Of course, the possibility of him deceiving himself is not ruled out, but judging from his current performance, this possibility is unlikely.

According to the normal situation, his brother should have accumulated his anger towards him to the breaking point a week ago, but it took him so long to come to Baker Street, obviously something held him back out of his footsteps.

Considering the current domestic situation, it is very likely that the death of the congress minister who stood on the opposite side caused this situation.

Although the opponent's death is a good thing in the long run, this rock-like die-hard Mr. has no possibility or value for strategy, and having him in that position will cause a lot of trouble, and now he is dead Even if this position will be filled by someone else later, the time difference in between is enough for Mycroft to do something to increase his advantage.But in the short term, this sudden death is likely to cause bad consequences for him. This is probably why he is eager to find out the reason behind the death of the other party. Killing the enemy also needs a way Yes, sudden death is not a good idea, it will leave a bad and overly threatening impression on many people.

In addition... Sherlock showed a malicious smile, his dear brother must have had a bad day today.

"I'm so happy to see that you don't have to be summoned by the dentist again because of your teeth. Should I thank the lady who snatched away your beloved dessert?" Sherlock, who was squatting on the sofa enjoying nicotine, suddenly said.

Straight to the center!

Mycroft felt two heavy blows to his chest today, one came from Sophia who was still chatting with Mrs. Hudson downstairs, and the other came from his careless and broken brother!

Why can't you be a good little brother quietly!Mycroft gritted his teeth looking at Sherlock, whose irritable nerves were soothed by the nicotine patch. He couldn't understand why his younger brother was so cute and cute, but his younger brother had a bad personality and had such a long period of rebellion?

This made Mycroft, who had been battered by all kinds of messy things recently, even more troubled.The only consolation is that he doesn't have to figure out the truth behind the death of the Minister of Congress by himself, which makes him not so distressed at all.

"What you need to consider now is not my dental problem, but digging out what your neighbor's lady has to do with this matter. After this case is settled, I will evacuate my staff from Baker Street, and you don't have to worry about being on the street in the future." Met acquaintances." Compared with the sarcasm of the broken brother, Mycroft's tolerance is much higher.

After all, he is also the eldest son in the family. He has encountered too many bad things since he was a child, and he has long been used to Sherlock's cynicism.

As for how the other party could tell that he had just been robbed of sweets, or was it a lady?Isn't this a very simple thing?

Mycroft didn't want to have to analyze his behavior patterns with his brother, and he didn't want to use perfume to get rid of his smell, and he didn't want to run a few blocks to buy his favorite cake because of such boring things— —By the time he could eat, it was already evening, and the possibility of toothache and the risk of weight gain quickly dismissed the idea.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you that this lady's surname is Esther. You have to be careful when targeting her, and you can use your little tricks when necessary." Mycroft calmly reminded Xia Locke.

Although they always quarreled with their younger brother, they never held each other back on important matters.

Including how many times he cleared the tail for Sherlock, avoiding some troubles caused by his rough methods in solving cases, and also including how many times Sherlock solved a series of things for him when it was inconvenient for him to act .Maybe the two people are facing each other in life, but they have always stood on the same front when it comes to safeguarding family honor.

"Esther? Which Esther?" Sherlock frowned.

Is there anything wrong with the last name Esther?

"The most famous Esther." Mycroft exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and snuffed out the butt of the cigarette in the ashtray.

After smoking a cigarette, I feel much better, and even my teeth don't feel throbbing anymore.

"That Esther?" Sherlock's brows furrowed even tighter.

Although the surname Esther is not so common, it is not uncommon.But the most famous Este, and there is only one Este in Italy, the nobleman who once ruled Ferrara and Modena.

If you say that, you may not understand what is different about this family. After all, Italy has been divided for too long, and there are too many small lords in the hundreds of years of history. Medici and Sforza This kind of powerful family can still give people a little impression, but a family like the Este family that has not produced any famous legendary figures really will not leave too many traces in history.

However, this family once married a woman from a legendary family during the Renaissance, Lucrecia Borgia from the notorious poison family.

"That Esther." Mycroft nodded.

