[Comprehensive] Baker Street Survival Guide

In his apartment in Kensington, Mr. Hilde, who was alone at home, was finally able to enjoy a night without worry.Don't worry about where Joanna is fooling around now. Hilde believes that the people around Joanna can protect her safety. Compared with the dangers she encountered before, Joanna's social interaction is equally important.

The music collected by Mr. Hilde is played in the apartment, and the old-fashioned film has a special atmosphere. Open a bottle of red wine, sit in the study and read a book, and there is a smiling photo of the deceased wife on the desk.On a rare and comfortable day, Mr. Hilde nodded in satisfaction.

Then, someone rang his doorbell.

—A young man whom Mr. Hilde knew, but they were not very familiar with each other.

"Good evening, very intrusive to interrupt. My father has a document for me to bring. May I come in and talk?"

After thinking for less than half a minute, Hilde matched the young man's father with his name. "Evan Burton, the young man who was late in the memory of the appointment with the Prime Minister. It feels unreliable and occasionally makes some troubles, but the advantage is that he is young enough and has a father who is in his prime .”

"Come in." Mr. Hilder turned sideways, and the music in the room poured out, filling the cold street outside.

But the security guards outside still stood silently, silent like a sculpture, but once someone was in danger, they would receive the most powerful counterattack.

The door closed, and Burton sighed with lingering fear: "Did something happen recently... This level of security is really too strict!" Evan was aggrieved by metal scanning and some unconventional tools. Accepting this disguised body search, he felt as if he had been stuffed into the subway and scanned his whole body with a scanning tape.

"Some things have indeed happened recently." Mr. Hilde replied simply.He was going to turn off the music.Before that, he took the documents from Burton, which involved some private transactions, which was also a common thing for Mr. Hilde.

"You don't need to turn off the music... I like this piece too." Burton stopped Mr. Hilde.His ignorant expression gave away the fact that he didn't like this kind of music, but Mr. Hilde's approval was very useful.

If Joanna's development at the banquet is not good enough, this Mr. Burton is also a good candidate!Although his father is still in his prime, he has gradually transferred the related properties to his name recently. As long as the young people receive some training, they will easily stay and succeed.

The most important thing is... Burton has a good reputation. Even if Mr. Hilde is as well-informed as he is, he hasn't heard any gossip about the heir.

——It's a spare tire after all, why bother to refuse it directly.

Just when he was thinking this way, Burton mentioned Joanna. He was a little hesitant when he spoke, but after a few words, he became smoother: "I...I want to ask if Miss Joanna is here Here...well...although it's late...I just heard that she hasn't been at work lately..."

Burton's eyes didn't wander around. Except for some hesitation at the beginning, he looked at Mr. Hilde very sincerely the rest of the time.

In particular, he also asked about Joanna's work life. For this reason alone, Mr. Hilde will give him a little point.

"It's a pity that Joanna is not here. She has a class reunion, and she should be having fun with her old classmates now!"

Mr. Hilde's explanation made Burton instantly show a disappointed expression.

"Is Miss Joanna really dating Mr. Mycroft Holmes? If it's someone like Mr. Holmes, I don't think I need to think about it anymore. I shouldn't have asked... "..." Burton's expression was gloomy, as if by this time, he no longer needed to hide his true thoughts.

Mr. Hilde was so angry with Burton that he interrupted Burton loudly: "Please don't spread such false news! Joanna has always been single." Mr. Hilde realized that sitting across from him The old Burton was startled by his high volume, lamenting that the young people nowadays really have no guts, then slowed down his tone, and said persuasively: "Joanna is my weakness, some people use Joanna to slander me... this It is also a disservice to my daughter, and I hope you will not hold back for this reason."

The essence of saying this is to keep a possibility for Joanna. After all, there are people like Burton who pursue him. Naturally, there are still some flaws.

One more possibility, the final decision is still Joanna, isn't it?

The two people sitting in the room had some false fantasies about each other, and the so-called flirting was their cover-up behavior.

Fortunately, their purpose is the same. In the middle of the conversation, they somehow talked about photos. Mr. Hilder took out a photo album from the study room——some photos of Joanna from childhood to adulthood were on it. It's a meaningful collection, and Mr. Heard and Burton shared some of the details.

"This one was left by Joanna when she graduated from elementary school. At that time, Joanna had a few friends around her..." Mr. Hilde handed the photo album to Burton, and Burton took a closer look. , there are some subtle brush marks on the photo, and a girl standing next to Joanna can be vaguely seen circled... Then those colored gestures were wiped off, leaving only a shallow mark.

"Ah! Joanna was so cute when she was a child. I didn't go to the same private school as her... What's the name of this little girl? Does she still keep in touch with Joanna?" Parents who show photos always make people feel weird Difficult to deal with, Burton tried hard to think of some plans to perfuse Mr. Hilder. Fortunately, all his flattery about praising Joanna made Mr. Hilder very satisfied.

