Chapter 672: The Secret of the Great Room

Liu Xing and the others successfully followed Ms. Margaret into the Flower Cemetery, but because the morning performance was about to start, Liu Xing and the others still followed Ms. Margaret to the recital hall.

The recital hall is located on the first floor of the cemetery building, which is a full set of musical instruments provided by the Flower Cemetery, although Liu Xing does not know how to play musical instruments, but looking at the signs on those musical instruments, Liu Xing knows that the Flower Cemetery has indeed invested heavily to build this concert hall.

It seems that the Flower Cemetery is quite willing to spend money.

Five minutes later, Ms. Margaret's symphony orchestra members arrived in the recital hall one after another, but Ms. Margaret did not introduce Liu Xing to the members of the symphony orchestra.

The reason is very simple, Liu Xing can see that the members of these symphony orchestras are all here to be monks for a day and hit the clock for a day, because they are all lazy and indifferent, and three or five friends get together to talk about some messy topics.

But it is also said that the family conditions of those who can learn musical instruments in these years should be good, and the purpose of their learning of musical instruments is definitely not to play for the dead, so the members of Ms. Margaret's symphony orchestra now should be some depressed and difficult people, otherwise they would not come to work here.

Of course, this is a good thing for Liu Xing and the three of them, after all, Liu Xing and the three of them are here to be "undercover", and it is better to have less contact with these people.

It's a pity that Liu Xing soon found out that it backfired, because a young beauty like Jill can easily attract people's attention, and most of the so-called artists who play music feel good about themselves, so many band members came to talk to Jill.

However, Leon also saw the needle, and decisively arranged Liu Xing and Jill as a couple, and finally persuaded those single dogs to quit.

"Chris, you have to be intimate with Jill these days, lest those guys find out that you are not a couple, and Jill will be in trouble again." Leon said to Liu Xing with a wink.

Of course, Leon didn't control his volume when he said these words, so Jill on the side could hear it clearly.

Liu Xing is not a hypocritical person, so he looked at Jill affectionately and said, "Jill, it seems that we have to cooperate well in the past two days." ”

Jill blushed and nodded.

At that moment, Ms. Margaret clapped her hands and announced the official start of the performance.

Because Liu Xing and the three of them are still "interns", Ms. Margaret arranged for Liu Xing and the three to watch from the sidelines, so that they don't have to follow the other band members to fill up the numbers.

So, Liu Xing and the three of them sat in a corner and chatted.

Leon, who has the highest level of music among the three, can't help but start judging the level of those band members.

As Liu Xing can see, these band members are here to mix up time, so the level of performance can only be said to hover around the passing line, and sometimes there are some mistakes, so according to Leon, if a musician is buried in the Flower Cemetery, then the musician is likely to be angry.

While Leon was commenting, Liu Xing saw a schematic plan of the tomb building on the wall on one side, so Liu Xing got up and walked over.

According to this schematic plan, the cemetery building is divided into four floors, one of which is an underground parking lot and a temporary morgue.

Then there is the ground floor where Liu Xing and the others are now located, in addition to the symphony hall and the cemetery sales office, there is also a restaurant and lounge, as well as a conversation room that looks like an information office from the name.

On the second floor of the ground floor, there is a staff lounge and a back office, as well as a large manager's room.

However, the three floors of the tomb building are on the ground floor, and the entire floor is a living room.

Liu Xing touched his chin and felt that there must be something wrong with the third floor of the tomb sales building, after all, the area of the tomb sales building should be more than 500 square meters, and a place like the cemetery should not need such a large living room.

What's more, there is a "conversation room" with an area of about 20 square meters on the ground floor, which is a normal living room.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the third floor of the tomb building was either a sacrificial venue, or a special gathering place for corpse food cult believers or ghouls.

There is also the manager's room on the second floor, which in Liu Xing's opinion covers too much area, because the manager's room directly occupies nearly one-third of the area on the second floor, which is obviously somewhat unreasonable, unless the manager of the flower cemetery lives directly in the manager's room.

So, there might be something in this manager's room.

As for the basement floor of the cemetery building, Liu Xing thinks there should be no problem, although the usual flow of people in the Flower Cemetery is not too large, but according to Liu Xing's observation, the staff of the Flower Cemetery itself plus the members of the symphony orchestra are dozens of people, and the Flower Cemetery is located in the suburbs of Manchester, and it is not on the public transportation route, so the people who come are basically driving.

As for the existence of the underground morgue, it is also a very normal thing, after all, the family of the deceased who can be buried in the Flower Cemetery must hope that the body of the deceased can remain intact, so the Flower Cemetery needs a morgue to temporarily park the body.

Of course, because the funeral still needs to be admired, Liu Xing thinks that the ghoul should not start feasting in the morgue.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that it was necessary for him to investigate the meeting room on the third floor, the manager's room on the second floor, and the conversation room on the first floor, because these places were likely to hide some important information.

Soon, an hour passed.

The members of the symphony orchestra who finished playing left the concert hall in twos and threes and began to go to the restaurant for breakfast, while Liu Xing and the three of them naturally followed Ms. Margaret.

"I'm sure you've all seen that my orchestra is now demoralized, so I plan to disband this orchestra after a while and go to London to spend my old age." Lady Margaret said with a sigh.

