Why is it that at the end of the year, there are so many abnormal people and abnormal things that I have encountered?
Chen Muwu felt that maybe he was not normal, and his brain was watt, so he thought about running to Doyle's house and encouraging him to announce this amazing news through the mouth of a psychic medium, so as to get a hush money.
Now that he revisited it, Chen Muwu felt that he should tell Doyle directly that he was indeed a psychic medium with great powers, but because it was inconvenient to reveal his identity, he revealed the news to him, hoping to pass it on to the outside world through his mouth.
Only in this way will we not get into such big trouble as we are today.
But if you do that in the first place, you will face another problem.
That is, Doyle may not give him money because of this, unless Chen Muwu opens his mouth to ask for it.
However, he wants to save face, and he will never be able to open his mouth.
So no matter what, it was hard for him to get a sum of money from Doyle.
Chen Muwu now finally realizes what a big mistake he has made.
It seems that he should not have been involved in this matter in the first place, it is a trivial matter to make money or not, but there will definitely not be such a situation as it is now.
Regardless of all the rumors outside, let's just say that Huxley, who has ardent expectations in his eyes, is not having a good time with Chen Muwu now.
According to the course of historical development, the Duke of York will definitely become the king of England in the end, but not now, and he will have to wait for another ten years.
But Huxley in front of him was a little too impatient and extreme, and he wanted the current king George V to take control of Bintian immediately, and then immediately announced the exile of Crown Prince Edward and the enthronement of Prince Albert as king.
As for him to put the hat of a great magician like Merlin on himself because he can prophesy, Chen Muwu can't accept it even if he is killed.
So at first, as he explained to reporters, he said that he didn't know spiritism at all, and he was able to point out that the pseudonym Agatha used when she stayed at the hotel was entirely the result of the brain's reasoning like Sherlock Holmes's, and the blind cat met the dead mouse.
But this explanation, which has already appeared in the newspapers, is obviously not very convincing to Huxley.
The latter had a "I understand" expression, as if he had misunderstood something:
Dr. Chan must not want to reveal his hidden identity in front of the news media, which is why he deliberately said this.
And Sir Doyle is a little old and confused when he is old, so he did such a ridiculous thing as revealing Chen Muwu's true identity to the media.
Seeing that his explanation had no effect, Chen Muwu had no choice but to burst his vest in front of Huxley, a person who could be regarded as a friend.
Of course, his so-called popping vest is not to admit to the other party that he is a "traverser", but to refer to something else.
"Professor Huxley, what I am going to say to you next, I hope you will keep it a secret for me."
Hearing this, Huxley, who was sitting in the chair, straightened up at once, and once again misunderstood what his master meant, thinking that he was going to hear something "unexpected and reasonable" next.
"Dr. Chen, please rest assured, I will definitely keep it a secret."
"Professor Huxley, first of all, I have to continue to state my previous opinion, and even vouch for my personality that I myself do not know any spiritism at all, and the reason why I can come to the correct conclusion crookedly is entirely the result of thinking and reasoning by the brain.
"But at the same time, I also admit that what I just told you, and what I said to the media a day ago, did withhold some information.
"Not only am I a big reader of Sir Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series, but I'm also a detective creator. I don't know if you have read the very famous George Chen a few years ago? I'm the author of that series of detectives. ”
As Chen Muwu finished speaking, the expression on Huxley's face changed from excitement to a complete loss.
But when he heard the last words of the words, he was suddenly startled again.
George Chen? Chen Muwu?
Surprised, Huxley thought about it more and more reasonably.
Since the George Chen series became popular all over the UK and even in English-speaking countries, the character setting of the protagonist George Chen has always been talked about.
Everyone always has reasonable suspicions that because Cambridge University produced a genius Chinese international student Chen Muwu, Chandler, an originally unknown writer, gained popularity, and used Chen Muwu as the prototype to create a George Chen in China:
Both of them came from China in the Far East, and both were international students at Cambridge University, and they were both extremely smart.
Now that Chen Muwu said that he is not only the prototype of George Chen, but also the author of this series of detectives, Huxley feels more reasonable.
