Tu Hongyu climbed up the ladder and went to the back of the ceiling to repair the electric light, saying that the quality of this ceiling is really good, and it can actually withstand a guy of his size without collapsing.

An Yizhi led Anasta to the pile of mechanical gears, and everything in front of him seemed to have changed the style of painting, full of the feeling of a two-dimensional fantasy world, and everywhere he saw were gears in motion.

"The treasure you're looking for is in the chest at your feet, it's the design drawings that Mr. Edward has accumulated all his life, and although they are very valuable, they are ......"

Anasta shook her head, and Ann pointed to the second half of the sentence:

"But with the current level of mechanical manufacturing, after Mr. Edward's death, I am afraid that for a long time in the future, it will only be drawings and cannot make real objects, right?"

"Well, with other people's machining capabilities, it can't be done at all."

Indeed, Edward's machining capabilities are simply unbelievable.

Take the mechanism in the floor of the study as an example, after the two metal plates are closed, there is no gap visible to the naked eye, how much precision processing is required to do this?

Not to mention the manufacturing capacity in the 1930s, that is, in the 21st century, it is very difficult to do this with CNC machine tools.

I feel that Edward, like Leonardo da Vinci in reality, is a genius far ahead of his time. The only difference is that Edward's hands-on ability is more than a star and a half stronger than Leonardo da Vinci, and he has the ability to turn the design in his mind into a real thing, and when he dies, it is impossible for anyone to copy his work for a long time in the future.

"It's not his treasure, though, or it's just part of the treasure he's left behind."

Hearing Ann's words, Anasta glanced at him in surprise:

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not"

As he spoke, An Yizhi took out the drawings drawn with charcoal from the cartography shelf, and carefully examined them against the machine in front of him.

"Sure enough, this drawing is the design of the entire bell tower machinery."

He looked at the drawings, then at the machinery in front of him, swept his eyes, found a lever not far away, and pulled it down hard.

I just heard a choking sound, as if something had bounced out.

A boxy metal box pops out of the wall to the left of the two with an inconspicuous dent.

An Yi looked at the size, felt for the gear ring he had found earlier, and tucked it in, turning it clockwise, accompanied by a sound of machine movement, and the box collapsed on one side, revealing a space that could fit a hand.

- The gear ring is really not a simple souvenir!

"What are you going to do?"

Anasta asked, puzzled.

"Stop the bell tower first, so you can get the real treasure."

An Yizhi said, reaching into the box, but the next moment he felt the back of his hand touch a sharp object, a tingling pain.

When I took it out, I saw a two- or three-centimeter-long cut on the back of my hand.

Yes, it's exactly the same as the marks on the hand of lawyer Abel !

"Sure enough...... Hehe, Mr. Edward, you're so biased. ”

With these puzzling words, he looked back at Anasta.

Suddenly, a figure appeared from behind Anasta, and An Yizhi hurriedly reminded:

"Be careful!"

Anasta was stunned for a moment, then ducked to the right, and then heard a 'doo', like some sharp weapon pierced the wooden floor, and before she could get up, the sharp blade was raised again.

As the fabric was torn, Anasta's heavy Bavarian-style princess dress directly turned into a high-V low-cut dress.

She held the only remaining piece of cloth on her chest to prevent herself from going away, and was about to flee to An Yizhi, only to feel a cold metal weapon under her neck.

An Yizhi pulled out his gun and said:

"At last, Countess Lydia."

She was the one who attacked Anasta.

Of course, it's not just her.

"Mr. An, you are really smart."

Behind her, lawyer Abel walked through the door with a pistol:

"Now, drop the gun, or I'll leave a hole in Miss Anasta's pretty neck."

The other party has hostages in hand, and according to the routine of general TV dramas, at this time our protagonist will definitely honestly throw away his weapon. But with Ann's character......

Hostage? What the hell is going on with me? If I lose my gun, won't I let anyone slaughter me?

This time, though, he didn't, shrugged, dropped the pistol on the ground, and kicked it away a little.

"Mr. Able, you've killed the old Earl, and you almost killed Berric, I guess you want to take the treasure to yourself."

