Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

【Raki, I'm already on Tower Bridge, where should I send the keys? ——Morton】

After sending the email, Morton slowed down and stopped temporarily by the bridge, pretending to be a pedestrian looking at the river view, leaning on the guardrail with both hands, watching the cruise ships on the river.

Not long after, the phone rang and a new email arrived.

[The bridge tower on the side of the Tower of London, the highest floor, to the viewing window facing the Tower of London. ——Raki]

London Tower Bridge was built in 1886. It is the first bridge from the Thames estuary. It is known as the "London Main Gate". It is built across the Thames River.

There are two main towers on the bridge, with stairs for people to go up and down, as well as exhibition halls, museums, and bars, which also allow visitors to climb up and look far away and enjoy the scenery of the upper and lower reaches of the Thames.

The Tower of London is on the river bank on one side, and it can be reached from the Tower Bridge. It is actually a palace and a fortress. It was built much earlier than the Tower Bridge, and it was built as far back as the 11th century.

Morton soon arrived at the bridge tower on the side of the Tower of London, went up the stairs, and reached the highest floor. He walked to the viewing window, looked at the river view of the Thames, and was about to take out his mobile phone to send a message. When I read the mail, I saw half a white cigarette butt falling out of the window.

This is……

"Ding dong!"

New email: [Don't disturb anyone, turn the window and come out. ——Raki]

On the two main towers of Tower Bridge in London, there are white marble tops and five small spiers, which look like two crowns from a distance.

Chi Feichi stood on the edge of the top of the slope. After sending the email, he put the mobile phone and the necklace he had taken off in advance into a fireproof and water-repellent bag, pulled out the tether and hung it around his neck, and put it under his clothes.

I'm afraid I'm going to fall into the water in a while, so be sure to put away your important belongings in advance.

Taking advantage of the tourists' inattention, Morton turned out the viewing window and looked up to see the figure in black leaning against the sloping roof.

No wonder his colleagues said that Lark was missing, but on the roof of Tower Bridge...

With Lak's face disguised, Chi Feichi looked down at Morton, and then at the Tower of London on the river bank.

Morton walked along the narrow outer window sill. When he got close, he said, "Why did you choose the place on the top of the tower? Climbing so high is very dangerous."

On the high tower, the strong wind blowing head-on was not blocked by the building, and the clothes and hair of the two were constantly blowing.

"This kind of place is not dangerous for us, is it?" Chi Feichi hissed, "Did you bring the key?"

"Here it is." Morton took out two keys from his trousers pocket, and handed them to Chi Feichi, "I'm sorry, I finally asked for leave for a walk, and ended up climbing up and down such a high place again. I couldn't help complaining."

Chi Feichi took the key and put it in his coat pocket, "Thank you for your hard work."

Morton knew that being polite was useless, even if they were planning to kill someone, these guys didn't mind being polite, but he couldn't pretend he didn't hear it, "It's nothing, but are these two keys very important? "

"There may be something hidden in it that I've always wanted to know." Chi Feichi hissed, and looked at the Tower of London again. …

"Luck, do you know anything about the Tower of London? This fortress has stood on the banks of the Thames for centuries," Morton also looked at the Tower of London. Thinking of the bug he had put on his body, his heart beat faster, and he pretended to sigh casually. "At first it was the king's residence, then it was the king's accommodation before boarding the plane, and then it became the last residence of the royal family members, and then it became a tourist attraction..."

He wanted to deliver a message to his superiors—Ruck was alone at the top of the tower.

Even if there is an organized eyeliner nearby, it is on the tower bridge below, and they also have people below. On their site, their manpower will not be less than that of that organization, and when you look out from here, you can see the surroundings at a glance, and there is no one suitable for sniping. He didn't find any snipers nearby...

Their people can sneak into the tower. Before the people in the organization notice the anomaly, some of them guard all the windows leading to the roof, and some of them turn out the windows and surround Lak.

It's just that although this place is hidden, it is easy to be surrounded. Why did Lark choose to meet him here?

Was it his latest cooperation that made Lark let down his guard, or...a trap?

If they tried to capture Lark, if they failed, he wouldn't be able to lurk any longer, but if he didn't try, he wouldn't be reconciled to seeing such a good opportunity slip by.

Chi Feichi looked at the Tower of London silently, without speaking.

Of course he knew about the Tower of London, and there was a flock of crows whose wings had been broken.

Feimo had already visited the Tower of London, but luckily he came out with all his beards and tails. When he received Feimo's message, he was really worried that Feimo would be caught, cut off his wings and locked up.

"There are the Treasure Hall, the Mint, and the Armory." Morton smiled bitterly in his heart. He chose to stay here to chat with Lark, and he had already made a decision, "Of course, there is also the notorious prison... "

His decision is - catch!

Even if this was Luke's temptation to him, everything was in favor of them capturing Luke. Here, he really couldn't think of how Luke could escape when he was surrounded.

As long as they can catch Lark, they can obtain more information about that organization than he has been lurking for three to five years.

