Countdown all over the world

The disappearance of Watson not only alarmed Inspector Lestrade and his men.Even the people in the intelligence organization department were shocked by the news.

Mycroft frowned, but his hands were still steady, and he signed his name on the document handed over by his subordinates.

"Inspector Lestrade and the others are investigating this matter." His subordinates reported.

Mycroft shook his head: "Without that doctor, let's not mention how Xiali will be affected. What's more, the person we need to find this time is precisely Watson."

"Are you worried that he will make trouble in his busy schedule?" the subordinate asked.

Mycroft looked sideways, with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "You know I don't like being guessed."

Mycroft's status in the intelligence organization is not low, and he has power beyond ordinary people.Logically speaking, everyone should be afraid of him.

but……

The subordinate bowed his head: "According to the information, Sherlock Holmes now has a temporary assistant by his side."

Mycroft narrowed his eyes slightly, and he closed the volume in his hand.Turn around and sit down in the seat, and gently smooth out the wrinkles caused by walking.

"It's the girl, isn't it!"

Men nodded.

Mycroft pursed his lips, this Annie had already attracted enough of Xiali's attention.Now at such a wonderful moment, he became Xiali's new assistant.

very suspicious...

Of course, Mr. Mycroft, the "brother's accuser", has completely forgotten that it was his younger brother who asked Anne for help first.

Mycroft: Will it?Although Xiali was a bit stupid, she was always quite obedient since she was a child.

……

"Inspector, it is absolutely impossible for us to investigate so many places in such a short period of time." A male subordinate couldn't help complaining, "If so many police forces are sent out in one go, then if they go out If things go wrong, we’ll be completely out of hands.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone slowed down their hands.

Obviously, there are not many people who have such thoughts.

Holmes stopped Annie who was about to speak, turned around and said to the male subordinate who was in the early stage: "I should have told you directly about your wife's affair, so that you don't have to rush back to the candlelight dinner tonight. But I It was later discovered that your dinner partner did not seem to be your wife either."

The man's eyes widened, and he wanted to open his mouth to refute something, but his lips trembled for a long time before he said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Holmes looked calm, as if he wasn't the one who just said such a secret thing.On the contrary, the face of the male subordinate turned pale obviously, and even his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists.

Who is right and who is wrong can hardly be more clear at a glance.

Annie glanced at Holmes who was not about to speak again, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You'd better not go back tonight, otherwise the two sides will collide, and it will not be something that can be settled easily. Your wife's force value, it seems Not low?"

Annie glanced at the numbers above the man's head, and smiled slightly: "Finish things well here, protect the people, and at the same time help myself a little bit."

Holmes turned around and frowned at Inspector Lestrade: "If they can do what I say with peace of mind, it won't take long. If there is a delay, it is all because of the slowness of their hands. "

Inside and outside the words, he was obviously full of dislike for this group of people.

"goldfish"……

Annie was a little speechless and saw that the people around her became visibly angry.They all turned their heads to look at Inspector Lestrade, as if waiting for the officer to find a place for everyone to come back.

Inspector Lestrade: Don't look at me, I'm stressed too!Do you think I like working with this Sherlock Holmes...

Annie took a step forward and held down Holmes who was about to say something.

"Holmes and I will take the first step, and the southern half will be handed over to us. You only need to be responsible for the northern part, which will save some time." Anne said to Inspector Lestrade.

The detective, who was tortured so pitifully by Holmes, was very grateful for Anne's concession.In any case, reducing the workload by half on the surface can also calm down the group of people under him.

At least, start working without too many complaints, right?

Holmes turned his head to look at Anne, and then stared at the map for a while.Only then remained silent, obviously acquiescing to Anne's arrangement.

The two set off quickly, leaving the ruts all the way, heading straight to the southeast.

The inspector sighed, looked at the backs of the two leaving quickly, and shook his head silently.Turning his head, he saw that his subordinates were still staring at Holmes' back. They were obviously surprised that Mr. Detective had followed other people's arrangements.

This is really incredible.

Although Inspector Lestrade was also full of gossip, he didn't have time to satisfy his small thoughts at this time.

