As a high-end private cemetery, Flower Cemetery directly covers a hilltop of more than 20 meters high on the outskirts of Manchester. It looks quite tall.
As for the security measures of the Flower Cemetery, it is quite worthy of its high price. The surrounding iron fences are about three meters long, and surveillance cameras are installed every five meters or so.
This was considered extremely tight security in England in 2000.
"There are at least thirty security guards on duty at the Flower Cemetery every day, twenty of whom are on the day shift and ten on the night shift. These security guards will patrol the Flower Cemetery 24 hours a day, so the Flower Cemetery is one of the most popular places in recent years.
Welcome to the high-end private cemetery, and currently 90% of the cemetery plots in the Flower Cemetery have been sold.”
"Because the Flower Cemetery is a private property, and the owner of the Flower Cemetery is very powerful in the country, our police have never been able to enter the Flower Cemetery for surveillance, and the worst location in the Flower Cemetery needs to be purchased for 100,000 pounds.
So it is impossible for our police to spend so much money to buy a qualification to appear, so now we can only stay outside the Flower Cemetery." Wesker introduced the situation of the Flower Cemetery to Liu Xing and others.
Leon frowned and said with some surprise: "Why is the price of Flower Cemetery so expensive? One hundred thousand pounds can buy a pretty good house in London. If you change it to the surrounding areas of Manchester, it would be too expensive to buy a manor."
It won’t be a problem.”
Liu Xing nodded. This one hundred thousand pounds was indeed a lot of money in 2000, not to mention that it was just to buy a cemetery.
Wesker shrugged and said with a smile: "This is the world of the rich. Although this hundred thousand pounds seems to be a lot, for those wealthy people it is just water, and the conditions given by the Flower Cemetery
It is indeed quite good. Take this cemetery worth 100,000 pounds as an example. In addition to having the best security system in the country, the cemetery also covers an area of 20 square meters, and each cemetery is
That semi-enclosed structure forms an effective separation from the surrounding cemeteries. You must know that the cemetery in ordinary cemeteries is only one or two square meters, and there is no separation."
"Then there is the environment in the Flower Cemetery. You must know that the Classic Literature and Art Company responsible for designing the Flower Cemetery ranks first among design companies in Europe. So if you put aside the essence of the Flower Cemetery and ignore those cemeteries, you will feel like you are
It is located in a beautiful forest park, and the Flower Cemetery also employs a professional symphony band, which performs three performances in the morning, noon and evening every day. Each performance lasts about an hour, and also when the deceased is buried.
Live performances will be performed at the request of the family members, so the quality of Flower Cemetery is unmatched by other cemeteries."
As soon as Wesker finished speaking, Liu Xing and others heard the sweet music coming from the Flower Cemetery.
Liu Xing touched his chin and said: "It seems that the owner of the Flower Cemetery is quite knowledgeable about marketing methods. This operation has at least made the price of the cemetery at the Flower Cemetery falsely higher by more than ten times."
"There is no way, rich people just do this. I still remember a farm that listened to Mozart and Beethoven's music to its cows every day, and then claimed that the quality of its milk was much higher than that of other farms.
In the end, the milk from this farm is more than twice as expensive as the milk from other nearby farms." Jill complained.
Liu Xing chuckled, looked at the gate of the Flower Cemetery and said: "Speaking of which, Captain, can we use other identities to sneak into the Flower Cemetery, such as cleaners, violinists, etc. After all, such a big Flower Cemetery will definitely need
There must be a large number of cleaners cleaning every day, and there must be a professional symphony orchestra with a large number of people.”
"Bingo, Chris, you guessed it right." Wesker said seriously: "Director House and Ms. Margaret, the leader of the symphony orchestra currently employed by Flower Cemetery, have been good friends since childhood, so
Ms. Margaret has agreed to help us sneak into the Flower Cemetery, so Director House decided to let Chris and you three newcomers take on this important task, disguised as members of the symphony orchestra and enter the Flower Cemetery to conduct inspections. After all, an old face like mine has been
The security guards at the Flower Cemetery look familiar."
