them all.

Compared with Sherlock's thoughts at the moment, Aurora is more entangled in her attitude towards him after a while.Do you pretend that nothing happened, as usual, or just communicate with the big boss, turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to him, or put on an attitude that doesn't take this matter seriously at all, and even use it to make fun of him?

Various conceived plans emerged from Aurora's mind one by one, and she marked them with red crosses one by one and rejected them all.

Until Aurora stood in front of Mycroft and Sherlock, the two brothers who were fighting each other, she still hadn't figured out how to deal with it.

Mycroft, who was still fighting with his younger brother, saw Aurora finally appear, his facial expression remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his tone was not much different from his usual one: " Hopps, I'm assuming you've just come back from Antarctica, it's been hard work."

He obviously greeted her with a smile, but it made Aurora feel eerie, and a chill came up from the floor.The tone was also very flat, but in the ears of others, especially Aurora, it was full of sarcasm.

Mycroft stood where he was holding his black umbrella, calm and arrogant.

And Aurora, who is not afraid of anything but the big boss, has always been full of fear of Mycroft, and was suddenly frightened by his powerful aura, and the excuse she had prepared on the road instantly came to her lips Freeze, unable to speak again.She couldn't help shivering, lowered her head and called respectfully, "Mr. Holmes."

"I thought Hopps was a nobleman who was forgetful. He had long forgotten me as a small employee of the British government. I didn't expect to remember my name." Mycroft stared at the man who hadn't seen him for a few days and planned to go to the room. Jiewa's subordinates felt that they had been too indulgent with her before, and now it's time to establish a good rule of thumb.

"Don't dare." Aurora bit her lower lip tightly, her head drooped even lower, and she was so nervous that she could only utter these two words.

Facts have proved that Aurora has considered so much on the road and conceived so many plans on how to deal with Sherlock, which is completely useless.She couldn't handle Big Boss Mycroft alone.The current situation is so passive, how can he "deal with" Sherlock, he is going to be hanged and beaten by these two brothers.

Mycroft didn't speak, and Sherlock, who always liked to show his presence, had been silent since she came over, and the atmosphere was extremely dignified for a while.The agents working outside seem to have felt the atmosphere of "the mountain is about to come and the wind is full of the building" or "the dark clouds are overwhelming the city and the city is about to be destroyed". Those who originally wanted to come in to report the latest situation did not dare to bother .Others also put their heads down and worked more seriously, for fear of being found out by the big boss, or sprayed to death by the venom of the big boss's brother.

Just when Aurora was ready to pack up and leave, and even started to think about how much salary she would get after being fired, Sherlock, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Mycroft, get down to business."

It was rare for Mycroft, who was not called "a fat man with a worrying hairline and mouth full of decayed teeth" by his younger brother, to be obviously satisfied with what Sherlock called him just now, and he understood better what his purpose of calling him was.Seeing Aurora being ridiculed by him, Sherlock wanted to quickly change the subject, but he was desperate to save face and refused to speak directly, so he could only let himself discuss the business as soon as possible.And if he still uses the same address as before, there is no doubt that he will not cooperate with him.

Mycroft looked at Sherlock with warning eyes, reminding him that since he had made a choice between reason and emotion, he should not meddle in Aurora's affairs, then he cleared his throat and turned to the side With her chest up and her belly down, Aurora said, "You are no stranger to the abbreviation JM."

"Yes, Mr. Holmes." Of course Aurora did not dare to make trouble in front of Mycroft, and replied honestly, "In the case of the replacement of senior government officials, the case of Amethyst's surrender, the fairy tale murder case and the serial arson case, including the Chinese He was involved in the case of Li Chengzhi from the Ministry of State Security, and he is suspected to be behind the scenes."

Mycroft easily found a document on his tidy desk, handed it to Aurora, and explained, "Since I first heard the name JM in the Edward Rodriguez case, I Send your men to look for information about him."

The file bag was slightly yellowish in color, but there were no wrinkles on it. The mouth of the bag was originally sealed with wax, and it was covered with the exclusive seal of MI[-].This document had obviously been seen by Mycroft, and the file bag had already been opened.But the dried wax did not break anything, but separated it from the side of the opening of the file pocket.Aurora guessed that it was separated with a knife or other similar sharp objects, and thought to herself, if it was herself, she would probably tear the paper bag open.

Carefully opening the file bag, (she didn't know what would happen if she accidentally damaged the wax seal) Aurora pulled out a stack of files with a thickness of about two centimeters, and was stunned.How could it be possible to finish reading this in a short time, she dared to bet on Sherlock's IQ, the big boss must be deliberately embarrassing her.

Just when Aurora was thinking about whether to look through it in a proper manner or directly ask the big boss for important information, Sherlock suddenly said: "According to the survey, more than 70.00% of the crimes in the whole of the UK are related to him." , especially large-scale criminal activities. Among them, London is the most concentrated, and more than 90.00% of the cases in London are related to this JM."

Naturally, he had also read this document. Seeing Aurora's embarrassed expression, he pulled out a folder from the Palace of Thought and opened it. He sorted out the important information in it for a few seconds, pursed his lips and hesitated. After a while, I still told Aurora.

Mycroft glared at Sherlock again, but of course from an angle that Aurora couldn't see, and he continued: "But this JM's whereabouts are erratic, and no one knows his exact location. Until Not long ago, our personnel determined his next move and almost died because of it."

Sherlock received Mycroft's gaze, and his expression hardly changed at all, as if he didn't see anything.But as an older brother, Mycroft knew him well enough to see his almost imperceptible frown, knowing that it contained a bit of impatience and hesitation.

Mycroft saw Sherlock looking back at him without any hesitation, and also stared into his gray-blue eyes, as if reading from it the words "I can take care of my own affairs, I don't need you to intervene" .

And Aurora, who was standing aside, faced two people she couldn't see through, and her gaze was turning back and forth between the eyes of the two people, expressing that she also couldn't see through their eye contact, so she could only stand still with black lines all over her face. Stand there without saying a word.

Fact #[-]: Communicating with Sherlock Holmes is tiring.

Fact [-]: Mycroft Holmes is more exhausting.

Conclusion: Communicating with Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes at the same time is simply exhausting.

"JM, who has been hiding his whereabouts for a long time, has publicly given clues and left messages during the serial arson cases. This time, he will even ostentatiously go to a dance organized by a member of the House of Lords." Mycroft took the lead to move away from Xia Xia. Locke looked at each other, showing a just right smile, and said.

Like a child, Sherlock, who felt that whoever looked away first would lose, took it for granted that he had won against Mycroft, and mechanically recited the specific information about the ball: "Anthony Hamilton (Anthony Hamilton) , a member of the House of Lords of the British government, a hereditary aristocrat, and her daughter Lucy (Lucy) Hamilton is about to get engaged, so there is a special ball before the engagement ceremony, and this JM is also on the invitation list."

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Aurora felt that there was no need for her to read the documents again, so she stuffed the thick stack of papers into the file bag, intending to return it to the big boss Mycroft, and briefly summarized: "So Holmes Sir wants me to attend this ball, observe secretly, and find JM."

Mycroft did not take the file bag as Aurora expected, but turned the long handle of the black umbrella in his hand, and corrected with some reluctance: "It's you and him."

After finishing speaking, he motioned to Sherlock, and added: "The time for the dance is tomorrow night, read all these materials before then."

Hearing this, Aurora retracted the hand that had been stretched out to return the document bag as if resigned to her fate, and hugged the rather heavy paper bag in her arms.
