ad only as far as the first line to realize that Teabing's plan to e to Britain was going to pay off。
IN LONDON LIES A KNIGHT A POPE INTERRED。
The remainder of the poem clearly implied that the password for opening the second cryptex could be found by visiting this knight's tomb察somewhere in the city。
Langdon turned excitedly to Teabing。 ;Do you have any idea what knight this poem is referring to拭
Teabing grinned。 ;Not the foggiest。 But I know in precisely which crypt we should look。;
At that moment察fifteen miles ahead of them察six Kent police cars streaked down rain´soaked streets toward Biggin Hill Executive Airport。
CHAPTER 79
Lieutenant Collet helped himself to a Perrier from Teabing's refrigerator and strode back out through the drawing room。 Rather than acpanying Fache to London where the action was察he was now baby´sitting the PTS team that had spread out through Chateau Villette。
So far察the evidence they had uncovered was unhelpful此a single bullet buried in the floor察a paper with several symbols scrawled on it along with the words blade and chalice察and a bloody spiked belt that PTS had told Collet was associated with the conservative Catholic group Opus Dei察which had caused a stir recently when a news program exposed their aggressive recruiting practices in Paris。
Collet sighed。 Good luck making sense of this unlikely m└lange。
Moving down a lavish hallway察Collet entered the vast ballroom study察where the chief PTS examiner was busy dusting for fingerprints。 He was a corpulent man in suspenders。
;Anything拭─Collet asked察entering。
The examiner shook his head。 ;Nothing new。 Multiple sets matching those in the rest of the house。;
;How about the prints on the cilice belt拭
;Interpol is still working。 I uploaded everything we found。;
Collet motioned to two sealed evidence bags on the desk。 ;And this拭
The man shrugged。 ;Force of habit。 I bag anything peculiar。;
Collet walked over。 Peculiar
;This Brit's a strange one察─the examiner said。 ;Have a look at this。; He sifted through the evidence bags and selected one察handing it to Collet。
The photo showed the main entrance of a Gothic cathedral´the traditional察recessed archway察narrowing through multiple察ribbed layers to a small doorway。
Collet studied the photo and turned。 ;This is peculiar拭
;Turn it over。;
On the back察Collet found notations scrawled in English察describing a cathedral's long hollow nave as a secret pagan tribute to a woman's womb。 This was strange。 The notation describing the cathedral's doorway察however察was what startled him。 ;Hold on He thinks a cathedral's entrance represents a woman's。。。;
The examiner nodded。 ;plete with receding labial ridges and a nice little cinquefoil clitoris above the doorway。; He sighed。 ;Kind of makes you want to go back to church。;
Collet picked up the second evidence bag。 Through the plastic察he could see a large glossy photograph of what appeared to be an old document。 The heading at the top read
Les Dossiers Secrets´Number 4< lm1 249
;What's this拭─Collet asked。
;No idea。 He's got copies of it all over the place察so I bagged it。;
Collet studied the document。

Prieur└ de Sion拭Collet wondered。
;Lieutenant拭─Another agent stuck his head in。 ;The switchboard has an urgent call for Captain Fache察but they can't reach him。 Will you take it拭
Collet returned to the kitchen and took the call。
It was Andr└ Vernet。
The banker's refined accent did little to mask the tension in his voice。 ;I thought Captain Fache said he would call me察but I have not yet heard from him。;
;The captain is quite busy察─Collet replied。 ;May I help you拭
;I was assured I would be kept abreast of your progress tonight。;
For a moment察Collet thought he recognized the timbre of the man's voice察but he couldn't quite place it。 ;Monsieur Vernet察I am currently in charge of the Paris investigation。 My name is Lieutenant Collet。;
There was a long pause on the line。 ;Lieutenant察I have another call ing in。 Please excuse me。 I will call you later。; He hung up。
For several seconds察Collet held the receiver。 Then it dawned on him。 I knew I recognized that voice The revelation made him gasp。
The armored car driver。
With the fake Rolex。
Collet now understood why the banker had hung up so quickly。 Vernet had remembered the name Lieutenant Collet´the officer he blatantly lied to earlier tonight。
Collet pondered the implications of this bizarre development。 Vernet is involved。 Instinctively察he knew he should call Fache。 Emotionally察he knew this lucky break was going to be his moment to shine。
He immediately called Interpol and requested every shred of information they could find on the Depository Bank of Zurich and its president察Andr└ Vernet。
CHAPTER 80
;Seat belts察please察─Teabing's pilot announced as the Hawker 731 descended into a gloomy morning drizzle。 ;We'll be landing in five minutes。;
Teabing felt a joyous sense of homeing when he saw the misty hills of Kent spreading wide beneath the descending plane。 England was less than an hour from Paris察and yet a world away。 This morning察the damp察spring green of his homeland looked particularly weling。 My time in France is over。 I am returning to England victorious。 The keystone has been found。 The question remained察of course察as to where the keystone would ultimately lead。 Somewhere in the United Kingdom。 Where exactly察Teabing had no idea察but he was already tasting the glory。
As Langdon and Sophie looked on察Teabing got up and went to the far side of the cabin察then slid aside a wall panel to reveal a discreetly hidden wall safe。 He dialed in the bination察opened the safe察and extracted two passports。 ;Documentation for R└my and myself。; He then removed a thick stack of fifty´pound notes。 ;And documentation for you two。;
Sophie looked leery。 ;A bribe拭
;Creative diplomacy。 Executive airfields make certain allowances。 A British customs official will greet us at my hangar and ask to board the plane。 Rather than permitting him to e on察I'll tell him I'm traveling with a French celebrity who prefers that nobody knows she is in England´press considerations察you know´and I'll offer the official this generous tip as gratitude for his discretion。;
Langdon looked amazed。 ;And the official will accept拭
;Not from anyone察they won't察but these people all know me。 I'm not an arms dealer察for heaven's sake。 I was knighted。; Teabing smiled。 ;Membership has its privileges。;
R└my approached up the aisle now察the Heckler Koch pistol cradled in his hand。 ;Sir察my agenda拭
Teabing glanced at his servant。 ;I'm going to have you stay onboard with our guest until we return。 We can't very well drag him all over London with us。;
Sophie looked wary。 ;Leigh察I was serious about the French police finding your plane before we return。;
Teabing laughed。 ;Yes察imagine their surprise if they board and find R└my。;
Sophie looked surprised by his cavalier attitude。 ;Leigh察you transported a bound hostage across international borders。 This is serious。;
;So are my lawyers。; He scowled toward the monk in the rear of the plane。 ;That animal broke into my home and almost killed me。 That is a fact察and R└my will corroborate。;
;But you tied him up and flew him to London ─Langdon said。
Teabing held up his right hand and feigned a courtroom oath。 ;Your honor察forgive an eccentric old knight his foolish prejudice for the British court system。 I realize I should have called the French authorities察but I'm a snob and do not trust those laissez´faire French to prosecute properly。 This man almost murdered me。 Yes察I made a rash decision forcing my manservant to help me bring him to England察but I was under great stress。 Mea culpa。 Mea culpa。;
Langdon looked incredulous。 ;ing from you察Leigh察that just might fly。;
;Sir拭─the pilot called back。 ;The tower just radioed。 They've got some kind of maintenance problem out near your hangar察and they're asking me to bring the plane directly to the terminal instead。;
Teabing had been flying to Biggin Hill for over a decade察and this was a first。 ;Did they mention what the problem is拭
;The controller was vague。 Something about a gas leak at the pumping station拭They asked me to park in front of the terminal and keep everyone onboard until further notice。 Safety pre
