Tale of the Seventh World 16

At this time, the waiter came over from a distance, walked closer with a fruit plate and a pot of black tea in his hand, placed it on the table and left. Su Hang followed him and picked up the dragon fruit in the fruit plate he had just delivered and ate it. He looked at the female posing player beside him and asked, "Do you eat it?"

The female player shook her head and said, "During work, it is prohibited to talk too much with guests, and there are regulations."

"rigid!"

"By the way, is there any difference between this hall style and a single style?" Su Hang said after picking up a piece with a toothpick inserted on the dragon fruit.

"The exclusive style is generally not open to the public, and is only for shareholders who have invested in hotels or those invited by shareholders can enter."

"It belongs to the VIP room." The female player looked at Su Hang and said.

"Every billiard room has a small bar, wine and fruit tray free. Even the billiards inside are made of ivory that are very rare now, and the clubs are made of good sandalwood wood."

"The clubs in the hall are all ash wood. Although they are elastic, they are prone to decay."

"In every room, there are special players and waiters, all of whom are trained. Their salary is several times that of ours, and they are responsible for food, accommodation, transportation and hotels." The tall and thin waitress was quite envious of those who could work in it, and said in a slightly low tone.

"You may not be here all the time. Maybe you will be transferred to the VIP room one day. No one will stay in the same place all the time, and there will always be a chance to change places." Su Hang said with a smile at the waitress.

"Chu, I'll go to the bathroom, can you do it for me?" Osmon walked to Suhang and handed the club to Suhang and said.

"But, I can't!" Su Hang said, chewing the apple block in his mouth.

"It's okay, just playing." Osmon handed the club to Su Hang again, looking like he was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, obviously because of shit and urine.

"Okay, wait a moment!" Su Hang quickly wiped out the apple in his hand a few times before taking the club handed over by Osmon.

After handing over to Suhang's club, Osmon quickly walked out of the billiards hall. At the moment when the door was closed, Suhang saw him running towards the bathroom like a flying one.

After Osmond left, Corporal Lynn changed the table again and asked the female player to snooker. Su Hang looked at Corporal Lynn and said, "I don't even know proportional billiards. Do you tell me to snooker?"

"I can't even have basic skills!"

"Practicing proportional billiards can make the foundation well, but you can try snooker first!"

"This is not going to school. You must have a foundation to accept profound knowledge." Corporal Lynn said, signaling the female player to change the club.

"London now plays billiards, and there are two ways to play. One is the old-fashioned gameplay that most people play 1 three-ball pocket billiards, and the other is the snooker played by a few people. It was brought back by Zhang Yilun, who is a soldier and now the Minister of Health. " (Note: British proportional billiards are three-ball pocket billiards)

"Many people in the army like this game, but more people still don't accept it. I just asked that there are two types of billiards in this hotel, one is old-fashioned billiards and the other is snooker. I prefer snooker to play, but Osmond likes proportional billiards just now, so I played two games with him."

"If you really don't want to play, let's change to another one." Corporal Lynn walked to the table, got a cup of black tea and took a sip.

"It's better to play snooker! I can't play anyway, and it's the same." Su Hang looked at Corporal Linen who walked to the front of him after drinking tea and shook his head and said.

I don’t know if Osmon is constipated. I went to the bathroom for forty minutes. Corporal Lynn taught Suhang to play snooker for three games. Now I can start the game normally. I don’t have to teach and fight. This person hasn’t come back yet. It really makes people wonder if he was exhausted when he went to the bathroom and fell inside.

If Osmond didn't come back at the end of this game, Su Hang and Corporal Linen planned to go to the bathroom to "rescue" him.

At the beginning of the new round, Corporal Linn kicked off. As the two of them went back and forth, they soon had only the last black ball left. At this time, Corporal Linn scored 2 points higher than Suhang, and the black ball became crucial. Corporal Linn hit the white ball on one side of the table and hit the end of the other side where the black ball was. "Touched" the black ball and went diagonally towards the hole. "Shock" hit the outer eaves of the hole, bounced back to the other side, stopping at the other side.

