Tale of the Seventh World 24
When Suhang and Corporal Linn arrived, Osmond had already sat down in a relatively remote corner of the restaurant, holding a newspaper to kill time while waiting for Suhang and Suhang.
"Newspapers are really one of the indispensable information media in this era! Through it, people learn a lot of news that they should and should not know."
Su Hang and Corporal Lin En sat on both sides of the round table. Su Hang looked at Osmond and said.
"Time can change many things, and newspapers are one of them. I have read old-fashioned newspapers, which are full of denigration between parties and touting their noble sentiments." Osmond put the newspaper in his hand on the table.
It said above.
"Freedom of speech started with newspapers, but it has changed a lot compared to before." Regarding the previous newspapers, Corporal Linn expressed that he did not have enough recognition!
"Looking at your appearance, we have made a new discovery!" Osmond said, looking at Su and Hang. Half an hour ago, it could be seen that the two of them were still looking sad, but now they have returned to normal.
"Yes! There was a flash of inspiration, as if he was blessed by Jesus." Su Hang looked at Osmond and said.
"The case is about to enter its climax, but it's a pity that you missed it." Corporal Linn shrugged.
"I usually won't miss a show like this..." Osmond said seriously while looking at Corporal Linn.
"Da la la!" "Da la la!" A burst of moving music came from the gramophone, and everyone in the restaurant instantly fell silent, listening to this light and lively tune.
The sound of loud horns began as a blast, resounding throughout the restaurant to suppress the sounds of guests interacting with each other while dining, followed by a cheerful and joyful melody that continued like spring water. At this moment, everyone seemed to be still.
Usually listen to the moving and fresh music.
The music was sometimes melodious, sometimes soothing, sometimes bright and yet so heart-warming. Gradually, people followed the music and resumed their previous actions as if thawing. They ate, ate, and chatted, but they all lowered their voices and listened throughout the restaurant.
The music sounded like the whole restaurant was being cleansed invisibly.
"London Symphony No. 93 is known as a work that is 'unparalleled' and is also considered to be 'extremely Britannia-flavored.'" Osmond said softly while listening to the music.
"I listened to it, and it evoked my childhood memories. The London Symphony is also called the Solomon Symphony. It was composed by Haydn after being invited by Solomon. It was 12 symphonies in five years." Su Hang's thoughts on the "London Symphony"
The memory is deeper. My mother liked to listen to it. She listened to it many times when I was a child, and the memory is particularly deep.
"Music can relax the mind and relieve stress, but it's getting late and we have to go to the hospital after dinner." Corporal Lin En said while looking at Su and Hang on both sides of the table.
"Waiter, take your order." Corporal Linn waved to a waiter not far away who was serving drinks.
"Okay sir, please wait!"
"Hello, sir, what do you want to order?" The waiter sent the drinks in his hands to other tables and then came to the table of Suhang and others.
"A salmon and corn soup, that's it."
"It's the same as mine." Su Hang said at this time. He ate too much at night and couldn't digest it, so he ordered less.
"Replace the salmon with medium-rare steak, and have Yorkshire pudding for dessert. That's it." Osmond saw that the two of them didn't eat much, so he didn't order more without wasting food.
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment!" The waiter recorded the meals ordered by Su and Hang, then turned and left.
Suhang once again sincerely felt the "power" of the hotel, which was not only reflected in the appearance and service quality, but also the speed of serving food. It took less than half an hour from Suhang and the others to ordering and the waiter pushing the dining cart in front of them.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the quality will get worse if the speed is increased. After several people from Suhang tasted the corn soup they ordered, they felt that the soup was extremely delicious. The quality and quantity were maintained quickly, and it did not affect the guests’ dining mood. Indeed
It is indeed a restaurant in a big hotel!
After a delicious dinner, the conversation was a little less than usual during the meal. Occasionally, they chatted a little about the analysis process of the case. After the meal, the three of them took the car arranged by the hotel and arrived at Butts Hospital.
Arriving at Butts Hospital again, Suhang and others visited the injured Yaheng, and happened to meet Yaheng’s attending doctor, Dr. Allston. According to Dr. Allston, Yaheng woke up from a coma not long after we left.
However, the slightly hollow look in the eyes has not yet recovered. This is just a behavior inspired by the subconscious influence of the brain, and the patient has not yet fully awakened to consciousness.
