Tamamo said that Her Majesty's body smells like the dead, in other words, it's the smell of corpses, right?

The banquet hall, which was originally bright and lively, seemed to turn gloomy in an instant after he said these words, and it suddenly turned from a cocktail party to a thriller and suspense theater.

No matter what the age of Her Majesty the Queen is, Yuan Zezhen can be sure that she is indeed still alive, able to move and speak, but how can there be a corpse smell on a living person?

Or, does it have something to do with Her Majesty covering herself airtight?

Yuan Zezhen quietly hid the doubts in his heart.

Afterwards, the queen asked him a lot of things, mostly about how he was doing abroad these years, and whether he was used to it after returning. They were all very homely and warm questions. It can be seen that the queen is really Concerned about "Zhenya".

Yuan Zezhen answered according to the standard template given by No. 00, and then the queen was obviously very happy, and pushed him to the banquet hall, wanting him to communicate with people more and make more friends.

... No, he didn't want to make friends.

Even in Britain during this period, it is better to say that as long as you are in the upper class, interpersonal communication usually involves intrigue. If you want to make friends, you have to struggle to distinguish whether the other person’s smiling face is real, which is too tiring.

So at the beginning, when Yuan Zezhen walked down, many people came up to talk with wine glasses, but because he is really a chatter, no one can stay in that awkward atmosphere for ten seconds. He left again for various reasons.

In fact, Yuan Zezhen's expression was indifferent throughout the whole process, and then he kept "um", "ah", "oh", "ok" and "okay" five consecutive times.

He was standing in the corner of the banquet hall, waiting for the dinner to end.

The queen wanted him to expand his interpersonal relationship with the standard of an elder, and he didn't refuse, did he? It's just that those people walked away by themselves, and she couldn't say anything.

However, Yuan Zezhen heard a few nobles not far away talking about something.

"...What on earth is Her Majesty the Queen thinking? There is still a banquet at this time..."

"There is no way, the incident happened, and now there is no news from Scotland Yard..."

event?

Hara Ze really noticed the word.

Has anything happened recently?

The system said that he can go back as long as the main event of this world is over. Is this the main event?

Amakusa Shiro: "According to the knowledge I have been given, at this point in time, that is probably the only major event that happened. '

Shocked the world, and now also feared - Jack the Ripper.

Even people like Hara Zema who don't know much about history know Jack the Ripper and some events about Jack the Ripper.

Because this incident is so famous, in the modern age of his original world, there are countless works adapted from this incident, even if he doesn't want to know, he has to know.

If he calculated the time carefully, the incident of Jack the Ripper did take place at this time in connection with the year he read in the newspaper.

...Eh, wait?

But in that case, whether it is the age of the Queen or Nightingale, is it wrong?

Didn't it mean that the timeline of this world has moved backwards as a whole? If it really moved, the incident of Jack the Ripper would never have happened at this time.

Could it be that the nobles were not discussing this incident?

Yuan Zezhen was puzzled, and then quietly moved a few steps behind the people who were talking there, and continued to listen to them.

Then he was convinced that what they were talking about was indeed the famous Jack the Ripper incident.

In modern British history, Jack the Ripper was the only one who brutally murdered prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of ​​London's East End.

From the conversations of these nobles, it can be heard that the murderer is not called Jack the Ripper. After a dead prostitute was discovered not long ago, a new body was discovered near Whitechapel two days ago.

The deceased was also a prostitute, and when the body was found, it was beyond recognition. The face was beaten into bruises, some front teeth fell off, and the neck was cut twice.But the most cruel thing was that the abdomen was cut open, the intestines were dragged out, and the baby girl in the womb was severely stabbed by a sharp knife.

If the murdered prostitute just made Scotland Yard think that this was just an ordinary murder, the appearance of the No.2 victim meant that this had become a serial murder case, and the murderer's cruelty was chilling.

The reason why Jack the Ripper is called so by the world is because he claimed in the letter when he sent a letter to the news agency when he committed the third case.

In other words, although this case has attracted the attention of Scotland Yard, it has not yet been given that much attention. Although the dinner held by Her Majesty the Queen was more to celebrate the return of "Zhenya", incidentally, it also In order to let these nobles rest assured.

In fact, the nobles didn't take these two incidents to heart at all. Scotland Yard suspected that this was a serial murder?Oh, so it was a serial murder case. Anyway, the incident happened around the slums, and the dead were prostitutes, so it had nothing to do with them.

"...Will the incident happen again? It is so terrible that I dare not go out at night."

A woman in a gorgeous dress spoke, but there was not much fear in her words.

That's right, as a nobleman, she has a bunch of servants following her wherever she goes, so how could she go to the slums alone at night?

The incident of Jack the Ripper is well-known throughout the world, because the social environment and various factors in Britain at that time were not as modern as it was, and there were no high-tech means, so this incident became an unsolved case.

In fact, after the incident, Scotland Yard had no idea how to solve the case. After three years of investigation, they found nothing. Queen Victoria finally ordered the termination of the investigation of this incident.