He was glad that his younger brother didn't throw all his historical knowledge into the trash can, at least he still knew about the family.

"But I remember that this family became extinct in the nineteenth century, and Ercole III was the last male heir of their family." Sherlock raised his eyebrows.

According to his incomplete historical data, this family has long had no male descendants, right?So where did this Este family come from?

"Dear Xiali, you have forgotten that there are women in the world besides men. No one stipulates that women in the Este family must change their husband's surname after they get married." Mycroft smiled, "Don't worry about this family's family name. How about history, at least according to my research, the Este family in Sicily is indeed their descendants."

No one knows what kind of dowry Lucrezia Borgia brought when she married into the Principality of Ferrara. No one knows whether there is a Cantrella who poisoned many cardinals. Whether her descendants have inherited this legendary legacy, but it is a fact that many of the enemies of the Este family died of sudden cardiac death and chronic heart failure.And this kind of thing happened to the lady just after entering the camera, it is hard to believe that this is just a coincidence.

As for the truth of the matter, isn't this what Sherlock should investigate?

Mycroft leaned against the window and smiled as he watched Sophia walking out of 221b.

Unexpectedly, she was caught by Miss Esther who suddenly turned her head, and she froze for a moment.

A smile suddenly appeared on the lady's incomparably beautiful face, her eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth curved into a strange arc, making this beautiful face instantly terrified.

At the same time, an extremely oppressive force seemed to be transmitted to him through the air, making him tremble uncontrollably, and his hair stood on end.

"!" Mycroft couldn't help taking a step back.

When I looked out of the window again, that elegant figure had disappeared, and the oppressive feeling that was very heavy just now also disappeared.

Mr. Holmes pinched his fingers and felt a dampness.He silently took out his handkerchief and wiped off the cold sweat from his head and hands.

Mycroft was very sure that at that moment just now he felt full of malice from the other party, full of substance and not just judged from the eyes.

Moreover, the feeling that his heart was almost seized was not his hallucination, it actually happened to him, which made him have a new judgment on this lady.

"That's the end of this matter, don't get involved any more." Without much thought, Mycroft turned around and said to Sherlock.

Unlike the situation in the bakery, Sofia Este was only slightly unfriendly to him at that time, which was acceptable given the other party's obsession with sweets.But the way the other party looked at him just now was not just unfriendly. Mycroft had a feeling that the other party wanted to kill him. The elder Mr. Holmes still noticed the past experience.

Considering the other party's identity and the pile of fake and terrifying information, Mycroft felt that he needed a safer solution.He has no doubt that this lady has the ability to kill him in an instant, and that terrifying feeling makes his heart beat wildly. Under such unknown circumstances, he doesn't want his brother to come to her as a pawn for her. punching bag.

Despite always fighting with Sherlock, losing a brother wasn't on his bucket list.

"What?" Sherlock, who had reluctantly accepted the task, frowned again.

It was just agreed that he would remove the people who monitored him after he solved this matter, and now he is not allowed to do these things, what about those people?

Also, Mycroft, is this menopause?Emotions change so quickly, and the decision made in the last second will be overturned in the next second. Is it too exaggerated?

The young Mr. Holmes thought about it, and crossed out the option of menopause.Although his brother is fat and has dental caries, he is only in his early thirties, and there is still a long way to go before menopause, and it is impossible for him to break out in this period of time.

So, what just happened to make him change his mind?

Sherlock's gray eyes darkened even more, and the incident really piqued his interest.

The author has something to say:

Brother Mai is sharp, and our brother Fei is also very sharp, and what Brother Mai is most proud of is his brain, but what Brother Fei is most proud of is his force value. No amount of intelligence is useless in front of absolute strength. Because Brother Fei is not a reasonable person at all, so he is a tragedy←_←

In addition, does the content of this chapter feel familiar? This is how Yiermi and Hisoka treated Qiya and Xiaojie back then. It is really shameless to attack an ordinary person with thoughts ╮( ̄▽ ̄") ╭

Finally, I saw a piece of news today that Robert Pattinson is going to play Batman...
