The Story of the Seventh World (25)

Newspapers are the representative of the media of the times, and people see it as a daily law of life like eating and drinking water every day. Part of it is used to entertain life and activate oneself.

"Drink pure brandy, your Excellency is more vigorous than you express!" While reading the contents of the newspaper in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the soldier on the opposite side spoke.

"Are you talking about me?" Su Hang heard the voice of the other side, put down the newspaper and asked.

"It looks like it's just the two of us at this table." The soldier looked at the young man in front of him and said.

"Sir, this is the meal you ordered." At this moment, the waitress held the drink ordered by the military man on a plate and said to him.

"Okay." The soldier casually took out a £10 note from his jacket pocket and put it on the plate, waving his hand to indicate that it was okay.

The waitress looked happy, bowed slightly to the soldiers, and turned to leave.

Seeing this scene, Su Hang thought, rich man! The food and drink didn't even add up to £5, and I threw out £10 and sent the waiter away, which is a tip!

In this war-torn era, a few pennies are relatively good for the poor, usually 5 pounds is enough for a week's ration for a family of five, and the average soldier's allowance is only 20 pounds a month (Corporal Lynn chatted and heard), but this one casually threw out 10 pounds! Are officers so rich? A big question mark rose in Su Hang's heart.

However, Su Hang did not ask the soldiers on the other side, and asked the other party that the officers were so rich, which was very impolite and rude.

"Fierce? Why? ”

Su Hang continued the soldier's words just now and asked.

"You look at your temperament and are relatively elegant, but the wine you drink is this kind of spirit." The soldier said.

"That can only mean that you have been deceived by my appearance, and I don't care how strong the wine is."

"Tasting different wines is like experiencing different lives and feeling different tastes." Su Hang looked at the golden and clear brandy in the cup on the table.

"I'm not old, but I don't have a lot of insights into life!" The middle-aged man didn't expect such words to come out of Su Hang's mouth.

Just when Su Hang was chatting with the British soldiers, sporadic snowflakes fell in the sky outside the window, fell on the windowsill, and disappeared almost instantly.

Almost as soon as the snow was discovered, most of the conversation in the recreation area began to change to the weather in London, and the recreation area suddenly seemed to be lively, and it was no longer as quiet as before.

"It's damn weather, it's annoying!"

"This damn weather will make the hallway full of footprints."

"On the way back, the road will become difficult to walk, even if you drive back." People were talking about the sudden snow outside, worrying about the damn weather.

"The weather in London is so unpredictable!" Influenced by the people in the leisure area, the topic of Su Hang also turned to the weather, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window and saying to the middle-aged man.

"It's not surprising at all in London, the weather changes and people talk a lot about it, just like it is now." The British soldier looked at the people in the recreation area.

"I've already felt the weather in London!" Su Hang took a sip of cherry brandy and said.

The British soldier and Su Hang finished the scones on the table while talking. Looks like I didn't have enough for dinner, so I came here to find supper!

"Captain, we've been talking for so long, I still don't know what your name is?" Su Hang looked at the officer opposite, his epaulettes had three four-pointed stars on them, which meant that there was a captain officer sitting opposite.

"Captain Bernard, that's what they call me." The middle-aged soldier looked at several soldiers who were drinking at the bar.

"Then I'll call you Captain Bernard." Su Hang said, the other party didn't say his name, obviously didn't want to say it, and Su Hang didn't care.

"Captain Bernard, do you live in London?"

"Yes, but rarely back."

"What is the title of sir?"

"Su Hang."

"You're Asian?"

"No, it can only be regarded as having Asian ancestry."

"Asia is a continent with a lot of unique cultures, and I love to be there. I heard that the weather there is great! Captain Bernard said, looking out the window.

"If I have the chance, I'd be happy to travel with the captain in Asia." Su Hang said with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you next time." Captain Bernard stood up and said again, "I'm leaving, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye!"

Su Hang saw Captain Bernard leave at the door of the recreation area with a young British man in a black suit and the soldiers at the bar.

