After signing the contract with Mill. Carter and receiving a prepayment of 10 pounds, Klein did not rush to Williams Street, but about 4 pm.
For this, Mill understands very well. In his view, the single-handed Sherlock Moriarty detective must be recruited to explore.
When the old-school gentleman left, Klein immediately returned to the dining table, cutting the chilled steak into his belly.
Really, doesn't he have to eat lunch? I had to pick the door at this time ... barely filling my stomach, Klein started to pack up very 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 grew darker, and the Starling Sammer who accompanied her had to remain silent.
Klein handed over the carefully selected photo in an envelope:
"Madam, please confirm."
Mary was dull for two seconds, slowly took a deep breath, and then took the envelope, took out the photo, and examined it carefully.
"... Very good, very good, you are the most efficient and responsible detective I ’ve ever seen, and I ’m honored to give you introduction to the members of Klag Club ... This is the final payment of £ 7 Yes. "Mary took out a wallet from the leather handbag and counted 5 pounds and 2 pounds.
Next, without waiting for Klein to respond, she stuffed the photo into the envelope, put it in her handbag, and suddenly stood up and left.
deng deng deng, her buttonless leather boots stepped on a rapid voice, and Starling Sammer struggled to catch up before she could barely follow.
When opening the door, Mary suddenly tripped and almost fell. Fortunately, Starling just supported her.
With this episode, Mary obviously slowed down the movement, and it seems to have become quiet.
Madam, you forgot to take a portable camera ... I will give Mrs. Sammer later, let her bring you ... Klein silently looks at scenes, shaking his head slightly, said nothing.
He returned to second floor, took a nap, and woke up comfortably with the punctual sound of the nearby church bell.
Klein has previously turned over the map, confirming that Williams Street is at the junction of western district and Queen District and belongs to the core of Beckland and is suitable for living.
A good house in western district and Hillston District has a asking price of around 2500 pounds. Mill. Carter ’s home is close to Queen District. It is also a former Viscount ’s property. The area is definitely not small. Pound, this can be changed to a very good magical item ... he came to visit me, but he did not bring a butler, no servant, because when he first arrived at Beckland, all aspects have not yet entered the right track? Klein put on a double-breasted long dress, put on a hat, held a cane, and went out into Minsk Street.
At this time, the gas street lamp has not been lit, and the street is darker than in the evening, but the air is okay, and there are no choking noses in the east.
Ride rented carriage and come all the way to Williams Street. Klein saw the waiting male servant outside the house on the 8th.
The male servant wore red vest and light-colored trousers and respectfully paid a visit to the visitor:
"Good afternoon, is it Detective Moriarty?"
"Yes, I made an appointment with Mr. Carter." Klein nodded slightly and followed the male servant into the mansion with lawn and garden in front.
This house has two floors, the first floor is quite messy, there are many construction materials, and there are workers coming and going to make renovations.
Mill. Carter did n’t wear top hat, covered his nose, and greeted him:
“I ’m sorry, it ’s too messy and dirty here, but I hope that before my family arrives in Beckland, everything can become better and I can only urge them to work non-stop.”
After finishing, he looked at the male servant and commanded:
"You continue to looks at them."
No wonder no servants were brought before, and the servants have become supervisors ... Klein smiled and smiled:
"I know a lot of doctors. They told me that the newly renovated house is not suitable for immediate accommodation. You have to wait at least three months for ventilation, otherwise the elderly and children who are not strong enough will get sick easily."
"Really?" Mill asked Confusingly as he led Klein towards the basement.
"I haven't verified it, but I chose to believe in authority. It is said that this comes from the words passed down from Mister Russell Great Emperor." Klein wrote casually.
Mill nodded, looked back at the door again and could n’t help but frown and asked:
"Mr. detective, did you bring an assistant?"
"There may be no small danger hidden in that building."
I have an assistant, but you ca n’t see it ... Klein said abruptly, Zheng Se said:
"This is the first exploration, I will proceed very carefully, if there are any problems, I will retreat immediately."
"In this regard, I have rich experience and will not let myself fall into a dangerous situation. With a less skilled assistant, it is easy to make my actions not flexible and decisive."
Mill startled:
"You are very professional."
Professional flicker ... Klein silently added a sentence.
Mill no longer doubts anything, leading Detective Moriarty, through the messy living room, down the stairs, into a fairly spacious basement.
There are no gas pipes here, but there are four metal candlesticks inlaid on the wall, and the dim light is swaying.
