[Sherlock Holmes + Shenxia] Mirror Theory

After all, Li Mingye calmed down quickly after he was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves.She nodded to Mycroft, turned her head and whispered hello to the Lees, then walked to the opposite side of Mycroft with the cup of latte and sat down.

"Thank you very much for your coffee, Mr. Holmes." Li Mingye showed her usual "sincere and gentle" mask to him, and at the same time looked at this Mycroft of this world as quietly as possible.

The Mycroft of this world looked very well-proportioned at this moment, and was also extremely tall, on par with Sherlock.He has curly black hair with a reddish brown, and a pair of deep and bright eyes with a very calm expression, as if nothing would move him.This is a man who makes people feel stable and calm at a glance, and his gestures are also very graceful, which can be called a model of a British gentleman.

Li Mingye's eyes flicked over Mycroft very quickly—under the situation that she had deliberately suppressed, even if there were turbulent waves in her heart, she could still behave very calmly.

Gun calluses, faint traces of earphones on the ears, a posture that is alert enough to observe everything at any time, scars on the neck that have almost faded away, muscle lines that are still faintly visible under the suit...

The Mycroft of this world is really an agent? ? ?

So I still don't know my brother well enough?You know, in the past, unless there was a financial crisis in Britain—no, even when Mycroft noticed the signs of the outbreak of the First World War in 1895, he never saw Mycroft take a step more !

It's really unscientific...it's a weird world.You know, the former Mr. Holmes had spent all his life trying to get Mycroft to overcome his laziness and condescend to make his elder brother visit him.

Reminiscent of the fact that Li Weiyi was approaching Yali's figure at this time, Li Mingye suddenly became very interested in this Mycroft.According to her observation of Sherlock, some characteristics of their soul essence have not changed, so it is the difference of experience that caused this Mycroft to become a rigorously trained agent, even... with Muscular lines?

Li Mingye swears that he has never seen such a thing on his brother!

Mycroft also smiled.This pair of men and women is simply a model of fake smiles, and I am afraid that no one can smile more gently and politely than them.He said: "Miss Li seems very surprised? Although I believe that my younger brother will not have any good comments on his elder brother, it is still very surprising that he can mention that he has an elder brother."

"He didn't mention you. Your identity is my guess." Li Mingye picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. The too rich taste made her movements imperceptible, and she put the cup down, and Mycroft noticed it carefully, and called the waiter for her. "Black coffee, two pieces of candy, thank you... I believe you have read the "Monograph on the Human Ear" that I co-published with Sherlock, and there are enough detailed descriptions of the similarities in the shape of the ear pinna formed by blood relationship. So I I conclude that you and Sherlock must be related by blood. And the label of your couture suit betrays you, MH... is related by blood, and your surname begins with H, so I would venture to guess that you are a Sherlock Holmes."

Mycroft took a deep look at her. Although he didn't show anything, Li Mingye could feel his surprise.He praised: "It's a bold guess. I think Ms. Li must be very compatible with Sherlock? Sherlock is relatively naive, and sometimes Ms. Li needs to be more tolerant."

Li Mingye was thoughtful: "It seems that Mr. Holmes has already met Sherlock?"

"Miss Li is amazingly smart. Can you tell me about your guess in detail this time?"

"It's actually very simple, it's not worth mentioning. You are wearing a very expensive suit today. You must not have worn it on purpose to meet me, so you should be dressing so solemnly to meet Sherlock. It is already four o'clock in the afternoon , as far as I know, Sherlock has returned to the dormitory this morning, and your trousers have the characteristic creases formed after being soaked in snow, and the brand new leather shoes also have fresh creases caused by short-term walking. All this is not difficult observe."

Li Mingye smiled pleasantly.She kept a good deal of the reasoning behind, but there was no need for it, Mycroft was a wise man, and he could hear her unfinished business—their brothers, for example, were not on good terms.

"Seriously dressed" and "brand new leather shoes" all imply this, and the word "very expensive" also implies... After all, for an agent, no matter how high the salary is, a custom-made set with his own name A suit is also very unnecessary, and having your own name is even more of a failure.

