Countdown all over the world

"Bang" sound.

Mrs. Hudson poked her head out from downstairs and protested to Holmes who was slumped upstairs for no reason: "You should be quieter. Otherwise, Anne won't come back."

Yes, Anne was only visiting the Watsons for two days.For Mrs. Hudson, life seemed like years.She really suspected that these two days had deepened the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes by a thousandth of an inch!

This is simply an unbearable loss.

"Today, you have to go to find Anne." Mrs. Hudson announced.

Rebecca was dragged by her, with a dazed expression on her face.But he still nodded foolishly and looked at Holmes with a pair of clear eyes.The implication could not have been more obvious.

Holmes sighed helplessly: This is really the person with the lowest IQ on Baker Street.Poor Rebecca...

Sherlock Holmes, who felt that he had a high IQ and was supposed to be saving others, was unable to react when he was pushed out of the door after several resistances to no avail.

Angrily, he pulled his hat into his head and covered it over his head.Holding the suitcase that Mrs. Hudson packed up at some point in one hand, she turned and left with her head raised.

If we don't keep him here, Holmes will naturally have a better place to go!

The road was full of momentum, and even the pony carriage was urged to go fast by Mr. Holmes.They arrived at McCoff's mansion in a short time.

The door was closed tightly.

Holmes looked at the door in a daze and hesitated for a while.As if confirming, he searched for several clues in front of the door, confirmed the fact that McCoff was at home, and then raised his hand and knocked three times.

Neither fast nor slow, neither loud nor noisy.

What responded to him was calm.

"Mycroft, don't play dumb. I know you're in there," cried Holmes.

Mycroft hid behind the door, listening helplessly to his younger brother Xiali yelling outside.I just feel a terrible headache, why did I get called over after two days of my birthday?

"Xiali, you should be looking for Annie." Mycroft looked helpless, not hiding his dislike at all.

Unexpectedly, Holmes, who always spoke directly, paused at this moment.His face froze, and he turned his head extremely slowly: "She has something to do."

McCoff glanced at his duplicity younger brother, and said earnestly: "You have something to do. Annie is clearly visiting the Watsons. Their second child is just one year old. If you don't go, this is already It doesn't fit anymore."

Holmes turned his head away, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Mycroft sighed very lightly.A hand patted Holmes on the shoulder.Gently squeezed: "If it was a few years ago, I would not have thought that you would enter the palace of marriage, and you would still be so in line with everyone's aesthetic model. Xiali, when you grow up, you should deal with these things in the usual way. trivia."

Facing Holmes' reluctant gaze, Mycroft continued bravely, "No matter what conflicts there are between Annie and you, you should separate them from her and clarify them. Otherwise, if you leave this problem, you will regret it later."

He spoke persuasively, and it can be said that he exhausted all the patience that Mycroft could give.

Holmes sighed, and just stared at Mycroft very seriously for a long time.Just then the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he said, "You, a loner, can't understand it. If I tell you, I can't explain it clearly."

McCoff was caught off guard, his face full of grievances.He glared at Holmes, pushed him viciously outside, and closed the door carelessly.

He didn't care about his usual image of a gentleman.

The few words yelled through the crack of the door were still somewhat exasperated: "Then go and find Watson, who is happy with the family, hurry up, hurry up!"

Holmes couldn't dodge in time and was almost bumped on the nose.He rubbed his nose, and was silent for a while at the inexplicably angry Mycroft.Fang Cai shook his head: "Sure enough, I'm getting old, and I can't even control my temper. Mycroft, you should drink the tea I brought you a few days ago. I heard that it has a very good recuperating effect."

Mycroft was in the house, and Holmes was so angry that he didn't know what to do.He could only hit the deaf man, and simply walked to his study, hoping to find peace.

At the door, Holmes stood for a long time.It wasn't until people on both sides started to look at him that he sighed.He waved his hand very casually, and greeted a carriage: "Go to Fore Manor."

Even if you don't want to, you still have to admit it.This matter cannot be resolved by escaping.

After all, that was the first time his Annie had asked in all these years.If it wasn't for...how could Holmes not be willing to satisfy her?

"Annie...you have given me a big problem this time." Holmes squeezed his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

At the Fore Manor, Annie was holding Mr. Watson Jr., busy because of a sudden accident.

Mary was a little embarrassed: "Edward always makes surprises like this, making your clothes dirty."

Annie shook her head nonchalantly: "It's okay, everything has been changed. No wonder Edward's face is full of reluctance. It turns out that he wants to make things easier, doesn't he?"

She moved closer to Edward, coaxing Mr. Watson to play with a smile.

Seeing Annie's happy look, Mary also sat aside.

