A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 9 Chapter 60: social field

The latest website: "Age is always the natural enemy of men. When the culprit of the Queen's assassination is found out, it is time to retire."

Vincent's face was full of helplessness and humility. He was glad that the person who questioned him was not Her Majesty, otherwise, he would be ridiculed again.

In fact, the attitude of this Princess Helena in front of her was quite kind. In addition to chatting, she also asked about the serial murders that happened in the East District.

When she heard that the case had been solved, she immediately praised Scotland Yard for her work.

Frankly speaking, Vincent was a little ashamed. In terms of the character of the princess, she would not deliberately say some irony, so there is indeed a compliment.

Because of this, the old man felt ashamed. This case was solved by civilian detectives, and the police only provided some necessary help——

To be honest, let's get started.

However, Vincent is not the kind of person who is greedy for credit. When talking about the serial murder case with the princess, he took the initiative to tell the truth, and returned the credit to Lu Li and others who lived in Baker Street, as well as his lover Wensley.

For Wensley, Helena's evaluation is very good, he has shown loyalty and responsibility on the night of the Queen's assassination.

The investigation team from the private sector surprised the princess. She grew up in the palace and did not know how social order works—

People trust private investigators and private guards more than official forces.

After all, Scotland Yard's first task is to serve the Queen, secondly, to protect members of the royal family and aristocratic dignitaries, and lastly to maintain social order.

"What about the investigators? On the invitation list for the party."

After some conversations, Helena became very curious about this group of people, and hoped to meet and see what the folks are capable of catching thieves.

the other side.

Under the command of the royal guard, Duke and Bai Yu parked the carriage at the designated location——

Out of respect for the royal family, all vehicles must be parked away from the gate of the palace, and according to their identities and the time of arrival, they must continue to the back row.

Therefore, there is a saying: after getting off the carriage, the shorter the walking distance to Buckingham Palace, the higher the status.

Competitiveness is everywhere.

"Calculate it carefully, I have already attended three banquets." Zhao Feng jumped out of the carriage and looked at the densely packed wheels in front of him with a helpless expression, and complained: "No matter what we talk about, human beings always seem to associate it with drinking and having fun. superior."

"Three times? At least five times, that is, eating and drinking, then holding a wine glass, chatting with some people I don't know, and waiting until the end to get to the point, understand what I want to know, and get to know the people I want to know."

Bai Yu answered.

Next to him, Duke understood this formalism quite well, and said with a smile: "People are social animals, so there is no need to feel social trouble, as long as you can get what you want and what you want."

Lu Li and Pan Ming looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Due to family reasons, the latter had participated in too many social events in reality and was passively socializing almost every day.

Although Lu Li didn't have any troubles in this regard, but in the last exam, when he was a capitalist in the era of the big universe, he often had to attend banquets, build relationships with partners, and get acquainted with each other.

One thing to say, one wants to go to a primitive society without much social interaction.

Of course, resistance and resistance must not be shown on the face, not to mention, this time to attend the dinner, it is very likely to receive a task.

"Everyone, please come this way."

The waiters lined up in a row, and when they saw Lu Li and the others approaching, someone immediately stepped forward to greet them.

Prior to this, the Royal Guard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Palace had completed identity verification, and all those who could come here were distinguished guests.

Soon, everyone came to a garden. They should have continued to walk under the leadership of the waiter, but an old acquaintance, Officer Wensley, appeared. He was wearing a woolen coat and looked very decent, with a golden star shining on his shoulders.

"I'll lead the way."

After explaining this sentence, Wensley led Lu Li and the others away, while the waiter bowed slightly and walked towards the place where he came.

"Are you familiar with this place?" Lu Li was curious.

Wensley knew what he meant, shrugged, and explained with a smile: "This is the first time, but as a security guard, you must memorize the layout of the palace."

"Oh?" Duke frowned. "So Scotland Yard took over the security of Buckingham Palace."

"Work with the Royal Guard."

Officer Wensley corrected a sentence, and then explained: "Because the Queen is not there, according to the system, many areas cannot be opened to the outside world and must be strictly blocked."

"As a result, the Royal Guard will not have enough staff, and the security work in some areas has to be handed over to us."

Wensley didn't notice it himself, and when he spoke, he subconsciously raised his tall waist up again to show respect.

The pavement of the palace is entirely paved with white marble, and statues, hedges, and out-of-season flowers can be seen everywhere along the way.

During this period, Lu Li even saw the sundial, which is an ancient relic from the East, which was skillfully placed in a courtyard somewhere.

"Last time I went to a play, there was a kid who only brought five shillings, but the fare was one pound. Guess what he told the conductor?"

"Please, let me in, I only see with one eye."

As soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, he saw an old man with gray hair, many high-class people were circling around him, and the old man was just holding a wine glass, as if listening to a joke, he smiled reservedly.

Seeing this, Wensley immediately suppressed his smile, lowered his voice and introduced to the crowd, saying, "That is Duke Sutherland, his father was the richest man of the last century, and he is one of the richest men of this century."

one?

Are there more rich people, or is the inheritance being spent indiscriminately.

Lu Li was a little curious. This was the second time he had seen the duke. The last time he met was in Abney Park. At the funeral of the fire fighting hero Mr. Bradwood, the other party took the stage to give a eulogy.

At that time, Lu Li stood in the distance and offered a flower.

"If you seal the gate with iron bars and set fire inside~www.readwn.com~ tomorrow, the whole of London will collapse..." Pan Ming thought with some ill will.

Officer Wensley probably never imagined that the man beside him, who was reluctant to talk, would have such a dangerous thought.

Of course, Pan Ming just thought about it, he is not a lunatic, he can control himself very well.

"It seems that Mr. Vincent is temporarily away. Let's find a place to familiarize yourself with the environment."

Wensley looked at a corner in the distance, finally withdrew his gaze, and said apologetically: "I'll excuse me for a while, and then go outside for two more rounds, and come back in about half an hour."

"Ok."

Lu Li and the others nodded, they were not hillbilly who had never seen the world, so naturally they wouldn't have stage fright.

After watching Wensley leave, they each took ice wine from the waiter and went to socialize at places of interest.

Boring social arena, but have to adapt.
