Jeremy, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton took the guests to a fancy hotel downtown for lunch.

They finished the meal at around third o'clock in the afternoon.

After sending off the guests, Xyla and Stanley drove Jeremy back to the Quest family's house.

Jeremy drowned in raw agony and sorrow even after he went home. His face was as pale as chalk.

Xyla and Stanley carefully helped him to the couch in the living room.

Jeremy could not stop sighing as he sank onto the couch. He grabbed the cigarette box on the coffee table, pulled out a cigarette, and then placed it between his lips.

However, before he could even light the cigarette, Xyla took away the cigarette and admonished him, "Smoking is bad for health. You should stop smoking." Xyla had lost count of how many times he had smoked yesterday.

She was not going to let him smoke anymore.

Jeremy nodded obediently instead of rebuking her. He leaned against the couch exhaustedly, questioning Stanley with his eyes closed, "Stan, where did you find those two bodies?" "They're two unclaimed bodies at the funeral home," Stanley answered truthfully. "I've found an experienced detective, Carson Ritzer, to investigate Aunt May and Emily's death. I believe that we'll find out who that 'master' is real soon." Xyla and Jeremy were surprised to hear the detective's name.

Carson was the world's No.1 detective. He had solved countless bizarre cases.

No one else on earth could defeat him.

Many of the world's most sensational murder cases were solved, thanks to him.

Xyla felt like they were closer to the truth after hearing his name.

Never in her life had she expected Stanley to hire Carson to investigate May's and Emily's deaths.

As far as she knew, Carson had already retired due to old age.

He had stopped taking cases long ago.

The president even went to his house to plead him, hoping that he could help him to solve more cases. Sadly, he rejected the president.

"Why would he agree to help us? How did you do it?" Xyla asked Stanley curiously, a glint of anticipation in her eyes.

"He's Grandpa's old friend," Stanley answered.

"Oh, okay. Did you show him the symbols I found in Emily's room?" Xyla asked again.

"Yes, I did, but he has no idea what they are. Grandpa has also found a couple of experts to work on them symbols but to no avail. None of them has seen those symbols before. As far as they're concerned, there have been no such symbols on earth for the past few thousand years," Stanley explained. Xyla was extremely shocked to hear that.

She thought these symbols would be deciphered real soon as many language experts or historians in Atlantis. Unfortunately, she was wrong.

"Carson suspects that it is a tool of communication used by smysterious organizations. They've invented their language and symbols ei that nobody else understands," Stanley added. "I quite agree with him. Grandpa has looked for many well-known experts, but none of them has seen these fonts before. I believe that there's indeed no such thing in the world." "I guess it's impossible to solve the symbols now." Xyla shrugged disappointedly before letting out a deep sigh.

"Yeah. We can only start investigating the case from Aunt May and Emily's death. This This guy is tricky, it'l take stto track him down," said Stanley. Xyla nodded in response.
