Chapter 595: Destructive Possession and Plunder
The weather in London suddenly came out of the early morning haze, and at this moment, when Qingwen and Sheriff Scott were talking, it was simply a fog outside.
Mr. Scott clearly has a crush on Qingwen, saying:
"I'm entangled in official business here, but in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, I am still willing to take half a day off to accompany Miss Kebei for a turn. ”
Qingwen was very guarded, and hurriedly said, "No, no, sheriff, you better go and get busy." ”
But in the middle of refusal, Sheriff Scott had already taken Qingwen's arm, picked up Qingwen's parasol and walked to the door without saying a word, and the old butler seemed to be very cooperative, and immediately opened the door.
Qingwen had to be hospitable and casual, she thought to herself: "Be kind as a stream, be good as a stream, don't let this sheriff of the British Empire underestimate us and embarrass our Inspector Conan." ”
So, Qingwen simply drove the ducks to the shelves and followed Sergeant Coster to the street.
"Miss Cobe, do you still know something, let me introduce you slowly," Sheriff Scott said this, he had already invited Qingwen to get into the carriage, he pulled the bell in the carriage, it seemed that the coachman in front of the carriage immediately understood his order, the two horses' standard carriage started at once, Qingwen could clearly hear the sound of the horse's hooves, it seemed, it was a leisurely stroll, not a way of believing in the horse's reins.
Outside the curtain of the carriage, a scene of London was presented, and Sergeant Scott said:
"You're in a precinct that sits somewhere between the Upper London Borough and the slums, so when you're travelling alone, make sure you call a carriage and the coachman is someone you know. ”
Although Qingwen nodded, in fact, she didn't know if she really listened or not. In the final analysis, when she was in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Qingwen has always been a stupid and bold child, a female man, when has she ever been afraid to walk at night, or climbed mountains and mountains alone, even when she arrives in Nancheng, where ordinary people gather, she is also at ease, as if she can make new friends everywhere and at any time. That is to say, in Qingwen's heart, there is almost no word "afraid", she is even ashamed of her fear, deliberately pursuing a brave and fearless state, therefore, today, I came to the new territory of the British Empire unfamiliarly, although it is said that it is to follow the customs, and should abide by the basic requirements for a lady here, but, as far as Sheriff Coster kindly reminds and advises at the moment, Qingwen is always one ear in and one ear out, and does not take it seriously.
Along the way, everywhere he went, Sheriff Scott would point out to Qingwen in the carriage, and patiently told the origin of this place, Qingwen's eyes widened, curiosity killed the cat, and a curiosity gave himself to this eighteenth-century London, Qingwen really reflected and sighed in her heart about her willfulness.
"Look, this is the Tower of London. It was a serious crime in London and even in the British Empire, especially some of the great nobles. For example, Queen Elizabeth was imprisoned here before she succeeded to the throne, and Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned here. ”
Qingwen nodded. That's when she heard Sheriff Scott sigh heavily.
Qingwen said, "What, sheriff, do you have something on your mind?"
Scott said: "Alas, I always thought that this big stone in my heart would one day be unable to hold back and vomit as soon as possible, but I did not expect that it would be here, in a carriage, to confide in a strange Oriental lady. ”
Qingwen said, "Sheriff Scott, if you trust me, it's okay to say it. ”
Sheriff Scott was amazed at how calmly and quickly she was able to respond. Because in his heart, he knew that few young ladies were willing to listen to the complaints of a greasy uncle.
However, he was sure to look at it for a few seconds and came to the conclusion that the girl in front of him was an extremely honest and clear person, which made him a little unbearable to speak.
Qingwen continued to encourage him, saying, "We were supposed to talk about the cause of Inspector Conan's death, but now that we know each other, we can speed up the process of getting to know each other and reach a situation of mutual trust as soon as possible, and we can start this topic." ”
Scott didn't expect an Oriental girl to be so down-to-earth and generous, and she could get straight to the point, not grinding, not arrogant, and just on the facts.
Qingwen's attitude gave Scott a kind of confidence, so he cleared his throat and said:
"We asked Inspector Conan to work with us in England because we couldn't solve this problem ourselves. ”
Qingwen asked, "Is it about Jack the Ripper?"
Sergeant Scott nodded with a wry smile, and then said: "You probably know that today's Britain is simply in the world, and the ancient traditions of the past have been destroyed by these big chaebols and big capitalists. Qingwen didn't speak, she didn't go through this initial stage of capitalism, so she felt completely speechless.
Sheriff Scott is like an angry young man, and once he opens the conversation, he gushes endlessly, and he is full of righteous indignation.
Qingwen looked at Scott's painful expression and the chatter of spittle stars, she listened very carefully, because she already felt that Scott's troubles were definitely not something she was capable of helping him solve, and the only thing she could do now was to make him feel that he was listening as much as possible, and listened with an understanding heart.
Qingwen, after so many things now, this girl has really changed from a stupid goose to a little lady, but this evolution is a little unacceptable, just like Wei Xiaobao will never accept that she will grow up and Qingwen will grow old one day.
Sheriff Scott said: "In this era when people only ask for money, the only thing we can do is to rise up and resist before we have no choice but to catch the real culprit!"
Qingwen felt that this Sheriff Scott was really a lover person, a bit similar to the performance of Xue Pan in Nanzhou, it was easy to get excited, it was easy to go online, and it was easy to be strict with others and lenient with herself.
Sheriff Coster didn't have the feeling of Qingwen's first meeting, he was probably too excited, and his whole body and mind were devoted to this matter, which seemed to be a devastating possession and plunder of him, so that he could not calmly deal with his surroundings.
