Before Watson ate,
He had an inexplicable ominous premonition. Because of this,
He had been wary of the other three people at the same table as him.
But after eating Issou's Chinese food, his vigilance unconsciously decreased a lot,
Especially when the table had been calm and peaceful the whole time.
Watson's vigilance, which had already decreased a lot, flew directly to Java.
Until the ominous premonition was fulfilled,
Only then did Watson's vigilance return.
But even so, it was already too late, because — —
The food he snatched from his bowl was snatched by Shylock and the others again and again! Go! Go!
Watson: "..."
It was one thing to arrange a food snatching segment during the meal!
He was going to snatch it anyway!
But! Yes!
What the hell was it to snatch Watson's food!!?
Just when the military doctor, who had his food snatched repeatedly, was so angry that he wanted to hit someone,
Mcauliffe was so angry that he could not maintain the fake but decent expression on his face. He frowned and looked at Shylock, teaching his younger brother as an elder brother.
He said, "Shylock,
Where's your table manners? Don't tell me you've lost them all after coming to New York for a while. "
Although the United Kingdom was also famous for its dark cuisine in addition to the title of English gay,
Even if their country's food was ridiculed out of shape,
Their table manners were also ridiculed out of shape.
After all, the United Kingdom's emphasis on etiquette had reached a world-famous level, and the name of the British gentleman was not for nothing.
As a member of the Holmes family, McAuliffe, who always wore a three-piece suit in the style of an English gentleman, was one of the exceptions.
Even Shylock, whose EQ was as low as the Mariana Trench,
He had also received a good upbringing since he was young.
But now?
Mcauliffe said,
There was not a trace of it on him.
"Of course not."
Shylock gave his brother an extremely fake smile, and then said, "I just want to remind you a little —"
"If you have the time to snatch food with me, you might as well spend some time looking for your lost self-control."
Shylock, who was so lazy that he didn't even bother to waste an expression when he was bored (that is, when there was no case), but in order to investigate a case, he could spend a second on acting. At this moment, in order to mock his brother, he was very vivid, vividly explaining what ridicule and disdain were.
He glanced at Mycoff's hand that was trying to snatch the dish with his usually cold and clear blue-green eyes. His gaze then slid to Mycoff's face, and then he curled his lips in disdain.
As if he was saying — —
You just asked me to review my terrible self-control.
What?
Your self-control is terrible right now, okay?
Mcauliffe: "…"
When he dissed his younger brother's poor self-control, was he as annoying as he was now?
Yes.
After Moriarty, not only did the British government feel humiliated after eating Izzo's Chinese food, but Moriarty, who was obsessed with his younger brother, also felt the same way when he was dissed by his younger brother.
Why is he so annoying?
Shylock: "…???"
So Izu's Chinese food not only had the power to humiliate and destroy one's image, but it also had the effect of making one feel that Sherlock was annoying after eating it?
Back to the topic at hand, perhaps no one would dare to pat their chest and say that they would never do anything that they would regret in their entire life. Even someone as smart as Macoff couldn't guarantee it.
Because there were indeed things that he regretted recently. For example, when he found out that the reason why he lost track of Shylock's whereabouts was because he and Moriarty worked together to keep him in the dark, he regretted it — —
Mcauliffe regretted that he only asked Anthea to activate level three surveillance on Shylock and Watson.
Especially when he came to "My Chinese Restaurant" in New York and saw Shylock and Moriarty, he regretted it even more. He secretly decided that after Shylock was "brought" back to London, he would raise the surveillance level on him to level four.
Just when Mcauliffe thought that this would be the most recent, or perhaps the most regrettable thing in his life (after all, if they really hooked up, the power of Shylock and Moriarty would definitely be 1 + 1 > 2), he realized — —
He was really too stupid and naive.
Mhmm.
Logically speaking, these two adjectives had nothing to do with Mcauliffe Holmes and were more suitable for his younger brother Shylock (for Mcauliffe). However, after eating Issou's Chinese food, the British government didn't mind putting these two adjectives on his head.