Liu Xing frowned and said with some embarrassment: "Captain, you have to know that my musical ability is almost zero. It can be said that I can't play any other instrument except the triangle since I was a child. When the time comes,
But it’s easy for things to go wrong.”
"Yes, although my parents arranged for me to learn piano when I was a child, I have almost forgotten it now." Gil said, rubbing the back of his head.
Leon on the side raised his head and chest, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is time to show real skills, because I have a cousin who studies music, so when I was a child, I often studied violin with my cousin. Now I feel that I
My violin skills should be pretty good."
Wesker shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that Leon, you have no room to express yourself this time, because although Leon you are pretending to be members of the symphony orchestra this time, you don't need real performance instruments. After all,
What you got was just a musical instrument model."
Liu Xing raised his brows and said, "My partner, do you mean that we are just responsible for making up the numbers?"
Wesker nodded, took out a drawing and said: "That's right, you just need to follow the other members of the symphony band to show off. According to the information provided by Ms. Margaret, the symphony band will perform in the morning and at noon.
After the performance, there will be about an hour of dining and free time. After that, the symphony band needs to be on standby in the special lounge provided by the Flower Cemetery, because there may be new deceased people who need the symphony band to perform when they are buried.
Finally, after the last performance at six o'clock in the evening, the symphony orchestra will leave the Flower Cemetery after dinner."
"So Chris, you only have about two hours of free time in the Flower Cemetery every day, so you need to take advantage of this time to go to the graves of Dio's parents to check the situation and determine whether Dio has come to pay homage.
The drawing I have is the topographic map of the Flower Cemetery. The red dots on it are the location of the graves of Dior's parents. You must remember them clearly. If you really meet Dior, do not confront Dior.
Conflict, because you definitely can’t beat him, so what you need to do at this time is to call me.”
When Wesker said it to the end, his eyes were fixed on Liu Xing. After all, the one who was most likely to confront Dior head-on was "Chris".
Liu Xing naturally understood what Wesker meant, so he nodded and said: "No problem, captain, although I really want to kill Dio with my own hands now, I still have self-knowledge and know that I will definitely not be able to defeat Dio, so I won't
Just go and die like this."
Wesker nodded and said: "That's good. Now let's go back to Manchester to find a hotel to stay. After all, there are still a few days until Dior's mother's memorial day. It shouldn't be possible for him to come to the Flower Cemetery today to pay his respects.
It was dedicated to his mother, and it is impossible for us to enter the Flower Cemetery today."
As he spoke, Wesker started the car and prepared to drive back to Manchester city. After all, the area near the Flower Cemetery was still a bit desolate. There were no buildings except the Flower Cemetery.
But at this moment, Liu Xing suddenly saw a familiar car parked at the entrance of Flower Cemetery.
Then, Liu Xing saw an old acquaintance get out of the car and walk straight into the Flower Cemetery. The security guard at the entrance of the Flower Cemetery treated him with great respect.
This person is Gary!
Liu Xing frowned. He didn't expect that Gary would be related to the Flower Cemetery. And judging from the performance of these security guards, Gary probably had a certain status in the Flower Cemetery.
At this time, Wesker also noticed Gary and said: "This man's name is Gary. He is an old nobleman who has declined somewhat. However, he owns an old castle in the small town of Ains not far from here, so it can also be regarded as Manchester City."
He is a well-known figure in the area, but what we can confirm is that he does not work at the Flower Cemetery, but because he has a very good relationship with the owner of the Flower Cemetery, Gary often visits the Flower Cemetery."
"Walking around in the Flower Cemetery? It seems that this nobleman has some strange habits." Leon said with a smile.
Liu Xing frowned, shook his head and said: "In that case, I think this Gary may be a ghoul like Dio. After all, the most indispensable thing in the Flower Cemetery is corpses."
