Chapter 1647 frog&fog(thirty-five)

The French love to run, so it doesn't seem strange that Alessandro, who once played for the school football team, was running while exploring the Parc de Montsouri.

From the satellite image, Monsouri Park is just a green space. However, except for the mental hospital that is not open to outsiders, the park is actually a flat-topped mountain. Inside the flat-topped mountain is an underground palace hidden, which is composed of thousands of columns.

Supported by the vault, there is crystal clear water glowing with blue light.

This place is the Montsouri Reservoir, which contains enough purified water to provide drinking water for a quarter of Parisians. The person responsible for designing this reservoir is Eugène Bergrand, who is also the designer of the Saint-Martin Canal Underground Museum.

While Haussmann was designing the above-ground buildings, Bergrand was responsible for building aqueducts and reservoirs to introduce springs and river water into Paris to rid Parisians of the threat of cholera.

The huge underground system designed by Bergrand became the main exhibit at the Paris International Exposition in 1867, and the scale, complexity and cost of the Montsourie Reservoir were considered the highest in the late 19th century. It was excavated in 1868

, it took five years to complete. At that time, the empire of Napoleon III was already in turmoil. Originally, Bergeron wanted to use this reservoir as a new exhibit to show to the guests attending the World Expo. It would not be used after the end of the Second Empire.

After all, the Third Republic that took over continued to allocate funds to build the reservoir for practical purposes. Of course, it was not as grand as Bergrand's original design, but even the "rough" was amazing enough.

Below the reservoir is the ancient Capucine quarry. The stone used to build Notre Dame de Paris was quarried from this quarry. Both the quarry and the reservoir are open to the public. Alejandro went in to visit and quarried the stone.

There are display stands displaying stones from different strata. For example, the Monsouri Reservoir, which is shaped like the interior of a cathedral, is also known as the "Water Storage Temple."

People like the glamorous Paris now, but they are very opposed to Haussmann as a reformer. Before the Franco-Prussian War, Napoleon III could continue to support Haussmann's reform despite pressure. After the Franco-Prussian War broke out, his team was disbanded by Napoleon III in 1870.

But those projects were still continuing in 1927, and today's central Paris and its unique appearance after receiving planning are all the result of Haussmann's transformation.

Theoretically, if the stone for Notre Dame was quarried from the Capucine quarry, then the fountain in front of Notre Dame should also come from the same place.

However, some people say that the sculpture of Mr. Gray was originally a stone pillar in a shopping street. No one knows who he is. We can only see a snake beside him. Some people say that it is the boundary stone of Rome. If this is true, then this piece

The stone for the statues and fountains was probably brought from Rome.

The fact that the Egyptian pyramids now look dilapidated is not entirely due to weathering. Since ancient times, people have removed the stones from the pyramids for use in the construction of contemporary buildings. In 1748, when the authorities decided to expand the square, this sculpture was demolished along with many surrounding buildings.

Well, it was the time of the War for the Austrian Throne, and Louis XV was doing major renovations in the city while fighting the war.

Shortly after the fountain was demolished, around 1750, a bizarre case of missing children occurred in Paris. If the dissatisfaction and complaints of Paris citizens against Louis XV's laziness and selfishness in the 1940s were still verbal and formal, the case of missing children

This led the citizens to embark on the path of rebellion.

One year before the series of crimes occurred, that is, the War for the Austrian Throne ended in 1749. Although the sons of Parisian craftsmen did not have kingdoms to inherit like those nobles, their parents still loved them.

These kidnappers are so strange. They neither kidnap the sons of rich people for ransom nor kidnap street children, but they kidnap the sons of saddlers, shoemakers and shop workers. If they really want pure blood to treat lepers,

The same goes for little girls, but there are still only a few kidnapped girls.

The "Holy Infant" in the Holy Infant Cemetery comes from a biblical story. One day King Herod had a dream. He secretly summoned the wise men and asked carefully when the star of salvation would appear. Then he sent people to Bethlehem and asked them to carefully search for the child.

, and reported the news when they found it. The wise men went, and later they saw a star guiding them in front of them, and they did not stop until they reached the stable.

At this time, the wise men saw a newly born child. His father, Joseph, was a carpenter. The wise men gave him a lot of gold, frankincense, and myrrh as gifts.

On the way back, the wise men dreamed not to go back to see King Herod, but Joseph dreamed that they wanted him to take his child and wife and flee to Egypt to live there. Joseph got up that night and took the child and his mother with him.

