[Comprehensive] Baker Street Survival Guide

Joanna and Mycroft glanced at each other.She was afraid of being heard by the people outside the door even when she spoke, so she just looked around nervously at this moment, looking for a place to hide.

On the second floor, during the day, it is almost unnecessary to think about climbing to the outside of the building.

Joanna wandered around the office in a daze, and she opened two hidden wardrobes—there were tie areas divided by small grids, and a set of neatly embedded three-piece suits.

Joanna closed the cabinet angrily, and the idea of ​​the wardrobe was completely lost.

correct!There is also a washroom in the back, a small bathroom attached to the office.Joanna was ready to go inside right away.

Mycroft stopped her, he shook his head, and then whispered in Joanna's ear, "Mr. Hilde must have seen you coming in, he will go to the bathroom to check." Clear···

"Then cancel his appointment!" Joanna was almost blown out by him.She didn't dare to speak loudly, so she also replied with a very small volume.

"This is basically impossible. You know Mr. Hilde's habits. Besides... I've tried to evade it several times before." Mycroft was also very helpless.Joanna was so nervous that she could hardly hear him.

The knocking on the door grew louder.Accompanied by Cynthia's conversation with Mr. Hilde.This is undoubtedly a reminder, and it also means that the female secretary's defense is about to be breached.

Mycroft held Joanna down.He patted Joanna's shoulder lightly, and pointed in one direction of the room.

Joanna bit her lip in confusion, and after the initial struggle, she quickly made a decision.

——The door was opened from the outside.

In came Mr. Hilde, already in a rage.Joanna's dad didn't yell at the office though.But his cold gaze is enough to explain his attitude.

And, of course, the taunting rhetoric.

"Your work efficiency, Mr. Holmes! Although you have just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, since you have been able to return to work, I think you should be able to get into the mood soon!" Mr. Hilder spoke, but kept his eyes on Stared at the chair opposite Mycroft.

"You just had a visitor here?" Unsurprisingly, the first question Mr. Hilde asked was aimed at the previous visitor.

Mycroft was not at all swayed by his attitude. "—Minister of Transportation, he has an appointment record, he just left, is there any problem?"

"That's the best way!" Mr. Hilder took out the documents from the red box, and he quickly took out a stack of documents from it, "These are our work parts for this month. One of my subordinates was hospitalized , plus some other reasons, I came here in person this time. I hope you can cooperate with my actions, so that at least for this month, I won't have to see you again."

Joanna, who was hiding in the room, clicked her tongue secretly.The last time she heard Mr. Hilde criticize others with such sharp and frank remarks, it was an uninvited little clerk in elementary school.Mr. Hilde's attitude got him into a lot of trouble that time, because behind the little clerk stood a very powerful member of parliament, and Mr. Hilde offended that thread.

As a result of this lesson, Mr. Hilder began to become more tactful. He handled all the problems carefully, and gradually became what he is today - complex grammar supports the entire language system, and straightforward speech has long been eliminated in the world of occasions.

If he hadn't been extremely angry, Mr. Hilde would not have said such words to a colleague who was evenly matched with him.

Mycroft hit the jackpot.Of course, Joanna can't help but speculate whether Mycroft and Hilde are at odds.

While Joanna was struggling with the past, Mycroft had already read the summary provided by Hilde.He quickly checked the original document and picked out some word games.

Mr. Hilde was a little surprised by Mycroft's productivity.Apart from the conflicts between them due to work and Joanna's problems, it is not too difficult to agree with Holmes.

—He is as precise as a machine.This is the problem, Mr. Hilde can't see a change in Mycroft, he can't trust Holmes, and he can't believe that he will give Joanna his heart.

These are not major problems.

While revising the document, Mr. Hilde suddenly stood up. "I want to go to the bathroom. Your office has it..." He didn't wait for Mycroft's answer, and strode towards the side door hidden on the side in a womanizing gesture.

