Chapter 70: Old Horse, Old Horse......
"During the time you were in contact with Count Dracula, something was wrong." "A private villa on Park Road in the northeast corner of Hyde Park has been damaged and has been reduced to rubble," said Holmes, holding a copy of the text from Scotland Yard. ā
"What do you mean...... Did Count Dracula put his coffin there? Professor Van Helsing asked Holmes.
"From the point of view of intelligence, it should indeed be there." Holmes nodded, "Mr. Huck, you went to Romania to deal with some of the earl's real estate formalities in London, do you have any influence there?" ā
Jonathan frowned slightly and recalled for a moment, before finally he seemed to remember something and said: "Indeed, it seems that the document given to me by the office at that time really recorded that Dracula had a property on Park Road next to Hyde Park, and I wondered how a Romanian nobleman could own so much real estate in London...... For an immortal vampire, wealth is nothing......"
āā¦ā¦ Next to Hyde Park is Westminster Abbey (Westminster Abbey), and the earl actually placed his coffin nearby, next to the graves of many kings of England and Darwin Newton......" Professor Van Helsing sighed for a moment, and continued, "It seems that we still need to go there to confirm the situation again, and we can't let the 'ghosts' fill in the mess more." ā
"Hyde Park?" Ma Shuangcheng heard the name and seemed to remember something, "Why do I think this place is so familiar......
"You mean that famous lecture corner in Hyde Park?" Linn asked.
Ma Shuangcheng nodded hesitantly: "It seems to be that......"
"Ahem." Li Wuxian coughed dryly at this time, interrupted Ma Shuangcheng's words and said, "The speech at Marx's tomb ......"
"Marx's Tomb!" When Ma Shuangcheng heard this, he immediately recalled the text he learned in high school, "Is Marx buried in Hyde Park?" ā
"It's 1897...... It was only 14 years since Marx's death, and most people may remember that Marx was buried in Highgate Cemetery, but that was the place after the relocation in 1956. Li Wuxian showed a look of admiration on his face, "Now...... Marx is indeed still buried in Hyde Park...... Captain Ma, I think it is necessary for us to go to Hyde Park as well, and at least to sweep the grave of Comrade Marx. ā
"We have to go to Hyde Park...... Ma Shuangcheng looked helplessly at the young revolutionary in front of him, "but to sweep the grave or something...... Let's see if there is a chance, after all, we are here to do the mission, not to remember the martyrs......"
Then they spoke to Professor Van Helsing, and accompanied Professor Van Helsing, who needed to go to the parkroad outside Hyde Park to confirm the situation, and set off with Sherlock Holmes.
Although Holmes brought the news that the villa had been burned to ashes, it was only when they got there that everyone realized that it was not just burned down, that it seemed that something had been planted under the villa, and that the whole street was covered with flying rubble.
The Scottish Yard police officer, who sealed off the wreckage of the villa, also told Holmes with an ugly face that shortly after the destruction of the villa, a swarm of bats appeared there in broad daylight, and at least dozens of nearby residents were dried by the bats.
"Looks really bad...... After confirming the situation, Professor Van Helsing and Holmes proposed to the police officers to gather all the corpses, pour holy water and then quickly cremate them, although in Count Dracula's taste, he doesn't seem to like making ghouls, but if there is any accident, the ghouls from Dracula are definitely not comparable to the ones they faced before.
"If it's really just the loss of these dozens of people...... It can only be said that it is a fluke. Professor Van Helsing said to the others, "I believe that Count Dracula has already clashed with the 'Ghost', and it is unclear how much blood he will need to replenish his power...... Sherlock, you've been investigating that Professor Moriarty all this time, and if you have any information, you have to provide it, and no one knows what will happen if you let it go like this. ā
"The 'ghost' is very hidden." Holmes shook his head lightly and said, "Ever since I found out that even Scotland Yard and the Upper and Lower Councils have traces of their power, I have come to know that if I rely on the strength of others, I may not be able to catch their traces at all. I'm also analyzing all the information about the events they have caused in the past ten years, hoping to find their hiding place in the next day or two. ā
Holmes then continued to look for any other clues in the ruins of the villa, and Professor Van Helsing decided to go back and talk to Richard and Adrian about Jonathan's ability to find out where the Count would be by recalling the real estate that Count Dracula had purchased in London.
Originally, Li Wuxian specially brought yƬ to the team that came to Hyde Park, and at Li Wuxian's strong request, he temporarily talked to Professor Van Helsing, and took advantage of the fact that a few people could not help for a while, to take a look at Marx's grave.
Although Ma Shuangcheng had said in advance that he would not necessarily go to Marx's tomb, before a few people left the Helsing Mansion with Professor Van Helsing, Li Wuxian had already asked for a bouquet of flowers from the maid in the mansion, and seeing him carefully holding the bouquet, several people also knew that this young man would be very sad if he didn't go.
After leaving Park Road and entering Hyde Park, Li Wuxian took the initiative to inquire about the location of Marx's tomb from the visitors in the park, and then it took less than half an hour for them to find Marx's tomb in a corner of the park.
"Just take a look." Ma Shuangcheng said that although he also respected the proletarian mentor, he knew better that this was a mission space after all, not a British independent tour group.
Standing in front of Marx's tomb, Li Wuxian first bowed deeply, and then carefully placed the bouquet in his hand in front of the tombstone.
"Xiao Li, your sincerity is too insufficient." Zhu Jue also walked to the tombstone and patted Li Wuxian's shoulder, "What do you think Lao Ma wants to see most after he dies here?" Is it just a bouquet of flowers? ā
Li Wuxian nodded solemnly: "Hmm...... Failure to see the proletarians who are really masters of their own affairs is also unwilling to compare with Mr. Marx. ā
"These are all fictions, and I think it's better to have something substantial to commemorate him." After Zhu Jue finished speaking, he squatted in front of the tombstone, "I have long thought of your lack of preparation, so it's better to look at me." ā
Zhu Jue took out a stack of paper money, a small pile of gold-lacquered paper ingots, a hand-folded villa car, and a little girl's paper doll with anxious painting skills and placed it in front of the tombstone.
"Old Ma, you have lived a really hard life in this life, and it is really worthless to die!" Zhu Jue said as he lit the mess with a lighter, "Burn some paper money for you, you can buy whatever you want below, and there is also a car villa where I am filial to you, and I have to come up with a little bit of pie below." And these little Lori, I also burned them to you.,These are fostered by you.,You must take care of them.,I'll pick them up when I go down that day.ć ā
āā¦ā¦ You burn paper money for materialist revolutionaries!? Linn couldn't believe what she was seeing, "And where did you get all this stuff?" ā
"I heard that I was going to come to worship the old horse, so I made these out of paper in advance." Zhu Jue said, "The old horse died so miserably, I have to worship him well." ā
Ma Shuangcheng's face was not very good-looking: "Why do I think I have been shot when I hear you say this......
Li Wuxian also said on the side: "I wish ...... Commissars, we Marxists...... Is it necessary to burn paper money so feudal superstition? ā
"Even vampires and werewolves are running all over the streets, so it's nothing to burn some paper money......," Zhu Jue said, "And if the following is also a place where class contradictions are more violent, aren't I also providing revolutionary funds for Lao Ma, come, Xiao Li, you can also burn some." ā
Just when Zhu Jue was burning paper money for Marx with a serious face, a few more people came to this corner, and the middle-aged man led by him looked at the scene in front of him and sneered,
"Ridiculous...... Are even Marxists doing worship......"
