"Chu, you are talking about the central tower. The center of the Palace of Westminster is the Octagonal Central Hall, which is next to the Nobles' Hall and is the base of the central tower. Dean Charles once took us in once. In the central hall
The mosaic-embedded sculptures show the patron saints of each of the constituent kingdoms of the United Kingdom: St. George of England, St. Andrew of Scotland, St. David of Wales and St. Bode of Ireland." Corporal Lynn held a cigarette.
He said as he was thinking back and forth like a puff of smoke.
"We went to the opposite side of the Thames to watch the Palace of Westminster. From there we could see a panoramic view of the front. With the sunset, the Thames and the palace were reflected in the painting, as if it was carefully designed by an oil painter.
"Osmond sighed.
"Then let's set off!" Corporal Lin En looked at Chu Long and said.
"Okay!" After Chu Long said this, he followed Corporal Linn and Osmond to the carriage parked on the roadside, and headed towards the other side of the Thames River in the carriage with Ya Heng who was sitting in the carriage.
As the carriage drove on the bridge, Yaheng looked at the Thames and sighed and said: "Most of the main buildings in London are located on both sides of the Thames. Foreigners or students coming to London will pass by this river. People say this is British.
"Mother River".
"Yes! Although the Thames River is not long, wherever it passes is the seat of British culture. It can also be said that this river has nurtured the splendid English civilization." Chu Long looked at the sun.
The Thames River is sparkling, and you can see boats sailing on the river in the distance.
"The Thames is not only a symbol of culture in Britain, but also an economic lifeline. The Thames opened a shipping channel to Europe for Britain at sea, which made Britain more prosperous." Corporal Linn looked at the end of the river, as if
I saw the ships on the Thames estuary, which brought endless wealth to Britain.
As Chu Long and the others walked and stopped, the sky slowly darkened, the street lights on both sides of the river gradually turned on, and a faint mist floated on the Thames River. As night fell,
Chu Long and others stood on this side of the river bank, looking at the Palace of Westminster on the other side. There were a large number of towers on the top, as well as beautiful reliefs on the walls and stone carvings on the lace windows. Lights gradually came on.
It lit up from it, like a finely crafted work of art, showing its other features under the light.
Unique and natural charm. Its many towers and needle-like spiers sparkle like a queen's crown under the illumination of searchlights. Looking from this side of the river bank, combined with the fog on the river, there is a hazy beauty, like
It is the elegant, beautiful and elegant queen hidden behind the tulle.
Corporal Lin En next to Chu Long was "s puffing" on the side. This was already his twelfth cigarette. He hadn't stopped since lunch. He smoked a cigarette every once in a while. Chu Long looked at it.
His cigarette case changed from a bulging one to a flat one now. "Corporal, it's unhealthy for you to smoke like this!"
"I'm used to it. Ever since I joined the army, smoking has become like eating." Corporal Linn took the last puff of his cigarette, left the cigarette butt on the ground, and stubbed it out with his foot.
"Corporal, would you smoke like this if you went to the Palace of Westminster?"
"What a joke! This is impossible. Since the seventeenth century, the upper and lower houses have jointly issued bans on smoking. No one is allowed to smoke in the Palace of Westminster. However, I heard Dean Charles say
Even though we have smoked, some senior officials still smoke secretly, and it would be very embarrassing to be caught." Corporal Linn shook his head and said.
"Lynn, are you allowed to wear weapons when you enter?" Ya Heng looked at Corporal Linn and asked.
"Weapons cannot be brought into the lobby. There is a storage area at the door. Not only weapons, but also military uniforms cannot be worn, and you don't even need to bring your ID badge. There are records inside, and personal information has been sent to the lobby before each visit.
There is no need to bring extra items to Stminster Palace." Corporal Lynn said patiently.
At this time, the groom on the roadside came over and said, "Gentlemen, it's getting late. Do you want to go back to the hotel now?"
Corporal Lin En took out a pocket watch from his jacket pocket. The time on the pocket watch showed that it was already six o'clock in the evening. "Time flies so fast, let's go back to the hotel now!" He said and looked at Chu Long and the other two.
"Then let's go back!" Chu Long looked at Ya Heng beside him and said.
"good."
Under the cover of night, several people were riding in a carriage, traveling along the river bank. The carriage drew a long shadow under the reflection of the street lamp, and the voices of several people talking could be faintly heard from the carriage.
Roberts Manor Main Building Office:
Charles was sitting behind his desk, looking at the report from the college. There was a brand new newspaper on the table, as well as steaming coffee. "Dong, dong, dong," three knocks on the door sounded. Charles looked up and said to the door.
: "Please come in!"
The person outside the door heard Charles's voice, opened the door and walked into the room, closed the door and walked towards Charles behind the desk. Charles looked at the person and said: "Lieutenant Avery, is there any news from the Metropolitan Police Department?"
"Dean, the killer caught in London is still unconscious because he was beaten up by the angry police. However, he is monitored 24 hours a day and there will be no 'accident'."
"The London side brought back the killer's car at the scene. It was modified. The parts can be bought around London. It has no useful value." Lieutenant Avery held the file bag in his hand and stood looking at it straightly.
Dean Charles said.
"Is it all bad news? Is there any valuable news?" Charles stood up from behind the desk, walked to the round table by the window, picked up the pipe on the table, and slowly lit it with a lighter.
"On the killer's chest is a tattoo of a man kneeling on the ground with no scalp and covered in blood. The killer and gunman at the scene both have the same tattoo, and even the position has not changed." Lieutenant Avery told the London side
The only useful message given.
"Second Lieutenant, inform Lieutenant Bishop to go to London to monitor the entire interrogation process. I don't want to see news that someone has died." Dean Charles was afraid that someone would deliberately kill the killer, so he decided to send someone to guard him to avoid 'new problems'.
"Okay, Dean." After saying that, Lieutenant Avery left the room.
The office became quiet again. Dean Charles was wearing a plaid sweater, holding a smoking meerschaum pipe and looking out the window. He didn't know what he was thinking. From the second floor, you could see that the servants were still there.
While busy with the chores of the manor, the guards were patrolling the manor one by one.
Wuzi looked out the window, looking at everyone working in the manor. He suddenly turned around, picked up the phone on the table, and turned the dial. After the phone sounded "Didi!", a thick male voice asked:
"Dean Charles, what news do you want to know this time?"
① Mosaic: Also known as mosaic tiles or paper tiles. Small tiles used in construction to form various decorative patterns. The use of mosaics originated in ancient Greece. The peak period of mosaic development was during the Byzantine Empire.
Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity and vigorously promoted its development.
②Sepiolite: Sepiolite is a fibrous hydrous magnesium silicate, usually in white, light gray, light yellow and other colors. It is opaque and has no luster. It was formed by the shells of sea microorganisms deposited on the seabed millions of years ago and petrified.
Meerschaum is made of light weight, good heat dissipation, and because the stone is delicate and soft, it is very easy to carve very exquisite and detailed relief patterns on the outer wall, which has high artistic value.