"No, no, no, Chris, you guessed it wrong. Although at the beginning we also felt that there was something wrong with this Gary, thinking that he might also be an inhuman creature, but he goes to Manchester Hospital for a physical examination every year, and according to
Judging from his physical examination report, he is no different from ordinary people, so our current conclusion is the same as that of Lyon, and we think that the reason why Gary often hangs out at the Flower Cemetery may just be because he likes the atmosphere of the cemetery."
Liu Xing nodded, but in his heart he marked the Flower Cemetery as a dangerous zone, because Liu Xing was sure that Gary did not come to the Flower Cemetery to hang out, but to meet with ghouls or members of the Corpse Cult.
Therefore, Flower Cemetery is either the territory of ghouls or the gathering place of the Ghoul Cult.
Now Liu Xing is more inclined to the former, that's because after more than ten years, the Corpse Cult did not choose Flower Cemetery as their stronghold, but chose to station in the farther Ains Castle.
If this is the case, maybe Dior has been hiding in the Flower Cemetery after the police discovered his true identity. Therefore, the police stationed outside the Flower Cemetery never discovered how Dior paid homage to his parents.
But the most important question now is, how many ghouls are hiding in the Flower Cemetery?
"By the way, Captain, you haven't told us who the owner of Flower Cemetery is?" Leon suddenly asked.
Wesker nodded and said: "The owner of Flower Cemetery is Duke Charles. Although he is not famous in the eyes of the public, many well-known companies in England belong to his name, and he has a very good relationship with the royal family.
, so his power in England is beyond your imagination."
Charles?
Liu Xing is really not familiar with this name, but Liu Xing is certain that this Charles should be an important member of the Corpse Eater Cult in England.
Soon, Liu Xing and others returned to downtown Manchester and chose a hotel close to the Manchester Police Station to stay.
After resting for an afternoon, Wesker took Liu Xing and others to a restaurant to meet Ms. Margaret.
On the way to the restaurant, Wesker did not forget to warn Liu Xing and others not to mention Director House casually after meeting Ms. Margaret.
Because as childhood sweethearts, Director House once had a bad relationship with Ms. Margaret, and Ms. Margaret is still unmarried...
Therefore, as an unrelated person, Wesker felt that it would be better for him and his team not to get involved casually.
Arriving at the restaurant, Liu Xing saw Ms. Margaret.
It has to be said that Liu Xing felt that there was a certain gap between Ms. Margaret and his own image. Originally, Liu Xing thought she was an elegant lady, but she turned out to be a plain-looking, somewhat obese black woman.
This may be the feeling of meeting netizens...
The meeting with Ms. Margaret went very smoothly. After the meal, Liu Xing and others got the uniforms and instrument models of the symphony orchestra from Ms. Margaret's car, and agreed to meet Liu Xing and others at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
We waited in front of the rehearsal room of the symphony orchestra for the bus to go to the Flower Cemetery together.
Then, Liu Xing and others went back to the hotel to rest.
When preparing to go to bed, Liu Xing still felt a little guilty. After all, if he was caught in Cthulhu's dream again, he might get cold.
But fortunately, Liu Xing was not hypnotized tonight.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Liu Xing and others got up to eat, then got dressed before eight o'clock, and brought the musical instrument model to Ms. Margaret's designated location.
At eight o'clock sharp, Ms. Margaret drove to pick up Liu Xing and others and came to the Flower Cemetery.
"Ms. Margaret, who are these three?"
The guard at Flower Cemetery looked at Liu Xing and others with some confusion.
Margaret laughed, patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said: "It's not that you don't know, Jenny, there are fewer and fewer people willing to come to the cemetery to play symphony. Last year, thirteen people resigned from my symphony orchestra, so
In order to avoid having no one available in the future, I decided to train a few more new people first."
Jenny nodded, took out three name badges from the side and said, "You should wear these three temporary work badges first. I will take you to get the official work badges during lunch."
