The spring rain in London in March is hazy, and even at [-] o'clock in the morning, the outline of the sun in the sky is still unclear. On the sidewalk are office workers hurrying in the rain. Mycroft's right hand is in the pocket of his trousers and his left hand is Holding a black long-handled umbrella, he stood expressionlessly under the eaves of a street coffee shop. The rain fell to the ground like thin lines along the eaves, forming a rain wall in front of him.
Josie, who walked to work as usual, was walking on the sidewalk with an umbrella in her hand. The only difference was that she had to go to a different place before going to work today. She had to meet someone, and this person was Mycroft. .Josie walked to the eaves at the entrance of the coffee shop, put away the umbrella in her hand, and shook the rainwater on the umbrella. The water droplets flew away from the umbrella with force, and Josie put the umbrella on the umbrella stand at the door , and then stepped into the coffee shop, Mycroft followed behind her, but still held the black umbrella in his left hand.
The two sat silently from meeting to sitting down, and it was not until the waiter brought the coffee that Mycroft asked, "Tell me, what can you do with me?"
Josie held the spoon and swirled it gently in the cup, and the aroma of the coffee in the porcelain cup wafted into her nostrils, "Redbeard is not a dog, Sherlock has modified his own memory, right, Mycroft? "
The man opposite was stunned, the hand holding the coffee cup stopped in mid-air, and finally put the cup back on the table, "It's not important."
"No, it's very important." Josie stopped her movements, "Adrian wouldn't mention Redbeard to me before the explosion for no reason, and tell me what happened at that time."
Mycroft raised his eyebrows, and simply relaxed his body and sat back on the chair, "Josie, if I remember correctly, you were only one year old at that time."
"You're right, but I remember everything, including," Josie paused, lowering her eyes so that Mycroft couldn't see her expression clearly, "including the dead youngest daughter of the Holmes family."
After Josie's voice fell, everything around her seemed to be on the pause button, and the air was eerily quiet. Mycroft was silent for a long time before he said quietly, "That's right, Redbeard is indeed not a dog."
"What happened at that time?" Josie sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, "Sherlock has changed since you came back from Musgrave Manor. He started to occasionally mention something when he came to see me. There's only a dog called Redbeard, I thought it was the dog he had before we met, but Uncle's allergies can't allow Sherlock to have a dog, and..." Josie took a deep breath, "And Ou Rose, as you said, I was only over a year old at that time, and no one explained what happened to me, but even if I had no intersection with her, I still remembered that such a person existed, but later ?I only heard auntie and my mother crying in the room about the grief of their daughter's death. I can understand the pain that adults don't want to talk about because of the loss of their children. Even if Sherlock completely forgot the existence of Olos, I would I can understand that he may have edited his memory because he felt the pain of losing his sister, but what happened to the red beard?"
When she first time traveled, Josie met Olos, the youngest sister of the Sherlock Holmes family. But at that time, Josie was still too young to walk smoothly. She was just a baby about one year old. , so she has not had much intersection with her at all. In her memory, Olos is a little girl who doesn't talk much but has clear eyes. Occasionally, she can be seen by Sherlock's side. After three seasons of Shenxia's time traveler, Josie is familiar with most of the plots, but she doesn't remember such a character appearing in the original drama at all. She also suspected that Olos was also a time traveler, but after a few observations But it doesn't seem like it is, Olos is just another child of the Sherlock Holmes family with super high IQ and deep thoughts.
Later she thought, this is nothing strange, she can appear in Shenxia's world, what else can't?Then the Marvel characters and Adrian that appeared further confirmed her idea. In addition, her impression of Olos was limited to the few meetings and conversations when she was about one year old. This once-present character who is now mentioned and makes the living sad chooses to ignore, and this ignores until after that night in the amusement park.
If Red Beard was simply a dog that Sherlock had raised, then Adrian would not have said those words to her at the last moment before the explosion. He was implying to her something that she had ignored or It is an important thing that she doesn't know, then go further and boldly assume that if the red beard is not a dog that makes Mr. Holmes allergic, then what can make Sherlock feel dependent and even make him sad Modify your memory?
What about Olos?The youngest child of the Sherlock Holmes family seemed to be forgotten by everyone overnight. To the adults, she was already dead. To Sherlock, the younger sister seemed to have never existed. The appearance of the dog Redbeard The disappearance of Oulos happened almost at the same time. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?Most importantly, it is impossible for Mycroft to know what the red beard is, and it is impossible for the Holmes and his wife not to know, but why has no one mentioned it?
Josie spent two weeks in the hospital bed thinking about all these things, and she recalled them one by one, starting from the first day she traveled.She tried hard to recall what was wrong in the past 24 years and she hadn't noticed it. She thought of Mrs. Holmes who showed envy every time after seeing her getting along with Carly, as if she was recalling the past. She remembered that she had picked up a stray puppy when she was three or four years old, Mr. Holmes who hardly came to her house during that time.Those seemingly normal memories gradually emerged in Josie's mind, and she connected them together, all the memories seemed to point to something beyond her imagination.
