At a critical juncture, Mycroft adjusted his body's center of gravity.His only advantage was that the guy who opened the door was as surprised as he was, and he didn't expect that the people in the room were going out.But it was obvious that the opponent was well-trained, and in terms of reaction time, he was faster than Mycroft.

Without any communication, Mycroft met a pair of black eyes, and the other's high nose bridge and sharp cheekbones left a deep impression on him, but this didn't change anything, Mycroft felt that his waist The room was blocked with something cold.

He was wearing a thick suit, and he shouldn't have felt the warmth or cold, but at this moment, it was extremely cold.

Neither side hesitated, and the person who opened the door simply pulled the trigger.One hit hit, and the murder weapon that had been silenced did not make much sound.Mr. Holmes fell to the ground.The blood slowly smeared from his body to the floor, slowly smearing an irregular pattern.

The person who opened the door closed the door smoothly, as if he just walked into the wrong room. He was extremely confident in his method, and the action was planned by Zhou Xiang. He knew that he should evacuate the Diogenes Club as soon as possible at this time.

Mycroft, who was lying on the floor, moved after the door was closed. The opponent was not killed by one blow, but his condition was not very good.The Holmes brothers are very familiar with the structure of the human body. Mycroft can accurately explain the type of weapon used by the other party at this time, but this does not help him change his bad situation!

Half an hour ago, it was he himself who called to ask the security system not to act on his door.This means that by the time the security found him, he should have lost too much blood and died.

If something urgent happened at this time, Cynthia knocked on the door and came in... Mycroft deleted this possibility.Today is Sunday, and the chances of something major happening are slim to none.

The only possibility of being rescued is himself. Even if he doesn't have much hope, lying in place and waiting to die is definitely not Holmes' choice.

Mycroft stretched out his hand to press the wound on his abdomen. This position had greatly damaged his ability to move. The weapon used by the opponent had a large caliber, and a close-range shot directly opened a huge hole in his abdomen.

He struggled to crawl to where the phone was placed.At the last moment when life is about to disappear, even the powerful British government seems to be able to move forward slowly in a humble way.

3 minutes.Mycroft was lucky enough to hook up a telephone line, and he hooked a landline down from the height along the line.The wounds caused by bullets and bullets cannot be covered with hands. Mycroft's hands were covered with his own blood. His fingers pressed a series of numbers on the phone, and his consciousness was gradually moving away from him—— He only has one chance to call for help!

If no one answered the phone after three rings, they might have to find their dead bodies in the office.

Mycroft's hand holding the receiver slowly dropped, and the worst happened. No one answered the phone for a long time.In the extremely quiet room, only the busy tone of 'beep' remained, and at the end of all this, even his hand holding the phone fell to the ground...

After Sherlock left the Diogenes Club, he strode towards the nearest bus stop.It is not easy to hail a taxi at the entrance of the Diogenes Club, but Sherlock's choice of transportation is not limited to taxis. The most time-saving transportation is the bus. Walking is also a way to relieve anger and adjust thoughts. good method.

During this period, the mobile phone in Sherlock's pocket rang three times, and he ignored the call.

— Mycroft's phone call.He always has some things to re-order things over the phone after chatting in person.It's like a means of his inherent domination, it's been like that since childhood, but Sherlock isn't in the mood to plug in.

Sherlock walked to the bus stop without hesitation, and the bus slowly entered the station at exactly the same time as he had calculated.

Sherlock is deciding to look for Watson in another way. He needs to use his own wandering news network, but the person hiding in the dark must be familiar enough with his intelligence method.

But there was one more thing they didn't know, Sherlock decided to ask Joanna about it.She was able to convince Irene Adler to work for her.Maybe there are some useful clues from her.It was much easier to communicate with Joanna than with Mycroft.

Sherlock knew Joanna's address after she moved, and this was just a trivial matter. Sherlock saw it from the document in the driver's hand of Joanna's moving company.

Joanna must be at home at this time. The last time we met, she appeared and left for no reason. What she expressed in her words was nothing more than a hint that she hoped to stop doing it—to be a good girl, there is nothing better than being at home. determined.

Sherlock puts the coin into the coin box on the bus.If Watson were here, he would solve all the problems.But when Watson was kidnapped, Sherlock had to handle all the details by himself when planning a trip.

There were still a lot of vacant seats in the bus, Sherlock didn't find one to sit down, he leaned on the railing and looked out the window, thinking about the clues that were turned over and over in the memory palace.

