After signing a contract with Miller Carter and receiving a £10 advance payment, Klein did not rush to Williams Street and made an appointment at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Miller understands this, and in his opinion, Detective Charlotte Moriarty must recruit people to explore.

As soon as the old-school gentleman left, Klein immediately returned to the table and stuffed the already cold steak cut into his stomach.

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

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

Klein placed the carefully selected photo in an envelope and handed it over:

"Ma'am, you can confirm it. ”

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

“...... Very good, very good, you are the most efficient and responsible detective I have ever met, and I am honored to introduce you to the members of the Kragg Club...... It's £7 and you deserve it. Mary pulled a wallet from her leather handbag and counted out two five-pound bills.

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

Kicking and kicking, her buttonless boots made a hurried sound, and Starlene Samer struggled to catch up before she could barely follow.

As she opened the door and went out, Mary tripped and nearly fell, but luckily Starling was able to hold her.

With this episode, Mary noticeably slowed down her movements and seemed to have become silent.

Ma'am, you forgot to grab a portable sex camera...... I'll give it to Mrs. Summer, and let her bring it to you...... Crane silently watched such a scene, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

He returned to the second floor, took a nap, and woke up to the punctual sound of a nearby church bell.

Klein had previously flipped through the map and confirmed that Williams Street, on the border of the West Side and Queens, was in the heart of Beckland and was a livable location.

The asking price of a good house in the West End and Hilston is around 2,500 pounds, Miller Carter's home is close to Queens, and it is the property of a former viscount, and the area is certainly not small, and the overall purchase will cost at least 3,500 pounds, and maybe even 5,000 pounds, which can be exchanged for a pretty good magical item...... He came to visit me, but he didn't have a butler or an attendant, because he had just arrived in Beckland, and he wasn't on the right track in all respects? Klein put on a double-breasted gown, put on his hat, and grabbed his cane, and went out into Minsk Street.

At this time, the gas street lamps had not yet been lit, and the streets were darker than the evening, but the air was okay, and there was no choking in the eastern districts.

Riding in a cab all the way to Williams Street, Klein saw the waiting manmaid outside the house at No. 8.

The manservant, dressed in a red waistcoat and light-colored trousers, respectfully saluted the visitor:

"Good afternoon, is this Detective Moriarty?"

"Yes, I made an appointment with Mr. Carter. Crane bowed his head slightly, and followed the manservant into the mansion with a lawn and a garden in front of it.

The house is a two-story house, and the first floor is quite messy, with a lot of building materials and workers coming and going to make renovations.

Miller Carter didn't wear a top hat and covered the end of his nose, and greeted him:

"I'm sorry it's too messy and dirty, but I hope that by the time my family arrives in Beckland, everything will be fine and I can only urge them to keep working. ”

After speaking, he looked at the manservant and commanded:

You continue to look at them. ”

No wonder there were no servants before, and the servants became overseers...... Klein smiled and said:

"I know a lot of doctors, and they tell me that newly renovated houses are not suitable for immediate occupancy, and that you have to wait at least three months for ventilation, otherwise the elderly and children who are not strong enough can easily get sick. ”

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

"I have not verified it, but I choose to believe in authority, which, supposedly, stems from the words handed down by Russell the Great. Klein casually wrote.

Miller nodded, turned around and looked at the door, and couldn't help frowning and asked:

"Mr. Detective, you didn't bring an assistant?"

"There may be a lot of danger hidden in that building. ”

I have an assistant, but you can't see it...... Klein sneered, and said:

"This is the first exploration, I will be very cautious and retreat immediately if there is any problem. ”

"I have a lot of experience in this area, so I don't put myself in a dangerous situation, and working with an unskilled assistant can easily make me act inflexible and decisive. ”

Miller was stunned and said:

"You are very professional. ”

Professional flickering ...... Klein silently added.

Miller no longer suspects anything, and leads Detective Moriarty through the cluttered living room and down the stairs into a fairly spacious basement.

There are no gas pipes here, but there are four metal candlesticks embedded in the walls, and the dim light flickers.

Stepping on the stone slab on the ground, Klein couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

It is worthy of the aristocratic property, even the basement has been "finely decorated", and it is almost the size of the living room of my current house......

