The next day.

It was just dawn, and Catelyn, who had been unable to endure the battle last night and begged for mercy, struggled to wake up.

As a nurse, she had just got a good job and needed to take care of a patient with advanced cancer and paralysis due to a stroke who had only one month left to live. She had to drive more than an hour to the parish of Turbonne.

In order to avoid being late, she had to get up early.

After a shower, Catelyn said goodbye to Robb, who was awakened, in a hoarse voice, and gave him a sweet kiss, and then left leisurely.

She was very satisfied last night, and both parties left contact information for the future.

The door closed, and Robb got up and checked the time. It was still early.

Matthew was probably still sleeping.

So he lay down again and took a nap.

Until 10 o'clock in the morning.

At this time, everyone who should go to work went to work.

Robb drove to Matthew's house.

Ding Dong.

The doorbell rang.

There was no movement in the house.

Robb looked around and saw that there were no cameras, so he directly extended his index finger and inserted it into the lock core.

Huh~~

The flame ignited from his finger.

In a short time, the surrounding lock cores were burned.

Robb took out the white gloves again, put them on his palms familiarly, turned the door handle, and pushed the door open easily.

He looked inside the house.

The lawyer profession is very popular in America and the income is very high.

Matthew, who has not yet married and does not have to worry about cars, houses, children, and wives, seems to be living a good life.

He has good taste and is not as nouveau riche as the gangster boss Okuk.

After some observation, Robb first came to the living room and did not find anything useful. When he was about to go straight to the study, his cell phone rang suddenly.

He took it out and took a look. It was Catherine who had just left not long ago.

Robb, who did not look like a thief at all, answered the phone and walked towards the study, asking: "Catlin, is there something wrong?"

"Robb, I need your help." Catlin, who had just been promoted to a close friend, did not say anything polite.

"Oh? Did something happen?"

"Yes. My employer, Lady Violet, is a very superstitious person. She firmly believes that there are ghosts in the house and has never dared to hang a mirror. And the person I take care of, Ben, he can't speak and it's difficult to move, but like his wife, he is very afraid of mirrors. I tried to let him look in the mirror today, and he looked very excited and hesitated. Perhaps, like Violet, he thinks that the reason he became like this was not caused by a stroke, but by a curse from the devil."

"So, do you really think he was cursed by the devil?" Robb pushed open the door of the study and responded with a smile.

Catelyn quickly denied: "No! It's Ben who thinks so. Robb, have you heard of psychotherapy? Many patients get better, largely because of their belief in themselves. Ben believes in witchcraft, so Robb, as an expert in this field, I hope you can come over and do an exorcism ceremony or something, so that Ben can feel at ease."

Jill had introduced the voodoo shop to her before.

If she hadn't met Robb, Catelyn would most likely go to the voodoo shop, consult the boss, buy a bunch of materials and spells, and come back to cast a spell on Ben in person.

But after witnessing Robb's magic with her own eyes, she had a better choice.

Walking into the study, Robb, who was flipping through the bookshelf casually, listened to Catelyn's story, was silent for a while, and organized his words and said: "Catelyn, don't you think you are too... enthusiastic?"

No matter whether the so-called ghosts and witchcraft are true or not.

As a nurse, Catelyn's duty is to accompany the patient in the last time and let him go on the road with peace of mind.

The family members are not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry as a nurse?

Witchcraft and exorcism, it's so troublesome, people who don't know would think Ben is your father.

"I... just want to help. Maybe Ben's condition will get better. Maybe not, but he can leave with more peace of mind." Catelyn explained.

Robb shook his head.

Woman!

You know, if you are put into a Hollywood movie, you are definitely a typical representative of looking for trouble and seeking death.

"Okay. For your sake, I will go once later." Robb doesn't mind doing Catelyn a favor for something that can be done easily.

Catelyn expressed her gratitude with joy.

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Robb's sudden and urgent voice:

"That's it, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first. I'll go to your place later."

Robb, who had made a discovery, quickly hung up the phone.

Coming to the desk, his eyes swept across the photo of Matthew and Susan, and Robb looked at the three books on the table that Matthew had obviously just flipped through.

"BeginnersLaw Encyclopedia, Introduction to Wills and Trusts, and Real Estate Law.

Robb frowned.

There is a problem!

As Matthew has passed the bar exam for many years and has a good reputation in the New Orleans lawyer circle, he should not read such a basic law book.

It's like a college student going back to read the rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

It makes people feel absurd and weird.

Robb is not the kind of person who doesn't want to believe the evidence in front of him.

Even if the so-called evidence is not sufficient, for example, Matthew may just want to flip through the book to recall his past experiences.

But he is more willing to respond with the greatest suspicion.

Is it true that Matthew is no longer the original Matthew as Susan said?

But through the spiritual vision, he is indeed a living person, not a monster.

So what is the problem?

Robb flipped through the three books on the table.

Suddenly!

Several photos under the last book caught his attention.

He is very familiar with the people in the photos.

It was Catelyn who was honest with him last night and saw everything!

Why did Catelyn's photo appear here with Matthew?

Judging from the angle, it was obviously a candid photo.

A peeping Tom? A rapist ready to take action at any time?

Robb thought of these at the first time.

After all, there are too many scums in this world who are beasts in human clothing.

After that, he quickly flipped through the drawers.

First, he found a golden ring with three snakes.

After taking a casual look, Robb found that it did not look like a modern craft, so he threw it on the table and continued to look for it.

He found a document.

When he opened it, it turned out to be Catelyn's employment contract for the last month of Ben's care, and the person responsible for drafting the contract was Matthew.

Robb did not expect that the woman he had a one-night stand with last night would be involved in his investigation mission.

He looked at the employment documents, and then looked at the three elementary law books, a large number of photos of Catelyn, and the three snake ring that did not look like a machine craft.

At this moment, he recalled a series of clues and memories from before.

Susan thought her boyfriend had completely changed; Matthew, who read elementary law books, changed his temperament, and spied on Katrin; Katrin, who took over the job of caring for the dying old man, either by coincidence or on purpose; Violet, who seemed superstitious and didn't want to hang a mirror at home; Ben, who thought he was cursed and was waiting to die in pain.

All these people were connected together.

To understand everything, there was only one last opportunity left.
