[Comprehensive British and American] Sherlock shows love everyday
Chapter 7 The Second Dream
Her heart was turbulent, but because of Tony Stark sitting next to her and Inspector Lestrade who was staring at her, Alice could only pretend nothing had happened.Putting her hand into her coat pocket, she turned her head and stared at the big detective for a few seconds.Sherlock Holmes's eyes were dark and he couldn't see emotions clearly.
Alice stood up slowly, and Sherlock straightened up following her movements.Bathed in everyone's eyes, Alice hesitated whether to really obey the other party's assignment.
As long as she doesn't admit it, the big detective has no proof that she doesn't know Iron Man.But now the most important point is - why did the other party guess that she didn't know Iron Man?And why do you think she's afraid of being known about it?
Alice didn't speak, but quietly observed the big detective around her.Sherlock was equally calm.But Lestrade couldn't wait. "Hey, Sherlock." Mr. Inspector had a bit of a headache, Sherlock likes to bring his assistants to the police station, it's okay.But asking a layman to identify the murderer in front of the suspect is a bit too much. "Sherlock, this incident has a lot of impact." Subtext, stop making trouble.
"Oh, Lestrade, be patient." Mr. Detective turned his head and waved impatiently at the Inspector, "Don't you want to solve the case immediately? I'm helping you. Miss Thorne." Turn around, Sherlock Looking down at Alice, "She is very smart, very smart, and she will definitely make the most correct choice. Are you... mine right?" A pun, this is almost a naked warning.
Iron Man glanced at the two people who were secretly competing, and seemed to have noticed something.Alice noticed Iron Man's gaze, and instantly decided to stabilize Mr. Detective before making any plans.
Taking the file folder that Sherlock handed over fiercely, Alice stood opposite the small long table.Scotland Yard took photos of the deceased Oliver Longbottom at the time of his death and many screenshots of the banquet, followed by an expedited poison test report.Oliver Longbottom died of cyanide poisoning.
After quickly scanning the information, Alice turned her attention to the big detective who drove the ducks to the shelves. "Mr. Holmes, are you sure that the murderer is in this room?" The deceased was a powerful figure in charge of a multinational corporation, and it is not impossible that he was killed by his enemies.
"Hmm." Sherlock turned around and actually sat down on the chair Alice had just placed. "Miss Thorne, I thought this was clear." I can't see it anymore.
"Inspector Lestrade, what do you mean?" It must be a bad feeling to be accused of being a suspect, Mr. Driver spoke. "We can cooperate with Scotland Yard's investigation, but she and him..." pointed to Sherlock who was sitting with the old god and Alice who was standing in front of him with a file folder, "They are not police at all!"
Alice understood Donald's anger very well.Thinking about it in another way, if one day people around her were killed, and she was locked up by the police as a suspect, but found that the person responsible for correcting her innocence was not even a police officer, she would be equally angry.Detective Lestrade looked puzzled, hoping that Sherlock could explain, but the detective just didn't speak.
"Inspector Lestrade, if you can't find out the truth about Oliver's death but let a so-called private detective speculate at will, then I guarantee that the news will be published in the newspaper immediately, together with your dismissal order!" Longbottom Madam cried and shouted.
Secretary Caroline didn't speak, but her expression was equally bad.
"Miss Thorne?" Sherlock urged, "I thought you'd come to a conclusion." Another pun.
It's time for those fans of Xia Xia to see how annoying their favorite detective is!Alice, who was being caught, didn't show any emotion on her face, and she had scolded the consulting detective countless times in her heart.Looking through the meager information that Scotland Yard could provide, Alice tried her best to sort out the case.Oliver Longbottom died without taking a drop of water, as cyanide poisoning usually kills instantly.The items that the deceased had been in contact with during his lifetime were not found to be inappropriate through preliminary investigation by Scotland Yard, so where did Longbottom eat the poisonous thing?
Iron Man also said curiously at this time, "The Longbottom Group has been cooperating with subsidiaries under Stark Industries. I deeply regret his death. Alice, can you give him back the truth?" The man wearing brown glasses Tony Stark's tone of voice rose slightly—the habit of flirting with girls.
If it's normal, Alice really doesn't mind taking a good look at this superhero, maybe they can have dinner together or something.But now she has more important things to do. "Inspector Lestrade, do you mind if I talk about my speculation?" She will stay in London for a few months, and the Inspector of Scotland Yard will not be offended if she is on good terms.