After much hesitation, Josie still called Mycroft.
"For some things, it's better not to know than to know." Mycroft glanced at his watch and stood up. "It's getting late. I have something to do at nine o'clock, so excuse me."
Josie looked up at the man standing up, and said, "Your coffee hasn't been touched yet."
Mycroft lowered his head and glanced at the full cup of coffee on the table, wisps of steam were still floating on the surface of the cup, "Time is running out, so we can make an appointment another day."
"Mycroft!" Josie's voice suddenly rose, and she looked at the other party with uncontrollable anger, "What are you hiding? Adrian won't know about the red beard for no reason. Then he told me for no reason that there must be other people behind him. If you can be sure that the mysterious person behind him will not cause any danger, then well, I will definitely not ask you, but the current situation is that you cannot, Mycroft, you can't be sure what kind of danger you will cause," Josie stood up and looked directly into Mycroft's eyes, "ah, no, no, you know who that person is, Mycroft , you know who that person is, I can read your thoughts, tell me who is the figure that just flashed through your mind?"
"That's enough, Josie," Mycroft frowned. "Don't follow Sherlock's example and question me like this. As I said, there are some things you can't know."
"And Sherlock? Can you keep him safe, Mycroft? Can you make sure that man is no threat to him?"
Mycroft remained silent and did not answer. Josie stared at him for a few seconds and then smiled mockingly, "You can't, Mycroft, even you are not sure."
"At least I can guarantee that that person is under my control now, Josie."
"What about the future?"
Mycroft looked down at his watch again, and stopped answering Josie's question, "It's time for me to go, and it's time for you to go to work, Sherlock...he doesn't need these memories yet."
The spring rain was still pattering down, and the black car parked on the side of the road drove away in the rain and fog. Josie, holding an umbrella, stood quietly on the side of the road and looked at the shadow of the car until it disappeared, then turned and left.
Josie gave Sherlock a key to her apartment in order to prevent Sherlock from always going over the walls and windows to pick the lock into her house, so when Sherlock came to Josie's apartment according to the usual dinner time, he found Before he came back from work, he directly opened the door with the key Josie gave him.This was the first time he had come to Josie's apartment for dinner since that night in the amusement park. After changing his shoes, without turning on the light, he just sat down on the sofa in the living room.
When Josie returned to the apartment, she saw the half-opened apartment door. She was startled immediately, and used her ability to find that it was Sherlock who was sitting in her room before she opened the door and walked in with a sigh of relief. .
"You came back three or ten minutes later than usual. Since there is still beef in the kitchen that you took out to defrost in the morning, you should not go to the supermarket to buy groceries." Sherlock looked at Josie who entered the door. Working overtime on Friday... No, you worked overtime."
"It's not overtime, it's just that I didn't finish some work, and I stayed for half an hour." In fact, it was to make up for the half-hour leave she took in the morning. Josie turned on the light in the room and walked into the kitchen, "Watson Didn't come?"
"He's out on a date."
"I plan to go to the hospital to see Melissa tomorrow." Both Melissa and her husband were kidnapped by Adrian on the day of the amusement park incident. Although they were successfully rescued in the end, they were still injured, especially Melissa. Sha was so frightened that she is still in the hospital.
"Josie."
Josie was lowering her head and rolling up her sleeves to wash the vegetables, when Sherlock called her, she responded, "Huh?"
"You asked me in the hospital if Adrian had returned to the original world, and my answer was no."
Sherlock's words made Josie look up, and she looked at Sherlock who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, "Why?"
"It's obvious because Mycroft found his body under the Ferris wheel."
"Then what if he is like me, with brainwaves, or soul, returning to his original world?" But after asking this question, Josie continued without waiting for Sherlock's answer: "Forget it." That's fine, as long as I know he won't come out to do anything, even if he travels to Krypton, it's none of my business."
"Joe..."
"Ah," Josie patted herself on the head, "You don't know what Krypton is, do you? I almost forgot that you are a big detective who doesn't even know the common sense that the earth revolves around the sun."
"These are useless information for me, why should I remember? My brain is only used to remember the most useful information."
As if thinking of something, Josie suddenly looked at Sherlock with a smirk, "You dare to say that, what will you do if you encounter a case related to physics and astronomy in the future?"
"..."
They were all the ones who laughed at him for his lack of astronomical knowledge. Compared to John, Josie was still more sophisticated.
The author has something to say: The small theater——
Josie: Sigh, I'm so worried about my girlfriend being so hard on Max for the sake of my boyfriend's life, but my boyfriend's brother is still so weak. Sherlock: What bad things did Mycroft do again? (Turns back sarcastically) I bet you gained at least six pounds, Mycroft.
