[Sherlock Holmes + Shenxia] Mirror Theory

Since the Irene Adler affair, all of London has been pretty quiet—probably the only one that hasn't been calm at Buckingham Palace.No one knew why, Li Weiyi, the top diplomat in China, didn't know what stimulated him, so he directly made a trip to visit the UK in just two days.I heard that one morning, Minister Li suddenly lost his temper, scolded the people in Guoan, and then skipped work and went home.

Afterwards, someone quietly asked the people in Guoan, but Guoan was also quite confused-in fact, Li Weiwei had no control over Guoan, but the relationship between this young boss and the top leaders of the major universities is very different. Quite well, and the foreign affairs department has such a little bit of relationship with other departments, so Li Weiwei scolded them for being unfavorable in doing things. They were wronged and forced... What's wrong with us?Is it the security of the last military exercise?Is it because overseas activities are not done well?No, boss, tell me why!

Li Weiyi would not be considerate of their feelings. After he went home and went to the office, his face was so dark that it could break through the limit of race.Five minutes after he entered the door, the secretariat immediately turned their backs on their backs, preparing for the boss's sudden visit.

Li Weiwei's visit can be regarded as a major national event. It is reasonable to say that he should not be so willful, but Li Weiwei's brain turned quickly, and he moved around a bit. This time the visit turned into a collection of trade exchanges, technological exchanges, etc. All kinds of affairs in one, serious political exchanges between the two great powers.If it's a single matter, it's enough to send a department leader there, but so many things come together... Logically speaking, Li Wei alone can't take it down, he must at least bring a group of people.

But he is Li Weiyi, he is responsible for everything!

In short, two days later, Li Weiyi flew directly to London, and the British side followed suit, completely confused by this sudden national event.Mycroft Holmes personally requested to receive this intellectual brain from China—speaking of which, it shouldn’t be Mycroft’s job to receive foreign guests...

But they are familiar!

Not familiar with each other, but in the future they will become familiar, maybe they will become relatives in the future.

Others don't know why Li Weiwei suddenly blew up his hair and made a fuss about nothing, but Mycroft must know, so in fact he still has a little guilt - the vests of the Li family brother and sister fell off after Moriarty was executed , This makes Mycroft especially empathetic when he thinks empathetically. He asked himself, if Sherlock becomes a woman, he can still be calm, but if Sherlock becomes a woman and then is beaten by Mike Lee ...

Can you not be crazy?Mycroft had every intention of waging war.

Thinking about it this way, when Mycroft looked at Li Weiwei, he was very considerate, even a little bit sympathetic - usually looking at Shirley was quite worry-free, but when he did it, it made big news, and the brothers had a hard time ah……

And Li Weiwei is very busy—he is really busy. On the way to Baker Street, he was on the phone, speaking in Chinese. Cooperative diplomatic relations..." Waiting for the Chinese, he realized after a second thought that these eight achievements are the United States.

The United States has been putting pressure on the United Kingdom because of its failure in the Irene incident. Among other things, Irene's mobile phone contains many handles of senior American officials, and the relationship between the United States and Britain is extremely ambiguous. Li Weiwei is here When visiting the UK, the United States probably regards it as China's intention to intervene.

Mycroft is so smart, he immediately called back to upgrade the security of the Chinese mission. The director of Scotland Yard will personally lead the diplomatic personnel protection team to cooperate with MI6.As soon as the two sides hung up the phone and looked at each other, the senior officials of China and Britain knew it in their hearts instantly.

"London doesn't seem to be peaceful either." Li Weiyi snorted coldly, and said lightly, with no expression of joy or anger on his face. "There is no room for the FBI to operate everywhere in Beijing. This is the dereliction of duty of the intelligence personnel and should be punished."

There are not only a few twists and turns in this sentence, if someone else faces Li Weiyi, he may be stunned and unable to answer.But Mycroft very naturally pulled out an official gentle smile reserved for politicians, and he even seemed quite sincere to pretend to be stupid once: "We have upgraded the security level of the Chinese delegation, and now London It's very safe."

