After sending Emma away, Stone glanced at Lu Jian.
Rather than saying that Lu Jian was here to help him investigate, it would be better to say that Lu Jian was here to make things more difficult for him.
Lu Tiao was always talking about what should and should not be said. Although Stone had known Lu Tian before and was mentally prepared for this, he was still a little overwhelmed.
Think about how much trouble Drizzt and Lu Tan had to suffer when they acted together in the past.
After confirming the words in the notebook again, Stone exhaled and resisted the idea of taking out his pipe.
"Ms. Emma has a fairly clear understanding of Gothe's identity, which shows that Gothe didn't hide much. He came into contact with the previous owner of this villa and acted as a middleman to help Browning buy the place. He was also Browning's
A partner who is responsible for handling some underground work."
"At the same time, Ms. Emma has a bad attitude towards Lily. She does not think that this little girl can really pose a threat to herself, and even wants to expel her. This is also a normal reaction."
"Ms. Emma's understanding of Taoist Heming is limited to legends and anecdotal stories, and she doesn't know Master Byron. To this lady, the Night of Souls is just a backward custom. She doesn't think her father is really
If she can be resurrected, in fact, as long as her quality of life is not reduced in the future, it doesn't matter who inherits the family business."
After summarizing the content of the interview just now, Stone underlined some sentences on his notes.
"Gothe knew the previous owner of Stormwater Villas. If it hadn't been for the failure of his speculation business, maybe he would have bought the place himself and sold it to Browning. It should be a last resort, at least in this way.
It should be within my sight."
"The Spiritual Night is the content of Browning's previous will. This will is kept by his lawyer. After Browning's death, Gothe had obvious reasons to take the villa back to his own hands."
"As for the relationship between Byron and Gothe, Ms. Emma does not know."
He felt that he had vaguely missed something, but after careful inspection of Emma's testimony, Stone did not gain much.
"Next, let's ask Rum. He is the first heir and is responsible for Browning's company. After Browning's death, he should also inherit the company."
"I think we should ask Gothe directly?"
Lu Tan suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Stone thought he hadn't heard clearly, so he asked a question.
"Look, even Emma, who usually doesn't pay attention to business, knows that Gothe bought this house. Don't you think his operation is very rough?"
Lu Jian said.
"Everything he did was fair and above board, and even the suspicions were obvious. I thought it would be better to ask him directly how this house came to be, and whether he knew that Taoist Heming's affairs were simpler, and
, the two of us should be more than defeated by him, right?"
".What you said makes sense."
Stone felt that although Lu Tiao's words sounded ridiculous, they actually made sense.
If Gothe has no problem, then asking him directly may be able to get more information about this villa and Taoist Heming. If Gothe has a problem, then solve the problem.
Thinking of this, Stone suddenly understood how Lu Jian and the other experienced Chosen Ones accomplished their missions.
Since he was in a foreign land where he was, Stone subconsciously followed the method of handling cases to conduct the investigation.
Detectives investigating cases are similar to police officers, but the most important thing is not to disrupt the status quo. After all, they will meet again in the future, so Stone will not do many things. If Gothe's suspicion can be confirmed by circumstantial evidence, then Stone will
I definitely wouldn't ask him directly.
But Lu Jian is different. The Chosen Ones come to a foreign land as suddenly as a storm, and then suddenly disappear. They can investigate destructively, and even directly find Taoist Heming as Lu Jian and Shia said at the beginning.
Pass to Byron, then get rid of him and leave to finish the job.
Even Stone himself admits that the method of the Chosen One sometimes works quite well.
Having made a decision, the two of them did not hesitate and prepared to knock on Gaode's door.
It was already evening, night was falling, but the storm outside the window showed no signs of weakening.
The corridor near the outside of Storm Mountain Villa is truly facing the storm.
The old glass was blown by the rain and wind, making a loud ticking sound. The strong wind blew the gaps between the windows, causing the dull sound of bang bang bang to come from the building that had been in disrepair for a long time. It made people feel nervous and fearful.
The next moment, the raging thunderstorm will break through the window and sweep through the entire corridor.
The weird paintings of monsters on the road exaggerated this terrifying atmosphere. Whenever thunder exploded, lightning illuminated the dim corridor lit only by candlelight, turning those paintings of hounds full of tentacles into the shadows.
The withered hands and the oil paintings of bloody corpses stand out. Just walking on this road makes people tremble with fear, fearing that some weird and dangerous monsters will emerge from those corners and gaps.
Lu Jian and Stone were walking on this road, and their shadows were projected on the wall from time to time, dragging very long.
They arrived at the door of Gothe's room.
"Are you coming?"
Stone looked at Lu Jian.
This kind of social terrorist is most suitable for dealing with people. Not only will he not be embarrassed, but he will also embarrass the other person. When people are embarrassed, they will make some actions that they would not normally do, which may reveal some information.
Pretty good.
"no problem."
Lu Tiao knocked on the door and said hello.
There was no response from inside the door.
"He's not in now?"
Lu Tan looked at Stone.
"The servants said he should have been in the room ever since."
While Stone was confused, he took out the revolver in the holster under his arm, ready to pull the trigger at any time.
Lu Tiao glanced at the weapon in Stone's hand. It was not Drizzt's [Fake Sun Flame], it was just an ordinary revolver.
"In detective novels, something will happen to Gao De in this situation."
Lu Tiao said, he turned the door handle and found that it was locked from the inside.
"It's still a secret room."
"I'll do it."
Stone opened his eyes and was about to shoot and break the lock, but Lu Tiao stopped him.
"Don't worry."
As Lu Tan spoke, his hand dripped a few drops of flesh-like sludge. The sludge soon seemed to have its own consciousness and got into the house from under the door.
Soon, Lu Jian's whole body seemed to melt, turning into a pool of flesh and blood, flowing into the house through the crack in the door, and forming a human form again.
Only then did Lu Tian see the situation in the house.
The first thing he saw was Gaode.
Unfortunately, Lu Jian and Stone did not have the opportunity to ask Gaode.
This burly man was lying on his bed. He was only wearing a bathrobe, his limbs were spread out, his face was full of fear and astonishment, his abdomen was opened, and the internal organs inside were missing.
Flying, as if it had been eaten by some wild beast.
