The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 236 Ch.235 Newspaper
"Daily Mail! Great doctor Isaac Brown fell to his death!"

"The Illustrated London News! Mary Brown - 'This is what my husband is like!'"

"Youth Daily! "Shocking Scam"! Who is the scammer? "

……

Newsboys shouted along the street, carrying cloth bags and waving newly printed newspapers in their hands.

Passersby on the roadside took action and picked out the ones they often saw.

However, no matter which newspaper, the front page tells the same story:

Isaac Brown's death.

The more serious and old-fashioned ones just tell the readers stiffly that a man jumped from a building and was broken into pieces;
Some of the more witty ones added some speculations: for example, why he died, who was the person who set up the scam, and how much money he made;

Pictorials are much more interesting.

That's not called news, it should be called "secondary creation".

The reporter first described Isaac Brown's death, as other newspapers did, and then humorously told readers that he might have tried to sit up and perform a highly skilled surgery on himself before dying - unfortunately, there were no saws or tourniquets at the scene except sharp stones.

Apparently he almost survived miraculously.

Almost all newspapers were certain that he died because of this scam, and those who wanted to know the details used various channels to find out the amount of debt he owed.

Deep in debt.

A few newspapers published the words of his wife, Mary Brown.

(It is said that a reporter interviewed her the next day)

The newspaper wrote:

"After I asked, the doctor's wife said with certainty that her husband often drank, prostituted, and had affairs with some female patients. He often came home and beat her and her children, and often threatened her with a knife:
If this matter is told, first kill her and then kill her child.

Lady Mary said: 'I find it hard not to believe it, for he is a surgeon and must know how to kill people without being discovered by the police.'

Frankly speaking, as a journalist, I also feel genuine fear for these bloody butchers with saws.

What do they think about every day?
What do you think about when you look at your wife and see her sleeping soundly?

In addition, I found a lot of bruises on the back of Mrs. Mary's hands and cheeks.

These are definitely signs of having been beaten.

Through her son, I learned that he had drunk a lot of alcohol that night, the night Isaac Brown fell from the building, and beat them severely for half an hour.

The benefactor is above!
Open your eyes and look at this vile, shameless and unethical doctor!

If a woman can lie, then a child, a boy who has not yet grown up...

Will it lie?

I feel deep regret for this - not for the man who fell from the building, but for this lady and her child who lost her father.

I implore all borrowers, and I remind you all:
The Father of All Things once said, "Let the good people come to me and go to heaven; let the bad people go down to hell, which has no bottom and is filled with flames."

Ladies and gentlemen.

May you have mercy on a suffering woman and helpless child, and may the All-Father protect His devout followers."

The words in the newspaper caused heated discussion.

at this time.

Mary was sitting with her son Shu in a bright and fancy dining room.

A dining room in one of the huge rooms of a manor, in the main building.

She changed into an extremely gorgeous long dress, and her son was no longer as childish as usual. He went from being at a loss to enjoying it.

Daniel Heffer had a few newspapers lying next to him, weighed down by a porcelain bowl of thick soup.

"There is an appeal for donations to you, Mary."

The words in the newspaper made him laugh all morning. What a bunch of fools.

The person who proposed the donation was a gentleman. After discussing with his wife, he thought that the matter could be publicized - not only to warn the citizens and encourage them to gamble less, but also to help Mary Brown, the poor woman, and her poor child.

The couple had knighthood and were the proposers.

But the donors are interesting.

Those who had status only provided verbal support, making a name for themselves in newspapers and among the crowd.

On the contrary, it was the poor who responded with real money and kind donations.

No, it cannot be simply described as 'poor'.

The poor who can afford food and clothing——

After reading the newspaper, these lower-class people were furious and accused Isaac Brown of being immoral. He not only ruined the reputation of the doctor and his family, but also squandered all the money he had accumulated over the years. He beat his wife, took out his anger on his children, and pretended to be a gentleman to the outside world, trying to be a decent person.

This really made them angry.

They found the gentleman, gave a few pennies or half a shilling, and left with spit:

Some even approached reporters and told them that although they had a hard time, they couldn't bear to see a well-fed lady fall into poverty.

How would Daniel Heffer describe these people...

'Poverty is in their bones and in their blood.'

Mary Brown smiled softly.

"Although I was having a hard time, I couldn't bear to see a well-fed lady fall into poverty."

She loved this passage so much that she kept asking Daniel who said it.

"I'll go and thank you sometime, Daniel. Apart from Isaac Brown, I've rarely seen anyone so stupid." She stirred the spoon slowly, with a strange look on her face: "It's unbelievable that these people can have such a great hatred for Brown."

it's not true.

Daniel Heffer explained with a smile: "How can there be hatred between people who have never met each other? Mary, they hate him because of who he is."

Because of Isaac Brown's background.

'Success will come with hard work' - this man who came from a poor family was once hailed as a twin role model in the medical field together with Edward Snow.

Edward Snow's father was a worker and Isaac Brown's father was a restaurant waiter.

They were born in the mud, climbed up the ladder step by step, washed the filth from their trouser legs and soles, put on top hats and cloaks.

“That’s why there’s hatred.”

Mary didn't understand, and Daniel didn't explain any further.

He suddenly mentioned something, that important letter - very 'casually', as if he suddenly remembered it and asked a question.

"letter?"

Mary Brown paused, wiped her son's mouth, and put down the tablecloth. When she looked at the man again, there was some trepidation in her eyes: "What you said before..."

"That's the way to make people live longer..."

Daniel's smile was still gentle: "For people like us, it's very simple - or rather, very simple, my love."

"Really?"

"of course."

"Incredible..." Mary Brown knew Daniel's situation clearly, and because of this, she despised Isaac Brown even more, despised his arrogance, and despised the 'wisdom' he was proud of - he was not as good as her lover in every aspect.

This is the 'son' of Chloe's family, and his last name is Heffer.

She will be able to lie in a pile of gold coins in the future.

Enjoy, Mary.
