[BBCSherlock-Xover] Circus Spy

Chapter 19 Extra Story Courteous-07

7.

Eric Lanshere and other bigwigs came out of the stone room. Anthea was anxiously looking forward to Mycroft, but he and the boss did not show up for a long time.

"You can go in and take a look if you are in a hurry." Eric teased Anthea. It was the first time he saw Mycroft, a capable female assistant, so anxious.

Anthea still didn't dare.She wasn't sure if she could listen to what the boss was talking to her boss alone, and if Eric really had the best of intentions in making the suggestion.

"Anthea. Come in." Thank goodness her boss finally called her.Stepping on her high heels, she handed the phone to Mycroft, frowning at him.Mycroft glanced lightly at the text message from Jeremy that the detective's location was unknown, and there was no flaw in his expression.

"St. Catherine's Dockyard, Joseph." Anthea was surprised how Mycroft knew, but then she realized her boss wasn't talking about the Inspector at all.She saw Joseph's magnified face projected on a large screen, and there were several faces beside her, some of whom Anthea knew—spy chiefs from Ukraine and the former Soviet Union.

To Anthea's relief, though, she found the ring on her boss' ring finger back.

She has witnessed the deep affection of the inspector for the boss, and she also knows about the boss and his little lovers, but all along, the inspector has always responded with tolerance and indulgence, and she feels that it is nothing, because after all, it was the two of them locked up As far as the door is concerned, both of them can accept an open relationship and marriage, so what's the matter with outsiders?But she also knew that her boss would never be as possessive and controlling towards other people as he was towards the Inspector.But the appearance of Joseph made Anthea disappointed with her boss for a while, and then made her do something beyond the limit, that is, to send the text message to the inspector that "the boss is too much".

Fortunately, the inspector didn't care about these after all.

Now, that ring is back, and she also knows that no matter what, the detective is the boss's only true love.

"If you can't catch them all, then kill them one by one. Our plan must not be leaked." The boss got up.

"Yes." Mycroft nodded.Of course he knew that their secrets must not be revealed, and they had to make sure that Mikhail Fradkov became Prime Minister of Russia.

"Do you know? It's really not easy to disgrace Mycroft, and you are really tolerant. He has treated you like that, and there is no negative news that damages your marriage. Lestrade was hung among those animal organs, his posture was very similar to that of the burning corpse that smelled of smoke and tar.But Joseph repeatedly assured that he would not be treated like that.

Joseph brushed Lestrade's cheek with the back of his hand.

"What exactly is Mycroft hindering you?" Lestrade certainly didn't believe that this was just an emotional dispute.

"all."

Lestrade rolled his eyes.

"You have dominated him for so many years, and now you have dumped him, but he won't even throw away the ring. What's wrong with you?"

Lestrade was surprised that he could still laugh at this moment, but he really wanted to laugh, just like when he was showing Mycroft that night, he said: "You are really not suitable to be a spy. It doesn't matter whether the ring is thrown or not, the important token between them has never been the two rings that have been changed many times.

The crazy smile from before appeared on Joseph's face again, he withdrew his hand, and took a step back, "I am obsessed with your Jack the Ripper, and you are now my last pilgrimage sacrifice."

"The last one?" Lestrade couldn't help worrying about himself when he saw that he had become that crazy state again, and asked in order to delay the time.

"Yes, no more, no less, you are the fifth." Seeing Lestrade's puzzled face, Joseph smiled complacently, "Since you are going to die, I would like to explain it to you, you always think that Only three bodies? Do you remember that you had a report on the headless woman retracted by Mycroft?"

Lestrade looked up suddenly.

"So, that kind of imperfect test product..." Joseph tilted his head and pointed at the burning corpse, and smiled regretfully, "Of course it's not for you. You deserve a perfect replica death method. "

This pervert, Lestrade tried to struggle, but only the toes of his feet could lightly touch the ground, and his hands were tied to his head, preventing him from exerting force.

"However, the pioneers a hundred years ago only attacked prostitutes. Tsk, maybe I shouldn't break this rule."

Lestrade hadn't ignored the plural part of Joseph's words, and of course Joseph was clearly not the six-foot-nine red-haired tall white man Sherlock had deduced.At this time, two guys who resembled Mycroft approached Lestrade from both sides.

"I should probably turn you into a whore first and then kill you."

It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid, but what Lestrade is most concerned about at the moment is how to apprehend these three suspects. Obviously, Joseph will use other methods to kill more people after executing Jack the Ripper's killing method. , he must stop them.

When one of the tall men came over and bent over to take off his pants, Lestrade pulled his body up with both arms, and then his right knee hit the man's abdomen. The man's abdomen was injured and he stepped back. The upper body is also bent over.Taking this opportunity, Lestrade lifted his legs apart, clamped the man's neck, brought the man over, sat on his shoulders and swayed from side to side. After sitting high, his hands could also hold the rope tightly, and carried the man with him. The one whose neck was clamped by him dodged the attack of another tall man who recovered from his nerves.

