Chapter 249 The Bizarre 19th Century (4K)

"Napoleon Jouan scored twice on landing?" There may be French spies on the West India Docks! 》

"Shocking!" The Battle of Waterloo was staged at the Regent Crescent, and Napoleon Bonaparte was captured again! 》

"In this hot summer, Scotland Yard brought a great military victory to the British people! 》

"London citizens joked: The combat effectiveness of the London Police is comparable to that of the Royal Grenadier Guards. Perhaps Parliament can consider cutting Army military expenditures as appropriate"

"The Royal Navy Rear Admiral Thomas Cochrane, who has just succeeded his father as Earl of Dundonald and has been elected to the House of Lords, said enthusiastically: The proposals of the London citizens are very forward-looking"

"The Department of the Army responded: Cochran, fart!" 》

According to an official insider, Charles-Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, the nephew of the First Emperor of France and the cannibal Napoleon Bonaparte, sailed in the West Indies on a merchant ship from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the early morning of the previous day. The docks entered London secretly and received a 'warm welcome' from the working people of the East End.

At noon that day, Scotland Yard received a report that a kidnapping case with many witnesses had occurred in the East End. Superintendent Arthur Hastings, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Greater London Police Department and the star of London police, immediately ordered that Led by Sergeant Claydon Jones of the Whitechapel Police Station of the London Metropolitan Police, the team immediately encircled and suppressed the Fred criminal group and successfully rescued Mr. Louis Bonaparte who was receiving a 'hot reception'.

However, after subsequent investigation, Scotland Yard found that Mr. Louis Bonaparte lacked the passport, nationality and identity documents necessary for entry. Therefore, Scotland Yard submitted relevant documents and, after approval by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice, carried out a second arrest of Mr. Louis Bonaparte who was a guest at the Regent Crescent.

Afterwards, our reporter conducted interviews with several senior police officers from Scotland Yard and the respectable police officers involved in the arrest.

Superintendent William Mitchell, who was "bloody" retired from the 11th Royal Infantry Regiment, said that this was the first time he had fought against the French since he was wounded in the Battle of Salamanca and was sent home for treatment. But obviously, this victory was much easier than the Battle of Salamanca. Looking back now, Marshal Marmont, who led the French army to participate in the Battle of Salamanca, was not that bad.

Superintendent Joseph Marcellin on the side obviously disagreed with Superintendent William Michel's opinion. He believed that compared with Marmont, French Marshal Soult, who commanded the French army to participate in the Battle of Albuera, was more powerful. Level, by the way, the 57th Royal Infantry Regiment 'Die Hard', to which Superintendent Joseph Marcellin belonged, belonged to the 2nd Division that participated in the battle. At that time, they were under the command of Major General William Stewart.

Superintendent Michel retorted: "The Second Division wandered in the Battle of Busaco without attacking. During the Iberian Peninsula War of 1811-1812, it spent most of the time lost and always on the march. , never arrived at the destination. Don’t you know who this sentence is about? As for the Battle of Albuera, you have the nerve to brag about it. How come I heard that the Polish lancers, the French servant army at that time, were defeated with a single charge. What about our flanks? 1,248 people were killed by the cavalry charge. Our "bloody" can't achieve this kind of results. "

Superintendent Marcelin argued: "The important thing is to see our unyielding spirit! Don't forget where our nickname of the 57th Regiment came from. We are die-hard!"

Superintendent Michel agreed: "It is true that everyone is dead and the bodies are hardened."

Afterwards, the two superintendents had a cordial and friendly exchange. Finally, under the mediation of Superintendent George Mosley, retired from the 5th Royal Guards Infantry Regiment 'Wellington Guards', the two superintendents I finally calmed down.