"This one seems to be called Anna... or is it Lorna?"

Mr. Hilde tried to recall the name.But these things have not been mentioned in the Hilde family for many years.Mr. Hield decided to forego accurate recall.

He heard Nian Tingren stood up apologetically and said to him, "Sorry, I need to answer the phone..."

Joanna, who was still struggling in the class reunion, refused the fourth person who came to greet her. She began to hesitate whether she had set the requirements too high——if the other party couldn’t call her name, she refused to continue communicating with them Is this behavior correct?

Joanna looked at the people around. Harry had already chatted with several girls. Although some people thought Joanna's male partner was too old at first, after the communication, no matter whether it was a gentleman's appearance or The inside of a gentleman is high enough to explain the truth that age is not a problem.

Joanna looked around and silently found that her request was really too high!

Although it was a class reunion, it was essentially an ordinary socializing and showing off, understanding what each other needs and the current situation, strengthening the social network and so on... It was no different from the party she hated the most.The most boring thing is that she has almost no desire to participate enthusiastically.

Joanna sighed, she randomly observed various individuals at the event without a goal, from waiters to her so-called classmates, everyone's life still had a countdown to a longer or shorter life.The guys who are full of ambition and surrounded by a group of people may not know that they have cancer. There are a few people who are not too conspicuous, but they have a long time to squander.

It made Joanna think about her childhood as a child, when she had only a few friends who could talk, and those numbers were with her, and some people were doomed to die, so why communicate more?

It was not until very later that Joanna understood the truth that all people are going to die in the end, and the most important thing is the experiences they have had with each other.But at that time, the past had already happened, and Joanna really didn't meet a few close friends.These things cannot be forced.

The data of one person in the crowd occupied Joanna's full attention.

——The countdown to the finish line gleamed above Rona's head, who was about to leave.The time of death was 5 minutes later, a death method that Joanna was very familiar with-excessive blood loss.

While she was paying close attention to Lorna's movements, such as who was around her and whether there were people who matched Mycroft's profile, Joanna quickly found Harry who had just made a martini, "I miss you The idle time is over. I need your help..."

Joanna pulled Harry out without knowing why.He didn't get any feedback about anything out of the ordinary.But Joanna's solemn expression was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

"What's the matter? What did you find?" This really surprised Harry.He was sure that Joanna's gown didn't have a pocket for a communication device, what made her suddenly nervous?Is it one of her eyeliners in the infield?Any long-distance gesture, or a pre-agreed password, this is Harry's preferred answer.

"That Lorna just now! I need you to protect her. If I'm not mistaken, she's already being targeted!" Joanna whispered in Harry's ear.

At this time, there is almost no need to think about how this distance hurts Mycroft and Eggsy who are watching the screen. "Are you okay with yourself?"

"Obviously, the murderer's target is Lorna." Joanna was sure that there was no existence here that could kill her.That's the only reason she's so confident.

"Can you take care of yourself?!" Harry finally confirmed. He contacted Merlin to give a more detailed map of the venue while making the final confirmation.

"Of course I have no problem!" Joanna nodded, and Lorna was about to leave their sight, which also meant that the 5-minute countdown had passed halfway!

After getting the feedback, Harry quickly walked to the corridor.He's quick and has a knack for how to cut his way through crowds.Joanna watched him leave, and she no longer had any leisure time to eat.

She wasn't worried about whether Harry would be able to rescue Rona, but don't forget that Rona's survival meant that some people in the venue would die.

Joanna looked at the surrounding environment. It was luxurious and lively, with gorgeous clothes and beauties. For most people here, this is the life they experience every day.But soon, some... accidents will happen here.

At the same time Harry was chasing after Lorna, Mycroft frowned.He pondered for less than three seconds, and immediately said to Eggsy: "Tell Harry to come back quickly! That agent and Joanna are being targeted!" There is no doubt that Joanna is the one Harry needs to protect first. .

"But Joanna said she was protected...she would never joke about her own life!" The conversation had already reached Merlin at the same time, and Eggsy had time to ask Mycroft.

——It is really possible for Joanna to do such a thing!Unlike Harry and Eggsy's excessive trust in Joanna, Mycroft, observing from a third-party perspective, can be sure that Joanna just stared at the void for a while before asserting that Lorna was in danger.Nobody even gestured to her!

If it is said that there is no logic to explore the danger of Lorna.In contrast, the man slowly approaching behind Joanna obviously has malicious intentions!

Mycroft could of course assume that Joanna had made all kinds of preparations, but that was just an assumption.He couldn't accept what might happen outside of one percent assumptions.

Almost at the same time as he was explaining to Eggsy, the lights in the main venue dimmed, and the room was full of exclamations. Among the four screens, only the line of Harry following Lorna was still on.

Mycroft's heart sank to the bottom...