When Mcauliffe realized that something was wrong, he didn't think so. But when he completely knelt in front of Issou's Chinese food, he realized the most recent, or even the most regrettable thing in his life — —
It was that he was too proud and arrogant before eating Issou's Chinese food.
So when he ate Issou's Chinese food, not only did the face-slapping background music play, but his younger brother also personally slapped him in the face.
Now Mcauliffe no longer regretted that he didn't ask Anthea to raise the surveillance level on Shylock and Watson to level four. Because if it really was raised to level four, then Shylock and Watson wouldn't have chased Moriarty to New York, and he wouldn't have gone to New York for Shylock.
If that was the case, Mcauliffe thought that he might miss out on "my Chinese restaurant" and Issou's Chinese food. He might not even have a chance to meet them for the rest of his life.
Just thinking about it made his heart ache so much that he couldn't breathe.
What?
Was Mcauliffe not worried that the power of Shylock and Moriarty would be 1 + 1 > 2?
…
…
…
Leave it to the British government to worry about.
Mcauliffe, who was about to resign and become the new president of the US government, thought to himself that both of them were British anyway.
England: "…???"
Shylock: "…???"
Moriarty: "…???"
Don't make it sound like you're not British, okay?
Mcauliffe smiled slightly —
He wasn't British.
England: "…!!!???"
Then again, even though Mcauliffe regretted that he was slapped in the face because of his careless judgment, this didn't mean that he would take the opportunity to be dissed by his younger brother.
He said to the detective, "Shylock, your mockery is meaningless, because mocking me now is the same as mocking you when you first came to 'my Chinese restaurant' and ate Issou's Chinese food."
Shylock had an amazing "superpower", which was the ability to see through everything in the world at a glance, but Mcauliffe's "superpower" was above his —
This was something that Sherlock had admitted.
In private, he once said that if a detective's job was to sit in an armchair and reason, then Mcauliffe would be an unparalleled detective because his observational skills were even more acute than Shylock's.
It was precisely because of this reason that Mcauliffe was so certain that Shylock was the one who slapped him in the face.
Shylock: "…"
He now understood Moriarty, who he scolded back then.
Shylock, who was crushed by his brother's IQ since he was a child and thought he was an idiot before he saw other children (Mcauliffe: "… we both thought you were an idiot back then), hated his brother's cleverness so much for the first time!
"Of course it's meaningful."
Moriarty, who was standing on Shylock's side, said to Mcauliffe, "Think about it, Shylock was only mocked by me back then, but now you're being mocked by both Shylock and me. In terms of numbers, you're being mocked more miserably."
What?
You're asking Moriarty why he didn't include Watson? After all, whether it was back then or now, he was also one of them eating at the same table?
…
…
…
It was normal.
Because among the four people at the same table, Watson, who had the cutest IQ, was the only one who wasn't slapped in the face by himself and Issou.
Shylock, I'm Smart, Got Slapped in the Face, Holmes: "…"
James, As Smart As Upstairs, Got Slapped in the Face, Moriarty: "…"
Mcauliffe, I'm Smarter Than Upstairs and Upstairs, Got Slapped in the Face, Holmes: "…"
Moriarty hated their high IQ. They couldn't personally experience what it meant to be a fool's errand.
John, I'm Smart As Cute, Only Didn't Get Slapped in the Face, Watson: "…???"
Their envy was so sincere.
But why did he feel like something wasn't quite right?
"It seems that Professor Moriarty's recent life in New York has made you and your younger brother much closer."
Moriarty, who replaced Shylock on the stage, smirked and said, "But sorry, we're now discussing the table manners that a Holmes should have."
So why don't you take a Moriarty and stay where you are?
"Sure."
Moriarty, who could hear Mcauliffe's tone, wasn't angry. He didn't even mind at all. Then again, as Moriarty, he really didn't want to intervene in Holmes's affairs, okay?
But! Yes!