At this time, Miller pointed to the front and said:

"There's a secret door there, which the workers found when they were renovating. ”

Crane stared, and by the not-so-bright candlelight, he saw a gray-white stone door in the corner, which was supposed to form a whole with the wall, but was now exposed.

"I'll leave it to you, stay safe. Miller, an old-school gentleman, gave Klein a lantern that had been lit and admonished.

"Did you pass the wind beforehand?" Klein asked cautiously.

Miller shook his head visibly and said:

"It wasn't particularly dull inside, but I didn't let the workers go too far. ”

"Okay. Klein examined his belongings, put on a black glove, and under Miller's gaze, he approached the stone door with a lantern and pushed it open with his cane.

With a slightly heavy click, he followed the light and saw a corridor paved with dark stone slabs.

There are several wooden doors on either side and at the end of the corridor, which show signs of decay but are barely functional.

Not too old...... However, the pompous style of the door and the depth and heaviness of the stone slabs are not too ...... The Viscount family has changed before?Klein quietly turned on his vision, clenched his cane, carried the lantern, and walked forward step by step.

The light dispelled the darkness, and as he passed through the rooms on either side, he could see through the open door a slightly empty scene and a bench table in the style of the door, as the workers hired by Miller had not explored deeply.

There was no flash of inspiration...... Klein examined it for a moment, and continued on without pause, until he came to the black stone door at the end.

Stretching out his gloved right palm, he half-clamped his cane and pushed the door slowly with force.

The tooth-aching sound began to echo, and the stone door gradually cracked a crack, and a little spiritual light suddenly appeared in Crane's eyes, reflecting the countless intertwined aura colors.

His heart tightened, and he pushed the door violently, then took a few steps back.

The gap in the stone door widened rapidly, and a black, slippery creature suddenly fell from above.

It was a long snake with a triangular head and red patterns!

It straightened up, spat out the core, and looked at Klein with cold, brown eyes.

Snake after snake fell from the door and piled up at the entrance.

Crossing them, Klein saw a hall inside, and in the center of the hall there were countless snakes of various colors wriggling and hugging, forming an exaggerated snake nest about ten meters long and wide, and the slippery and disgusting feeling came to his face.

Klein's scalp suddenly tingled, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, and even wanted to look away, not daring to look directly.

Although he was a man, he was still afraid of snakes, and the animal he feared most was snakes.

This stems from a psychological shadow in him, when he was a child, he liked to secretly push open the door of the room, through the gap, and enjoy a movie with his parents.

Unfortunately, his parents once watched a snake disaster movie, in which there was a scene of demolishing a building, and as a result, a large nest of snakes was dug up, and the dense wriggling is still deeply remembered in his mind.

Can you use the "Sleep Charm" to affect so many snakes?, Crane swallowed hard, and said into the air:

"What can you do?"

The figure of the bodyguard lady in a black gothic dress quickly appeared beside him, her mouth pursed, and she didn't say anything.

Crane glanced at her, she glanced at Crane, and no one spoke.

When the snake slowly swam out, Klein finally coughed and repeated again:

"What can you do?"

The bodyguard didn't answer, but floated, and a cold wind suddenly blew in the corridor.

Woo!

The wind stirred and blew into the hall, where the temperature dropped rapidly and brought closer to the outside world

Woo!

The dense mass of snakes in the center of the hall suddenly spread out, swimming in all directions, looking for a warmer and more suitable place to live.

After two or three minutes, a thin layer of frost formed on the surface of the hall and the corridor, and the countless snakes had disappeared.

Woo!

The wind had not stopped, and Crane shuddered:

"Poor, almost. ”

The surging cold wind slowed down, but the cold feeling did not abate, and the figure of the bodyguard disappeared into the air.

Crane raised his right palm of his cane, covered his mouth and nose, sneezed, raised his lantern, and cautiously walked through the stone door into the wide hall.

The style here is the same as that of the corridor outside, with deep black stone slabs and eight columns of the same color.

The high dome hangs from the metal rods, and at the bottom of it are candlesticks carved into different creatures.

Inverted candlestick...... As a history student, as a figure who can barely be called an elite in this field, Klein made a preliminary judgment through this unique arrangement:

"Quaternary architecture?"