Able and Lydia didn't answer, he didn't shoot Ann in the first place because he was still useful.

"You already knew that the treasure was here, but you were very unwilling to find only a box of drawings, and you quietly ran to Anasta's house through the secret passage to see if there was any hint and found nothing, am I wrong?"

"You're not wrong, Mr. Ann Yizhi."

"yes, otherwise you would have shot earlier, coincidentally, I have solved all the puzzles, and I know where the real treasure is, and how to take it."

"Say it! Otherwise......"

"Or you're going to go down and let Miss Anasta hit the ground? A little new, okay? OKOK, don't get excited, I'll just say it, but I need to start from the beginning. ”

Seeing the green tendons on Lydia's forehead, Ann Yizhi decided that it was better not to stimulate them:

"From the beginning, it was a game."

He posed that there was only one truth, and smiled fearlessly in the face of the muzzle:

"You and Abel have known each other for a long time, and they are related, so I don't need to say more. The old earl's psychopathic Shake M should have also taken a fancy to this point before marrying you, and initially you planned to divide Mr. Edward's estate equally with the three of you, why is that? Why bring that old guy with you? ”

After a good show, An pointed and said:

"Because he's a nobleman, you two are just commoners, and Mr. Edward's legacy, or treasure, isn't something that easy to sell."

He kicked the box next to him with as little motion as possible that was not irritating to the two of them, and this time kicked off the wooden shell of the box a little:

"See? Pure gold, although so much gold is very valuable, but how to sell it is a problem, a sugar daddy Xiaomi, a lawyer suddenly took out so much gold one day, everyone will be suspicious, too dazzling, so you need the old earl to help sell the stolen goods, he is a nobleman, even if you take out so much gold, you can use the article 'I found it in the treasure house left by my ancestors' This article can not be said by others to be suspicious. ”

The two watched Ann perform with one finger and did not speak, because what he said was the truth:

"And then you killed him, just as you plotted how to get Mr. Edward's inheritance, because you found something more valuable than the Golden Chest, and you have already found your next ......"

"I have to say, Mr. An, you are really good, and you deserve to be called a detective."

Abel admired, but the gun in his hand was always pointed at Ann, which was not like admiration:

"Getting to the point"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, if I don't make it clear, the audience will be dissatisfied."

The two of them thought that An Yizhi was pretending to be forced, but in fact it was.

"Later, you wanted to kill Buric again, and as for the motive, eighty percent was because he found out that Mr. Able was the murderer of the old earl, so he wanted to talk to Lydia, and he always thought that he was infinitely charming, and he brought a rose sister. Tsk, but I didn't expect Lydia to be with Mr. Able all along. ”

An Yizhi took out the needle pipe with snake venom:

"I won't say much about who you originally planned to use this thing on, I'm afraid it's the other party? The extraction of snake venom is not easy. ”

Able glanced at Lydia, who quietly looked away.

"Don't try to divide us, I'll kill you before then."

"You have a gun, you call it up."

Throwing away the needle, An pointed and said:

Lydia and Beric agreed to meet in the gazebo in the garden, and Lydia crawled out of the tunnel, pricked a needle in Burric's calf, and escaped in the tunnel. At the same time, Mr. Able, you pressed Anasta into the water while she was alone, and tried to kill her, presumably to kill anyone who knew the secrets of the secret passage. ”

You just can't imagine that Anasta isn't dead.

An Yizhi smiled secretly in his heart, and then said:

"But you didn't kill her simply to kill her and keep the secret, the original plan was to chop off her hand by the way, right? As a result, I heard the footsteps of someone approaching the kitchen, and I was worried that I would be blocked, so I couldn't succeed. ”

Able didn't answer, and acquiesced.

"Hehe, it's a very simple reasoning, if you want to get the treasure, you have to stop the clock, and to stop the clock, you have to need Anasta's hand."

Anasta herself was confused.

