A Weird Theater That Started In London

"I can't live well."

The girl sat on the tavern table and wiped the dirt from the corners of her eyes to remove her sleepiness.

Obviously, she didn't remember Lu Li and was complaining in a low voice.

Just now, Mr. Holmes invited the young lady to come and sit, and ordered her a cup of hot coffee and bread with butter.

Aisong, a strange name.

"Are you from your own country?"

Duke wondered.

"Yes, sir, Irish East Ender, born in London, raised in London..."

Speaking of which, Aison's voice gradually disappeared, and she probably didn't know why life had become so bad.

Beside, through the conversation, Lu Li learned about the basic situation of Ai Songen. She used to live a happy home life, and it was not until her parents died in an accident that she realized that she was helpless——

One brother served in the army and has been out of touch for a long time. The other brother needs twenty shillings a week to support his wife and eight children. His work is not decent and he may be laid off at any time.

"Actually, I have only left Fogdu once in my life. I picked fruit for three weeks in Essex, on the outskirts of the city, and my whole body became as black as a berry."

Probably because she has not been able to talk to her for a long time. After getting to know her, the girl showed a talkative side and talked about the past incessantly.

Mr. Holmes did not interrupt. On the contrary, he liked to listen to the life experiences of people at the bottom.

This is not to investigate the case, but simply to understand the other side of the city.

"Why don't you try to be a waiter, it will be decent..." Duke sighed and shook his head, which is why he has been reluctant to integrate into this era.

Wudu, a city that devours flesh and blood.

"I used to work in a coffee shop in the Eastern District from seven in the morning to eleven in the evening. Although the weekly salary was only five shillings, the owner was willing to provide meals for free."

Ithone answered Duke's question.

Her eyes flashed brightly and then dimmed again. "Two weeks ago, I fell ill and spent all my savings. After I came out of the hospital, I couldn't find a job and could only sleep on the street."

Without further ado, Lu Li already knew what happened next to Aison, and as he can see now, he was forced to become a rogue.

"It's not a long-term career after all." Lu Li ordered a second meal for her and said solemnly, "What are your plans for the future?"

"You can go to the orphanage for a while and slowly find a serious job." Duke said kindly.

"impossible!"

This sentence seemed to touch the sensitive nerves of Aison, and said loudly: "Even if I starve to death on the side of the road, I won't go to that kind of place."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't be in a hospital, nor will I die." She sniffed and fell into a long silence.

"I can introduce you to a job."

At this time, Sherlock Holmes spoke, he decided to save a lost soul, "There is a shortage of female kitchen workers in a workhouse next door. They can provide three meals and a separate room, and the salary may not be ideal..."

"I will."

Almost without hesitation, Esson agreed to Holmes' suggestion, thanking him constantly.

It seems that she does not resist the workhouse itself, but is unwilling to become a refugee and support herself. This is her last self-esteem.

Because the few people did not lower their voices and deliberately concealed the content of the conversation, the other Orioles who were standing at the stairway to greet customers immediately surrounded them.

Unfortunately, they didn't need a legitimate job, but wanted to drag Lu Li and the others to a small room upstairs. As long as their eyes weren't blind, they could see that the three were rich. The key was to have sympathy that could be used...

Almost at the same time, the waiter who had received a full tip rushed over with a colleague to rescue him.

The whole scene was too chaotic, and the guests next to him laughed out loud.

In the end, the boss came forward to quell the farce. After all, the Orioles can recruit guests indoors, and they all depend on each other to take care of them.

"A roasted elbow."

The police officer in charge of secretly protecting Lu Li and others was late, which made the bar fall into silence.

The night shift workers secretly cursed their bad luck. Some packed the leftover meat and wine and hurriedly pushed the door to leave, while others bowed their heads and drank suffocating wine.

To be honest, Lu Li felt that they were right. The management almost wrote the word incompetence on their faces. Too many babies died of malnutrition, too many girls escaped from sweatshops, and too many overworked workers threw themselves into the canals... …

And the management enjoys delicious food and wine, turning a blind eye to the millions of mouths that have never been fed, the millions of poor people who don't even have enough clothes or a place to live.

Even, the poor are not even qualified to make a sound, so they can only find a corner and wait to die.

"Poverty and greed, the root of all evil..."

After stepping in and getting to know the dark side of the city, Lu Li was thinking:

In an era full of weirdness, where resentment and obsession can be turned into power, can the authorities withstand the anger that erupted from millions of poor people?

"These are not problems that we can solve. We have to rely on the joint efforts of Mr. Mayor, Mr. Councillors, and wealthy businessmen." Holmes sighed, his mood was particularly complicated.

"Work hard? Work hard to make a better plan to oppress the poor~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Duke realized that his attitude was a little extreme, shook his head, and simply stopped talking.

For a moment, he wanted to change his position, stand from the point of view of a refugee, and vent his dissatisfaction and anger at the top.

"Let's wait for the news from Officer Wensley. In any case, that evil organization that targets women must be eliminated."

Lu Li raised his head and drank the brandy in the cup. He didn't want to let himself get into a deeper entanglement.

The atmosphere gradually became depressed.

What I have seen and heard these days has cast a shadow over the hearts of Lu Li and Duke, and Sherlock Holmes kept sighing and shaking his head. His personal strength is limited, and he can only try his best to eradicate evil, but he cannot cut off the source.

"Only targeting women?"

Esson felt that she should do something for these three kind gentlemen. In fact, she had already realized that the three must have a special purpose in coming to Whitechapel.

Of course, there are good and bad goals, and Lu Li and his party are undoubtedly the former.

"That's right."

Lu Li nodded, not thinking too much.

But what Ai Songen said below made the three of them instantly energized.

"In the early morning, there were two murders behind the pub."

Speaking of which, Esson turned back subconsciously and looked towards the entrance of the stairs, worried that her leak would lead to revenge.

You must know that Liu Ying often fights for territory, and casualties are inevitable, but no matter how many casualties, they cannot report to the police station——

Even if the police officers are not willing to take the effort to pursue it.
