[Sherlock Holmes + Shenxia] Mirror Theory

The hospital always has such a condensed and solemn atmosphere.

And the peak of this condensed and solemn atmosphere is undoubtedly outside the operating room.The icy and pale corridors and lights, the cold seats, and the stern red signboard of "in operation" are all enough to freeze the atmosphere that was originally silent as ice water, and finally formed a suffocating, It was bone-chillingly cold like an abyss.

The heating seemed to have never worked, and the faces of the two people waiting quietly in the corridor were pale.One of them is a tall man full of majesty. He wears a rigorous suit and coat that conforms to the aesthetics of a British gentleman. Patients stay away.

And the other is an oriental lady.She looked very young and beautiful, but her face was pale and serious, and her lowered eyelids showed an inhuman indifference.The postures of the two of them have some similarities—they both stood up straight, like soldiers waiting to go to the battlefield, welcoming all the flames of war with the most ruthless attitude.This gesture separated these two people who were not very close from ordinary people at once, and everyone would feel that they came together just by looking at them.

And it is true.

After the bombing on Lexington Avenue (anti-harmony), Li Mingye followed the ambulance straight to this private hospital with a good reputation in the industry, and then she stood outside the operating room as if she had taken root.

While the rest of the wounded on Lexington Avenue were taken to other hospitals, only two were admitted to this rather expensive hospital.She had no doubt that it was Mycroft's arrangement. In fact, she had been to this hospital more than once. The last time she was shot in the Moran incident, she had an operation in this hospital.

And three hours later, Mycroft also came.This senior government official first dealt with this emergency, and activated the contingency plan and anti-riot plan. The rapid response force has also rushed to the scene, and promptly finalized the next media direction—to complete this in a country like the United Kingdom. A series of moves is really difficult, but the media tycoon Magnus is still in the palm of Mycroft, which makes this set of punches can be played smoothly.

Those in the know have to admire Mycroft Holmes's steel-like nerves and robot-like efficiency, but only he himself knows that at the moment of the explosion (anti-harmony) explosion, "Heart of the Empire", "Iceman" , "The only man who can confront China's 'intelligent brain'" gaffe.

And the person who brought back Mr. Mycroft Holmes' sanity was none other than Jim Moriarty, who quickly dispatched troops after he took over the authority of the monitoring room, in order to assassinate him quickly.

Mr. Jim Moriarty laughed loudly at the surveillance camera. He held up his mobile phone, and there was a video on the screen of the mobile phone—an insider would know at a glance that this video came from a sniper with an infrared sight ( Anti-harmony) Shotgun.Even though the field of vision is full of messy thermal images that have just experienced an explosion, the infrared light sources of the two figures in the alley are still stable and clear.

Although both Mycroft and Li Mingye knew it well, it might just be because the two died not long ago, and their body temperature hadn't had time to drop in the future, or it might even be because of the transmission of the surrounding temperature when the explosion just started——but Who can refuse this glimmer of life?Mycroft, who is as cold as a machine, can't, so Li Mingye can't even more.They both knew it was a threat, but in case the guy who took the video fired, and Sherlock and John...they couldn't defend themselves, at least for now.

It has to be said that Sherlock and John were very lucky, or John's battlefield intuition as a veteran played a role-he threw Sherlock down in time, and pulled Sherlock to hide in a narrow alley, The two huddled on the ground, avoiding the biggest source of damage after the explosion (anti-harmony): the fragments of the taxi, the attack like a goddess scattering flowers, but the violent roar still made the two of them faint. Fragments of the strands also took their toll on both of them.At that moment, each fragment is like a bullet, fortunately they curled up close to the ground, otherwise thousands of penetrating wounds would make them two sieves.

And the momentary heat and loud noises took their toll too—thanks to these two men, one brilliant and the other battle-hardened.They opened their mouths wide for the first time to neutralize the pressure on the eardrums, while the cold London night minimized the heat damage.And the remaining small bursts of explosions and flames—such as the continuous burning of fragments of the fuel tank all over the floor, etc.—caused them to escape fortunately.

