[Comprehensive] Baker Street Survival Guide

After that vigorous wedding, a long time has passed.

Mycroft's work is still so busy, he and Joanna rarely appear together in the eyes of colleagues, and the two of them rarely attend charity banquets and related gatherings.

This makes those who once believed in true love start to have various conspiracy theories.

With the official retirement of Mr. Hilde, Joanna did not have enough confidence behind her to support her.Does this mean that Joanna and Mycroft's marriage is already in jeopardy, just like a certain high-ranking person, the next time he may appear in the public eye, it will be a car accident, an accident or something like that.

People who are worried or sarcastic, their eyes never stop.

But here's the thing -- Joanna has her own job and hobbies.Her focus is gradually returning to formal occasions and some business activities. It may be a bit late to start researching information technology in her twenties, but the best was five years ago, and the second is now.

Joanna had some initial bottlenecks, but then got better.She has natural public relations resources, and the road ahead will be smoother.

Buying a mansion, driving a yacht, and owning a helicopter... Every Christmas, Sherlock has more excuses to laugh at Mycroft.

"Don't you think you've been adopted?" Disgusted.

"What's the use of you doing this, why does Joanna want to be with you!" Doubly disgusted.

So, with such an invisible rich young wife, Mycroft should be the one to worry about.Um... To be more precise, no one needs to worry about this kind of problem. Death did not separate Joanna and Holmes. The essence of their lives is obviously to tease the ignorant masses. is the stupidest thing ever.

The most recent time was a public welfare fund activity organized by a certain organization for street children.The interests behind it involve a wide range of interests, and it is rare to enclose the scope of work of Joanna and Mycroft.

They decided to go to the appointment at the same time, put on the ring, one put on his three-piece suit, and the other put on the dress skirt that he hadn't worn for a long time.

When night falls, on the open-air banquet venue, the thin gauze dresses up the venue very beautifully.Appropriate lighting design makes the venue as bright as day, after enjoying the buffet.Joanna and Mycroft were sitting next to each other, holding some auction quotation boards in their hands.

"Is the champagne finished? Shall I get another glass?" Mycroft was considerate from every angle.Joanna nodded and smiled, handing the empty glass to her husband.

The wealthy businessman sitting next to them looked at them with some surprise. He seemed to be wondering why this couple is not as incompatible as outsiders say?

"Come back in time... I don't think you'll get lost in a place like this."

Afterwards, Mrs. Holmes' words effectively ended the wealthy businessman's doubts—there was still some unhappiness between the couple. Look at the thorny look in Mrs. Holmes' words. No matter how well the disguise is, there will always be something to show.

Stupid people are complacent about their little discoveries.Mycroft felt helpless and exchanged glances with Joanna. Joanna was speaking to this self-righteous rich businessman. To make outsiders misunderstand the relationship between them, she framed Mycroft in a disguised form. Especially interested in scumbags.

When Joanna did this in the first place, Mr. Hilde, who said he would never see her again, had a serious talk with Mycroft.

As a result, it was naturally discovered that all of this was Joanna's little game.

'Joanna did a great job!What can't be satisfied with this little hobby? '

That's right, she only has this little hobby... Mycroft walked out of the auction area helplessly.

The expression of the wealthy businessman sitting next to him turned slightly sympathetic. When he saw Joanna turn around and meet his eyes, he raised his glass again under cover.

Mycroft came back with champagne before the auction started.But from a rough look, what he brought back was not just champagne, but something more.

The adjoining rows began to whisper—Mycroft had brought back a child, five or six years old, with freckles and baby fat, dark brown curly hair curled up on his head, and his clothes were Three-piece set of children's clothing.The little boy looked very cute, but when he stood with Holmes, he looked a bit like an illegitimate child.

Reasonable people naturally know that this is impossible.

But those with more divergent thoughts can no longer control the facial expressions of gossip.

Someone wanted to come over to ask about the situation, but Mycroft seemed to have pinpointed the timing. He sat the little boy beside him, patted the little boy on the head happily, and the auction just started. After three blows of the auction hammer, the participants had to be quiet.

The first item to be auctioned was a Victorian screen that looked gray in the photographs and less noticeable in real life.

Joanna took out her phone, glanced at Mycroft, and edited a text message.

'Where did you find the kid, he looks like a picture of Sherlock as a kid? '

It was the older Mrs. Holmes who showed them the photograph.Some of her private possessions Joanna had never seen on any materials before.

——The young Sherlock and the big devil Mycroft?

They're so soft it's unbelievable.

Why do people grow up?It's not so cute when it grows up!

Joanna's phone vibrated, and she glanced down to reply.

'you are right.I decided to help Sherlock jog some memories. 'This little boy was met by Mycroft on the road.

He may be of mixed blood with Germanic ancestry, which can be judged comprehensively from his appearance and accent.The past life experience is complicated, precocious, the clothes on the body are stained with dust, and there is still sesame paste in the kitchen.Mycroft thought of an item on the auction list, a three-piece children's suit by a well-known designer.Such eccentricities were not easy to forget, especially for a man with such an excellent memory as Mycroft.