If you are going to meet your long-lost relatives, then it is understandable to dress up solemnly.But to order a suit before meeting them... Then it can only show that they are not familiar with or have a bad relationship, so that people can be treated so cautiously.

And the other party said in his words just now that he wanted her to be more tolerant of Sherlock, and he must have known the conflict between Sherlock and her.Although Sherlock would definitely not say it, Li Mingye would never underestimate Mycroft Holmes.

Mycroft gazed at her with interest, his bright eyes sparkling and softening.He said softly: "Then Miss Li, do you want to hear my conjecture?"

"Appreciate further details."

"Gender Identity Disorder." Mycroft's voice softened, the rapidity of his voice almost reduced to a whimper. "And a certain degree of persecution paranoia. You are confident and self-confident enough, Miss Li, and you have strong reason and self-control, so you can attract Sherlock. You are like a puzzle. I began to look forward to the future Political exchanges with your brother, I heard you had a conversation with him before you became what you are now?"

Li Mingye's pupils suddenly shrank.

Mycroft No matter which Holmes is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous figure, especially now that he is no longer her brother.

They look at problems from different angles.Facing a puzzle, Sherlock and Li Mingye thought of seeking knowledge and solving it, while Mycroft and Li only thought of... control.

As expected of Mycroft.

Li Mingye has no doubt that when she talked with the Li couple just now, Mycroft has been observing the three of them, and thus has drawn many conclusions.And the conclusions he's throwing out now are definitely not all, and the frightening thing is that she can't fully guess what he saw.

But very fortunately... she also found his weakness.

"Sherlock." She smiled, calm. "Does he know that you are actually a good brother who treats him very tenderly? It would be a pity if he keeps misunderstanding you."

Mycroft looked at this cunning woman, his face remained motionless, but Li Mingye, who was able to observe meticulously and concentrated all his attention, could tell that his muscles were tense for a moment, but he immediately relaxed forcibly, returning to the It's just a leisurely posture.

The two confronted each other peacefully for a moment, and Mycroft finally showed a more gentle smile.

Li Mingye is confident.Sherlock valued her very much and would not tolerate Mycroft threatening her through her parents, and Li Weiwei was far away in China, and Mycroft's hand could not reach so far.

In fact, it wouldn't have aroused her resentment had it not been for Mycroft's veiled demands on her to do certain things - most likely to accompany Sherlock or make peace with him or something.

A Sherlock Holmes is naturally proud and conceited, and it is impossible to succumb to any threat.

No matter what kind of threat.

Li Mingye finally understands why the relationship between Sherlock and Mycroft in this world is not good... Even she, with her only empathy for Li, can't tolerate the heinous behavior of Mycroft. Want to control.

I really don't know what kind of childhood shadows can create such a Mycroft... Be an agent, build muscles, and have a strong desire for control.Li Mingye couldn't help but spit out a little in his heart, and secretly vowed to tell Li Weiyi about what happened today, and then gloated about it.

"I'm very pleased that Sherlock has a friend like you, at least I don't have to worry about him doing something too dangerous because he's too boring." Mycroft's face was very gentle at the moment, full of joy, almost like Like an ordinary older brother who is happy for his younger brother.He summoned the waiter, signaled to pay the bill, and settled the table for the Li couple together, then he stood up with a very regretful expression. "It's a pity that I have to leave because I'm so busy with mundane affairs. Otherwise, talking with Ms. Li is really a refreshing thing."

Li Mingye blinked, stood up cooperatively and said goodbye to him, and before Mycroft left, he even remembered nodding to the Li couple who had been looking in this direction...

- What a politician's face.

Li Mingye took a picture of himself against the bright glass.She took off her coat a long time ago, and what is now exposed is the black lady's suit inside. The smooth cut and narrow waist and narrow legs design make her slender, showing a simple and neat charm.She returned to the Li couple thoughtfully, and said calmly: "If you go shopping these days... I think it's better to buy some skirts."

She's a woman after all, isn't she?Should have gotten used to it by now.

The next day is December 12, but this Christmas Eve seems determined to make something happen.