This made the two people waiting outside the operating room thank the design of those narrow alleys more than once, even though the narrow alley they chose fell into the field of vision of the sniper (anti-harmony) shooter arranged by Mr. Moriarty.This might be another gamble by Mr. Moriarty, but who knows?

Sherlock Holmes is not the only one who memorizes the London Transport real-time route map.

But these two lucky ones are not the children of God after all.Sherlock's worst injuries came from a small fragment of the car door, the sharp fragment piercing his abdominal cavity with the force of a bullet, while other fragments caused him to bleed profusely.And John had very slight fractures in several of his spines, and the rest were common symptoms such as blood loss-these two people were not life-threatening, which is really a blessing.

The luck of these two people is luck. The insufficient yield of the explosion (anti-harmony) this time is also an important reason why they escaped unharmed. Otherwise, the high temperature during the explosion (anti-harmony) would be enough to make them lose their lives instantly, not to mention the bullets Like a car in pieces.

What a lucky and amazing thing this is.

In the capital of the United Kingdom, they were directly attacked by car bombs (anti-harmony) aimed at themselves, and they were still alive!

Even according to the professional vision of Mycroft and Li Mingye, after reading the injury report, they can conclude that these two people may not even have any sequelae, including John's spinal fracture.This is really a rather magical and lucky thing!

Neither Mycroft nor Li Mingye were superstitious people, but they still decided to go back and anonymously throw a sum of money into the church's donation box.In some extreme situations, people always need a belief, which can give them a last resort when they are powerless.

After a long wait, the corridor finally fell silent.But these two people have always stood upright, like reefs that emerged after the sea water receded, maintaining a solid and unbreakable posture of waiting.After another ten minutes, Li Mingye finally moved.She relaxed her posture and leaned her back against the wall—the long and stiff posture made her almost lose control of her muscles in an instant, and there was a muffled sound when she leaned against it, showing the pain.

But she didn't seem to be aware of it, and she only let out a long sigh of relief, with a bit of bewilderment and silence in her expression.She finally spoke, but the long silence made her voice a little hoarse: "This matter is my fault, I should react in time. From me - from the picture I saw, no, from me It was found that these dead people all died from cyanide (anti-harmonic) poisoning."

Mycroft glanced sideways at her.

"Is it my fault? No, no one can realize that in London, not only the University of London's laboratory can make cyanide (anti-harmonic) compounds, and I knew about it too late, and it was too late to find the source of the poison ..." Li Mingye muttered to himself, his expression showing a nervous struggle. "They've been in collusion from the beginning, with Moriarty in charge of coming up with a case that suits me and Sherlock's aesthetics, to cover McVitty's whereabouts, and McVitie's secret return to the University of London - I I knew that this old guy must have leftover henchmen, but I thought that a university professor would not be able to accomplish much, and I could keep him to continue catching McVitie..."

"No one needs to apologize for not being smart enough." Mycroft looked indifferent, and his eyes fell on Li Mingye's trembling lips, "It's not your fault that they planned everything and we were defenseless. As for that photo - Moriarty's tricks you should know better than me, even I will think that photo is just a preview of the next 'London 77 bombing'. If you think that preview is a preview of this bombing If you don't, it's just psychologically creating a handle for yourself to be ridiculed by your opponent."

Yes, the preview of the next "London July 7 bombing" - that photo was taken at a busy London train station, and a corner of the photo captured the shooting time at that time, which was exactly 7:[-].This was what Li Mingye discovered at the time. She had a premonition of the upcoming terrorist attack (anti-harmony) at the first time, and gave it back to Mycroft in time.And Mycroft arrived in the monitoring room in time, and Li Mingye decided to go to Sherlock himself to complete the case under his command—this was the reason why he was able to take over the authority of the monitoring room in time.

Otherwise, how could a high-ranking government official with a lot of work and power show up in Scotland Yard in time?

"Is this a consolation?"

"No, this is the truth." Mycroft said flatly, "I never vent my anger, and I will not go against the facts to accuse you or me of 'incompetence'."

Li Mingye was silent for a moment, and finally smiled.