The bus had just passed two stops when the phone in Sherlock's pocket rang again.This time he took out his mobile phone and took a look - it was an incoming call from an unfamiliar number, this was not Mycroft's trick, the fat man didn't even make an extra call this time!Sherlock suppressed his dissatisfaction and connected the phone.

The only sound coming from the mobile phone is the sound of some fabric rubbing against each other. If it was at the scene, Sherlock should be able to guess the type of fabric, but after passing through the mobile phone, the sound is a bit distorted. There are no more details. means, and cautiously prevent Sherlock from discovering the clues.

Sherlock didn't speak, he tried to catch every nuance of the phone.After about 3 minutes, a male voice with a voice changer said, "I'll give it back to you."

Sherlock wanted to ask a question, but the other party hung up.

Give you back... What will you give back?Sherlock frowned and thought about it. He vaguely had a very deep expectation in his heart. What the other party said was - return Watson to you.

But that doesn't make sense.

Sherlock walked to the rear door and tapped the bus emergency stop button.

Mycroft in the room gradually lost consciousness.He rarely encountered such a life-threatening level, but he was not very surprised that this kind of thing happened.

When he was about to go, he heard someone open the door, and from the sound of footsteps, it was an anxious woman who came in.Mycroft saw a pair of brogues walking towards him, and his hand covering the wound was pulled away, and something made of gauze covered his wound.

The intense pain was accompanied by the intense joy of praying to God, which was a sign of being rescued, and Mycroft's nerves relaxed slightly.With the loss of blood, his rational thinking was drifting away from him, and there was nothing that could help him to research more information about this woman.Darkness and coldness surrounded him.

Joanna, who hurried to find the Diogenes Club, was livid. Like Sherlock, she was known by the security personnel, and she was trying to stop the "family members of the club members" who were only slightly interested.

The most embarrassing thing in life is that after struggling for a long time, he finally hailed himself a taxi, asked someone about Mycroft's current location, and rushed all the way to the gate of the Diogenes club.

But after making a decision, Joanna rushed in calmly.

To hell with that piece of paper analyzing pros and cons!Do you need so many reasons to save a person?As for which unlucky people died after saving Mycroft, this should also be blamed on Mycroft. She didn't have time to think about those details.

Joanna found an emergency medicine kit in the room.A box of this size should be enough to temporarily deal with the so-called 'excessive blood loss' situation.

When Joanna took the taxi, she was mistaken for going to school to participate in some medical activities because of the box.

With this gadget, they easily passed Diogenes' security.Almost as soon as Joanna came in, her heart sank slightly.

Today was Sunday, Mycroft wasn't supposed to be here, and the security forces here were not as comprehensive as usual.

Joanna easily located Mycroft's trail after inquiring insiders, and it's not too difficult for others to do so.And the security personnel here are not in the state at all today... These people, whether they know it or not, are creating conditions for the assassination.

Before entering the club, she used sign language to ask the front desk. The old man who was over half a century old couldn't read his face. Joanna was obviously very anxious, but she still had to watch him slowly gesture for Sherlock's name.

Well, she really came to the right place!

Mycroft was assassinated after Sherlock left, which was enough to destroy both Holmes.Mr. Moriarty, who committed suicide, should really take a good look. Someone is more talented than him. This plan is much more subtle than his damn Reichenbach jumping incident.

Joanna opened Mycroft's room, the door was unlocked, and when she opened the door, she could see where Mycroft was lying by the wall.The bloodstain on the carpet clearly pointed out the trajectory of the movement. Mycroft's initial fall was by the door, and the bloodstain struggled forward from the door to where he was now, about three to four meters away.His will to survive is quite amazing.

This showed that Mycroft avoided the most critical wound, and he struggled to make a phone call.Joanna combined the numbers with bloody fingerprints on the phone - Mycroft made an intercom call, which was the number with the fewest number of buttons, but judging from the current situation, it didn't work at all.

Various chaotic thoughts flashed through Joanna's mind, but she opened the first-aid kit without any hesitation. ——Gauze and bandages are stuffed into the wound. They cannot stop the bleeding immediately, but at least slow down the blood flow. Bullets are the work of doctors.When Joanna walked to Mycroft's side, his consciousness had not completely disappeared.Joanna didn't try to call his name, she frowned and called the emergency number.

When Joanna was about to stand up from Mycroft's side, she found that the corner of her clothes was tightly held by him.

Joanna froze for a moment, she was sure that Mycroft's countdown was temporarily suspended at a very small number, but she probed Mycroft's carotid artery, his heartbeat was already very weak, the life force Loss can also be confirmed from his pale face.

Perhaps this is why Joanna finally decided to rush out of the house-she didn't want to see a soul so similar to him, leave this world.

That's it.
