Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 1870-1872

Chapters 1870.

"We think you're possessed! After all, you don't respond to us no matter how much we call you! You scared us half to death, you know?"

Answer Rey who was dumbfounded.

Choosing to ignore Rey's statement, Gerald then jumped out of bed before saying,

"After all, I just found something important!"

Immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the room, Harold then quickly walked over before asking, instead,

"What exactly have you found?"

Pointing fingerprints at the ceiling, Gerald then replied,

"There's something wrong with that black fingerprint!"

Confused, Harold then asked,

"...I'm not sure if I'm following."

"Think about that. Why would an assassin leave such a clear handprint after doing the deed?" Answer Gerald.

Upon hearing that, Harold found himself frowning. After thinking for a moment, he then replied,

"...Are you saying that the killer is trying to mislead us?"

Nodding in response, Gerald then replied,

"Bingo. In any case, bring Lord Van Tage in for questioning. I suspect that Fay's death has something to do with him!"

Not even asking any further, Harold then turned to look at his subordinates before ordering,

"Send some of our men to bring Lord Van Tage in for questioning right now!"

Watching Harold's subordinate run off to do as he was told, Rey then inched closer to Gerald before saying,

"...Don't you feel that all this is too weird, brother Gerald.?"

"It... After all, I believe that instead of humans, ghosts are the true perpetrators of this evil! I actually had them bring Lord Van Tage back to the office to protect him!"

Gerald whispered in response.

After hearing that, Rey finally saw the bigger picture. Since there was nothing more to do here at this time, Gerald then said,

"Alright, let's go back to the Great Council building for the moment 'anni!"

With that, everyone did as Gerald said. However, on his way back to the building, Harold's phone started ringing. Answering the call with his other hand, Harold then said,

"Yes?"

"Bad news, sir! Mr. Van Tage is dead." Reply subordinate.

After hearing that, the creaking of the tires could be instantly heard as Harold stepped on the brakes.

"What's? Die?!" Harold was surprised.

From Harold's reaction alone, Gerald already knew they were too late.

"So, I assumed that the dead man was Lord Van Tage?"

Gerald said with a sigh just as Harold turned to look at him.

Shocked that Gerald could read his thoughts, Harold regained his senses immediately before nodding.

"Then, let's go to TKP right away!" Gerald.

Chapters 1871.

Nodding in response, Harold then hung up the phone before stepping on the gas as they drove to the scene.

As Gerald had said before to Rey, instead of being the perpetrator, Lord Van Tage was just another victim.

From what he could deduce at the moment, Lord Van Tage must have experienced something terrible with Fay that caused both of them to be targeted and eventually killed...

While Gerald had successfully predicted that Lord Van Tage would end up dead next, unfortunately he was a bit late to prevent his death.

In any case, the three soon arrived at Lord Van Tage's house... The Elysian Labyrinths.

Since it was already known that this was Lord Van Tage's house and he already had heretical followers, it was no wonder that some people were already there, looking extremely shocked.

After all, hovering right under one of the beams of the house, was the lifeless body of Lord Van Tage!

After graduating from university, Lord Van Tage dedicated his life to researching psychology.

Although his fame was just a coincidence, once people started coming to him for consultations and tests, they never stopped seeking his help. And just like that, she became a celebrity on social media.

Having gotten used to his presence, it was surprising to learn that Lord Van Tage would eventually die in his own home all over the place...

"What's the situation like?"

"Well, according to the witness description, Lord Van Tage had just done another consultation from many previous consultations when suddenly, he started to drift! The witnesses could only stare in horror as he squeezed his own neck until he finally died from being strangled!"

Report subordinates.

Harold had the right to be stunned after hearing that. Thinking that something scary could happen in the real world...!

As for Gerald, he went ahead and stood right under the hovering corpse before looking around... Even so, he could not see anything extraordinary.

"Find something, brother Gerald...?" Rey asked confusedly.