"Then I'll take care of this one. Moriarty and McVitie should be proud that this is the only time they've made Shirley Lee's mind unusable. For hours, my brain was like an overturned hornet's nest, and all the thoughts stung my nerves—Mycroft, you can't believe it, after hearing the explosion ( Anti-harmony) blasted, and by the time I realized it, I had pointed the (anti-harmony) gun in my pocket at that goddamn Moriarty, but I could only watch him go."

Mycroft finally chuckled: "Yes, our thoughts coincide with each other." This smile finally revealed a little tiredness, and the short-lived empathy temporarily tore a corner of the cold mechanical appearance of the person in charge of MI6 , revealing the "human" side.There was a little anger in his smile, but more of fatigue and melancholy. He stared at the closed door of the operating room with painful eyes, like a mortal who finally admitted his incompetence. I closed my eyes, as if I couldn't bear it.

And what is the truth behind this explosion (anti-harmony) explosion?

This has to start with the "mass suicide case" in Brazil led by McVitie.After he reached an agreement with Moriarty, he tried his best to set off a storm in distant South America, and the precise time difference gave him enough time to escape—it was just as Sherlock returned to London, Li Mingye briefly handed over authority to Mycroft. Such a negligible time difference was enough to lead to the most tragic consequences.

However, the short-lived flaws of Li Mingye, Sherlock, and Mycroft gave Moriarty a chance to stir up trouble. The two cooperated tacitly. money, and lured the desperate taxi driver.So this "serial suicide case" that shocked London began. This kind of bizarre and weird serial murder case was obviously very appetizing to Sherlock, and Li Mingye was still dealing with the follow-up of the Brazil incident at that time, and finally freed up After the hand, the role of this "serial suicide case" as a smoke (anti-harmony) fog bomb has been brought to the extreme.

Taking advantage of the attention of the two consulting detectives being involved, McVitty returned to London and quietly got on the line with the party members of the University of London. He had taught at the University of London for a year, and a dark emperor like McVitie, A full year is enough to cultivate a capable and hidden partisan—why can Mr. Driver easily obtain contraband such as cyanide (anti-harmony) compounds?This is not something that an ordinary brother can get!

The reason is simple, these cyanide (anti-harmony) compounds, and later bombs (anti-harmony) all come from the chemistry laboratory of the University of London.The source of these seemingly hard-to-get things is quite simple and boring-sophisticated instruments, sufficient materials, and an experienced chemistry professor.

Back to this explosion (anti-harmony) bombing.In this explosion (anti-harmony) bombing, the driver was the young man and abandoned child that Moriarty snatched casually, and the passenger carrying the explosive (anti-harmony) charge was also one of Moriarty’s— ——As the investigation deepened, Li Mingye remembered that face. It was an American who once appeared in that lonely villa by the sea in Miami. For the past four years, he followed Moriarty to wander the world. diehard.

And McVitie's killing intent is extremely firm, if possible, he would not hesitate to use this explosion (anti-harmony) explosion to get rid of these two consulting detectives together.During the cooperation, the forces of the two sides will inevitably come into contact with each other deeply, so McVitie bewitched Mr. Moriarty's diehard henchmen, and he instigated Mr. Heilongjiang to eliminate two serious problems for his boss with the determination to die. At that time, Mr. Moriarty was busy planning another major crime that would be on the stage in the future, and neglected the management of his subordinates.

When Mr. Driver received the text message from the consulting detective, McVitie jumped at the opportunity.He knew Sherlock Holmes' temperament in dealing with the case. When Sherlock targeted the driver, he would subconsciously ignore the passenger sitting in the back seat—he might be wary of Mr. Driver's gun, but he Can't prevent Mr. Passenger's bomb (anti-harmony) bomb.

And by the time Moriarty reacted, it was almost too late.So the quick-response consultant had no choice but to stand up and prevent Li Mingye from stepping into the trap, and reserve a way out for himself—in case his luck is really so bad, Sherlock Holmes dies, and Shirley Lee dies with him Now, the murderer is all his people, didn't he drive Mycroft Holmes and Mike Lee crazy in one breath?

Those two are not reasonable people.

It's not that Jim Moriarty can't die, but he doesn't want to die under the calculations of old McVitie, and proudly consults the criminal that even if he wants to die, he must die in his own script.So when he appeared, he didn't hesitate to sell one of McVitty's most important channels in London - a professor of chemistry at the University of London who was known as an academic leader.

