Countdown all over the world

"Lestrade's men, I'll use them for a while. If they don't slow down on purpose, nothing should be delayed."

Looking at the message from his subordinates, Mycroft sighed helplessly.

If not can slow down...

Sherlock's level of sarcasm is really rising by the day!

Mycroft shook his head, and told the people below: "Let them pay attention, if there is something special today, don't let Detective Lestrade and the others contribute."

Although the people in the intelligence organization are not arranged in this way, it is not easy for everyone who can enter the intelligence organization.The work of ordinary subordinates is naturally available at any time.

Mycroft looked at Sherlock's familiar handwriting under his hand, pursed his lips and smiled.

Xiali, this can be regarded as a help.When you go home next time, can you let me go.

I really don't want my mother to keep nagging him about major events in his life...

As for McCoff's mind, whether Mr. Detective can sense it is probably another story.At least, now he is in a hurry, ready to explore a valley.

"Can you hurry up?" Annie looked at the sunset, feeling more and more urgent.

Hearing this, Holmes' manipulating hand became a little bit stronger.The poor car was squealing with exhaustion and didn't really pick up much speed.

"That's where!"

Their eyes lit up, and they looked at each other with a smile: "Sure enough, there is a wooden house."

Turning the corner, beside a very small water depression, is the wooden house in the sketch.It was in such disrepair that even the two broken boards in front of it were identical.

Annie narrowed her eyes, and turned to look at the half-sunset sunset.

He stopped Holmes lightly: "Wait."

Holmes froze when he was running, but when he turned his head, there was no impatience in his eyes, which surprised Annie a bit.

"What is the matter?" asked Holmes.

Annie took two steps forward and stood in front of Holmes without a trace.

Holmes looked at it with some doubts, and Anne blocked herself behind.This is... protection?

Holmes, who had hardly experienced such treatment, was a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "What happened?"

Annie didn't speak, but stopped Holmes and narrowed her eyes.

She can't just see numbers on top of people's heads.

The brightness of the numbers is not even affected by any occlusions.

It was as if they were floating there out of thin air, and even if the people below couldn't see them, the numbers would still be clear.

The only possibility is that if you are too far away, you will not be able to see it.

But now, they are standing outside the cabin.The situation in front of her still didn't change at all in Annie's eyes.

Clean and clean, without the slightest light of numbers.

Annie covered the figures of the two, and very cautiously opened the door with a wooden board from a distance.

Inside, it was empty.

Holmes' face was slightly stiff, and he took two steps forward in disbelief, looking back and forth in the narrow wooden house with his eyes.

Countless clues show that...

"Watson was brought here before, and was transferred away half an hour ago," said Holmes.

Annie nodded: "Yes."

She looked around, knocked on the roof with a wooden board, and dropped an envelope.

"They even left a message for the next game."

Anne handed the envelope to Holmes, and Holmes took it with a heavy face and looked it up and down.

"This is Watson's usual envelope, and even the folds on it are exactly the same as those I saw on his desk this morning."

Holmes looked at Annie, and the two looked at each other for a while before they both nodded.

"Open it," said Anne.

There is a piece of paper in the envelope, very crude straw.

There are only two lines above.

"You are late, Mr Holmes.

If you want to find Watson, you can only wait for my next game to start..."

Annie took the piece of paper from Holmes who was a little stunned, and looked at it.

"Can you do a handwriting comparison?" she asked.

Holmes shook his head: "This is Watson's note."

A group of people who have observed Sherlock Holmes for a long time found the door at his personal exhibition, forcing the big detective to start a tense game.

Even Annie, who was implicated innocently, felt a little miserable.

Why did he suddenly provoke such a group of people?

Holmes stood where he was, dazed for a long time before turning his head to look at Anne.

"Help me," he said.

Annie looked at him unexpectedly, she wanted to ask something.Want to be sure that it is really Sherlock Holmes who is seeking help from a non-expert like her?

