White Church Under Red Fog Chapter 14
After having experience, it is not too difficult to find a place willing to do private work in London. Even if you don't know the specific person, you can get information about this through some very simple methods.After all, this is not London a hundred years later, with various legal constraints, and everyone hides deeply. In London at the end of the 19th century, many policemen had many gray or even black side jobs. Let alone fishing enforcement, even if they really committed a crime, as long as they found the right police and judge, they could successfully escape legal sanctions. How could anyone be on guard against this?After getting off the car not far outside the alley of the largest women's branch in Whitechapel, Mia walked into the alley leading to the women's branch quietly with a tall man under the dim sky.The coachman held a shilling in his hand and waited quietly outside the alley.The woman in the carriage promised that there would be another sum of money for him and
White Church Under Red Fog Chapter 15
After making an appointment with the driver for the next day's work, Mia put away her hood, took off the mask on her face, and turned back into an ordinary resident of Whitechapel and returned to Colette's Herb Shop.Nothing unusual happened in the shop. Perry took good care of the shop, tried hard to remember the prices of the herbs, and tried to remember the names of the herbs according to the herbal atlas left by Mia - this work was a bit difficult for her, but she still worked very hard.It's not easy to get a stable job. She hopes that she can still rely on this job to increase her family's income for many years to come.Although she didn't know how long the herbal shop could last when it was closed these days, but seeing Mia's confident look, there shouldn't be any problem, right?After thinking for a long time, Perry decided to let it go. The employer was not in a hurry, so why should she be in a hurry?Thinking so, Perry saw Mia coming in from the door, and she seemed to be in

The atmosphere in the carriage immediately quieted down.Victor, who didn't know what secret he had revealed, was still in a strange state of 'absent-mindedness' with a blank look in his eyes, while Mia, who was opposite him, was silent.Okay, Arthur Colette is a human being, while Anne Colette and Marina Colette are not human beings and don't deserve to have a place in this murder, right?But it's obviously meaningless to discuss this topic with the other party at this time.Victor is a killer, not a priest. Can he still expect him to have any sympathy for the innocent family members of the target who were implicated?After a moment of silence, Mia spoke again, "Who asked you to kill Arthur Colette? For what?"She didn't actually have much hope for the answer to this question. This Victor was obviously a typical killer, the kind who did things for money. It was really difficult to get enough clues from him, unless this matter was a personal grudge between him and Arthur Colette.But

"There's a fight ahead." The driver pulled the reins and said to Mia while soothing the horse.This is not a strange thing. A place like Whitechapel cannot be said to be completely chaotic, but the environment where the Colette brothers live is indeed extremely chaotic. All kinds of gangsters roam here, accompanied by smuggling and theft and other crimes.This is even the location of a famous gang... The driver lowered his eyes. He didn't know why the employer sent people here, but compared to here, the place where Isabella's female branch is located is already safe.Mia was speechless when she saw a group of people fighting each other and blocking the street. How could she be so unlucky to encounter such a thing?"Madam, can you take another person?" When she frowned at the group of people, a bearded man limped to the side of the carriage and asked.Mia: "..."She glanced at the other person and felt that she had exceeded her speechless number of times today. What kind of rubbish mak

Although Anne was weak in character, she was never a naive person. On the contrary, she was very smart, so she was able to keep the store going during the years when her husband went out to fight, instead of closing it down due to poor management and leaving the family without a livelihood.Especially since she was quite good at herbal medicine, it was definitely not an easy thing to fool such a person.So what should she do now?Mia was flipping through the pile of sundries in the house, feeling a little headache.After a painful flipping through, she finally read everything she could find carefully, including the herbal secret book in the house that was said to have been passed down for nearly a hundred years. But the problem was that these things were useless for the current situation!Annie was almost going to tear the herbal book apart but couldn't find anything, not to mention anything else. This family was really not rich enough to have enough accumulation - whether in terms of

