Chapter 1871
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1871 Nodding in response, Harold then hung up before stepping on the gas as they sped to the crime scene.
As Gerald had earlier told Rey, instead of being the perpetrator, Lord Van Tage was simply another victim. From what he could currently deduce, Lord Van Tage must have encountered something terrible with Fay which led to both of them being targeted and eventually killedâ¦
While Gerald had successfully predicted that Lord Van Tage would end up dying next, he was unfortunately a bit too late to prevent his deathâ¦
Regardless, the trio soon arrived at Lord Van Tageâs home⦠The Elysian Labyrinth.
Since it was well known that this was Lord Van Tageâs home and he already had a cult following, it was no surprise that several people were already there, looking immensely shocked. After all, hovering right under one of the houseâs beams, was Lord Van Tageâs lifeless body!
For a bit of backstory, after graduating from university, Lord Van Tage had dedicated his life to researching the field of psychology. While his rise to fame was simply by chance, once people started coming to him for consultations and tests, they never stopped seeking his help. And just like that, he became a celebrity on social media.
After getting so used to his presence, it truly was shocking to find out that Lord Van Tage would end up dying in his own home of all placesâ¦
Moving back to Gerald and his party, after approaching the crime scene, Harold turned to look at his subordinateâwho had just walked up to the trioâbefore asking with a serious tone, âWhatâs the situation like?â
âWell, according to the witnessâ descriptions, Lord Van Tage had simply been conducting another of his many consultations earlier when all of a sudden, he began floating! The witnesses could only stare in horror as he squeezed his own neck till he eventually died of strangulation!â reported the subordinate.
Harold was rightfully stunned after hearing that. To think that something that terrifying could happen in the real worldâ¦!
As for Gerald, he went ahead and stood right beneath the hovering corpse before looking aroundâ¦
Even so, he simply couldnât see anything out of the ordinary.
âFind anything, brother Geraldâ¦?â asked the confused Rey.
ââ¦Well, for starters, this place is brimming with feminine aura, just like Fayâs place. In other words, Iâm pretty sure the culprit is the same individual,â replied Gerald.
âI see⦠Still, donât you find all this a bit too bizarre, brother Geraldâ¦? Who in the right mind would strangle themselves to deathâ¦?â muttered the bewildered Rey.
Frowning slightly as he narrowed his eyes, Gerald then replied, âNot him, thatâs for sure. Iâll be frank and say that from what I can gather, a ghost must have possessed him! How and why else would he strangle himself to death! Still, no ordinary ghost couldâve done this!â
Feeling a chill run down his spine, Rey then quickly held onto his neck before fearfully stuttering, âA-are you saying that that very ghost could be observing us at this momentâ¦?â
âNegative. I canât sense its presence,â comforted Gerald, prompting Rey to breathe a sigh of relief. Still, Rey couldnât help but feel goosebumps all over when he thought about how ghosts could secretly be observing him at all timesâ¦
Shortly after, Harold walked over to the duo before asking, âFind anything out of the ordinary, Mr.
Crawford?â