Lee's only sharp and deep eyes fixed on Mycroft.The unrelenting sense of coercion of being in a high position for a long time and the long-term aloofness in wisdom have created a special aura unique to the Chinese brain.When anyone sees him, the first impression will be that he sees a high mountain standing upright and a great river running.He stared icily at Mycroft for a moment, then finally snorted and looked away.

Mycroft smiled as if nothing had happened, and was about to speak when Li Weiwei said: "It seems that Mr. Holmes' wedding is approaching, so I would like to congratulate him in advance."

"Ah, thank you." Mycroft raised his eyebrows, paused in his mind for a while, and immediately understood where the other party saw the flaw.The car they are riding in now is Mycroft's car, which is extremely safe. It is worth mentioning that the length of the rear seat of this car is adjustable.

If it's a secretary, I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to adjust the seat. Only people who often ride in this car will adjust the length of the seat.With Li's only sharpness, just take a look at Mycroft's tie which is too small for a man, plus the car seat... It is not difficult to guess that there is a close female beside Mycroft .

Even Li Weiyi could guess who the woman was by combining the information a little bit.

"Marriage is a very strong relationship, the final result of mutual compromise between two forces, and a wedding is an exhibition after negotiation. Representatives of both parties will give speeches at the wedding and show the results of their negotiations." Mycroft I don't know what I thought of, and said something with some emotion.

"This is not something that a person who is about to get married should say, Mr. Holmes. But it seems that you have reached an agreement with your bride. It is not easy to find a like-minded woman these days." Li Weiyi glanced at Mike With a glance at Loft, he directly cooperated with his desire to ease the atmosphere and shorten the friendship.

Anyway, Li Weiwei knows Li Mingye very well.She found her partner by herself, and he is not willing to dictate to his sister, so at this time, as an older brother, what can he do?

It's nothing more than to see what kind of person that little bastard is.

Perhaps we should strengthen the relationship with the National Security and the General Staff, and set up an intelligence office on Baker Street... Li Weiwei thought so, and he had already started to build a social network for all parties in his mind, and a series of names and ideas crossed his mind. , was quickly put together by him.

When Mycroft and Li Weiyi arrived at Baker Street, Sherlock, Li Mingye, John, and Mrs. Hudson were planning to play "Crazy Detective" (the introduction is too long to post, it's just a reasoning card game anyway) , because the number of people is not enough, John is considering whether to call his current girlfriend over (requires six people).Sherlock, on the other hand, prefers to go directly to an apartment opposite 221B and call the agent on duty. Li Mingye suggested that she and Sherlock could play two roles...but anyway, Mycroft and Li's only Arrival can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

When Holmes and Li from the two governments appeared, Holmes and Li in 221B looked quite surprised, especially Li Mingye.She was stunned for a rare moment, then stood up and hugged Li Weiyi, still a little surprised: "Mike?"

"It seems that you just finished a small case and are now on a break, dear Shirley." Li Weiwei accused her seriously, "I can't believe that you don't care about national affairs at all. In our case I have the impression that my sister reads the news and briefings every day instead of indulging in board games, cigars and cigarettes, and dangerous chemicals like meth.”

"Come on, dear brother, we have just settled a major national issue." Li Mingye said amusedly, she and Mycroft nodded in greeting, and their expressions had already brought a little helplessness as they thought about it.She took Li Weiwei's arm, turned around and introduced, "So let me introduce..."

"No need." Li Weiwei said gently, his eyes glanced at the people in the room, and finally stretched out his hand to John: "John Watson, I have heard of you, and I am also one of the readers of your blog , you have quite good literary skills. If you hadn’t said in your blog that you were a military doctor, I would have thought you were a novelist, but ordinary novelists are not as brave as you.” She gave her sister a friendly sideways glance, "Xue Li often does some very dangerous things, and having a warrior like you by her side makes me feel relieved a lot."

