Erin escapes, but the affair is not over.

On the evening of the second day, Mycroft visited 221B again.The purpose of his visit this time is very simple, to let Sherlock stop worrying about the photos.

"But I haven't got the picture yet." Sherlock sat on his sofa, posing in the most common way he greeted Mycroft - violin slung over his shoulder, ready to saw wood.

"This matter has nothing to do with you now." Mycroft repeated with an accent.

"Why? Just because those stupid Americans got involved?" Sherlock shot him a look.He met an agent of the CIA at Irene, also for Irene's camera phone.It is obvious that there are definitely more than some indecent photos in that phone.

"If that reason satisfies you," Mycroft replied, but they both knew that was impossible. "And speaking of which, I care a lot about what made you fail. I'm sure Yang reminded you, didn't I?"

"Someone stumbles, another stumbles." Sherlock replied bluntly, placing the violin bow dangerously on the strings.

"Oh, you learned Chinese by yourself." Mycroft was slightly surprised, but only nodded. "It sounds like that." He paused, "I guess it took you eight hours? The square font system cannot be inferred from the European language system."

"Seven and a half."

Mycroft nodded again, this time knowingly. "Then I can also guess that you saw something that you thought was so incredible that you accidentally missed it? For example, some kind of special photo?"

Sherlock squinted at him, clearly full of warnings.Those photos of Wei Yang were apparently taken during the last hijacking, after which he and Mycroft reached a verbal agreement.Sherlock had no doubt that Mycroft knew, but he didn't want to hear Mycroft tell him that.

"Well, I see what you mean," said Mycroft, twirling the handle of his umbrella, "but I must say he didn't see as much reaction as you did, Sherlock. "

"He hardly cares!" Sherlock retorted. "But he doesn't care, it doesn't mean it's not a kind of harm!"

"So you feel it's your duty to protect him?" Mycroft looked down at him slightly, his eyebrows raised as well as his tail. "You really surprised me this time."

Sherlock slumped onto the backrest. "It's not an obligation. It's just..." He frowned slightly, as if distressed at not being able to think of a suitable description, but the expression was fleeting. "No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with you." He said coldly. "If you are really free, I suggest you pay more attention to your weight loss menu."

"Thanks for the concern, it's fine." Mycroft puckered his lips at him in what looked like a new way of getting a toothache. "And I would also like to suggest to you that if you really want to change something, the first thing is not to get the picture from Erin, but to change the way you speak."

Sherlock glared at him instantly. "As hypocritical as you?"

"People usually describe it as being polite, my brother." Mycroft returned to that look of knowing he wasn't genuinely smiling, and looked up at the time. "It's almost time. I have to go and apologize to my old friend who I have known for many years." This old friend is the Queen of England.He didn't get the mobile phone. As the British government, of course he has to take some responsibility.

"Say hello to her for me," Sherlock said, without apology in his tone.

Mycroft paused, then nodded, and turned to leave.The moment he stepped out of the door of the living room, a word came from behind: "Don't tell him this."

"You think he won't think of it himself?" Mycroft went downstairs without looking back.

Sherlock stared at his back, put down the violin almost immediately, got up and walked quickly to the window.Then he was not surprised to see a man with short black hair standing outside the awning of the coffee shop, almost dropped his bow.

As soon as Wei Yang got home from get off work, he was summoned downstairs to wait for someone. He couldn't help wondering, but Mycroft didn't make him wait for too long.Some topics are obviously inappropriate to discuss on the side of the road, and the two got into the little black car.

"You know what I'm going to say today, right?" Mycroft asked straight to the point, his tone full of affirmation.

I just went to Buckingham Palace yesterday, it is not easy to forget so quickly, Wei Yang complained. "I'm not old enough to get Alzheimer's disease."

"So what do you think of the outcome?"

Wei Yang stared at him sensitively. "Do you want to say that this failure was caused by scruples? After all, if it goes well, you would have been able to take the photo to the job. Unlike now, you can only monitor Irene and dare not act rashly ?” The driver got out of the car to act as a bodyguard, and the secretary was pressing the BlackBerry outside, it didn’t matter how straightforward he said it.

"No, it's useless to regret something after it happened." Mycroft denied.He was still turning the black umbrella, and the expression on his face was dignified in the dim light inside the car. "She's in Italy now."

