Chapter 423 Garden
The address on the anonymous email was the Jacobin Monastery, which was about a ten-minute walk from the city hall.
This Gothic monastery was built by the Dominican Monastery in 1215. It has a history of more than 800 years. The bricks and tiles of the whole building are made of red clay. It is divided into church, There are three main parts: the inner courtyard cloister and the monks' dining hall, where Thomas Aquinas, the most famous Catholic theologian and philosopher, is buried.
When Zhang Heng and Leya walked into the church, the first thing they saw were the beams and columns nearly 30 meters high. They supported the top of the church, like straight palm trees, and the long windows on the vault were inlaid with Hand-painted stained glass, the sun shines through the window on the central bench, giving people a sacred feeling.
Zhang Heng looked around. There are other tourists besides them in the church now, but he didn't see any guy with special behavior. Edward himself doesn't like to take pictures. Leya got a photo of Edward's driver's license when he was sixteen years old. Juleya said that Edward will still have a lot of changes ten years later, which is why Zhang Heng brought Leya with him.
However, the latter apparently failed to find his brother in the church.
The two are now pretending to be lovers. Leya holds Zhang Heng's arm and visits this ancient building from the 13th century with other tourists. The girl's hair has also been dyed from blue to silver, and said in a low voice, " It feels like we are spies, is my brother so cautious now?"
"The little boy's worry is not unreasonable. The reason why Edward changed his email address to contact us shows that he feels that the original email address is unreliable, which also means that Black Nest is getting closer and closer to him." Zhang Heng said.
Considering that his appearance was also exposed when he met the earring man in the bar, Zhang Heng's image has also changed a lot now. He borrowed some inspiration from the first time he met Fox, changed into a suit, and sprayed cologne , combed his hair neatly, just like a financial elite.
In the parallel copy twelve years later, Black Nest found Edward in a nursing home three weeks later, and Edward replaced a volunteer there. However, the nursing home was not Edward's first hiding place in Toulouse. The nest came to the door, and Edward has been frequently changing the place of residence.
Therefore, Zhang Heng didn't know where Edward was hiding before, but if the connection really didn't go well, he could only choose to go to the nursing home to try his luck a week later. It's different, not only on 01's side, but also on Black Nest's side.
In addition, it was difficult for Zhang Heng to explain how he knew Edward's hiding place, so he did not act rashly in the previous two months. Those two months of life in the small town were obviously precious time left by the system for players to learn. This process may not be able to get any benefits, but it is likely to bring greater risks.
"Do you want to go somewhere else?" Leiya asked. The two had been in the church for almost 20 minutes, but they hadn't gained anything yet.
"Hmm." Zhang Heng nodded. Behind the church is a very beautiful corridor, which is a place for monks to communicate and meditate. Filled with trees and greenery.
The two walked through the red stone brick road, feeling the traces left by history, but unfortunately they still couldn't find Edward here. In fact, they stayed in the Jacobin Monastery for nearly two hours, exploring Every corner of the monastery, but still failed to get any clues.
In desperation, the two had no choice but to leave the monastery. Someone was handing out leaflets at the exit, and Leia also took one. When she returned to the car, she took off her hat and the big pair of sunglasses on her face.
"Could it be that he just isn't here today?"
"This possibility is not very high." Zhang Heng frowned. "Actually, there is one thing I don't quite understand. The email Edward sent us only has the location but no time, which means that we can come here at any time. And it is impossible for him to stay in the monastery every day, that would be too conspicuous, so we should have overlooked something, that thing has been in the monastery but it will not look obtrusive, let's come again tomorrow, pay more attention to the same things around us s things."
As soon as Zhang Heng finished speaking, Liya suddenly snorted, "Is it possible that what my brother left behind is outside the monastery?"
"Huh? What did you find out?"
"When I was little my brother and I would play a cipher game, a text in Hebrew."
"Do you speak Hebrew?"
"No, no, no, this is a very simple little password. We don't care about the meaning of the Hebrew itself. We just compare it with the corresponding French letter, and then translate it to get the information we want." Leya explained, waving the Catholic leaflet on her hand, pointing to an inconspicuous place on it, and said, "Here, look."
Zhang Heng stretched out his head and saw a line of Hebrew. Judging from the typesetting and contextual interpretation, it seemed to come from a passage in the original Bible. However, Leya found the corresponding letter word by word, and finally got the word garden.
"Garden? Does it mean the atrium garden we saw before? Is there anything we overlooked there?" Leiya asked curiously, feeling excited that she was about to uncover the mystery when she was playing a treasure hunt game when she was a child.
The voice of the little boy came again from the communicator, "I searched the garden in Toulouse just now, and found a restaurant, a boxing training ground, and an elementary school. Will Edward be somewhere in it?"
"Choose a location." Zhang Heng said to Leiya in the back row.
"Restaurant? I just happen to be a little hungry."
"Okay." Zhang Heng used his mobile phone to navigate to the restaurant named Garden, but he knew that Edward was unlikely to stay here as soon as he entered the door, because this restaurant is very famous nearby, and there are many customers who come here every day. , Such a flow of people is obviously not very friendly to a person who needs to hide his name to avoid tracking.
But fortunately, the foie gras here is delicious, and the sausage is also good. It couldn't be better for Leiya, who has been wandering around the monastery all afternoon, and revived her tired body and mind.
After the two of them finished their meal, the sky was about to darken, and Leiya said, "There are still boxing training ground and elementary school left, you can choose this time."