"Mr. Detective, with all due respect, you are wasting our time!" The secretary finally couldn't help protesting, "Mr. Longbottom was killed, what kind of detective game are you playing here instead of tracking down the murderer?!"
"Caroline, go and call the lawyer." Mrs. Longbottom followed the words of the secretary, "Mr. Lestrade, I will report to the highest official of your bureau what happened here today." , the sad widow got up and nodded in the direction of Iron Man, and was about to leave.
"This is really rare." Alice took off the coat she had been wearing all the time, pulled a swivel chair and sat down.To keep warm, she wore the warmest shoes she brought from home today—a pair of over-the-knee leather boots.The shoes are warm, but the five-inch stiletto heels are deadly.High heels are amazing, beauty is beauty, but if you walk too much, it will be a bit anti-human.
"What's rare?" Mrs. Longbottom, who had already walked to the door, stopped and turned her head.Under the light, the girl sitting at the table has curly black hair and a red skirt, plus a pair of knee-high leather boots, with one hand resting on her chin, smiling coquettishly.
"I mean, you treat Secretary Caroline so nicely," Alice lightly tapped the folder, "It's really rare that you treat Mr. Longbottom so nicely to his secretary after he's dead." Is it because The man is dead so it doesn't matter?
The people present were all human beings, and it was impossible to hear what Alice was hinting at.Miss Secretary's face was pale and crumbling, as if she had really suffered some great grievance. "No, miss, don't talk nonsense!" Caroline, who had an "S" figure, seemed annoyed, and immediately argued, "I am Mr. Longbottom's secretary, and I have no improper relationship with him." Then Watching the female secretary speak, her chest rose and fell.
Alice looked down at her hard-pressed breasts, and felt that the gap between people was really big. "Oh, well, then treat me as nonsense." There was no point in arguing about such matters, and Alice didn't want to spend time on them.
"This...Miss Thorne?" Mrs. Longbottom insisted, "Your remarks have hurt my husband's right of reputation, and I ask you to apologize to us immediately." The tall widow was full of arrogance.Lestrade saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly said, "Mrs. Longbottom, please don't mind, I will let her..." In fact, Lestrade was quite happy when this happened.The little assistant brought by Sherlock made a mistake, so shouldn't it be time for the big detective to appear?
"It's even more strange." Alice turned the chair gently and looked back at Mr. Detective.She is not a police officer and has no experience as a detective.The difference between solving crimes and her profession is too far, and Alice can't get any inspiration from her past experience.Now that Sherlock Holmes had given her three candidates to pick out the suspect, it was natural for Alice, knowing so little, to make use of all the clues available.Deliberately breaking the relationship between the female secretary and the deceased meant that she suspected that Oliver Longbottom had died of love.But after taking a closer look at the big detective from the corner of her eye, Alice found that she couldn't see any expression on the other's face.
So this direction is right?
Taking advantage of Lestrade's time as a peacemaker, Alice quickly glanced at the few pages in the file folder.Oliver Longbottom had dined with his wife half an hour before his death, and had been resting at the Houston Hotel until then.Miss Secretary came with Donald 10 minutes before the banquet started.
Eh?
Alice seemed to have discovered something.
At this time, Lestrade had persuaded Mrs. Longbottom, who was furious because her husband was "defamed".He turned around and wanted Alice to apologize briefly and get things over with. "Miss Thorne..." What is the relationship between this little girl and Sherlock?
"I made a mistake just now. Mrs. Longbottom has a very good relationship with Mr. Alice." Alice was kind.But before Lestrade could breathe a sigh of relief, she went on to say, "On such an important day as the [-]th anniversary of the establishment of the Longbottom Group, you actually had dinner with Mr. Longbottom half an hour before the opening. It's really a good relationship." Jokes, changing dresses, putting on makeup, and choosing jewelry, this set of procedures can't be completed within two hours, okay?What normal person would run to eat before such an important banquet?
Lestrade finally understood this time. "Mrs. Longbottom, hasn't anything happened between you and the deceased recently?" Abnormality is a demon. If the relationship between the Longbottom and his wife is not as harmonious as they showed, then the possibility of love murder must be considered.Referring to the suspected ambiguous relationship between the female secretary Caroline and the deceased, Lestrade thinks that Sherlock may have a deep meaning for the little girl to reason.
