Chapter 57: Putting eye drops on the Police Department
"Why didn't the real murderer hire someone to go to John's store to commit murder instead of going there himself?" Corporal Linn asked, looking at Chu Long on the sofa opposite.
"The purpose of the real murderer was not to kill John, but to find the ruby necklace. How could he hire someone to do this kind of thing? If someone took the opportunity to take it away, he would cry without crying."
"Besides, his expenses in London are also a problem. It's impossible to spy on John while working!" Chu Long looked at Corporal Linn a little amused that he would actually ask such a funny question.
"Then he later hired..." Corporal Lin opened his mouth and was about to reveal the hiring money! But when he saw Chu Long opposite him, he curled his lips and immediately thought that John's safe in the bedroom had also been robbed.
.
"John is really miserable." Corporal Linn looked at Chu Long and said, who would have thought that the murderer would use the money he got from John to hire a killer to kill John.
"Okay, half an hour is up, we should go to the restaurant." Chu Long stood up and looked at Corporal Lin En and said.
"You can't delay dinner. Your stomach will protest. Go to the restaurant." Corporal Lin followed Chu Long as he left the room and walked towards the restaurant.
On the way to the restaurant, Chu and Long were still analyzing the case and sharing their respective conclusions.
Walking straight towards the restaurant, the renovated restaurant is basically divided into two parts. One part is the main hall mainly for dining and several suites. Chu Long and the others dine in the main hall. As for the suites, they are for special VIPs.
The other part is the leisure area, which is very quiet. Residents will come here with their partners or friends to talk and chat in the afternoon.
On one side of the hall is a gramophone larger than an ordinary gramophone, which often plays different music. People often drink red wine, eat some desserts, and enjoy the afternoon while listening to the wonderful music played in the afternoon leisure area.
When Chu Long and Corporal Lin arrived, Osmond had already sat down in a relatively remote corner of the restaurant, holding a newspaper to kill time while waiting for Chu Long and the others.
"Newspapers are really one of the indispensable information media in this era! Through them, people learn a lot of news that they should and should not know."
Chu Long and Corporal Lin En sat on both sides of the round table. Chu Long looked at Osmond and said.
"Time can change many things, and newspapers are one of them. I have read old-fashioned newspapers, which are full of denigration between parties and touting their noble sentiments." Osmond put the newspaper in his hand on the table.
It said above.
"Freedom of speech started with newspapers, but it has changed a lot compared to before." Regarding the previous newspapers, Corporal Linn expressed that he did not have enough recognition!
"Looking at your appearance, we have made a new discovery!" Osmen said looking at Chu Long and the two of them. Half an hour ago, it could be seen that the two of them were still looking sad, but now they have returned to normal.
"Yes! There was a flash of inspiration, as if he was blessed by Jesus." Chu Long looked at Osmond and said.
"The case is about to enter the final stage. It's a pity that you will miss it." Corporal Linn shrugged and said.
"I usually won't miss a play like this..." Osmond said seriously while looking at Corporal Linn.
"Da la la!" "Da la la!" A burst of moving music came from the gramophone, and everyone in the restaurant instantly fell silent, listening to this light and lively tune.
The sound of loud horns began as a blast, resounding throughout the restaurant to suppress the sounds of guests interacting with each other while dining, followed by a cheerful and joyful melody that continued like spring water. At this moment, everyone seemed to be still.
Usually listen to the moving and fresh music.
The music was sometimes melodious, sometimes soothing, sometimes bright and yet so heart-warming. Gradually, people followed the music and resumed their previous actions as if thawing. They ate, ate, and chatted, but they all lowered their voices and listened throughout the restaurant.
The music sounded like the whole restaurant was being cleansed invisibly.
"London Symphony No. 93 is known as a work that is 'unparalleled by anyone' and is also considered to be a work that is 'very English in flavor'." Osmond said softly while listening to the music.
"I listened to it, and it evoked memories of my childhood. The London Symphony is also called the Solomon Symphony. It was composed by Haydn after being invited by Solomon. It was 12 symphonies in five years." Chu Long said about the "London Symphony"
The memory is deeper. My mother liked to listen to it. She listened to it many times when I was a child, and the memory is particularly deep.