When a reporter asked why this operation against the French was far easier than Waterloo, Superintendent Mosley responded: "I think this is due to the personal level difference between the two commanders. It is true that the Duke of Wellington is the British leader." The most outstanding army general in history, Napoleon was also an extraordinary genius, so Waterloo's anxiety is understandable. However, in this arrest, an experienced police star like Superintendent Hastings showed his ability. In terms of quality, there is obviously a gap in class between Mr. Louis Bonaparte, who is wanted by the Apennine countries, so this arrest and the previous rescue operations are so powerful. Finally, thank you to all walks of life. Regarding our concern for police work, we will continue to uphold the fine British tradition of 'the police are the public and the public is the police' and provide firm and powerful protection for the lives and property safety of London citizens!"

Arthur was sitting in his office, reading line by line the major London newspapers that were released today.

His eyes moved slightly downward, and in an instant he discovered a new line of things.

Marriage notice: I am twenty-one years old, male, six feet tall, sunny and handsome...

When Arthur saw this, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and praised: "Benjamin is quite efficient in doing things. I just told him about this a few days ago, and it has been posted everywhere today. It seems like it will be published in the next issue of " The sales of "British" are about to go up."

As soon as Arthur finished speaking, he saw the red devil carrying a suitcase in his hand, wearing a big-brimmed hat, whistling and walking directly through the office door.

Seeing his appearance, Arthur raised his hand and said hello: "Good morning, Agares, are you enjoying your vacation?"

The Red Devil heard this, and threw his suitcase onto the desk. He unceremoniously picked up the teapot and poured himself a full cup of tea. He took a sip and said, "The beach in Portsmouth is barely acceptable, but the officers' mess at the Royal Naval Base is still not as good as the taste of St. James' Palace."

Arthur heard this, leaned back in his chair and said, "It's good to have something to eat. You are a devil, but you are so picky. If I remember correctly, didn't you say that you lived next to Bal's dung restaurant? You can swallow that kind of environment, and it's unfair for you to eat in the officers' mess?"

The Red Devil heard this, slapped the cup on the table, glared and cursed, "Bal? If you didn't mention Bal, I would have almost forgotten what happened just now! Arthur, you better be careful, I found that the power of Bal's pica may have has invaded Britain!" Arthur took out a handkerchief to wipe the tea on the table and asked, "What? Did you find special dishes in London?" "No!" Agares slammed his hands and threatened, "Do you know what I found when I passed by the Thames just now! I saw two men saving people who fell into the water!" Arthur nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "Isn't this good? Now that you mention it, I seem to remember that there seems to be a newly established civil group called... um... By the way, the Thames Drowning Rescue Association! You see, helping each other and developing your swimming skills, if there are more such enthusiastic people among London citizens, our work at Scotland Yard will be much easier. Agares, I know you have always had a low opinion of human beings, but you can't be so disgusted. Others have done good deeds, right? "

Agares shook his head and said, "Little bastard! I don't have to be jealous of good deeds like saving drowning people! But do you know what they did after rescuing people? The two men actually took out a pipe and a tube from the first aid kit beside them. "

Arthur picked up the teacup and said, "They did such a great thing and saved a life. It shouldn't be too much to smoke a cigarette slowly, right?"

"Is it about smoking a cigarette? Why don't you ask about the tube?"

Seeing his anxious look, Arthur had to obey reluctantly and said, "Okay, what is the tube for?"

Agares grabbed his face with both hands, almost tearing himself into a painful mask: "My King Solomon! After the two men took out the tube and pipe, one of them lit a cigarette and smoked , the other one took off the pants of the drowning man and pushed the pipe into his ass, and then the other one took a puff of cigarette, exhaled into the pipe, took a puff of cigarette, and exhaled into it. My thousands of years of experience were shattered by them in just ten minutes, like glass scattered all over the floor! "When Arthur heard this, he stopped drinking tea. He stared at Agares for a long time, put down the teacup after a long time, and was silent for a while before asking, "You still watched for ten minutes?" The Red Devil was stunned at first, and then cursed angrily: "Arthur! You get the point! This kind of behavior is not something that ordinary humans can do. This is definitely the erosion of Baal's filthy power on the human world. If you stupid humans don't pay attention, you will soon be able to eat snacks like him! Today, I saw that idiot who blew smoke rings into the pipe almost took a big bite! Well... But it can't be said that way, maybe that's his purpose? "

Arthur was originally thinking about the question raised by Agares, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of an advertisement in the newspaper.