"Get to work, you guys. Let's go now!" Inspector Lestrade greeted angrily.

You know, Sherlock Holmes and Annie are responsible for nearly half of the workload.If in the end, their speed was far behind them, it would be too ridiculous and generous.

The inspector was obviously angry, and everyone restrained their jokes and complaints, and quietly accelerated the speed of their subordinates, and they were ready to go.

On the carriage, Annie was studying the map with her head down.Holmes beside him suddenly turned his head, looking serious.

"Sherlock," he said.

Annie barely looked away from the map, and looked at Holmes in a puzzled way: "What?"

Holmes paused, with rare patience: "You can call me Sherlock."

So soon, doesn't he need to be called Sherlock Holmes?Annie was a little surprised.

She thought that, like Sherlock Holmes, he could be regarded as an extreme genius, and he still had a little bit of arrogance about his talent.You should be very proud, but you are so "approachable" all of a sudden?

"Sherlock?" Annie raised an eyebrow.

Holmes nodded: "No matter what happens in the end, I should thank you for your willingness to help me this time."

The rare directness of the great detective made Annie not know what to do.

She took a few deep breaths before she recovered.He thumped Holmes on the shoulder heavily, and joked with a smile: "As long as you don't always follow me in the future, thank God."

Holmes bowed his head, looking serious in thought.In his eyes, there was even a little struggle.It really made Annie laugh.

"Why, it seems that you are quite reluctant?" Annie said.

Holmes pursed his lips and admitted bluntly: "Yes, it's quite reluctant."

After all, he had worked so hard for so long, but he couldn't figure out how Annie could see his disguise.Moreover, it can be seen at a glance every time.

You know, since he started working as a consulting detective...

No, since he can remember, he hasn't been defeated so thoroughly.

The time Holmes remembers is quite early.If he calculated it like this, Anne would definitely be the first formidable enemy he encountered in his life.

At this time, he was forced to no longer fight.Didn't this kill Holmes' curiosity, and more importantly, wouldn't there be no chance of a comeback?

"Really so reluctant?" Annie frowned, which was unexpected.

Holmes sighed a long time and nodded exaggeratedly: "Yes, but since you mentioned it, I will always keep my promise."

Although I didn't expect Mr. Detective to care so much, he was finally able to walk safely.You don't have to pay attention to whether there are a bunch of question marks floating around you all the time, Anne is definitely a good thing that can make people cry with joy.

"Okay." She replied quickly, with such a snappy look that Holmes didn't even have a chance to ask again.

Even the deflated Holmes looked bad, but he couldn't say anything.He lowered his head and carefully looked at the map under his hand.

south...

This is what Annie chose when she so-called backed down, not at will.

Just look at the few circles drawn on the map, most of them are in the south, and you can see it.

"These are my serious doubts."

Annie pointed to the marked places, especially the one next to the abandoned factory.

"Even if the other party wants to play with you and has a plan, they will never do such a complicated thing as land acquisition. Unowned barren land should still be the first choice."

Annie thought to herself, if the other party really wants to play a game.This is probably just the beginning.

With this level of complexity, it was obvious that the other party had studied Holmes' case for a long time.I am afraid that he has learned a lot about the reasoning mode he is accustomed to.

This is not good news.

Holmes obviously thought of this too. He turned to look at Annie beside him: "If it were you, where would you choose to set the first level?"

Annie looked sideways, and a smile gradually appeared in Holmes' eyes.

She tilted her head slightly, looking left and right on Holmes' unfolded map.

After a while, an area was circled.

"Here." Annie smiled. "If I want to play a game with the famous Mr. Holmes, it will definitely be more exciting continuously."

And the area Annie chose is a place with extremely convenient transportation.

Of course, this kind of convenience does not mean a literal, well-connected network point.

Instead, the behavior of the other party will be considered.

Next to this area, there is a railway.It is transported, and there are not many people.

With a smile in her eyes, Annie looked at Holmes sympathetically: You know, if you can play such a round of intellectual games in normal times, it will be very hearty.

However, if forced to take human life.Annie pouted, forget it!

In the first game, the bet was on John Watson.

The other party obviously wanted to provoke Sherlock, so that he had to play with him step by step!