On the one hand, the white ball rebounded to the center due to the impact just now. Due to the physical position, Suhang took the rod, took the shell powder from the table and wiped the rod head, and put it on the rod. With a "touch", the white ball came out and hit it along the straight line after the rod was adjusted, and hit it "pop" on the black ball. The black ball fell into the hole. At the end of the game, Suhang overtook Linen and scored 5 points, and Suhang won.

"Wow! Chu, you won." Osmon walked into the billiards hall at some point. When he walked in front of him, he happened to see Su Hang scored a goal.

"Are you okay in your health?" Su Hang asked, looking at Osmon in front of him.

"After nearly an hour, are you constipated or clean the hotel!" Corporal Lynn also looked at Osmon and said.

"I don't know why my stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so I went back to the room to rest for a while."

"If you're not good, come here." The excuse Osmon said was so bad. There was obviously another reason. Corporal Lynn was not asking.

Next, Su Hang played four games with Osmon and Corporal Lynn, three defeats and one victory. He lost with Corporal Lynn, and won one game back from Osmon. After playing four games in a row, Su Hang sat on the sofa, ate fruits, drank tea, watched Corporal Lynn and the other tables to watch others play.

"Hello sir, are you Corporal Lynn?" As the inning of Osmon and Corporal Lynn, a waiter whispered to open the hall door and walked to Corporal Lynn and asked.

"Yes, is there anything?" Corporal Lynn hit the ball with a club, and the white ball hit a red ball into the bag. Then he looked up at the waitress with short black hair who came to him.

"Corporal Lynn, there is a call to you at the front desk of the lobby, and it was called by the police station." The short-haired waitress said to Corporal Lynn.

"What, the police station?"

"Yes, corporal, I've confirmed it." The short-haired waitress said affirmatively.

Osmon walked over at this time, looked at Corporal Lynn and whispered: "Corporal, go and handle things first, we'll wait for you here."

"Okay!" Corporal Lynn looked at Su Hang and Osmon and smiled apologetically, walked out of the hall.

Strangely, what can I do with the London Police Department? Didn’t the attack be handed over to Lieutenant Affery to handle? Why did I find me? No one informed me! Lynn walked towards the front desk on the first floor with suspicion, thinking as he walked, why would the police look for him?

"Please give us two glasses of Brandyas." Osmon said to the waitress standing by the table.

"Okay, please wait!" The waitress walked towards the bar. After a while, the waitress walked over with two glasses of cocktails on a tray.

Su Hang was eating the fruit on the plate, sitting on the sofa and chatting with Osmon while drinking the cocktail he had just delivered.

"Chu, your progress is so fast, you never win, it's only one morning." Osmon said to Su Hang, who was sitting on the sofa and diagonally opposite him.

"Looking at your playing basketball, the corporals have taught me specifically. With continuous practice, how stupid it is to not know how to be able to do it!" Su Hang sighed helplessly.

"Practice makes perfect, my teacher told me that this word seems to be a Chinese language." Osmon said while drinking.

"Idioms are a phrase with Chinese characteristics. My mother is Chinese and often spoken when she was a child." Listening to Osmond's four-character word, relevant information flashed through Suhang's mind. It was the Chinese vocabulary taught by Aldridge's mother when he was a child.

"Yes, it's the idiom, what the teacher said, I forgot." Osmon immediately remembered when he heard Su Hang say this.

"By the way, your teacher knows a lot!"

"You are right about this. The teacher has a good understanding of the history and culture of various countries. Even the proficiency of billiards is practiced by the teacher." Osmon said that his teacher looked admiring.

"I'm more and more imagining what you said, I want to see your teacher." Su Hang said after taking a sip of wine.

"There will be a chance. The teacher is a very fond of making friends." Osmon said seriously at Su Hang.

"It's been so long, the corporal won't come back if he answers the phone!" Su Hang picked up the cue and said.

"The game is over, he won't come back, let's go find him." Osmon stood up and said.

Suhang and Osmon were about to start a new game, but at this moment, the door of the hall was gently pushed open, and Corporal Lin En, who went to the hall to answer the phone, hurried towards Suhang and the others.

