Chapter 282 Beauty Thief
Lu Li stayed at Coolmore Racecourse for five full days, not because of Jasmine, but because of Daniel. He conducted an in-depth interview with Daniel, not only truly understanding the current situation of the horse breeder industry, but also a deeper understanding of the entire horse racing industry. .

Afterwards, Brandon stayed at Coolmore Racecourse to study, while Lu Li and Brandon returned to London.Brandon flew non-stop to Porto to start a wine field trip, while Lu Li stayed in London to relax and enjoy his vacation.

Unlike the United States, the United Kingdom is a country full of historical deposits. Although their history is not long or rich, let alone compared with China, even compared with France, Italy, etc. There is no clear advantage.But the British cultural heritage still gives this land a unique flavor.

King's Cross Railway Station, located on the northeast side of London's city center, is one of the busiest railway stations in London and even the UK. However, since the "Harry Potter" series of novels came out, this railway station has become famous all over the world, just because the protagonist of the story Our train to Hogwarts starts from King's Cross Station, and the famous platform nine and three-quarters attracts countless tourists to come to pilgrimage.

Lu Li had been standing by the side for 25 minutes, and the tourists who came and went never stopped.It is now August, which is the peak season for tourism, and the bustling crowds are endless. Even because there are too many pilgrims, it once affected the normal passage of passengers at the station.

In the Harry Potter novels, Platform Nine and Three Quarters is the dividing brick wall between platforms nine and ten.

But in fact, platforms No. [-] and No. [-] are located in separate buildings from the main body of the station, and what separates the two platforms is not a wall, but two railways. JK-Rowling deliberately chose this location in the main part of the station, but she misremembered the number of the platform.

During the filming of the series, the station scenes were filmed between platforms four and five at the main station, and the crew changed the platform numbers to nine and ten.It is worth mentioning that the exterior scene shot in the movie is another station, St. Pancras Station, because the crew thinks its gothic appearance is more impressive than the real King's Cross Station.

Now, because of the great success of the series of novels and series of movies, countless tourists come here to look for Harry Potter, so the London City Hall has erected a special hall in the annex building where platforms [-] and [-] of King's Cross Station are located. A cast iron "Platform Nine and Three Quarters" sign.

Beneath the sign, half a luggage trolley model shows the magic in action: the half of the trolley near the passage is visible, while the other half seems to disappear through the wall.

Every visiting tourist will grab the handle of the trolley, imitate the appearance of Harry Potter, try to walk through the wall, reach platform nine and three quarters, and then take pictures.

Lu Li was standing next to platform [-] and three-quarters, but there were so many people waiting in line to take pictures that there was no end in sight, so he turned around and left, and went to visit platforms [-] and [-] where the movie was filmed. .

The current platforms No. [-] and No. [-] are normal platforms. Many passengers are standing on the platform and waiting. The trains come and go. It is a scene of daily life, and there is no trace of the magical world at all.

Suddenly, a crowd of people passed by, and a train was slowly entering the station in the distance. Lu Li stepped back, trying to make room for the passengers to pass, but he was going in the opposite direction from the crowd, so it was really difficult , he had to change direction and move sideways.

At this moment, he felt that someone bumped into him. He didn't have much thought at first. The crowd was bustling with each other, and there were quite a lot of physical contact. However, Lu Li reflexively touched his trousers pocket, and the pocket where the wallet was originally placed suddenly collapsed.

Encountered a thief.

Having experienced many battles in the country and experienced all kinds of scams and thieves, Lu Li's first reaction was indeed correct.

To be honest, if it weren't for the turbulent crowd, it would not be easy for the other party to succeed. The number of thieves in Europe and the United States is far inferior to that in China. Somersaulted.

But this is not the time to be upset. There are not only cash in the wallet, but also credit cards, US green cards, and driver's licenses. If you lose it, things will be very troublesome. Lu Li raised his head and stood on tiptoe, looking for strange figures in the crowd.

Among the people coming and going, Lu Li could clearly see that there were not many people walking in different directions, and he only saw five or six people in his line of sight. He quickly identified them, and then saw a slim figure speeding up. The footsteps disappeared around the corner.