#Daily Life of a Sherlock Brainless Supporter#
"We have a very good relationship." The widow who was questioned gave Alice a cold look.
"It's very good. Your husband and secretary rolled over the bed sheet and turned around to continue eating with you." Mrs. Longbottom's expression was as usual, as if she was not surprised by Alice's truth.
"What?!" Lestrade felt that his brain capacity was not enough.
"The small handkerchief provided by the Houston Hotel looks pretty nice, don't you think so? Miss Caroline?" Alice finally remembered why the handkerchief that the female secretary used to wipe her tears looked so familiar - it was the guest room of the Houston Hotel Service standard.
"I..." The female secretary wanted to defend herself, but Alice didn't give her a chance. "And the royal blue dress on you, it really matches the pattern of Mr. Longbottom's tie." Looking carefully, she noticed another thing, "Your jewelry and the tie clip of the deceased... seem to be from the same series?" Alice finally understood what she thought was wrong from the very beginning—the Longbottoms didn't look like a couple, but Mr. Longbottom and Miss Secretary looked like a couple!
"Inspector Lestrade, did your Scotland Yard solve the case by letting a layman talk nonsense here?" Mr. Donald, the bodyguard, finally spoke. "If you can't produce evidence, please stop such slanderous remarks against Mr. Longbottom." The inspector who did not act was reprimanded sternly, and Donald was about to escort Mrs. Longbottom away.
Of course Alice cannot allow this to happen.She has no evidence or clues, and her current reasoning is all based on luck. If she can't force the murderer to show his flaws in one go, how can she know who the murderer is?Taking out her mobile phone from her coat pocket, Alice went online to search for news about the Longbottom Group.A group engaged in biotechnology announced their latest research results just a few minutes ago, hoping to resolve the violent stock price volatility caused by the public death of the group's helm.It was written in bold blue font on the page - the latest achievement of Longbottom's laboratory: cell transplantation that can be used in the human body.
Let us ignore the garbled biomedical report, and Alice found a sentence in the lower left corner of the article-"This technology can not only be used for human organ tissue regeneration, but also delay organ aging."Why does this sound so much like an enhanced version of Extremis?
"Mr. Longbottom is having an affair with the secretary, don't you really know?" Alice didn't have to attack a widow who had just been widowed and her husband was the first wife of a scumbag, but she thought the widow was really strange.From the very beginning, Mrs. Longbottom showed a very disdainful attitude towards Secretary Caroline and the dead Oliver, and there was a hint of arrogance in this disdain.Also, Mrs. Longbottom seems to hate her very much.Thinking back carefully, Alice was quite sure that she had never seen this Mrs. Longbottom before. "The boss's secrets cannot be kept from the people around him, so Mr. Donald knew about the deceased and Caroline." The bodyguard and driver knew about the secretary's affair with the boss, and Mrs. Longbottom also seemed to know that her husband had an affair with Caroline. .Oliver had sex with his lover and dined with his wife before dying of cyanide poisoning.Now it is known that one of the lover, wife, and driver is the murderer, so may I ask, who killed Oliver Longbottom?
Alice, a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics, said: This question is too difficult!
As if seeing that Alice had reached a deadlock, Sherlock said lazily, "Use your brain, there are countless answers to a question."
The murderer is not alone!
Alice understood instantly.
"Sherlock, who is the murderer?" The well-known rich man died in London, and Lestrade was under a lot of pressure. "Just tell me quickly." The American Iron Man is still sitting here. If they can't solve the case immediately, It's like losing the face of the British police in front of the Americans.
"It was a conspiracy. Miss Caroline and Mr. Donald conspired to kill Mr. Longbottom." Alice sighed, it was really risky to cheat.
"What?" This was probably the word Inspector Lestrade uttered the most today.
"Miss Caroline must be deeply trusted as Mr. Longbottom's lover and personal secretary, and so is Mr. Donald." Looking at the information on her phone, Alice felt that life is full of surprises, "When you were in college, you relied on the Longbottom Group It was only through the established scholarship that I was able to complete my studies, and after graduating from university, I worked as a secretary next to Oliver Longbottom for ten years." A lover who has been favored by him and has been with him for ten years, it is not surprising that Oliver is not defensive. "But why did you forget to delete the photo of you and Mr. Donald?" In the Internet age, there are no secrets.Alice found a group photo of college classmates on the social account of a classmate of Caroline's class, and the banner on it read "Longbottom Group Establishes Scholarship".The strange girl in the frontal photo is smiling brightly, but in the background, the figures of Caroline and Donald hugging and kissing occupy a corner.
