After signing the contract with Miller Carter and charging a prepayment of £10, Klein did not rush to Williams Street, but about four in the afternoon.

In this regard, Miller understands very well that, in his opinion, the single-handed Charlotte Moriarty detective must recruit personnel to explore.

When the old gentleman left, Klein immediately returned to the table and cut the cold-cut steak into his stomach.

Really, he doesn't have to eat lunch? I have to pick this time to go to the door... I barely fill my stomach, and Klein is beginning to clean up.

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, and Starling Samuel, who accompanied her, had to remain silent.

Klein handed over the carefully selected photo in an envelope:

"Ms., you confirm."

Mary was dull for two seconds and took a slow breath before taking the envelope, taking photos and scrutinizing it.

"...very good, very good, you are the most efficient and responsible detective I have ever seen. I am honored to introduce you to the members of the Cragg Club... this is the last 7 pounds, this is what you deserve. Mary took out a wallet from a leather handbag and counted a five-pound two-pound note.

Then, she didn't wait for Klein to respond, stuffed the photo into an envelope, put it in her handbag, and suddenly got up and left.

Hey, her buttonless leather boots stepped out of the rushing voice, and Stalin Samuel struggled to catch up, barely able to follow.

When she opened the door, Mary suddenly stunned and almost fell. Fortunately, Starling just helped her.

With this episode, Mary apparently slowed down the movement and seemed to have become quiet.

Madam, you forgot to take the portable camera... I will give Mrs. Summer to her, let her bring it to you... Klein silently looked at the scene and shook his head slightly, saying nothing.

He returned to the second floor, took a nap, and woke up comfortably in the percussion of the nearby church bell.

Klein had previously turned the map to confirm that Williams Street was at the junction of the West End and Queens, and was the heart of Beckland and suitable for living.

The price of a good house in the West End and Hilston area is around 2,500 pounds. Miller Carter’s home is close to Queens and is the former Viscount’s industry. The area is certainly not small. The overall purchase is at least 3,500 pounds, and maybe even Up to 5,000 pounds, this can be replaced by a very good magical item... He came to visit me, did not even have a housekeeper, no attendants, is because the first time to Beckland, all aspects have not yet been on the right track? Klein put on a double-breasted long dress, put on a hat, lifted his cane, and went out to Minsk Street.

At this point, the gas street light has not been lit, the street is actually more gloomy than in the evening, but the air is OK, there are no areas in the east side of the nose.

In the rental carriage, all the way to Williams Street, Klein saw the waiting man outside the house on the 8th.

The servant wore red vest light-colored trousers and respectfully invited the guests to a ceremony:

"Good afternoon, is it Moriatti detective?"

"Yes, I have an appointment with Mr. Carter." Klein gently decapitated and followed the servant into the mansion with a garden on the lawn side.

The house has two floors, the first floor is quite messy, with lots of building materials, and workers are doing renovations.

Miller Carter did not wear a hat, covered his nose and greeted him:

“I am very sorry, it’s too messy and dirty, but I hope that before my family arrives in Beckland, everything can be beautiful and can only be urged to keep working.”

When he finished, he looked at the manservant and gave a cry:

"You keep looking at them."

No wonder there was no servant before, and the servants were supervised... Klein smiled and said:

"I know a lot of doctors. They told me that the newly remodeled houses are not suitable for immediate occupancy. At least three months of ventilation is required. Otherwise, the elderly and children who are not strong enough will be easily ill."

"Is it?" Miller led Klein to the basement and asked questions.

"I haven't verified it, but I chose to believe in authority. It is said that this stems from the words handed down by Russell the Great." Klein casually wrote.

Miller nodded and turned back to look at the door, could not help but frown and asked:

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

"There may be no danger in the building."

I have an assistant, but you can't see it... Klein has a belly, and the right color says:

"This is the first exploration. I will move forward very cautiously. Any problems will retreat immediately."

"In this respect, I have a wealth of experience and will not put myself in a dangerous situation. With the lack of skilled assistants, it is easy to make my actions less flexible and less decisive."

Miller yelled:

"You are very professional."

Professional flicker... Klein silently added a sentence.