Su Hang sat alone for a while, read the newspaper for a while, and returned to the room.

Su Hang, who returned to the room, under the influence of alcohol, soon swept over, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and from time to time flashed in his mind was a small ship sailing on the sea, and the sail was painted with an envoy staff entwined by a python, and people who were familiar with this ship called it Hermes.

The Hermes has appeared in his dreams from time to time since he woke up, and Su Hang knows the reason why this ship is where Aldrich lived when he was a child. Aldrich's father and several classmates were introduced to buy a former military obsolete cargo ship, which was later refurbished and became the Hermes that later sailed on the sea.

The significance of this ship to Suzhou and Hangzhou is profound, not only the place where he has lived, but also the sustenance of family affection. Su Hang and Aldrich are already one person, the memories and experiences of both sides are combined, and even the personality and hobbies are attributed to one person, which is also the reason why Su Hang empathizes, after all, this world is divided according to the priority, Aldrich is the master, and Su Hang is the guest.

But since "rebirth", the name Su Hang is unfamiliar to this world, and now in order to forget his relatives who disappeared due to shipwreck, he wants to change his name and start over, and he is not entangled in the past.

Some people may ask, why did Suzhou and Hangzhou, who have money, not look for their relatives who are alive under the shipwreck, no one knows whether they can survive an accident on the sea, and in the rough and unfathomable sea, even if they survive, they don't know where they will go along the sea.

The Virgin Islands are between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and the closer to the archipelago, there is a large area of bright reefs and reefs, like Su Hang was lucky to be stuck between the reefs and not swallowed by the sea, but he was lucky enough to be saved by a kind person like Yaheng, but not everyone can be as lucky as Su Hang, Su Hang asked Yaheng if there were other people or other things in the place where he saved himself, but he didn't find anything.

There may be people on board the Hermes who survived, but that doesn't mean they're in London! It is more likely that he was not in England but was rescued by ships from other countries passing by and sent to other countries around him, among the people that Su and Hangzhou know now, except for Dean Charles, who has the ability to investigate most of the United Kingdom, no one else can help him, but the two people who have met once in total, why will they help you if they have nothing to do with each other?

However, Yaheng still helped Su Hang inquire about the news among his friends, which is why Su Hang insisted on investigating Yaheng's injury, because he really owed too much to the other party.

However, Su Hang will not hang himself from a tree, and in the past few days of casual conversation with Corporal Lynn, Su Hang intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the anecdotes when visiting various countries, which more or less mentioned his family and Hermes-related things. I believe that these news may have reached the ears of Dean Charles!

For his appearance, it is impossible not to have doubts about his son who saved his son with Yaheng, and it happened that he met and saved each other during that time period, plus his identity is a mystery, it is impossible not to investigate, Corporal Lynn followed Su Hang and Yaheng to London City for so long this time, if you don't want to detect your own news, I'm afraid even the corporal himself won't believe it.

Just using them to help me investigate, but it is much more effective than searching for half a day by myself. But it is inevitable that I still think about everyone on the Hermes in my heart, as the so-called "thinking about it every day and dreaming at night", which caused Su Hang to dream of them in his dreams from time to time. Su Hang told Corporal Lynn, who was sitting on the side and reading the Bible, about the possibility that Su Hang proposed, Corporal Lynn said with skepticism: "How is it possible? John's character, as you said, is not that kind of complicated person! ”

Su Hang looked at Corporal Lynn and said slowly: "Cororal, you forgot, it's not just John who knows about this gemstone necklace!" ”

Corporal Lynn listened to Su Hang's words, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Lady Beverly! ”

"The picture hanging on the second floor of the shop at least confirms that Lady Beverly knows about the gemstone necklace."

"Through Inspector Upton's recollections, we learn that Lady Beverly is a beautiful and intelligent woman, and that such an intelligent woman of ice and snow would not know the value of this necklace?"