"This is..." Lestrade zoomed in on Alice's phone and saw it clearly.Caroline and Donald are a couple?
"Miss Caroline and Mr. Donald have been lovers for a long time."
"Longbottom's overseas private account had a fund flow two hours ago. £5000 million was transferred into a private account. The account holder is Monica, your sister." The detective finally said, "The timing is just right. Not long after the death of Oliver Longbottom." He looked at the pale Caroline, "You are a top student who graduated from the Department of Biology, of course you know how good the latest research results of the Longbottom Group are." Shaking the phone, Sherlock went on to say, "Oliver is getting older, of course he wants to live forever. At this time, the research laboratory under his group has just developed a preparation that can delay aging, so you persuade him to try it himself." Normally A shrewd businessman would certainly not be so stupid, but if the drug had been successfully tested on humans, the result would be different. "Mr. Stark, is Mr. Longbottom's potion effective?" Iron Man's appearance could only be due to this reason.
"Well, the clinical trials are very effective, and there are already people in the industry who want to cooperate with them." Including Stark Industries.
"This medicine has a characteristic, that is, it will greatly slow down the functioning of the body for a period of time." Sherlock, who has already communicated with experts, can now be regarded as half an expert in the field of biopharmaceuticals, "You calculate the time to let the dead Received the injection, and then Donald poisoned Longbottom on the way to the restaurant to eat with his wife, and then returned to the hotel to meet you." Pointing to Donald, Sherlock continued, "You originally planned However, I didn’t expect that there was a problem with the dosage of the medicine, and Longbottom did not die within the time you expected, but died at the banquet.” Caroline’s estimated time of poisoning occurred when Oliver Longbottom and his wife had a meal when.
"This is slander." The female secretary put away her tears. "We have no reason to harm Mr. Longbottom, and you have no evidence to prove it. The $5000 million was given to me by Mr. Longbottom."
"They have evidence." Alice felt that this case could definitely be included in the annual case to inform future generations not to cheat casually. "As long as the autopsy results come out, this conjecture can be clearly proved. If the time is deduced, it will be clear when the deceased was poisoned. Moreover, the police can search all your recent whereabouts. It is easy to find flaws. As for the motive, as long as DNA test..." Alice looked at Caroline hesitantly, "You are pregnant with Mr. Donald's child, and you want to get rid of the dead and start a new life." The female secretary has light makeup, low-heeled shoes, and her hands carefully touch her flat belly from time to time .Alice had seen this pattern of behavior with a pregnant female teacher once.
"I didn't!" Caroline still refused to admit it.
"Yes, we did it." Donald immediately admitted.
Next, it's a turn of events.
The great detective ignored the crying Caroline, and walked directly to Alice, "It's not that good." He expressed contempt for Alice's ability.
As the object of contempt, Alice rolled her eyes.It's amazing that she can do this without knowing anything, isn't it? "Oh." Who cares if you are satisfied!
"You can go." Since he was an idiot, Sherlock felt that there was no need for him to waste time on Alice.After leaving this sentence, the great detective will ignore people.
"Alice", but Iron Man swayed over, "It's exciting, do you have time? Let's have dinner together?" Stark smiled ambiguously.
"Mr. Stark." Another time, she would be happy.But now she was so angry that she didn't have time to watch the handsome guy, "I'm sorry, I'm not convenient today." She had to deal with the big detective first.
"Honey, just call me Tony." Iron Man was not angry when he was rejected, he handed Alice a business card, "Remember to call me."
"Hmph." Sherlock despised Alice's behavior of accepting the business card.
It's really tolerable and unbearable, uncle can bear it and auntie can't bear it either!
Alice walked up to Sherlock and lowered her voice, "Mr. Detective, you overlooked a detail. It is true that Caroline was sponsored by Oliver Longbottom, but Donald was sponsored by Mrs. Longbottom to complete his university studies."
Mrs. Longbottom knew about Caroline and Donald's plan from beginning to end.In other words, the person Donald was helping from the beginning to the end was not Caroline at all, but Mrs. Longbottom.Otherwise, how could the calculated onset time of the medicine go wrong?And why did Donald immediately plead guilty without pleading guilty?And why didn't Mrs. Longbottom panic at all from the beginning to the end, as if everything was under control?
