"Yesterday another prostitute was killed in the White Church."
The aroma of black tea and snacks filled the living room of Phantom Hein's London house. The young earl sitting in the main seat was drinking black tea and talking about the case in London with a serious face. Behind the luxurious sofa chair stood the deacon Bastian.
"This is no longer an ordinary murder case, but a novelty... No, it can be called abnormal."
Opposite him, Mrs. Hong and Liu, the manager of the Kunlun branch, were also holding black tea and listening, and their attendants also stood behind them.
"This time the victim, Mary Ann Nicholas, was disembowelled by some kind of sharp knife, and the body was beyond recognition. The police and journalists nicknamed the murderer Jack the Ripper."
Drinking black tea, even though the black tea brewed by the deacon was delicious and mellow in his mouth, Charles still felt bad when he thought about the incident he had to deal with this time.
"I also hope to confirm the case as soon as possible, so I came to London from the manor."
It was precisely because the police could not solve this kind of case that the queen gave an order to send out the fan dog Phantom Hein to solve it.
"But Earl, do you have the courage to confirm the corpse yourself?" Store Manager Liu from China got up and walked towards the 12-year-old Earl, reaching out to touch his cheek, "The scene is full of darkness and the breath of beasts, which will erode the same People with karma may fall into madness once they step into it, do you have such awareness?"
"I'm here to share her worries. "Charles slapped his hand away, his eyes arrogant, "Don't make such boring questions. "
The others watched this closely, and when the atmosphere at the scene was a little stagnant, there was a light knock on the door, followed by a sweet female voice: "I'm sorry."
The door was opened, and the blond maid walked in pushing the dining car. The aroma of the freshly baked cakes immediately overwhelmed all the smells in the reception room. They were three plates of small round cakes, dotted with black chocolate icing. Beautifully shaped whipped cream, tipped with almonds, is tempting enough just to look at it.
"Master, this is the Viennese Chocolate Almond Cake you ordered."
The maid delivered the prepared cakes to the guests one by one with a decent smile, and the aroma of the chocolate cake made the index finger move.
"Oh? In addition to the deacon, did the earl bring the head maid to London?" Store Manager Liu, who stood still, said in surprise, "This is really rare."
"Whoever I want to take out, I don't need anyone's consent, right?" Charles snorted coldly.
Regarding their conversation, the girl did not say a word, and kept her head bowed and restrained from the beginning to the end. After finishing her duty, she saluted and was about to leave.
"Melu." Charles stopped her.
"Yes, what are your orders?" The maid who had already put on the handle of the dining car immediately stopped and looked at the master. She stood upright with her hands folded on her lower abdomen, waiting for instructions meekly.
"You will also go out with us in a while."
This was the first time that Merlu had left the manor since she came to Phantom Hein House for two years, and it was also the first time that Merlu was taken by the master to London to participate in his mission.
... Then when he asked to go to the inspection site, he was resolutely rejected by the police who had a suspicion with the "Queen's Dog".
"It's been expected." He didn't bother with the chief of the police department who hated and guarded against him. After confirming that the police had no valuable information, Charles led everyone in the reception room to leave directly, "I still want to visit that person." more efficient."
So Mei Lu and the others stopped in front of a coffin shop called "Under Taker". After entering the shop, she also saw the shop owner who appeared from the coffin.
It was a strange man with long hair covering his eyes and wearing a tall hat but wearing a mourning suit. Although his long bangs covered his eyes, he could not completely conceal the oblique scar from above the bridge of his nose. He has long black nails, and even though he works as a funeral home, he actually also works part-time as an informant.
"How much does that information cost?" After knowing this fact, the opium dealer from Shanghai, China, who was not short of money asked.
The information dealer at the funeral parlor replied: "Xiaosheng is not interested in the queen's gold coins, the only thing that can satisfy Xiaosheng is the ultimate joke!"
So Mei Lu, who was already touching her pocket to prepare gold coins for the master: "..."
In the end, it was Sebastian who took care of this weird thing of "loving jokes but not money". For this reason, he even drove everyone out of the store, and I don't know what kind of wonderful jokes he specially performed for the other party. Anyway, the owner of the store I laughed so hard that the plaque fell off.
"Mr. Deacon, you are really amazing." Having seen the scene where Store Manager Liu and Mrs. Hong were directly eliminated after telling jokes, Mei Lu looked at him with admiration, "For the sake of the young master, I have to work hard to accumulate jokes!" Said At the end, the girl clenched her fists and said excitedly.
No, Sebas probably doesn't need your worship at this time.
The others thought to themselves with sweat dripping from the back of their heads.
"First, cut off the neck with a sharp object." When he started to tell the information, the owner of the funeral home approached Shire, and scratched his neck with his hand, "then cut the abdomen, and put the important Things are taken away."
"Important things?" Meilu tilted her head slightly.
"Yes, lovely lady." Hearing her voice, the funeral home left Shire as if noticing something new and interesting, then walked up to her and bent over her, with his index finger in front of his lips, In a low tone, "The uterus is a very important organ for you women."