"What happened to Yaheng, I'm in the hospital now." Corporal Lin En walked to Suhang and Hang with a calm face. Before Suhang and Hang could speak, he came up and told the amazing news.

"What did you say?" Su Hang and Osmond said in unison, thinking they had heard it wrong.

"You heard it right, something happened to Mr. Celter!"

"Just just now, the London Police Department called me. The groom who followed Yaheng out found him lying on the second floor of the store. The groom also found the bloody store manager near Yaheng who was unconscious. Now he has reported the case and Yaheng has been sent to the hospital." Corporal Linn briefly said what happened.

"Oh my God! Why is this happening?" Osmon looked at Corporal Lynn in surprise after hearing this.

"The police station did not say the specific details of the matter, but only learned that the groom was frightened by the scene he saw. When he ran out of the store, he encountered the patrolman on the street. The patrolman blocked the scene immediately and sent the injured Yaheng to the hospital." Corporal Linn told Su Hang and Osmon what he learned.

"Have you informed his family?" Osmon asked.

"The police have not reached it yet, but it's soon," said Corporal Lynn.

"Let's go and see how Mr. Celte is doing. Ask the doctor about his condition!" Su Hang looked at the two of them still talking nonsense, and immediately rushed up anxiously.

"Then let's go!"

"The hotel has arranged a car, so we will go directly to the hospital." Corporal Lin En said to Su Hang while walking.

Su Hang and the other two left the billiards hall and quickly walked to the entrance of the hotel. A car had already parked at the door. Su Hang saw that the front of the car had a very eye-catching monster logo with a spherical head. The car looked a little old. The edge of the door of the car body had a slight scratch. The traces left by the years on the body of the car could still be seen even if it was often maintained.

The hotel arranged a driver. A 31 or 2-year-old British young man, tall and thin, with a light blue pupil that looked like a toy glass ball from the east. After getting in the car, Suhang once again confirmed that the car had been around for a long time. He found that although the decorations in the car were all new, the tiny damage at the corners of the car could still be seen from the car that had been taking a long time.

"Yaheng was sent to the nearest hospital in Smithfield District, where the store is located. Butz Hospital is the best medical condition nearby." Corporal Linn sat in the passenger seat and turned his head to look at Su Hang and said.

When Suhang heard the name Butz Hospital, he felt like he had heard it somewhere. He unconsciously touched his chin and thought that when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly saw the violin placed in the window of a musical instrument shop passing by outside the car window. He thought that in the first case of "Shelf's Detective Collection", Watson met Sherlock Holmes for the first time at Butz Hospital. Speaking of "Shelf's Detective Collection", it can be said that it is the deepest memory of Suhang.

It's a novel. In Aldridge's memory, the first book I saw was not "Ansser's Fairy Tale", but "Shelmes's Detective Collection". It was the first edition of "Study on Blood" and when Su Hang got it, it had been a few years since he got it. It was still well preserved, but the traces of being destroyed by time can be vaguely seen. It was one of the few books that his father Alger had brought with him since he was in school. It can be seen that it was so long!

Coincidentally, Su Hang also saw the book in "Shelf's Detective Collection" in Yaheng's private collection, but it was not "Study on Blood" but the "Four Signatures" published later. Su Hang borrowed this book from Yaheng at that time, and still put it on the bedside table in his bedroom with a bookmark in his bedroom.

For him who loves "The Sherlock Holmes", Dr. Watson and Detective Sherlock Holmes, the place where the good friends of the first time met, still remembered the new memories of him. When Corporal Lynn said it, he felt familiar instantly, and then he remembered it.

Soon, while the car turned left and right, Suhang and the other three arrived at the Butz Hospital in Smithfield District. When Suhang got off the bus, he saw that the Butz Hospital building could be roughly divided into three sections (there are a few on both sides and slightly higher in the middle). Through the mottled traces on the courtyard wall, there were still some tiny cracks in the corner of the courtyard gate, which could be seen that this was a trace carved by time.
