Shadow of great britain

After Arthur finished reading the advertisement in front of him, he suddenly saw Director Luowan, who was sitting opposite and smoking, throwing an iron box containing cut tobacco at him.

Director Luo Wan said: "If you want to smoke, just take it yourself. By the way, you can also talk about your thoughts."

Arthur started the fire, leaned back on the chair and said: "Of course it's a good thing that Harrison is willing to withdraw the lawsuit, but the key to the problem is that he was the one who started this matter, and we at Scotland Yard didn't mess with him at all. If we just stopped it directly Isn't the investigation of the case telling other departments that we are quite easy to mess with? I know that our British police agency cannot be as intimidating as the Grand Paris Police Department in France or the Third Office of the Imperial Palace in Russia, but We are a violent organization after all, and we don’t ask members of parliament to respect us as much as they respect the Royal Navy or the Army, but we can’t just put a shit basin on our heads if they want to, right?”

When Director Luo Wan heard this, he showed a meaningful smile. He put his fingers on his chin, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice.

"You are right, Arthur. Although since Sir Peel ordered the establishment of Scotland Yard, the Ministry of the Interior's request for Scotland Yard has always been to try to show the image of a good gentleman in front of the citizens of London. We fully understand and respect it. The decision from above, and precisely because of this, our Scotland Yard police officers will do a lot of extra work, such as using police funds to give soup, clearing crowded roads, giving directions to outsiders, and helping citizens find their way back home. Cats and dogs, frightening disobedient little devils for those parents, etc.

Nowadays, looking at the whole of Europe, and even the world, there is no police who takes care of more shit and treats citizens with a gentler attitude than us. However, in the eyes of those short-sighted members of Congress, our efforts seem to be a sign of weakness and can be bullied. If we don't give them a longer memory, this kind of thing will definitely happen more and more in the future. "

Arthur took the letter from Sir Pierre from the hands of Director Rowan and glanced at it. The words in the letter were sincere, without any arrogance as a leader of a party, and the only focus revealed in the letter was to serve Bernie. ·Harrison begged Scotland Yard not to make matters worse.

At the same time, Sir Peel also promised that as long as the news passes, the Tories will definitely deal with Bernie Harrison seriously.

Arthur held his chin and thought: "It seems that Sir Peel tried his best to keep the unity of the Tory Party intact. Harrison committed such a big thing, but he didn't even ask him to resign from the House of Commons."

Director Rowan said: "The arrest of Louis Bonaparte itself has diluted the impact of the Bernie Harrison incident a lot. In addition, we did obtain some suspicious evidence in the Harrison case, and the murder The crime is a felony, and even members do not have the right to criminal immunity. Now if those members want to use this case to make an argument, it is untenable. The most they can do is accuse us of not reporting the issue to the Speaker in time. It can be said that most of the arguments are on our side now. If we forcefully want to take down Harrison, the most we can do is report in advance. The Speaker does not have enough legitimate reasons to reject our application. Of course, Sir Peel's kindness, We definitely have to watch it. It’s okay not to take Harrison, but it’s absolutely impossible for us to not make any noise.”

Arthur heard this, thought for a while, and said: "In fact, it doesn't matter if Harrison is not moved for the time being. After all, we can't directly convict him now. The most we can do is bring him to Scotland Yard for a few days of investigation. But If we want to hit guys like Harrison who don't take Scotland Yard seriously, there are other places to start. For example, Senator Harrison's small group."

"Small group?" Director Rowan frowned and said, "Arthur, are you kidding me? Harrison is a political broker who made his fortune selling perfume. He doesn't have much energy, but he can become a member of Congress because of his knowledge. There are many people in his group. There are many political bigwigs in his group. Now we can’t even completely take down Harrison, who has unfavorable evidence. Do you still plan to touch Earl Eldon or Drummond? , Crocker and the others?”

