In a blink of an eye, it is already the beginning of school season.

Emily and the other eight students arrange homestays in different areas according to the different colleges they belong to.

[-]B Baker Street is the address where Emily is arranged to live.The landlord is a kind old lady. She lives alone on the first floor and arranges for Emily to live on the second floor. There is also a small study room on the third floor for Emily to use.

Emily is very happy with her new home.She knew in her heart that being able to be arranged to live here must have the face of her boss and the care of Mr. Mycroft Holmes.

Where is Baker Street?The headquarters of Sherlock Holmes, the childish ghost detective.If you choose the safest neighborhood in the UK, Baker Street must be on the list - of course, not only because of the big detective, but also because of the big detective's brother nicknamed "British Government".

That night, Emily was taken to a club in the suburbs of London in that very high-end black car. Mr. Mycroft Holmes welcomed her politely and said that if there were any difficulties in the future, he could call the phone number.

After that, Emily was invited to dinner by that Mr. Mycroft Holmes without knowing what to eat, and she was sent directly to [-]B Baker Street with her luggage.

How should I put it, Mycroft Holmes, in Emily's opinion, really lived up to his nickname of "British Government".

Before seeing the deity, Emily thought that the big detective's brother was at most a little imposing, but compared to other superheroes she had seen before, this "British Government" was just an ordinary person.

But I never expected that just after meeting, Emily almost knelt down and sang Conquer.

"Miss Emily, you don't mind if I call you that." The three-piece suit was neat and clean, and a black umbrella that seemed to be used as a walking stick. Mycroft Holmes stood at the desk smiling like a gentleman and speaking politely. , but Emily felt that the other party was very dangerous for no reason, "Mr. Stark called specifically to say that his personal assistant was coming to London and asked me to take care of him. But I didn't expect that you are such a young and beautiful lady .”

As a traveler who has read both the original book and the TV series, Emily does not believe that the "British Government" will not know what happened in Scotland Yard.

"Of course not, Mr. Holmes. Mr. Stark also often mentioned you. He told me that you were his friend for many years." Since the other party didn't mention it, Emily was also happy to pretend that nothing happened.

But unfortunately, although Mycroft is willing to take care of Emily for the sake of Iron Man, he can't let go of the fact that his brother Sherlock was exposed before, "I believe you have seen my brother before." , please allow me to take him to apologize to you."

It’s over.

Emily's first reaction at the time was—to get into trouble again.

Because of being exposed by the big detective before, Emily just wanted to get back the scene, so she didn't care about anything.

But at this moment, looking at the man standing in front of him with a smile on his face but still unable to conceal the aura of the superior, Emily was suddenly startled.

How would she explain what she knew about Sherlock Holmes?

As a foreigner who has never set foot in the UK and has only read a few Dr. Watson blogs on the Internet, how should Emily explain her description of the detective's family situation?Especially since she also has a deadly ex-boyfriend, Moriarty?

She is confident that she can fool S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, but can she really fool Mycroft Holmes, who stands at the top of the pyramid with his IQ?

In the Marvel universe, force sometimes trumps intelligence, but in "Sherlock", IQ is the absolute master.

"Mr. Sherlock... is very interesting." Emily was not sure what the "British government" was thinking, so she decided to observe the situation before she said, "I was rude before, and I hope Mr. Sherlock Holmes I won't be offended." Li Duo didn't blame him, so he apologized to his younger brother first, and see if he can relax.

"I know Sherlock's temperament best. He must have been rude first." Mycroft, who clearly knew the ins and outs of the matter, had no intention of letting Emily go. "Mr. Stark entrusted you to my care, and as a result But when something like this happened, I really didn’t take good care of it.”

The "British Government" personally apologized, and Emily was quite surprised, "No, no, it's none of your business." She had an ominous premonition.

"There is also the matter of Professor Edward Brown, please forgive me." As a person standing at the top of the pyramid, Mycroft's attitude towards Emily at this moment is already what he thinks of when he takes Tony Stark into consideration. Can do the most polite.If it was someone else who revealed the situation of the parents of the two Holmes brothers, they would have been directly arrested by his agents at this moment and interrogated in secret.

