[Comprehensive] Sherlock is going to be kicked by a donkey

"and after?"

Tony was still holding an ice-cola in his hand, but his big brown eyes were engrossed in looking at the girl opposite who was narrating. Even Pep was quietly waiting for the girl to continue talking.

"And then... and then I came back after Christmas."

"..." Tony curled his lips and put down the ice-cola, "So you didn't figure out who was behind it?"

"The one behind it must be Adam Adrian."

"I mean the esper who might be stronger than you."

Josie shook her head, "I don't know, I couldn't find that person at all, and neither could Sherlock. I had those nightmares over and over for more than a dozen nights, and I couldn't bear it so I flew back to the United States. I really don’t feel that way anymore.”

Pep took a sip of tea, "So at least they haven't reached out to America yet."

Josie put a piece of vanilla cheesecake into her mouth with a fork, and the cheese with the unique sweetness of vanilla instantly melted in her mouth, "I don't know, maybe after the last time in Canada, he put the main The forces have withdrawn to the UK..."

"Is it safe for us to say this here...? I mean no...?" Pep pointed around with his fingers.

"Don't worry, there's no monitoring or surveillance," Josie patted her chest, "I checked it when I came here, and I've been using my abilities all the time, so far I haven't found anything unusual."

Tony looked at his girlfriend dissatisfied, "What are you afraid of, if there is really something, wouldn't I still be here?"

"It's because you are here that I am more worried that you will mess around, Tony." Pep said, thinking of what happened a while ago, she looked sad again, "Don't forget how much trouble you caused a while ago."

"Hey, I'm here to save the world from the bad guys, okay?"

Josie drank the tea in her cup and decided to minimize her sense of existence. Tony and Pep were arguing about the previous matter again. She was the most embarrassing person at this time. After all, the two people who were arguing were both It's her current boss, and it's not good for her to help anyone.

"...Isn't it? Josie? You think I'm right, too?" Pep turned to look at Josie, with anger still on his face.

"How could Josie think so? She likes to cause trouble, doesn't she, Josie?" Tony also looked at her.

The person who was called put down the teacup with a dull expression on his face, even stammering, "Uh... that, that..."

Oh my god, why are two people asking her all of a sudden? You must know that she didn't listen carefully to what they were arguing just now.

"Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do today, something very urgent, I'll go first, see you next time." After finishing speaking, Josie picked up her backpack and coat and left the private room without looking back, leaving only Lower Tony and Pep looked at each other.

Josie casually said that the next time I see you will be two months later when she will officially go to Stark Industries for an internship. Tony and Pep are busy people, and Josie is also very busy because of the internship and the approaching graduation , in fact even in the company they have very few opportunities to meet each other.

Josie's contract was officially signed for only ten months, ten months is not a long time, but Josie's work schedule is very full, because almost all Stark Tower projects have to go through her hands, busy And the fulfilling ten-month paid internship passed almost in the blink of an eye. In the last two months, Pep also came to ask her about her willingness to continue working in Stark Industries in the future, but Josie declined all of them. up.

"Have you really decided to go back to the UK?" Pep sat behind the desk and looked at Josie opposite. Not only her inner thoughts, but also her clothes. The casual sports clothes she used to wear every day almost no longer appeared on Josie's body. Instead, she was replaced by stylishly designed and well-made ladies suits. Appropriate makeup was put on.

Josie nodded, her tone firm, "Yes, I've thought about it, and I've thought about it a long time ago."

Pep was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, okay, it seems that I can't do what Tony asked me to do."

"Oh, Tony doesn't really care. I've been working for him for ten months. There's no reason to stay. My dream job isn't helping Iron Man design his metal accessories on Stark Tower " Qiao Qian smiled, and then changed the topic, "But if you need help in the future, you can come to me at any time."

"Thank you, Josie."

"My honor, after all, working in Stark Industries has a lot of gold in this professional experience."

Josie's words made Pep laugh out loud, "Seriously, are you sure you don't need me to contact you for a new job?"

"Oh, no need," Josie stood up and picked up her handbag, "I've already found a new company, and it's in London."