Even if the George Chen series is indeed well written and indeed a bestseller, it is still not enough to invite Conan Doyle, who has been sealed for many years, to come out and write an article on the linkage between Sherlock Holmes and George Chen, so that one of the smartest Englishmen among the detectives will endorse the smartest Chinese.
But now that Chen Muwu suddenly blew himself up, and then thought of the relationship between him and Sir Doyle, this inexplicable linkage between Sherlock Holmes and George Chen suddenly became reasonable.
Huxley had only read some of the most popular detectives when he was bored, and he was not a big reader of Sherlock Holmes or George Chan.
But there is a die-hard fan of George Chen's series around him, this person is not an outsider, it is the link that can connect him and Chen Muwu, the mutual friend of the two of them, the main reason why he hurried to Cambridge this time, the Duke of York.
Since Ye Gongchao returned to his hometown, Chen Muwu couldn't find a suitable knife catcher, and the update speed of Chen George's series immediately stagnated.
Although Penguin Press promptly launched a rookie female writer Agatha to come to the rescue, a group of readers who have long accumulated in the George Chen series still complain about such a good book suddenly breaking off without warning.
The Duke of York was also very dissatisfied with this matter, and he even used his connections to go to Penguin Press to ask who the author was, but he didn't expect that the other party was tight-lipped and would not let go even if the nobles came.
There's no way, and all of a sudden, it's not updated, and it feels like there's an ant crawling on it.
The Duke of York could only order those around him to deliver any of Chandler's works to him as soon as possible.
"Uh, I, I'd like to ask, Dr. Chen, if there's anything new lately, of course, I'm talking about detectives, not on your academic research."
Huxley suddenly asked about Chen Muwu's latest work, and added the last sentence, which was because there was a lesson from the past.
More than 60 years ago, in 1865, a fairy tale book suddenly appeared on the British market, called "Alice in Wonderland".
The book tells the story of a little girl named Alice, who goes through various adventures in a magical country after falling down the rabbit hole in pursuit of a talking rabbit with a pocket watch.
At that time, the head of state of Britain was still Queen Victoria.
Her Majesty liked Alice's Adventures in Wonderland so much that she instructed the royal servants on her left and right to send her a new book as soon as the author of the book was to write a new book.
The servants of the royal family are loyal to Her Majesty and are even more responsive to Victoria's requests.
So, it didn't take long for Queen Victoria to receive her favorite author, Lewis Carroll's latest book, A Basic Discourse on Determinants.
In addition to being a fairy tale writer, Carol also has another identity, being a mathematics teacher at Christ's College, Oxford.
The name Lewis Carroll is actually a pen name, which he obtained by transcribing his real name, Charles Lutwich, into Latin, transposing and then retranslating it.
Although Carol denied that this incident had actually happened, everyone kept talking about it.
Huxley knew that the Duke of York had always been thinking about the new books of the George Chen series, who would have thought that this George Chen was not only the prototype of Chen Muwu, but even the author was Chen Muwu.
The story between Queen Victoria and Carol is about to become a reality at the Duke of York.
If he really brought a copy of "Lectures on Quantum Mechanics" published by Cambridge University Press to the Duke of York, and said that it was a new book by the author of the George Chen series, Huxley thought that the picture was too beautiful.
Although the Duke of York is also nominally a graduate of Trinity College, can he really understand Chen Muwu's latest magnum opus? Huxley had no hope for this.
"Oh, you said the new book, yes, yes, but the manuscript is not with me, it has already been handed over to the publisher. I guess it won't be long before it can be published, right? ”
Penguin Press has indeed dragged on for too long, and it is not appropriate not to give an explanation to the majority of readers.
So when he returned to China not long ago, he dealt with all kinds of things, including picking up a new wool from Ye Gongchao, "ABC Murder".
George Chen's new book series, of course, he will not take the trouble to choose to write it himself, and provide a very good idea, which is already very laborious, okay?
This time when he came to Cambridge University, Huxley did not get the result he wanted, but exposed one of Chen Muwu's vests.