"Since the couple has decided to leave behind this amazingly valuable and dangerous thing, how can they not prepare!"

"If Lady Beverly had a conservation plan for Mr. John before she died, it would not be surprising that this increasingly troublesome mystery was solved." Su Hang informed Corporal Lynn of the possibility of his association.

Corporal Lynn can't confirm Su Hang's speculation, except for John, who is in a coma, no one can confirm it so far, but it's very likely!

Su Hang found that the position of the English between the second and third pages was biased towards the second page, but the skewed position was not large, and it could not be found if I did not pay attention. With a new discovery, Su Hang made the same discovery in turn between the pages marked with English on several other pages.

The next five letters correspond to the five numbers 4, 7, 8, 11, and 12.

The position of the words on the several Bibles in Su Hang's hand is also the same as the one handed over to Inspector Upton, and then it is simple, Su Hang and Corporal Lynn correspond to the number of lines and word positions relative to the word positions on each Bible to determine the number.

The word 'sacred' is found in the fifth word in the first line, then the eleventh word in the fourth line, the eighth word in the eighth line, the seven words in the twelfth line, and the seventeenth line with one word.

Three sets of numbers: 4, 7, 8, 11, 12 (notebook bias for pages)

:1,4,8,12,17

:5,11,8,7,1

Su Hang summed up the numbers and wrote them down on a sticky note found on the table in the living room.

Su Hang handed the note with the number written on it to Corporal Lynn, and he went to refill the teacup that had bottomed out.

"What do these numbers represent?" Corporal Lynn took the note handed over by Su Hang and looked at it and asked.

Su Hang returned to the sofa with a newly refilled teacup, and did not answer Corporal Lynn's words for the first time, but picked up the telephone microphone placed on the sideboard of the sofa, and dialed the turntable (rotary dial automatic telephone), after hearing the inquiry from the opposite side, Su Hang said: "This is room 2111, a pot of jasmine black tea." (There is no teapot in the hotel room, and the service staff will be notified by phone in the room to deliver it.) )

"Okay, please wait!" The crisp voice on the other side of the phone came and hung up.

"Corporal, what did you just say?" After Su Hang put down the microphone, he sat back in his original position and asked.

"What do these numbers represent?" Corporal Lynn took a deep breath to calm himself down and spoke again.

"We just guessed that this fan was set up by Mrs. Beverly, and through Inspector Upton's introduction yesterday, we can know that Mrs. Beverly is very good at physical chemistry, so the math will not be much worse."

"These three sets of numbers are arranged in a variety of ways, and nine times out of ten we are close to the ruby necklace." Su Hang looked at Corporal Lynn and said.

"You're saying that this set of numbers can find ruby necklaces?" Corporal Lynn said with a little excitement.

"There's a big possibility!" Su Hang didn't dare to say too much, so as not to slap his face.

Hearing this, Corporal Lynn picked up the sticky notes on the table again, looked at them intently with big eyes, and his concentrated appearance was a little funny in Su Hang's opinion!

It's been a while since I've been together, and it's the first time I've seen Corporal Lynn so engrossed, and the temptation of this gemstone necklace is really unusual!

With Corporal Lynn looking at it so attentively, it seems that he can't intervene! I picked up the Catholic version of the Bible on the table and flipped through it.

It is worth mentioning that when the waiter brought Jasmine tea, Corporal Lynn did not react, holding his breath and holding his breath to write and draw on a blank sticky note.

Butts Hospital

There were all kinds of people passing in front of the hospital, and occasionally a few people in ordinary clothes would stop at the entrance of the hospital for a short while, or chatting, or inadvertently dusting the dust, but in short, they all had one thing in common, that is, their attention converged on Butz Hospital

and the people around them.

This is not only the front entrance of the hospital, but also the side and back doors of the hospital, these people do not stay for a long time, only ten or dozens of minutes before leaving, in the bustling streets really do not attract people's attention, such people appear every day in the streets of the city of London, there is no point to attract people's attention.
