[Sherlock Holmes + Shenxia] Mirror Theory

If there was anything that could make Sherlock and Li Mingye feel worse than the weather in London at the same time, it would be Mycroft's visit the next day.

When Mycroft opened the door and entered this ward, Sherlock was hugging his violin and contemplating something, while Li Mingye pushed his own IV stand, smoking a cigarette in front of the window——in the face of stubbornness, he did not hesitate at all. Shirley, who cared about her injury, Sherlock finally chose to give in, although he repeatedly emphasized that the rapid heartbeat and blood pressure caused by nicotine are not conducive to wound healing.

But the old and cunning former consulting detective finally carried out her will. She happily leaned against the window with a cigarette in her mouth, happily smoking her first cigarette in two days.It is worth mentioning that the windows in this ward are well positioned, even if there are snipers from the outside world, there is no perspective to shoot. She guessed that this is one of the reasons why Mycroft used it as a safe house.

But Mycroft's visit instantly broke the peaceful atmosphere.They both glanced at Mycroft at the same time - three-piece suit, black umbrella, smiling, like any very well-bred English gentleman.But both of them clearly saw something in Mycroft's calm appearance.

"Just finished the meeting?" Sherlock raised an eyebrow.

"Good day, the English breakfast obviously suits your appetite." Li Mingye greeted with a smile.

"Good night is more appropriate, he stayed up all night." Sherlock sneered.

"I know, Sherlock, don't be too rude. Mr. Holmes obviously went to the embassy. I hope I haven't caused you any trouble, but the matter of Moran has come to an end? This really surprises me." Lee Ming Ye nodded perfunctorily to express her apology, but no one with eyes would think she was serious.

Sherlock took a deep breath: "It seems that the intelligence head of MI6 who has recently changed a secretary is having a hard time? When are you going to fire your third secretary?" He curled his lips in disgust, "If you don't know Rigid work and rest habits, I would think you just came out of the red light district."

"..." Mycroft, who had already been shot a series of times without saying a word, maintained the smile on his face, and said to Li Mingye: "About the case of Moran, I have some thoughts and would like to ask Ms. Li. "

Li Mingye looked at him, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.She put out the cigarette butt casually, and said to Mycroft, "Please tell me."

Mycroft took out the video recorder that Li Mingye had brought into the den of thieves from his pocket, and directly pressed the play button—the short journey with no image but only sound echoed in the room again.Li Mingye listened silently until finally, she heard Moran's voice.

"...he saw through the trick of the croupier in my DU game to give me cards, and then he kept pestering me—I didn't want to make trouble, but this little mole who wanted to die yelled at me, saying that if I don't Ken stop this little game and tell me about my practice... oh, it's a threat, and I'm in self-defense..."

It is difficult to describe the expression on the usually calm and pretty face.A look of frustration and annoyance flashed across her face for a moment, and she stared at the video recorder in disbelief.

"He didn't admit it directly." Sherlock had already heard it.

Mycroft smiled and said: "Yes. Mr. Moran refused to admit that he murdered Mr. Adel, and claimed that he had no relationship with those D's. At the same time, he said that he shot Ms. Li in self-defense—— After all, Ms. Li is strong and strong, and she subdued his friend Mr. Douglas."

Li Mingye paced anxiously in the same spot, and said loudly, "Shameless, nonsense! Could it be that I flew to the Collins Gunners Club by myself?"

"Molan's henchmen didn't catch them all. They forged the record of 'Morgana' appearing in the club-the record of this French lady's SHE shooting is very good." Mycroft leisurely knocked on the umbrella with his umbrella. Knocking on the ground, "And Ms. Li obviously doesn't want to admit that she is 'Morgana', does she?"

Li Mingye said nothing.If she wanted to obtain this feat with her own identity, she didn't need to disguise herself at all, but she didn't want to do that. "Mojana" was originally the identity she planned to use to appear in the dark world of London. After this matter was completed, she should have disappeared temporarily, and it would save her the trouble of being tracked down, so she didn't bother to handle these things at all. matter.

The only people who know that "Morgana" is Shirley Lee are Mycroft, Sherlock, Lestrade, and an official at the embassy, ​​and that official is Lee's only confidant.

"I have to admit my omission and apologize to you for it." Li Mingye took a deep breath and stared at Mycroft—the girl who had been smooth sailing for a long time finally stopped showing her politeness A polite mask.She looked at Mycroft almost through gritted teeth, her face darkened. "You and I both know that this is just an insignificant matter. With your noble status, you must be able to handle it well."