"Oh...uh, thank you for the compliment, I'm really flattered, I didn't expect to see you." John was stunned at first, and then shook hands with Li Weiyi, who was a little flattered, because he knew Mike Lee, an internationally renowned figure of.

"This must be Mrs. Hudson? Shirley also mentioned you. She told me that Mrs. Hudson is a very lovely and lively lady. You know, because of her profession, she usually exaggerates, but This time her description is quite appropriate." Li Weiwei was so peaceful that he looked like an ordinary elder brother of a friend who met his sister for the first time. The secretary who came in almost rolled his eyes...

Mrs. Hudson shook hands with Li Weiwei with some excitement and surprise: "Oh...God, I really can't believe it, you are such a lovely gentleman."

"Thank you, Mrs. Hudson." When Li Weiyi's gentle gaze turned to Sherlock, it instantly became sharper-sharp and deep, with scrutiny and condescending displeasure, like a dusty arsenal suddenly opened the door, The ferocious and cold gun (anti-harmony) muzzle and barrel were exposed.

This high-ranking Chinese official, who has been quite gentle, approachable and elegant since he entered the door, finally revealed his true face. His indifferent and profound gaze pierced into him, and he could dissect people down to the atomic level at a glance.He looked at Sherlock, his slow-looking eyes glanced over the curly hair, face, clothes and exposed hands of the young detective one by one, and he opened his mouth to speak—

"Mrs. Hudson, could you please make us a cup of your specialty black tea?" Li Mingye smiled at Mrs. Hudson from the side, but she looked at Li Weiwei with a meaningful expression. "Although my brother prefers coffee and milk tea, my parents obviously don't want him to continue to gain weight, so please don't add milk and sugar to tea, thank you."

Li Weiwei turned his head and glared at his sister who likes to make things difficult, then at Sherlock, finally waved his hand helplessly, and told his secretary: "Xiao Chen, go help Mrs. Hudson, A gentleman shouldn't put a lady to work." At this point, he gave Sherlock a meaningful sideways glance.

Sherlock opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was held down by John next to him.This little military doctor is more than a hundred miles better than Sherlock in dealing with the world. He glared at Sherlock and whispered: "Shut up, you will do bad things if you speak."

"It's obvious, my brother." Mycroft, who didn't know when he sat next to him, chuckled, "Mike Lee is not so easy to talk to, Shirley is willing to help you, you should be grateful—and for this In that situation, the way you express your gratitude is by keeping your mouth shut."

And over there, the brothers and sisters of the Li family had already started a harmless verbal war.

Li Weiwei: "Parents? They never like to meddle in my business. Only you always make them worry, dear little princess Mingming. If they are here, they must throw your cigars out as soon as possible. Look at the ashes." Shaped like a Cohiba cigar?"

Li Mingye: "Really? I remember that on the phone, my parents seemed to be very dissatisfied with you for being single and I already had a boyfriend, my dear brother, and they seemed to blame this on your body shape .If I'm not wrong, you haven't been outdoors for a long time, look at the color of the skin on the back of your neck and the skin below your neckline, there is almost no difference, you should be thankful that our parents are not as good as us!"

Li Weiwei: "It's not what a well-bred lady should do, Shirley, not to mention your life attitude is more loose than mine. You are actually shooting (anti-harmony) guns at the wall now, which makes me uncomfortable I can't believe it - don't rush to refute, those bullet holes are about 1.5 meters from the ground, that can only be done by you. What makes me even more unbelievable is the bullet holes at 1.7 meters! It looks like He is simply a lawless and dangerous element..."

Li Mingye: "God! I don't think it's a big deal to shoot a few shots into the wall. I have a legal gun license, and you are not my landlord. Mike, stop complaining like a kid who has been robbed of his toys , you came this time—let me see—a large aircraft of Air China, you also had a meal paired with high-end red wine, and the service staff also delivered neck pillows, blankets and sweets? It seems that you are coming to London Why do you hold on to Sherlock when you deal with state affairs?"

