Chapter 11 Mummy
"The one just now seems to be Mrs. Anne?" Karl looked at the carriage going away, thoughtfully.
“Yes.”
Kerry nodded:
“Anne Boleyn, all the rich property after the earl’s death belongs to her alone, and she is well-known in the city. Lady.”
"But..."
"She is getting more and more beautiful."
As he said that, he subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth and looked at the carriage going away with a look full of reluctance.
Karl shook his head.
There are many disputes in front of the widow, not to mention such a beautiful and wealthy widow.
He had also heard the story of Lady Anne, who was born into a wealthy businessman's family, married into a wealthy family, and became a widow at a young age.
The rich inheritance left by her husband and her beautiful appearance make her the favorite of many men.
No one called her Mrs. Boleyn, but Lady Anne.
However, this beautiful lady never remarried, and she exclusively enjoyed the title and wealth of countess.
There are rumors that she has never been with a man, especially a young and handsome boy. Over time, she has become what some people call a slut.
There are those who are envious, jealous, and contemptuous.
It is said.
A marquis was her guest in bed, and due to the identity of her dead husband, no one in the city dared to mess with her.
For this reason, Kaili was obviously unhappy and did not delay the young man from getting on the carriage.
Experience taught her that you should never underestimate a woman's revenge, especially a beautiful and powerful woman.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Karl, he is more concerned about the sudden sense of crisis just now.
Killing intent!
Or something else.
No matter what it was, the aura leaking from Miles' body aroused his alertness.
I have never felt this way before.
‘Is it possible that practicing the Poison Wolf Breathing Technique can also increase your ability to perceive danger? ’
‘Or is there something weird about the guy named Miles? ’
Karl touched his chin, his eyes showing thinking.
“Ah!”
“It’s dead!”
While he was deep in thought, an exclamation came from behind.
The two people heard the sound and looked around, and saw the crowd in chaos. Some people poked their heads out curiously, while others quickly moved away.
“What’s going on?”
“It seems someone found a body!”
“Let’s go.”
Karl put away his thoughts:
"Go over and take a look."
As a city inspector, no matter how responsible he is, he cannot turn a blind eye when encountering such a thing.
The body was found in a smelly ditch. It was just bones except for skin. It was so shriveled that it looked like a mummy that had been dead for decades, or like a wooden stick that had been drained of moisture.
The scene upon entering is horrifying, disgusting and weird.
"Judging from the clothes, she should be a young woman, but there is nothing to tell from this situation."
Karl endured the odor and bent down to check:
"Neck There are two red dots. Could it be that he was really sucked to death by a vampire?"
"Vampire?" Kaili's eyes lit up:
"The one just now was named Meier. This young man’s skin is so white, could it be him?”
According to legend, vampires have very fair skin.
“Do you really believe that there are vampires?” Karl raised his head and glanced at him:
“Even if there are, it seems that vampires cannot come out during the day. If you really doubt it, you can apply to have them arrested. I’m afraid Mrs. Anne won’t agree.”
“Forget it”
Kelly simply gave up the plan:
"Let's investigate first. Speaking of which, this is the fifth similar murder case in the city."
"The deceased are all young women."
"Oh!" Karl straightened up:
“Have there been five cases already?”
When I met Chief Dinah in the church a few days ago, the other party mentioned a similar case.
"Forget it." He clapped his hands and looked at the figures running over:
"Leave it to the police...there is a night watchman?"
There are inspectors and police officers in the city to maintain law and order, and the Holy See also has similar positions called night watchmen.
It’s just that few cases can alert the night watchman.
Unless it involves worshiping evil gods, fire thieves, or some weird cases.
Kaili also looked puzzled, obviously he had just found out.

In the eyes of people who have not studied autopsy, a corpse is just a corpse, and it is difficult to find any clues.
After being handled by professional police officers and night watchmen, Karl lost interest in drinking and came to Safi Street alone.
Here are the most famous tailors and shoemakers in Signo City, as well as the largest clothing stores, watch stores, cane stores, etc.
His previous clothes were worn out.
In addition, after practicing the Poison Wolf Breathing Technique, my body shape seems to have changed again, and I also need to change my clothes.
"Sir."
The clerk with a tape measure hanging around his neck greeted warmly:
"Do you need anything?"
"I would like to customize a few sets of clothes." Karl Stand in front of the display case and examine the several sets of men's suits inside.
Again:
"Don't have too much silk."
It should be that silk is too rare here, and the popular dresses can be matched by both men and women.
Baroque or Rococo style can still be said to be elegant and luxurious on women, but men also have fancy silks and gauze sewn on their collars and sleeves, which is really unacceptable to Karl.
There are also lace and white stockings, which challenge his aesthetic limits.
“No problem.”
The clerk doesn't mind the customers' pickiness:
"Do you have any samples? Or tell us the specific requirements. We can customize them according to the requirements."
"The materials are mainly velvet and brocade, no layers required. Stacks of scarves "The simpler it is, the better." Karl stroked the clothing material and said, "The coat should be knee-length. Do you have a military uniform sample here? I plan to change it based on the military uniform."
" Yes.”
The clerk nodded, and the customer's request flashed through his mind. He felt a little strange but did not question it:
"I'll get it for you."
"Okay."
Karl nodded.
He prefers modern three-piece suits, but of course it will definitely look too different here.
However, there is still a transition between baroque and suit, and neutralizing each other can also meet the requirements.
In his opinion, the clothing in the Kingdom of Gondor is now trending towards women and excessive decoration.
This is also normal.
The rich materials will dazzle people, and they will naturally pursue luxury, and try their best to add all kinds of materials.
After you get used to these, you will pursue simplicity and refreshing, and no longer pay too much attention to the outside.
"Tuck the waist in from the back seam or both sides, and let the hem open, so that it is convenient for horseback riding and does not affect strenuous activities."
"The waist should fit well, and as for gorgeousness..."
Karl thought After thinking about it, he said:
"Add some gold thread embroidery, but not too complicated, night watchman? No, I don't want that style."
The clerk has never heard of so many requests. , simply invite the tailor master, and the two of them will start a discussion.
The tailor seemed to be very interested in Karl's proposal, especially the details, and listened very carefully.
At first glance, it looks like an apprentice studying.
“Wait a minute.”
Karl suddenly stopped discussing and looked towards the front hall, when two familiar figures came into view.
Landlady Mary and her daughter Jenny.
"Jenny."
Looking at the ladies' dress in front of her, Mary looked embarrassed:
"Three pounds, this is too expensive for us, and this kind of clothes can only be worn occasionally. It’s not practical to wear.”
"I'm going to a banquet, should I wear the old clothes you sewed?" Jenny stamped her feet:
"Mom, I finally passed the exam for the Barrow Concert Group. Isn't it worth buying a dress to congratulate me?" For a moment? ”
"But..." Mary lowered her head and said in a weak voice:
"This is too expensive!"
