「蒂芬尼，妳在哪裡？發生什麼事？」傑瑞接起電話後趕緊問道。
「小傑，趕快來櫃檯找我！我需要你的幫助！」蒂芬尼說畢，便立刻掛斷了電話。
神探們擔憂蒂芬尼的安危，立刻衝到旅館的櫃檯，卻發現蒂芬尼安然無恙地站在櫃檯後面、翻著白眼。
「蒂芬尼，怎麼了？出啥事兒了？」孝恩問道。
「吼，我沒事啦！是那個人有事！」蒂芬尼指向一對法國夫婦說。「那個莎江太太說她的紅玉項鍊不見了。然後一口咬定說是被鬼偷走了，因為項鍊不見的時候，她人一直待在房間裏。吼～她真的有夠盧的誒！我就跟她講過好幾遍這間飯店沒有鬧鬼，她就是不信！唉唷，小傑，幫我處理一下啦！跟那個番婆講這間旅館沒有鬼啦！」
「剛剛在餐廳裏發生過那樣的事情後，咱們可不敢隨便掛保證了！」孝恩說完便馬上敘述了一遍剛才發生的事情。
「孝恩，你說得對！這件事情比我想像地還要嚴重！」傑佛瑞若有所思地說。「如果我們不儘早破案，恐怕旅館所有的客人都會被嚇跑了！」
"Tiffany, where are you? What's going on?" enquired Jeffrey after picking up Tiffany's call.
"Jeffie, come to the reception now! I need your help!" exclaimed Tiffany, after which she hung up.
Fearing Tiffany's safety, the detectives dashed downstairs and arrived at the lobby, only to discover that Tiffany was safe and sound, standing behind the reception counter, rolling her eyes.
"Tiffany, are you okay?" asked Shaun.
"Well, I'm fine! But they're not!" answered Tiffany whilst referring to a French couple standing in front of the reception counter, who had their eyebrows knitted and hands crossed. "Apparently, Madame Sadjian claimed that she lost her necklace, which has got a piece of red jade on it. She kept insisting that it's been stolen by a ghost, 'cause she was in her room the whole time before and after it went missing. OMG, she is soooo stubborn! I've legit been telling her there're no ghosts in this hotel for the past thirty minutes and she still doesn't believe me."
"Well, I have to admit that, after what happened in the dining hall just now, we're not entirely surprised to hear this," responded Shaun before he started to recount their encounters whilst Tiffany was absent.
"Shaun, you're absolutely right! This is way more serious than I'd thought," declared Jeffrey pensively. "We've gotta solve this mystery before all the guests are frightened away!"
孝恩和傑佛瑞正在享用晚餐時，突然聽到一陣淒厲的尖叫聲從後方傳出。轉身一望，他們赫然發現餐廳其他的客人都靜止不動、嘴巴張得大大的，看著夾菜區。原來，他們看到餐盤、碟子及刀叉正自己在空中飄浮著。擁有靈異體質的孝恩和傑佛瑞立刻看見了是幾個鬼魂在搞鬼。大夥過了片刻後才回過神來，倉惶地趕緊逃離餐廳。
「發生了什麼事？」傑佛瑞小聲地問孝恩說。「我們初到這間旅館時，並沒有察覺有什麼異樣啊！怎麼突然就鬧鬼了呢？」
「估計是那張符咒！」孝恩斷言道。「每張符咒都有自己的作用，很可能是蒂芬尼無意間將其從樹上撕掉後，解除了某種封印，將這些鬼魂們釋放了出來。」
「要把這些鬼魂趕走，我們得好好研究一下這間旅館的歷史，以及這些鬼魂與這旅館的關聯！」傑佛瑞說。
「沒錯！而且，咱們也必須查出這些鬼魂生前的身份！」孝恩答道。「咱們可以問問蒂芬尼。她爸爸是旅館的大股東，說不定知道些其中的內幕消息。對了，蒂芬尼去哪兒了？」
「我記得她大概半小時前跟我說要去廁所，」傑佛瑞回答說。「這就怪了！她怎麼去這麼久啊？」
Shaun and Jeffrey were happily enjoying their buffet dinner whilst chatting about their previous cases when they heard a shrill scream coming from behind them. Turning around, they perceived that the rest of the customers in the dining hall were all motionless, staring with their mouths wide open towards the buffet area, where they saw trays, plates and cutlery appearing to float in mid-air. In fact, Shaun and Jeffrey, who had supernatural abilities, spotted several ghosts carrying the trays and dishes around, having a great time. Only after a few minutes did people begin to come to their senses and dashed out of the dining hall whilst others were so petrified that they appeared to be rooted to the spot.
"What happened?" whispered Jeffrey to Shaun. "I don't remember sensing any ghosts when we first entered the hotel."
"It must've been the magic charm!" responded Shaun, referring to the Taoist charm which Tiffany had ripped off the coconut tree trunk on their way back from the beach that afternoon. "Every magic charm must have its purpose and I guess we now know why it was there. It must've been there to seal the spirits in that tree. Now that the charm is gone, the ghosts can roam freely around the hotel."
"In order to send these ghosts away, we'll have to at least find out a bit about the history of this hotel," mumbled Jeffrey pensively.
"Exactly! We'd better also discover who those ghosts were before they died and why they're still here!" replied Shaun. "We could ask Tiffany. Her father is a shareholder of this hotel, so perhaps he'd know something about its past. Speaking of whom, where's Tiffany?"
"I remember she mumbled about going to the toilet around half an hour or so ago," answered Jeffrey. "That's odd! She should've been back ages ago! What's taking her so long?"
