72 Each has a ghost

"What's wrong? Who is that old man?"

Chen Rui looked at an old man carrying a coffin in the distance and asked.

Although this old man has gray hair, he is tall and strong.

It can be seen that this guy pays great attention to maintenance and maintains it very well.

Although her face looks very old, her figure doesn't look old at all.

"This old man is Jasper."

Chen Rui couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

"How do you know?"

"Do you think my information checking these days was in vain?"

"In fact, ever since I saw this guy's name in Tyron's diary, I started looking up this guy's information."

Chen Rui looked at Karen, and she looked over with a slightly proud look in her eyes.

"you are awesome!"

Chen Rui praised her, and Karen immediately smiled like a flower.

The emotions of foreigners are so simple.

However, the banter between the two also caused discomfort to the people around them.

Several adults and aunties nearby couldn't help but cast strange looks at them.

Only then did the two of them remember that they were here to attend a funeral.

He quickly put away his smile and stopped talking.

The funeral ended quickly, but Tyron's son stood up.

Invite everyone to his father's house, where there is also a buffet.

Here in the United States, it is also customary to treat guests to dinner after the event.

But unlike us, they usually don't go to restaurants, they just stay at home.

The host prepares some food himself, and other meals are brought by relatives and friends.

Mostly cakes, snacks and the like.

The two of them followed directly without thinking much.

Tyron's house is not far from this cemetery and is also in the Bay Area.

It is located on a hill facing the Pacific Ocean. It is not a luxury house, but it is also a high-end community with a good environment.

When they arrived, the house was already crowded with about a hundred people.

These people are not only Tai Lun's relatives and friends, but many of them are here specifically to participate in the upcoming family auction.

Relatives and friends also knew what was going to happen next, so they didn't enter the house.

Outside the house, there is a large lawn.

Tai Lun's family set up an awning on the lawn and set up several tables with snacks and pastries.

Relatives and friends attending the memorial can come here to reminisce and chat.

People who come to participate in the home auction go directly into the house to see what they like.

Neither side bothered each other.

Chen Rui and Karen entered the house directly.

The house is a two-story house, and the living room on the first floor is very large, more than fifty square meters.

The sofa and coffee table in the living room were moved out, and several long tables were placed.

It was filled with various things for sale, including books, small ornaments, tea sets, and tools such as hand drills and hammers.

Chen Rui glanced at these things and shook his head.

These lots were much worse than the previous home auction he participated in in Los Angeles.

Nothing good at all.

However, this is also consistent with Tai Lun's identity. After all, he was just an agent during his lifetime, not a rich man.

But Chen Rui soon remembered the purpose of his visit.

He didn't really come here for the auction this time, he came here for the map.

He pretended to walk around the living room, but he didn't find any valuable treasures.

Not to mention the fifty hand-drawn drawings Alves mentioned.

It does not appear in the auction items at all.

He installed one on the first floor and looked for a bathroom, so he secretly moved around a few rooms.

I scanned those rooms and found nothing.

He wondered if it was Tai Lun's family who moved all his important belongings to the second floor?

He raised his head and glanced outside the door. Tai Lun's family members were socializing with relatives and friends on the lawn.

He winked at Karen and then quietly walked up to the second floor.

There are three bedrooms and a study room on the second floor, and there is no one on the entire floor.

He hurried straight to the three bedrooms and glanced around, but he didn't find any jewels.

It seems that the hand-drawn drawing is not hidden in my room. Could it be hidden in the study?

Just as he was about to go to the study, he didn't expect the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.

His heart moved and he hurriedly hid in the closet of a bedroom.

Then I heard a rush of footsteps passing by the bedroom door, and then I heard the man breaking into the study.

There was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the study. It was obvious that someone was searching for something.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps downstairs.

There was a pause in the sound in the study room next door, and then the people inside quickly came out and rushed directly into the adjacent bathroom.

"Anko Sam? Are you upstairs?"

A man's voice came from the stairs, and Chen Rui remembered it clearly.

The voice was that of Tai Lun's son, and then there was a rushing sound of water flushing from the toilet next to him.

The door opened and a loud voice came out.

"Sorry Alan, the toilet downstairs was occupied just now, so I used the toilet upstairs."

"You don't mind, do you?"

"Ha, how could it be? Sam, they are waiting for you to give a speech..."

The voices of the two people gradually faded away, and Chen Rui got out of the closet.

He looked towards the stairs and saw that it was Tyron's sons, Alan and Jasper, arms around each other.

Although these two people seemed very close, Chen Rui knew that they both had their own agenda.

Neither the old nor the young are fuel-efficient!

Chen Rui turned around and got into Tai Lun's study. The study had obviously been rummaged through.

Then Jasper probably didn't find what he was looking for.

Chen Rui stood at the door and glanced around, but didn't find any jewels.

Is it possible that Tai Lun didn't hide the drawing here?

Or did he not have those hand drawings at all?

No, he must have it. If not, then Jasper wouldn't have secretly come up to look for it.

But since the rumor was true, Tai Lun snatched fifty hand-drawn drawings from Jasper.

So where would he hide the map?

At this moment, he looked up at the roof, and suddenly he saw a faint yellow light coming through the gap between the roof slabs.

A thought crossed his mind, could the treasure be hidden on the roof? This is indeed a place that is not easily noticed.

But when he looked at the roof, he felt worried because the roof was very high and he had to find a ladder to get up.

But this is inside a house, and a lot of people are still outside. Where do you want him to go to find a ladder?

Just when he was so worried, his phone suddenly vibrated and he picked it up to take a look.

It was Karen who urged him to come down quickly, as the auction downstairs was about to begin.

Although Chen Rui was unwilling, he could only quickly go downstairs. Karen covered him and walked out of the stairs.

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

Chen Rui shook his head.

At this time, Tyron's son Allen came to the living room with a wine glass. He picked up a fork and tapped the wine glass in his hand.

"ding ding ding"

"Gentlemen and ladies, first of all, thank you all for coming to my father's memorial service."