Miller no longer doubts anything, leading Morriati detectives, through the messy living room, down the stairs, into a rather spacious basement.

There is no gas pipe here, but there are four metal candlesticks on the wall, and the dim light is swaying.

Stepping on the slate on the floor, Klein couldn't help but feel a sentence in her heart:

It’s a noble property, even the basement is “renovated”, and it’s almost as big as the living room of my current house...

At this time, Miller pointed to the forefront:

“There is a secret door there, which was discovered when the workers were transformed.”

Klein stared out, with a light candlelight, and saw a gray-white stone door in the corner, which should have been integral with the wall, but now it is exposed.

"Then handed it to you, pay attention to safety." Old-school gentleman Miller gave Klein a glimpse of the lit lantern and sighed.

“Is it through the wind beforehand?” Klein asked cautiously.

Miller is not visible, shaking his head:

"It's not particularly dull, but I didn't let the workers go too far."

"Okay." Klein checked the belongings and put on a black glove. In Miller's gaze, he held the lantern without hesitation, approached the stone door, and pushed it with a cane.

In the slightly heavy zha, he followed the light and saw a ramp covered with dark slate.

There are several wooden doors on the sides and at the end of the ramp. They have decayed traces, but they are barely usable.

Not too old... but the exaggerated style of the door and the deep and heavy slate are not too ambiguous... Was the former Viscount family replaced? Klein quietly turned on the vision, clenched his cane, carrying the lantern, step by step.

The light dispels the darkness. When passing through the rooms on both sides, because the workers hired by Miller have not explored in depth, he can see the slightly empty scene through the open door and see the bench table that is quite consistent with the style of the door. .

Nothing flashes... Klein took a look at it and continued to move forward without stopping. He came to the end of the black stone door.

Extending the right palm of the glove, he half-sticked his cane and slowly pushed the threshold.

The rubbing sound of the teeth began to reverberate, and Shimen gradually cracked into a gap. Klein’s eyes suddenly appeared a little aura, reflecting the innumerable gas field colors entangled.

He tightened his heart and slammed the door, then stepped back.

The gap in Shimen quickly expanded, and a black, slippery creature suddenly fell from the top.

It is a long snake with a triangular head and a red pattern!

It straightened up the upper body, spit the core, and looked at Klein with the cold brown eyes.

Hey, one after another, the snake fell from the door and piled up at the entrance.

Crossing them, Klein saw that there was a hall inside. There were countless snakes of various colors in the center of the hall squirming and clumping, forming an exaggerated snake nest of ten meters long and wide, and the feeling of slippery disgusting .

Klein’s scalp suddenly became numb, and he couldn’t help but retreat 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, and the most feared animal is a snake.

This stems from a psychological shadow of him. When he was a child, he should have slept to open the door of the room, through the gap, and enjoy the movie with his parents.

Unfortunately, his parents once saw a snake disaster film. There was a scene in which the building was demolished. As a result, a large nest of snakes was dug up. The dense squirming is still deeply remembered in his mind.

Can you influence so many snakes with the "Sleep Charm"? Klein swallowed hard and said to the air:

"What do you do?"

The figure of the bodyguard wearing a black gothic dress quickly appeared on his side, his mouth was close, and nothing was said.

Klein glanced at her and she looked at Klein and no one spoke.

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

"What do you do?"

The bodyguard did not answer, floated up, and the cold wind blew in the ramp.

Hey!

The wind swelled and blew into the hall. The temperature here dropped rapidly and was close to the outside world.

Hey!

The dense snakes in the center of the hall suddenly spread out and swam in all directions, looking for a place that was warmer and more suitable for survival.

Two or three minutes later, the surface of the hall and the ramp had a thin frost, and the countless snakes had no idea where to go.

Hey!

The wind has not stopped, and Klein shudders:

"Poor, almost."

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

Klein lifted the right palm of the cane, covered his mouth and nose, sneezed, then raised the lantern, carefully crossed the stone door and entered the wide hall.

The style here is consistent with the outside ramp, with dark black slate dominated by eight columns of the same color.

The high dome hangs down a metal round rod, and its bottom end is a candlestick carved into different creatures.

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

“Buildings in the Quaternary?”