Perry thought that it was better to be careful about such things involving efficacy products, otherwise what if the effect was not increased but reduced?Wouldn't that be the end?Derrick nodded and said nothing, just sitting in the corner of the herbal medicine store waiting for Mia to finish her work.Mia didn't let him wait too long, and quickly finished the work at hand, "Officer Derek?"What a coincidence, she was still thinking about going to the police station to ask if she could take Arthur's body back after finishing the work of the herbal medicine store these two days. Unexpectedly, the police officer came to them before she went to the police station."Miss Colette." Derek nodded at Mia, and first told her a happy news, "You can take your father's body back."The new forensic doctor Reed found was very capable. After re-examining Arthur Colette's body, he wrote an autopsy report and recorded the file. Now the body is no longer needed and can be taken back by the family for
White Church Under Red Fog Chapter 20
Reed, who was looking at the ships sailing in the distance with a face full of hatred, was confused for a moment. He couldn't understand why he would encounter such an even more unfortunate thing at such a painful moment when he was already so unlucky?Are you serious?Seeing a corpse in the place where he lost his daughter?Does God hate him so much?Reed, whose mind was in a mess, felt a sense of confusion for a moment. He stared at the corpse that floated to his feet and was pushed to hit the land for a long time before he realized one thing: why does this face look so familiar?One thing must be admitted. Putting aside the moral issues, both Ennis and Wright have good-looking faces, which allows them to be recognized by their faces even among a group of bearded hooligans, because they are indeed good-looking, and they have gained a lot of invisible benefits by relying on this good face.Even now, this face that was a little swollen by blisters could still vaguely see its good appe

Covering her mouth and widening her eyes, Mia stepped back a few steps, looking terrified, and bumped into the door frame, "Who is that? Ennis Colette?"There was still a bit of trembling in her voice, and Jackson grinned. Why did this unlucky girl come to claim the body at this time?But since the relevant person asked, he could only answer, "As you can see, yes, it is Ennis Colette."Although he didn't know this person, wasn't it personally certified by Reed?Poor little girl, she probably wouldn't have thought that she had just experienced a terrible disaster a few days ago, and now she heard another terrible news."......How did he... die?" Mia clenched the handbag in her hand and asked hesitantly, "I mean, is it the same as my father?"Jackson heard fear in her voice.Yes, why not? The girl's father died in an imitation of the Ripper, and now her uncle is dead too. It's hard not to worry about whether she, who is also a Colette, is also on the hunting list, right?He looked at Mi

"I'm so glad you like it." Mia's eyes curved up. It was worth asking Mycroft about the Duke's preferences. "Do you want to have breakfast with us or later?"When she was in a good mood, her attitude towards others was also good. She happily asked the Duke about his plan."Even breakfast is eaten separately here?" Bassett felt that since he came to Luworth, his life concept has been challenged. Whose breakfast is divided into time periods?"We have to take into account the different habits of different people." Mia smiled, handed the reins to the groom, and walked side by side with Bassett on the road of the manor to explain the situation to him, "People who are used to getting up early will have breakfast at eight o'clock, and those who get up late will have breakfast at eleven o'clock; the same is true for dinner, people who go to bed early will have breakfast at six o'clock, and those who go to bed late will have breakfast at ten o'clock; for lunch, the latter will postpone the form

It is certainly a happy thing that the employer gives a lot of money and good benefits, but it is also sad that the employer has a weird guest from time to time.A while ago, a crazy Duke of Bresmons came, and today a depraved playboy came. Now the two have collided with each other, which is really a bit unbearable.The butler began to miss the time when these two dukes did not come.At that time, there were tutors with different personalities in this manor, and there would be occasional guests to visit, but at least everyone's behavior was still within the normal range. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The Duke from Spain made a bad start, and then things went in a strange direction and never looked back.A duke who trains himself and his subordinates in the training ground every day is already scary. The manor is about to set up a pharmacy because of his existence; now there is a playboy duke. The butler is worried that he will be asked if there is a brothel that sui

After sucking in his stomach, he felt that after the exercise in the past few days, his abdominal muscles were stronger, not to mention that those effective special training made his hands and feet more flexible, making him jump back and forth between this joy and upset mood, contradictory to death. 2*** : "......." I don't know what to say to this gentleman. You look happy and sad at the same time. Are you really mentally healthy? But thinking about Mia who just left very happily, he also wanted to sigh. Sometimes some people are really qualified to be unreasonable. Silently following Lionel into the bathroom, Bassett was very surprised when he saw the liquid poured out from a bottle on the sink, "What is this?" Don't you use soap to wash your hands? Why use this liquid? It's not like there is no soap. "Removing the gunpowder smell on your hands will prevent you from being affected by the gunpowder smell when you eat." Lionel rubbed his hands carefully and said to Bassett. Thi

