The man's appearance was a bit weathered. Lu Tan didn't recognize him, and he obviously didn't recognize Lu Tan and the others either.
"Are you Byron?"
Stone kept his distance from the opponent, still aiming his revolver at Byron.
"Yes, I am Byron. I am responsible for handling Mr. Browning's spiritual night, and I am the one who was invited."
The other party said, staring at the black muzzle of Stone's gun, raising his hands in the air, performing a French military salute.
"Why are you hiding in the barrel?"
Shia asked directly.
"I don't know either. I originally took a car to get here, fell asleep halfway, and when I woke up, I was trapped in a wine barrel. No matter how much I screamed, no one responded. Until you guys showed up, it was really great."
Byron smiled, his teeth were white, in sharp contrast to his appearance.
Hearing that this was obviously nonsense, Stone glanced at Lu Tan and Shia.
"According to my search, Gothe's internal organs are inside his body."
"What? Mr. Gothe?"
Byron was puzzled and asked with a confused look on his face.
"How is it possible inside my body?"
"Are you the descendant of Taoist Heming?"
Stone was ready to pull the trigger. To be honest, he didn't expect to find Byron so quickly. Logically speaking, this should be the culprit. If you want to complete the task, the easiest way is
Just try to find a way to kill Byron. Without the descendant of Taoist Heming, there will be no way to talk about the soul-calling night. On the ninth day, the task will be completed automatically, happily.
"It's, uh, no, no, no, I don't count. As you know, Taoist Heming's affairs are taboo. I've only had some superficial contact with him and know some tricks. In fact, I'm just a master.
Mr. De hired me to act together."
Byron hurriedly explained and took out a few pieces of paper from his slightly worn clothes.
"Mr. Gothe said, let me pretend to be a disciple of Taoist Heming and perform the ritual of Soul Calling Night. On the last day, I will use the tricks I have mastered to present Mr. Browning's last words so that his children can deal with them easily.
If he successfully takes over this villa, he will give me a large sum of money."
Lu Jian took the pieces of paper. Although there was nothing on the paper, Lu Jian could tell that there were some special marks on it. As long as it was dipped in a special solvent, the words would appear. This was a classic feudal trick.
"Isn't he afraid that you will be exposed?"
Shia frowned slightly and asked.
She did not feel threatened by the man in front of her. At least according to the mage's intuition, he was not as dangerous as a jackal.
"Mr. Gao De said that he would agree with me and be my trustee. Moreover, although I am just a charlatan, I have really inherited part of Taoist Heming's mantle, such as this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Byron snapped his fingers.
Sparks flashed at his fingertips. Although it was only for a moment, it was definitely not something ordinary people could do.
"I found a page of Taoist Heming's writings, which recorded a few simple spells. I tried it and learned it quickly. It was through this that I was able to cooperate with Mr. Gao De."
"When was the last time you saw Gothe?"
Stone put his left hand into the pocket of his double-breasted coat and slowly held the magnifying glass.
Countless gibberings penetrated Stone's mind. Because he had experienced similar situations many times, he was able to isolate them from consciousness.
Extraordinary power covered his brain like a spider web, and at the same time, Stone peered into Byron's mind in front of him like a spider ready to attack.
"Before coming, he prepared clothes for me and told me some things to pay attention to. Then he left in the car first. According to Mr. Gaude, we can't arrive at the same time."
Byron said very sincerely and looked at the muzzle of Stone's revolver again.
"Brother, can you put this thing down first? I feel a little guilty."
Gu Shao
Stone put the revolver back and asked again.
"You said you were put into a bucket after falling asleep and kept calling for help. Why didn't you respond just now?"
When the three of them walked into the wine cellar, it was obvious that Byron made no sound.
"People get tired. I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep again. No, if it hadn't been for the movement just now, I might not have woken up yet."
Byron said with a playful smile, wanting to take a step forward, but seeing Siya's expression on the side, he stood back to his original position obediently.
"Gothe is dead."
Lu Tiao suddenly spoke, causing Stone to look at his companions.
Originally, Stone didn't plan to tell Byron the news of Gold's death. He wanted to use it as a benchmark to make excuses and see if Byron would reveal any flaws or flaws, but he didn't expect Lu Tian to leak the information directly.
"What? Mr. Gothe is dead?"
Byron looked stunned. He looked at the three people one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Jian, who told him the news.
"Really, wait, why did Mr. Gothe die? Isn't this an ordinary funeral?"
Lu Tan was very serious at this time and patted Byron on the shoulder quite seriously.
"Actually, it was you who killed Mr. Gothe. We think you may have a dual personality. When you were unconscious, you killed Mr. Gothe and hid here. The three of us are detectives. I hope you
Can cooperate with our investigation."
"???"
Byron was in disbelief.
"I? Dual personality? I killed Mr. Gothe? Are you kidding me?"
"No, Mr. Byron, we are professional detectives and we will not joke. According to some special investigation techniques, we found that you swallowed Mr. Gothe's internal organs. We followed the trajectory of the internal organs and found this place."
Lu Tan said without thinking.
When Byron heard this, his eyes widened.
"What did you say? I swallowed...vomited..."
He seemed to feel a surge in his throat, retched twice, and coughed hard, as if he wanted to vomit out the contents of his stomach.
Looking at Byron's appearance, the three of them looked at each other.
"Gothe's internal organs are indeed in his body."
Stone said simply.
"But what he said was not a lie. I could see what he had experienced in his words."
"We now have two options."
Shia raised two fingers.
"The first one is to get rid of him directly. He may be a mimic of a sludge monster, or he may really be an innocent scapegoat, but as long as we kill him first, our problem will obviously be much simpler."
"Second, keep him and ask for more information. He may really be imprisoned here for some special reason, and he may even be the key to solving the problem."
After hearing Sia's words, Byron immediately raised his hands.
"Please wait, I said, I said, I said everything, I really did not kill Gothe, nor did I eat him! I am innocent!"