"The switch is in the box, I guess it's fingerprinted? Or something else, it has to be Anasta's hand anyway, and someone else's hand will get scratched if they reach in. ”

He reached out and showed the wound on the back of his hand:

"Now all the puzzles have been solved, but the treasure has not been obtained, but you did not kill me because you discovered that Mr. Edward's treasure has something more precious than the 'one' that needs to be opened by Anasta, and you don't know where this thing is."

He grinned:

"Coincidentally, I just knew."

"Say it! We don't have the time to listen to your nonsense! ”

Lydia tightened the knife in her hand, the sharp edge of the knife cutting down Anasta's neck, and the liquid flowed down the gap.

"Of course, that's why you didn't do anything after listening to me talk about it for a long time, but ......"

"This is also my calculation, do it!"

When Abel heard this, he immediately felt bad, and he was about to pull the trigger, when he felt a gust of wind hit the back of his head, and he pounced on the spot to dodge, but the falling thing was bigger than he thought......

Tu Hongyu jumped from the ceiling and was hit by a 160-kilogram man jumping from more than 2 meters away......

A second of silence was held for Able, and the thing rolled its eyes.

"Abel!"

Lydia screamed, her heart fluttered, and the sharp knife in her hand was about to stab down, but Anasta also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she slammed it upwards, hitting the back of her head directly into the other person's chin.

Taking advantage of the moment when Lydia was stunned, Anasta quickly pulled out the clamps.

"You ......!"

The vertigo was only for a moment, and the knife in Lydia's hand fell, but she saw that Abel's pistol was at her feet, and it was not difficult to control the situation with a pistol as long as she picked it up.

- Bang!

Ann was one step ahead of her, picked up her pistol and didn't aim at it, this shot was extremely accurate, and directly shot Abel's pistol.

"Now, the master has a gun, and the master has the final say."

Lydia could only look at him viciously, no problem, the other party had a gun in his hand, and his marksmanship was extremely accurate, and then he was hit in the neck by Tu Hongyu, and his eyes were white and fainted.

"Mr. Ann Yizhi, your marksmanship is so good?"

"Haha, see the smile, general, average."

So far, Ann is embarrassed to say that he is actually aiming at his chest in the face of Anasta's admiration......

All of this happened in just a few seconds, from Tu Hongyu falling from the sky to controlling the two of them, a double kill was completed in a short period of time.

It is said that if Tu Hongyu doesn't get up again, Abel will be crushed to death by him......

Tu Hongyu played the role of a policeman this time, and there were two handcuffs in his pocket, which were just used to control the two people.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, the system has hinted that there are two criminals, knowing that the average police officer will only wear one pair of handcuffs, not two.

Although it didn't seem to make much difference whether Abel was tied up or not in his current state, he was foaming at the mouth......

"You just said that Buric found out that Able was the murderer of the old Earl, what is the matter?"

Chaining the two to the pipe in the corner, Tu Hongyu asked.

"It's easy, look at Able's belt."

An Yizhi said:

"The murder weapon that killed the old earl was a belt, not a hemp rope, and we didn't find the murder weapon in the house, which shows that the murder weapon has been carried by the murderer. You see, Abel has twisted and deformed, and it is clear that it has been used to pull something, and as a lawyer, how can a person with such a decent job use a belt that has been deformed? Thinking of the strangulation marks on the old earl's neck again, so Berric, who inadvertently saw the belt of Ebel, immediately realized that he was the murderer. ”

Tu Hongyu then understood, and then he lowered his head slightly, An Yizhi knew that he was looking at the task list, but the system did not send a prompt for the completion of the main task, indicating that it was still a little short.

"Miss Anasta"

Ann pointed to Anasta who was covering her neck and chest, and pretended to stroke her chest:

"Allow me to show you Edward. Mr. Pickles' most important and cherished treasure. ”

Anasta bit her lip:

"Just reach in, okay?"

"Well, it should be."

As she spoke, Anasta put her hand into the box that popped up on the wall, and at that moment, the two players heard the metallic noise of the gears being abruptly stopped, and the crunch of the brackets being opened.

They looked at the tower's huge dial, which quickly broke out of place like a building block knocked down by a child bear and tumbled downstairs with a rumbling noise.