Mycroft didn't stop him, and he didn't have time to stop the purposeful surprise.But Mycroft still turned slightly sideways, and he simply adjusted his sitting position to ensure that Mr. Hilde would not see the whole picture under his desk.

Mr. Hilde pushed open the door of the bathroom, and everything inside could be seen at a glance. There was no place to hide inside, and of course Joanna would not hide in it.

This made Mr. Hilde a little disappointed. Although his informants were not able to get detailed information from Mycroft's office, there was no error in such a simple question as to who entered his office.

Since the informant said that Joanna entered the office and never came out, this is the truth.

It's almost a secret room.It just depends on where Joanna is hiding.

Mr. Hilde said that he wanted to use the bathroom, but he went in and turned on the faucet when he couldn't find Joanna.

In the office, Joanna poked her head out from under Mycroft's desk.Now Joanna is even more afraid to speak, because she has seen the end of her if she hid in the bathroom just now.

She heard the sound of Mr. Hilde closing the door, so she was in a hurry to run out of the door.

Make a time difference, and leave this office completely before Mr. Hilde comes out.

Mycroft didn't get out of the way, he had the opposite opinion with Joanna, he patted Joanna on the shoulder, and motioned Joanna to retreat under the desk.

——Don't he know that this location is not a good place!

The time Mr. Hilder looked away was so short that Joanna didn't even know when he would suddenly open the door and come out, catching her by surprise.This made her dare not poke her head any longer, arguing with Mycroft, so she could only shrink back aggrieved.

Mr. Hilde came out of the bathroom.He just washed his hands, which was not enough time for Joanna to come out from under the desk.Mycroft was right, and Joanna was helpless to discover that Mycroft understood her father better.

Probably the result of fighting wits and courage for so many years... Joanna thought maliciously.

"Did you hear anything just now? During the few minutes I was inside."

"Of course not." Mycroft didn't even blink.He sorted out the documents on his desk and pushed them in front of Mr. Hilde.

"These documents are no longer in question. I have signed them."

"I hope you are not anxious to drive me away because you have some problems." Mr. Hilde was unwilling to leave immediately, he was thinking about where he could hide in this room that basically had the same layout as his office The next Joanna.No matter how high the IQ of Holmes is, Joanna's size is there, which means that the places where she can hide are quite limited.

"If you still want to keep it, I'm afraid I have to tell you in advance about the documents that will be sent to you. Please be mentally prepared."

"You don't have to play these little tricks on me. No department likes mi6, and what you provide is never good news." Mr. Hilde said coldly.

"About Mr. Catu. He was in danger again in the hospital today. My brother happened to be there, so the person behind the scenes didn't poison him."

"This can only show that your work efficiency is low. I remember that your younger brother is a non-staff member! Does he go to Katu's place, does it conform to the work procedure?"

That's obviously just some clerical work!

Joanna, who was hiding under the desk, scoffed at Mr. Hilde's deliberate finding of faults.After all, Sherlock had made a lot of troubles before, as long as the result was good, no one said there was something wrong with him.

Also... this table is a damned bad thing.

The mahogany desk has a calm dark color and a thick atmosphere. The only disadvantage is that people can only curl up in it. After squatting for a long time, Joanna feels that the whole person is not very comfortable, and the blood circulation is not smooth enough. Numb, the only thing I can see in my career is Mycroft's leather shoes... and the only thing I can hear is their conversation.

"But the point of this news is that we have caught one of the people behind it."

Mycroft's voice came from above Joanna's head.Joanna's attention was entirely on his ankles—leather shoes were not attractive at all, they were either Oxfords or brogues, and it was just the difference between carved or not.

Instead, it was Mycroft's ankles, which were so slender that people were enviable.Although Joanna didn't worry about getting fat after eating, after noticing this kind of ankle, she probably couldn't call Mycroft a fat man in the future.

——Strictly speaking, he has long been out of the category of obesity.