After coming out of Stark Tower, Josie was relaxed. She returned to the apartment to pack her last luggage, and then she was holding a large box of matcha-flavored Haagen-Dazs. When she was about to sit down and eat while watching TV, she Received a somewhat unexpected call.

It was Mycroft calling.

You must know that the elder brother of Holmes has never called her personally.

Josie was shocked after seeing the caller ID clearly, and then pressed the answer button with doubts.

"Good afternoon, Josie...I think it's afternoon in America right now."

During the pause in the middle, Josie could even imagine Mycroft frowning and looking down at his watch.

"Yes, ten past five in the afternoon." Josie glanced at the quartz clock on the wall, and then asked, "What can bother you to call me yourself?"

"Oh, it's not a big thing, it's a... um... a small thing, and your intelligence is more than enough."

Josie couldn't help but roll her eyes at the last sentence. The person on the other end of the phone is indeed a brother of Sherlock.

"Let's talk." Anyway, she knew it was definitely not a good thing.

"I helped you find a good apartment in London. The location is very close to your new company. You can walk there in less than 10 minutes. The point is that I can help you pay half of the monthly rent."

Josie frowned, "Mycroft, I thought you knew that I'm not too poor to pay my own rent, and I've already found myself an apartment in London," after a pause, Josie suddenly Realizing that Mycroft's sudden unkind kindness might have something to do with someone, "ohmygod, don't tell me..."

"Yes, you are right, it has something to do with Sherlock."

"I don't intend to form a team with him." Josie felt dizzy when she thought that every time Sherlock lived in her apartment, she would follow him like his mother and take care of him.

"I didn't say that. Professor Jonathan must be the first to object to letting you share the rent with Sherlock. What's more, Sherlock has found a partner for the rent a while ago, so what I mean is," Mycroft paused. After a while, he continued, "I mean, let you live next door to him."

"..." Josie rubbed her forehead helplessly, and Mycroft almost forgot what Sherlock had just told her about finding a new roommate a month ago, "Is this any different from sharing a room with him? "

Mycroft on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, probably thinking of all kinds of bad things about his younger brother, "Although there are generally no... But I do this because I hope you can help me monitor he."

"Are you serious? How many of your people on Baker Street do I need to remind you to count yourself?"

"Those are people who take money to do things, they can't be trusted."

"You just bribed me with half the rent."

"This is not called bribery, and there is information about Sherlock, I still trust you."

"That's really thankful for your trust, but..."

"Don't forget that Adam Adrian's people are still in England, you can't protect yourself, and I can't let my brother take risks for you, Josie," Mycroft's cold voice came from the receiver, "None of us have an answer to last year's Christmas events."

But at least the people in Mycroft on Baker Street can gather Josie and Sherlock together for surveillance, and at least Sherlock is not too weak to protect the people around him.

Most importantly, Mycroft didn't want Sherlock to always be caught up in the mystery of Josie. Since he couldn't stop him, he sent Josie to him directly.

Josie was silent for a while, then said, "I see, please give me the address."

It was a cold January day in London, and after getting off the plane, Josie took a taxi to the address Mycroft had given her.

The scenery of London outside the car window is still the same. Josie has not been to this city for many years. She still remembers the scene when she and Sherlock came to London on weekends when she was a child. They took the bus to Charing Cross and then ran all the way through London. Lafalgar Square, the pigeons on the square are often scared by their running steps and fly around. Josie likes to go to the National Gallery of England. Painting always arouses her interest, but Sherlock doesn’t care where he goes every time. She had already memorized all the streets and alleys in London a long time ago. As long as she followed him, Josie would never worry about getting lost in London.

The first time Josie went to ride the London Eye was with Sherlock. At that time, it was just entering the 21st century. It was always a pity that Josie didn’t have the opportunity to sit in the London Eye once when she was studying abroad in her previous life. When the Millennium Year opened Josie couldn't wait to encourage Carly and Ellen to go together, but unfortunately they were not available at the time, so Sherlock went with her in the end.Josie could still remember the scene at that time. They were in the same cockpit with other people. When their cockpit rose to the highest point, Josie stood in front of the glass and looked down while holding on to the railing. The Thames River passing by the city has a panoramic view. Sherlock is sitting near the glass, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking sideways at the beautiful scenery outside the glass. The sun shines on the Thames River, sparkling water. Like the Milky Way, it is too beautiful to behold.

