Chapter 558: The Greatest Treasure (16)

It is clear that this note is a puzzle left by Edward found by the old earl, or even a clue to the treasure.

Maybe it was this thing that killed Earl Acheson?

But it doesn't make sense, if the other party is for this thing, he will definitely search the old earl's body carefully, this note is just hidden in the folds of the cuffs, and it is not difficult to find. Moreover, it is also a question of how the murderer learned that the old Count had clues in his possession, assuming that the Countess was the murderer, or that an accomplice provided information. But that's inconsistent, killing someone but not taking this note?

So I'm afraid this note is not the motive for the killing, there must be other reasons, and there may be only two criminals who didn't take the note.

The first is that he didn't know that the old earl had a clue in his hand, and the second was that he knew the answer behind this clue, so there was no need to take any more questions and subconsciously ignore it.

It's not impossible, Ann pointed out that when they came, several NPCs had already arrived, and they must have found something. And it seems that An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu's carpet search did not find any clues about the treasure, but in fact, there are still them.

The most obvious example of this is the secret door that opens the study to the mechanical swan glass wall downstairs.

The secret door has two floors, the first is made of ordinary wooden planks, and the second is made of metal base. There is a space between the two that fits into a typical dictionary thickness.

When An Yizhi opened this place, it was empty, and it was very likely that there was something in it, or a hint or a clue, and then someone took it, so when An Yizhi opened it, there was nothing.

But that doesn't make sense, because the man didn't take away the book of the mechanism that was hidden on the other side in the same way, did he think it was useless?

Of course, there must be more than one place to get clues, and from the tone of the note, Mr. Edward has put a lot of puzzles and traps in the house, but when Ann pointed out that they searched for it, they didn't find any of them, and they were probably taken away by other NPCs.

Either way, this puzzle was made by Edward, and Ann had no clue for a few moments, so he put him in a notepad for a while, and then talked about it later, and now he still needs to continue to examine the old earl's body.

They ripped the mechanical swan's beak open and turned the old earl over to see if there were any other clues.

"Look at his ring, it looks like the one we found."

Ann, who was observing the old earl's back, pointed to it and immediately turned her head to look.

As Tu Hongyu said, the ring, regardless of its style or size, was exactly the same as the 'souvenir' they found.

The same ring, in addition to the two in the hands of the two players, Buric also has one in his hand. In addition to the old earl's hand, a total of four rings of the same style have been found, and it is not clear whether there are more in the hands of others.

I feel that this thing can't be just a souvenir as the note says.

Wrapped in a handkerchief, Ann tucked the gear ring on the old earl's finger into the pocket of his suit, and then the two checked again, and after confirming that they could not find any more clues, they climbed out of the soft ladder in turn, and returned to the dining room again.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

From the point of view of the homicide scene investigation, their search was simply crude. Modern detectives are like imaginary necromancers, who can make corpses 'speak'. But An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu are just ordinary people, and their understanding of this aspect can only be regarded as a hobbyist, and there is no way to start a more detailed search.

Besides, it is unlikely that the system will arrange such professional puzzles, most of the puzzles he comes up with are within the knowledge of ordinary people, and there are few additional rewards that will involve professional knowledge.

When the two returned to the dining room, the Countess was still dizzy, lying on the couch, at least superficially dizzy.

Others gathered in front of the radio station, and their faces did not seem to look good.

"What's going on?"

"The police said that the storm was too big, and most of their police force was deployed to maintain the safety of road traffic, and unless the rain stopped, there was no way to rush over immediately."

Ann shrugged with one finger, which was expected. Anyway, they really used the radio to contact the police in the stormy weather, maybe the quality of this radio in Edward's house is very good?

But that's not the point, An Yi clapped his hands and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we've examined the bodies, and now I'd like you to answer some questions individually."

He looked at the faces of the crowd and added:

"Of course, only for homicide-related issues."

The crowd still didn't move, and after a few seconds of silence, Burlick said:

"Mr. An, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but we ......"

He thought about the wording:

"It's that you and Mr. Tu are both suspicious, and it's very big."

Buric is right, the old earl's body was found inside a sealed glass wall, almost like a secret room murder, and An Yizhi knows how to open the secret passage on the roof of the building, no wonder other NPCs will start to wonder if this detective is a thief shouting to catch a thief.

Cooperation needs to be willing, even if you point a gun at them, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not hide anything during the questioning process, so An Yizhi can only find a way to convince.

After thinking about it for a while, An Yi pointed and said:

"Let's be honest."