"Uterus!?" When the crowd shouted out in astonishment, the funeral room standing opposite the blond maid clearly saw that the other party's eyes as clear as blue sky did not have any ripples.
"That's really scary." The maid expressed her concern appropriately, but the funeral home wanted to laugh, but he managed to hold back.
"The murderer's method of murder is very brutal, but the hysterectomy is quite straightforward." Taking a few steps back, the mourner with silver hair covering his face turned to the crowd again, "Unless someone takes action to stop this kind of crime, the murderer will not stop Yes. Can you stop it? Lord Phantomhine, the noble of evil."
At the end, he looked at the youngest young Earl in the field.
Of course there are, and it will be much easier to solve the case after getting the clues.
"According to the previous investigation and exclusion method, the only person who meets all the conditions is currently Viscount Dorit, Lord Aleister Campa."
Returning to Phantom Hein's mansion in London, Mr. Super Deacon, who took less than an hour from induction to summary to investigation and screening, informed everyone of the final result.
Although the suspect graduated from the university's medical department, he did not practice medicine and often held banquets at his home. It is said that some secret parties will be held secretly, and only those close to them can attend. And I heard that he is also obsessed with things like black magic, that is to say, he is likely to use these parties to hold some kind of ceremony, and use prostitutes as living sacrifices in the ceremony.
"Summer is coming to an end, and the nobles will go back in less than a week, so it will be very difficult to catch the murderer." Madam Hong sighed with her black tea in her hand, bowed her head for a while and said to everyone, " I remember I received an invitation before, and Aleister will hold the last party of the social period this week!"
"Oh, you can't miss it!" Manager Liu said, and then turned his head to look at Charles, "But Earl, if you appear there, he may easily notice that something is wrong, and instead scare the snake away. Woolen cloth."
Phantom Hein is already a well-known Queen's dog in the aristocratic circle. He will use any dirty and despicable methods for the reputation of the royal family. Now that the Jack the Ripper incident is raging, why he appeared there will definitely be guessed by those who are interested. .
Charles frowned.
"Don't worry here." Sebastian smiled at this moment, "If you sneak into the party to get the evidence, we have the most suitable candidate here." out.
"Sebastian!" Charles called out immediately when he sensed what the deacon was about to do.
Then the black-haired deacon just glanced at him casually, and calmly explained: "According to my investigation, Viscount Dorit likes all kinds of girls, and he never refuses them. Ms. Melu has been staying in Fando before. In Mhain's manor, she almost never shows up with you. She has always acted prudently, don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
The last sentence made Charles suddenly remember what order he had given to the deacon, and he couldn't say a word of objection.
"Let the head maid be the bait?" Liu folded his hands and rubbed his chin, showing hesitation, "Although it's a good idea, but..."
"Will it be dangerous?" Mrs. Hong directly worried.
Charles was about to follow their words and veto the proposal, when he heard Sebastian say again: "Then the young master can only play this role himself, and lure the viscount to take action."
"No!" It was Merle who spoke this time. The head maid who had been listening quietly stood between Charles and the deacon, looking up at him disapprovingly, "Mr. Deacon, the young master now He is still growing, do you know how much pain and burden wearing a corset will bring him? As the exclusive deacon of the young master, please take more responsibility for his health, please?"
The head maid is teaching the deacon a lesson.
"Corset?" As a Chinese, Liu doesn't quite understand the secrets among British ladies.
"Ah, that." As a high-class lady who has always been chasing fashion, Na Menqing said, "It's the underwear that corsets our British women's waist. The perfect waist circumference recognized by the fashion industry is 40 cm."
"40 cm!?" Liu touched his waist subconsciously. Could it be that the ribs are about to break
However, Madam Hong didn't finish her sentence: "But according to the standards of our upper-class aristocrats, the perfect waistline is 33 centimeters."
3, 33...
The man who heard it for the first time was trembling all over his body.
"33..." Liu began to look up at the sky, "It seems that one of my thighs is not only this size. Women are really willing to pay the price of their lives for beauty."
"But suddenly I really want to try it." Greer, who has always been a transparent person, held his flushed face and said excitedly.
Well, shut up now!
If Charles didn't know this number, he still had the courage to pretend to be a beautiful girl and sneak into the arena. Now that he heard the specific example, after subconsciously looking at Liu's thigh, he couldn't imagine that his waist was forcibly What does it look like when you get to that extent.
"For the matter of seducing the viscount and obtaining the evidence of his crime, please leave it to me, young master." When she volunteered to him, the maid was rarely serious and determined.
Why
Charles really wanted to ask, whether it was Sebastian or the three servants who stayed in the manor, they all wanted him. The difference was that the former wanted his soul, while the latter three wanted him. A shelter that accepts them. But this person in front of him didn't want to keep anything by his side, and even risked himself for him.
There can be hatred for no reason in this world, but there will never be love for no reason.
A teenager who has experienced too much darkness has always thought so.
"Sebastian." He said, "I order you to absolutely ensure the safety of Melu at the party."
