[Comprehensive] Baker Street Survival Guide

The bathroom space is much larger than ordinary banquet venues.Fully automatic cleaning equipment, bright mirrors, and colorful glazed collage tiles.There are many lilies planted on the sink. Such various details make this place that is easily overlooked clean and bright.

Hannibal checked every single compartment, he made sure there were no snoops, no more dead security guards or anything like that.

He had just finished checking all this when Sherlock pushed the door open, his eyes fell on the mirror, and Hannibal was also looking in the mirror.Through this reflective carrier, they can more accurately assess each other's appearance and the marks they left on each other.

"Can I say that you surprised me?" Sherlock said first, the scar on his face was still aching, but at the same time he had already recognized the identity of the person in front of him, the name 'Hannibal' represented It's not easy and fun.

Joanna actually invited this kind of person to her wedding scene?They are friends?This is a bit out of touch with reality!

"I think I was somewhat miscalculated." Hannibal nodded slightly, and he showed full demeanor.

"Someone has already got there first. Although I don't pay much attention to the result of this matter. But if the wedding is still messed up with my help, it may not be so pleasant." Sherlock squinted his eyes, tentatively Said.

"I'm glad we have reached a consensus, Mr. Holmes. But the matter is not as simple as it says. I'm afraid our Miss Joanna has her own little plans." Hannibal said lightly, "Do you have any clues? ?”

Needless to say, Sherlock had already taken out a marker pen from his pocket - it was picked up when he registered in the guest book at the entrance.

Just look around casually, and it's not hard to see that the most readily available medium for writing in the bathroom is the big mirror.Sherlock leaned forward slightly, drawing some details on the mirror.Since he locked the men's restroom on this floor, men who really need to use the restroom may have to observe a moment of silence and find another place.

——Thanks to his good sketching skills, Sherlock quickly left a precise road map of the venue on the mirror.The blacked out areas are highlighted, which are the camera's blind spots.

"I'm more inclined to find out Joanna's plan than to watch you draw a picture here. By the way, as the younger brother of another Mr. Holmes, maybe you have some understanding of the plan between the couple?"

Sherlock snorted coldly.He finished his drawing, took a few steps back, and admired the finished product.He didn't forget to taunt Joanna and Mycroft: "That fat man? I thought he had no strategy to speak of now! He was just waiting for his fiancée to die... You're right, these loopholes are all Joanna did it on purpose."

"Here." Hannibal pointed out a point on Sherlock's map: "The power supply room. This is the only place that hasn't been checked, and the problem is likely to appear here."

"We can't even confirm whether the murderer is hiding in the security guards, or he is doing other occupations and is one of the guests." Thinking of the missing security guards, some things are not so sure.Sherlock's heart was somewhat heavy.He also clicked on the blacked-out area, and said, "I'll go to the power supply room to have a look."

"There is a backup generator on the third floor, I think I can check that." Hannibal took what Sherlock wanted to say properly.

The two memory palaces come together unexpectedly in this new situation.

But the reason why the two men are in a bad mood is that they are not sure whether this kind of co-production can also be arranged by Joanna.

At the moment, they didn't stay in the bathroom, they walked out of the bathroom one after another, and walked in different directions.

- After the 'snap'.The lights in the main venue dimmed instantly.Although it was daytime at this time, only natural light was left suddenly, which also caused a commotion among the guests.

In the next two seconds, the remaining circuits were also powered off one by one.

Sherlock had no intention of recommunicating and deploying with Hannibal, and a heavy shadow shrouded his heart.The power outage had minimal impact on the main venue, where natural light could seep in, and unfortunately some of the windowless rooms upstairs.If the darkness is allowed to stay for a long time, the murderer hiding in the wedding venue of thousands of people will have the opportunity to change his identity, assemble his weapons, and enter the next step of the plan.

And if there is anything that will affect Joanna's life, it must be the first step.

The sudden stop of the background music and light and shadow effects in the venue surprised the guests.

Mr. Hilde, for example, sitting at the head table, if Tom hadn't been around him to reassure him frequently, he might have stood up, went to his daughter and son-in-law, and asked how such an unseemly accident happened. up.

"They designed a backup power supply. They also arranged candles and special desserts for power failures." Tom whispered beside Mr. Hilde. "This is just one of the 50 possible accidents, and there are corresponding countermeasures. There will be no problem, please rest assured, Mr. Hilde."