Rush to Egypt.

There was also a man named Moses in ancient Egypt. At that time, the Pharaoh ordered the midwives that as long as the mother gave birth to a boy, she would be killed, while the girl could live. After giving birth to him, Moses’ mother put him in a basket and asked him to

He drifted in the Nile River and was later discovered by an Egyptian princess taking a bath, who adopted him as her adopted son.

When King Herod found out that the wise men had not returned for a long time, he was furious and ordered that all boys under the age of two in Bethlehem be executed.

The king is like this. As long as he thinks that person threatens his rule, he will kill even a child. Legend has it that Li Shimin heard a prophecy that a woman with martial arts would usurp his dynasty, so he moved the empire to death.

All the girls named Wu were killed, even a man named Wuniang was not spared.

Finally, under the persuasion of the prophet, Li Shimin gave up the pursuit of the girl named Wu, and the girl who was lucky enough to survive later became Wu Zetian, the queen of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

Napoleon was not born in 1750, and his father, Charles Bonaparte, was only a little over four years old. If Charles Bonaparte had been kidnapped at that time, and his body was not seen alive or dead, he would still encounter

Will Letizia give birth to Napoleon again?

However, Charles Bonaparte was not in Paris at that time. He was in Ajaccio, Corsica. His parents were not craftsmen in Paris. The ages of the victims were mainly between 11 and 12 years old. In Corsica

The Bonaparte family was a minor aristocracy. When they arrived in Paris, they were middle-class people at best. They were just like these harness and shoe repairmen. At first, the Paris police suspected that these children were abducted by a gang of teenagers. Most parents would tell their children not to

He casually went with strangers without warning them not to go with his "brothers and sisters".

The oldest of these young criminals is 20 years old and the youngest is only 9 years old. They have been involved in human life cases at a young age.

The children arrested by the police are below this age, but the social identity of these young criminals is that of gangsters on the streets of Paris. Give them money and they don't mind doing errands. At the same time, this also means that they can spread rumors at will, they just need to cry

If he said in public that he was almost kidnapped, enthusiastic citizens would believe him. Who would doubt a 10-year-old child?

Rumors are an irrepressible phenomenon. Parisians are more likely to believe whispers circulating in secret than public announcements. Rumors then lead to more rumors. The police can no longer be trusted because they are also rumored to be involved in kidnappings.

, which eventually caused social panic and led to the death of Paris Police Chief Rabe.

Gianluca followed Severus' instructions and investigated the report records left by the Louvre at the Paris police station. Indeed, there was no record of the theft of the Pensieve, or even the theft of other cultural relics. On the contrary, there was no record of the theft of the Pensieve.

There is a record of the arrest of a man disguised as a plaster sculpture.

Even a hacker was unable to find out where the fountain stones that were demolished during the expansion of Notre Dame de Paris were used. Fortunately, the National Library of France was digitizing documents and establishing an online library, and he found such a

Information from 1750.

"About 12 years old, son of a craftsman?" Alessandro, who was covered in sweat, asked Gianluca while drinking water.

"I was looking at celebrities from the French Revolution, and maybe he was the one who ended the Bourbon royal family," Gianluca said.

"Not Robespierre?" Alessandro asked again.

"Robespierre was born in 1758, and his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all lawyers in Calais," Gianluca said.

"Oh my god, that sounds crazy," Monica said with a look of disgust on her face.

"No one says this is the truth," Severus said. "This is our own wild guess."

"Should I continue to find the whereabouts of those stones, or should I continue to follow this clue?" Gianluca asked.

"Whatever." Severus said lazily, "How's Leroy doing over there?"

"You can contact him yourself." Gianluca said, then hung up the phone.

"What should we do next?" Monica said.

Severus thought for a while, then picked up the mirror that Cloris gave him. A scene appeared inside, a bronze sculpture of an angel standing in a pool with a sword raised.

"I know this place, it's the Michel Fountain!" Monica shouted, and took out the travel magazine she bought from her bag.

"Let me take a look." Alejandro leaned over to take a look, but was pushed away by Monica.

"You stink, stay away from me." Monica said.

"Come on, I'll take you to take a shower." Severus said, "I'll change my clothes by the way. There is a very formal party tonight in Versailles. You go and change your clothes."

"What about me?" Monica said, pointing to herself.

Severus curled his lips, "My time is precious, and I won't wait for you to spend an hour doing makeup."

"I gave you your costume bag." Monica said confidently, "I guarantee you will be eye-catching at the party."
