Chapter 625 624. Tempest Villa

  Emma's makeup was a little flowery, making her whole person look very haggard. She burst into the restaurant hysterically and howled.

   "It's too dangerous here, I want to get out of here immediately, but there are dead people, my God. Uh, what are you doing?"

   She noticed the three people eating in large chunks, and their expressions suddenly froze.

   "Of course I'm eating."

   Rikukan replied as a matter of course, and pushed the plate beside him.

   "Are you going to have a couple too?"

".No."

   Emma was stunned for a moment by Lu Bian's reason, and then asked.

   "How can you still eat, there are already dead people, maybe there really is some monster in this room, you will be the next one to die!"

   She looked at every corner of the room worriedly, for fear that some monster would suddenly climb out of the corner and devour herself alive.

   "If you don't have enough food, you won't have the strength to investigate the case, and we can't leave now."

  Stone put the cut steak into his mouth and pointed to the furious storm outside the restaurant.

   "The road down the mountain has been washed away by mudslides, and even the wires and telephones have been cut off. Didn't you realize that there are no lights now, only candles?"

   Being reminded by Stone's words, Emma hurriedly looked out the window.

It was already night, and it was pitch black outside the window. All I could see was the swaying trees nearby. The road that was washed away by the mudslides in the distance was already hidden in the night. She didn't see it with her own eyes, and she didn't quite believe it. Going to the telephone in the dining room, she picked up the receiver. It wasn't until there was silence on the other side of the phone that Emma finally accepted this fact.

   "We really can't get out?"

   Emma asked Stone, the initial aggressive momentum has disappeared, only weak, pitiful, and helpless.

"Don't worry, Ms. Emma, ​​I have an agreement with Sheriff Holler. If I don't contact him regularly, the Sheriff will take people up the mountain. If there is no accident, we will meet the respectable and responsible person tomorrow morning. Sheriff."

   Stone replied that he had finished his meal and was wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

   "Really? That would be great."

  Emma suddenly felt relieved again. She didn't seem to be as resistant to the arrival of the police as Rum was, but was excited because she was about to be free.

   "But with such a heavy rain, how did the sheriff and the others come here?"

   The lady looked out the window worriedly and asked.

"do not worry."

  Stone didn't seem to care about the storm outside the window.

   Seeing this, Emma didn't ask any further questions. Since everyone didn't seem to be in a panic, wouldn't it be uncivilized if she was anxious like an ant on a hot pan here alone?

   She didn't see the body with her own eyes, but only heard the notice from the servant, so she was not as lost as Rum.

Rum glanced at his sister, and there was a feeling that the family could only rely on him. The picture of Gothe's body just now made him unforgettable. As soon as he closed his eyes, the hollowed out abdomen would appear. De's twisted grim expression.

   Even he would see his stomach being torn apart by the indescribable monster, tearing open his stomach with his yellowed teeth, tearing out his intestines and devouring the clean picture.

  No, I shouldn't be like this.

  Rum felt a little strange.

He was very calm when he was dealing with affairs at the company at home, but after seeing Gothe's body, he couldn't calm down. .

   It was as if he had become an emotional marionette, dominated by fear and timidity, and became unlike himself.

   At this moment, Rum also felt that someone was whispering in his ear. The whispering made him feel anxious, and the fear in his heart gradually dominated his will, making him impulsive and irritable, lacking calm thinking.

   "They just want to rob you of your property, which should only belong to you!"

   "Look at that detective, he covets your father's legacy, you must get rid of them ASAP!"

   "That stupid woman, she will only give money to those little white faces, you must drive her out of the house!"

   "That guy with developed limbs and a simple mind is the best when he is dead. He deserves it, he deserves it the most!"

   "You have to find that thing before the police come, and you have to find that thing before that madman comes."

  These ravings echoed in Rum's ears, and the voice was like his own voice, repeated over and over again, etched into his mind, as if he would break his spirit if he didn't.

   This feeling is weird, but everything seems to be taken for granted.

   He could only think that his own greedy desires had taken over reason.

  Rum is afraid of Stone's pistol, he doesn't know what to do now, he can't kill them before the police arrive tomorrow, right?

  No no no, what am I thinking?

  Rum turned his face away, he felt really weird.

   "Where's Ms. Lily?"

   Stone asked suddenly.

   "She doesn't feel well. She rested in the room. There is a maid to look after her. Don't worry."

   said the old butler.

   "Master Byron doesn't seem to be able to come. We'd better live in a similar room tonight. If there is any problem, we can take care of each other."

   Stone said.

"what is the problem?"

  Emma didn't react for a while.

"It was the murderer, Ms. Emma, ​​who killed Mr. Gothe, whether it was a person or a monster, it must still be in this villa now, and no one can guarantee that he came only to kill Mr. Gothe, according to my speculation , his goal should be the heritage of Daoist Heming, because I found that Mr. Gaode holds books related to Daoist Heming."

  Stone showed the "Heming Pen Talk" in his hand.

"At least Mr. Gothe didn't come simply to remember Mr. Browning. He once sold the house to Mr. Browning as an intermediary. He should also know about the Taoist Heming. This time, he came to Rainstorm Villa just to share a cup. soup."

   "He actually"

  Rum looked in disbelief.

   Emma, ​​on the other hand, didn't have much emotion for what Stone said. She was just a little dazed and a little scared and scared. She sat on the sofa with a wine glass in her hand, and didn't drink the red wine in the glass.

   A few people stayed in the restaurant until the night. Emma couldn't stand it at first. She yawned and was led by the old housekeeper to the next room to rest.

  Rum smoked two cigarettes, he hesitated, and finally left the restaurant.

   Apart from the servants, there are only three God-chosen ones left.

   The storm was still raging outside the window. Stone lit the tobacco leaves in his pipe. He looked out the window deeply. In the forest reflected by the lightning and thunder, there seemed to be a shadow about to move.

   "Speaking of which, with the current weather conditions, can the police really come?"

   Lu Kan asked in a low voice curiously.

   "Of course not."

   Stone answered rightly.

   "I lied to them all."