"Ah, thank you." Emily only knew Professor Brown, not acquaintance, so she was surprised by the death of the professor, but she was not sad.She thought that Mycroft Holmes had mentioned it just out of courtesy, but she soon found out that she was wrong.

"Professor Brown's death is really regrettable," Mycroft sat behind the desk, his height advantage allowed him to see all of Emily's little movements clearly, "Miss Emily was terrified at the time." right?"

The death of Professor Brown comes up twice in the mouth of Mycroft Holmes.Emily, who was highly focused at the moment, understood what the man opposite him meant.

If Emily was really keen enough to deduce the family situation of the great detective Sherlock Holmes through a few blogs of Dr. Watson and within half an hour of meeting each other, then why would she be treated as a police officer by Scotland Yard? The murderer is helpless when dealing with it, so he can only rashly ask a stranger for help?Even if that stranger is an old friend of Iron Man.Judging from Emily's previous performance, she is the type that least likes to cause trouble to others. If she is really keen enough to penetrate into the privacy of Sherlock Holmes, then there is no reason for her not to be able to see the cause of Professor Brown's death.There is no reason why you can't take care of yourself.

This is a temptation, or Mycroft is giving Emily a chance to explain at this moment.

"Professor Brown is an amiable and respectable elder, and we are all very sad about his passing." The big detective's brother was really hard to dismiss.If Emily hadn't focused all her energies on observing words and demeanor at this moment, she would never have understood what Mycroft meant, "Mr. Sherlock can find the real culprit, and Professor Brown can rest in peace if he wants to." Rest in peace, ghost!They were killed inexplicably. Professor Brown estimated that even a ghost would not let those two people go.

Mycroft sat idly, not answering.The meaning is obvious, let Emily go on.

"When Mandy Patinkin died, I really suspected that the people around him were poisoned." Emily adjusted her sitting posture and tried to organize her thoughts in her heart. "When we just boarded the plane, I noticed that The perfume smell from Secretary Porter is the same as the perfume used by Mr. Patinkin's female companion, Miss Angela." But Emily has always been not interested in other people's privacy, "But it is also possible that a group of people are together It got on after staying for a long time, or it got on accidentally when helping to keep things. Also, the hand cream used by two people is the same, I was really confused at the time." Male secretary Porter and female companion Angie La was about the same age and appearance, and Emily did gossip for a moment, but she forgot about it afterwards. "Mr. Patinkin kept talking with Professor Brown on the plane, and I fell asleep because the plane departed very late. I was woken up by my classmates 10 minutes before the plane landed." Emily said at the departure I stayed late at the Avengers Tower the night before, and I couldn't sleep and got up early in the morning, so I fell asleep not long after boarding the plane.

"After getting off the plane, Mr. Patinkin suddenly fell down and died when he was saying goodbye to us. I was also surprised." Emily felt a little wronged.Mandy Patinkin would not have slept on the plane if she had known she would be poisoned.Now that there is no evidence, Emily doesn't know if her guessed answer can win Mycroft's trust and let him dispel his doubts about her.

"I did suspect that it was Mr. Patinkin's girlfriend or secretary who killed him because of love. But Mr. Patinkin is a businessman, and it is very likely that he was murdered by his business competitor." Emily What is known about Mandy Patinkin is that the other party intends to cooperate with Stark Industries, and nothing else.She couldn't figure out who was going to kill him, "Later Professor Brown died suddenly, and we were all surprised." Because Professor Brown also died, Emily even suspected conspiracy theory at the time, Mandy Patinkin and Brown The professor had known each other for a long time, and the deaths of the two of them were hidden, and there might be some big secret hidden.

"Mandy Patinkin and Edward Brown are old acquaintances," Mycroft said suddenly.

"...Old acquaintance?!" Emily really didn't expect it, "But they acted as if they just met..." Could it be that her previous conspiracy theory was correct?

But if there is something else hidden, the great detective Sherlock will not fail to see it, "Then why did Mr. Sherlock say that Secretary Potter and Miss Angela murdered Mr. Patinkin..." Emily used to watch Sir Conan Doyle has all nine "The Detective Cases of Sherlock Holmes" and the three seasons of BBC "Sherlock" and two seasons of the American drama "Basic Deduction". make wrong decisions.

