Looking at Lily, who was lying on the sofa and had regained her normal breathing, Lu Ban looked at the people in the room.

Now several people are gathered together again.

As for the servants, they were not summoned and continued to do their own work.

"This house contains the wealth of Taoist Heming. No wonder my father has become much healthier and younger since he moved in..."

Rum glanced at Lily, who had her eyes closed, and spoke awkwardly.

"Mr. Stone, you'll help us find that thing, right?"

"I can only promise to do my best, but if there is a serious danger, I may have to re-evaluate the price of this commission."

Stone replied calmly.

"Is she possessed by a ghost?"

Ms. Emma asked curiously.

“I guess so.”

Stone responded.

"This house not only contains Taoist Heming's wealth, but also Taoist Heming's curse. If the curse cannot be avoided, then everyone will die, including you and me."

"But these servants have lived here for many years, and the butler has not encountered any danger. How can this be explained?"

Rum asked back.

"Perhaps Ms. Lily accidentally touched the relics of Taoist Heming."

Stone looked around the room and said seriously.

His words made Emma and Rum tremble slightly. They looked suspiciously at every corner of the room, fearing that something would suddenly jump out and kill them.

"Should we wait for Master Byron to come?"

Emma asked.

"It's not certain when he will come. For everyone's safety, I need to check everyone's room first to make sure there are no problems."

Stone said again.

It is obviously impossible to let everyone sleep in Lily's room, and these people will not agree. Everyone will eventually return to their own rooms. Therefore, Stone will use this as an excuse to check the rooms of these people first to make sure that Taoist Heming's relics are not in their rooms.

"That's... okay."

Although somewhat reluctant, Rum took another look at the marks on Lily's neck, swallowed, and finally agreed to Stone's proposal.

Emma did not object, but Goldberg, Browning's friend, rejected Stone.

"I don't like people coming into my house, and I'm not afraid of ghosts and monsters."

Said the burly man who looked more like a thug than a businessman.

Stone did not persist. He and Lu Ban checked Rum and Emma's house together. The two did not live here usually, and the house was very tidy. No clues were found.

"Maybe Lily's room is the key."

Stone guessed.

"She was the only one who encountered strange events. Either she was special, or there was something wrong with the room she lived in."

As Lu Ban spoke, a bit of inspiration came to him.

"Speaking of which, how did Browning die? He looked so healthy and young, but he died suddenly."

"Like you said, the Heming Taoist didn't master the true art of immortality. He just made Browning's body look young. He didn't really regain his youth. Browning is still a 60-year-old man inside. He enjoys himself and indulges like a young man every day. His body will definitely not be able to bear it."

Stone inhaled the smoke from his pipe and chuckled.

"According to the doctor's diagnosis, Browning's body has been in very serious failure. His stomach, liver, and kidneys are almost scrapped. Such a condition is only seen in patients suffering from serious diseases."

"Why, do you think Browning's death has something to do with his family?"

Stone asked Lu Ban.

"Not really. I was wondering why Taoist Heming chose to let Browning die at this time."

Lu Ban murmured.

"No, you got one thing wrong. It was not Heming Taoist's will that made Browning die at this time, but because Browning died at this time, our mission was arranged until now."

Stone laughed.

"Our missions in the Silent Land were all deliberately arranged by those great gods. They will definitely let us arrive at the most suitable location at the best time."

"That's true."

Lu Ban nodded slightly and didn't continue to worry about it.

"God didn't let us check his room. What is he trying to hide?"

Stone raised new doubts.

"As Browning's business partner, he is not a member of Browning's family and has no say in the inheritance. He was only invited by Rum and others to attend the final farewell to the body. Now that he knows that there is an inheritance in Storm Mountain Villa, he may become greedy."

"But I think Gaode's suspicion may not be that great."

Lu Ban suddenly said.

"Why?"

Stone was puzzled.

"Because he is the most suspicious. Normally, the guy who behaves the most suspiciously at the beginning is usually not the mastermind in the end. He usually has other hidden secrets to disrupt the detective's sight, to throw smoke bombs, and to mislead the reasoning."

Lu Ban answered.

"Where did you get this theory from?"

Stone felt that what Lu Ban said seemed to make some sense, but also seemed to be complete nonsense.

“That’s what they say in detective novels.”

Lu Ban said as a matter of course.

“…”

Although Stone knew that Lu Ban sometimes had unfocused thoughts, he still underestimated the man in front of him after not seeing him for many years.

"Do you think there is a possibility that God knows Byron, or Byron is hiding in God's house now, and Byron deceived God, saying that he could control the resurrected Browning to a certain extent and transfer Browning's property and wealth to God, so he came along this time to gain benefits from it?"

Stone said, trying to change the subject.

"There is such a possibility. We can ask other people."

Lu Ban nodded.

"Okay, let's go find Emma first. I'll talk first, so don't talk nonsense."

Stone warned.

He now somewhat understood why Trist had such a complicated expression when he talked about his journey with Lu Ban.

"no problem."

The two men came to the reception room, where Rum and Emma were, with servants serving them. After briefly explaining their purpose, the two of them and Emma went to the next room. The study next to the reception room was usually used for private talks, and sometimes some romantic incidents would happen there.

"Please relax, Ms. Emma. We are just investigating Mr. Browning's legacy. I have a few questions for you..."

Stone had just taken out his notebook and his hands were barely warm when Lu Ban spoke directly.

"What do you think of Goder? Does he have any grudge against your father? Does he know Byron?"

"ah?"

The heavily made-up woman was questioned by Lu Ban.
