The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]
Chapter 823: Quite The Life

THE head maid brought Luo Yan to an empty room on the first floor. It was a small room near the kitchen. According to the head maid, it was a room used by servants to rest. It was also where they took the mattress and the blanket as well.

Do you need anything else, detective? Mrs. Green asked.

She was obviously trying her best not to look at the covered body that Luo Yan just put on the empty bed frame. He felt like the other would vomit any minute now if she continued to be here. Then, its probably a good thing that she was busy with the explosion last night, so, she didnt have time to see the burned corpse inside the masters bedroom. She would have probably fainted and would still be bedridden until morning.

Yes, can you please tell everyone to gather at the drawing room? Lou Yan said. I will go there immediately after Im done here.

Mrs. Green nodded. How about Mr. Cooper and Benson? she asked, referring to George and the footman. Since the former was still unconscious, it would be impossible for him to gather with them.

Its okay if they dont go, Luo Yan said. Hed just ask George later about what really happened to him.

After that, the head maid finally left.

Luo Yan turned his attention on the body and removed the blanket. Now, lets start.

He then started with his investigation. What he did didnt even last a minute. But it was enough. Because he only needed to check one thing. After having the confirmation that he needed, he covered the body with the blanket again.

Now, he just needed to go and check fake Sorchas room. If she was indeed one of the four, then she would definitely leave a clue for him there.

He was about to leave when the door suddenly opened and someone walked in. Its just that, this someone rushed too quickly and tripped on their own heels. Luo Yan instinctively reached out and held their shoulders, steadying the other.

Are you alright, Sofia? he asked. Thats right, it was the ever beautiful and charming Sofia.

The other raised her head and looked up at him. Because Luo Yan bent down a little to catch her, their faces now were too close to each other. He now realized how nice it was to be the one with the height advantage. Because with this, he could see everything clearly. From her every micro expression to even the small fluff on her cheeks. Everything was so lovely.

So, he also witnessed how the blush on her neck quickly climbed up to her face and even to the tips of her ears. Although it was such a threat to see that, he still wished that the image in front of him was actually that of his cinnamon roll. That would be even lovelier.

Sofia tried to regain her composure and slowly stood on her own. Yes, Im fine.

Seeing the other trying to be calm, Luo Yan really wanted to mess with him a bit. But he held himself back and just asked, What are you doing here?

Well, I heard from the head maid that youre here. So, I came here immediately to talk to you privately. You know, about that thing, Sofia said.

The other must be referring to the two things I asked her to ask Edward. What have you found?

First, regarding the former Madame Harcourts death, she died a little over 30 years ago. She was found dead in the masters bedroom. According to Eddie, a servant found her collapsed on the floor. They said she probably had a heart attack at the middle of the night. Thats why she was only found the morning after.

Mr. Harcourt was not with here?

No, apparently, he was out on a business trip during that time. After the doctor was called and she was examined, it was determined that she died of heart failure, Sofia answered. Then, about Eddies deceased wife. I didnt replace anything more than what I had already told you. She died of a heart attack and on the day of her death a mysterious woman visited her. But there was one thing Eddie said that I found rather curious.

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. It seemed that his cinnamon roll was slowly learning to be theatrical. What is it? he asked, indulging the other.

The doctor who examined Madame Harcourt and Eddies deceased wife was one and the same person Dr. Granger. He was the one who labeled their deaths as heart failure. And apparently, hes also the familys former doctor. Its interesting, right? Although Im not sure if its a helpful information.

Luo Yan almost blurted out of course you do, isnt that the reason why you told it to me?. But he held back. Even holding back his laughter.

I assure you, its a very important information, he said. Did you ask Edward what happened to this doctor?

Eddie said he died about two years ago, Sofia said. Oh, and theres another interesting thing. He left all his fortune to Catherine.

Now, thats indeed interesting. This Dr. Granger didnt have any children or a wife?

Sofia shook her head. Eddie was very bummed about it, you know? He couldnt understand why he would leave it to Catherine when he could have used the money better. But why do you think the doctor would leave all his money and property to Catherine?

Why indeed? Luo Yan said with a knowing smile. Maybe hes very fond of Catherine.

But this information thoroughly gave a new perspective on this whole fiasco. He glanced at the body covered with a blanket. [Cathy, Cathy, you really led quite the life, didnt you?]

He took back his gaze and turned to the beautiful Sofia. Thank you for such useful information.

Its nothing, Im happy to help.

Luo Yan offered the other his arm. Then, shall we go, my lady?

Sofia visibly flinched at the mention of my lady. But she still smiled charmingly and put her hand on top of Luo Yans arm, making him smile.