The hands stopped at that moment.

"Isn't the treasure just the scenery in front of you? It's too old-fashioned. ”

Tu Hongyu admitted that the scenery from the bell tower was really good.

At this time, the dark clouds hanging over the mansion dispersed in response to the scene, revealing the red sunset, and in the distance, you can see the small harbor town near the golden red sea standing quietly, beautiful like a painting.

Yes, exactly like one of the paintings downstairs.

"Of course, it's more than that, I don't know if you've ever paid attention to mechanical watches."

"Mechanical watches? What's the matter with mechanical watches? ”

"Mechanical watches are usually set with gems at 12 o'clock or the hands, and the puzzle says 'the brightest star', and that's pretty clear."

As he spoke, Ann ran his finger to the back of the hour hand at 4 o'clock, and he felt himself touch something the size of an egg, and at the same time touched a button.

With a slight press, something the size of an egg falls into his palm, radiating a magnificent luster in the setting sun.

"Look, it's a cut diamond, the size of an egg, and as far as I know, there's only one diamond in the world that can match it."

"The Star of Africa on the Queen's Scepter......"

This diamond is very famous, and Tu Hongyu also knows it.

"Is this Mr. Edward's most important treasure?"

Anasta asked.

Ann opened the item's attributes and took a look, and found that it was just an ordinary ornament, so he threw the crazy gem to Anasta.

"Mr. Edward's true treasure is a perfect artificial lifeform, a purely mechanical creation, Miss Anasta, you are Mr. Edward's greatest legacy."

Tu Hongyu looked at Anasta when he heard this, mechanical creation? How is this possible?

Anasta turned, her hands clutching her neck and chest, and her heavy Bavarian-style princess dress fell to the ground.

What appears in front of both players is not a 'mosaic' or a perk, but a body that looks like a wooden doll, with her thighs and shoulders very typical spherical joints.

The brown fluid that came out of the neck was not blood, but ......

Black tea.

"Mr. Edward is a great worker at circulating hot water to keep you warm and make you look like a real person, and as for solid food, there should be a special stomach pouch that can be taken out, right? But it's more cumbersome to clean up, so you don't eat much at every meal."

That's why Able didn't drown Anasta because she didn't need to breathe at all.

"You live up to your name, Mr. Ann. But I'm not perfect, Mr. Edward didn't finish me. ”

She was right, the full form should be covered with high-fidelity skin, not the shoulders and hip joints that are still spherical as they are now.

"As for the greatest legacy you're talking about, it's probably this thing."

She reached out and pulled away a mechanism on her stomach, exposing her entire ribcage to the two players, which was filled with countless dense pipes and gears, and a box with almost no gaps in Anasta's stomach.

"It's a perpetual motion machine made by Mr. Edward, a real perpetual motion machine."

"And a source of support for your activities?"

Anasta nodded:

"Since you have found it, then give it to you, this is the reward of those who find the treasure, I ......"

She showed a sad expression:

"Mr. Edward is dead, and I will always be a defective product, and I don't think he wants an imperfect work to remain in the world."

Unfortunately, I still have some books that I haven't finished......

"No, no, no, you're wrong."

Ann pointed to stop Anasta from trying to take the box out, and said:

"You turn around and look behind you."

The wall behind Anasta seemed to have some kind of paint that reacted to sunlight, and at this time, a row of golden flowers appeared in the setting sun.

'My most important and greatest treasure, Anasta, my daughter'

Some sort of liquid seemed to blur Anasta's vision for a moment, oddly enough, as Edward hadn't fitted Anasta with anything that would simulate the lacrimal glands.

[After the main quest is completed, you can choose to teleport immediately or automatically after 180 seconds]

"You are the real treasure more than the perpetual motion machine, remember the wording on that note?" She is still sleeping in my mansion until someone wakes her up'. I have 'awakened' you, Mr. Edward's greatest treasure, Miss Anasta."

Facing the sunset that broke through the dark clouds, An pointed and smiled, and then the two of them lit up with a white light representing transmission......