Before leaving, he asked again with great reluctance: "Dr. Chen, aren't you really a psychic?" Is it really possible for His Royal Highness the Duke of York to ascend to the position of King of England? ”
Looking at the hardcore Second Prince Party in front of him, Chen Muwu was very helpless.
But the first bottom line after he crossed over was that he should never tell others the truth that he was a time-traveler.
Even his own family and Eve Chen Muwu couldn't say it, let alone Huxley in front of him.
He suddenly thought of a once popular lyric, and quoted this sentence as his answer: "I will find it in the future, and time will give you the answer." ”
Chen Muwu, who sang "My Skateboard Shoes" to send Huxley away, felt that because of the big man he poked out, it was not appropriate to stay at Cambridge University for a long time.
Anyway, Christmas and New Year were approaching, so he might as well leave England for a while and take refuge elsewhere.
There are two options in front of Chen Muwu, one is to take a boat north to Sweden to see what is going on with the school that will be completed next year.
But there are two obstacles to this choice, one is that the Swedish crown prince, who is on a global tour, has just left Ben and arrived in the United States, he is not in Sweden, and Chen Muwu has few acquaintances in that country.
The second is that Chen Muwu is seasick, although he can go directly to Sweden by land, it is far less convenient than going to sea directly from Norwich.
In the end, he finally decided to give up going to Sweden and go to Paris closer to him.
Although the traditional custom of the Chinese people is that newlyweds should not meet before getting married.
But after all, this is France, for Chen Muwu, don't be so old and stubborn, it's not impossible to follow the local customs.
Oppenheimer took advantage of the holiday to return to the United States for Christmas, but Chen Muwu still had no shortage of travel companions.
As long as he is willing to spend money, he can take Capitsa to accompany him to France, and he can also be honored as "stepfather" by this Russian whose girlfriend is in France but has little money.
Even on the way to France, Chen Muwu, who "fled" in a hurry, could not escape the teasing and ridicule of his good friend Capitsa.
"Great psychic, since you have superb spiritual power, why didn't you expect that you would be so embarrassed now?"
In the face of Kapitsa's yin and yang weirdness, Chen Muwu really wanted to kick him off the ship that crossed the English Channel.
"First, you're a physicist.
"Second, you are a physicist from a redist country.
"Anyone can believe this nonsense, but you can't!"
"Hehe, I just think it's funny, why are you going to provoke the reporters of those British newspapers?
"The most uncomfortable thing now is not you who have run out, I think it is the old crocodile who is still in Cambridge. If the reporters couldn't find anyone, they would definitely interview him and ask him how he had come up with such a stick student. ”
Kapitsa was right, Chen Muwu not only got himself in trouble this time, but also brought Rutherford, Cavendish Laboratories, and the entire Cambridge University.
It is estimated that the school superintendent Balfort must be secretly happy in his heart now.
Unless there is a big news in the UK or the world, which exceeds the popularity of the fake news that Chen Muwu knows spiritism, can the bored British people be attracted by new things and forget the conspicuous bag of Chen Muwu.
Obviously, the news of the death of the mentally ill Emperor Taisho and the accession of the new Emperor Hirohito, far away from Eurasia, was not enough to cause much heat in Britain.
At most, the embassy in London will lower the flag at half-mast in mourning, and the Foreign Office will send a minister over to go through the motions.
Because it was a temporary trip, there was no prior notice, so De Broglie did not make preparations for Chen Muwu's arrival.
Although he was very busy, De Broglie still arranged an itinerary for Chen Muwu to pass the time: follow him to the French Academy of Sciences and participate in the year-end summary meeting of the Academy of Sciences.
So on the last day of 1926, Chen Muwu, who appeared in the spectators, personally witnessed a funny scene in the French Academy of Sciences:
These academicians voted to the final vote of 8 to 5 to declare the adoption of the question "Do animals have souls?"
With Chen Muwu, a great psychic, as a witness, this issue seems to be more justified and more confident.
This was the case with the state of science at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The French Academy of Sciences is real, but the reference is a Chicago newspaper, which is much harder to find than the New York Times, and I didn't find a book shadow.
(Yesterday I pushed the book and cut it.,Just after pushing it, I did it.,This backstab is really awesome)
