The figure of Miss Bodyguard quickly appeared in the mirror, and she replied with no expression: "There is a certain danger, but it is not serious."

Very good... Klein put away the coins, washed his hands, turned and walked out of the bathroom, and entered the living room.

He looked at Miller Carter, smiled and said, "I will accept this commission."

After signing the contract with Miller Carter and receiving an advance payment of 10 pounds, Klein was not in a hurry to go to Williams Street, but made an appointment at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Miller understood this very well. In his opinion, the single-handed detective Charlotte Moriarty must recruit people to start the exploration.

After the old-fashioned gentleman left, Klein immediately returned to the dining table and stuffed the cold steak into his belly.

Really, doesn't he even have to eat lunch? He had to pick this time to come to the door... Barely filling his stomach, Klein began to clean up bitterly.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Mary came to visit as scheduled. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, but her face became more and more gloomy. Starling Summer, who accompanied her, had to remain silent.

Klein put the carefully selected photo in an envelope and handed it over: "Ma'am, please confirm."

Mary was slow for two seconds, and took a slow breath before taking the envelope, pulling out the photo, and examining it carefully.

"... very good, very good, you are the most efficient and responsible detective I have ever seen, and I am honored to introduce you to the members of the Kragg Club... This is the final payment of 7 pounds, which is what you deserve Yes." Mary took a wallet out of her leather handbag and counted out a �5 note and two �1 notes.

Then, without waiting for Klein's response, she stuffed the photo into an envelope, put it in her handbag, and abruptly got up and left.

Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng Teng, her buttonless leather boots made a rushing sound, and Starling Summer tried her best to catch up and was barely able to follow.

When opening the door to go out, Mary suddenly tripped and almost fell, but fortunately, Starling happened to hold her up.

With this episode, Mary slowed down visibly and seemed to have grown still.

Ma'am, you forgot to bring your portable camera... I'll give it to Mrs. Summer later, and let her bring it to you... Klein silently watched this scene, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

He returned to the second floor, took a nap, and woke up comfortably to the sound of the nearby church clock striking the hour.

Klein had turned over the map before, and confirmed that Williams Street was at the junction of the West End and Queens, which was the core of Backlund and a suitable place to live.

The asking price for a good house in the West End and Hillston District is around 2,500 pounds. Miller Carter�s home is close to Queens, and it is also the property of the former Viscount. If it reaches 5,000 pounds, this can be exchanged for a fairly good magical item... He came to visit me, but he didn't bring a butler or attendant. Is it because he has just arrived in Backlund and everything is not on the right track? Klein put on the double-breasted frock coat and hat, held his cane, and went out into Minsk Street.

At this time, the gas street lamps had not yet been turned on, and the street was even more gloomy than in the evening, but the air was not bad, not as suffocating as those in the eastern districts.

Taking a rented carriage all the way to Williams Street, Klein saw a waiting male servant outside the house on No. 8.

Wearing a red vest and light-colored trousers, the servant bowed respectfully to the visitor: "Good afternoon, is this Detective Moriarty?"

"Yes, I made an appointment with Mr. Carter." Klein nodded slightly, and followed the male servant into the mansion with a lawn in front and a garden on the side.

This house has two floors, the first floor is quite messy, with a lot of building materials, and workers are coming and going to make renovations.

Miller Carter didn't wear a top hat, covered his nose, and greeted him: "I'm very sorry, it's too messy and dirty here, but I hope that everything can be better before my family arrives in Backlund. Urge them to work non-stop."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the male servant and ordered: "You continue to watch them."

No wonder I didn�t bring servants with me before, and the servants have become supervisors� Klein smiled and said, �I know quite a few doctors, and they told me that houses that have just been remodeled are not suitable for immediate occupancy, and you have to wait at least three months for ventilation, otherwise The elderly and children who are not physically strong can easily get sick."

"Really?" Miller asked doubtfully as he led Klein to the basement.

"I haven't verified it, but I choose to believe in authority. It is said that it comes from the words handed down by Emperor Roselle." Klein made up casually.

Miller nodded, turned around and glanced at the door, couldn't help frowning and asked, "Mr. Detective, you didn't bring an assistant?" JrNovels.com