Mycroft observed Li Mingye's rare out of breath with great interest, and said with a smile, "Ms. Li seems to have great confidence in my ability? I'm just a small government servant, and I'm just a low-ranking official in the British government. .”

Sherlock finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Mycroft, you have gained enough benefits from the Moran case!" He quickly looked at his own brother, and quickly began to make trouble: "Although you have survived night, but refreshed, I know you, you only condescend to break your rigid routine when something is going really well, and you don't even mind going to the dentist this afternoon and buying Ordered your favorite cake, it all shows that you are in a good mood, and that some of your plans are going well--Is war again, Mycroft? I don't mind anyway, stay safe We don’t have to worry about traffic jams if we have nothing to do at home!”

Mycroft was unmoved.He knew that Li Mingye could see this, but this more scheming lady obviously didn't intend to use this as an excuse to say anything.He just smiled without saying a word, and even pressed his hand to Sherlock in a comforting manner.

Li Mingye sneered: "It's just a matter of identity, I'm not afraid."

"I need the help of the French embassy to reissue my identity." Mycroft smiled.

Li Mingye was silent for a while, and finally sighed in compromise, and said, "I think Scotland Yard is the best laboratory for every student who studies criminal psychology."

Mycroft received a satisfactory answer, and his smile instantly became more real.He nodded in satisfaction, and thoughtfully mentioned that he would have some "insignificant things" to be busy in a while, and then left - before closing the door, the British gentleman said to Li Mingye meaningfully: "Please ask Mike for me. Greetings from Mr. Li."

After Mycroft left, Li Mingye's face was so dark that it could surpass the limit of human race.With a gloomy face, she seemed to be trying to hold her hands together habitually, but was awakened by the pain.She stood in front of the window without saying a word for 5 minutes, smoking four or five cigarettes in big gulps.

Sherlock could clearly see Li Mingye's undisguised frustration and anger, but he didn't feel that this woman, who was stronger and calmer than a man, needed any comfort.So he just calmly pulled out another book from the shelf beside him, and just as he was about to turn the first page, he heard Shirley let out a long breath.

"I made a mistake, because I wasn't paying attention to what Moran said at the time. I didn't consider whether I would leave myself a retreat when a vicious villain was about to be raided." She fell silent. , Said in a very calm tone. "The exhaustion and lack of concentration during a woman's menstrual period, as well as deducing the plans that have been implemented by the outside world, greatly occupied my energy at that time. This incident taught me a lesson, Sherlock. If I During the case, if you are very absent-minded and arrogant, you just need to say 'Molan' to me, and I will be very grateful to you."

Sherlock was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "Do you want to use the identity 'Mojana' in the future?"

"A false identity is as necessary to me as my violin, Sherlock."

"You and Mycroft just made a deal about me right in front of me, Shirley, do I have to remind you that the people involved in this deal are still sitting around without a cup of coffee ?”

Li Mingye snorted, and didn't intend to get used to him at all, so he rang the bell and called the nurse.She thought of the deal just now, and her face became stern again: "A perfect identity and Moran's finalization can be exchanged for the political advantage of Mr. 'Little Clerk', as well as an early acquisition of a criminal mind for Scotland Yard." A true expert in science—a harmonious and wonderful transaction, isn’t it? Mr. Holmes, who is involved in the transaction, why didn’t you just speak up for justice?”

Sherlock smirked indifferently: "I'm used to Mycroft using any means to bribe people around me and ask them to accompany me. At least we're still friends, and you're not stupid." The implication— —Why should I refuse something that is good for me?

Li Mingye choked for a moment, and reluctantly shut up on this question.Looking at the sunshine outside, he suddenly sighed: "Although I am not very proficient in politics, I can make a prediction—in the next few days, the international exchanges between two countries will inevitably be very intense. I don't want to say the names of these two countries at this moment, but I know that one of their citizens speaks Chinese and the other speaks English."

Both Sherlock and Li Mingye are not people who pay attention to politics. Unless there is a case involving political events, the two of them will make up for some basic knowledge (such as who the prime minister is) temporarily.But even so, the two of them soon realized the consequences of Li Mingye's momentary negligence.

Li Weiwei called the next day, and after inquiring about Li Mingye's physical condition, he claimed that he had lost an opportunity "enough to make me a minister three years earlier", but then he comforted his sister , I am "not interested in missiles."