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang! Bang!" The sound of the bullets was very regular, and Mia's shooting method was also very skillful. The first bullet tried the bullet, and the three bullets behind began to exert their strength. First, one bullet hit a flying disc, and the two reloaded bullets hit the flying disc at the same time, making two very symmetrical holes on it. "How boring." Mia looked at the falling frisbee and curled her lips. She threw the hunting bullet in her hand on the table, picked up the hand bullet that the manservant had brought before, weighed it, and began to load bullets. "Click?" She shook the hand bullet, and the shell returned to its position with a crisp sound. "Release the frisbee." Mia used her left arm as a support point and put her right hand on it, "Bang bang bang bang bang bang?" Six bullets were fired continuously, directly hitting the frisbee in the air. Ignoring the stunned eyes of the people around her, she reloaded her handgun, then picked up another

Apart from some very few landscape paintings, he really prefers portraits of people. For him, the latter are more valuable to appreciate. A group of people quickly moved to the collection room, a room that had been covered with curtains for a long time, and was exposed to the sun again because of the arrival of the guests. "...... It's spectacular." Bassett didn't know how to describe the owner's style of behavior here. In this collection room, not only are there portraits hanging on the walls, but there are also rows of wooden shelves hanging on the open space in the room. People with poor eyesight would think that there are a pile of colorful cloth hanging inside. What kind of weird behavior is this? But even so, he had to admit that there are really a lot of collections here, so many that it dazzled him. How many portraits are hung here? For Mia, it's a lot. The portraits of the three richest men in the Leamington family are all here. How can there not be a lot? It's because
Chapter 134
The Duke of Hastings really didn't want to see this situation, but that didn't mean he had to sell the land to Mia. It didn't matter if he sold it to the enemies of the Leamington family, or if he kept it and didn't sell it or develop it, or just left it there?? Anyway, he had sworn to his father that he would never marry, and was ready to make the Duke of Hastings completely extinct, so what else was there to worry about? But we need to analyze the specific issues specifically. His relationship with Mycroft was still okay. Since the other party was the matchmaker, he didn't mind going there to discuss the deal. But he didn't expect that the person who was negotiating business with him was not the Earl of Leamington himself but his sister. Oh, by the way, the Earl of Leamington standing next to him was still a child, so of course he couldn't negotiate business with him. If it wasn't his sister who was in charge, could it be his great-grandmother, Old Lady Leamington? "Hello, Miss L

"......You are thanking people for the wine now?" Mycroft was speechless. Was his ally too excited and not in a good mind? "My own winery produces the product." Mia smiled slightly. If she came to Scotland and didn't open a winery, it would be a waste of time. How could she make such a mistake? Although it was not long, she really planned to take root in Scotland and run the business here well. Then, after buying the dock, buying another winery to expand the business, wouldn't it be normal? The two complement each other. If she lived long enough, she might catch up with the prohibition on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, copy the experience of her old friend, and directly run a one-stop smuggling service from the dock to make a lot of money. How could she waste such an advantage? Mycroft was stunned. He really didn't expect Mia to be able to do this. A distillery? Yes, Scotch whisky is indeed world-famous, but why is this thing so unrelated to her? "......You really have

"What the hell is that? He's a psychopath!" Mia was so angry that she wanted to chop him. "Who is this? He even told me proudly that he helped me a lot. Do I need his help?" She said that she was not joking when she asked Mrs. Leamington to personally take action on Broussard. In the eyes of this cheap great-grandmother, power is the most important thing. If anyone dares to compete with her for power, just look at her eldest son Maurice? Leamington will know. The two of them fought each other fiercely, and then they didn't see each other for 30 years. Even when his son died, he didn't shed a single tear of joy. Why should Broussard be an exception? As long as he dared to take action and she caught solid evidence, she wouldn't have to do anything about it. Mrs. Leamington could exile her son to a place where no one would shit! What was the result? Now Broussard still maintains the image of a pure little lamb in his mother's heart. The only thing that could work was that his death dealt

As long as he doesn't mess around, Mia is happy to help train this duke to become the greatest extreme sports athlete of the 19th century, and provide various auxiliary tools for him to reach the top!According to Mia's observation, this guy is obviously a crazy lover of extreme sports, and it is very likely to succeed if he works hard on this... If it doesn't work, then he can only use hypnosis."Oh, what kind of fate do I have?" Mia sighed and made a schedule in the study, feeling that she was really unlucky. Why did she always encounter such pitfalls?"What kind of fate?" Arthur, who had just been tortured by the teacher, floated in. He was shocked when he heard Mia's words. What happened again?Just got the news from Mr. Holmes that their youngest uncle also died in Africa. Arthur was shocked to death, and now he is a little allergic to all the wind and grass in the outside world."...A not very reliable guest came to the door." Mia glanced at the haggard Arthur, and finally did n
