"How can you prove it...?"
The monster asked in a drawn-out, eerie tone.
"I lost a necklace, and here happens to be another one. What a coincidence! How could this necklace not be mine?"
Su Bai replied without batting an eye.
"..."
The monster's brain crashed once again.
Take advantage of this moment.
Su Bai opened the second secure cabinet.
The reward in this compartment was an exquisite jewelry box. When opened, an emerald earring was revealed before him.
It's not equipment.
However, the emerald on this piece of jewelry is a finely crafted, delicate gemstone.
【The Cracked Agility Gem】

[Note: When socketed into jewelry, it grants 4-8 points of Agility; when socketed into boots, it grants 0.5 movement speed. Requires 1 socket.]
...
"Those belong to Mrs. Ellen, surely you didn't lose them..."
The monster seemed to have finally found an opportunity to question them.
"Hey, you've come to the right place! I'm here to get it for her!"
Su Bai turned around and looked at the big, clever thing with a loving gaze.
"But Mrs. Ellen is dead!"
The monster's expression suddenly turned hostile.
“Yes.” Su Bai’s eyes darted around, but his tone remained unchanged. “Someone asked me to come and pick it up. You didn’t know, did you? Mrs. Ellen is keeping a gigolo on the side!”
"oh?!"
The monster's lifeless eyes widened instantly, and its voice became somewhat hurried, "You mean the one at the theater?"
"Huh?~!"
Su Bai's voice went through three changes: from surprise to doubt, and then to affirmation.
"That's him!"
He nodded emphatically.
"Well, that pretty boy is really heartless. Mrs. Ellen just died mysteriously at home, and he's already busy dividing up the inheritance!"
The monster began to accuse them with righteous indignation.
"Exactly! Inhuman!"
Su Bai nodded in agreement and opened the third cabinet.
Before he could even see clearly, the monster said, "This was left outside by a mysterious fellow the other day, and I picked it up. You can take it too." It seemed no longer cared whether Su Bai was the owner of the item. It continued, "You know, Mrs. Allen is really good to that pretty boy. She often takes him shopping for clothes and even bought him an expensive hunting dog..."
"He's worse than an animal!" Su Bai thought to himself, "Your gossip spirit is really burning, isn't it?" But he still agreed verbally, picking up the items from the third cabinet and saying, "I think even that hunting dog is more loyal than him!"
"That's right!"
The monster slapped its thigh excitedly and stretched out its two-meter-long neck, swaying it in mid-air.
Su Bai glanced at the item in his hand.
[Curse Diary]
【Props】
[Level: Excellent]
[Note: This book records some basic methods for casting curses. After reading it, you can learn how to make a cursed doll—'Dear Miss Phoenix, you only need to take a strand of hair and a little blood from your target, and make a doll according to the method in the book, and you can win the heart of the one you love.']
...
"There's a story behind it."
Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly after reading the description of the prop.
The monster sister was still rambling on and on when he interrupted, "I forgot something. Which room is Miss Phoenix staying in?"
"You mean that infatuated young lady... Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have spoken ill of her behind her back."
The monster sister immediately calmed down.
"She lives at number 32. Are you going to see her? Be careful, she's been in a bad mood lately."
The older sister kindly offered this reminder.
'Bad mood...? '
This statement reveals a lot of information.
Are there still people alive in the wealthy neighborhood?
Of course not.
Under the control of the Demon Flower, only monsters can move around here. The eldest sister's statement that she was in a bad mood was undoubtedly a reminder that Miss Phoenix had become a terrifying monster.
"It's nothing serious."
He gave a perfunctory reply.
Click.
He opened the fourth cabinet.
There was a leather bag inside.
Under the monster sister's gaze, Su Bai calmly took out the bag, opened it, and took out a stack of banknotes and a few silver coins.
"This is..."
The monster lady was about to make an introduction.
Su Bai took out the banknotes and silver coins, handed them to it, and said, "The money is yours. I quite like the style of this bag."
"..."
The monster sister fell silent, her eyes filled with disbelief.
“This…this won’t do. If Butler Lyman finds out…” It pushed forward with its two arms covered in twigs.
But Su Bai took the opportunity to force the money into his hand.
"Then we won't let him know!"
He said decisively.
The monster woman clutched the money in her hand, looking slightly bewildered. Her tone finally softened, "Don't tell him..."
"Did you say you'd punish me too?"
Su Bai smiled.
They're used to fighting and killing.
It feels pretty good to occasionally outwit and outmaneuver these monsters.
The value of paper money and silver coins is nothing; what's truly valuable is what's hidden inside the bag.
Su Bai knew what it was as soon as he saw the familiar style of the leather bag.
Intelligence briefcase!
This thing can reliably produce a hidden item similar to a medical record.
Extremely precious!