The proper solution left Hilde no position to blame the new couple.But it also made him ignore the fact that what kind of wedding needs more than 50 crisis plans?That's usually designed for high-risk situations!

Someone's life is in danger, but this person is also the calmest person in the room.

Joanna dragged a thick dress to the stage. The rechargeable microphone is a small accessory mentioned in her many plans. If necessary, Joanna can also make her voice sound on the venue broadcast.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Joanna's countdown to the last hour also started from the moment she stood on the stage.

She could clearly feel this without even raising her head.

One full hour.

——'tick tick tick...'

"Please take it easy, everyone. Unfortunately there were some issues with the power supply. Mike and I didn't have a theme for our wedding, but now... I'd like to treat you all to a candlelight wedding." Almost as Joanna spoke At the same time, well-trained waiters delivered special candles that were lighted one by one.The faint candlelight combined with the natural light coming in from the outside, the special candles would not give off any disastrous smell, and the scene was gradually brought under control.

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my wedding speech in advance... some of my views on this wedding... and some expectations for the future."

Those in the know could hear Joanna's faint vibrato when she said 'future'.They don't know why she is so convinced of her own death, but it can be seen that this conclusion of Joanna is connected with her whole personality, all her self-confidence, and this is an inseparable part.

"It's not the most prudent way to get married after half a year of acquaintance. This is something to think about from the perspective of time and routine. But in my personal opinion, just like the video you just saw, we have a lot in common The point—we all grew up in London, and made different choices at a certain moment in our lives...the same space, the same period of time, and finally we got to know each other.”

Joanna paused for a moment, she turned and looked at Mycroft standing by the stage, and continued: "It was hard for me to imagine that today would come. But when this day really comes, I really want to Thank you to the man who accompanied me in making this decision. It made me decide to become Mrs. Holmes."

There was some applause one after another from the audience.

Five and six minutes.

Joanna showed a smile, and she continued: "Standing on the stage, with so many candles below, it really reminds me of Hogwarts. I am Dumbledore, and you are my students..."

Most of the elderly attendees were unimpressed by the joke, and some of the overly stuffy ones frowned slightly, finding it inappropriate.But at the tables near the door, the people in Italian haute couture suits invited by Joanna whistled.They backed the joke, which wasn't too funny in the first place.It caused some to look back.

Joanna knew who the applause was at that table.Those secret agent friends, those London underground forces, order and disorder were put on the same table.

For these people, they will be able to get the message Joanna wants to reveal from this speech. ——She is still the same Joanna, the decision comes from herself, and she has not been coerced by anyone.

Harry and Eggsy sat among the booers.Also present was Merlin—he and Joanna hadn't met face-to-face, but the supernatural "Mourning Bird" still left an invitation letter in the physical mailbox of his residence.

Based on this, Teacher Merlin also came to the wedding.

"The Hogwarts metaphor is somewhat inauspicious. It's hard for me to imagine Joanna using this kind of rhetoric at all." Merlin drank his red wine, stared at Harry and Eggsy in surprise, "You actually watched "Haha?" "Libertot"' eyes, slowly analyzed and said: "Dumbledore's final ending is not very good, and it is far-fetched to say that he gave his life for the wizarding world."

"This doesn't mean that the mourning bird will be so sacrificing!" Eggsy was not too convinced.

"But you don't want to deny that...in the venue arranged by Mr. Holmes and Ms. Hilde, there will be such a careless situation as power failure." What's more, the power has not been restored until now.

When Joanna spoke, it seemed like she was saying her last words.

Eggsy watched Harry stand up from the table, swallowed the red wine in disbelief, and asked, "You mean, Joanna invited us to the wedding venue, hoping that we can settle these troubles?!"

"No, Eggsy. It's not possible for 'Mourning Bird' to arrange it this way. But you and Harry had better go to the power supply room to have a look. I sent the map of the venue to your mid-end before I went out. "Merlin's voice was a little gloating.As quartermaster, he was always the easiest one.

Eggsy stood up from the chair a little depressed.

Their quartermaster also added a very dishonest sentence: "By the way, didn't you always want to go on missions with Galahad? This is a very good opportunity, I wish you all the best..."

——Sure enough, you shouldn't believe that this is just a normal wedding event!

Eggsy ran a few steps to catch up with Harry.He suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

at the same time.

Joanna said silently in her heart, it's only - 45 minutes.