He has been lurking for three to five years, and he probably has reached the position of Lark who can direct operations and clean up undercover agents for the organization, right?

The signal has been sent out, the opportunity is not lost, and the loss will never come again. Before his colleagues surround him, he must hold Luke, relax his vigilance, and try not to let Luke find out that there is something abnormal in the bridge tower.

After making up his mind, Morton took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, randomly took out a cigarette, and took a bite. He was going to take a look at the scenery and smoke a cigarette. It was impossible for Lak to drive him away in a hurry. If Lak was going to leave, he would I also have to find a way to hold Lark, "There are torture devices, guillotines, and legendary haunted rooms. When it comes to the Tower of London, it always seems to remind people of Mary I, the origin of the name of the cocktail 'Bloody Mary', Mary -Tudor queen..."

Chi Feichi guessed Morton's plan, looked at the white buildings of the Tower of London, delayed time cooperatively, and hissed, "I think her father, Henry VIII, has a deeper relationship with the Tower of London than Mary I .”…

The origin of Mary Tudor with the Tower of London is only that she imprisoned her half-sister in the Tower of London.

The reason why people remember this period of history is probably because her sister later became the famous "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth I.

Mary - Tudor's life is comparable to human tragedy.

Mary's mother was originally a Spanish princess, married Henry VIII, King of England at the time, and became queen, but because she did not give birth to a son, Henry VIII forced her to divorce.

Henry VIII then married his mistress Anne Boleyn. From then on, Mary Tudor was no longer the eldest princess, but was classified as an illegitimate daughter by Henry VIII, and became a servant of his half-sister. Known as 'Miss Mary-Tudor', not Princess Mary, she was not allowed to see her mother, and was not even allowed to attend her funeral after her death.

At the same time, when Mary was still a little princess, Henry VIII frequently discussed marriage with the crown princes of various European countries. Those men either felt that Mary was too young to wait, or refused to get engaged due to political reasons. She was classified as an 'illegitimate daughter', and no one asked for a marriage. She was single until she was in her thirties.

When Mary came to the throne, she was nearly forty years old. At that time, someone wanted to marry her, but she wanted to marry her supporter and cousin, Emperor Charles V of Spain.

Charles V was indeed a supporter of Mary, but he did not intend to renew his wife after his death, and felt that he was too old in his fifties, so he recommended his son who would rule on his behalf.

Later, Mary married her cousin's son...

In those years, the royal families of various European countries always had this kind of troublesome close relative marriage relationship.

In the married life of young husbands and old wives, Mary's husband respected her, but it was not love between men and women, and Mary married him to have an heir.

It's a pity that Mary had false pregnancies many times and was ridiculed by the court. She still didn't go all out to give birth to a son.

The grievances and grievances of the past were also unavoidable due to religious factors.

Due to the influence of her mother, Mary was a Catholic. The Protestantism converted by her stepmother and her father even classified her as an illegitimate daughter and did not recognize the marriage relationship of her parents. Several Protestants, including the archbishop who declared her parents' marriage annulled.

After Mary came to power, this kind of large-scale revenge against her father, half-sister, and Protestant believers also earned her the title of "Bloody Mary".

It's a pity that in the end, Mary could only pass on the throne to her sister who believed in Protestantism, and could no longer hinder the development of Protestantism. It was impossible to say whether the counterattack succeeded or failed in her life.

Compared with Mary I who imprisoned her sister in the Tower of London, Henry VIII has much more stories about the Tower of London.

Henry VIII had six queens in his lifetime.

After abandoning Mary I's mother, Henry VIII married his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Because Anne Boleyn failed to give Henry VIII a son, Henry VIII set his sights on Anne's maid of honor.

Subsequently, Henry VIII imprisoned Anne in the Tower of London on the grounds that Anne had fornicated her younger brother.

Within a year, Anne was beheaded, and her execution took place in the Tower of London.

Henry VIII immediately announced that his marriage was invalid. Together with Anne's maid, he finally gave birth to his son Edward Tudor, who was later Edward VI. Mattress fever is dead.

After that, Henry VIII married another princess of a small country. Because he didn't like her appearance, Henry VIII once again declared his marriage invalid and divorced the princess of a small country.

After that, Henry VIII married his fifth wife, Catherine Howard. After marriage, Catherine had an affair with the minister, and was hanged after being imprisoned by Henry VIII in the Tower of London Prison.

Until the sixth wife of Henry VIII...

At that time, Henry VIII was old, in poor health, and even more irritable. Fortunately, the sixth wife would back down at the right time and finally survived.

In addition, Henry VIII's sister, Jane Gray, was pushed to the throne after Edward VI due to political and religious factors. After only nine days in office, she was deposed because of political and religious factors. Parliament supported Henry VIII's daughter Mary As the queen, Jane Gray, then 16 years old, was imprisoned in the Tower of London and soon executed in secret.

Two wives were executed in the Tower of London, sisters were executed in the Tower of London, one daughter imprisoned the other daughter in the Tower of London...

Speaking of the Tower of London, it was difficult for him not to think of Henry VIII and the absurd history of those years in England.
