Mrs. Carol was still someone Cole knew, and after Cole's death, she took care of herself more or less for the next two years.

Zach on the side was a little surprised that Chris actually knew the owner of this shop, so he took off the hat on his head, looked down and smiled:

"Hello ma'am, my name is Zach, and we are here to ask you about something. ”

Mrs. Carroll stopped what she was doing, glanced at the man who had come in with Chris, and nodded for him to continue.

Zach, who was treated coldly, had no choice but to continue:

"I don't know if you know the city lord's wife, Lady Sally?"

"Madame City Lord?" Mrs. Carol shook her head, her tone revealing a hint of sarcasm, "How could I possibly know that kind of rich man?"

Zach had to change the question and ask the second question:

"Do you know a lady named Caroline Carroll? in her twenties, very good-looking. ”

At this moment, the two of them who were more spiritual sensed the fierce turmoil in Mrs. Carroll's mind at the same time.

Mrs. Carol looked up at Zach and Chris, and smiled kindly:

"I think you've found the wrong person, I don't know the honorable lady of the city lord, nor do I know any lady Caroline. ”

Zach and Chris glanced at each other, knowing that Mrs. Carol was lying, but they didn't need to ask anything more, they already knew what they wanted.

After Chris buys some candy and pastries along the way, the two leave the dessert shop.

Walking side by side on the street, Chris ate a fruit-flavored candy and asked:

"I didn't expect this Mrs. Carol to really know Ms. Caroline, so what do we do next?"

Zach looked at the pedestrians on the street and said what he had planned:

"Looks like we're just going to have to stay outside this dessert shop, look at Sally's man and Caroline, we'll be the first to meet. ”

Upon reaching a stop where the public carriage would stop, Zach waved his hand at Chris and said:

"Then I'll go back first, and we'll meet tomorrow morning near the entrance of that dessert shop. ”

Chris nodded, said goodbye to Zack, and headed back to Proca Street, where Chris was reluctant to pay 3p for the public carriage fare a few streets away.

On the way back, Chris actually picked up a black wallet on the corner of the road.

The purse was worn out, with crumpled four 1 halso and scattered 5p bills, which was a lot of money in the West End.

Chris stood still and waited for about 20 minutes when he saw a young man in a black jacket running along the way, his eyes searching for something all the way.

Chris then stopped him, asked him if he had lost his belongings, and after getting an answer to the wallet, he asked for the exact amount in it, and returned the wallet to the other party.

The other party thanked Chris very gratefully, and after watching the other party leave happily, Chris's face couldn't help but show a trace of strangeness:

"This is the passive ability of the 'lucky man'? I picked up my wallet for the first time in my life, could it be that I will really be lucky in the past three days?"

After hurrying home, fortunately there was still some dinner left in the kitchen, and Chris himself heated it on the pot, and he simply ate to his heart's content.

This scene also made Bonnie laugh for a long time, so that Chris would come back tomorrow after dinner outside.

The next Saturday morning, after a quick meal of Ms. Josie's egg and bacon sandwich, vegetable oatmeal and a glass of milk, Chris greeted his teammates and hurried to Mrs. Carroll's Dessert Shop on Belland Street.

Sure enough, near the entrance of the dessert shop, Chris saw Zach squatting on the side of the road.

"Good morning, Mr. Hand, you came so early. Chris greeted with a smile.

Zach stood up, shrugged, and said helplessly:

"No way, I don't know when they'll come?"

The two stood at the corner of a nearby shop watching, and it wasn't long before they opened the doors of Mrs. Carol's dessert shop and started business.

But it was close to noon, and there were still no two target figures.

But it's understandable, according to Zack's investigation, Lady Sally's personal maid will only visit once every half a month, and as for the mysterious Caroline, I don't know when it will appear.

Chris bought water and bread from a store not far away, handed Zach a copy, and wiped the sweat from his head.

Because it is now close to summer, although the morning is already bitterly cold, but it is a little hot at noon.

Unlike Zach, who was wearing a thin jacket, Chris was wearing a long high-neck trench coat that Bonnie had helped buy.

And there can't be any short-sleeved shorts in this world, even in the hottest time, men go out to wear shirts and jackets neatly, if it is those middle- and upper-class men, it may be more complicated to wear.

Of course, at this point, women's dresses and skirts are beneficial, breathable and cool. However, in the cold winter, they have to endure the special care of the cold air.

"What should we do if we meet Lady Sally's people first?" asked Chris, who had finished his lunch quickly.

Yesterday, through Mrs. Carroll's reaction, I knew that she and Caroline should know each other, and with the fact that Caroline and Mrs. Carroll's surnames are the same, it is likely that there is some kind of kinship.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with them, Chris and Zach just want to find Caroline and solve their respective problems.

"If we meet Lady Sally's maid first, we can knock her unconscious, and then pretend to be a robber and ask if Lady Sally told her to go to the dessert shop every month. ”

Zack's meaning is very simple, if it is Sally's arrangement, then Caroline, as Sally's sister, will further verify that she has a relationship with Mrs. Carol, and she will definitely appear in this store after that, and all they do is wait for the rabbit.

...... Chris really can't imagine, is this still the Zach he knows? There was such a simple and crude idea, and after rubbing his head, Chris said his own way.

"Why don't we hypnotize her and ask her what she's really doing every month at this dessert shop?"

"Of course you can do that, but we don't have any extraordinary people around us who have hypnotic powers. ”

Zach wanted to go to "Golden Tulip" to borrow the "Hypnotic Ring" from his friend Wardhouse, and last time he used it to hypnotize Benson, the captain of the Mingguard, and set up some things about Ryan and Sally, but if Wardhouse knew that he was tracking Caroline, the other party would not lend it to him nine times out of ten.