Arthur smiled and said: "Sir, as you said, Harrison is a political broker. Those big shots are just expanding their social circle through him. How can they be considered to be in the same group with him? Besides, if those big shots are If you want to target us at Scotland Yard, you can just do it directly in Parliament. Why resort to such small tricks? Those who can really use such small tricks are usually those with neither high nor low status. These guys are the ones jumping up and down. The main force.”

Director Luo Wan heard what Arthur meant. He took a puff of cigarette and blew it out: "It seems you have found the target?"

Arthur nodded, and he took out the arrest warrant for Bernie Harrison that had been issued by George Norton from his coat pocket.

"I guess you must have forgotten this. Mr. Norton has always had a good personal relationship with Mr. Harrison, but he sat silently while we arrested Mr. Harrison. You can definitely guess that in terms of causing trouble for us, this A judge who just took office also participated."

Director Luo Wan was smoking a cigarette while holding the arrest warrant and examining it carefully: "Removing a magistrate? Why do I feel that this is more difficult than removing a member of the peace? Removing a judge requires the pen of His Majesty the King. Approved personally. Besides, he just signed the wrong arrest warrant. This is not really a big mistake. Harrison’s problem is much more serious than him.”

Arthur smiled: "Of course I understand that one is a murder charge and the other is a work error. The nature of the two is certainly incomparable. But the problem is that Mr. Norton is not only an Oxford gentleman, but also a mindless dynamite personality. As for the document to remove the judge, His Majesty the King is definitely not willing to sign it casually, but if the removal of the judge is just to transfer him to another department, that is, it is an administrative document for job adjustment, then it will never be approved in front of His Majesty the King. question."

Luo Wan said in surprise: "Norton is going to be transferred to another department?"

Arthur said: "It's not that Mr. Norton wants to transfer to another department, but that he wants to make progress and go to the London District Attorney's Office that will be established soon to face more difficult challenges. But since I was in the Chancery Hall According to the information received, Mr. Norton’s idea is somewhat difficult to implement, so he is currently thinking about something big.”

"Big deal? What is he going to do?"

Arthur pointed to the letter from Sir Peel in front of him and said: "I'm worried that Mr. Norton may have a grudge against our boss, Viscount Melbourne, because he didn't get the position in the London District Attorney's Office, because Mrs. Norton seems to be related to Viscount Melbourne. There are some connections that are not easy to explain.

So, I suggest that you accede to Sir Peel's request and we will eventually drop the charges against Bernie Harrison, but only after Harrison drops the unconstitutional charges against Scotland Yard. I think this request is very appropriate, and Sir Peel should also understand it. After all, this matter is within our control.

But before that, during the parliamentary question tomorrow, please, in front of all MPs, please file an application for joint liability on behalf of Scotland Yard against Mr. Norton, who issued the arrest warrant, and by the way, make a request to change the coroner to inspect the body. All in all, we have to address the issues that arose in the Magistrate's Court in this case.

It doesn't matter whether the Parliament agrees to your requests or not, because all we want is to light a few sparks on this explosive barrel. Later, if Mr. Harrison drops the charges against Scotland Yard, it will naturally mean that the Ministry of Home Affairs cannot be further harmed. In this case, Mr. Norton may be angry and even feel angry because of your several proposals in Parliament. Maybe even panicked.

When his mental pressure rises, I will try to give him some trivial stimulation, such as a dismissal notice or something. "

"Then here's the question." Director Luo Wan knocked on the table: "Where did you get that dismissal notice?"

Arthur put away the documents on the table and said with a smile: "Sir, have you forgotten what I just said? I have held several preparatory meetings for the London District Prosecutor's Office with the Chancery in the past six months. Now the main framework Although it has been confirmed that the Attorney General of the London District Attorney's Office will be held by Mr. John Austin, Dean of the Law School of the University of London, there are still vacancies in several deputy positions. Unfortunately, the last appointment was Lord Luham asked me if I had any suitable recommendations."

