THe stonecutters shop had Zahotep and Pai while Gebu had GebuXD
in Gebu's room Ranofer finds the golden goblet in the chest, not the box, in Gebu's room, where he is forbidden to go, upstairs.
Most likely, Ranofer and Gebu and I would count Heqet and the Ancient since they helped Ranofer catch Gebu =)

The ancient wants Ranofer to promise not to let anyone take the Golden goblet that he made.