When several people from Suzhou and Hangzhou were visiting Yaheng, they found that there were two more police officers at the entrance of the hospital, and there were several more "patients" on the floor where Yaheng was located. Corporal Lin En said that Supervisor Upton acted very quickly.
! It seems that he can’t wait to end this case as soon as possible, and he “offlined” as soon as he finished speaking.
In response to Corporal Lin's words, Su Hang just smiled and said nothing. This case was not a big case. It was not that Inspector Upton had never experienced bigger cases, but the timing was a coincidence! London
The bombings in the suburbs involved London's political figures and had a considerable impact on civilians. At this time, a case of wounding in a downtown shop emerged, which was an "eye candy" for the Metropolitan Police!
At this time, I have caused so much trouble to the Metropolitan Police. I can’t do anything without using you as an example! You are provocative! You are embarrassing the Metropolitan Police. Those aristocratic men in London will think that the Metropolitan Police is just a decoration.
It is waste that causes unrest in the city of London, which will affect the trust of royal dignitaries in the police force, and the most important impact is on the special funding of the police force.
Corporal Lin En told Suhang about the source of funds for the police department. In addition to the fixed part from the royal family, the other part comes from special funds from political dignitaries and noble gentlemen. This is why Inspector Upton is anxious to solve the case. To save it.
The face of the police department, and whoever solves the case will be known to the higher-ups, which will also be good for future promotions.
The two cases happened one after the other, and they were both well known to everyone. Even if there was no connection, the Police Department could not escape the blame. As soon as the case appeared, it was spread to the ears of the big bosses in the City of London, and they were criticized by name.
Regarding the security issues at the Police Department, Corporal Lin En told Su Hang while chatting on the way back to the hotel in the evening.
Thinking of this, Su Hang smiled silently with indifferent eyes.
After visiting Yaheng who was in a coma, Corporal Linn proposed to meet John who was also in a coma. He had been in John's shop all day, but apart from the photos, he had never seen a real person!
There is an old saying that goes, "You have been crying for a long time, and you don't know who is dead." I know this, but I haven't seen it yet!
Su Hang heartily agreed with Corporal Lin En's proposal. The outcome of the case was not yet known, but the victim should be seen anyway!
For the convenience of care and smooth protection, Yaheng and John were in wards on the same floor, separated by just a few wards.
The basic layout of John's ward is the same as that of Yaheng's. The only thing is that there is an extra ventilator. This kind of medical equipment is also the latest medical product. It was just put into use in London this year. For patients like John, it can be said
It is the gospel from God.
Two nurses in white clothes were examining the unconscious John in the ward. The white quilt covered half of his body, and the other half was blocked by the nurse. This is what Su Hang saw the first time he entered the ward.
.
Dr. Alston did not follow Su Hang and others to the ward. As John was seen three times a day, there was no need to keep an eye on him all the time. Nurses would conduct regular checks on him at regular intervals, unless there was an emergency.
.
An unknown smell of potion, unique to the ward, flooded into the nasal cavity when Su Hang and others actually entered the ward. It was hard to tell what the smell was, but it just didn't smell good. It's a pity that Su Hang is not a medical student. If he were, not only
You can distinguish the special smell and check Yaheng's condition.
Aldrich had planned to become a doctor when he was a child. Sailing on the vast seas allowed him to appreciate the beauty of the sea and the sky, but he also had to bear the diseases caused by sailing on the seas. Rheumatism and cardiovascular diseases were more common, which was not the case.
Not only Aldrich and his crew members are in this situation, many people who sail at sea all year round are very likely to get sick. This is just a general situation. If you go to cities in certain countries and get infected and bring them back to the ship,
That's not uncommon either.
But in the end, Aldrich didn't study medicine. He just had a brief contact with the ship's doctor on the ship, but he still didn't understand the system.
After Su Hang and others entered the ward, the nurse's routine inspection came to an end, and then she left the ward with a trolley containing medicines.
It was only then that Su Hang and others looked at John who was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask. The tall John in the photo was lying motionless on the hospital bed. His face was pale and he couldn't believe that it was the handsome man in the photo. His head was
His head was wrapped in white gauze, and there was faint red oozing out from the edge of the gauze. A slight sound of breathing came out through the oxygen mask, but his eyes were still closed tightly, as tight as two gates.
The ground is closed.
