Klein had already looked through the map and confirmed that Williams Street was at the junction of the West and Queens.

It was a core location in Backlund and suitable for living.

A good house in the West and Hillston districts would cost around 2,500 pounds.

Miller Carter's home was close to Queens, and it was the property of the former viscount, so the area must be quite large.

The total purchase price would be at least 3,500 pounds, or even 5,000 pounds, which could be exchanged for a very good magical item...

He came to visit me without a butler or a servant. Was it because he had just arrived in Backlund and everything was not on track yet?

Klein put on a double-breasted frock coat, put on his hat, and held his cane.

When he was about to go out, he saw Olivia, who had changed into a white dress, standing at the door.

Against the backdrop of the sun,

Pure.

Holy.

Klein was a little stunned.

Olivia saw Klein staring at her blankly, and she waved her hand in front of him.

"Hey! Come back to your senses. I know I'm beautiful. But there's no need to be like this!"

Klein saw Olivia's fair jade hand waving in front of him, and he came back to his senses instantly.

He touched his nose awkwardly and went out to Minsk Street.

Olivia looked at Klein's embarrassed escape and found it very interesting.

It's still very fun to tease Klein after watching her daily life.

……………………

At this time, the gas street lights had not yet been lit, and the streets were actually gloomier than in the evening.

But the air was still okay, not as choking as those districts in the east.

Taking a rented carriage all the way to Williams Street, Klein saw the waiting manservant outside the house at No. 8.

The manservant wore a red vest and light-colored trousers, and bowed respectfully to the visitor:

"Good afternoon, are you Detective Moriarty?"

"Yes, I have an appointment with Mr. Carter." Klein nodded slightly.

Take Olivia and follow the manservant 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 coming and going to do renovations.

Tsk~tsk~

This house is really big!

When I have money in the future, I will buy such a big house.

Yeah! Finally, I will raise a cat!

Olivia fell into a beautiful fantasy.

Miller Carter came over without a hat, covering his nose:

"I'm very sorry, it's too messy and dirty here, but I hope everything can be beautiful before my family arrives in Backlund. I can only urge them to work non-stop."

After saying that, he looked at the male servant and ordered:

"You continue to watch them."

No wonder I didn't bring servants before, the servants have become supervisors...

Klein smiled and said:

"I know a lot of doctors, and they told me that the newly renovated house is not suitable for immediate occupancy."

"It takes at least three months of ventilation, otherwise the elderly and children who are not strong enough will easily get sick."

"Really?"

Miller asked back in confusion as he led Klein to the basement.

"I haven't verified it, but I choose to believe in authority."

"It is said that this comes from the words passed down by Emperor Roselle." Klein made up casually.

Olivia listened to Klein's conversation and couldn't help but turn over a silver.

I really think that I can attribute this sentence to Emperor Roselle without knowing who said it!

Miller nodded, and then looked at Olivia who was following Klein like a lady, and couldn't help frowning and asked:

"Mr. Detective, is this your assistant?"

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

This is an angel, what else do you want.

True God?

Klein complained in his heart, and said seriously:

"This is the first exploration. I will move forward cautiously. If there is any problem, I will retreat immediately."

"In this regard, I have rich experience and will not put myself and my assistant in a dangerous situation.

Miller was stunned and said:

"You are very professional. "

Professional deception...

Klein added silently.

Miller no longer doubted anything and led Detective Moriarty and Miss Olivia through the messy living room.

Going down the stairs, they entered a fairly spacious basement.

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

Olivia stepped on the stone slabs on the ground and couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

It is worthy of being a noble's property, even the basement has been "finely decorated".

And it is almost as big as the living room of Klein's house...

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

"There is a secret door there, which was discovered by the workers during the renovation."

Klein stared and saw a gray-white stone door in the corner with the help of the not-so-bright candlelight.

It should have formed a whole with the wall, but now it is exposed.

"Next, it's up to you, be careful."

The old-fashioned gentleman Miller gave Klein a lit lantern and reminded him.

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

Miller shook his head slightly and said:

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

"Okay!"

Thank you!

Thanks for the reward from the nickname is too difficult to come up with, so I'll just use this one.
