Chapter 216 – The Gardener's Truth
"Whew... Call.... As if he had lost all the courage he had suddenly gained just now, the two of them muttered and withdrew their fingers, took a few steps back, and looked at the old lady nervously.
"Ah!!h The old lady groaned and collapsed to the ground.
"Go!" Yuan Tai roared angrily and suppressed the old lady together with Mitsuhiko.
"Uhhh Qianyu sat up and hugged the injured leg. "The power of the sling... It's just ... ”
"Are you alright?" Gray Plains Wai immediately came to Chiba's side. "Nothing wrong with the bones, right?"
"Looks like it's okay... The corners of Chiha's mouth twitched. "But it really hurts...
"Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem at all with the fracture effect of the throwing stick," said Ashbara, who carefully grabbed the pants at the knee of Chiba and carefully pulled them upward, so that the pants at the calf where Chiba was hit were also pulled up. "It doesn't look like there's an open fracture at least, and the leg doesn't seem to be deformed...
"Hmm..." Qian Yu tried to stand up on her own and took a few steps. "Whew. It hurts, but it can be overcome. ”
"Can you still stand up? . . ." Gray Plains tilted his head. "That does seem to be okay... It's because the acceleration distance of the guy just now is not long enough, so the lower speed limits the power... ”
"Sure enough, it's an old lady... Conan's slightly tired voice and figure appeared around the corner. "I thought it was strange at the beginning...
"Huh?" Qianyu and the others were puzzled.
"When we first met her, she said a word... Conan replied. "Just like the replacement of passports and the revision of banknotes, I have taken these past events lightly...
"Right?"
"The old lady should be close to 90 years old this year, and basically she won't go abroad - Japan is an island country, and no matter how you go abroad, you need to take a boat or plane. These two modes of transportation will lead to the inability of the elderly to be treated in time once they are in danger, so it is definitely a high-risk and low-probability time for the 90-year-old to go abroad. It is even more unlikely to know that the passport was changed a few years ago. ”
"Huh..." The old lady, who was no longer able to move freely, turned around. "For the treasure here, I have invested twenty years of my youth here, but I didn't expect to miss the treasure...
"If you read more, you'll find treasures... Qian Yu pursed his lips.
"What?" The old lady looked at Chiba in surprise.
"Have you cracked the chess code?" Qian Yu said lightly.
"Of course I cracked it!" The old lady said excitedly. "Egg-head, egg-head!"
"Uhhh Thousand Feathers, Gray Plains, and Conan in the distance all looked helpless.
"Egg-head means nerd... After speaking, Gray Yuan Wai suddenly thought of something. "Wait a minute, do you mean..."
"Isn't there a conspicuous mural in the hall?" Thousand Feathers shrugged. "The white chess pieces represent the portrait of the Great Master, while the black chess pieces represent counterclockwise rotation...
After speaking, Qian Yu suddenly looked at the intersection not far away.
After a few seconds, his face changed suddenly. "Someone!"
Before the others could react, Qian Yu had already walked quickly to the side of the crossroads.
Just now he heard a voice... The sound of someone running in the passage...
Someone heard his reasoning and went to find the treasure!
Qian Yu didn't have any idea of fighting for treasures - he really couldn't get his hands on the clean money of good people.
But he still wanted to know who it was.
。。。
Qian Yu climbed up from the dark passage and looked at the portrait of the Great Master, which had been turned 60 degrees by a dark shadow.
"Thinking too much," Qian Yu said lightly. "Even if you find a treasure, you can't take it to yourself. Mr. Gardener, who I just knocked down. ”
The bald gardener turned his head and looked at him.
"As far as I know, the old man's will should be a rarity, right?" Qianyu said leisurely. "And even if there are several copies of the will, it can't be with you."
"If they continue to deny the existence of this will by then, then the treasure will be divided according to the default process. The fake old lady has been punished, and you can't get the treasure anyway, can you? ”
“。。。” The gardener was silent and let go of the portrait of the Great Master.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" Qian Yu sat on the ground and asked.
"Ask... The gardener sighed and said.
"Why would you chase Gray Plains?"
"It's a complicated story... The gardener smiled wryly. "I'll tell you slowly...
Then the gardener put his hand next to his ear.
Under Chiba's dumbfounded gaze, a crumpled mask of human face fell to the ground.
"I've had a past that I can't look back on," said the gardener, who showed his true face. "At the age of 16, he left all distractions behind and became a killer who added blood to his life, and then joined a killer group that was about to go out of business."
"She was the patriarch of the killer group and the mentor who was in charge of guiding me at the time, so we did a few missions together."
"Later, the boss of the team was arrested, and several veterans in the team disbanded without convincing anyone... I wanted to follow the eldest sister at the time, so I asked where the eldest sister went. ”
"I've been looking for about ten years, and about five years ago, I found out that my eldest sister had become a maid here under a pseudonym, and at the same time she had become a head maid. Although I had become a well-known killer, I was tired of gambling for my life, so I decided to use the gardening skills I had learned to make a living here. ”
"As a result, just a few days after I joined the company, there was that fire... Even the eldest sister's head is missing. ”
"I was already desperate, but I found that although the old lady had an old face, she had exactly the same voice as the eldest sister's head. Later, I tried to plant some flowers that the eldest sister liked, and found that the old lady often stayed in front of the flower garden in a wheelchair, and stopped in front of the flowers that the eldest sister liked. ”
"By chance, I discovered the secret passage here, and then found the body of the old lady in the secret passage, and finally confirmed that the current old lady is the head of the eldest sister, and also confirmed that the head of the eldest sister pretended to be the old lady in order to get the treasure... So I decided to help her. But because the eldest sister's personality is more ruthless, I don't dare to tell her clearly, so I can only help her quietly in my current capacity... ”
"As for chasing that little girl today, it's because I saw that she seemed to be in the way of the eldest sister's head...
"I apologize to you for what I have done... But also sorry, I don't regret it. ”