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
After hearing this sentence, Sherlock seemed to really start to look at Alice squarely. "...in exchange." The big detective lowered his voice and approached Alice's ear, "Have you ever doubted... that Iron Man Tony Stark... really exists?"
Five hours later, in Manhattan, New York, USA, the headquarters building of the Avengers Alliance.
"Welcome back." Jarvis greeted his master.
"Jarvis, what did you find?" Iron Man took off his suit and walked to the bar to pour himself a glass of wine.
"Sherlock Holmes, 29 years old this year, the younger brother of Mycroft Holmes, a professional consulting detective, IQ..." Jarvis read the information carefully.
"Stop." After taking a sip of wine, Stark stopped the artificial intelligence butler from endorsing the book, "Did you find anything unusual?"
"No", Jarvis gave an expected answer, "The birth and growth of Sherlock Holmes are all traceable, logical, and there is no paradox. He has indeed existed in this world for 29 years."
"...Okay, I see." Throwing the wine glass on the spot for no reason, Iron Man turned and went back to the room, "Continue to observe."
"Yes."
The author has something to say: There will be two more changes in a while, babies, please praise your cute paws
Alice stood up slowly, and Sherlock straightened up following her movements.Bathed in everyone's eyes, Alice hesitated whether to really obey the other party's assignment.
As long as she doesn't admit it, the big detective has no proof that she doesn't know Iron Man.But now the most important point is - why did the other party guess that she didn't know Iron Man?And why do you think she's afraid of being known about it?

"Oh, Lestrade, be patient." Mr. Detective turned his head and waved impatiently at the Inspector, "Don't you want to solve the case immediately? I'm helping you. Miss Thorne." Turn around, Sherlock Looking down at Alice, "She is very smart, very smart, and she will definitely make the most correct choice. Are you... mine right?" A pun, this is almost a naked warning.
Iron Man glanced at the two people who were secretly competing, and seemed to have noticed something.Alice noticed Iron Man's gaze, and instantly decided to stabilize Mr. Detective before making any plans.

"Sherlock, who is the murderer?" The well-known rich man died in London, and Lestrade was under a lot of pressure. "Just tell me quickly." The American Iron Man is still sitting here. If they can't solve the case immediately, It's like losing the face of the British police in front of the Americans.
"It was a conspiracy. Miss Caroline and Mr. Donald conspired to kill Mr. Longbottom." Alice sighed, it was really risky to cheat.
"What?" This was probably the word Inspector Lestrade uttered the most today.
"Miss Caroline must be deeply trusted as Mr. Longbottom's lover and personal secretary, and so is Mr. Donald." Looking at the information on her phone, Alice felt that life is full of surprises, "When you were in college, you relied on the Longbottom Group It was only through the established scholarship that I was able to complete my studies, and after graduating from university, I worked as a secretary next to Oliver Longbottom for ten years." A lover who has been favored by him and has been with him for ten years, it is not surprising that Oliver is not defensive. "But why did you forget to delete the photo of you and Mr. Donald?" In the Internet age, there are no secrets.Alice found a group photo of college classmates on the social account of a classmate of Caroline's class, and the banner on it read "Longbottom Group Establishes Scholarship".The strange girl in the frontal photo is smiling brightly, but in the background, the figures of Caroline and Donald hugging and kissing occupy a corner.
"This is..." Lestrade zoomed in on Alice's phone and saw it clearly.Caroline and Donald are a couple?
"Miss Caroline and Mr. Donald have been lovers for a long time."
"Longbottom's overseas private account had a fund flow two hours ago. £5000 million was transferred into a private account. The account holder is Monica, your sister." The detective finally said, "The timing is just right. Not long after the death of Oliver Longbottom." He looked at the pale Caroline, "You are a top student who graduated from the Department of Biology, of course you know how good the latest research results of the Longbottom Group are." Shaking the phone, Sherlock went on to say, "Oliver is getting older, of course he wants to live forever. At this time, the research laboratory under his group has just developed a preparation that can delay aging, so you persuade him to try it himself." Normally A shrewd businessman would certainly not be so stupid, but if the drug had been successfully tested on humans, the result would be different. "Mr. Stark, is Mr. Longbottom's potion effective?" Iron Man's appearance could only be due to this reason.
