When Edward returned home late at night, the carriage stopped in front of the door, and Cheno personally went to pick him up from the carriage.

"You are finally back, Master Edward, the master has asked you four times when you will be back."

"I see, I'll go in right away."

Cheno hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? What happened at home?"

"The male owner is not at home for Christmas, and the owner is a little upset."

Edward nodded. This year is the first time Tom and Alice spend Christmas with them, and it's Tom's birthday again. Mom will definitely stay in London. Naturally, she won't go back to her grandparents' house in the country, and Dad has been busy all the time. , seldom leaves London at Christmas time, which is odd.

Edward entered the hall, took off his cloak and shoes, and stepped into the living room.In the living room, a space expansion spell was cast. A six-meter-high Christmas tree was placed by the fireplace, with silver ribbons wrapped around it and golden bells hung. A row of musical instruments were placed under the tree, and they were playing by themselves.The house was warm and warm. Tom was sitting on the sofa wearing a shirt and trousers, squatting cranberry by his feet. Cranberry saw Edward wagging his tail desperately, and surrounded him cheerfully.

"Are you back?" Tom looked up inadvertently, "Your mother just worries too much."

Edward stepped on the newly changed green carpet and gave Tom a beautifully wrapped box, "Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas."

"Is there only one present?" Tom took it and immediately unwrapped it.Inside is a young, hibernating magic snake.

"Oh, it's a cutie. But child, I don't plan to raise snakes anymore. No one can compare to Nagini in my heart. I can pass this gift on to your grandmother."

It was so embarrassing for Edward to give gifts for the first time.However, it is a family after all, Tom didn't take it to heart, and Edward wouldn't take it to heart either.

"Where are my mother and grandmother?"

"In the kitchen, your mother has been busy with this dinner party for half a month."

Edward stood up and said he was going to the kitchen to have a look.He stopped in a corridor, "Tuman, let Tuman come to see me immediately."

"Master Edward." Tuman appeared immediately.

"Where's my dad? What happened to send him back to the country?"

Tuman looked around, and Edward took a few steps towards the shadow of the remote corridor.

"Someone tried to blackmail the master. A man in the newspaper business threatened the master with Mr. Sherlock and the master. He wanted to obtain some unknown secrets. He had many people's handles. He discovered some things around the master. The special thing is that Mr. Tom wanted to get close to the master several times, and Mr. Tom was already angry, saying that he would not mind letting that man meet the Muggle God. However, the master wanted to get the database of the blackmailer, so he and Mr. Sherlock There's a plan."

"Who is so presumptuous? It's very easy to know where his data is stored, all you need to do is take soul-searching."

"I used to stealthily read him, but this method didn't work. All I could see were rows and rows of buildings and shelves, and I couldn't read the things on them. The host judged that the blackmailer had Special method of remembering, it seems to be a kind of memory palace."

"who's that person?"

"Magnussen, in the newspaper business."

"I......"

"Edward, I heard that you are back, come quickly, your mother is looking for you." Alice's voice came from the living room.Edward made a secret sign language, and Tuman nodded and disappeared invisibly.

"Merry Christmas, Alice, ah, I miss you so much, Mom."

[I miss you too, son, why did you come back?Did you send your girlfriend home? 】

Edward finished at the round table, the plates flew over from the kitchen in a row, the red wine glasses were lined up crookedly, the decanter automatically poured the wine, and then the red wine glasses filled with red wine stood crookedly in front of everyone.

"Yes, I drank a cup of tea at Wendy's house, in case you are in a hurry and come back soon."

【Then, will your girlfriend's family think you are a mother baby? 】

"Mommy?" Edward frowned. "How could it be? It's hard to find another boy like me in the whole of England."

"You think too much, Liz." Tom sat in the middle, with Haru Yuki on the left, Alice on the right, Edward next to Alice, and Victoria on the other side of Edward. around. "If their family thinks my grandson is not good, there will be many people in the entire wizarding world who want to marry Edward."

"I think Wendy is fine." Edward quickly stated his position.

"Okay, don't mention this on days like this, come on, raise your glasses, Merry Christmas, Tom happy birthday."

"cheers."

In the country, Tuman appears next to Mycroft, who sits in his room smoking a cigarette facing the window.

"Master Edward is back, and I told the little master about it."

Mycroft nodded, "Are you still angry looking at Liz?"

"Oh, and some more. I gave your present to Mr. Tom in the evening, and the master saw it, and she said many good things about you to Mr. Tom."

"Liz is always so kind," Mycroft snuffed out the cigarette and handed the butt to Tuman, "it's done, don't let my mother find out. My laptop, Sherlock, has been taken away, and now we're going back London."

