"You can show me the report, and I will deal with it. Now... If Mr. Holmes is really in emergency, I don't think this is a good time for me to visit." After a brief shock, Hill Mr. De resumed his businesslike tone.He calculated for a moment what would happen when Mycroft fell, and at this moment he had some hope that nothing serious happened to Holmes.

"I think you should come with me. There are some things that need to be resolved in person." Cynthia frowned slightly.She knew that someone absolutely did not want Mr. Hilder to see Mr. Holmes, but that was her duty.

"I don't think it's necessary..." Mr. Hilde raised his voice slightly, but he didn't want to be seen arguing with Mycroft's female secretary at the gate of the Diogenes Club, He thought for a while and added: "Since Mr. Holmes had seen his brother before the accident, shouldn't you find him first?"

Cynthia was not shaken in the slightest by his hints.She took two steps forward and whispered in Mr. Hilde's ear, "Miss Joanna is by Mr. Holmes' side. I think you need to know."

These words made Hilde's face change.He still wanted to let it go, but he couldn't let Joanna go.

Immediately, with a livid face, he and Cynthia walked towards Diogenes, who had stepped up his guard.

They walked quickly through the corridor. When Mr. Hilde saw no one around, he asked a little depressed: "What do you mean by what you just said? Why is Joanna here? She will not have any direct relationship with Mr. Holmes' assassination." related···"

"Yes." Cynthia nodded, and they had already reached the door of Mycroft's office, which is also where he was assassinated: "Miss Joanna arrived in time to save Mr. Holmes."

As she spoke, she pushed open the door.

——everything in the room was exposed to Mr. Hilde's eyes.

As a member of the document management system, Mr. Hilde has dealt with a lot of bloody... written materials.But things like witnessing the scene of a crime are obviously not within the scope of his work.

The traditionally furnished office in front of him is like a hell on earth at this time, with blood and handprints winding on the ground, but anyone with a little association ability can imagine the struggle of the victim. The bloody phone, and the handset that was not hung up and dropped to the side.

In contrast to the rest of the room, the trays on the wine cabinet were neatly arranged, and the papers on the desk remained untouched.Mr. Hilde immediately grasped the key point: "He was assassinated the moment he opened the door? Then how did Joanna know that he was in danger? He called Joanna, but look at the traces on the phone , the number is not Joanna's mobile phone number!"

Cynthia nodded in her heart.Joanna's father is of course also a smart man. The bloody scene did not change Mr. Hilde's sharp insight into the matter, and he grasped the point almost immediately.Cynthia silently lit a candle for Joanna in her heart.

"We still don't know about this issue... maybe Joanna got some news."

The mystery was left to Mr. Hilde to solve for himself.From this matter alone, Cynthia is still very grateful to Joanna. The feedback from the medical staff showed that if Mr. Holmes was discovered a little later, he would have no way to rescue him.

"Where is Joanna now?"

"plz follow me."

It's actually a room next door.The main reason for the on-site first aid was that the hospital hadn’t done a good job of safety control. At first, no one thought that there would be any problems at the hospital, until Joanna, like Sherlock possessed, listed five security loopholes in one breath. Another point is that Joanna seems to use Mycroft as a temporary wifi. She browses information on the Internet by Mr. Holmes's side, and has no intention of leaving at all.

The room next door has been temporarily converted to look like an emergency room.The stretcher bed, the instruments needed for first aid, and a large amount of blood-stained gauze were placed on the side tray, and the surgeons and nurses wearing masks surrounded the bed. In such pale and uniform attire, Mr. Hilde could easily see Here comes Joanna, still in a dress.

She stood beside the stretcher, fiddling with her mobile phone calmly. The doctor was by her side performing an operation on Holmes to remove the bullet, while her subordinates were sending short messages on the mobile phone.When Mr. Heard opened the door, Joanna was doing the most outrageous thing he had ever seen—she was filming the process of retrieving the bullet, triple-shot!

"Joanna!" cried Mr. Heard.His tone was unprecedentedly harsh, and Joanna's hands trembled when she heard it, and she almost dropped the phone on Mycroft.

She turned her head in a panic, not forgetting to glance at Cynthia.

"Father..." Joanna smiled shyly and waved.The blood stains on her hands from the first aid hadn't been washed off, and Mr. Hilde suddenly became angry when he saw it.

"what are you doing here?"

"Uh... As you can see, I seem to have saved someone..." Joanna groaned secretly.

"I need an explanation!"

"Explain..." Joanna looked around like a child who did something wrong.Cynthia was standing behind Mr. Hilde. She saw Joanna's expression asking for help, but she couldn't help... Joanna is not as calm and composed as she was when she directed the emergency personnel.

