[Comprehensive] Baker Street Survival Guide

Sherlock and Joanna left together, leaving Watson and Mycroft waiting in the hall.Given that Watson had so little to say to Mycroft, the situation was somewhat difficult.

"Hmm..." Talking about the weather didn't seem like a very good decision, Watson clicked his tongue secretly, he couldn't imagine how Joanna fell in love with Mycroft.

Mycroft seemed more transparent about this than Watson thought.He raised the black umbrella slightly, nodded to the ground, and told Watson considerately: "If you have nothing to say, you can keep silent."

Just a word, Watson closed his eyes - he heard Sherlock's tone of voice from Mycroft's words.It can be said...the two of them deserve to be brothers?

After a brief interlude, Joanna and Sherlock walked back from the corridor they left in tandem.There was no way to see any clues from the two people from the facial expressions, and Mycroft didn't say much. Now that Joanna and Sherlock have finished communicating, they can almost leave.

Watson shrugged, and he didn't think too much about it.It's useless to ask what Sherlock doesn't want to say.He didn't think that anything would happen between Sherlock and Joanna. If there was, it would be Mycroft who was in a hurry.The only thing Watson hopes is that Sherlock will not step on Joanna's pain again and again.

The car at the door is already waiting.The two arrived at the cinema in different cars, but at this time there were two cars to pick them up.Joanna stood still in front of Mycroft's car door.

"I drove here by myself, so I'm going to drive the car back."

The newly bought car, in terms of color choice, Joanna was tired of Mycroft's routine black, and chose a dazzling red instead.How should I put it... After I actually bought it, I felt a little bit blind.

"I haven't seen you driving." Joanna has a driver's license, but among all the videos Mycroft has seen, there is no record of Joanna driving herself.There are still many fresh details that have not been developed between them. "I can ask the driver to drive back. I don't think you would mind giving me a ride..."

Mycroft's words had come to an end, and Joanna realized that she seemed to have no reason to rebut.

"Do you dare to ride in my car? Well... let me explain in advance, my driving skills are definitely not as good as your driver."

The answer to Joanna was a knowing smile - from Mycroft's driver.

After waiting on the spot for 5 minutes, a red-painted sports car parked in front of Mycroft. The cool color and the outline of the vehicle almost became a bright color in front of the cinema.

Coupled with the fact that London was all gray in the heavy rain, and the sky and the earth suddenly turned red. Joanna changed from a pretty girl to the focus of the crowd in a blink of an eye.

Joanna got out of the car and put away the black umbrella Mycroft had given her.This standard accessory other than the three-piece suit is outstanding in rainy days.

Going to the eaves, Joanna handed out the umbrella a little bit, and walked under the same umbrella with Mycroft.

After the movie ended, most of the people who were stranded at the entrance of the movie theater due to the heavy rain were secretly guessing what happened.A young girl in expensive clothes drives a sports car, holds an umbrella for a waiting man, and then the two get into the car together... No matter what people think, Joanna is caught by a few people. Talk about getting a little dark cool.

Mycroft didn't let out a long breath until he closed the car door, and teased Joanna who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Very good taste... I'm just curious, what is your reason for choosing Did you choose such a vehicle?"

Joanna felt a little guilty when asked. ——The truth of the matter is that this car is a global limited edition that she ordered three months ago. At that time, the relationship between her and Mycroft was not as good as it is now... breaking through the limit.In short, Joanna at the time never thought that Mycroft would get in her car one day.

The reason for buying the car is of course also related to Mycroft.Joanna's sinister hope was that someday the red sports car would roar past Mycroft's little black car, leaving his car far behind.By the way, you can also imagine that after arriving at the destination, Joanna walked out of the car gracefully...

In short, buying a car is just a thought.

Joanna gritted her teeth: "I'm after an effect that stands out from the crowd." After she said that, Mycroft stopped laughing at her.

The two people who are very familiar with the road conditions in London still turned on the navigation and drove honestly at the prescribed speed.

Joanna glanced sideways at Mycroft as she was driving on the straight lane.He was still resting with his eyes closed, but it was rare that he wasn't devoted to his work.

