Chapter 90 Chapter 88

Langdon felt exhausted and guilty as he and Sophie stepped through the turnstiles at Temple Church subway station and plunged deep into the maze of grimy tunnels and platforms. I got Teabing in trouble, and his life is literally at stake right now. Although Remy's sudden involvement shocked everyone.But still very meaningful.This shows that anyone, as long as they want to get the Holy Grail, will secretly send someone into the opponent's interior.For the same reason, they put someone next to Teabing.Throughout history, those who know the history of the Holy Grail have long attracted the likes of thieves and scholars.Teabing had been the target of all these people.This fact would have relieved Langdon of some of the self-blame that was weighing him down, but it didn't.We have to find Lei Juetu and rescue him.immediately.Langdon followed Sophie to the platform for the yellow and green subway lines to the west, and once there, she hurried to call the police from a payphone—despite Remy's threats not to call the police.Langdon sat in a dirty chair nearby, regretful.

As Sophie dialed the phone number, she kept repeating: "Please believe me, the best way to save Teabing right now is to let the London police intervene immediately." Langdon didn't agree with her at first, but now that they had a plan in place, Sophie's logic began to make sense.Teabing was safe for now.Even though Remy and the others knew the exact location of the knight's grave, they still needed Teabing to help them solve the mystery of the ball.What Langdon was worried about was what would they do after the Holy Grail map was found?Once the map is found, Ray will be their heavy burden.

What if Langdon still wanted a chance to save Teabing?Or if he saw the keystone again, he would have to find the knight's tomb first.Unfortunately, out of the blue, Remy strikes first. Now it was Sophie's job to force Remy to stop. Langdon's responsibility is to find the knight's grave. Sophie might have the London police hunting down Remy and Silas, driving them into hiding, in constant fear, and with luck, maybe even arresting them.Langdon's plan, however, was less certain—he planned to take the tube to nearby King's College, known for its electronic database of all the theological knowledge.It was the most important research tool Langdon had ever heard.Any historical question about religion can be answered quickly with just one keystroke.He wondered what kind of answer the database would provide to a question like "a knight killed by the pope."He stood up and paced up and down, hoping that the train would come soon.

On the other end of the public phone, Sophie finally called the London police. "This is the Xueshan Sub-bureau," the dispatcher said from the other end, "Which extension do you want to transfer the call to?" "I'm here to report that someone has been kidnapped." Sophie knew how to be non-procrastinating. "May I ask your honorable name?" Sophie paused before saying, "I'm Sophie Neveu, Agent of the French Police." Apparently her title had the desired effect. "I'll turn you over right away, ma'am. I'll get a detective to speak to you."

When the call came through, Sophie wondered if the police would believe her account of Teabing's kidnapper.A man in evening dress.Could there be a more recognizable suspect than this?Even when Remi changed his costume, he also brought an albino monk with him.Moreover, they also took a hostage, so it is impossible to take public transportation.She wondered in her mind how many Jaguars there might be stretch limousines in London. Sophie would have to wait a lifetime to get in touch with the detective.hurry up!She could hear the "tick" and "buzz" on the phone line, as if she was being carried through it.

Fifteen seconds passed. Finally someone answered the phone: "Is this Miss Neveu?" Sophie jumped up in shock, and she immediately recognized the husky male voice. "Miss Neveu," Bezu Fache asked, "where are you?" Sophie was silent.Captain Fache had apparently informed the Scotland Yard dispatcher that if Sophie called, he must be alerted. "Listen," Fache told her tersely in French, "I made a terrible mistake tonight. Robert Langdon is innocent. All charges against him have been dropped. But even so, you The two are still very dangerous. You have to come here quickly."

Sophie's jaw relaxed.She didn't know how to react.Fache was not one to apologize casually. "You didn't tell me," Fache continued, "Jacques, Saunière is your grandfather. Considering that you must have been under a lot of emotional pressure, I don't plan to pursue your rebellious behavior last night. However, you and Langdon have to run to the nearest Metropolitan police station quickly." He knows I'm in London?What else does he know?Sophie heard a continuous "hum" sound from the other party, or the sound made by other machines.She also heard a strange "tick" on the phone line, so she asked, "Are you following my phone, Captain?"

Fache's tone became firm: "Miss Neveu, you and I must cooperate now. Both of us have suffered heavy losses here. If we cooperate, we can reduce our losses. I made a mistake in judgment last night. If it is because of my The mistake leads to the death of an American professor and a decoding expert of the French Central Police Department, and then my future is over." The train finally came, making a low "boom".At this moment, a gust of warm wind is blowing through all the passages of the train station.Sophie was impatient to jump on it, and Langdon apparently thought so too.He pulled himself together and walked towards her.

"The man you're looking for is Remi Legruder," said Sophie, still standing there. "He's Teabing's servant. He just kidnapped Teabing in the Temple Church, and—" "Miss Neveu!" Fache called impatiently as the train roared into the station. "This kind of matter is not suitable to be discussed on the public phone. For your safety, you and Langdon must come over immediately and avoid it." Sophie hung up the phone and jumped onto the train like an arrow with Langdon.