"Well, the clinical trials are very effective, and there are already people in the industry who want to cooperate with them." Including Stark Industries.
"This medicine has a characteristic, that is, it will greatly slow down the functioning of the body for a period of time." Sherlock, who has already communicated with experts, can now be regarded as half an expert in the field of biopharmaceuticals, "You calculate the time to let the dead Received the injection, and then Donald poisoned Longbottom on the way to the restaurant to eat with his wife, and then returned to the hotel to meet you." Pointing to Donald, Sherlock continued, "You originally planned However, I didn’t expect that there was a problem with the dosage of the medicine, and Longbottom did not die within the time you expected, but died at the banquet.” Caroline’s estimated time of poisoning occurred when Oliver Longbottom and his wife had a meal when.
"This is slander." The female secretary put away her tears. "We have no reason to harm Mr. Longbottom, and you have no evidence to prove it. The $5000 million was given to me by Mr. Longbottom."
"They have evidence." Alice felt that this case could definitely be included in the annual case to inform future generations not to cheat casually. "As long as the autopsy results come out, this conjecture can be clearly proved. If the time is deduced, it will be clear when the deceased was poisoned. Moreover, the police can search all your recent whereabouts. It is easy to find flaws. As for the motive, as long as DNA test..." Alice looked at Caroline hesitantly, "You are pregnant with Mr. Donald's child, and you want to get rid of the dead and start a new life." The female secretary has light makeup, low-heeled shoes, and her hands carefully touch her flat belly from time to time .Alice had seen this pattern of behavior with a pregnant female teacher once.
"I didn't!" Caroline still refused to admit it.
"Yes, we did it." Donald immediately admitted.
Next, it's a turn of events.
The great detective ignored the crying Caroline, and walked directly to Alice, "It's not that good." He expressed contempt for Alice's ability.
As the object of contempt, Alice rolled her eyes.It's amazing that she can do this without knowing anything, isn't it? "Oh." Who cares if you are satisfied!
"You can go." Since he was an idiot, Sherlock felt that there was no need for him to waste time on Alice.After leaving this sentence, the great detective will ignore people.
"Alice", but Iron Man swayed over, "It's exciting, do you have time? Let's have dinner together?" Stark smiled ambiguously.
"Mr. Stark." Another time, she would be happy.But now she was so angry that she didn't have time to watch the handsome guy, "I'm sorry, I'm not convenient today." She had to deal with the big detective first.
"Honey, just call me Tony." Iron Man was not angry when he was rejected, he handed Alice a business card, "Remember to call me."
"Hmph." Sherlock despised Alice's behavior of accepting the business card.
It's really tolerable and unbearable, uncle can bear it and auntie can't bear it either!
Alice walked up to Sherlock and lowered her voice, "Mr. Detective, you overlooked a detail. It is true that Caroline was sponsored by Oliver Longbottom, but Donald was sponsored by Mrs. Longbottom to complete his university studies."
Mrs. Longbottom knew about Caroline and Donald's plan from beginning to end.In other words, the person Donald was helping from the beginning to the end was not Caroline at all, but Mrs. Longbottom.Otherwise, how could the calculated onset time of the medicine go wrong?And why did Donald immediately plead guilty without pleading guilty?And why didn't Mrs. Longbottom panic at all from the beginning to the end, as if everything was under control?
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
After hearing this sentence, Sherlock seemed to really start to look at Alice squarely. "...in exchange." The big detective lowered his voice and approached Alice's ear, "Have you ever doubted... that Iron Man Tony Stark... really exists?"
Five hours later, in Manhattan, New York, USA, the headquarters building of the Avengers Alliance.
"Welcome back." Jarvis greeted his master.
"Jarvis, what did you find?" Iron Man took off his suit and walked to the bar to pour himself a glass of wine.
"Sherlock Holmes, 29 years old this year, the younger brother of Mycroft Holmes, a professional consulting detective, IQ..." Jarvis read the information carefully.
"Stop." After taking a sip of wine, Stark stopped the artificial intelligence butler from endorsing the book, "Did you find anything unusual?"
"No", Jarvis gave an expected answer, "The birth and growth of Sherlock Holmes are all traceable, logical, and there is no paradox. He has indeed existed in this world for 29 years."
"...Okay, I see." Throwing the wine glass on the spot for no reason, Iron Man turned and went back to the room, "Continue to observe."
"Yes."