Li Weiwei: "What? Don't you think that my sister—I, Li Weiwei's sister, having an intimate relationship with Mycroft Holmes' younger brother is not considered a national event? I'm afraid there is no bigger matter for me I've got to do something, especially with Mr Holmes' apparent indifference to the Chinese exclusion..."

Seeing that Li Weiwei began to vent his anger and attack indiscriminately, Mycroft immediately cleared his throat and coughed, and said: "In fact, the government has been doing its best, Mr. Li, but because of the different national conditions, we may think in the direction Not very consistent ... but trust me, those people can't even figure out what they are against, let alone execute them."

Li Weiyi snorted coldly and did not answer.

Li Mingye looked at him, finally couldn't help sighing, and hugged his brother.

"I'm doing fine, Mike dear," she said solemnly, not a statement but a promise. "Trust me, I'll always be fine."

After the Li family brothers and sisters ended their harmless bickering, when Li Weiwei looked at Sherlock again, although he didn't show any sign of acceptance, at least his nose was no longer a nose or an eye.Even this high-ranking official in China joined the board game group with great interest, and played together to play Mysterious Detective. Under such circumstances, Mycroft also joined...

This is probably the weirdest combination of reasoning games ever, a tabletop card game, a collection of four "Holmes and Lee", which is really scary and unfriendly - especially for Mrs. Hudson and John explain.

As the head of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs who has no experience in playing games, he is actually quite interested in this game... One time when the cards were dealt, he said to another brother at the table with emotion: "These games It’s funny, I’ve exhausted even more brain power than the last UN summit, and I’ve seldom had such fun in my normal life.”

Mycroft nodded approvingly, looking extremely sympathetic.

"The fun of the game depends on the intelligence level of your companions." Probably only Sherlock would be quite dissatisfied, especially when he raised the accusation at the beginning of a certain game and accused the murderer Mrs. Hudson— —Others will be a little more considerate of the two ordinary people, at least let them survive for a while. "Some hypotheses sound illogical at first glance, such as killing the dead with candlesticks in the library - if there is such a case, the lower limit of criminal IQ in criminal history will be refreshed again."

"This is a game, my dear." Li Mingye casually reassured, "There are always some passionate murderers who will use all kinds of ridiculous methods to kill the dead, let alone some accidents. I still remember the incident two months ago. That case? The murderer lost the victim’s head with a tennis ball, the original intention was just a joke, who knew the deceased had a brain tumor?”

How should I put it... When playing games, smart people will play jokes on each other just like ordinary people.It's just that ordinary people talk about dishwashers, refrigerators, televisions, subways and buses, while smart people talk about things that ordinary people don't understand.

Mycroft and Li were the only ones who complained to each other about the secretary who couldn't keep up with the train of thought and the subordinate who always couldn't learn to use his brain. Because of the different organizations they worked for, they talked quite restrainedly, and they talked about trivial matters.For example, "I have a subordinate who recently found a spy as his girlfriend" and "My secretary has not brought all the written materials I may use for the third time."Of course, how many "written materials they may use", how much coverage, what specific aspects of the materials, and why the subordinate's girlfriend was not immediately exposed and repatriated, and even whether the subordinate was punished, Which organization the spy belongs to... This is a question that they can only infer in each other's minds.

On the other hand, Li Mingye and Sherlock were talking about more approachable issues, and sometimes Mrs. Hudson and John could even interject a few words.For example, "The last medical malpractice case that was classified as an accident was actually a murder. The doctor deliberately changed the drug that was symptomatic but caused other complications according to the patient's illness-don't ask me why, I know it from the information. The doctor claimed that he He didn’t come to work temporarily, but the leather shoes he wore that day had fresh mud marks near the hospital.” and “After the serial murder case in Westminster was solved, there was an accomplice who was not found. I personally think it was because he was arrested. Mr. Murderer killed him and ate him... Of course, there is no evidence, this is speculation based on psychological evaluation."