"...Well, for starters, this place is full of feminine aura, just like Fay's place. In other words, I'm pretty sure the culprit is the same person" Gerald replied.

"so... Still, don't you think this is all too weird, brother Gerald...? Who in their right mind would strangle themselves to death...?" Rey muttered in confusion.

Slightly frowning while narrowing his eyes, Gerald then replied,

"Not him, that's for sure. I will be honest and say that from what I can gather, ghosts must have possessed it! How and why else would he strangle himself to death! Still, no ordinary ghost could do this!"

Sensing the chill running down her back, Rey then quickly grabbed hold of her neck before stuttering in fear,

"A-are you saying that the ghost can observe us right now...?"

"negative. I can't feel his presence."

Gerald comforted, encouraging Rey to breathe a sigh of relief.

Still, Rey could only goosebumps at the thought of how ghosts could quietly observe her at any moment...

Shortly after, Harold walked up to the two before asking,

"Find anything unusual, Mr Crawford?"

Chapters 1872.

"From what I've managed to gather up to this point, the killer has never been a human, but rather a vengeful ghost!"

"...Coming again? A vengeful ghost? Are you absolutely sure, Mr. Crawford's? This is not a small case,"

Harold replied with a slightly doubtful tone.

To be honest, Harold didn't really believe in ghosts. However, with so many supernatural occurrences happening before his eyes, what other choice did he have than to believe?

"Since you've hired me to settle the case, you just need to trust me, Mr. Lee. In any case, I promise that I, Gerald Crawford, have never lied about things like this! However, if you still refuse to trust me, then don't continue to waste time on each other."

Gerald replied as he immediately turned to leave. If his judgment is unbelievable, then he should just leave.

Quickly stopping Gerald from leaving, Harold then sighed before saying,

"You misunderstood, Mr Crawford! I have no doubt about your abilities at all! However, keep in mind that the case is getting out of control now. I need something more. Convincing to appease everyone, if you know what I mean..."

"Mr. Lee, I assure you one hundred percent that ghosts are among us. In any case, if I stay then don't waste time arguing about their whereabouts. The main focus now was to catch the vengeful ghost before it caused any more trouble!"

Gerald said in a serious tone.

"...Yep, yeah... You're so right! Well, I believe you, Mr. Crawford! By saying that... What do we do next?" Ask Harold.

"For the time being, I suggest that you and your men return first while I remain here with my disciple. Call it a hunch, but I believe that vengeful ghosts still have some unfinished business here. With that in mind, it will definitely return tonight!" Answer Gerald.

After hearing that, Harold only agreed. Because he has chosen to trust Gerald, he believes that Gerald has a plan.

Moreover, Gerald was an expert in the supernatural here, so who was he to question his decision? With that, Harold and his men immediately left the building...

At that moment, the crowd from before had dispersed - because it seemed like no one was giving them any more advice - and the Elysian Labyrinth was immediately shut down...

To pass the time, Gerald and Rey remain in their car outside the deceased's home. As soon as night falls, Rey inevitably asks,

"...Are you sure we'll see a ghost tonight, brother Gerald...?"

"To put it simply, all ghosts instinctively feel the need to go back to the CTF that involved them. Coupled with the fact that the night is usually the most active time for ghosts, I was pretty sure that the vengeful ghost would return!" Answer Gerald.

With how confident Gerald sounds, Rey tends to believe that Gerald must be right.

Looking at Rey who asked, Gerald pulled out his phone to look at the time... Apparently, it's ten o'clock. Nodding while putting his phone back in his pocket, Gerald then said,

"All right, let's move!"

After which, the two left the car before quietly walking to the entrance of the Elysian Labyrinth...

Just as Rey was about to open the door, Gerald suddenly shouted in a slow tone,

"Wait!"

When Rey turns to look at Gerald, wondering what went wrong, she can't help but furrow her brows as Gerald puts his hand on Rey's forehead.

Actually, Gerald is currently transmitting some power to Rey...