However, Anne couldn't say a word when she looked at Holmes who looked particularly shocked because of her friend's injury.

She just took two steps forward and raised her hand.After standing behind Holmes for a while, he chose to pat him on the shoulder.Instead of a friendly hug: "Okay."

At this moment, Anne decided to help Holmes.Not just for his disturbed personal exhibition and reputation, but also for this man and his poor companion.

"I'll help you."

……

As night fell, Inspector Lestrade returned to the city with his men, frustrated that nothing had been achieved.

Everyone is exhausted after a long day of running around.

Before one of his subordinates packed up his things and left, he couldn't help but said, "Inspector, you just trust Holmes' judgment so much! Could it be that we have been completely led astray and made useless efforts!"

As soon as these words came out, although everyone did not respond one by one like before.But they also silently slowed down the work of cleaning up under their hands, listening secretly.

Inspector Lestrade shook his head helplessly, looking at the group of people under him.

It is clear that every time she doubts, Sherlock Holmes will find out the truth by the way. Why so many times, I still can't remember it!

Mr. Inspector, who hated iron and steel, sighed: "You should know Holmes' professionalism. There is no need. I always blame him here."

The subordinate who was scolded was a little uncomfortable, but he had to admit that he just wanted to complain.

Inspector Lestrade looked at the group of people under his hand, and knocked on the table in a moment of frustration: "There are so many people. If you have time to complain about others, it's better to study hard. You can't do it every time. If there is any problem, I need to consult Holmes!"

The subordinates lowered their heads one after another. You must know that there are specialties in the art industry.

Holmes has been good at reasoning since he was a child, and there are even many talents around him for him to learn from.Even the math problem a few days ago was solved by him and his friends one by one.

To tell the truth, even they were somewhat accustomed to questioning Holmes.

Of course, only a little bit.

After the people below packed up and went home, Inspector Lestrade took out the note with a little fear.

"Inspector Lestrade, I think you should come here.

Please tell my dear Sherlock Holmes, when the next game starts, please start from that Annie's personal exhibition.After all, the starting point must be the same every time in order to judge the fairness of the speed.

Isn't it? "

God knows how scared he was when he first found this note.

The note was balled up into a ball, and it hit him so abruptly.

And under his orders, no one noticed that the place was unusual.Even, apart from him and the people he brought, no one appeared.

No one, no one.

When Inspector Lestrade handed the note to Holmes, he had no other reaction.He just quietly took the note and read it several times.

"Is there anything I can do?" Lestrade asked.

Holmes shook his head: "No. However, I'm afraid you will be busy for a while."

As expected, although reluctantly.Lestrade just sighed, and patted Holmes on the shoulder lightly: "Next time, Watson will be rescued."

He comforted him, but he didn't know where his self-confidence came from.

However, although Holmes may not think so, he, Lestrade, feels that Mr. Detective is his friend.

A word or two of comfort and help within his ability is what a friend needs to do at this time.

After the inspector left, Holmes called out Anne who was hiding.

"Why do you not wish to see him again?" asked Holmes.

Anne carefully avoided the obstacles in Holmes' room and came to the window.

Looking at the back of Inspector Lestrade going away, he said, "I think that the young man who chose my solo exhibition should not be Watson randomly."

"Why not?" asked Holmes.

To tell the truth, Anne did think so at first.

Perhaps, it was the other party who discovered the abducted Watson and brought him out from the youth.

but……

The ones tied to the young man's body are not easy to operate.

If the other party already knew Holmes and the others in this way, why did they choose such a complicated process?

Anne looked at the letter paper on Watson's desk and his handwriting.

She lowered her head and thought to herself: There is only one possibility, that is, the opponent has already included herself in this game from the very beginning.

But why?

She wanted to stay in her own house and rarely even go out.

What's the point of adding yourself?

The answers to all these seem so confusing.

However, before Annie finished thinking, someone knocked on the door of 221B Baker Street downstairs.

"Xia Li, come and open the door."
