The Earl of Kirk has no objection to his daughter picking up a child back, and she can arrange it as she pleases, but his eyebrows are raised when it comes to the kidnapping case. Chrissy’s injury has not yet recovered and he encountered such a bad thing. He almost died. I can't see my daughter anymore, if it wasn't for her daughter's vigilant escape.Therefore, even Earl Cork, who has always been good-tempered, still conducted searches centered on the small town.

According to what Chris said, the Earl of Cork also sent someone to look there. There were only two corpses there, both of which were killed with a knife in the neck. Obviously, it was not what Chris described, and it should have been seen by the people who came here to hand over the goods later. The man ran away, and there were two more half-dead. Afraid of revealing them, they simply killed them to silence them.

Those two corpses were also taken by Scotland Yard to find out their identities, to see if they could find out the relevant people and find out the mastermind behind the kidnapping case. The gangsters in the small town usually steal things and have no relatives, because they have not stayed in the same place for a long time, and no one is familiar with them, let alone know who they are connected with. Generally speaking, there is no conclusion. information.

But it is obvious that the Earl of Cork will not just give up. The town has been scraped three feet away, which really created a lot of dark trading scenes, and all kinds of homeless corpses that no one pays attention to. No case.

The ordinary residents of the town naturally fully cooperated with the earl's actions in these two successive cases. It is also expected that those who had ghosts in their hearts and refused to cooperate were forcibly broken into the secret place by a large number of people and then transferred to Scotland Yard something happened.

After such a toss, the town became much cleaner and safer, but Earl Kirk still couldn't find any clues about the group who kidnapped Chris, so he put the responsibility on Scotland Yard, and told him that he must solve the case and find the mastermind behind it. Let Scotland Yard also want to cry but have no tears.

During this period of time, Scotland Yard was stuffed with prisoners by the Earl of Cork, filling up some empty dungeons at once. They almost didn't have the energy to manage so many prisoners. They were understaffed and urged to solve the case. .

The girl was not surprised that she couldn't find any clues. She was able to get rid of those two people decisively, which meant that the person who traded had to be ruthless, and letting the corpse stay where it was meant to show her confidence that she would never be discovered. , that is to say, no matter how much you check those two people, you probably won't be able to find out what's behind the scenes.But the girl still remembered hearing what those two said in the warehouse, it was cheaper than those noble lords.

Speaking of which, even if the aristocrats are not behind the scenes, they must be the reason for this. The girl is thinking about the human trafficking, and the kidnapped are all girls, and they are all young girls, so it can basically be ruled out that it is human organs. Basically, servants can also be excluded from the kind of transaction, because listening to their words has a bit of obscenity, and it should be from that aspect. It is definitely impossible to sell directly, and the nobles also need face, that is to say In secret.Secret exchange?Or the black market?The girl blinked her eyes. There should be no such dark transactions in the surrounding towns. It should be bigger, that is, the one near the center of London is more likely.

Because the more powerful nobles are all gathered in the center of London, the place where the girl is located belongs to a suburban town in the Greater London area. A small town can have at most one or two nobles. This town is divided into Cork. The Earl's territory, so there is only the Earl of Cork, a nobleman. Naturally, there will be no such exchange in a place with no high-quality customers.

There is no manpower available, the girl wondered if she should go to the center of London to explore by herself.If it was an adult Sherlock these days, she could transfer the entrustment to Sherlock, but for this child, forget it.

The last time she entrusted her, she also asked them to give it a try because Mycroft and Mr. Holmes were there, as well as in her home town, the center of London. That place might not be suitable for Sherlock, who is inexperienced now. .

Although it seems to outsiders that the young girl may be less experienced, but that's how she tends to show weakness. No one would be afraid of a country girl, the daughter of an earl who was promoted from a commoner.

The girl was thinking about the plan, and she seemed to have been led astray by William. Originally, she stayed away from troublesome things, but this time she insisted on finding the mastermind behind the scenes.

Obviously knowing that there must be many nobles involved, and those people should not attack her after knowing her identity. After all, they want to make money and not to cause trouble, so she will be safe in the future, but they can't stop it I want to find out behind the scenes, because they are definitely not the only ones this time, the transaction must have been carried out for a long time, how many girls will suffer or even die.

The girl stood up, and Fred, who was watering the flower bed outside the window, glanced at her, as if he had made a decision, blinked his eyes in doubt, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

The girl was stunned for a second before she realized that Fred, who had been quite taciturn and hadn't spoken to her in the past few days, asked, "Why are you afraid?" The girl was also puzzled, but then she came to her senses.

