Facing the new rising sun, Carl and Cyril returned to their home in London.
Because of what was explained in advance, the little maid...
No, it should be that the maid Nina, who has become a young girl, has not gotten up yet, and is still enjoying her sweet dream in bed.
Taking care not to disturb the maid, Karl quietly sneaked into the study room in his house with Cyril.
The purpose of coming here is very clear, which is to put the map on my bookshelf.
Because the report in hand only had a map near the crime scene, and the bookstore was not open yet, so to find a map that could provide an overview, Karl chose to return to his study.
Although the map of London placed here is still the version from when he went to Africa a few years ago, fortunately, the general situation of the city has not changed much, so it can still provide a lot of help to Karl.
Marking the locations of the hospital that lost five nurses and the residences of the four murdered judges on the map, Karl immediately started tracing them with his hands.
And looking at the actions of her contractor, Cyril couldn't help but ask:
"Karl, are you planning to study the map and find out where these vampires are hiding?"
"certainly."
Karl nodded without turning his eyes for a moment, and then began to tell his thoughts.
"Since he is a vampire and he killed four judges living in various areas on the same night, this means that this group of vampire brides have a common lair and accept the unified dispatch of their master."
Speaking of this, Karl couldn't help but look at Cyril and said in a slightly proud tone:
"You also know that vampires cannot be exposed to sunlight."
"So the locations of the four attacked people were demarcated. Taking into account the physical strength of the vampire bride, a range was defined based on the footsteps of ordinary people. It is easy to obtain such an area."
As he spoke, Karl dipped his hand into some ink, and then drew a circle on the unfolded map.
Pointing to the circle on the map, Karl continued:
"Calculating the time to go and return, and to raid four locations in one night, then the hiding place of these vampires and vampire brides must be within the range I have designated."
Looking at Karl with a confident face, Cyril immediately added to his thoughts:
"There is indeed no problem with this range. Considering that vampire brides want to charm humans and do not have any obviously disgusting filth on their bodies, they must not live in dirty sewers. In this case, the range will be further narrowed.
Already."
"That's right."
"A dwelling on the ground that is unwilling to receive sunlight during the day."
Agreeing with Ceryl's statement, Karl also carefully tore off the map and put it in his pocket.
"It happens to be daytime now, we should go."
So just like when they returned home, the two of them sneaked out of their mansion like thieves.
During this period, the maid Nina didn't even know that the two guys she was serving had come back and tore off part of the map in the study.
While heading to this area with a clear goal, Cyril also asked Karl curiously:
"Karl, why don't you go and inform the judge?"
"Even if it's not very useful in combat, I think it should be okay for them to help find a house that can't see light, right?"
"This saves time, maybe we can go back to bed earlier!"
"Come on."
Rolling his eyes helplessly, Karl then said:
"If some people really know that those who attack humans are not supernatural beings, but vampires that can make people achieve immortality, God knows how much trouble they will cause."
"It's just the two of us who will take action and handle this matter and it will be over."
"Human greed..."
Hearing Karl's reasons, Cyril nodded in agreement.
"Looking at it this way, it's really better not to cause any complications in this matter."
In the early morning sunshine, Carl took Cyril around the streets and alleys of London, with the goal of finding a house that did not open the windows or had no sunlight.
But after walking through it all morning, the results were not satisfactory.
Within the scope defined by Karl, apart from the large residential areas, there were only some factories and markets connected between blocks.
Factories are now busy with work, and there is no possibility of harboring vampires. And in the houses where ordinary people live, even if they have rooms without opening windows, Karl has observed that no vampires are harboring them.
As for the shops on the street, almost all of them were open for business at this time, and there was no suitable location for vampires to live.
Things seemed to have come to a standstill.
At noon of the day, when the sun is strongest.
Carl and Ceryl arrived at the last place they had not yet checked, the market.
As time goes by, the market happens to be at a busier time of the day, and the market, which is almost in an open-air environment, does not look like a place where vampires can hide.
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Faced with this result of getting nothing, Karl couldn't help but wonder if he had overlooked some key information, which turned this inference into a joke of getting nothing.
Seeing Karl's expression starting to turn bad, Cyril immediately spoke to encourage him:
"Karl, don't be discouraged."
"We have only been walking for half a day. Judging from the wisdom of this goddess, your speculation is completely feasible in principle. Just hold on to it."
It was at this time that the fishmonger at a fish stall they passed by greeted Seliel:
"Little girl, would you like to buy some fresh sea fish?"
"These were just caught last night."
"No."
Rejecting the fishmonger's offer with an expressionless face, Seriel thought about it and couldn't help but sigh:
"You said that if vampires were not afraid of living water, we could look for traces of them on the Thames. That would be great."
"Who said..."
Just when Karl opened his mouth to respond to Ceryl, his enhanced hearing suddenly heard a noteworthy sound in the crowd.
"Why hasn't that boy from Hopkin come today?"
"Don't mention it. This guy had some great luck last night and was asked out by a particularly charming beauty."
"With such an opportunity, I'm afraid that kid won't be able to get out of bed today."
"Tsk."
"If it were me, the beauty would never be able to get out of bed!"
After hearing this conversation, Karl walked over without hesitation.
These people may be the key clues to find vampires!
