Sherlock was right, of course, but interrogation was never his strong point. Or perhaps Mycroft was too used to this sort of thing.
"I - like you - have not lived these events yet. I - like you - do not hasten to draw conclusions based on what someone tells me. If you want to know what John has said, ask John, and draw your own conclusions, if you wish."
The fact of the matter was that - as he didn't believe Sherlock would ever commit suicide - John had not seen the whole truth. He saw some of it and drew his conclusions. Mycroft would not make the same mistake.