When Mycroft received the call from Tony Stark, he did hear the other party mention Emily's specialness, and he had indeed seen the girl's sensitivity in the materials compiled by his subordinates, but at the moment he looked A small hint immediately figured out the joint Iron Man's little assistant, and he couldn't help feeling sorry—why the little assistant Iron Man Tony Stark randomly found was so smart, and his subordinates were so stupid, "The matter involved A transnational drug production case."

So the big detective deliberately caught the wrong person and disturbed the audience?

At this point, Emily knew she couldn't ask any more.However, judging from the current situation, it seems that she has passed the test of Mr. Mycroft Holmes of the "British Government"?

"Mr. Holmes." Emily actually didn't like the way Mycroft said things in three circles.She likes to speak clearly, and she likes to speak up when there is a misunderstanding.Seeing that the alarm was lifted at this moment, she didn't intend to follow the other party around in circles, "I hope you can forgive me for all the offenses I made to your parents before."

Knock on the blackboard!That's the point.

Emily can hate Sherlock and tease Sherlock, but because of the existence of Mycroft, the situation of the Holmes brothers' parents should be kept secret.The reason why Emily was brought here by Mycroft today to say hello but to test her, and if she fails the test, she might be interrogated is because of this reason.

Even, Emily suddenly thought that the big detective Sherlock let her go after confirming that someone from his brother Mycroft came to pick her up.

Therefore, the temptation at this moment was carried out under the tacit understanding of the two Holmes brothers.

I really knelt down.

The two brothers with high IQ are amazing, and Emily said that she is a mortal and can only look up to her.

The alarm was lifted, and Mycroft invited Emily to have dinner with him in order to express his apology.

To be able to have a meal with Mycroft Holmes is considered by many to be an extremely rare opportunity and an honor.But for Emily, she has only one feeling - stomach hurts.

The "British Government" talked kindly after the whole meal, but he couldn't hide his temptations, but he behaved like a gentleman, but he couldn't hide the aura of a superior. He seemed warm and thoughtful, but he refused people thousands of miles away. To sum up, it was Mr. Mycroft's whole meal. They are all using every cell in their body to say a word - I am willing to have a meal with you, a stupid goldfish, and you should feel supremely honored.

#fall!My idol, what kind of friends do you have! #

No matter how painful my stomach is, I still have to eat.

The only thing that pleased Emily that night was that she found out that Mycroft's dinner was at the Diogenes Club.

As a time traveler, being able to have a meal at the Diogenes Club is a worthwhile trip.

Time back to the present.

The course schedule of the exchange program is not very tight. Apart from attending classes, Emily can spend half a day wandering around London almost every day.

The house in [-]B is not far from the house in [-]B where Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson live. Emily always meets each other when she comes back from get out of class or shopping.

"Doctor Watson." Emily had a good impression of Watson.The doctor is not tall, but probably because he is a former military doctor, he looks very safe.

"Good afternoon, Emily." Compared to Emily's good impression of Watson, Watson's feelings for Emily are a bit subtle.As a good friend of Sherlock, Watson has never seen him have a relationship with any woman outside of work.And the scene that happened at Scotland Yard that day really impressed Watson a little too deeply.

The girl in a red wool dress is exquisite and beautiful like a doll, she almost falls into the arms of her friend in black suit pants and a dark blue shirt, the nails of the same color as the dress are on Sherlock's hair and His cheeks flashed, his tone of voice was ambiguous, but his whole person showed the innocence unique to little girls.

Watson swore that he was not the only one who was dumbfounded at the time.

Sherlock is proud and intelligent, and he has always been the only one who hates others.I didn't see that as soon as Sherlock appeared, Scotland Yard, from Inspector Lestrade to the next courier police officer, would like to shrink their necks, for fear of being caught by the big detective and revealing something that they don't want others to know.

That night was the first time in my life that someone was able to get Sherlock back.

And not only came back, but also teased Sherlock!

At that time, all the people present were engrossed in #老天有眼维石奥纳结果被健康的#, #finally someone revealed Sherlock’s old bottom and avenged us so happy#, #我把that girl actually dared to moles Sherlock#, # Ah ah ah that girl is so beautiful why it wasn't me who was molested #, #我着夏维不忻不停了他是味呻呀# in the silent cry.

