White Church Under Red Fog Chapter 16
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

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

There is a reason why no one can be found to put Pastor Clement down.All of them work in the same church. Who among the staff of this church doesn't know what Pastor Clement has done?To put it bluntly, although everyone has turned a blind eye to this and can even do various cooperative work under the pastor's request, it does not mean that all the staff think that what Clement has done is insignificant. Some of them think that he will be punished by God sooner or later for doing so.To put it bluntly, his current way of death and the half of his tongue that fell on the ground even make everyone feel panic.Don't ask why there is panic, this way of death is simply telling everyone why he died, okay?Whether it is his clean clothes that were stripped or his tongue that was cut off, it all shows that the person who killed him knew very well what this pastor had done, and his death was a punishment for him!What about them?The culprit who defiled the church is dead, what will happen to

Dawn... I can only say that Reed is still too naive. He doesn't understand what kind of situation he is facing at all. He just wants to find the truth of the case.And Mia is willing to provide some information because she doesn't want serious instability at her doorstep, especially the church where Anne goes to worship every week.After all, she can't be sure whether the murderer who killed Pastor Clement is targeting him alone, or he is just using Pastor Clement as an excuse to carry out an indiscriminate killing - after seeing too many serial killers, there is always a sequelae of seeing a murderer and thinking that the other party is a serial killer. Mia really can't control this kind of thing.And people like Pastor Clement are actually annoying to her.This pastor doesn't do anything like molesting children and forced buying and selling, but his mouth is really powerful. He can always use various verbal routines to make people take the initiative to get into his trap and finally

"I wish you all the best." Sybil held Mia's outstretched hand tightly with a firm expression.Mia, who came and left quickly, did not notice the woman who passed by her. She left here quickly and called a car to go to the bookstore.Going to the bookstore was the excuse she gave to Anne, so she had to bring a book back home.Mia jumped off the carriage and hurriedly turned into a small alley, took off the mask on her face, put on the previous hat, put away the cloak and walked out from the other side, turning into the girl with scars on her face again, and walked into a bookstore.At this time, she really missed more convenient and fast means of transportation. The carriage, the mainstream means of transportation at this time, was really too slow, and people had to spend most of their time on the road.For people who move in the city rather than between cities, it is really a tormenting thing.Fortunately, Spitalford is not far from the teahouse, so Mia didn't have to run around. She

As a small clerk in the British government, Mycroft's daily work has nothing to do with those so-called upper-class people who do nothing but hold various dances every day to indulge themselves. The House of Lords is the same, and the House of Commons is his focus.So he would not read the usual gossip tabloids. These things are all about the love affairs and life gossips between various upper-class people. They are of no use to his work. If he has that time, he would rather smoke a whole day in the Diogenes Club than explore the sparks and private lives between a certain viscount and a certain lord's daughter!However, Mycroft, who has never been interested in these things, never thought that one day he would need to find information from such tabloids.Who told those newspapers like The Times not to report how rebellious someone's daughter is, and how deviant someone's son is?Even if the content of this kind of gossip tabloid is all garbage, it still has a little value. For this va

Previously, she bought two books on chemistry, along with a book on herbs, to upgrade the products that were previously selling well in the store, and improved the formulas of some products. Now she needs more "inspiration" and "knowledge" to improve her abilities, so she still has to go to the bookstore."Eat something good." Anne handed five pounds to Mia and said.Compared with cheap food and daily necessities, the price of books is not at the same level at all. A book can be a few shillings cheaper, and the expensive ones can jump directly to pounds. If you don't have money, don't think about taking any useful books from the bookstore. Anne still remembers that Mia said that she would spend a day in the bookstore, not only to choose the books to buy, but also to use the time to buy books to read more books. It would be really uncomfortable if she didn't eat well at noon."Got it. "Mia blinked and took the money from Annie.Compared to cheap food, the price of books is not in the s

Finally, the family decided to move to Spitalford, next to Whitechapel.It is not far from Derek's workplace, and the market street here can bring a lot of people, so that the newly opened pharmacy will not lack customers.After determining the location, things became simple.Derek did not need to continue to look at the address to investigate the environment. Anne and Mia went to Spitalford every day to organize the new residence and pharmacy.Compared with Colette's Herbal Medicine Store, the environment in Spitalford is much better. In addition to safety issues, there is also a living environment.The original Colette Herbal Medicine Store was not a high-quality building.The house is low, and the windows are not only few but also small. The circle of buildings behind the house that are taller than their own house blocks the sunlight tightly, and only a few specific moments can shine in; the front is completely shaded, and there is even less light.As a result, this herbal medicine