Ah, no, Yuan Ze really felt that when he was watching TV in the medical hall, he seemed to see that someone had already found out who the murderer was through various high-tech means?

But that didn't matter to him either.

Even if he knew the identity of the murderer and knew that someone would die next, he would not intervene.

No. 00 said that he only needs to follow his identity and stay here like a vacation, and he won't ask for trouble.

After that, Yuan Zezhen was not interested in what topics those nobles talked about. He thought he would sit in the corner until the dinner was over, but unexpectedly, someone came to talk to him.

What, haven't all those nobles come here for a round? Even if they didn't come, after seeing his previous performance, they wouldn't come up for an awkward chat, right?

When he heard someone calling him, Yuan Zezhen was already prepared to be indifferent to Wulian, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

It was a very good-looking young man. His long black hair was tied into a ponytail and slightly curled. He was wearing a traditional dress. His eyes, which were the same color as his hair, were slightly curved and smiling.

"Master Zhenya Marquis." He called out, even with a nice voice.

The young man just stood there, like a painting, many gorgeously dressed ladies looked at this side, even if they used lace fans to cover their faces, they couldn't hide their sight.

Yuan Zezhen's aesthetics was raised to the ceiling by his followers, and he felt that his followers were the most beautiful, but the young man in front of him, how to say, was not inferior in terms of appearance.

For this alone, he is willing to talk to young people.

Who doesn't like good-looking people?

As far as the young man's appearance is concerned, he almost sets off the nobles around him as crooked melons and cracked dates.

But... who is this? ?

Yuan Zezhen didn't know him at all, or he didn't know any of these nobles here. If he hadn't been dragged to see the queen, he wouldn't even know who the queen was.

"Ah, Lord Marquis has been out for so long, so he probably doesn't recognize me?" The young man smiled, "I'm Lianka, and I was often taken care of by Lord Marquis."

'……who? '

Even if the young man explained his identity, Yuan Zezhen was still very confused, he could only ask No. 00.

No. 00: '...Even if you ask me, I don't know. '

It just set an identity for Yuan Zezhen, but it is impossible to list who this identity has intersected with, it is like only planting a seed, how many leaves does the growing tree have It doesn't know at all, it's all automatically completed by the world itself.

Yuan Zezhen chatted with the young man, that is, Li Anka, and finally figured out what the relationship between them was.

Lianka's title is quite high, he is an earl, but when he first inherited the title, his foundation was unstable. Many nobles targeted him and wanted to carve up his rights.

At that time, "Zhenya" helped him for some reason, and then Lianka survived the crisis, and now almost no one dared to provoke him.

... Then he is here to repay his favor now?

Hara Ze really thought about it.

"It was really thanks to the Marquis at that time. I will always remember this kindness in my heart." Lianka said, he paused, and then smiled: "If it wasn't for the Marquis, I would have died at the age of 14."

……Um? ?

14 years old? ?

Yuan Zezhen suddenly thought, wow, from the setting of "Zhenya", he has been abroad for many years, and now he said that Lianka helped him when he was 14 years old, and Lianka can't say anything now He should be in his 20s, so how old is "Zhenya".

None of these nobles seem to have expressed their opinions on Yuan Zezhen's appearance. Could it be that there is a hidden setting of "children's face"? ?

"Master Marquis?"

"Ah, sorry, I was distracted just now." Yuan Zezhen looked at Lianka and said, "Long time no see, you have grown up so much."

Appeared, a golden sentence that often appears in TV dramas, applied to this kind of scene.

Acting like I just remembered, when in fact I didn't remember anything!

"Really?" Lianka looked a little shy, "In my opinion, the Marquis doesn't seem to have changed much?"

"Ah, I almost forgot," as if he suddenly remembered something, he handed the bouquet he took out from nowhere to Yuan Zezhen.

"Flowers, here you are." He smiled.

Yuan Zezhen took the bouquet of flowers. Although he didn't understand why he suddenly sent flowers to himself, he still said "thank you."

Then he looked at the flower in his hand and found that he had never seen this kind of flower.

He didn't have much research on flowers, and the only things he could recognize were common lilies and roses.

'what is this flower? ' he asked No. 00.

'This is a Christmas rose. 'Road 00,' but what you're holding... seems to be some sort of cultivar? '

Although it is called Christmas rose, it has nothing to do with roses in the family Rosaceae, and its appearance is different. The name is entirely because the flowering period is in winter and early spring, around Christmas, so it is called Christmas rose.

It is said that people born with the blessing of this flower also have contradictory personalities.At the same time, it has a childish and mature personality, which is unpredictable.

Why did Lianka send him such flowers?

Yuan Ze was really puzzled.

Then Lianka said again: "It's because I cultivated this flower myself, and it represents a little of my heart."

Yuan Zezhen didn't think much about it, so naturally he didn't notice that the smile in the young man's eyes suddenly deepened.

"What's more," he turned his head to cover up a "cough", looked at Yuan Zezhen, and said softly, "I wonder if Lord Marquis is free recently?"