He didn't expose the little boy's worries, and at the same time, in order to prevent accidents from happening where he couldn't see, he brought the little boy here.

'Stimulate Sherlock?I don't think it's a good choice.He had already started attacking my weight last Christmas and I can't think of another tricky angle he could come up with. '

' He is still single after all, so it should be easy to understand. '

—— A knowing blow from a married person, Joanna smiled at the phone screen.

The only reason why they sit together and don't communicate with each other is to create a dramatic effect of a couple falling apart.This was done purely to let Mycroft be regarded as a scumbag, to see the helpless expression on his face.

And now...Joanna looked at the little boy staring at the auction table with a serious face. Now, she mainly showed it to this child.

The auction has entered the middle stage in a blink of an eye.Foreign porcelain, the only copy of philosophical works, suddenly turned into a family heirloom ring.

The enlarged projection shows that there is a line of inscriptions on the inner circle of the ring. This is an ancient Germanic family that has fallen down now, but the entire ring is still expensive. The legendary story and the background of charity exceed the value of gold and handicrafts themselves At least three times.

Everyone sitting next to him was not interested in this thing, and both Joanna and Mycroft noticed that the little boy's eyes lit up.

He bit his lower lip and struggled for a while, and finally grabbed Joanna's skirt.

Joanna lowered her head slightly, she leaned close to the little boy, and asked him gently: "What's the matter?"

"Can I get that ring back? That's very important to me." He paused, glanced at Mycroft, and continued: "You can keep it as a collection, and I will buy it at a higher price when I grow up." The one who got this ring. Please, I can promise you that I will never pester this gentleman..."

very good.

Joanna felt that if he really got along with Mycroft, if he was really worried that Mycroft would break up with her, combined with her style during the whole banquet, what she should do was to take the ring and find a way Get on good terms with the little boy and find out who the little boy's mother is...

Of course these are just guesses.

Most people don't go back to doubting a naive and ignorant child, just like they don't doubt a woman who is not valued by her husband.

After thinking about it, Joanna decided to follow the child's script firmly.

"Who can refuse such a cute child like you? And it's still doing charity." Joanna held up the auction, raising the price by 30 pounds at a time, which was enough to beat all the competitors and get this ugly small ring.

Looking down, the phone rang again.

'Large shot, it seems we thought the same thing. '

'Let me tell you the answer?The little boy you brought back... I saw signs of high IQ and anti-social from him, even when you walked over just now, I thought you were playing a game in "Prison Break"...'

'I don't watch American TV, Joanna. 'If there was an option of helplessness in the phone emoji, Mycroft would definitely click it countless times.He said he doesn't watch American dramas, but he knows all about them.

Prisoner who pulls head pockets in jail, implying affiliation?Joanna's metaphors are really getting more and more adventurous.

'I just saw a kid full of potential. '

'So is Tom. '

Tom!

Mycroft hadn't responded to Joanna's text message since.He didn't want to mention anything about Tom to his wife.The young man who took Mr. Hilde's job?

Although that Tom respectfully called Joanna 'Miss Hilde', it might be a little too much to still call her that after marriage.Mycroft didn't need the basic deduction method to know that the man was different from Kato, he really liked Joanna, and even Joanna's alternative was not only to have Tom take over Mr. Hilde's job, but also to to solve lifelong problems.

Sherlock had taunted Mycroft many times over this.His younger brother would never pass up every opportunity to attack his older brother, but Tom?This Joanna's good friend still made him unhappy.

"Can I see this auction item?" The little boy was asking Joanna again.

He told Joanna he was six years old.But Joanna has discovered his true identity.

Presenter at a charity event, a child in need.

Of all the kids who really needed money, this one was an accident.His age limited his development.Many people around Joanna have had this experience, Mycroft, Sherlock, Hannibal, Will, and even more secretive friends.

Joanna put the ring on the boy's hand indifferently.

There were still three lots before the auction of the children's suit. No matter how amateurish the backstage of the auction was, they should have discovered the problem by this time.

This is a very unlucky child.It fell into the hands of the only high-IQ player in the audience, but this is also a lucky kid. He will be guided in the right direction at the earliest time-to avoid detours, sometimes it is more important than anything else.

The little boy played with the ring very seriously, but his beautiful eyes searched for a way to slip away.

Joanna sighed, and she patted Mycroft on the shoulder. It was indeed not in the best interests of the script, but there was no need for the script to go on.

"My child... it's a headache."

"Need I remind you, does this happen to be part of your life plan?" Mycroft said to Joanna in a gentle tone as he looked at the child's panicked expression.

Joanna happily touched the child's head which had been covered, and said with a smirk, "Really? Mr. Holmes, please remind me of this schedule, and I will remember to lock the bedroom door."