In any case, the atmosphere is quite harmonious and happy. Even Mrs. Hudson and John, who are ordinary people, are ordinary people tainted with a strange atmosphere. Lee, if they suddenly pulled a anydoor out of their stomach pockets and invited them to visit Mars, they could all ask these smart people fairly calmly if they could change into two spacesuits first.

When John jokingly said this sentence, he won the approval of Mrs. Hudson, but the four wise men cast puzzled eyes.

"What is any door?" Sherlock was a little puzzled.

"Take it out of the stomach pocket?" Li Mingye glanced at Li Weiyi for some reason.

"Sounds very interesting, a technological product that can transmit space?" Mycroft raised his eyebrows and smirked.

"..." Li Weiyi originally wanted to speak, but he only gave Li Mingye a look, and the latter looked away embarrassingly.

John opened his mouth, and finally he slapped himself on the face, took out his phone, and opened the Google interface.The four smart people took the phone curiously and looked at it. Finally, Sherlock said bluntly: "From the description, it seems to be a technological product that can be used for ultra-long-distance transmission. Because it is from a cartoon, its energy The structure and the level of technology are pretty irrational - I have to say, John, these films will corrupt your already empty brain."

"My God, this is a cartoon! The audience is children! Children don't have to care about whether it is reasonable or not. In cartoons, even people who have been cut in two can recover without bleeding from the wound!" John Holding his forehead to complain, he immediately spoke first after meeting Sherlock's gaze. "There is no duodenum, colon, pancreas, kidneys, etc. that you think flow out. My God, it is a cartoon! Mycroft, what did your brother watch when he was a child ?CNS? ("Cell", "Nature", "Science", the three major scientific journals, if you are interested, you can use Baidu)"

Mycroft smirked, apparently acquiescing.

Sherlock even recalled: "Not only that, but also some books on music. I was interested in natural science when I was a child, but later my interest shifted to music and chemistry."

John opened his mouth, but finally heaved a sigh, and made a unilateral decision: "I decided to show you some cartoons when there are no cases... You need some common sense, my smart people." Seeing Sherlock He and Li Mingye's eyes pierced in an instant, and he immediately turned to Mrs. Hudson. "Mrs. Hudson, do you have anything to recommend?"

As an Englishman, Mrs. Hudson blurted out immediately: "Harry Potter?"

"That's a movie...well, just Harry Potter," John said firmly. "We need some cheer as we get closer to Christmas instead of talking about entrails, bones, and murder weapons. Speaking of which, Summer Locke, I threw the eyeball you put on Mrs. Hudson's blue and white china plate, it's rotten and attracts flies. I don't want to see flies indoors in winter!"

Sherlock opened his mouth, paused suddenly, and then responded without changing his expression—he wanted to say that the eyeball belonged to Shirley, but Li Mingye had no expression on his face, and kicked him lightly under the table .Men have a natural, beast-like sensitivity at this time, and his response is quite smooth, John and Mrs. Hudson didn't think there was anything wrong, but Li Weiyi and Mycroft both looked at Li Weiyi meaningfully. Mingye glanced at it, and Li Mingye was a little taken aback, then she smiled.

She looked down at the eye-pattern, and after casually spit out a deduction, she said to John: "This is probably the cunning of ordinary people?"

John smiled happily and kindly, just like the usual "good John".He coughed lightly, and before Sherlock could recover, he gave up directly: "Come on, I admit that's how I killed people. Congratulations to Ms. Li from Scotland Yard for catching the murderer again."

Li Weiwei stayed in London for four days.

The international issues resolved in these four days can be broadcast for about a week if it is replaced by news—this is quite rare in the time-sensitive news industry.As for the follow-up of these international issues, if we continue to follow up and report, it will probably be a whole topic.

