Chapter 1679
“It seems that Master Lynch knows what the Tsuchimikado family represents.” Harvey York slightly squinted his eyes.
Benjamin Lynch took a deep breath and said slowly, “Tsuchimikado family, one of the five royal families of the Island Nation, the legendary Five Royal Families.
“These five families rarely appear in the world these days. They only occasionally appear during troubled times. Among the five, the most famous family is the Tsuchimikado family.
“This is because the strongest onmyoji of the Island Nation in history is from the Tsuchimikado family, Abe no Seimei.”
“But we have always stayed out of each other’s path. Why did they take action against my wife?”
Harvey then said indifferently, “Master Lynch, don’t forget the Yin-Yang Technique that I removed for you a few days ago. Not only did the Tsuchimikado family attack your wife, but they also planned to kill you several times.
“The Islanders wouldn’t do anything without benefits. They won’t go for a bad deal. So, you better think about it. Did you offend the Islanders before this?”
Benjamin frowned, and he slowly said after a long time, “To the best of my memory, I haven’t encountered any islanders, let alone having conflicts with them recently.
“But, the previous owner of this property that I bought a few years ago was an Islander.
“It’s just that when I bought this property, both parties assigned entrusted agents to deal with the agreement. Thus, we didn’t even have the opportunity to meet, let alone have any conflict.
“Brother York, would you guess wrongly?”
Benjamin could not understand it. Although he was not superstitious, Benjamin also knew that those killing arts certainly existed after seeing the spell and the Yin-Yang Technique with his own eyes.
It was just that he was a member of the government, after all, and did not work on the other side of the law. Why did the Islanders use those methods to mess with him? He certainly did not understand.
Harvey stood up and squinted at the mansion in front of him. Watching the haunted mansion under the setting sun, he suddenly smiled and said, “Since you have nothing to do with this matter, then it must be related to this mansion.
“I wonder if you have the floor plan of this mansion. Can I have a look?”
Benjamin slightly nodded and glanced at Yona Lynch.
Soon, Yona took out a large roll of yellow drawings and handed them to Harvey.
After spreading out the drawings, Harvey carefully looked at them for a while. He then smiled. “This building should have a history of more than a hundred years. But the building in that era actually had a basement. Interesting…”
Benjamin frowned and said, “This drawing should have been drawn when the embassy of the Island Nation was renovated back then. After that, the Island Nation moved out from this place, and then the embassy fell into the hands of an Islander who was a businessman. In the end, it fell into my hands.
“If there is a basement, it should have already been re-excavated by the embassy of the Island Nation back then.
“But regarding the basement, there shouldn’t be any problems since we have hired survey companies to do various surveys and some feng shui masters to look at it.”
Harvey then glanced at Yona.
Yona quickly replied, “That place is not far away. I have personally visited it several times. Back then, it should have been a wine cellar. Now, we use it as a storeroom.”
Harvey thought for a while and said, “It’s late at night and it isn’t suitable to do it now. I’ll stay in your mansion tonight. Prepare an excavator and breaker tomorrow morning. We’ll go and see the basement.”
“One more thing. Please find a place to bury that corpse, Master Lynch. Send the address to me. Remember, don’t let anyone guard that place. Just act as if a cat or dog was buried in it.”
Benjamin was taken aback for a moment. He did not understand. However, he still nodded quickly. “I’ll do as you say, Brother York.”
