I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"But these servants, they have lived here for many years, and the housekeeper, they have not encountered any danger, so what?"

Rum asked back.

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

Stone looked around the room and said seriously. .

His words made both Emma and Rum tremble slightly, and they looked suspiciously at every corner of the room, for fear 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 your room first to make sure there is no problem."

Stone said again.

It is obviously impossible for everyone to sleep in Lily's room, and these people will not agree, and everyone will eventually return to their own rooms, so Stone will use this as a reason to check the rooms of these people first, to be sure The relics of Taoist Heming are not in their house.

"That's fine."

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

Emma didn't object either, only Gothe, Browning's friend, rejected Stone.

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

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

Stone was not persistent. He and Lu Jian checked the house of Rum and Emma. The two of them don't usually live here. The house is very tidy and there are no clues.

"Maybe Lily's room is the key."

Stone guessed.

"Only she encountered a strange incident, either she was special, or there was something wrong with the room she lived in."

As Lu Jian said, a little inspiration emerged.

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

"As you said, what Taoist Heming mastered is not the real longevity technique, but to make Browning's body look young, and he is not really rejuvenated. Browning is still a 60-year-old inside Old man, he enjoys himself like a young man every day, indulges in lust, and his body will definitely not be able to support it."

Stone took a breath of the mist in the pipe and chuckled lightly.

"According to the doctor's diagnosis, Browning's body is already in serious failure. His stomach, liver, and kidneys are close to useless. They can only see such a condition in patients who have suffered from serious diseases. "

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

Stone asked Lu Jian.

Gu Jia

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

Lu Jian murmured.

"No, you made a mistake. It wasn't Taoist Heming's will that Browning died at this time, but because Browning died at this time, our mission was arranged until now."

Stone laughed.

"Our tasks in the Quiet Place are deliberately arranged by those great gods, and they will definitely let us arrive at the most suitable position at the best time."

"That's true."

Lu Jian nodded slightly and did not continue to struggle.

"Gothe 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 matter of inheriting the inheritance. He was only invited by Rum and others to participate in the final farewell. When a Rainstorm Villa has an inheritance, it may be greedy."

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

Lu Jian said suddenly.

"why?"

Stone was puzzled.

"Because he is the most suspicious. Generally speaking, the guy who behaves the most suspicious at the beginning is usually not the final mastermind. He usually has other secrets to disturb the detective's sight, play smoke bombs, and mislead reasoning."

Lu Bian replied.

"Where did you get this theory from?"

Stone felt that what Lu Jian said seemed to make sense, but also seemed to be talking nonsense.

"That's what's written in detective novels."

Lu Jian said it as a matter of course.

""

Although Stone knew before that Lu Lian sometimes lost his mind, but he hadn't seen him for many years, and he still underestimated the man in front of him.

"Do you think there is a possibility that Gothe knows Byron, or that Byron is hiding in Gothe's house now, and Byron deceives Gothe, saying that he can control the resurrected Browning to a certain extent, and he can control Bo Ronning's property and wealth were transferred to Gothe, so he came with him this time, wanting to profit from it?"

To change the subject, Stone said.

"There is such a possibility, we can ask other people."

Lu Jian nodded.

"Alright then, let's go to Emma first, I'll talk first later, don't talk nonsense if you're fine."

Stone exhorted.

He now somewhat understands why Drizzt showed that complicated expression when he talked about the journey with Lu Lian back then.

"no problem."

The two came to the living room. Rum and Emma were here, and there were servants beside them. After briefly explaining their purpose, the two of them and Emma went to the next room. The study next to the living room is usually used For private talks, sometimes some romantic incidents will happen.

"Please relax, Ms. Emma, ​​we are just to better investigate Mr. Browning's legacy, I have a few questions for you"

Just as Stone took out his notebook, before his hands were warm, Lu Lian spoke directly.

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

"what?"

The woman with heavy makeup was questioned by Lu Jian.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===620. An embarrassing yet polite smile===

Faced with Lu Jian's question, Emma was in a daze.

Didn't they agree to investigate the pollution of father's villa?

Why did you ask about Gothe?

This Gothe has nothing to do with his father's inheritance, what is he doing?

This detective is quite handsome, but he is not professional at all.

Looking at Lu Juan suspiciously, Ms. Emma had some doubts about Lu Juan.

On the side, Stone looked at Lu Jian, but couldn't hold back.

"Ahem, he's just a little curious. We still want to ask about your relationship with your father first. Has he said anything or done anything that impressed you in recent years?"

Stone cleared his throat and asked.

"My relationship with my father is not that good. He always follows the rules, has his own way of doing things, and is never willing to deviate from his plan. It's like a precise wall clock that always chimes at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. , even though it made him a huge success in business, my dad was a really boring guy, if you ask me.”

Emma seemed to have been opened up and chattered.

"So, if you want me to say what impressive things he has done, I really can't remember it for a while, because he is such a person who has been like a day for ten years."

Having said that, Emma glanced at Lu Yi, and was inspired again.

"Speaking of which, it's not completely absent. It was very strange that he bought this villa at the time. My father has never been interested in real estate. The house he has lived in has been for decades, and he only renovates it every once in a while. His material desires are not very high, and he has little taste in drinking and smoking. Since his mother died, he has not found other women, er, at least not in my knowledge, so he bought this place, collected those terrible paintings, and With a lover, it puzzles me."

Emma was still nagging.

"I don't know exactly how my father bought this place, but he quickly moved here from the old house where he lived for decades, and began to collect some strange things, including novels of the ancient capital. , those paintings, some antiques and treasures, and even a lover, God, does he know how old he is?"

"What Miss Emma means is that Mr. Browning changed before he bought this mansion. He just bought it, and after moving here, he made some moves that didn't happen before?"

Stone asked while writing down in a small notebook with a pen.

"Ah, yes, yes, it is like this. If you want me to say, it may be the problem of Gao De. He and my father have known each other for more than ten years. My father has changed a lot. By the way, this villa seems to be Gao De. Someone from Germany introduced to sell it to my father..."

Emma seemed to recall something, and said again.

"He introduced it?"

Stone stopped writing and took a serious look at Emma.

"you sure?"

"Yes, that's it. I remembered that Gothe lost money in some speculative business. Then he found my father and introduced this property. He took a part of the commission from it. If it wasn't for Gothe, my father would also Would not buy here."

Emma suddenly gritted her teeth. She clenched her hands into fists, and the veins on the back of her hands could be seen clearly.

"Maybe that woman was also introduced by Gothe to my father. How could he be like this? My father treats him so well, and he actually wants to murder our family property"

"Please calm down, Miss Emma."

Stone gently held the other person's hand to calm her down. Emma glanced at Stone and showed an ambiguous smile.

"You are very kind, Mr. Stone. I have met many people, but they have not been a real gentleman like you."

Gu Zou

She almost gave Stone a room card, and then said don't come to my room tonight to take you to experience the fun of the rich woman.

Stone still maintained that kind smile, and then said.

"Then let's talk about Mr. Gothe? What kind of person is he, how did he meet your father, did he mention Master Byron?"
