Chapter 15 Bait
It would be a dream for Carl to leave the party in the middle of the party. Of course, it would be better if it was not because of the murder.
One kilometer outside the city, the victim whose life force had been drained by unknown means fell in the grass. The passerby who called the police was taking notes.
The identity of the deceased has been confirmed.
It is Ham who came to the banquet!
Seeing the police officers he was dealing with a few days ago die in the wilderness, even though Karl had an indifferent temperament, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, and his face was extremely ugly.
“With the same technique, the murderer should be the same person.”
Dina’s beautiful eyes were filled with evil, and she said coldly:
“The previous victims were all women. , or a pure virgin, Ham is the only exception."
"Could it be that Ham discovered something, so the murderer killed him?" Kaili was also there today, guessing.
Karl said nothing.
The perpetrator dared to kill the inspector if he dared to kill the police officer. He had always cherished his life. Although he was angry, he did not want to get involved rashly.
“Yes.”
Dina nodded and asked:
“Did Ham come to the banquet alone today?”
"No." Kaili's eyes were strange:
"Colleague Ham said that he has been very close to Mrs. Anne recently, and they made an appointment to attend a banquet together, and even showed off this matter in front of his colleagues."
"Mrs. Anne?" Dinah frowned.
This noble lady has a very complicated background. Even she cannot be easily provoked unless necessary.
But how did Ham get involved with Lady Anne?
Is it to investigate the case?
Or something else?
Thinking about it, she looked at Karl who was doing nothing on the side, and suddenly said as if she thought of something:
"Karl!"
"Sir." Karl came back to his senses.
"Help me get something." Dinah took out a key from her body:
"The location is No. 17, Safi Street. Give the key to the owner of the room, and he will give the thing to you tomorrow. Remember to bring it to me."
"You don't want to stay here anyway, right?"
"Uh..." Karl smiled dryly and looked up at the darkening sky. , reached out and took the key:
“Guaranteed to complete the task!”
"Yes."
Dina nodded, watching Karl's back move away, her beautiful eyes slowly narrowed.

It's approaching night.
The sky is already dark.
The old lady carried a kerosene lamp and used the dim light to signal Karl to take away the package on the table.
“These are the old clothes left by Dinah. I thought she didn’t want them anymore and was going to throw them away.”
“Take them away, take them away.”
Old clothes?
Are you treating yourself as a servant running errands?
Karl shook his head speechlessly, put away his things and left.
The crescent moon hangs in the sky, casting a faint halo, and is obscured by a layer of fog above the city.
‘I heard that a coal-burning factory was built in Beicheng. The fog was discharged from the factory. There was such a huge amount of pollution in just a few months. ’
"Destroying the environment..."
'Is it possible that the world will also usher in the Industrial Revolution? ’
Karl looked up to the sky, letting his thoughts wander, suddenly stopped and drew out the short sword from his waist.
When he went to the banquet today, he didn't bring a broadsword, only a short sword.
“Who’s there?”
Looking at the darkness ahead, Karl looked solemn:
“Come out!”
“Huh?”
The shadows shook in the dark alley, and two figures walked side by side. When they came out, one voice was surprised:
“What a keen sense, it can actually detect us.”
"Who are you?"
Karl's eyes shrank, and the special induction produced after practicing the Poison Wolf Breathing Technique made his skin tighten:
"What are you going to do?"
Killing intent!
Danger!
The visitor is not good!
But I shouldn’t have offended anyone during this period. Why would someone target me?
"What are you doing?"
The taller man among the two sneered when he heard this, took two steps forward, his eyes paused on the dagger in Karl's hand, and said:< br>
“Put down your bundle.”
pack?
Karl raised his eyebrows.
Are you here for Dinah?
“Okay.”
Taking a step back, Karl spoke:
"I'll put the package down and don't disturb each other."
"Yes, I like people like you who are knowledgeable." The tall and strong man smiled and nodded, expressing satisfaction:
" Put down your things, you can leave.”
“Wait a minute!”
Just as Karl put down the package and was about to leave, another person suddenly said:
"You can only leave after being searched!"
"That's right."
The tall and strong man nodded: "If a key thing is hidden on you, wouldn't our work be in vain? Friend, please take off your clothes."
"Don't go too far." Karl's face darkened.
"Too much?" The other party said impatiently:
"Take it off if I ask you to. Where's all the nonsense?"
The next moment.
The man moved.
With a sudden step on his feet, his whole body was like a sharp arrow, and a cruel and ferocious evil aura hit his face.
Just the mere eye contact made Carl's heart skip a beat.
Murderous intent!
This is the cruel look in his eyes that comes only after his hands have been stained with human life, maybe even more than one human life, and he will attack at the slightest disagreement.
He has practiced martial arts for many years and strengthened his body, but he has never had a life-or-death fight with anyone else.
As the distance gets closer, you can see more clearly that there is a mask on the other person's face, which fits the cheek.
"Whoa!"
Karl swung his sword and intercepted it like an iron gate.
The target is not the masked man rushing in front of him, but behind him.
“Ding…”
A black shadow swung a sharp blade and collided with the dagger. The huge collision force made both of them fall back.
Sneak attack!
There was actually a person hiding behind him. The moment the masked man took action, he launched a sneak attack at the same time.
Fortunately, Karl had a keen sense and defended himself in advance.
“Be careful!”
The attack failed, and the attacker said urgently:
"He is a knight's squire!"
Before coming, they did not expect that their opponent would be a knight's squire who practiced breathing techniques.
But even if you are a knight squire, what can you do?
As long as you are not a knight, there will not be much difference in physical fitness from ordinary people.
Let’s talk again.
The current situation is three against one.
"Huh..."
The masked man kept charging forward, and at some point a steel rod appeared in his hand, and he slammed it down towards Karl.
The last tall and strong man also rushed over silently, stabbing with a big sword in his hand.
Their movements are fast, fierce, and they cooperate tacitly. If they don't take action, it will be a killing move.
"Ding..."
"Dang!"
Karl waved his dagger and resisted frantically.
However, in the face of fatal attacks from three people, although he guarded tightly, he was still forced to retreat continuously.
He has only been a knight's attendant for a short time, and his physique is stronger than that of ordinary people, but his strength is limited.
What's more, the three opponents are all fierce people, and the weapons in their hands are not easy to grasp, and they are in danger of falling below for a while.
“Ah!”
Karl’s chest swelled, and a huge force burst out with the shout.
The dagger waved to deflect the incoming attack. The air trembled slightly, and then three afterimages appeared out of thin air and rolled in front of him.
Combat skills!
Fierce wind slashes!
"Ding Dong..."
"Pfft!"
The dagger cut open the flesh, causing one person to stumble back.
However, after using his combat skills, Karl also felt weak in his body and was about to take the opportunity to escape when his expression suddenly changed.
"Huh..."
A black shadow fell from the sky, and the thin sword in his hand cast shadows of swords, covering the tall and strong man.
As soon as the sword shadow was withdrawn, blood splashed.
"Plop!"
The tall and muscular man fell heavily to the ground and was no longer able to resist.
"Sir Dinah."
Looking at the incoming person, Carl's face did not look happy with the aftermath of the disaster, but his voice was angry:
"You let me be the bait!"< br>
“Now is not the time to talk about this.” Dinah shrugged and glanced at him in surprise:
“My sword skills are good.”
"Chase!"
"Don't let them escape!"
