The storm is getting bigger and bigger. Under the bursts of thunder, Stone's face is hidden in the darkness and suddenly lights up. Outside the window, the sound of torrents bursts from the cliff. The turbid filth washes away the trees, causing the animals in the forest to
It was difficult to escape the disaster. The cold rain slapped on the glass, making a terrifying and huge impact sound, as if the next moment, the raindrops would turn into hail, smash the glass, and bring the chill into the corridor.
It is absolutely impossible to sleep peacefully in such weather.
In the room, Lily curled up on the bed. She didn't fall asleep. Ever since she learned about Gothe's death, Lily felt very scared. She couldn't control this trembling feeling at all. The fear in her heart was infinitely amplified, making her unable to even do the most basic things.
Even thinking can't do it.
Boom——
A bolt of lightning exploded in the sky, and Lily hurriedly covered her ears and huddled up. She felt a dryness in her throat and nausea, and it was as if there was something alive in her stomach, trying to crawl out of her mouth.
Resisting the urge to vomit, Lily's eyes were bloodshot, her muscles were spasming, and she was so fearful that she could no longer feel the pain.
Dong dong dong——
There was a knock on the door, but Lily couldn't hear it at all. She just wanted to find a hole to hide in this stormy night.
Dong dong dong——
The knocking on the door continued, accompanied by some calls.
Those calls penetrated into Lily's ears and turned into low murmurs.
"They want to kill you. You are a threat to them. Think about Gothe, they can do it!"
"The Brownings are not good people. Recall how you became what you are now. You should have had a better future."
"Strike before they do it, or you will be the one who dies!"
"You can't do anything, you can only die humbly in this room!"
These murmurs echoed in layers in Lily's ears, making her unable to think and influencing her will.
Dong dong dong——
This time the knock on the door was louder, and even Lily couldn't ignore it.
She looked in the direction of the door in horror, and leaned back involuntarily. She didn't feel a little safer until her back touched the hard head of the bed.
A bolt of thunder struck, and Lily covered her ears again. Vomiting surged into her throat, and she felt dizzy.
Suddenly, all the sounds disappeared.
Just like in a classroom without a teacher, when the students are whispering to each other, suddenly everyone suddenly becomes quiet at a certain moment, a strange silence.
Lily didn't react at first, but when she felt quiet, another wave of noise had already exploded.
Bang——
Lily saw the door to her room being suddenly opened. The heavy wooden door was as fragile as paper. She even thought that some legendary giant had broken into her room.
But that's not a giant.
Lily saw a woman in a cloak dusting off her hands and walking into the house.
"It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it."
Shia grabbed the door that was blown away and fell to the side, and put it back to its original position.
Of course, since the latch has been completely damaged, the door cannot be installed intact.
Therefore, the door is just placed there.
"I thought something had happened to you, but you looked frightened."
Shia didn't have the slightest idea of pity for her. She came to Lily and directly picked up this little animal-like girl.
"No, don't kill me!"
Lily immediately covered her eyes with her hands.
"No one is trying to kill you, little girl, we just want to ask you a few questions."
Sia said, causing Lily to let go of her hand covering her eyes in disbelief and look at Sia suspiciously.
"We want to ask you how Mr. Browning put you to bed."
Lu Jian spoke bluntly.
When the maid behind him heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and turned her face away, not wanting to hear the next words.
"Ahem."
Stone wanted Lu Tan to be less direct. He cleared his throat and motioned to the maid at the door to stay away.
"Ms. Lily, we would like to know what kind of person Mr. Browning is."
He spoke in classic words again.
"he?"
Lily didn't react for a moment. The shocked girl didn't understand what Stone meant.
They are all dead now, so why do you still care about Browning? It is impossible for him to get up from the coffin and kill someone!
"You know, Mr. Gold died, he was killed, and the cause of all this was Mr. Browning's legacy, or the legacy of Mr. Heming Taoist left in this room, Mr. Rum and Emma Ms. Browning does not live with Mr. Browning on weekdays and has limited knowledge of her father’s current situation. But you, Ms. Lily, have been spending time with Mr. Browning day and night during this period. You know him best. We think Let’s talk to you, don’t worry, as long as we are here, no one can hurt you.”
Stone said with relief.
Lily gradually calmed down after listening to Stone's words.
She stopped her trembling slightly, and the layers of illusory murmurs that had been lingering in her ears seemed to disappear, and she gained a moment of peace.
This allowed Lily to think calmly for a moment. She glanced at Stone. The thirty-year-old detective indeed looked very reliable. He was not as rough and upright as Lu Jian next to him, nor was he like the one who broke into the door in the first place. Shia is just as violent and fearsome.
"Mr. Browning, he is a pretty good man, I mean, he doesn't care about many details. When I was still working as a maid, well, yes, I used to be his personal maid, responsible for helping He changes clothes, takes a bath, etc. He is very gentlemanly most of the time and does not like to take advantage of others like some owners I have heard about.”
Lily said while recalling.
Her speech gradually became more coherent, as if her memory was slowly recovering, and she could even tell some details that were unlikely to be told under normal circumstances.
For example, she would mention that Browning had a surgical wound on his flank that was left in a gang attack.
For example, she would mention that Browning likes sweets and likes sweetened black tea with butter biscuits for afternoon tea, but sometimes she also eats tea with many lemon slices and sour grapes.
Although Browning is quite a gentleman most of the time, he is very rough in bed and has a certain tendency to violence.
Lu Jian noticed that Stone kept his other hand in his pocket when he was asking. Through Lu Jian's [Real Sight], he could see that there was a magnifying glass in Stone's jacket pocket. At that time, Stone's hand kept groping for the handle of the magnifying glass, which looked like a prop from "A Quiet Place".
"...By the way, there is one more thing."
Lily seemed to have recalled it to the end, she said.
"Before Mr. Browning died, he was supposed to sleep in my room, but he chose to sleep alone that day. The servants found him dead the next morning."