When the matter finally ended and the people of Scotland Yard caught the murderer, before Watson could walk out of the gate of Scotland Yard, he saw his friend step forward and push the petite girl directly onto the hood of Mycroft's car .

Recalling afterwards, Watson thinks that his first reaction at that time was - Sherlock was mad with anger.

Not to mention that the seemingly well-behaved girl is not easy to provoke, just at this moment Mycroft sent someone to pick him up, even if Sherlock became angry and wanted to get back the place, he couldn't do anything at Scotland Yard!

Fortunately, Sherlock just held the girl down and said something before letting her go.Otherwise, Watson really didn't dare to think about it - under the watchful eyes of everyone, his friend pushed an underage girl on the car.

Of course, the girl angrily yelled "childish" at Sherlock, despite being let go in time.

#That picture is too beautiful, Watson refuses to recall#

"Is Dr. Watson going shopping?" Emily just came back from shopping and will go to class in the afternoon. "The supermarket around the corner has an event today. All canned food is [-]% off, and bread is [-]% off." Share News about discounts is the first step in building a good relationship with your neighbors.Emily will live in England for a few more months. Even with the "British Government" Mycroft Holmes as guarantee, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If something really happens, Dr. Watson, who lives closer, can get there sooner. , "Hurry up, it will be snatched away in a while." Dr. Watson, who lives on his pension in his memory, does not seem to be rich.

Watson had a feeling of being seen through when facing Sherlock, "Okay, thank you." Seeing the little girl smiling sweetly, Watson could only comfort himself because he was thinking too much.

After shopping at noon, Emily went home to check Dr. Watson's favorability, changed her clothes, and happily went to class.

This afternoon's Western History was taught by a prestigious old professor. Emily ran all the way to grab a good seat, and finally arrived four or ten minutes earlier and grabbed the middle seat in the first row.

In the empty classroom, only Emily was there.

"That's weird..." The professor who taught the class was a golden sign of the Faculty of Arts. Even if Emily arrived four or ten minutes earlier, the classroom would be empty for no reason.

"Could it be that today's class has been cancelled?" Emily took out her phone to check her emails.

There was nothing in the mailbox except a few photos from my friend Linda.

"Tick tock, tick tock," Emily heard the faint sound of water dripping on the floor.

This lecture theater is not too big, it can only accommodate about [-] people.Because it is a building of the last century, except for the tables and chairs, the whole classroom has a sense of quaint history.

"What's the sound..." This classroom is located on the first floor of the teaching building. Outside the window is a row of pine trees, which are covered with snow at the moment, giving a special view.The classroom is the innermost room on the first floor. If you want to enter this classroom, you must go through a long corridor, which is the only way to enter and exit the classroom.

At this moment, Emily felt that the sound was coming from the corridor at the door of the classroom.

Could it be that the bathroom is leaking?

Emily immediately dismissed the answer.

She's not Spider-Man Peter Parker with well-developed five senses. If it's the sound of a leaking faucet, it's impossible for her to hear it from such a distance.

"Who's there?" Emily felt a little scared in the empty classroom at the moment, "Hello, is anyone out there?"

"Tick, tick..."

No one answered.

Emily sat alone for a while longer, but still no one came.

"Tick, tick, tick..." The sound of water dripping kept ringing.

Unable to sit still, Emily picked up her schoolbag and planned to go outside to see why no one came so far, and what was still ringing.

The light in the corridor outside that was still on when Emily first arrived did not know when it went out. At this moment, the entire corridor is empty, only the "tick" sound of water droplets, and the sound of Emily's footsteps.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" The atmosphere was too weird, and Emily remembered the "haunted incident" in her apartment that night.

"Hello?" Emily felt that she was getting closer to the sound of water droplets, and suddenly, she felt something dripping on her head.

When I touched it with my hand, the dripping liquid seemed to be dark red in the dim light.

Taking a few steps back, Emily pulled out her phone and turned on the light to see what was dripping.

"what……"

Where the phone light illuminated, a human face was lying quietly on the high chandelier in the corridor, dark red liquid dripping down the long hair——

"Tick, tick, tick..."

"Ahhhh!"
