25 Birdcages

Lin Yilong and Sister Yeang have already eaten the main course. Taking advantage of the two sisters' sweets and coffee, Lin Yilong began to check the application form filled out by the Yeang sisters over the coffee, supplemented the account information, and asked the two sisters to sign in the signature office.

After attaching the two sisters' passports, passport photos, police registration letters, and credit certificates and bills obtained from Stewart, Lin Yilong carefully sealed the document in a large envelope and put it in his backpack.

"There is no problem with the documents, but Miss Vera, can you tell me where you got the funds from?" Lin Yilong zipped up his backpack and suddenly asked Vera in English.

"Arranged from our protectors. Vera also switched to English and told the truth.

"NG, your funds are not yours, I will refuse your visa application. Please answer this question for the next applicant, Nadia," Lin Yilong replied coldly.

"Late grandfather's legacy?" Nadia asked cautiously, but still spoke Russian.

"Again, I'm a visa officer, and I don't accept interviews in foreign languages. Lin Yilong straightened up and tried to make himself serious.

"Deeply loved our grandfather's legacy. Nadia also began to answer questions in English.

"So, why did your grandfather pass over your father and leave your inheritance?" Lin Yilong asked.

"He loves us and hopes that we will be better off in the future. Nadia made up such an excuse, but it was acceptable.

"Then when did you get this deposit?" Lin Yilong asked.

"At the beginning of this year. Nadia replied uncertainly.

"So, Miss Yeon, according to your entry and exit records, you have been resident in London since last September, and the Treasury has not found any records of your inheritance declaration, so please pay a total of £420,000 in advance. Lin Yilong explained the question in Nadia's answer, "The next applicant, Miss Vera-Yeon." ”

"When did you get this inheritance?" is similar, but with a different question.

"When I was in college, my grandfather left it to us. Vera replied.

"Then why isn't this source reflected in your application materials?" Lin Yilong continued to ask.

"It's ......," Vera couldn't answer.

"Yuri, what is the correct way to interpret this question?" Nadia interrupted Lin Yilong's questioning with his sister, feeling that the question was a little tricky.

"If it's the last question, why is it possible for the British Treasury to control the banks in Moscow?" Lin explained, "this question should not be asked by the consular officer, but he can put pressure on you through questions like this that should not have been asked by him, and find out from your hesitation the question of the authenticity of your application materials." ”

"These are all your assumptions, and the visa officer will not ask these questions on the spot. Vera was not convinced, and decided to fight Lin Yilong to the end on this visa application issue.

Lin Yilong smiled sarcastically, "What." Vera, do you have the courage to put it to the test?"

"Come, who's afraid of whom!" Vera gritted her teeth, although she was ready to accept Lin Yilong, she didn't think that Lin Yilong could ask her about her ability to deal with random questions.

Twenty minutes later, Vera was made full of loopholes in the entire factual system by Lin Yilong's not-so-tricky question, and surrendered to Lin Yilong.

"And what are our coping skills?" Nadia jotted down Lin Yilong's simulated visa officer question, but there were probably still a few variations of so many questions that could not be fully answered, and she and Vera needed some skills.

"Try to speak as slowly as possible, you all remember some of the answers to the questions I just asked. Lin Yilong said, "When you speak, you should slow down, but not too slowly, otherwise the visa officer will think that your language skills are insufficient, or they will reject your application - the time span of each person's appointment is only 15 minutes, and after checking the content of the document, there will not be a lot of time to cover all the questions on the visa materials. ”

After another thirty minutes, this time the Yeon sisters passed Lin Yilong's mock test. At the end, Big Ben struck nine times.

"When I get back, I'll go back to the problems I'm going to have tomorrow, but for now, I'd like to ask you to come with me to Riverside Street and see the apartment. Lin Yilong paid for the meal considerately, not in Vera's suite, even though the latter also had a credit in his name.

Not far from the hotel where the Yeon sisters stayed, the Barbican Arts Center is located, and at this time, just as the end of the Arts Center Theater performance, there are many taxis waiting for customers to park outside the main entrance.

Appearing downstairs in the apartment again, Lin Yilong's not too appropriate attire still made him disgusted by the front desk security guard on night duty, and he blocked him in the foyer. However, because there are tall and beautiful sisters next to her, the security guard's wording is much more civilized than that of the police.

"Are you the one who was taken away by the police a few hours ago?" the clerk recognized Lin Yilong, "Sir, please go out, there must be no one you are looking for here." ”

"That's where I live. Lin Yilong replied indifferently, pointing to the mailbox next to the front desk that had just embed his name.

The security guard was stunned, looked at Lin Yilong, and then looked at his work schedule.

"I'm sorry I didn't recognize you in time, Mr. Lin. The security guard immediately changed into a kind smile and said to Lin Yilong, "Welcome to Aldwich Square." ”

"It's okay, as a landlord, I want my security guard to be more vigilant against every outsider, and it's very appropriate to do so, and I have no objection. Lin Yilong still said in a cold tone, "However, I hope that I will not be mistakenly recognized next time." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sure there won't be a next time, I hope you and your ....." Speaking of this, he found that he didn't know what to call the Yeang sisters who came with Lin Yilong, "In short, I hope you can enjoy your stay here." ”

Immediately, he made an internal phone call and beckoned his colleague to temporarily take his place at the front desk for a while, and sent Lin Yilong and Sister Yeang into his new home.

Not a standard split-level apartment, the fifth floor where the entrance is located is a second bedroom with a master bedroom with two separate bathrooms, while the top floor is furnished with an open kitchen/dining/living room, study and shared toilet.

"Before you graduate, stay here. After Lin Yilong took the two sisters to check around the empty apartment, he said softly to Sister Yeang, "The security measures here are very good, there is a well-equipped gym on the first floor, which is very close to the teaching building where you are taking classes, and not far from other facilities..... Forget it, you're more familiar with this area than I am. ”

"Also, I won't be staying here permanently until September. The only maintenance you have to do is to keep the room clean, and the remaining two secondary bedrooms, you can think about how to divide them. Lin Yilong walked to the door, leaving the Yeon sisters to consider the interior layout, "Finally, as a protector's request, don't stay home at night. ”

Lin Yilong and others were in the corridor, and involuntarily remembered the song "Caged Bird":

"The delicate face and graceful figure are exchanged for the money of the elderly, and she is the canary in the cage. [Note]

This apartment on Riverside Street is the birdcage of the Yeon sisters.