"Ah, with Sebastian as the escort, you really don't have to worry too much!" Madam Hong clasped her hands in surprise at the first moment.
"Indeed, so far there is nothing the deacon can't do." Manager Liu also nodded beside him.
Only the deacon who was given the order noticed the coldness of the young man's words, and the corners of his lips curled slightly as if he had achieved some purpose, then he lowered his head: "Yes, my lord."
On the day when the party was held, the carriage drove all the way and arrived at the Viscount's Mansion at night, where singing and dancing had long been peaceful.
The door of the carriage was opened, and as usual, Mrs. Hong, dressed in red, got out of the carriage first, and then turned to look into the carriage, holding her face with a fascinated expression.
"Although I used to think that Xiao Meilu's figure looks good in anything, but after I tried it on, I found that the effect is a hundred times better than I thought! Just like you are dressed like an angel now. Same!"
While she was speaking, a beautiful figure in a white dress in the car also slowly got out of the car with the help of a deacon pretending to be a tutor. Just as Mrs. Hong said, the girl was wearing a white fluffy long dress with only the neckline and waist. And the skirt is embellished with other colors of decorations, a head of brilliant blond hair is scattered on the back, and the same style of lace hat hairpin is pinned obliquely, coupled with impeccable appearance and temperament, it is so exquisite and perfect that it does not seem like a real person.
"I also have to thank Mrs. Angelina for being willing to take the trouble to prepare the costume for me." The maid... no, today Meilu, who was disguised as Mrs. Hong's country niece, nodded her head in thanks, her movements were elegant and perfect. Standing next to the black-clothed deacon, who was also dressed meticulously and had an outstanding temperament, it was an unexpected match.
"Ah! I'm really envious of Charles more and more! Why can't I be the same!" Mrs. Hong almost wanted to bite her fan.
"Let's go, it's hard to act if it's late." Sebastian urged at the right time, and the group entered the viscount's house.
Just like Madam Hong said, with Mei Lu's temperament and appearance, it didn't take long before the viscount who loved all kinds of beauties took the initiative to find her when she deliberately placed an order, and said in an extremely seductive tone that he would take her When you go to a more exciting place, the task is basically completed.
That night, the London police broke into the Viscount's mansion with a search warrant and an arrest warrant. They discovered a secret human trafficking auction held by the Viscount in this mansion. The female, with conclusive evidence, was arrested on the spot and taken to prison.
"That would put the Jack the Ripper case to an end. "The young Earl, who had been monitoring the development of things at home, had a dull expression on his face, "It's really boring. Merlu, Sebastian, pack up and go back after the last two days of the social period. "
"yes!"
On the last night in London, the weather was a bit depressing, but it is quite common in summer when thunderstorms are frequent.
The hour hand of the pendulum in the lobby pointed to one o'clock in the morning, but Charles, who was sleeping soundly, was gently woken up.
"Master." Sebastian reported a message to him after he woke up, "Ms. Meilu just went out."
A girl sneaking out at one o'clock in the middle of the night
The last trace of sleepiness in Charles dissipated, and his eyes were filled with coldness: "Sebastian, dress me and follow her."
There can be hatred for no reason in this world, but there will never be love for no reason.
Mei Lu, after more than two years of dormancy, you finally can't stand it and want to take advantage of the relaxation period to solve the case
In the oppressive night, there was no cool breeze in the air, but when Sebastian hugged him and stepped on the roof of the city and jumped quickly, Charles' hair was still messed up by the wind. But his eyes were fixed on a carriage that was speeding along the road.
Finally, it stopped by a secluded alley, and a familiar slender figure jumped out of the car. She greeted the driver, and the driver drove away after paying the money. The other party started to rush into the alley, and his pace gradually changed from walking faster and faster to running.
"Follow." Charles, who was overlooking the scene, ordered.
Soon, he saw Mei Lu rushing into a room, and there was a burst of conflicting movement inside.
This time without Shire's instructions, Sebastian had already led him closer to the cabin, and there was a sound of people inside.
"Please stop." Merlu's highly recognizable voice sounded first, "The Jack the Ripper case has been closed by the young master, so this woman must not die."
What? Charles' pupils contracted for a while. But what shocked him even more was the female voice that sounded afterwards.
"I thought it was Shire who came out to stop me, but he was so arrogant that he only sent you here?" That was the voice of Lady Red Angelina Dares... his aunt.
"You misunderstood. The young master didn't know that you were Jack the Ripper. It was only when I found out that I secretly ran to stop you."
The maid retorted calmly.
"Now Viscount Dorit is being sent to prison as a scapegoat. With a little manipulation, he can be Jack the Ripper forever. But you just need to stop now, and everything before can be treated as if nothing happened. Angelina Ma'am, you are one of the young master's few remaining blood relatives. Although he always acts cold, he actually attaches great importance to relatives and friends. If you continue to commit crimes, you will choose to fight against the young master. The result will be whether you Even the young master will feel pain."
"Please stop, don't do things that embarrass the young master again."