"As long as you put down the plain stuffing in your hand, I promise not to interrupt your discussion with Shylock about the table manners that a Holmes should have."
"I don't think so."
Mcauliffe shook his head and rejected Moriarty's "suggestion." He said, "After all, this plain stuffing is evidence that Shylock has lost his table manners."
"So …"
Moriarty raised his eyebrows and looked at Mcauliffe. He asked, "You're not going to let go, are you?"
When Mcauliffe heard this, he glanced at Moriarty's hand, who was gripping the plate just like him. He gave him a fake smile and said, "Same here."
"I remember you just said that your younger brother Shylock is living so comfortably because of me, right?"
Moriarty discreetly pulled the hand holding the plate toward him. "So, Mr. Holmes, is this how you treat me, the one you have just credited with a meritorious deed?"
"I thought my gratitude was enough?"
Although Mcauliffe was often mocked by Shylock for not liking to move and eating desserts, as a man who didn't like to move and eat desserts, he wasn't really defenseless.
The plate that Moriarty had pulled away from him was pulled back. "After all, Professor Moriarty, you just said that you don't mind taking care of my child for a few days for the sake of my dedication to the United Kingdom."
Moriarty said, "Sorry, I'm just saying."
Mcauliffe said, "I'm also sorry, I'm listening carefully."
"Shut up. People who are three kilograms heavier and have a small belly are not qualified to join the fight for food."
Shylock once again dissed Moriarty and Mcauliffe at the same time. His blue-green eyes glanced at the two men with exposed foreheads, and then he opened his mouth and said viciously, "Do you want to have a weight crisis after a hairline crisis?"
What?
Shylock, who was also British and had also put on weight, dared to diss Mcauliffe and Moriarty like that?
...
...
...
There's nothing to be afraid of!
Have a thick hair! Secret! Little Curly Hair, and only 2.5 kilograms heavier! Kg！ Shylock said that he was fearless!
Mcauliffe, who didn't have as much hair as Shylock, "..."
Moriarty, who was 0.5 kilograms fatter than Shylock, "..."
Suddenly, he didn't want to play with him at all!
Therefore, Moriarty and Mcauliffe, who had been dissed by Shylock at the same time, pretended not to hear the detective's vicious words and continued their conversation.
Shylock, who was ignored by the two of them, "...???"
"Mr. Holmes, you don't seem to be too concerned about the safety of British citizens?"
Moriarty had a gentle smile on his face, but the words that came out of his mouth were a real threat. He said, "Do you know about the crime of passion?"
"Let me reiterate that I am just a small civil servant in the British government. I think the safety of British citizens should be handled by the British government."
As a member of the British government who had a strong sense of responsibility and self-control toward his family and society, how could Mcauliffe not be concerned about the safety of British citizens?
Of course not.
After all, when the plane went out of control, his first thought was to cause more casualties if the plane crashed in the city.
However, Mcauliffe's sense of responsibility toward society did not mean that he would be flustered because of this. He was certain that regardless of whether he was fighting with Moriarty for food now, it would not hinder his desire to cause a bombing in the future.
Therefore, in the face of Moriarty's threat, Mcauliffe appeared to be calm. He opened his mouth and threatened back. "And even if Miss Issou is not a British citizen with British citizenship, she is of British descent. After knowing that British citizens have encountered some man-made disasters, I think her feelings toward the culprit must be similar to the feelings of the victims."
Moriarty, "..."
Wow.
Threatening me with Issou's Sweethearts?
Okay.
You win.
Moriarty was about to change his position, but he felt that the plate in his hand seemed to be tilted.
Mcauliffe, "..."
Shylock, "..."
Not seemingly.
It was really tilted.
Originally, this plate was held by Mcauliffe, Moriarty, and Shylock, forming a tripartite situation, but now the plate was tilted in one direction, and then...
There were still a few fresh mushrooms, broccoli, and fresh bamboo shoots left on the plate! Damn! !
Shylock, "...???"
Mcauliffe, "...???"
Moriarty, "...???"
The three of them looked at each other. Then! Then!