After Su Hang and others visited John, they found Dr. Alston who was in the hospital office. They learned from him that John had suffered a serious head injury. In this case, the patient may wake up in a few days, several years, or even
He may become a vegetative state. In this regard, the hospital hopes that his family can accompany him, which will help the hospital's treatment.
Regarding the suggestions put forward by the hospital, Su Hang and others were helpless. He had no relatives in his family. If he had any, they were definitely not in London. Who knows where in the corner of the UK he was?
After returning from the hospital, Osmond first proposed to go back to the room to rest, and left first on the grounds that he would go to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow to cooperate with the case. Corporal Linn and Su Hang came to the leisure area, ordered two glasses of whiskey, and sat by the window.
Location, during the chat, Corporal Lin En started talking about the case and the story of how Suhang used to live on the sea.
The leisure area and the restaurant are a bit similar, both have a gramophone, but the gramophone is a larger model than the one in the restaurant. Different music is often played to attract customers, even though it is almost nine o'clock in the evening.
At ten o'clock, there are still many customers here talking about interesting topics.
The time was spent chatting between Su Hang and Corporal Lin En. An hour later, Corporal Lin En became sleepy. He said goodbye to Su Hang and went back to the room to rest. However, Su Hang had something on his mind and couldn't fall asleep, so he stayed alone.
Sitting in the seat, drinking wine and listening to music in a daze.
Su Hang, who was sitting alone in the leisure area, was in a daze listening to the music played by the gramophone. I didn't know when the music changed. It was a very familiar music. What he heard in his ears was a song that even Su Hang, who lives on a boat all year round,
Everyone knows the music, Symphony No. 6 in F major, also known as the "Pastoral Symphony". This is one of the works of Beethoven, who is known as the "Music Saint" by the world.
"Pastoral Symphony" has five movements, and the second movement is playing in the leisure area now, describing "Small Scenery by the Brook". You can hear the accompaniment of the violin in the music played, and the music is playing as if you are in a clear place.
By the creek, you can feel the vastness of nature.
The change of music caused Su Hang, who was in a daze, to end his daze. He turned around and waved to the waiter at the bar. A slender waiter walked over to him and asked softly: "Hello, sir, may I ask?
do you need anything?"
"A glass of cherry brandy and today's Daily Mail."
"Okay sir, please wait a moment!" The waitress turned and walked towards the bar.
Su Hang closed his eyes and listened to the music quietly, touching the round table with his fingers silently. At this moment, someone walked by and asked him a question.
"Excuse me, sir, can I sit here?"
Su Hang slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the person asking the question. The first thing he saw was an angular face, a tall nose, sharp blue eyes, glowing with a gem-like color, and a hat with a
The military cap with the cap badge looks like a heroic middle-aged man.
Although he is a middle-aged man, his condition is better than that of a young man! This soldier is different!
Su Hang looked around and found that there were many more people nearby unknowingly, and he was the only one with an empty seat by the window.
Su Hang's face was full of surprise, and there were just a few question marks on his head. What's going on? He looked at the watch hanging not far away. It was already eleven o'clock. These people were taking stimulants and were not sleeping.
.
Forget it! Don’t worry about others, there’s still someone in front of you!
"Okay." Su Hang glanced at the soldier and said immediately.
The middle-aged man sat down opposite and gestured to the waiter not far away. He ordered a cup of black tea and a scone while looking at the entire leisure area.
When the waiter asked the middle-aged man what he wanted, he also brought over the pieces and newspapers that Su Hang asked for.
Su Hang looked at the middle-aged man opposite and saw that he was looking at the people around him, so he did not talk to him rashly and just drank the brandy. (The so-called clean drinking means drinking pure brandy without adding any foreign substances.) Read
Holding a newspaper.
The content in the "Daily Mail" is not much different from that in the "Times". It is nothing more than the turmoil in the political or business circles. This is not the case. Suhang has now seen a newspaper in London that has been in business for decades being accused of false reporting.
The lawsuit was filed in the High Court. The newspaper filled a page with the court date and the reasons for both parties, and reported the relevant news according to the facts.
News like this attracts the most attention of the public. After dinner, people will share the conclusions they have drawn after reading the newspaper with others, continue the discussion with those who agree with them, argue a few words with those who disagree, and share the conclusions in the newspaper with others.
Chapter completed!