Liu Xing nodded, and asked with some confusion: "By the way, Ms. Margaret, in fact, I had a question I wanted to ask you when I met you yesterday... ”

Before Liu Xing could finish speaking, Ms. Margaret smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask, in fact, although I and your Director House have grown up together, it has always been my unrequited love, because how could Director House like my ugly duckling?" What's more, you should also know that in the era when I was a child, racial discrimination was rampant, although my family's family conditions were good, but I was still subjected to all kinds of discrimination in school, at that time, only House was willing to talk to me and play with me, so I have always regarded House as my hero, especially in my girlhood, I often swore that I would not marry if I was not a house, so you have all seen it now, I am still single, but I have also seen it now, these are not a thing. ”

Liu Xing smiled a little embarrassedly, because the question Liu Xing wanted to ask was not this.

But then again, because Ms. Margaret and Director House are the same age, Liu Xing knows that Ms. Margaret was born in the forties of the twentieth century, when England, as an old empire, was also one of the main countries for the black slave trade, so racial discrimination in England can be said to be very rampant, and has penetrated into all classes and circles in England.

Especially those students who are not yet mentally mature, they are the vanguard of racial discrimination, so Liu Xing can imagine how Ms. Margaret was treated at school and how important Director House was to her.

Just as Liu Xing was wondering if he should ask Ms. Margaret any more questions, Jill helped Liu Xing ask the question he had originally wanted to ask Ms. Margaret, "Ms. Margaret, I also want to ask you a question, that is, why did you accept the invitation of the Flower Cemetery to come to this place with a symphony orchestra to play. ”

Lady Margaret smiled, took out a hundred pounds sterling from her pocket and said: "The answer to this question is very simple, that is one word - money, you must know that if you want to maintain a symphony orchestra, the monthly cost is a lot of money, and the main way for the symphony orchestra to obtain income is to perform, but now people are more inclined to go to pop concerts than to listen to symphony, so the symphony orchestra has become elegant at the same time, but also began to become niche, As a result, a small private symphony orchestra like mine used to receive only three or four invitations to perform a month, and the income was not too high, so before accepting the invitation to the Flower Cemetery, my symphony orchestra was on the verge of disbanding because it could not make ends meet. ”

"I also mentioned to you just now, my family is not bad, because my parents were both well-known black musicians at that time, and the symphony orchestra I am now in charge of was also organized by my parents, so I definitely don't want this symphony orchestra to disband in my hands, so I accepted the invitation to the Flower Cemetery without hesitation, after all, the conditions given by the Flower Cemetery are very good, and I have no reason to refuse at all, but the current symphony orchestra has existed in name only in my eyes, So when I'm done helping you, it's time to disband. ”

Liu Xing felt that Ms. Margaret had set a flag...

Arriving at the dining room of the cemetery sales building, Ms. Margaret said: "The restaurant in the Flower Cemetery is a complete buffet, so you can choose whatever you want to eat, but we have to finish it early, and then I will take you to Jenny to get an official work card, so that you can enter and exit the Flower Cemetery more conveniently." ”

Liu Xing and the others nodded, and casually chose some food for breakfast.

Ten minutes later, Liu Xing and the others followed Lady Margaret to Jenny.

Jenny didn't talk nonsense, and directly took Liu Xing and others to the logistics office on the second floor, and after taking a red-background bareheaded photo one by one, Liu Xing and others sat on the sofa in the corridor and waited for their official work card to be completed.

At this time, Jenny also accompanied Liu Xing and the others to wait outside, because there was a radish and a pit in the logistics office, and there was no extra place.

"Mr. Jenny, I want to ask you a question, that is, why is the manager's room on the second floor so big, does your manager live directly here?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

Jenny frowned, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I don't know much about this, because I'm just an ordinary doorman, and as for the manager, I've never seen it, and I've never been in the manager's room, so I can't answer your question, but after you say this, I also think that the manager may live in the manager's room." ”

Liu Xing nodded silently, he didn't expect that the manager of this flower cemetery was quite mysterious, even the doorman had never seen him, it seemed that this manager might not be an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but look at the door of the manager's room not far away, but there was nothing strange about the manager's room from the outside, except that the door was painted red, which formed a sharp contrast with the white walls around it.

Liu Xing shook his head and looked back at the grave mountain of the Flower Cemetery through the glass.

I have to say that if you ignore the tombstones and the stone walls used to divide them, the grave hill of the Flower Cemetery does look like a good forest park, and the design company hired by the Flower Cemetery is indeed very creative, and even made a man-made river based on the mountain.

This made the Flower Cemetery "live" all at once.

But after all, this is a grave mountain where hundreds of people are buried, so Liu Xing always feels that this grave mountain is full of yin energy, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

When Liu Xing and the others got their official work cards, the free time in the morning had ended, so Liu Xing and the others could only stay in the recital hall with the other symphony orchestra members.

"I think there might be something wrong with the manager's office on the second floor." Leon said as he touched his chin.

Liu Xing nodded, pointed to the plane diagram over there and said: "That's right, the manager's room on the second floor is probably just a disguise, because it stands to reason that the manager's room can't be set up so big, and the manager of the flower cemetery has no reason to live here permanently, not to mention that this manager is also elusive, even the doorman has never seen him, so I suspect that this manager may not be human." ”

"In addition, the parlor on the third floor is too big, it occupies an entire floor, which is obviously a bit abnormal, after all, the area of this parlor is about the same size as the auditorium when I was in elementary school, and the flower cemetery can't always receive hundreds of guests at once." Jill continued.

Leon smiled and said seriously: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, it seems that there are probably some unsavory secrets hidden in these big rooms, maybe Dio is hiding in these big rooms!" ”