Standing on the stone slab on the ground, Klein couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
It is indeed a noble property, even the basement has been "finely decorated", and it is almost as large as the living room of my current house ...
At this time, Mill pointed to the forefront:
"There is a secret door, which was discovered by the workers during the transformation."
Klein gazed at it, with the help of a candlelight that was not bright, and saw a gray-white stone door in the corner. It was supposed to be integrated with the wall, but now it is exposed.
"I'll leave it to you next, pay attention to safety." The old-school gentleman Mill gave Klein a lighted horse lantern and urged him.
"Is the wind passed in advance?" Klein asked cautiously.
Mill shook his head slightly invisible:
"It's not particularly boring inside, but I didn't let the workers go too far."
"Okay." Klein inspected his carry-on item, put on a pair of black gloves, and in the eyes of Mill, he unhurriedly lifted the lantern, approached the stone door, and pushed it open with a cane.
In the slightly heavy Zaza sound, he followed the light here and saw a dark stone-paved path.
There are several wooden doors on each side and end of the Yongdao. They have shown signs of decay, but they are barely usable.
Not too old ... but the grand style of the door and the deep and heavy weight of the slate are not too persevering ... The Viscount family was replaced before? Klein quietly turned on the spirit vision, squeezed the cane, carried the lantern, and moved forward step by step.
The light disperses the darkness. When passing by the rooms on both sides, because the workers hired by Mill have not explored deeply, he can see the slightly empty scene inside through the open door, and see the long and quite consistent style of the door. Stool table.
Nothing spiritual light flashes ... Klein is slightly inspected and continues on without stopping, all the way to the black folio door at the end.
Extending the gloved right palm, he half-clamped his cane and slowly pushed hard to push the door.
The friction of people ’s teeth began to reverberate, and the stone door gradually cracked a gap, and a little bit of spiritual light suddenly appeared in the eyes of Klein's, reflecting the innumerable energy field colors intertwined and intertwined.
His heart tightened, and he pushed the door suddenly, then stepped back a few steps.
The gap in the stone door expanded rapidly, and a black, slippery living creature suddenly fell from above.
That is a long snake with a red head and a triangular head!
It straightened its upper body, vomiting its core, and used the cold brown pupils looks at Klein.
pā pā pā, one snake after another fell from the door and piled up at the entrance.
Passing them, Klein saw a hall inside. In the center of the hall there were countless snakes of various colors wriggling and clinging together, forming an exaggerated snake nest that was ten meters long and wide. Here.
The Klein's's scalp suddenly felt numb, and he couldn't help taking another two steps. He even wanted to remove his eyes and dare not look straight.
Although he is a man, he is still afraid of snakes. The most feared animal is a snake.
This originated from a psychological shadow of him. When he was a child, he should have slept open the door of the room secretly, and through the gap, enjoy the movie with his parents.
Unfortunately, his parents once watched a snake disaster film. There was a scene in which a building was demolished, and a large nest of snakes was dug out. The dense creeps still have memory in his mind.
Can using "sleeping talisman" affect so many snakes? Klein swallowed hard and said to the air:
"What do you do?"
The figure of Miss Bodyguard in a black Gothic dress quickly appeared on his side, her mouth tightly squeezed, and she said nothing.
Klein glanced at her, she glanced at Klein, and no one spoke.
Wait for the snake to slowly walk out, Klein finally coughed and repeated again:
"What do you do?"
Miss the bodyguard did not answer, floated up, and suddenly a cold wind blew inside the tunnel.
Wū !
The wind is violent, blowing into the hall, where the temperature drops rapidly and is close to the outside world
Wū !
The densely packed snake 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, the hall and Yongdao outer layer formed a thin frost, and the countless snakes no longer know where to go.
Wū !
The wind hasn't stopped yet, Klein shuddered:
"Poor, almost."
The violent cold wind slowed down, but the cold feeling did not weaken, and the bodyguard's figure disappeared into the air.
Klein lifted right palm with his cane, covered his mouth and nose, sneezed, then raised the lantern, carefully passed the stone door, and entered the wide hall.
The style here is consistent with the outside corridor. It is dominated by deep black stone slabs and stands up to eight columns of the same color.
The tall dome hangs a round metal rod, and its bottom end is carved into different living creature candlesticks.
Inverted candlestick ... As a college student of history department, as a person who can barely be called an elite in this field, Klein made a preliminary judgment through this unique arrangement:
"Architecture of fourth era?"