In the morning, the weather was clear and the temperature jumped to about 10°C. The Li couple excitedly took Li Mingye to go shopping——for what she said yesterday, they bought a lot of skirts, and they were all very expensive—but Unexpectedly, around two o'clock in the afternoon, the strong wind cooled down, and the temperature dropped below -1° all the way.Li Mingye has decades of living experience in this uncertain country, she immediately suggested to go back home, which was adopted by the Li family.

Fortunately, they ran fast... After Li Mingye returned to his dormitory with the big bags and small bags, he read a book for a while, and finally turned on the air conditioner before starting to tidy up the closet.When everything was cleared up, the sky outside was already dark, and the twilight merged, and sporadic snowflakes had already begun to fall on the sky.

The academy was very quiet at this time.Few windows in the dormitory building are lit in the dark night—Christmas is a holiday for family reunion, and few people are willing to stay in school during the 40-day long holiday.At this moment, this almost oldest university in the world exudes a quiet charm like a ruin, and has lost its fresh popularity. Oxford University seems to be sealed in a thick history again.

Li Mingye walked to the window with a cup of black coffee in his hand and looked in the direction of Sherlock's dormitory.The window was still lit, and she seemed to see Sherlock's thin figure still writing at his desk.She thought of their conflict the day before yesterday.

Although Li Mingye still didn't quite understand why Sherlock was angry, Mr. Li knew it.The successful businessman with outstanding emotional intelligence was really worried about his daughter. As soon as Mycroft left, he immediately "interrogated" Li Mingye.

After getting the unadorned objective truth from Li Mingye, Mr. Li couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to the young man he had never met.He hurriedly reasoned with Li Mingye earnestly, trying to make Li Mingye understand that for Sherlock, this book that both of them put their hard work into is very important, so it is hard for him to accept that she left halfway. ...

Mrs. Li dotes on her daughter without a bottom line, so there is often a trace of dissatisfaction with Sherlock being so arrogant in her eyes - in her opinion, there are too many people in this world who are willing to support Mingming, why bother? Go small and condescend.And that Sherlock, who doesn't know the general idea, doesn't know how to behave!

Poor Mr. Li had to instill knowledge of interpersonal communication in Li Mingye, and he had to appease Mrs. Li, so he was too busy.

In fact, Li Mingye already understood what Mr. Li said halfway through.

They are the same person after all.The same arrogance, the same intelligence, and the same narcissism.And he is much luckier than Sherlock. Before he came into contact with the outside world, he was surrounded by his parents and Mycroft, who managed to let him at least put on a mask and his most important childhood and adolescence. Never lacking in companionship.

And Sherlock...

Li Mingye thought about it for a while. If he was thrown into the outside world at the age of 5, or entered middle school at the age of 11, and then quickly shaped a series of conditions in his brain through simulation modeling, and finally started to calculate——

lonely.

Yes, alone... very lonely.

She won't have friends because she's so out of place among ordinary people.Also watching Grimm's fairy tales, other children are watching Snow White and the prince get married, she will start to analyze the possibility that the prince is a necrophilia.It is also painting, other children use large blocks of paint to draw paintings that they don’t know what they are, and she will take a whole box of pencils with different B numbers and start to copy plaster figures...

Goethe once said: "A person not only makes himself up by everything he is born with, but by everything he gets from learning." But for her and Sherlock, learning a new knowledge is so important. Simple and fast... Ordinary people need to practice, think, and ponder new knowledge. For them, it is as simple as taking things out of their pockets.

So they are doomed to have no friends.No one can keep up with Holmes, and a Holmes who has not been carved into a competent gentleman will not cast his eyes on mediocrity.Their eyes are always chasing new knowledge, like a hungry sponge absorbing all the water, never caring about the thirsty sand around them.

And such a lonely Sherlock met Li Mingye, what would he think?

Li Mingye immediately understood.

Because they fit together so well, they became friends, so they eagerly and unreservedly shared everything about themselves, including the most "id" thinking palace for a Sherlock Holmes.When Sherlock looked at her, he didn't even look at a person, a friend's eyes... He looked at him with all the social feeling he needed, like someone who has walked alone in the night for a long time and met another of his kind.

Maybe he didn't see her as a person.She is more like a symbol, covering all Sherlock's sense of identity, desire to communicate, curiosity... That's why he can't tolerate her indifference towards "The Art of Logic".