He pulled over a chair, crossed Erlang's legs and said with a look of no shape:

"Ask yourself, do you really not know about the secret door? Maybe some people don't know, but I'm certainly not the only one who knows. ”

He looked at Charlie on the side:

"Even if you've only recently been hired, you know more than we who just came here for a day, and the secret door is for easy maintenance of the mechanical swan, so it's not surprising to know that as a servant, right? Secondly, Mr. Abel is Mr. Edward's lawyer, and it is possible that you have a close relationship with your employer in the eyes of outsiders, and you may know this information. ”

He turned to Anasta on the side:

"Also, Miss Anasta comes here 'occasionally', as you yourself told me."

He occasionally accented it, as if pointing out that Anasta's occasional was not true, but the latter didn't care, and she generously admitted:

"I do know the secret door, Mr. Edward showed me around."

"But Miss Anasta doesn't have the ability to commit crimes."

Burrick Road.

"It's true that there isn't, but the possibility of a gang crime cannot be ruled out."

As he spoke, An Yizhi focused on observing the expressions of several people, and seeing that their expressions were the same, Xindao really couldn't tell who the murderer was so simply......

"Everyone has the possibility of committing a crime, let's talk about the motive. Mr. Burlick, I don't need to point it out, do I? ”

He nodded silently and did not speak.

Lawyer Abel glanced at him and did not object. It seems that many people know that the old earl was cuckolded.

"Everyone has a motive, and the amount of property that everyone gets for each person who dies will increase, which is a very simple motive, so if the murderer uses this as the motive for killing, I guess he will continue to commit crimes, so I suggest that everyone should not be left alone when they act, and it is better for two or three people to act together."

This is a bit of a strong man's difficulty, and don't forget, everyone gathered in this mansion for treasure hunting, and it is impossible for people who want to monopolize the inheritance to act together.

"This is just a proposal, not a mandatory, I also want to find the treasure left by Mr. Edward, so I am not reluctant, but for the sake of the deceased, please cooperate a little, I promise not to delay you too much, and will not ask any questions unrelated to the homicide."

Looking at everyone's expressions, An Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally convinced these guys, Jinnima.

"I remember that there is a usable room next door to the restaurant, and I will ask you some questions individually, please do not leave the restaurant until the inquiry is completed, thank you for your cooperation."

He said and looked at lawyer Abel:

"Mr. Abel, please be the first."

"Yes, Mr. Ann."

Able hesitated, then nodded in agreement.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

This copy is very different from the last time in the deep mountain house, at least this time the player is also very suspected of murder, plus there is a treasure hidden somewhere in the mansion, and the temptation of money makes the whole thing even more complicated.

An Yizhi said that such a big string just wanted these NPCs to cooperate, and the effect was okay in terms of results, at least lawyer Abel was quite cooperative.

The three of them sat down on the sofa next to the coffee table, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu took out their notebooks and prepared to make some records, looking quite professional.

"Name, Gender......

"Let's stop doing these useless things, let's get down to business."

Tu Hongyu really came here to be addicted to being a policeman, saying that he did say that he wanted to be a policeman in the future, but because of his bad grades, he couldn't get into the police academy, so he had to give up.

"Mr. Able, what are you doing in the wee hours of the morning?"

"Early in the morning? Was Mr. Earl dying in the wee hours of the morning? ”

Sure enough, he is a member of the judicial system, and he is very sensitive to this. He muttered, and then said:

"I'm sleeping in my room."

"Alibi ......"

An Yizhi shook his head:

"I'm afraid it's gone?"

"Yes, it's just me."

Judging from the time of death, Count Acheson died in the early hours of the morning, and everyone was resting in their rooms at this time, so even if they asked, they would probably only get the answer that they were sleeping, and there was no alibi.

An Yizhi turned two pages forward from his notebook, looked at the interpersonal relationship diagram he had drawn, and asked:

"What is your relationship with the deceased?"

"It's not familiar, it can only be regarded as acquaintance, Earl Acheson was elected to an economic dispute before, and I helped him win the lawsuit, and I asked me to keep the details of the lawsuit secret."

"Understandable."

The lawyer is obligated to keep the client's client confidential, and he feels that the lawsuit has little to do with it.

"Do you know anyone else?"

"Hmm...... I didn't know anyone except Charlie and Mary, and this was the first time we met. ”

"For the first time? Even Countess Lydia? ”

"Yes, he was not married at the time when I defended Monsieur Earl."

"About the Countess ......"

Tu Hongyu didn't finish asking, and Abel interrupted:

"If you are talking about the problem of her behavior, I do know that, not only me, but this matter is widely circulated in circles, even the Earl himself."

it? Can you bear it if you know? Does this Mr. Earl love NTR?