Even before leaving, Li Weiyi took the time to express his attitude towards the Asia-Pacific economic circle.He emphasized that the Asia-Pacific is a community. In terms of economy, everyone should achieve common prosperity. China is a responsible big country. It is China's responsibility to drive the economic development of the Asia-Pacific region...

Of course, these are just clichés, but in some people's eyes, Li Weiyi is simply drawing his sword against certain countries.

By the way, Li Weiyi came quite coincidentally, and he even got an extra share of the Irene incident-this kind of political issue will not be discussed here.All in all, Li Weiwei successfully turned an ad hoc operation into a successful diplomatic activity with significant significance, huge profits, win-win cooperation, and seeking common ground while reserving differences. China even resolved several extradition issues in one fell swoop.Mycroft Holmes's girlfriend has to be mentioned here, and Miss Andreasia McQueen has also contributed.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to attend Holmes' wedding in time." Before boarding the plane, Li Weiwei made a half-joking joke. In fact, it would be at least half a year before Mycroft got married.But the name "Holmes" is a pun, especially when he gave Li Mingye a deep look, the meaning behind his words is self-evident. "It's not too rude to say a blessing in advance."

Considering the positions of senior officials from both China and the UK, Holmes and Li will not get married after all—Li Weiyi and Mycroft have no interest in making excuses for themselves, while for Li Mingye and Sherlock, their A verbal commitment is far more important than marriage registration.

People like them, once they commit, it weighs a thousand pounds.

Even knowing this, Li Weiwei, who has received Chinese education for more than 30 years, still has some regrets.Of course, he doesn't deny that there are also reasons for the bad taste - think about Li Mingye's wedding dress!

Li Mingye gave Li Weiyi a funny look.

"This is the request of my parents, dear Shirley." Li Weiwei spoke sternly, as if he was answering a reporter's question. "And I have to live up to their expectations, which is a pretty cruel answer for me, and of course, for them too."

Li Mingye was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while with complicated expression, and finally spoke.

"I will return to China for a period of time during the Spring Festival. The specific time will be determined according to the schedule. If Sherlock is free, I will invite him to go to Beijing together." She breathed a long sigh of relief, and her expression brightened again.

The huge silver plane took off from the runway, the nose of the nose was a scorching gorgeous and majestic Chinese red.Li Mingye watched Li Weiyi's plane fly into the sky and break through the clouds. After a long time, his face was still dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Are you thinking about China?" Sherlock's voice came from behind, still deep, but peaceful and elegant, not like the man who was too smart and arrogant.He walked over, tore off one of his gloves, grabbed Li Mingye's hand and held it.

A hedgehog faces the world with his spines and nuzzles the love of his life with his soft belly.Sherlock has always had a kind of gentleness and sincerity from the heart in front of Li Mingye, like a cat with its fluffy belly unscrupulously turned out, sometimes arrogantly playing bad temper, but most of the time, This black curly cat will try its best to get into Li Mingye's arms.

Li Mingye smiled, she let go of her fingers and let Sherlock's fingers slip between her fingers like a fish, and then held it firmly.Sherlock likes to shake hands like this, in fact he is quite fond of physical contact, and in public, this kind of behavior is intimate without being too rude.Of course, Li Mingye also liked it.

"I was wondering when should I invite you to accompany me to meet my parents."

"Anytime, and the answer will always be 'yes.'"

……

The beep of the mobile phone rang, Li Mingye took out the mobile phone and glanced at it.

"Sherlock?"

"Ok?"

"Go back. We have another case. According to Lestrade, the deceased was a 33-year-old white woman..."

The soft female voice and deep male voice merged into the hustle and bustle of the airport, like water droplets melting into a sea, like gravel blowing into a desert, like the evening wind gently dropping dandelion seeds, like falling on a winter night The first flakes of snow.

Time flows.

And the hand that they can still hold together after more than 100 years has never let go.