"Music can relax the mind and relieve stress, but it's getting late and we have to go to the hospital after dinner." Corporal Lin En said while looking at Chu Long and the two men on both sides of the table.
"Waiter, take your order." Corporal Linn waved to a waiter not far away who was serving drinks.
"Okay sir, please wait!"
"Hello, sir, what would you like to order?" The waiter sent the drinks in his hands to other tables and then came to Chu Long's table.
"A salmon and corn soup, that's it."
"It's the same as mine." Chu Long said at this time. He ate too much at night and couldn't digest it, so he ordered relatively less.
"Replace the salmon with medium-rare steak, and have Yorkshire pudding for dessert. That's it." Osmond saw that the two of them didn't eat much, so he didn't order more without wasting food.
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment!" The waiter recorded the meals ordered by Chu Long and the others, then turned and left.
Chu Long once again sincerely felt the "power" of the hotel. It was not only reflected in the appearance and service quality, but also the speed of serving food. It took less than half an hour from the time Chu Long and the others ordered the food to the waiter pushing the dining cart in front of them.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the quality will get worse if the speed is increased. After Chu Long and others tasted the corn soup they ordered, they felt that the soup was extremely delicious. The quality and quantity were maintained quickly, and it did not affect the guests’ dining mood. Indeed
It is indeed a restaurant in a big hotel!
After a delicious dinner, the conversation was a little less than usual during the meal. Occasionally, they chatted a little about the analysis process of the case. After the meal, the three of them took the car arranged by the hotel and arrived at Butts Hospital.
Arriving at Butts Hospital again, Chu Long and the others visited the injured Ya Heng, and happened to meet Ya Heng's attending doctor, Dr. Allston. According to Dr. Allston, Ya Heng woke up from a coma not long after we left.
However, the slightly hollow look in the eyes has not yet recovered. This is just a behavior inspired by the subconscious influence of the brain, and the patient has not yet fully awakened to consciousness.
When Chu Long and others visited Ya Heng, they discovered that there were two more police officers at the entrance of the hospital and several more "patients" on the floor where Ya Heng was located. Corporal Lin En said that Supervisor Upton acted very quickly.
! It seems that he can’t wait to end this case as soon as possible, and he “offlined” as soon as he finished speaking.
In response to Corporal Lin's words, Chu Long just smiled and said nothing. This case was not a big case. It was not that Inspector Upton had not experienced bigger cases before, but the timing was a coincidence! London
The bombings in the suburbs involved London's political figures and had a considerable impact on civilians. At this time, a case of wounding in a downtown shop emerged, which was an "eye candy" for the Metropolitan Police!
At this time, I have caused so much trouble to the Metropolitan Police. I can’t do anything without using you as an example! You are provocative! You are embarrassing the Metropolitan Police. Those aristocratic men in London will think that the Metropolitan Police is just a decoration.
It is waste that causes unrest in the city of London, which will affect the trust of royal dignitaries in the police force, and the most important impact is on the special funding of the police force.
Corporal Lin En told Chu Long about the source of funds for the police department. In addition to the fixed part from the royal family, the other part comes from special funds from dignitaries and noble gentlemen. This is why Inspector Upton is anxious to solve the case. To save it.
The face of the police department, and whoever solves the case will be known to the higher-ups, which will also be good for future promotions.
The two cases happened one after the other, and they were both well known to everyone. Even if there was no connection, the Police Department could not escape the blame. As soon as the case appeared, it was spread to the ears of the big bosses in the City of London, and they were criticized by name.
Regarding the security issues at the Police Department, Corporal Lin En told Chu Long while chatting on the way back to the hotel in the evening.
Thinking of this, Chu Long smiled silently with indifferent eyes.
Belated greetings, I wish you all a Happy New Year! Happy New Year's Day! Happy New Year! The first volume is almost over, and the superpower part is coming soon, so stay tuned!