A car came outside, and a man was sitting in the back seat looking at Yuki Haru's house.

"Go knock on the door."

A bodyguard got out of the car and knocked on the door of Haru Yuki's house on Christmas Eve.

A servant opened the door, "Merry Christmas, who are you?"

"My boss, Mr. Magnussen, is visiting the Marchioness."

"Please wait."

A doll of a house-elf speaks in Haru Yuki's ear.

"What's the matter?" Tom asked.

[They said that someone came to visit me, late at night, and I didn't know the visitor. 】

"Who?"

"Magnusen, it is said to be a Mr. Magnussen."

Edward put down the knife and fork, "I'll go and have a look."

Tom nodded, and Edward stood up and went out.

【Who is it?Do you know? 】

"I haven't been in London for a long time, and I haven't heard of this person." Tom replied casually.

Yuki Haru looked at the door worriedly. Edward just went out. She had a feeling of unreliability, and she always felt that something was going to happen.

Edward walked into the living room and saw a well-dressed man sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Edward approaching, he said very dissatisfied, "I want to meet Mrs. Holmes."

"On behalf of my mother, do you have anything to say?"

"Edward Holmes. He is famous and famous. I heard that the queen admires you very much."

"Visiting late at night, I don't think you're here to flatter me, are you?"

"That's right, I want to do business with your mother." He took off his eyes, took out a cloth and wiped them carefully, his movements were slow and focused.

"Tell me?"

"I know that your father has many secrets in his hands, and these secrets are extremely valuable. I want to get these."

"Don't you think you're too whimsical?"

"If you had listened to the conditions I offered, you wouldn't think so. Is your mother's Marchioness comfortable?"

Edward looked at him, quietly waiting for him to continue.

"A dishonorable illegitimate daughter, because she married a good husband, her origin was falsified, her identity was forged, and she turned into a noble lady in high society. If it became the headline of the newspaper tomorrow, I think the whole British Isles will be angry of."

Edward nodded in agreement, "You are right, but what about your evidence? What you say is unsubstantiated, even if it is nonsense, you should fabricate physical evidence."

Magnussen leaned on the back of the sofa very relaxedly, "I never pay attention to evidence. I am a newspaper maker. What I can do is to print these and distribute them in every corner. Where is Madam? I Talk to the lady. She'll be interested in what I have in my hand."

"Edward, let me tell you how to deal with hooligans." A voice came from the door, and Tom came in lazily with a glass of red wine and cotton slippers.

Edward gave up his seat, and Tom sat on it, "What did you just say? Disrespectful illegitimate daughter, is that how you describe my daughter?"

Magnussen sat up straight, staring at Tom, "Your daughter? No, she is obviously an illegitimate daughter without any identity records."

"I hate when people say that about my daughter, it will only make me feel guilty. Crucifix." Tom didn't take out his wand, he just sat on the sofa casually, very calmly accompanied by Magnussen rolling on the ground Drinking red wine, "Every food chain has a king. I don't think I'm a good person, and neither are you. In a team of bad people, I can definitely be the leader."

Magnussen was so painful that he almost passed out, and his consciousness was in a daze.Holding the wine glass, Tom quickly flipped through his memory, then he kicked the useless Magnussen off the carpet, and said to Edward, "Come on, concentrate, imagine that you are flipping through a In this book, when you open his memory, first of all, your thinking must be clear, logic must conform to reality, judge for yourself whether his memory is true, and pay attention to details. His memory is very huge."

After a while, Edward was sweating profusely, panting heavily and stopped, "Unexpectedly, he used his brain as a hard drive."

"One's own brain is the most unreliable existence." Tom stood up and walked out, "I'll go back first, your mother will be suspicious if I leave for too long, remember to throw him out, he stained our carpet, it's still new .”

Edward really let two alchemy dolls throw him out, Magnussen's two bodyguards hurriedly helped him to the car, and the group left in a hurry.In the car, Magnussen woke up slowly and tried hard to recall what happened just now. He was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat, his bones ached, and he couldn't help but let the security guard park the car on the side of the road and go to the pharmacy to buy it. Painkillers, "Who the hell is he? Witchcraft?"

A bodyguard answered the phone, and then, "Sir, Sherlock Holmes wants to see you."

Swallowed the pill hastily, "Of course we have to meet. If this road doesn't work, there must be a way to go. Let's go back quickly. I can't wait to see Holmes' computer. I want to know, this man is who?"

The author has something to say:

This book will end with more than 20 chapters. I am thinking about what I will write next. I have two plans now, Avengers or Dream of Red Mansions. Which one do you think is better?