There are also thighs, big long legs!Long and straight, wrapped in well-cut trousers, Joanna could now imagine that as a distraction from herself.And in the future,... in the future, she might have the opportunity to see Holmes' legs directly.

Cough cough, this thinking can also diverge.

Joanna listened to Mycroft explain to Mr. Hilde one by one the motives and reasons for Ricardo's crime.The most obvious thing is that he wants to be promoted earlier, and there is also the detailed background of Katu and the secrets hidden in the big family. Mr. Hilde's face is ugly when he hears it. He can't believe the audit report he got before, writing The card map is without any problems.

Such a dangerous person is actually by his side, and has become his key training target. He even wants to recommend this person to Joanna as a candidate for his daughter's boyfriend.Could anything be more ridiculous than this!

Mr. Hilde hoped that what Mycroft said at this time was a lie, but... as Mycroft mentioned just now, the corresponding reports and paperwork have been prepared compared to this time, Mycroft Not kidding about this kind of thing.

The news itself is believable.

What would Joanna think?Whether she will believe in Holmes' ability more because of this, girls in love are always worrying.In addition, Joanna was determined to be with Mycroft, so she broke away from his protection again and ran under the wing of Holmes instead.

So going around, Mr. Hilde's focus of thinking fell on Joanna again.

Where is Joanna hiding?The Cato incident did not interfere with Mr. Hilde's reasoning.His eyes finally fell on the back of Mycroft's desk.

This is the only place left.

"I don't think you have anything else to do. I have an appointment later... so..." Mycroft took the initiative to issue an eviction order.He had offended Mr. Hilde to death.This is already something that the entire upper and lower councilors know.Instead, it was Joanna's idea - she didn't want Mr. Hilde to see them together, so Mycroft was willing to cover Joanna.

Mr. Heard and Mycroft looked at each other for a moment.

The face of the man on the opposite side was pale, and he was usually pale after recovering from a serious illness. His condition was not good, and he had lost a lot of weight.These details had previously been glossed over by Holmes' customary efficiency.Those eyes were still gray-blue, cold and impressive.

But this is the first time that Mr. Hilde sees some kind of firm will in Holmes.

Mr. Heard guessed that Joanna was hiding behind the desk.

Mycroft also knew of Mr. Heard's discovery.

Mycroft was adamant that he would never let Mr. Heard go behind his desk and catch Joanna's determination.

If this was the first thing Holmes did for Joanna, Mr. Hilde felt that this was also a slight change.At least in the future when Joanna discovers the truth of Mycroft's deception, as a father, Mr. Heard can give a few examples to comfort his heartbroken daughter.

Based on this, and the care for Joanna.Mr. Hilde glanced at the desk complicatedly, then gave Mycroft a warning look, turned and walked out of the office.

The office door was closed, and Mycroft said to Joanna only after he was sure that Mr. Hilde could not change his mind and returned to the carbine, "You can come out."

It was dead quiet under the desk.

Mycroft reminded again, and he walked over nervously.After getting closer, a slight rubbing sound of cloth and carpet can be heard.

Joanna's stiff voice sounded from under the desk at the same time, "Can you give me a hand? My legs are numb..."

Mycroft heaved a sigh of relief, he looked helplessly at Joanna who was about to shed tears, and stretched out a hand.

"Mr. Holmes..." Cynthia knocked on the door. She saw Mr. Hilde leaving in displeasure, and came to clean up the mess as usual.

Joanna used her strength to get out from under the table. She held the table with her other hand and tried to support the weight, but this was unsuccessful. With both legs completely numb, the direct consequence of the imbalance of the center of gravity was that her waist was about to knock. on the desk.Mycroft gave her another tug, and Joanna fell disheveled on top of him.

Cynthia, who was also working extremely hard today, opened the door and saw such a scene. Cynthia sighed, and her digression was pulled back immediately.

Sure enough, she heard Mr. Holmes complain in a low voice in Miss Hilde's ear: "I think my wound is about to open again...you should lose weight..."
