Although Zhang Heng and Holmes were quite happy during this time, the two had only known each other for a few weeks after all, not to mention the profound friendship. Zhang Heng persuaded him to say that the latter didn’t take it seriously and didn’t say anything, after all They are all adults and already have sufficient qualifications to be responsible for their actions.
Sherlock Holmes gave a contented sigh before Zhang Heng left the house, and suggested, “You rarely come to London. Have time to go around, not only to see with your eyes, but also to observe the city carefully and record those details. , Will also help you solve the case in the future. “
Zhang Heng un’ed, “My name is Mrs. Hudson and I will bring you lunch.”
“Thank you very much.”
…………
In fact, even without Holmes ’s reminder, the tour of London has always been in Zhang Heng ’s plan. Holmes no doubt knows the city very well. He can walk at the ball banquets of high society (although he is quite hypocritical about the red tape in it To sneer), you can also talk and laugh with those coachmen drinking dark beer.
If Zhang Heng wants to win this competition and complete the main task, he needs to narrow the gap between the two parties as much as possible.
So in the afternoon, he also walked out of the house. Zhang Heng did not call the carriage, but went straight to the street.
He first went to the lively Queen ’s Market, where he could pay a shilling to see the Imperial Family Clarence vase, a glass, enamel and gold product custom-made for George IV. It is said that it took 4 skilled workers15 It was only produced in 3. Apart from this market, there are also gadgets from all over the world, cotton clothes in India, tea from China … Then Zhang Heng took a boat tour of the Thames, and there are factories and Houses, densely packed chimneys continuously emit black smoke, and the shore is filled with countless ships, which are getting denser and denser, leaving only a narrow passage in the middle. The bare-chested boatman smokes smoke at the stern, said by Dickens The fog of “sliding sin” enveloped the entire city.
Carriage drove across the road, the flower sellers carried the flower baskets lightly through the crowd, and the shoe squatted squatted on the ground and waved the shoe brush hard, hoping to earn more tips.
West of Charing Cross is London ’s main business and entertainment center and the largest business center in England. The famous Western Region theatre complex is also located here. On the contrary, the east side of the main Sect street to the north of the Thames River is another scene.
In the Middle Ages, it was still a rural area with a sparse area, but with the rapid expansion of the City of London, the population became denser, the houses here were generally old and broken, and they were low and dense, and the middle road was narrow and curved. Originally the residence of sailors, shipbuilders and a large part of the Jews, it is now a gathering place for all low-income groups.
The population here is very dense. There are 30000 people in half a square mile of the street. Basically, there are a lot of people living in each house. The lighting conditions are poor, and there is a lack of ventilation. The shared toilets are very dirty. There was a bad smell, and the result was frequent epidemics.
Spot rash and typhoid fever are the most common epidemics. The first cholera outbreak in the early 19th century killed about 6000 people, and the subsequent outbreaks of cholera killed more than 10000 people, most of them in the Eastern District. The poor.
At the same time, the East End is also the place with the highest risk of crime in London.
There are 20010000 people living here, but there are no important public facilities, no municipalities, no theater galleries, no soldiers …-nothing, like a forgotten corner, there is no history and no future.
Western Region’s and the others will not come here, unless 10000 is a last resort, you need to contact the police at Scotland Yard, and several people will accompany you to ensure safety.
Zhang Heng didn’t come here until he changed his clothes, but after a while, he was still stared at.
The main reason is that his oriental face is more dazzling, and as a modern man in the 21st century, his skin is better than many nobles in this era, even if he does not care much. Even if he changes his clothes, it still looks different from the poor people living in the Eastern District.
Two little ghosts twitched past him with branches, and one of them slipped on him.
“I’m sorry sir,” the little ghost’s eyes rolled round and round, and when he got up, he continued to chase his companion, but as soon as he took a step, he was picked up by the collar.
“What are you doing, don’t do anything to me! I can warn you, do you know who my big brother is ?! No one dares to provoke him in this neighborhood!”
“Really?” Zhang Heng said, but he didn’t stop. He directly fell one by one. Zhang Heng grabbed one leg of the latter and shook it vigorously. As a result, three wallets fell out of the little ghost. , And some bits and pieces of gadgets.
“Your harvest today is pretty good.” Zhang Heng tossed the devil aside and then picked up his wallet.
“Wait for me, don’t want to leave here today!” The little ghost felt insulted, his face widened, and he didn’t pick up the remaining spoils of war, and ran away.
Of course, Zhang Heng was not interested in coping with any kid’s contract. The dust on the pats wallet continued to move forward.
In fact, Zhang Heng had already heard of the notoriety of the Eastern District, but he had been in the pirate den, and he did n’t think there was any place in the World that was more confusing than there until he came to the White Church District in the Eastern District. I have to admit that it is worse than Nassau.
Although the bottom pirates are also very poor in Nassau, at least they still have freedom and hope for the future. Everywhere in the taverns on the island, people can hear people talking about the ancient and mysterious treasures and about wealth. The oily merchant ship, the monster in the sea, the beautiful mermaid, even if they haven’t even found a boat, and no pirate group is willing to accept them, but everyone’s face is still filled with a fascinating self-confidence.
Like a black beard in the future, this is also what Zhang Heng likes to do in Nassau. There is a vigorous Life Strength hidden in the chaos and disorder, and this is exactly what the Eastern District lacks.
More terrifying than poverty is numbness and despair.
This may also be the reason why people like Pearson want to leave here regardless of everything. Zhang Heng has seen all the way. They are hungry children, painful fathers and daughters, drunken villains. People only have homicides or epidemics. When I think of it here.
Zhang Heng walked another section of the road and suddenly heard the quarrel coming in front of him.
