Chapter 1347 The Oldest Detective Novel Fan

Can't hear the song "Scarborough Bazaar" for the time being, and Jared can only put it down for the time being, although he is itching.

Subsequently, Li Fan will talk about Ivador in the concert hall again.

Jared smiled: "Mr. Li Fan is now interested in the day after tomorrow, the detective activity festival?"

Li Fan also smiled: "I went to a few places in Langdun City today, and I became interested." ”

"Oh?" Jared felt a little strange in his heart, he had also told Li Fan about the Detective Festival the day after tomorrow, but Li Fan at that time was not very interested, why was he suddenly so interested now?

So he asked, "Where did Mr. Li Fan go, and why did he become interested in the Detective Festival after going there?"

Li Fan said: "The main thing is to go to a street called Baker Street, and then suddenly have a certain idea. ”

"Baker Street?" Jared nodded, "there's something special about that street. ”

"Oh?" Li Fan was slightly surprised, and said, "Why did Mr. Jared say that street was a little special?"

Listening to the two talking about Shell Street, Su Qing, Qin Yulin, and Tang Ying also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Jared laughs: "Although the street is not long and it is also in the old town, the residential apartments on both sides of the street are still good. But the strange thing is that the people who live there are moving out one after another, and there are no new residents moving in, and the government does not care, as if the street has been forgotten. ”

Li Fan nodded and said, "It's indeed quite strange, but that street is not uninhabited, and it has the only one resident." ”

Jared said, "In this way, Mr. Li Fan should have seen Mr. Jarvis on Baker Street." It's true that there is the only resident on Baker Street, which is why I say Baker Street is a bit special. ”

Li Fan said: "I did see an old man on Shell Street, but I don't know his name, but I think it should be Mr. Jared who said Yalvis." ”

Jared nodded, "An old man, it should be, he should live at 221B Baker Street." ”

Li Fan said: "There is no house number on that street, but I asked the old man, it is indeed number 221B, it seems that Mr. Jared should know him." ”

Jared sighed: "I do know, he is a very kind, but somewhat stubborn person. I guess when you saw him today, he was dealing with scrap. ”

Li Fan was puzzled: "That's true, he was about to take a bag of waste products to sell." Only, how did Mr. Jared know?"

Jared said: "That stubborn old man rarely walks out of the apartment where he lives, except for going out to collect scrap, sell scrap and remittances. ”

"Send money?" Li Fan was puzzled again, and said, "He often goes out to send money? He is an old man who lives alone, why does he often go out to send money?"

Jared sighed again and said, "Do you think he has no financial resources and can only make money by selling scrap?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "Isn't that so?"

Jared said: "It's not true, in fact, he gets a pension of 5,000 blue pounds a month. ”

"A pension of 5,000 blue pounds?" Li Fan was even more surprised, 5,000 blue pounds was not a small amount of money.

You must know that the average white-collar worker in Langdun City has a monthly salary of about 3,000 blue pounds, and the average office worker's salary is only between a few hundred blue pounds and 2,000 blue pounds.

It was indeed very surprising that the old man named Jarvis had a pension of 5,000 blue pounds a month.

Jared said: "Mr. Li Fan is surprised, right? Actually, I am also very surprised, but thinking of his identity, it is normal. ”

Li Fan's heart moved, when he saw the old man during the day today, he felt that the old man did not seem to be an ordinary person.

Now it seems that if this is the case, what kind of identity must the old man have.

Sure enough, Jared continued: "Before his retirement, Mr. Jarvis was the most famous professor in the Department of Biology of Langdun University, and he was also a very famous biologist in our country and an academician of the Academy of Sciences. His pension was paid by the University of Langdon, and why it was so high? I think it was because Mr. Jarvis had made a great contribution to the development of biology at the University. ”

"I see. Li Fan nodded and said: "The identity of the old man is really not simple, it can be said that he is a national treasure." ”

Jared sighed: "It is indeed a national treasure, but it is a pity that they have made great contributions to the country, but when they are old, they are just an unknown old man, and their popularity is not even as good as an ordinary fifth-tier or sixth-tier star, but fortunately, Langdun University and the country have not forgotten him." ”

Li Fan also sighed, this phenomenon is indeed very helpless, many scientists who have made many sacrifices and contributions to the country, but their popularity is not as good as that of an ordinary starlet.

On the Internet, the news of the death of a great national scientist has few comments, and the news of a celebrity's derailment, or the news of which celebrity is in love with which celebrity, has tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more, which has attracted countless netizens.

This phenomenon is true in Lan, China, and other countries in the world, which is indeed helpless.

After sighing, Li Fan said again: "Mr. Jared just said that Mr. Jarvis often goes to send money, is it ......?"

Jared nodded: "Mr. Li Fan's guess is not wrong, Mr. Yalvis donated his monthly pension, a lot of it, anonymously, and his main donation is those poor children in need." By chance, I met Mr. Jarvis and learned that he would send money anonymously every month, and he begged me not to publicize it. What a kind and stubborn old man. ”

Li Fan nodded, he had already guessed it just now, and he couldn't help but feel heartfelt respect in his heart.

Then he smiled and said: "In the eyes of others, Mr. Jarvis's approach may be very stupid, but for Mr. Jarvis himself, he feels very happy, and when I meet him today, I can feel that the old man is living happily." ”

"Perhaps," Jared said, "but he once told me that he wanted to be able to help more people in need, and 5,000 pounds a month was still too little." It's just that he is already old, and there is no way to earn more money. The money he earns from collecting waste is enough for him to live alone. When he said this, I could feel the unwillingness and regret in his heart. ”

"What about his family, does he have no children?" Qin Yulin said suddenly.

Jared shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I also asked him before, but he just smiled and didn't say." However, I suspect that there should be children, but that stubborn old man likes to live alone on Baker Street. ”

"Okay. Qin Yulin said.

"Oh, yes. Jared seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Mr. Yalvis seems to be very interested in detectives, and is a detective fan. God knows if he is the oldest detective fan in our country? Also, it is absolutely a miracle that he is in his 70s and reads newspapers and magazines without wearing glasses. ”

"Like detectives?" Li Fan was slightly surprised again, it was indeed a different old man.

Then he said: "Since he likes detectives, then the day after tomorrow, he shouldn't go to the Detective Festival, right?"

Jared said, "Who knows, but it's possible." ”

Li Fan nodded, thoughtful.