Joseph also came back to his senses at this time, took out his pistol, and shot at Lestrade's wrist, because no matter how much Lestrade evaded, it would always center on the bound wrist, and Lestrade De's wrist was injured, and his legs loosened his strength, but in less than a second, he didn't know where the strength came from, and he twisted the neck of the person under him with a wrong leg.After the man fell, Lestrade fell with him. Before his feet touched the ground, the injured wrist was tightened by the rope, causing a piercing pain, which took away the last point in his body that helped him resist fear. of adrenaline.

Blood trickled down his arm, dripping on Lestrade's hair mixed with a few silver strands. Lestrade exhausted his strength, lowered his head and gasped for breath, estimating how much strength he still had. To control the resistance action, and how long will it take for his wrist to be completely abolished.

"What an annoying creature." Joseph was angry that he had to wound Lestrade, a gunshot wound that would have ruined the beauty of the corpse.

"Actually, there is no other way. I can kill another person. Then I can kill you in other ways."

Joseph motioned for the remaining tall men to put Lestrade down.

**

When the people of the Circus rushed in in full armor, they saw only a man in a trench coat standing in front of the burning corpse with his back to them.

"Hands up, turn around slowly."

Sherlock raised his hands, turned around slowly, and fixedly looked at the conductor who came slowly behind the Circus agents.

"Sherlock?"

Mycroft took off the headset, motioned his men to put down their guns, each went to find clues, and came to Sherlock by himself.

"Why are you here?" Both of them said at the same time.

Needless to say, the two each figured out everything, and stared at each other with unkind faces.

"Do you know that he has no backup because you dismissed his position?"

"Then why is he not staying at home at night?"

Compared with poking people's pain, the two brothers are on par.

Sherlock turned his eyes away first, and looked at the pool of blood under his feet and the tall red-haired man's body, "It seems that he has completely angered your little undercover agent and made him disregard the rules."

"They can't go far, call me all the surveillance videos nearby." Mycroft ordered Anthea, but they all knew that the pier had been abandoned for a long time. It was very desolate and there were few cameras. For professional spies, It's easy enough to avoid the only ones.

Three hours later, Fang Yuan's blanket investigation had results, and Lestrade had been sent to the Royal London Hospital.

"He ruptured a tendon in his left hand, which freed him from the ropes, and he killed the other killer, but Joseph escaped. He still had a few gunshot wounds and was unconscious from blood loss, but not fatally. Anthea whispered to Mycroft.

Mycroft walked quickly in the corridor of the hospital. The operation was not over yet. Sherlock motioned him to come out and smoke a cigarette together. Anthea stood guard at the door of the operating room, staring closely at the red light that was on.

Anthea knew that Mycroft was still afraid in his heart. He pretended to be calm and calm on the surface, but he was still very worried about the inspector in his heart. Otherwise, why would he not even be in the mood to argue with Sherlock.

Anthea looked at the two brothers standing on the balcony from a distance. Their tall and straight backs were very similar. She didn't know what Mycroft and Sherlock were talking about at this time. Maybe it was about life, about life and death, maybe about the detective, About the family, or the country.

Suddenly, Anthea received a text message.

"Boss, Joseph caught it."

Mycroft threw the unburned cigarette on the ground, then stamped it out, glanced at Sherlock and the still-on operating light, "Start cleaning." Then he left the hospital with Anthea.

"Due to the institutional reforms of the House of Lords, many government departments in Whitehall are facing a crisis, which led to protests. About 300 people gathered near the Houses of Parliament to protest. Last night, the protests turned violent. More than 100 "youths" burned police cars in the dark , buses and buildings along the street, cutting off traffic, occupying the highway, looting dozens of shops..."

Sergeant Donovan turned off the TV for Lestrade, the news had been played on loop several times, and now everyone in London was on the mend, including Scotland Yard.

Only Lestrade, dismissed and injured, could steal a few days of leisure.

"Do you eat fruit?" Donovan picked up the apples in the fruit basket by the window and turned to Lestrade.

Lestrade shook his head in pain, "Why does everyone who comes to see me peel an apple for me, I almost vomit."

"Okay, okay." Donovan put the apple back.

It happened that Lestrade's cell phone rang at this time, and Lestrade couldn't hold it easily, so Donovan helped him take it.

"Congratulations. SH"

Lestrade flattened his mouth and quickly replied with his intact right hand, "Why do you like it? GL"

"I'll find out later. SH"

Before Lestrade could reply, a flood of text messages flooded in.

Even Donovan's cell phone was not spared.

"What?" Donovan screamed first. "The Minister of the Home Office was involved in a political scandal and the downfall, involving the Metropolitan Police... God, we should call you Commissioner Lestrade from now on."

The purge and reform of the House of Lords this time involves many government agencies, not only the high-level changes in Scotland Yard, but also the Royal Prosecutor's Office and the courts.

The change, sparked by a small Russian double-agent scandal, has been planned for a long time.

In March of the same year, in the Russian general election, Putin won an overwhelming victory with 3% of the votes and was re-elected president.Hayir Fradkov nominated by Putin as Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.