He was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the printed picture in the newspaper and asked: "Is this what you saw today?"

Agares looked down and saw that it was written there - Intestinal smoke therapy device, smoke therapy treats various diseases, unanimously recommended by hundreds of doctors in London, and verified by the Thames Drowning Society, and has saved the lives of dozens of unfortunate drowning people.

Agares stared at the newspaper for a long time, first a moment of realization, then a trace of suspicion, but in the end it turned into a warm and kind smile: "Oh, my dear Arthur, don't you consider buying one? Give your intestines a fresh breath? "

"Sorry, I'm not interested. "

"But the newspapers say it's good, look, it has saved dozens of lives, this is a machine with immeasurable merits, I would like to call it the greatest invention of the 19th century! Look at you, the tobacco pipes are ready, you just need to buy a machine. "

"Didn't you just say that this was Barr's conspiracy and an invasion from hell? Why did you change your face so quickly? Agares, you are a knowledgeable devil. Don't you know whether blowing smoke rings into your butt can save people? I guess that group of people must have performed artificial respiration in addition to blowing smoke rings on the drowning people?"

"Oh! My dear Arthur, you don't believe me, you have to believe the doctor, right? Damn! It's really an incomparable 19th century. The previous 18 centuries of human beings have lived in vain. Except for the cross that crucified Jesus, there is nothing more amazing than this! How did they come up with such a shocking new invention? "

"Agares, I think it is worth considering whether we should believe in doctors in the 19th century. "

"Arthur, you are anti-intellectual!"

"I am happy to do so. Anyway, working in Scotland Yard does not require any brains. Just obey. "

"Don't you think you are very progressive? Why are you so resistant to new things? "

"Stop hating me. Not long ago, Scotland Yard was called an authoritarian military policeman by the news media. As for you, Agares, what exactly is your vindictiveness? What you have endured must be experienced by others. ? This kind of thing is not popular here."

"Hey! Arthur, what the hell..."

Arthur glanced at him and continued to work at the desk: "Agares, you have tried so hard to let me have a hot bite. But thank God, Alexander did not really fall into the Thames. You today I have to tell him carefully about this incident when I get back, and let him know that not only is it possible to fall into the river and drown after being drunk, but it is also possible to tear the sphincter. "

Seeing that Arthur was not fooled, Agares soon lost interest in playing tricks on him. He leaned against the desk and said, "It's so boring, you little bastard, you really don't have any sense of humor."

"If eating this kind of 'sandwich snack' can be called humorous in the devil's context, then I am indeed not as good as you."

"Arthur! I don't have that interest."

"I try to believe you."

Seeing that he couldn't get any bargains in this regard, Agares could only give up. He opened the lid of the sugar bowl and was about to eat a piece of candy as usual to relieve the awkward atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Arthur slapped his hand on the lid, and he stood up. There was an indescribable disgust in his expression: "Have you washed your hands?"

The red devil was stunned at first. He was about to get angry when he heard knocking on the door behind him.

Sheriff Field, who was holding the document, pushed the door open and said in a low voice: "Sir, Sir Peel just sent someone to the hall. He asked if you have time now. He wants to talk to you about vinyl records. "

As soon as Sheriff Field finished speaking, the knock on the door rang again. Tony walked into the room hurriedly and said: "Arthur, the autopsy report from the Royal Society of Medicine has come out. Regarding the maid and the cause of death of the victim, the doctors There seems to be some general doubt that there might be something other than drowning."
