Liu Xing and others successfully followed Ms. Margaret into the Flower Cemetery, but because the morning performance was about to start, Liu Xing and others followed Ms. Margaret to the concert hall.
The concert hall is located in the side hall on the first floor of the tomb sales building. Inside is a full set of musical instruments provided by Flower Cemetery. Although Liu Xing does not know how to play musical instruments, looking at the brands on the musical instruments, Liu Xing knows that Flower Cemetery is indeed a
A lot of money was spent to build this concert hall.
It seems that Flower Cemetery is quite willing to spend money.
Five minutes later, members of Ms. Margaret's symphony orchestra arrived at the concert hall one after another, but Ms. Margaret did not introduce the three Liu Xings to the members of the symphony orchestra.
The reason is very simple. Liu Xing can tell that the members of these symphony orchestras are here to be monks and ring the clock for a day, because they all have lazy and indifferent faces. They are friends gathering together to talk about random topics.
But speaking of which, people who can learn musical instruments these days should have good family conditions, and their purpose of learning musical instruments is definitely not to play for the dead, so now the members of Ms. Margaret’s symphony orchestra should all be depressed.
People with ambitions and difficult living conditions, otherwise they would not come here to work.
Of course, this is a good thing for Liu Xing and the others. After all, Liu Xing and the others are here to be "undercovers" and it would be better to have less contact with these people.
Unfortunately, Liu Xing soon discovered that things were counterproductive, because young beauties like Jill could easily attract people's attention, and most of the so-called artists who played music felt good about themselves, so many band members came to chat with Jill.
However, Leon took advantage of every opportunity and decisively arranged Liu Xing and Jill as a couple, finally dissuading those singles.
"Chris, you should be more intimate with Jill these days, lest those guys find out that you are not a couple, and then Jill will be in trouble again." Leon said to Liu Xing with a wink.
Of course, Leon didn't control his volume when he said these words, so Jill on the side could hear it clearly.
Liu Xing was not a hypocritical person, so he looked at Jill affectionately and said, "Jill, it seems we have to cooperate well these two days."
Jill blushed and nodded.
At this moment, Ms. Margaret clapped her hands and announced that the performance had officially begun.
Because the three Liu Xings were still "interns", Ms. Margaret just arranged for the three Liu Xings to watch from the sidelines, instead of having to follow the other band members to make up for the trouble.
Ever since, Liu Xing and the other two sat in a corner chatting.
As Lyon, who has the highest musical level among the three, couldn't help but start judging the level of those band members.
As Liu Xing sees it, these band members are here to kill time, so the performance level can only be said to be hovering near the passing line, and sometimes there will be some mistakes. Therefore, according to Lyon, if they are buried in the Flower Cemetery
If you are talking about a musician, then the musician is likely to be angry.
While Lyon was commenting, Liu Xing saw a schematic diagram of the tomb sales building on the wall on one side, so Liu Xing got up and walked over.
According to this schematic diagram, the tomb sales building is divided into four floors, one of which is an underground parking lot and temporary morgue.
Then there is the ground floor where Liu Xing and others are currently located. In addition to the symphony hall and tomb sales office, there are restaurants, lounges, and a conversation room that looks like a consultation office from the name.
As for the second floor on the ground, it is the staff lounge and logistics office, as well as a large manager's room.
However, the entire third floor of the tomb-selling building is a living room.
Liu Xing touched his chin and felt that there must be something wrong with the third floor of the tomb-selling building. After all, the tomb-selling building should cover an area of more than 500 square meters, and a place like a cemetery should not need such a large space.
The living room is the right one.
What's more, there is a "conversation room" with an area of about 20 square meters on the ground floor. Logically speaking, this is a normal living room.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the third floor of the tomb-selling building was either a sacrificial venue, or a venue specifically for corpse-eating cult believers or ghouls to gather.
There is also the manager's office on the second floor. In Liu Xing's opinion, the area is too large, because the manager's office directly occupies nearly one-third of the area on the second floor. This is obviously unreasonable, unless
The manager of Flower Cemetery lives directly in the manager’s office.
Therefore, there may be something in this manager's office.
As for the underground floor of the tomb sales building, Liu Xing thinks there should be no problem. Although the flow of people at Flower Cemetery is not too large at ordinary times, according to Liu Xing’s observation, the staff of Flower Cemetery itself plus the symphony orchestra
There are only a few dozen members, and the Flower Cemetery is located in the suburbs of Manchester and is not on a public transportation route, so most visitors come by car.
As for the existence of underground morgues, it is also a normal thing. After all, the families of the deceased who can be buried in Flower Cemetery must hope that the remains of the deceased can remain intact, so Flower Cemetery needs a morgue to temporarily park the corpse.
between.
Of course, since the body needs to be visited during the funeral, Liu Xing felt that the ghoul would not start feasting in the morgue.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that it was necessary to investigate the reception room on the third floor, the manager's room on the second floor, and the conversation room on the first floor, because there was a high possibility that some important information might be hidden in these places.
Soon, an hour passed.
After finishing their performance, the members of the symphony orchestra left the concert hall in twos and threes and began to go to the restaurant for breakfast. Naturally, Liu Xing and the other three followed Ms. Margaret.
"I believe you have all seen that my symphony orchestra is now disorganized, so I plan to disband the symphony orchestra after a while and go to London to spend my remaining years." Ms. Margaret sighed and said.
.
Liu Xing nodded and asked with some confusion: "By the way, Ms. Margaret, I actually had a question to ask you when I saw you yesterday..."
Before Liu Xing could finish speaking, Ms. Margaret said with a smile: "I know what you want to ask. In fact, although your Director House and I grew up together, it has always been me.