Such an attitude is certainly wrong, but what can she say?She wasn't much better either.

Li Mingye smiled bitterly.

If Sherlock sees her as a symbol, why doesn't she see Sherlock?

Suddenly came to another world, turned into a woman, doubted her own existence, and then even her existence was obliterated, her former name and future no longer belonged to her.Li Mingye should feel that he is already an old man who has worn out his sharpness, otherwise he might have killed Sherlock with a knife.

Even as she tried to adjust, she was still out of balance with Sherlock.

She also sees Sherlock as a symbol.She taught Sherlock patiently every day, and watched Sherlock grow into that consulting detective day by day, as if watching her dream shine through the young shell.Why didn't she regard Sherlock as a sustenance?

Maybe in the future she will also investigate cases together with Sherlock, but now... She watched Sherlock do the things that were hovering in her heart but didn't say it, watched Sherlock do the things that she once wanted to do but never did, I can't help being a little envious of his loneliness and purity.She looked at him many times, such as the heroic dream in her tired life, and the pure soul inside who was not bound by the English education.

So she never regarded Sherlock as an independent "person", although her attitude was more lenient.

All I can say is, are they the same person?They all regard each other as their own vassals, and symbolize it without knowing it, thinking that they have given each other great glory...

But after all, the experience is different, the age is different, and the ideas are no longer the same.

She glanced at the still-lit window, turned back and poured out the cold coffee, then went through the wardrobe and changed into a whole new set of clothes - she believed Sherlock could see that they were new ——To show solemnity, when he was about to open the door to leave, he suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone and searched temporarily, and his expression suddenly became a little weird.

Then she walked to the sofa, opened a stack of thick newspapers, and pulled out the rosewood cigar case secretly hidden by Mrs. Li who loved her daughter.

Although she didn't quite understand why Mrs. Li thought she would not be able to find the cigarette case, she didn't think too much, put on her coat and walked to Sherlock's dormitory.

The author has something to say:

The dialogue between Fu and Mai Ge in the original book is really brain-burning.The author almost cried and fainted in the office, some hinted that there was no roll call in the article, and the author was too lazy to write.

After thinking about it, I decided to write an analysis.

In the beginning of the conversation, Mai Ge inspected Yuan Zhufu's IQ. Yuan Zhu Fu proved his IQ and said that he had never heard Mai Ge's name from Juan Fu. This was a small temptation.

Mai Ge heard it, and began to threaten the original book Fu to be a nanny with words, and hinted that although he has a bad relationship with Juan Fu, he has his own channel to know all the information around Juan Fu. (The key words "must" and "need" are the language gestures of the superior.)

The original Fu heard it, but because of the original Mai Ge, he was not very willing to accept the move, and turned to show off his IQ again.

Maggie accepted.

The original blessing implies that the relationship between Juan Fu and Mai Ge is very strange, but Mai Ge attaches great importance to Juan Fu, so the value of the original Fu is very large (key hints: an expensive set of outfits, custom-made, new shoes)

In fact, although these two people have hinted here and there, the specific meaning is that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. If you are willing to turn your face completely, firstly because you are on someone else’s land, and secondly because of empathy), then the two people can still have a pleasant conversation. It looks very tepid.

But Maige quit. Maige had just been promoted from an agent, and he was more murderous (the body has not yet begun to lose shape, specifically implying muscle lines), and he directly turned his face and threatened.

Mai Ge said that I checked you, and I can also observe your mental illness (powerful oppression), and I know your brother (the word "politics" means that Mai Ge has at least heard of the original Mai Ge), so I should do things for me. my brother's nanny

Original Fu: ... I eat lemons, get lost! (The author does not want to continue to analyze, flip the table, and take care of the spirit by himself)

Probably this is the analysis

The author is already a salted fish

Let's go back to the elementary school student dialogue in the original Fujuanfu, I can't stand it

In addition, as far as the text is written, there is no relationship between the two Sherlock Holmes.

Not even friendship...they didn't see each other as human beings.

Personally, I think friendship is an emotion that is truly tolerant and open to differences.

Obviously not between them.

Well, the next chapter will tackle this legacy issue, and there will be a case!