Wei Yang pouted. "She'd better hide tighter." When Mycroft glanced over, he spread his hands: "It's not just your people who are staring at her, isn't it? The Americans are all involved in this matter. It clearly shows that she has obtained something beyond the function of self-protection, which is more likely to cause death. This is simply obvious." Otherwise, why did the woman who takes the pleasure of conquering hide everywhere?

Mycroft watched him, musing.Eileen is usually a soloist, and her personality makes it possible for her to act out of bounds, so she has to have that camera phone to blackmail people into helping if things go wrong. "You think she won't come back?"

"No, I'm sure she will come back." Wei Yang said.This question requires less reasoning than the previous one - the main quest is still in progress, how could the clue characters not come back to find Sherlock?It's just that he still doesn't understand what the scandal has to do with the air crash...

No, there are not only indecent photos in Irene's mobile phone, but also some things that are too confidential and have attracted the attention of the CIA. Is it related to the air crash?Also, didn't Sherlock say that a man should have died in a plane crash in Düsseldorf, Germany, but ended up dead in the boot of a car in Southwark, London?

These clues all point to a hypothesis that the air crash in Dusseldorf was actually man-made, and there may be another plan in progress.The information Irene has almost certainly suggests the latter—it's pretty telling that the Americans and not the Germans were involved.

So, what is a man-made air crash?Terrorist hijacking?Or planted a bomb?Judging from the air crashes that have taken place, the latter is more likely.And the person who died from Germany to Britain was either caused by terrorists, or there was a mistake in the countermeasures adopted by the German and British governments...?

So to sum it up, it is possible that terrorists planted a bomb on a plane traveling between the United Kingdom and the United States, and the intelligence agencies of the two countries probably already knew about it and took measures for it?Irene has connections with Moriarty, so she was targeted because of the possibility of leaking the government's response plan to the terrorist organization?

This reasoning seems reasonable, but the British government is sitting next to him... A layer of cold sweat broke out on Wei Yang's back.What happened to the sudden feeling that he knew too much?

"That doesn't sound like good news," Mycroft concluded.He could notice the subtle expression changes on Wei Yang's face, and thought that what he said to Sherlock just now was indeed true.They did leak the news, but so far, Irene has not been able to solve the mystery.Once she finds out that no one else can guess the meaning, she will come back to Sherlock for help. "Do you think Sherlock will let her escape a second time?"

"No." Wei Yang reflexively denied.This matter is not very fun, and if you don't know the priorities, the consequences will be serious. "I'll make Sherlock forget about those pictures."

"Very good." Mycroft breathed a sigh of relief.This meant that Wei Yang would cooperate with him, and Sherlock would definitely play against him.

Wei Yang paused for a while.He thought it was impossible for Mycroft not to see that he had guessed a lot of things in a row (mainly because the system reminded him of the inevitable connection between the plane crash and the scandal), but the other party didn't seem to want to ask at all.Under normal circumstances, for those who know too much, isn't the end result of being silenced?Although he thinks this approach makes sense, it doesn't mean he thinks it's good for him to be silenced.So he decisively took this as a sign that the conversation was over, nodded and got out of the car.

The little black car glided on the streets of London at the beginning of night, not inconspicuous at all.Mycroft closed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to handle this matter.

The Dusseldorf air disaster was indeed the result of his cooperation with the Germans-they got word that someone had planted a bomb on the plane.Neither can there be real casualties, nor can the source of the news be exposed, so he came up with a way to replace all the passengers on that flight with people who died of natural causes.In this way, only one plane is lost, and they can continue to get new information.

The plan was perfect, but it was a pity that there was a mistake in the middle link, and there was a fish that slipped through the net.This undoubtedly attracted the attention of terrorist organizations and made them suspicious.And of course he couldn't let this suspicion be confirmed, otherwise their years of preparation for it would be in vain.

In this way, it is very important to be able to stop Irene.Or more accurately, preventing Sherlock from telling Irene the correct answer to the riddle.And Sherlock has no reason to do so, as long as he doesn't fall into Erin's trap.

"A qualified weakness should come into play at this time." Mycroft whispered.He now clearly realizes that weakness is not a bad thing.His weakness is Sherlock, and Sherlock's weakness is Wei Yang, and this weakness is willing to cooperate with him 100%.This is a perfect closed chain.While he's used to planning for a rainy day, things probably don't always get worse.And to be honest, he seemed to have to agree with Moriarty's point of view - fickleness is an advantage in Wei Yang, and even weaknesses have become advantages.

At this time, Wei Yang was going upstairs and sneezed twice unexpectedly.Sherlock must have been upset to see him discussing things with Mycroft again!