"Ah..." Director Luo Wan heard this and completely understood Arthur's intention. He grinned and said: "I don't know much about this new organization. Arthur, can you explain it to me, so that I can avoid it?" Do you need to report to His Majesty the King when you are on duty as a prosecutor?"

Arthur smiled and shook his head slightly: "Of course not. The London District Prosecutor's Office is a subordinate agency of the Chancery. As long as the Chancery nods, it will be fine. And, sir, I must correct you. This is not a prosecutor, but a prosecutor." The prosecutor has not yet taken office, so he only needs to withdraw the appointment documents that have not yet been sent to him.”

Director Rowan smiled even brighter when he heard this: "Arthur, don't worry about this. I have lived in Britain for so many years. I am not sure about most things, but the only thing I am sure about is our British General Post Office." They are among the most inefficient at doing things, and I have always been very confident about them."

At this point, Director Luowan spoke again: "Norton's matter has been sorted out. Although we will eventually withdraw the lawsuit on Harrison's side, before that, we have to put some pressure on him. At least we He needs to be made to understand that there is a price to pay for standing up to Scotland Yard.”

"Of course." Arthur put the 'Stillik's Secret' advertisement on the table into his coat pocket: "At the very least, I can't just watch him continue to sell this thing. Moreover, I feel sorry for that unfortunate person. I am also very interested in what kind of misfortune the maid suffered."

…

London in the 19th century had always had no shortage of shopping districts, although for upper-class gentlemen and ladies, Regent Street, Jermyn Street and Savile Street were their best choices for purchasing various fashion products.

But Bond Street, named after Sir Thomas Bond, a close friend of King Charles II, is also a good place to go. Compared with the above three blocks, Bond Street’s advantage lies in its geographical location, as it connects Oxford Street and Pick-up Street. Dealey Street is the main traffic thoroughfare. The wealthy and powerful people living in Mayfair can collect all the high-end products they urgently need as long as they step out of their houses.

The most famous perfume shop on Bond Street and the most popular among ladies is Rubin Perfume Shop.

As for why this seemingly ordinary shop is famous, it starts with Mr. Rubin, the earliest owner of this shop.

Like many of the people making waves in London's fashion world, Mr. Rubin is French. In addition, he was also the royal perfumer of Napoleon's first empress, Josephine Beauharnais.

As a man who could concoct a scent that obsessed European conquerors, Mr. Rubin's perfume-making prowess goes without saying.

When dealing with ladies, Mr. Rubin often declares: Napoleon conquered Europe with force, and Josephine conquered Napoleon with fragrance. If you buy a bottle of my perfume, your husband will be the next Napoleon.

For men, Mr. Rubin has another saying: Give your lover a bottle of perfume, and she will be your Josephine. You don’t need to conquer Europe to still have a royal experience.

The boy who was busy in the perfume shop saw a gentleman dressed as a banker entering the store, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Sir, are you planning to buy some cosmetics for your lover? Rose water? Rouge? ? Or maybe you made a special trip to purchase our store’s treasure, the same style of Queen Josephine’s ‘Emperor’s Obsession’?”

"Emperor is obsessed with it?" Arthur raised his cane and poked his hat: "Does it smell like cheese?"

"Cheese flavor?" When the boy heard this, he was a little unhappy, but he still tried his best to maintain a smile: "What are you talking about? Emperor's obsession uses the best roses, pineapples, pears, and lavender. It’s made from dozens of essential oils. We don’t sell any cheese-flavored perfume, are you kidding me?”

After hearing this, Arthur retreated outside the store and looked at the sign of the perfume shop, and then said with certainty: "Have you been selling fakes? A friend of mine told me that the most authentic smell It should taste like cheese!"

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but question: "Sir! Our formula has not changed for more than ten years. If it is cheese-flavored, it can only be said that the perfume you bought must be fake. Napoleon even said to Joseph The empress praised the smell of perfume, could your friend be more professional than Napoleon himself?"

Arthur recalled it, and suddenly felt a little ashamed and said: "There is still a slight difference. To be honest, the one I know is the younger one."