Of course Li Mingye was aware of his brother's tactful encouragement and ridicule, but it was obviously a huge mistake to be taken advantage of by others.Fortunately, Li Weiwei is not a person who likes to chatter, so he just gave a few words of encouragement in a flat manner - from Li Weiwei's attitude, Li Mingye was very keen to find that his brother obviously already knew about Moran.

She was not surprised at all that her brother would put intelligence personnel in the UK, but fortunately, Li Weiyi never cared about her affairs.Out of revenge for Mycroft, she chatted with Sherlock about her brother for a while after hanging up the phone, and Sherlock understood what she meant.

After living in the ward for a full month, both Li Mingye and Sherlock were bored beyond description.For these two people, a whole month of idling is probably more terrifying than being pointed at by a hundred (harmony) guns. A healthy Sherlock can at least do his "terrible" and "anti-human" (nurse) Li Mingye, a disabled person, was not so lucky. She could only stand aside and criticize Sherlock's experiment.

The nurses who cleaned the rooms for the two changed 36 nurses in one month. At the end of the month, the nurses almost left the ward crying.If Sherlock's bullet-like cynicism is enough to make people uncomfortable, Li Mingye's polite and mean words are as powerful as poisonous arrows-don't doubt, a person who is so boring that he goes crazy and is full of attacks Sexual Sherlock Holmes, and a Shirley Lee with one hand wrapped in a plaster cast is very handicapped and has nothing to do...

Not even Mycroft wanted to set foot in this ward.

And a month later, Moran's henchmen were wiped out, and the two were finally able to withdraw from this ward and end their month-long cohabitation.Not even Mycroft was willing to comment on this disastrous cohabitation - these two could turn a good ward into ruins!

Two people with quite similar behavior habits often blame each other, such as the big hole in the thick and high-grade cashmere carpet in the ward. By the time the cigarette butts had been swept away.They even made a series of almost nonsensical reasoning about it. Neither of them would admit that they had accidentally burned the carpet, and they argued for about two hours.

After listening to the content of the dispute relayed by the monitoring agent, Mycroft turned his head and called a member of parliament, agreeing to support the implementation of the "No Smoking Law".

If one wasn't his own brother, and the other was his brother's closest opposite sex besides his mother, Mycroft really wanted to send these two childish ghosts to Afghanistan to vent their exuberant energy.In particular, he can clearly observe that these two people are deliberately picking things up with each other, so that they can quarrel to pass the time.

A month later, Sherlock couldn't wait to head straight to Scotland Yard, not even bothering to take his own luggage back to his new apartment - it's worth mentioning that he moved again.And Li Mingye wore her plaster arm, and took the train back to Oxford that day.

The two never paid attention to the things that had been resolved, so they found out that Moran was sentenced to 359 years in prison when they watched the news a few days later.Sherlock didn't care about this, but Li Mingye was stunned for a while with a complicated expression.

Morgan 120, Moran 359.She crossed these two names off the list in her heart, and began to plan how to catch the next bastard who was going to be sent to prison.

At this time, Li Mingye was walking in the botanical garden in Oxford - she usually didn't like the meaningless activity of walking, but after being locked up for a month, she had to agree to bring fresh plants with her. How important the fragrant air is, walking in the botanical garden has become one of the regular itineraries this week.She walked very comfortably while smoking a cigarette.

Until when she was about to pass a corner, she moved the tip of her nose - a very faint smell of blood was sent into her nose by the sudden change of wind direction.

Li Mingye stopped in his tracks instantly.

The leisurely demeanor disappeared in an instant, and she immediately became energized. She quickly followed the direction of the bloody smell, and at the same time carefully observed any details around her - the bloody smell came from the road about ten meters away from the right side of the road. in the bushes.She walked quickly on the soft grass, and while taking out the magnifying glass in her pocket, she carefully observed the bushes, and even used the magnifying glass to look carefully at the blood-stained leaves in the bushes several times.Finally she even got down on the ground and began to look at the soft and tough green grass inch by inch.

When she felt that everything was understood, she pushed aside the bushes.

As she expected, a woman's corpse was lying loose among the overgrown plants in a very tragic posture.

Li Mingye stared at the miserable female corpse for about ten seconds, with a delicate expression on his face, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, saying: "Finally, there is something to do... Even though it's not kind to think so, I'm still very happy I can help you, madam."