The two sides began a tug-of-war in negotiations."……………………10,000 pounds!" Leonard finally stood up and slammed the table, "This is the highest price I can offer. If you still don't agree, then we can only find another buyer!"He was really fed up with this family and couldn't wait to leave, shouting out the bottom line price given by the boss before."Deal!" Anne also stood up, "Sign the contract!"She couldn't stand it anymore. After several hours of tug-of-war, Anne felt that her brain was about to burn, and her eyes began to dizzy. If she continued, she was really worried that she would faint because her brain stopped working.So let it be, there is no more money to be squeezed out, so stop while you are ahead.As for the so-called pharmaceutical companies such as Metlin, they were all pulled out to be used as bargaining chips. If you really take the initiative to contact them, you don't know what the result will be.As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth a hundred birds

Especially after entering the door, he was arranged to sit facing the door, and the three people opposite him were sitting near the door, blocking the possibility of leaving and surrounding him in the middle, which made him feel very bad.This bad feeling was not much better even if there was an assistant beside him. After all, there was a man who smiled like a beast and a woman who smiled like a devil staring at him tightly. It would feel bad for anyone.Leonard's assistant thought so too.Even though he was not a timid person, he still felt uncomfortable facing the three people opposite him. The cold feeling as if being stared at by a large beast made him return to the memory of being almost stabbed to death by a wild boar in his childhood. He felt uncomfortable all over and could only focus on Anne, the only one who seemed to be more friendly? At least she didn't look so fierce.What a coincidence, Leonard thought so too.Rather than facing two fierce monsters, he would rather face

And this potion has almost no side effects.It has been circulating in the Women's Branch for nearly a year without any problems. This thing is much safer than other potions that claim to be able to treat various diseases with messy substances added. In fact, there is no need for a one-year safety period. As long as the person who uses this thing does not die immediately, it can be operated for pharmaceutical companies. Nowtheir safety will only make the selling price of this potion formula rise further.Then how to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies has become a crucial matter."An exclusive product with excellent effect. All the Indian series potions that Lang Susan has leaked are made by Colette Herbal Store. They didn't even register for patents!" The manager of Fred Pharmaceutical Company said to his boss, never mentioning how he knew about this potion.Going to the Women's Branch of Whitechapel with friends to have fun, such things, will only bring bad results if told to t

Susan was not worried that the little girl in front of her would not be tempted.She knew very well how talented Mia was, and what her talent meant to Colette's Herbal Shop. With her presence, Colette's Herbal Shop would leave Whitechapel sooner or later, and the Colette family would become richer.But don't forget one thing, the person in charge of Colette's Herbal Shop is still Anne Colette, and this person in charge has just married a policeman.This means that not only does she have a younger brother to share the property with her, but there may be more brothers and sisters in the future to share the wealth she has worked hard for. Can she really tolerate this unfairness?But this is already thinking about the good side. What's worse is that she will continue to be sucked dry by her family and give everything for this family.Because no decent man will marry such a disfigured girl, she can only rely on her family to better display her talents. After all, this is not a world friend

Mia, who is developing her own business, has not been working on new products in the laboratory in Colette Herbal Medicine Store, which is similar to a thatched house. Instead, she is sitting in the church to attend a wedding.After several months of pursuit, Anne and Derek finally officially got together and decided to get married. Today is the day of the wedding.As for the guests, Anne's side is Perry and several neighbors who have a good relationship with her. Little Arthur also served as a flower boy. After scattering flowers, he was held in Mia's arms and fell asleep in the hypnotic words of the pastor; Derek's side is a bunch of police colleagues, including Reed, the boss, and Jackson, the coroner. Everyone sat on the chairs in the church and watched the couple become a newlywed couple under the auspices of the pastor."In the name of God, I hereby declare you husband and wife, and the groom can kiss the bride." As the pastor's voice fell, Derek and Anne kissed each other, and