"You come back with me... No matter what, you are of no help here! It's okay if nothing happened to Mr. Holmes, otherwise, I think you have to explain why you are at the scene of the crime!" Hill Mr. De was already standing at the crater, and he had no scruples about Cynthia, who was right next to him, and directly told the worst possibility.

He really shouldn't believe that Joanna will stay at home well, or that he shouldn't have come to Diogenes Club today at all!He had laughed at Sherlock before, but when he turned around, Joanna became a big joke!

Joanna stood where she was, clutching her phone tightly.She clearly knew that Mr. Hilde was very angry, but she just shook her head slightly.

"Do you know what you are doing now!"

"I know." Joanna replied softly.She stopped joking with her father with a playful smile. During this short period of time, she temporarily put aside her thoughts of deducing the murderer and turned to thinking about how to prevaricate her father.Fortunately, she thought of a manageable reason: "I've said it many times...you don't believe me...I like Mycroft!"

Joanna was severely disgusted by herself.Seeing the distorted ninja smile on Cynthia's face, she thought pessimistically, if her father was still not satisfied with the answer, she could really only...say she was pregnant with Holmes' child...

"That's not a reason. I have enough time to help you realize that your idea is wrong..."

"Mr. Hilde!" Cynthia finally turned around from watching the show.She coughed dryly and said solemnly: "Miss Joanna is the first witness, we need her to stay and check some details. Of course, this is also what Mr. Holmes ordered before he fell into a coma..."

Mr. Hilde left angrily.Joanna breathed a sigh of relief.

She was very angry at Cynthia's delay in speaking, and made a silent note in her heart.The only reason Joanna was so calm was that Mr. Hilde's countdown remained at the original level.

Cynthia glanced down at the phone, and then told the medical staff: "The ward has been arranged."

Shrapnel had been removed from Mycroft's body.During the period, Holmes' blood pressure rose and fell, but it was as thrilling as riding a roller coaster.Joanna's gag made Cynthia feel a little more relaxed. Subconsciously, she didn't dare to think about the situation after losing Mycroft.

"I'll go with you to the ward."

"The rest of the matter is beyond your control... Miss Joanna, thank you for your help before." Cynthia tried to persuade Joanna to leave.

"You haven't realized the seriousness of the problem..." Joanna put the phone back in her pocket.She looked at Cynthia with a serious face, "I have to stay by Mycroft's side until Sherlock comes over. Have you ever wondered why Mycroft's last call was to the security department instead of Sherlock who just left?"

"The security department will answer the phone, but Sherlock is uncontrollable." Cynthia was still not used to Joanna's face changing.She was a child with flaws in front of Mr. Hilde, but when Mr. Hilde left and she commanded the people around her, she revealed that disguise and became a pure superior.

"But the security department didn't answer the call. First of all, we are sure that he didn't call you because you didn't have time to dispatch remotely. He knew your workload and the time it would take you to deploy people. He knew that you would not be able to arrive in time. Then he You must also know that since he was assassinated, the security department has been an unreliable existence. They may even make up the knife, why does he still..."

Joanna spoke quickly.Cynthia had a headache for a while.This is exactly what Sherlock looks like possessed.

The stretcher had already been pushed to the door of Diogenes, and Cynthia gritted her teeth and made a decision: "Let's get in the car together!"

Anyway, many people have seen Joanna standing beside Mycroft's stretcher.At least Joanna will not endanger Mycroft's safety, and the rest will be judged after Mr. Holmes wakes up.

Cynthia couldn't help but recall how she saw Joanna and Mr. Holmes in the medical team.Mr. Holmes grabbed the hem of Joanna's clothes, and it was not so easy to pull it out after she was unconscious.

After getting into the ambulance, Cynthia received another report: "Watson has returned to Baker Street."

She wasn't too surprised to see Joanna's expression, she obviously knew it earlier.

"Have you arranged for someone to protect my father?" Joanna asked coldly.

"You can rest assured about this. Relevant plans have been launched, and all high-level security has been upgraded." Cynthia had a question: "What are you waiting for?"

"The only reason Mycroft didn't call Sherlock was because he was worried that Sherlock would hang up and die, which would be a shadow for Sherlock's life. Although we say he is a high-functioning sociopath, but this It doesn't mean he won't feel guilty about it. In order not to let this happen, he would rather bet on the danger of being hit..."

Joanna didn't answer directly.She completed the second half of her reasoning, like an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Cynthia shrugged, and said not very convinced: "These are not difficult to guess."

Joanna glanced at her: "Then what do you think Sherlock is thinking now? Watson is back, and Sherlock will soon realize that the opponent's goal is always on Mycroft. Sherlock will understand that Mycroft What does Ford mean...how will Sherlock react?"

There are some things you can't feel guilty about if you don't know them.Joanna shook the dress she was wearing.She preferred the owl print to the robin embroidered dress.It's just that now a ball of blood smudges on the skirt, which looks a bit dazzling.