"Speaking of which, are you really going to stay here for ten days and half a month this time?" Mary asked.

Annie didn't take it seriously, she was teasing Mr. Watson, she just looked up at Mary and said, "Of course, this kid is really cute. I want to see more."

Mary hesitated, "Then... won't Mr. Holmes miss you?"

Annie paused, her eyes shifted slightly when she looked at Edward.She was silent for a while, and then said slowly in a low voice: "I miss him too. But if this problem can't be resolved, I can't let him keep running away."

"Who said I was going to run away!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Mary tidied up her hands and looked behind Anne in surprise.She quickly stood up and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Holmes, you should have informed me of your arrival earlier. You see, the meal for lunch today is almost ready. You have always disliked today's beef stew." of."

Holmes was quite normal, he stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed Annie who was still in a daze.

"It's all right." Holmes said to Mary. "I haven't seen Anne for several days. I can eat anything at this time."

After speaking, without giving Annie any time to react, he dragged her to the side room.

"Xia, Sherlock?" Annie was in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

Holmes looked at her with burning eyes and said, "If I don't come again, I'm afraid I'll be haunted by Mrs. Hudson and the others to death!"

Annie raised her head and looked at him with some resentment in his arms: "Mrs. Hudson?"

Holmes's heart tightened instantly, and an inexplicable bliss came to his heart: "I mainly miss you..."

Annie gave a soft "um" and lowered her head pretending to be nonchalant.However, a ray of red on the tip of her ear undoubtedly revealed her thoughts.

"You really, really want a child?" asked Holmes.

Annie paused, she actually couldn't explain herself clearly.He just raised his head, looked at the series of familiar greetings above Holmes' head, and gently rubbed his messy hair.

"A little bit." She was a little dazed, "I just feel that this time is actually quite short. In the blink of an eye, it's over."

Holmes did not expect that she would have such an idea.

He smiled, pressed a kiss on Annie's forehead lightly, and said, "Have you been unable to let go of the matter of that island?"

Annie froze for a moment, then looked up a little foolishly: "Island?"

She turned her head away, not wanting to say anything more.However, his eyes wandered over Holmes' head.

Holmes naturally didn't miss her gaze, let alone gave Anne a chance to dodge it.He grabbed Annie's hand and placed it on top of his head: "Tell me, what is it that you have been able to see all this time?"

Once, Holmes thought, if he didn't say anything, she wouldn't either.After all, not everyone can easily accept such a terrible truth.

"Sherlock... What exactly did you get on the island?" Annie was silent for a long time, before raising her head as if she had finally gained courage, and asked.

Holmes just reached out and touched her face lightly: "No matter what it is, to me, it is just a dream."

Annie was a little taken aback.

Holmes hugged her gently, and groped her chin on the top of her head, showing his intimacy: "My child, just go with the situation. If you come, we will raise it. If not, the two of us are just right. You can come to China occasionally It's good to see him in a hurry when he was born here."

Annie pursed her lips, and just let out a soft "hmm" with a crying sound.

How could she have met such a good person.

How nice it would be to meet him after that shipwreck if he was young.Obviously, all his original files were under Holmes' hands.

but……

Annie smiled and closed her eyes in his arms.

That's it, and that's fine.

Fate doesn't come sooner or later, it's just that everything is just right, just when you are young.

That island is like a dream.

Whether it's Anne, Sherlock Holmes, or the famous Moriarty.Everyone kept secret about that place.

Today, there is no longer a crazy family who is conscientious and demanding.I am afraid that the story of that island will only be called a legend in the future.

It seems real and unreal.

Whether this world is good or not, is it true, and what is there to explore?

After all, there are people you love here, people who love you.Will suffice.

Annie looked at the string of question marks above Holmes' head, and for the first time felt peaceful in her heart.Even, I still feel that the string of question marks is indescribably cute.

"I love you." Annie said silently.

Holmes seemed to sense it, and smiled slightly.In his hands, he tightened the girl in his arms.

I love you too.

The author has something to say: For a detective like Sherlock Holmes, he knew the most essential secrets of the world the moment he landed on the island.

That is - what is real.

But, like Moriarty, he also chose to blind his eyes, willing to be safe from now on.

I think, as a detective, I sacrificed the truth for Annie.It should be the most passionate love for him!

As for Annie, she watched other people's time passing by all the time, and every second was the passing of life.But she is willing to let go of the urgency that oppresses her all the time with Holmes' company, and she is willing to be ordinary from now on, blinded by a leaf, and never see Mount Tai again.

The detective story will naturally continue, but for Sherlock Holmes and Anne, they have reached the sweetest place in their relationship.

That is, heart to heart.There are no more secrets.

Pudding thinks, it should be here, which is very good.
