23 hotel rooms
The lively scene with Lin Yilong as the main party could not allow him to swagger into the nearby apartment in front of so many people, so he simply went to the nearby police station (the size of a police station in China) with a few policemen.
Before recording the testimony, he was invited to the Inspector's office for a closed chat.
The sheriff is about the same age as Lin Yilong's boss Davis, and his tall and thin figure and kind face make people who meet him for the first time feel good, and slightly alleviate the emotional confrontation between Lin Yilong and the police.
"I really regret their rudeness. The sheriff stood up and said to Lin Yilong, "Please accept my apologies?"
"Is it for you as a sheriff personally, or as an official apology from the Metropolitan Police Department?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically.
"My personal. The sheriff replied, "By the way, I would like to ask you to lift up your noble hand and forgive them." If this continues, the work of the two policemen will be over. ”
"Then can you understand me?" Lin Yilong laughed angrily at this logic, "I was pulled out by your police in a taxi, what about my reputation, what about interrupted work, how to deal with my lost time and loss due to poor communication? Do you think I'm Asian, so I'm easy to bully or something else?"
"As compensation, I am willing to let them compensate you financially. The sheriff's tone became more tactful, and he said, "From that credit card marked by the Bar Association, I know that you are a lawyer, and I believe you understand that if this happens, even if it is a complaint, you will not be able to get much compensation personally, and for the sake of your justice, you will have to attend the hearing to testify as a victim, which is a waste of a lot of time." So, just for your sake, I wonder if I can ....."
"So you want to reconcile?" Lin Yilong asked, he was more anxious about the meeting with Sister Yeang now, the time had passed half past five, and he was a little late.
"That's right, if you don't think it's right, you can negotiate again. The sheriff sensed a turn in Lin Yilong's tone.
"I accepted, but in order not to sleep long at night, I now asked for £3,000 in cash. Lin Yilong said coldly, setting the price at an amount that he thought was 'reasonable', "I hope you can guarantee that similar things will not happen again in the future, and I can act as if the whole thing didn't happen." I want you to understand one thing, I chose not to complain this time because I recognize the vigilance of the Metropolitan Police, but it does not mean that I will not complain next time. ”
"I'm sure there won't be a next time. The sheriff nodded, accepted the amount proposed by Lin Yilong, and walked out of the office.
The two policemen stood outside the sheriff's office as if a catastrophe was coming.
"Not as an example. The sheriff's words made the two overjoyed, "However, Mr. Lin's loss needs to be compensated by you, 1,500 pounds each." ”
Hearing this amount, the two left in frustration, and for a policeman who earns less than 30,000 pounds a year [Note 1], the compensation of 1,500 pounds is still a bit large.
Lin Yilong was waiting for his settlement money to be delivered, and left the police station quickly.
It's still Barbican, which gets even more noisy as soon as night falls.
"Sorry, I'm a little late. Lin Yilong hurriedly broke into the suite of the Yeon sisters, only to see the shadows of Nadia or Vera posing in front of the mirror.
Awkwardness with a capital letter. It must be opened in the wrong way.
"Sorry, well, I seem to have gone to the wrong door. Lin Yilong touched the back of his head and exited the suite.
After cooling down in the hotel corridor for a minute and a half, they entered the hotel suite of the two sisters again, and the identical twins sat side by side in the living room waiting for Lin Yilong.
"Good evening, my dear ladies. Lin Yilong said, "Let me guess, which one is Nadia and which one is Vera?"
Regarding the identification of twins, Lin Yilong read a very interesting article: due to the existence of muscle memory, if twins get used to their position every time, then the subconscious avoidance direction of muscle memory is also consistent with the direction that they are usually used to. Lin Yilong can only presume that neither Nadia nor Vera have read similar articles, and will not deliberately confuse their habits.
"Whichever one of you, please sit on this separate couch. Lin Yilong said to them, "Then I can tell you the answer." ”
A girl sat on a single-seater sofa specially vacated for Lin Yilong as Lin Yilong ordered.
After the girl sat down, Lin Yilong walked to the sofa, pursed his mouth, and approached the lips of the girl in front of him very, very slowly.
The girl was calm at first, but before the lips were about to touch, she instinctively made a slight dodge to her left side - on Friday, it was Nadia who was standing on the right side of the desk while the two sisters were in different clothes.
Lin Yilong knew it in his heart.
"You, Vera....... Not really!" Lin Yilong said [Note 2] after selling a lawsuit, and then slowly got up.
"How did you guess?" On the side, Vera's question confirmed Lin Yilong's answer.
"Trade secrets. The answer is typical social rhetoric.
Lin Yilong first pulled up Nadia in front of him, and then stretched out his hand to Vera.
Vera was a little confused, hesitantly, but still took Lin Yilong's hand to help her.
"Thank you. With a voice as thin as a gnat, Vera thanked Lin Yilong.
"Did you say anything?" Lin Yilong asked, not just observing the fluctuations of Vera's lip lines.
"Nothing. Vera calmed down and said.
"What are we going to eat today?" Lin Yilong asked, "If you don't really want to go to Leicester Square, you can also eat something else." ”
"I think we'll have to get used to Chinese food in the future. Nadia asked, "I don't think we need to rush it." ”
Lin Yilong looked at Nadia's expression who was trying to be honest, and then replied with a smile: "I don't care what I eat, but I think my outfit tonight is not suitable for taking the two of you to some high-end places that require formal attire, if you want to eat something else, as long as it's not the South and East Sides, and the Middle Eastern food near Paddington, the rest is fine." If you're feeling tired, we can call room service, just like you do for lunch on Saturdays. ”
Lin Yilong's proposal made the eyes of the Yeang sisters light up, and the two sisters have used vegetable salad and bread sold in supermarkets near schools for lunch and dinner in the past few days.