There's no music playing in the car, but Joanna's car perfume has this light, woodsy scent.The wipers back and forth regularly, pushing the pouring rainwater to the sides of the windows. The interior of the car seems to be a world isolated from the outside world. If the warm light from the headlights is included, this is really a quiet period. It's time.

Joanna took a look at the road conditions, and in order to take care of Mycroft's rest time, she drove the car a little slower.There are passing vehicles passing by their side, one can imagine what kind of views those drivers have on such a slow sports car.But at this time, Joanna knew that those were not important.

After another turn, the container truck in front blocked most of the light, and Joanna frowned slightly—her speed was almost the slowest, but the car in front of her was even slower than her speed.

Halfway through the journey, I have been out of the city center for a while.Joanna knew the daily road conditions on this road, but the road conditions at this time were a bit abnormal.Her heart tightened slightly, and a car slowly caught up in the rearview mirror.

"accelerator!"

Without Mycroft's words, Joanna stepped on the gas pedal decisively, almost at the same time as her reaction.It is the lane change of the vehicle in front and the acceleration of the vehicle behind.

Joanna's left half of the car's wheels were all on the pavement, and the car moved forward at a tricky angle, leaving a series of tiny sparks from the friction between the paint and the container.When the container vehicle was about to overtake, the other driver poked his head out of the driver's seat and fired two shots at Joanna.

"Bulletproof glass." Joanna reminded first.

The current situation is not the worst - the man sitting next to her is not panicked by ordinary people.Mycroft nodded, and said concisely: "I know."

Joanna turned the steering wheel and put the car back on the road.The small car that collided in the rearview mirror collided with the container truck, and the hovering one got stuck on the road, billowing thick smoke.

"The crisis is resolved." Joanna didn't slow down any more. In order to prevent accidents, she drove the sports car at the fastest speed for the next 5 minutes.

"I hope your car has authorization, otherwise you may have to pay a large fine."

"Does the patient's family count?"

"...you won't be fined." Mycroft replied very quickly.

With the speed of the car doubled, it didn't take long for Mycroft's residence to appear faintly in the rain and fog.

"Do you want to contact Cynthia to deal with this matter, or should we find all the information directly?" Joanna got out of the car, and they walked into the room under the same umbrella.

Before Joanna could get those answers, Mycroft asked her a question: "What were you thinking when you hit the gas pedal?"

Joanna froze for a moment, her hand holding the phone stopped. "Although my driving skills are not on your report, I think you should have more confidence in me. My driving skills are very trustworthy."

"We can settle things as soon as possible, if this is your expectation." Mycroft's tone was calm, but Joanna didn't want to meet his eyes.

What was she thinking at the moment of driving?

— Mycroft shouldn't have died in a car accident.Neither should she.What happened today was outside of Joanna's plan, and things outside of the plan should not have happened.

Soon, Joanna's cell phone rang. Mycroft sent a video from a gas station. In the video, the driver of the container truck was talking to a man wearing a peaked cap. Compared with the reference, it is not difficult to see , his height is more than 1.8 meters five, and his figure is thin. Judging from his walking gait, he has obviously received professional training.

"—It's Moran." Joanna gave a name.

In this way, what they can deal with now is only the two minions who directly caused the car accident. After all, it is not something that can be done in a short time to catch Moran.

Mycroft had already connected the events before and after, and there were many questions that did not need to be asked.Joanna's reaction has already explained a lot of problems. The matter of the assassin is over, and Mr. Hilde is as safe as Joanna thought, but Joanna's deadlock is far from being solved. What she can hide , is a future that she has completely given up, and in that future, there is him.

Several times, Joanna almost thought Mycroft was going to confront her directly.

But at the end of the conversation, when they were sitting in the living room like newcomers, sorting out relevant reports and clues together, Mycroft looked at Joanna who was lowering her head and writing notes on the writing board, and he looked at her profile , suddenly sent out an invitation: "I still remember you said a long time ago——hope to learn about the memory palace."

He gave Joanna the right to choose.
