Chapter 351 Eight or two people who cannot be found

Fascinating as the days of carnival were, they could not in the least take away the rest of Marius' thoughts. The wedding was being prepared, and while he waited for the occasion, he managed to make a painstaking and careful inquiry into the past. He should be grateful in many ways, he is grateful for his father, and he is grateful for himself. One was Thenardier, and the stranger who had sent Marius back to M. Gillenormand's house. Marius was determined to find these two people, he did not want to forget them by marrying and living a happy life, and he was not afraid that failing to repay the debt he owed would cast a shadow on his life that would be brilliant from now on. .He doesn't want to have an outstanding debt behind him, he wants to have a cleared receipt for the past before happily moving into the future life.

Although Thenardier is a villain, it does not mean that he has not saved Colonel Pontmercy.All, except Marius, thought Thenardier to be a gangster. Marius was ignorant of the real situation at Waterloo at that time, and was ignorant of the peculiarity of his father's strange situation in which Thenardier was his father's saviour, not his benefactor. None of the various scouts employed by Marius could find a trace of Thenardier.It seems that the situation related to this aspect has all disappeared.Thénardier's woman had died in prison during the trial, and Thenardier and his daughter Azma, the only two remaining members of the miserable gang, had slipped into the darkness.The unknowable abyss in society submerged them quietly.There was not a tremor in the water, not a tremor, nor the dark circle in which something had fallen and could be detected.

Thénardier's woman is dead, Polar Tuliuer has nothing to do with the case, Iron Fang is missing, the main defendant has escaped from prison, and the kidnapping of Gorbeau's house is tantamount to a miscarriage.The case is still unclear, and the criminal court only caught two accomplices: Bangzhuo, also called Spring, and also called Bignaye;The accomplices who were at large but were not found were sentenced to hard labor for life.The main criminal, Thenardier, was also sentenced to death in absentia.This sentence was the only thing that remained of Thénardier.On the name wrapped in the shroud cast a ghostly light, like a candle at the coffin.

Moreover, for fear of being arrested again, Thenardier was driven to the deepest part of the cave, and this sentence buried the man in deep darkness. As for the other, the stranger who had rescued Marius, the search began with some hints, and then stopped.They managed to find the streetcar which had taken Marius to the Rue de la Crucis on the evening of June 6th.The coachman said that on June 6, a policeman ordered him to "stop" by the river bank of the Elysee Square, at the exit of the big sewer, and wait from 3:00 pm until evening; at around 9:00 pm, the iron gate of the sewer facing the river bank was opened , A man with a dead man on his back came out from there, the police were waiting, he arrested the living and the dead.On the orders of the police, he, the coachman, put "the whole party" into his carriage, went first to the Rue de la Passione, and put down the dead man, whom he said was M. Marius, whom he recognized, though He was alive "this time"; later they got into the carriage again, and he drove the horse with a whip to a place not far from the entrance of the Museum of Historical Relics, told him to stop, paid the fare on the street, and they went Gone, the policeman took the man; he knew nothing else; it was very dark by then.

Marius, as we have already said, recalled nothing.He only remembers a strong hand grabbing him from behind as he fell backward in the barricade; he was afterwards unconscious.He came to M. Gillenormand's house and woke up. He speculated in every possible way but could not get an answer. He cannot doubt himself.However, he obviously fell down on Machang Street, so why was he picked up by the police near the bridge of the Disabled Military Academy on the Seine River Beach?Someone carried him from the vegetable market area to the Elysee Square. How did he carry it?through the sewer.What a devotion unheard of!

someone?who? It was this man whom Marius was looking for. About this man, his savior, there was no word, no sign, not even a hint of a sign. Although Marius must be very cautious in this respect, he had extended his pursuit to the police station.But there, as elsewhere, the results of the investigation did not solve the problem at all.The police station doesn't know as much as the coachman. They don't know at all that an arrest was made at the iron grating of the big sewer on June 6th. They haven't had any reports from the police in this regard. The police station thinks all this is pure fabrication. It was a rumor made by the coachman.Usually a coachman will do anything, even make up, for a little tip.But the thing was so real that Marius could not doubt it, except in himself, as we have just said.

All, in this bizarre charade, cannot be explained. This man, this mysterious man, the coachman saw him carrying the fainted Marius out of the iron gate of the sewer, and the ambushed police caught him on the spot to save a rioter. What happened to him?Where are the police?Has that person escaped?Why is the policeman keeping silent?Did the police take bribes from him?Why did this man, Marius' savior, not at all indicate to Marius that he was still alive?This kind of selfless attitude and generosity and dedication are equally magnificent.Why is this person no longer showing up?It may be that he is unwilling to ask for any payment, but no one is unwilling to accept gratitude from others.Is he dead?What kind of person is he?What is his face like?No one can answer.The coachman replied, "It was too dark that night." Basque and Nicolette, out of their wits, were only paying attention to the bloodied young master.Only the concierge, when he came by candle to the miserable Marius, noticed the man, who provided the following characteristics: "The manner of this man is terrific."

Marius kept the blood-stained clothes he wore when he brought him back to his grandfather's house, hoping to be useful to his search, and when he looked at the clothes carefully, he found that one side of the hem was torn strangely, And there was one piece missing. One evening Marius related to Cosette and Jean Valjean this strange encounter and the countless fruitless inquiries he had made. "Monsieur Fauchelevent's" indifference made him impatient.Excited, he exclaimed almost angrily: "Yes, this man, whoever he is, has done a marvelous thing. Do you know what he did, sir? He appeared like an archangel, and he stole me out in the middle of the war, and opened the The sewers, drag me in, and carry me on your back! In this dreadful corridor, stooped and kneeled, in the dark, in the sewage, walked almost a mile and a half, sir, with one more on your back A dead body! What is his purpose? Just to rescue this dead body. And this dead body is me. He said to himself: "There may be a chance of life, and for this poor chance, I will risk my life!" And he not only Risked his life once, but twenty times! Every step of his was dangerous. The proof is that he was arrested as soon as he came out of the gutter. Sir, do you know what this man did? He didn't expect any pay Who was I then? An insurgent. What kind of man? A defeated soldier. Oh! If Cosette's six hundred thousand francs were mine..."

"The money is yours," interrupted Jean Valjean. "Then," continued Marius, "I would rather spend that money to find this man!" Jean Valjean was silent about this.