It's just unrequited love, because how could Director House like me, an ugly duckling? Besides, you should also know that when I was a child, racial discrimination was rampant. Although my family's family conditions were good, I was still in school.
I suffered all kinds of discrimination. At that time, House was the only one willing to talk and play with me, so I always regarded House as my hero, especially when I was a girl. I often swore that I would never marry anyone other than House.
So you have all seen now that I am still single, but I have now looked past it and these are not a problem."
Liu Xing smiled awkwardly, because the question Liu Xing wanted to ask was not this.
But having said that, because Ms. Margaret and Director House are of the same age, Liu Xing knows that Ms. Margaret was born in the 1940s. At that time, England, as an old empire, was also selling goods.
As one of the main countries for black slaves, racial discrimination in England is very rampant and has penetrated into all classes and circles in England.
Especially those students who are not yet mature mentally, they are the vanguard of racial discrimination, so Liu Xing can imagine what kind of treatment Ms. Margaret encountered in school, and the importance of Director House to her.
Just when Liu Xing was wondering whether he should ask Ms. Margaret any more questions, Jill helped Liu Xing ask the question he originally wanted to ask Ms. Margaret, "Ms. Margaret, I want to
Let me ask you a question, that is why you accepted the invitation from the Flower Cemetery and brought the symphony orchestra to perform in a place like this."
Ms. Margaret laughed, took out a hundred-dollar pound from her pocket and said: "The answer to this question is very simple, that is one word - money. You must know the monthly expenses to maintain a symphony orchestra.
It’s a lot of money, and the main way for symphony orchestras to earn income is to perform. But now people are more inclined to listen to pop concerts than to listen to symphonies, so symphony orchestras are becoming
At the same time it is elegant, it has also begun to become niche. Therefore, a small private symphony orchestra like mine could only receive three or four performance invitations a month, and the income was not too high. Therefore, after accepting
Before the invitation from Flower Cemetery, my symphony orchestra was already on the verge of disbanding because it could not make ends meet."
"I just mentioned to you that my family is pretty good, because my parents were both well-known black musicians at the time, and the symphony orchestra I am now in charge of was also organized by my parents, so I am sure
I didn’t want this symphony orchestra to disband under my control, so when I received the invitation from Flower Cemetery, I accepted it without hesitation. After all, the conditions given by Flower Cemetery were very good, and I had no reason to refuse.
In my eyes, the current symphony orchestra has ceased to exist in name only, so after I finish helping you, it will be time to disband."
Liu Xing felt that Ms. Margaret had set a flag...
Arriving at the restaurant of the tomb sales building, Ms. Margaret introduced: "The restaurant of Flower Cemetery is a complete buffet, so you can choose the food you want to eat, but we have to finish it early now, and then
I will take you to Jenny to get a formal work card, so that you can enter and leave the Flower Cemetery more conveniently."
Liu Xing and others nodded and randomly selected some food for breakfast.
Ten minutes later, Liu Xing and others followed Ms. Margaret to find Jenny.
Jenny didn't waste any time and took Liu Xing and others directly to the logistics office on the second floor. After taking a red background bareheaded photo one by one, Liu Xing and others sat on the sofa in the corridor and waited for their formal work.
The card production is completed.
At this time, Jenny was also waiting outside with Liu Xing and others, because the logistics department was full of holes and there was no spare space.
"Mr. Jenny, I want to ask you a question, that is, why is the manager's office on the second floor so big? Does your manager live here directly?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
Jenny frowned and was silent for a moment before he said: "I don't know much about this, because I am just an ordinary doorman. As for the manager, I have never seen him, and I have never entered the manager's office.
I have, so I can’t answer your question, but after what you said, I also think that the manager may live in the manager’s office.”
Liu Xing nodded silently. Unexpectedly, the manager of the Flower Cemetery was quite mysterious. Even the doorman had never seen him. It seemed that this manager was not an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but look at the door of the manager's office not far away. However, there was nothing strange about the manager's office from the outside, except that the door was painted in bright red, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding white walls.
.
Liu Xing shook his head and looked back through the glass at the tombs of Flower Cemetery.
It has to be said that if you ignore the tombstones and the stone walls used for partitions, the tomb hill in the Flower Cemetery does indeed look like a good forest park, and the design company hired by the Flower Cemetery is indeed very good.
Being creative, I actually made a man-made river based on the mountains.
This made the Flower Cemetery "alive" all of a sudden.
But after all, this is a cemetery where hundreds of people are buried, so Liu Xing always feels that this cemetery is full of gloom and gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.
When Liu Xing and the others got their official work cards, the free time in the morning was over, so Liu Xing and others could only stay in the concert hall on standby with other members of the symphony orchestra.
"I think there may be something wrong with the manager's office on the second floor." Leon said, rubbing his chin.
Liu Xing nodded, pointed to the schematic diagram over there and said: "Yes, the manager's office on the second floor is probably just a cover, because logically speaking, the manager's office cannot be so big, and the manager of Flower Cemetery
There is no reason to live here all the time, not to mention that the manager is also elusive, and even the doorman has never seen him, so I suspect that the manager may not be human."
"In addition, the living room on the third floor is really too big. It actually occupies the entire floor. This is obviously abnormal. After all, the area of this living room is almost the same as the auditorium in my elementary school.
, and it is impossible for the Flower Cemetery to receive hundreds of guests at one time." Gill continued.
Leon chuckled and said seriously: "Sure enough, the heroes have the same idea. It seems that there are some shady secrets hidden in these big rooms. Maybe Dio is hiding in these big rooms!"