"Oh, are you talking about carrying a knife with me? I have a lot of dangerous things on me. You should have seen it last time. The other one I got rid of at once is more ruthless than a knife. "

Fred thought of the screaming person. Originally, he didn't have much hope at that time. He just thought that Miss Noble, those people must not dare to take heavy hands casually, so she asked her to drag someone down. He didn't expect her to make a move. Some of them killed one even faster than him. To be honest, at that time, Fred had a deep thought that women are really scary.

Fred was silent again, but it was rare for the girl to see Fred speak, and she felt like asking a question. "You look like a girl, what did you do before~"

"I've done a lot of things... I just did odd jobs in the opera house and watched them learn."

"Then who were you planning to save at that time." The girl believed that no one could resist her "speaking skills" nagging.

"...She's from the opera house, a handyman like me. I saw her kidnapped and thrown into the carriage that day, so I stole a similar wig and followed the carriage for a few hours. I replaced her when I left the carriage for the time being." Fred spoke in a bit of a slow manner, if someone with poor patience would probably interrupt him directly, don't bother to listen, but the girl is quite boring, Also very patient.

Continue to look at Fred. Looking directly at the other party during the conversation is considered a kind of encouragement and politeness. Fred saw that the girl did not have any other emotions. He wanted to hear him continue with some encouragement, but hesitated Just continue talking.

"If you really want to catch the people behind the scenes, I probably still remember the family crest on the carriage. I was taken to a noble's house by them, but then I was discarded because I was too thin and young and unattractive. , That group of people thought they could get money by selling it no matter what, so they kept me planning to change places and see if there were any buyers." Fred said.

The girl glanced at him, he was a bit ugly for a girl, but he was pretty handsome and cute for a boy, but age should be the main problem.The group of people who originally wanted to catch must not be so young, but there are probably too many people, and I can't remember clearly, so I thought when they caught a small person.

"Family emblem? If you remember, I can draw it for people to look for." The girl sat at the table and picked up a pen.

Fred's eyes were a bit sad, "Even if you find it, you can't solve it. That family crest looks very complicated? It should be a noble of high status, and, although their behavior is very secretive, in the eyes of other nobles But it is not a secret, which means that it is a well-known transaction, and it is definitely not just the black hand behind the scenes. It will involve the interests of many nobles and even black spots. Even the Earl, who wants to find the murderer behind the scenes for you at this time, knows this complicated I won’t do anything after the dispute.”

Fred still knows how much noise Earl Cork has made to avenge his daughter during this period, but in his opinion, the layers of noble connections above have long been a giant net, and if Chris can escape and rescue It's not easy to get a group of people. If you check in again, even if you know the people behind the scenes, you can't do anything. On the contrary, it's better not to know.

Interest is the strongest alliance that connects two or more people. If it is a place like the black market or an exchange, which involves the rights and interests of many nobles, it is indeed a troublesome matter. However, it is not William and Albert who are looking for trouble for the nobles. Favorite thing.

Originally, she didn't want to disturb William and the others from going to school, and planned to explore the way by herself first, but after Fred said so, the girl felt that she had to call them. She felt that William might be Sherlock's old enemy, the professor, the criminal. The Napoleon of the world is naturally much smarter than her. At best, she is considered a little clever, and some insights beyond this era can sometimes surprise William. William's ability and intelligence are the real geniuses.

"Speaking of which, I think your skills are pretty good, much better than me, the fighting scum, do you want to participate? By the way, just help us identify the person you know and the nobleman." The girl asked casually. A sentence of Fred, because I feel that Fred is not an ordinary child. An ordinary child can have the perseverance to keep up with the carriage for a few hours, and he can perfectly replace the rescued girl. After being disgusted, he was not killed, and he kept hiding the knife. Some time ago, a knife made people incapacitated.

A series of actions showed that this is a powerful character. At this time, the girl regretted that she hadn't read much about Sherlock Holmes. This kind of powerful character might be an important supporting role in the original work.

Judging by his chivalrous and righteous character, he is more like the protagonist's camp, but now with her, maybe William can make sense of him and become a member of his own camp.

Geniuses and subordinates have to be cultivated from an early age, so that they are more stable. After all, what they do is not normal in the eyes of ordinary people, and they will naturally be rejected by normal people. On the contrary, it is easier for children to stand on the same side as them. Front, absorb their ideas.Otherwise, where did the most common hidden guards in the ancient novels I read before come from? Didn't they just cultivate loyalty since childhood.

Speaking of the hidden guard, the girl looked at the taciturn Fred. The knife made him very flexible and his movements were light, which seemed to be in line with the nature of the hidden guard. What type did he grow up to be.

That's right, from the girl's point of view, although he hasn't contacted William yet, he will undoubtedly be persuaded by William to stand with them in the end, that's how confident he is.

"Us?" Fred looked at Chris suspiciously, "Are you going to call the count?"

"No~, you will know tomorrow." The girl raised her finger and shook her mysterious smile, then went back to the room to send a telegram.