His intuition sounded the alarm again, and Lu Li wasn't quite sure whether his judgment was accurate, but he had already followed quickly. Before there was a flash, any delay might lead to completely missing the other party's trace.Even if it is a mistake in judgment, it can only be a mistake, and it can be regarded as spending money to buy a lesson.

Lu Li broke through the crowd and rushed over with big strides, but due to the turbulent crowd and missing the opportunity, the distance between him and the other party was gradually increasing, and it was hard for him to turn the corner , the waiting hall of the entire station was laid out in sight, hundreds of thousands of tourists came rushing towards them, as if there were people everywhere in every corner of the line of sight, and the noisy scene immediately made Lu Li He froze for a moment, but he still caught that figure with sharp eyes.

It was a tall woman with a plump figure and exquisite appearance. Her long black hair hung down like a waterfall. She was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. She was dressed in an ordinary way, nothing special, and occasionally attracted people in the crowd. Some gazes, but not ostentatious.

But this back figure confirmed Lu Li's guess more and more. She was walking fast all the time. She didn't carry any luggage or camera. She only had a small handbag. She seemed to be in a hurry and left the station quickly.

Lu Li's footsteps did not stop at all, and he followed quickly. But when he reached the gate of the station, his field of vision became wider again, and then he lost the figure of the woman again. After a lot of effort, he finally saw the alley on the right. Lu Li was not sure if his eyes were dazzled, but he didn't have time to think, so he ran over quickly.

The time difference between the two times put Lu Li in a completely disadvantageous situation. When he ran to the entrance of the alley, the whole alley was empty without any figure.

On both sides of the alley are retro residential buildings. Just count the windows, and you can see [-] to [-] rooms within sight, and there are countless entrances on the first floor.In other words, the girl could enter any gate, there are countless possibilities, even the afterimage he saw just now was wrong, the girl went in a completely different direction, and his judgment was completely wrong.

Lu Li still reluctantly walked to the end of the alley and searched around, but still found nothing.

Being in a foreign country, his identity card was stolen, and this is going to be troublesome. Lu Li is still not sure whether he needs to go to the Chinese embassy to issue a certificate first, and then go to the American embassy to apply for relevant documents, or is there a problem? other processes.There is not a lot of cash in the wallet, and now they are all used to using credit cards, just replaced some pounds.

He should call the credit card company now and freeze the credit card.

Walking back, Lu Li calmed himself down, there were still a lot of things to deal with.Sure enough, walking outside must not be taken lightly.

"Crack", there was the sound of a lighter rubbing against his ears. Lu Li raised his head and saw a door being pushed open. A woman came down and was lighting a cigarette with her head down. Leaning against the wall, the slender legs are like a beautiful landscape, which makes the eyes cast over.

Scanning up along the legs, the proud buttocks curve, slender waist line, turbulent chest/chest curve, simple white T-shirt and light blue jeans, but it vividly outlines the overflowing youth, with a kind of Fatal attraction, flirtatious, sexy/sensual, yet dangerous.

The girl raised her head and exhaled a puff of smoke. The deep facial features became blurred in the mist, which made people want to explore the mystery.

Then her gaze collided with Lu Li's gaze. She felt Lu Li's probing gaze, but she was not shy at all. Instead, she raised her eyebrows, her eyes were hot and bold, and she even made some teasing, as if she was initiating an attack. The challenge is also an invitation.

The smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth rose slightly, his eyes were meaningful, and he took a step unhurriedly. As the distance between the two of them was shortening, the girl raised her voice and said, "Are you going to just watch there? Or are you going to Take some action?"

The undisguised words can easily remind people of standing on the street/prostitute/woman, but she does not have that vulgar, lust/desire, cheap temperament, but instead has a kind of primitive explosive power, wild and sharp, full of enthusiasm .

"Are you sure?" Lu Li said with a half-smile, and before he knew it, his footsteps had come to the girl's side.

The girl had some unexpected reactions. Generally speaking, Asian faces are always a little shy, and they often run away when faced with such explicit words.But she looked at Lu Li carefully, then her expression changed, and she turned around and was about to leave.

However, she has missed the best time.

Lu Li supported the wall with one hand, blocking the girl's way of leaving, and then saw the other party's move to dodge, his right hand firmly grasped the girl's arm, and at the same time, his left knee was fixed between the girl's legs, firmly Imprisoning the girl in place, "It's nice to finally see your face."

She is the thief.