All these facts were logically smooth, and after this explosion (anti-harmony) explosion, it was revealed to Li Mingye as if the truth had come to light.Looking back at the beyond-explosion (anti-harmony) bombing case, McVitty's murderous intent and Moriarty's plan are vividly remembered, all of which reminded her once again that fighting against these two vicious criminals is a little bit more difficult. What are the consequences of being careless?

If this explosion (anti-harmony) explosion happened to her, just like the defeat in Miami, she was the one who was hurt, and I am afraid she would not have such a clear understanding.Even if that failure caused her some sort of permanent disaster—she's been a bit uncomfortable with syringes until now—she'd let it go quickly, and she'd be able to pick out her own shortfalls in a timely manner. place, and no longer let the shadow of failure bind yourself.

But this time, it was Sherlock and John who suffered the retribution of a moment of neglect.

Li Mingye stared at the cold and closed door of the operating room, feeling that the muscles, bones, viscera and blood all over his body were washed extremely cold with every breath of the chill in the corridor.

I should have watched them.she thinks.

I am in charge of so many surveillance cameras. As long as I want to, the whole of London is in the palm of my hand, and I should watch them.I shouldn't have indulged the known partisan left by Moriarty, and since I've kept him, I've got to keep an eye on him all the time, I shouldn't have a moment's negligence.

I shouldn't be caught by a plausible photo of Moriarty, I should check the vehicles passing by Northumberland Avenue one by one in time, and I should make safety plans for them in time.

Sherlock is so young, and John is just a normal guy, they are inexperienced.

This is my fault.

Li Mingye closed her eyes, and suddenly, she thought of Sherlock, who was on a certain island four years ago, pouring out his heart with a face of struggle and despair.She suddenly understood why Sherlock's PTSD was so severe, and why Sherlock Holmes, who had a strong self-control ability, had such crazy thoughts and actions-not to mention that this little bastard had already thought about it.

The fear and panic, guilt and pain of almost losing can really destroy a person.Even Lee and Holmes, they always have their own soft place, once hit, it hurts deeply.

If the few rare failures in the previous life just hit her self-esteem, the failure this time completely made her see her own incompetence——she protected Sherlock for four years, and during these four years, she did not lose her self-esteem. It's smooth sailing, but almost everything is under control.The long-term success and repeated failures of her opponents finally gradually bred her arrogance and conceit. Even if she controlled this as much as possible, she was still out of balance after all.

Even the gods will reveal the weakness of human nature at certain moments.

And she's just a mortal.

The author has something to say:

Added in the Chinese translation: Mo Niang was tricked by Shu Mo. In fact, Mo Niang originally planned to tear up the cooperation after her detour brother was banned (the well-prepared clothes and dresses in the previous chapter are impossible to get in a short time. come out, Mo Niang was already prepared).The cooperation between the two Moriartys was full of intrigue. They played against each other several times. Even if they cooperated for a short time because of their interests, it was impossible to trust each other.

Shu Mo originally planned to solve Yuan Fu and Juan Fu in one go, and then kill Mo Niang through Mai Ge and Yuan Mai. If Yuan Fu and Juan Fu really died in the explosion (anti-harmony) explosion, Yuan Mai and Mai Ge would definitely Crazy, Mo Niang can't argue with anything

Fortunately, Mo Niang reacted quickly and was lucky, otherwise she would have died no matter what

And Yuan Fu's second psychological change is about to start

Personally, I think Yuan Fu's sense of responsibility is relatively heavy.In the original book, he can burglary and expend a lot of effort to open a net for his client. Even though there are factors of social responsibility and a desire for adventure, it is undeniable that he has a strong sense of responsibility to his client. .Even if sometimes he is willing to put the client in danger, he will try his best to ensure the safety of the client

And now lying in the operating room are the students he personally brought up and Watson of this world. Even if what happened this time was not his fault, the sense of guilt is enough for him to really reflect on it, and this experience It is also enough to make him empathize with Juan Fu four years ago

My dying romance line is about to see the hope of coming back to life!