They all looked at Watson, who poured all the food on the plate into his bowl, and said sternly, "John, put down the food in your hand!"
Watson, who ate the fresh mushrooms in one bite, "... Crunch crunch crunch..."
Shylock, "John, you're taking advantage of him!"
Watson, who ate the broccoli in one bite, "... Crunch crunch crunch crunch..."
Moriarty, "John, people who cheat don't have a good ending."
Watson, who ate the fresh bamboo shoots in one bite, "... Crunch crunch crunch crunch..."
Mcauliffe, "..."
Shylock, "..."
Moriarty, "..."
Hey.
Isn't he being too arrogant?!
Hua Sheng wiped his mouth and glanced at the three high-IQ people at the same table who used practical actions to illustrate what "three monks have no water to drink" meant. He then said, "I've said it before —"
"I came back from Afghanistan alive!!!"
#
After the sumptuous and delicious lunch, the British government didn't spend too much time in "My Chinese Restaurant". Of course, it was also because "My Chinese Restaurant" was such a public place that it wasn't appropriate to stay for a long time to have a social conversation after dinner.
However, before leaving "My Chinese Restaurant", Mcauliffe still chose to say goodbye to Chef Issou, who cooked for them.
Yeah.
As for whether Mcauliffe's purpose was to say hello or to ask Issou if he was interested in moving "My Chinese Restaurant" to London, England, only he knew.
But it didn't matter. Anyway, Issou's answer to Mcauliffe's question was the same as his answer to Bruce —
"Sorry, I don't have that intention for the time being."
"That's a shame."
Although Issou's answer wasn't what Mcauliffe wanted, he wasn't too disappointed because when he asked this question, he was just trying. After all, he already knew the answer from the black-haired girl's attitude.
So …
Issou didn't plan to open "My Chinese Restaurant" in London, so does that mean he has to start preparing to change from the British government to the American government?
Izu didn't know what Macoff was thinking. She smiled at him and was about to say something when Sherlock said, "Don't feel bad, Macoff. When you're not around, I'll eat your portion." Macoff nodded and said, "Don't feel bad, Macoff. When you're not around, I'll eat your portion."
After saying that, he grinned at his brother, showing his eight teeth. "Do you need me to send you an after-taste report?"
"Shylock, do you know that your words will make me regret agreeing to let you stay in New York?"
Mcauliffe felt that the next time he visited "My Chinese Restaurant", he would never sit at the same table as Shylock again. Eating at the same table wasn't a big deal, but the sage hour after the meal …
God knew why he had agreed to let Sherlock stay in New York at that time.
"I know."
Shylock nodded and then said, "But I also know that if you insist on taking me back to London, then I think you'll regret not letting me stay in New York."
For Mcauliffe, the most troublesome thing was not his younger brother's high IQ, nor was it his younger brother's high IQ, but his younger brother —
Was a high IQ, high IQ, and high IQ anti-social brat!
After eating Issou's Chinese food, Mcauliffe had no doubt that if he forcefully took Shylock back to London, he would resist.
But …
"How long does it take you to deal with a goldfish?"
Mcauliffe looked at his stupid younger brother. "Let me remind you, Shylock, you don't want to go against me. I only agreed to let you stay in New York because your disappointment will make me sad."
After that, Mcauliffe, who came to "My Chinese Restaurant" from London and never stopped criticizing his younger brother Shylock, turned to look at Watson and said to him, "Take good care of him, John, please."
"Uh."
Watson shrugged at Mcauliffe and said, "Of course, don't worry."
But after that, the military doctor added, "But except when it's time to eat."
When that time comes, don't expect me to take care of him.
Hearing Watson's words, Mcauliffe smiled and then looked at Issou. He said, "Since Shylock is easy to feed, then I'll leave it to you, Miss Issou."
Issou, "…"
Uh.
That …
She opened a Chinese restaurant, not a nursery.
So don't give me the brat, okay?
The black-haired girl thought so, but the words that came out of her mouth were —