Sherlock said something at that time, Josie looked sideways at London outside the car window, lost in memory.

Yes, Sherlock said that the view of London from the London Eye is not as good as the view from a helicopter.

"Pfft!" The way Sherlock complained on the London Eye many years ago still makes Josie laugh when she thinks about it.

The elderly taxi uncle looked up at Josie in the rearview mirror, "Are you a tourist? Or do you want to move to London?"

"Going to live in London, my new job is in London."

"Oh, you have a London accent!"

Josie nodded: "Yes, I have lived in the suburbs of London since I was a child."

"I thought you were an American. I didn't pay attention when you told me the address just now. I thought you were an American, hahaha!"

"I went to school in the United States and haven't been to London for many years."

"Oh, don't say this in such a melancholy tone, I can't help but take you around a few more times."

Josie laughed out loud at the driver's uncle's joke, "Are all taxi drivers in London as kind as you?"

At 221b Baker Street at the same time, Sherlock was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, Watson was sitting at the desk browsing the news on the computer, and Mrs. Hudson had just returned from the coffee shop downstairs and brought two bags of coffee beans. There is a new message.

"Hey, I heard that the 220b next door has been rented out. It has finally been rented out. That room has been vacant for a long time. No wonder I saw a moving company's car coming here to move furniture a few days ago," Mrs. Hudson said. Put the coffee beans in the kitchen cabinet, "I don't know who rented it, the next door is big enough to accommodate two people, but I heard that the new tenant is only one person, if you have time, you can visit The new neighbor may be a young and beautiful girl."

"Young and beautiful girl?" Watson looked at Mrs. Hudson with disbelief on his face, "Come on, Mrs. Hudson, unless Dad is very rich, or he is very powerful and can make a lot of money, or there is A rich lover, otherwise how can a young girl afford the rent of such a big house in the city center?"

"Clever, Watson." Sherlock boasted without looking up.

Mrs. Hudson looked at her two tenants with some regret, "Oh, I forgot that you are not interested in girls anymore."

"...No, no, Mrs. Hudson," Watson argued hastily, "I'm very interested in girls."

"But Sherlock is not interested. I'm really worried that he will die alone in the future..." Mrs. Hudson glanced at the refrigerator and the experimental instruments on the dining table, "...together with these things. "

Watson glanced at the silent Sherlock, "I have to agree with you, Mrs. Hudson."

"Dong dong dong" three unhurried knocks on the door interrupted the conversation of the people upstairs.

Watson and Mrs. Hudson looked downstairs at the same time, and Sherlock put down the newspaper in his hand, and went downstairs to open the door himself under the surprised eyes of the other two people in the room.

"Does Sherlock have any visitors? Does he answer the door himself?" Watson asked.

Mrs. Hudson shook her head. "Oh, I didn't know that... ohmygod..."

Following Mrs. Hudson's last exclamation came Josie who was following Sherlock. She was wearing a smart white shirt and black wide-leg pants, a dark blue long coat, and long blonde hair. , because of the long-distance flight, there is no makeup, only eyebrows and lipstick, but it is amazing enough for 221b, a home of friends who doesn't often see beautiful young girls.

Watson quickly stood up, adjusted his clothes, "Hello, John Watson, Sherlock's assistant," and then pointed to Mrs. Hudson's direction with his eyes, "This is our landlord, ha Mrs. Desen, are you..."

"Hi, Josie? Jonathan, I'm a new neighbor. I live next door at 220b. Nice to meet you, Mr. Watson." Josie's tone was soft and friendly, and her beautiful blue eyes were full of smiles.

At this time, Watson had only one thought, that is, after having this weird roommate, Sherlock, the miracle finally reappeared in his life.

Ah, the young and beautiful female neighbor is no longer a dream...
