The driver was a veteran, and he immediately noticed that Tom seemed a little unconvinced, and snorted, "My brother is the driver of the Minister of Administrative Affairs. He always hears a lot of gossip - ministers and their secretaries
We always like to discuss things in the car as if there is no one around, just like the car is driving automatically. We drivers only need to be a quiet listener to gain countless inside information."
"Administrative Affairs Department?" Harry was a little curious.
"Yes, DAA, Department of Administrative Affairs, a super convoluted name, isn't it? My good brother is driving the newly appointed Minister Huck there. To be honest, I don't think highly of him, if you ask me
This minister's career is only one step away from being over." Seeing that the young man was interested in what he was saying, the driver got interested and started talking.
"DAA is a well-known official graveyard. The previous administrative affairs ministries all resigned in disgrace and bid farewell to their official careers. I think Minister Harker is no exception - he probably offended the Prime Minister and actually treated a newly-minted person.
A newcomer to the official career is thrown into a department like this..."
Along the way, the driver rambled and talked about a lot of things, shaking up the gossip about the new British cabinet. Tom and the three of them listened with interest.
"There are two candidates for the new church bishop. One wants to drive God out of the church, and the other wants to drive the queen out!"
"So in the end they chose the one who wanted to drive the Queen out?" Ron interrupted, feeling like he could follow the topic.
"Of course not! The Queen and the Church are inseparable. As for God, the Prime Minister, the Church and the Cabinet Secretary all agree that He is the so-called 'additional option'"
Tom:……
"The so-called modernists in the church are those who are worthy of being unbelievers."
"Clergy who don't believe in religion? Do atheists also enter the church?" This sentence deeply shocked Harry.
"Atheist? Of course not. Atheists don't get church subsidies, so when they don't believe in God, they call themselves modernists. There is a very famous bishop who built a church in South London with an orange juice supply area.
Family area, demonstration organization area, but there is no place to administer the Holy Communion!" The driver also felt a bit outrageous, "This world is really crazy, isn't it? There is no God in the church, and there are no doctors in the hospital."
Tom, Harry, Ron: I didn't understand but I was shocked. After hearing what the driver said, they couldn't move, as if their virginity had been taken away.
"If some supernatural event really happened, I'm afraid it would be difficult for these people to deal with it." Tom said with some emotion: We still have to look at Da Ying for the whole thing!
"What supernatural events are you talking about? There are none!" Finally, with Tom's efforts, the topic was brought to the recent supernatural events in London. Seeing that Tom was so keen on urban legends, the driver began to educate him.
, "Don't be suspicious! Those so-called supernatural events, without exception, have all been proven to be false in the end. They all have scientific explanations and are all people doing ghosts."
"Isn't it surprising?" The driver laughed loudly, "There is a lot of news and you will never believe the stories told in toilet literature magazines after hearing the inside story."
"For example, there was a so-called 'supernatural' incident on a train before." The driver raised his hands, index and middle fingers together, like a quotation mark, and he crossed his fingers. The taxi trembled suddenly, and Harry and the others
My heart stopped suddenly. Fortunately, the driver immediately put his hands on the steering wheel.
His action just now showed that what he said was irony and nonsense.
"It's said that a man suddenly died on the train and then resurrected, turned into a zombie, biting everywhere, and was finally ignited into a big fireball that didn't stop attacking, causing a carriage to be blown up..."
Tom cheered up. He didn't expect that the driver actually knew about this.
"So what happened next?" he asked eagerly.
"What else?" The driver sneered. "The police searched the backpack of a witness - the man who claimed to have seen the attacker dead but still moving. They found a bag of leaves in his bag.
'", he probably got high and was hallucinating."
"But the explosion in the carriage is a real thing. It was most likely caused by a bunch of lunatics in Ireland, and it was twisted into this through the propaganda of a drug addict."
"Are there any relics left at the scene?" Tom felt that the key to the problem was to find where the man bought the antique gold coins and whether he had anything similar. In this way, he needed to know his identity and his address.
and the merchant from whom you purchased.
"How do I know this?" The driver waved his hand impatiently, "I guess he was taken back to the police station by the police. After all, it involves an explosion..."

It's a worthwhile trip.
Tom and the others have sorted out their clues and have preliminary targets for investigation.
The taxi stopped.
"We're here. The hotels here are all good. You can just choose any one to stay in." The driver waved goodbye to them enthusiastically, then put the big banknotes that Tom gave him into his wallet and left in the dust.
Tom looked at the hotels all over the street and randomly chose one to stay at.
This hotel has a small facade. It looks like an inconspicuous small shop, but there is a sign with four stars on it.
The three of them opened the door and walked in.
The interior of the hotel is unique, the decoration is very elegant, and the pretty lady at the front desk was not dozing off. When the three people came in, she showed a very professional smile.
Tom walked to the solid pine front desk and ordered a triple room. Fortunately, it was not the peak tourist season, and the rooms in the hotel were sufficient. However, identification was required to check in the hotel, and Tom and the three of them could not come up with a legal identity—
—Tom was a black man, and Harry was too young to get a room. Just as Harry was sweating on his head, Tom took out an exquisite doll with long arms and a silver handle from his bag.
"Confuse the audience!" After he fiddled with the handle twice, a light appeared from the front of the doll's arm, hitting the young lady at the front desk, and her eyes became blurred.
"Okay, thank you." She said blankly, and quickly went through the check-in formalities.
Obviously, after getting the front desk, you can check in without proof of identity - now registration is a written record, which is completely different from the electronic system of later generations.
