Chapter 175: The Library
Of course, just based on such a few clues, I suspect that the three people just mentioned are indeed a bit arbitrary, after all, the suspension bridge has not been broken at this time, and there is still a possibility that outsiders can steal in. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, almost all detective novels are described in this way, there are no examples of crimes committed by outsiders, and the benchmark for system-generated copies is borrowed from works that already exist in reality, so Yasu's suspicions are not unreasonable.
At first glance, the house looks calm, but like the torrential rain pouring outside, it is actually a torrent, but all the action is hidden beneath the surface, and only the clues captured so far can be 100% sure that something will happen soon.
As for blocking ......
Why block?
The player's life is not in danger, at most it is just a failure to clear the dungeon, and the main quest does not mention stopping it. The two players purely played with the mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking that it was too much of a deal, and besides, only if something happened could the main quest be further updated, they were now searching for clues everywhere not to prevent problems before they happen, but to hope that they could be solved more easily after an accident.
Well, by the way, look for side quests.
Judging from the habit of systematically arranging dungeons, it is impossible to understand that there are some supernatural powers in this seemingly scientific dungeon, and the existence of such things is likely to get good equipment and skills.
For example, in the last dungeon, although An Yizhi didn't get it, he got a lucky golden bell from the original grass on the grass, don't look at the significance of increasing luck, it may affect the explosion rate. In this way, the effect of the lucky golden bell is fantastic.
Seeing that the two of them were thoughtful, the butler Starr showed excellent professional butler qualities, he did not make a sound to disturb, nor did he say goodbye, but just maintained an elegant and upright standing posture and waited patiently.
"Can you take us to the study? I'm a little tired and want to read a book to pass the time."
"No problem sir, come this way, please come with me"
"Ah, I'm not going, I still want to go"
Tu Hongyu opened his mouth and said, An Yizhi knew that he wanted to look for clues or something, after all, the old mansion was also two stories high, and such a large area might hide some useful clues.
"Need to be accompanied? I can show you around later."
"No, no, I'm just going around"
There is no way to search freely with a housekeeper, but if the housekeeper follows, you can sometimes ask him for a set of words, which can be said to have advantages and disadvantages.
"The old house is preparing for dinner......"
"Don't worry, I won't bother"
"Okay, forgive me for talking too much, Mr. An, please here"
An Yizhi followed the old housekeeper in the direction of the new mansion, while Tu Hongyu opened the door of the old mansion and began to explore, and the two were temporarily separated.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The old house is said to be an old house, but it looks like the decoration is no worse than the new house, and with the sense of heaviness brought by the precipitation of time, it is more magnificent than the new house.
Maybe it's because there are only two floors that aren't imposing? After the owner of this place made a fortune, he built a new three-story mansion with a higher floor.
Tu Hongyu was lying on the wooden handrail railing on the second floor, it should be said that the quality of the railing was really good, and Tu Hongyu's weight of 0.16 tons was not broken.
Below him, two servants were busy cleaning up the table, setting the dishes, wiping the surroundings. In this era, the more wealthy and powerful people are, the more they pay attention to the etiquette of hospitality, and it is an unforgivable mistake for the chairs made for guests to have dust, so these two servants are busy with their feet not touching the ground.
There are a total of one male and one female servants, considering that there may be one or two people in charge of cooking in the kitchen, plus the number of servants in the old housekeeper's mansion is between 4~6 people.
Honestly, there are too few people.
The new house and the old house, adding up to a total of 5 floors, dozens of rooms, a total of only so many people live here, just the problem of cleaning will make these servants busy vomiting, in terms of a house of this size, there should be a team of more than 10 servants.
Maybe the owner here is a Grande? Not willing to spend more money to hire people?
The number of servants was a small problem, which did not attract much attention from Tu Hongyu, and the main thing that attracted his attention was the chandelier above the restaurant.
This was supposed to be the main entrance hall of the old house, but after the new house took on the role of the front door hall, it became the owner's dining room, and the original layout of the hall has hardly changed, except for a large long dining table.
So the chandelier hanging on the restaurant is still the old-fashioned chandelier that needs to be put down with a winch mechanism to change candles, which makes Tu Hongyu unable to figure it out.
The lights in the new house were all electric, and he didn't have any suspicions at first, but then he woke up suddenly when he saw the chandelier.
In such a deep mountain and old forest, where does the electricity come from?
This is not modern, only where there are people there are wires. In the seventies and eighties, many small towns did not necessarily have electricity, let alone such a remote mountain pavilion.
The source of the electricity can be explained by the fact that the owner had the money to lay a power line from the local government at his own expense, but this does not explain why the number of servants is so small, and if he is generous enough to take a separate line, he should not care about the salary paid by two more servants.
Naturally, it is also possible that they have diesel generators or something, Tu Hongyu can't remember what year the diesel generator appeared, maybe it is the age in the copy.
Even if the source of electricity can be explained in this way, why is it that all the lights in the old house are electric except for the large chandelier in the dining room? Now that it's been electrified, why not replace the old-fashioned candle chandelier with electric light? It's just nostalgic, and there's no need to keep it in one place.
There's a problem with the chandelier!
Tu Hongyu walked around the old mansion for half an hour, and the most suspicious place he found was this chandelier.
However, he didn't know that the place he had suspected for a long time was actually not a problem......
Pull out the system menu and look at it, the time points to 5:30 p.m., assuming that the dinner party starts after 6 o'clock, there is not much time left for players to move freely to gather intelligence, he decided to go to An Yizhi to meet, and by the way, talk about chandeliers.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
An Yi pointed here to follow the old housekeeper back to the new house, he thought that the old housekeeper would take him to the entertainment room, but he didn't expect to lead him up to the third floor and to a gate.
"The owner is a well-known book collector, and I am usually in charge of organizing this library, so I am sure to find any book you want to read."
"Is it okay to use it casually?"
"Please don't worry, the master has commanded that all the rooms in this house are unconditionally open to the guests, except for one point, you don't disturb the master's work, he is in the room on your left"
On the left-hand side of the library is a large room with double doors, which should be about the same size.
"What's next door?"
"Oh, there is the owner's newly built music appreciation room, the owner likes to listen to music, hates the irritable and cluttered environment, the room uses the latest sound-absorbing materials, and it is very quiet inside. The host occasionally works in it, so please don't go there as well"
An Yizhi nodded, saying that he had never seen the owner here, could this thing be dead? I heard that the room where the sound-absorbing materials were made could not even scream.
But even if he had the heart to explore, he couldn't go to see it, at least not now, and after the old butler took him to the library, he stood at the door like a nail, and had no intention of leaving.
An Yizhi, who came as a guest, couldn't talk about it, so he could only go to the library first, and as for the master bedroom and the music appreciation room, he could only wait for the opportunity to explore.
Although the name is called the library, the number of books in it is almost as large as that of a small library, and as soon as you enter the door, you will see bookshelves as high as the ceiling, neatly clinging to the walls, almost filling the large room.
Ann pointed to the left-hand bookshelf, which focused on poetry and mythology, where he saw many familiar thinkers and poets, such as Pushkin, Shelley, Nietzsche, etc.
Myths and stories are also available from Norse mythology to Greek mythology, and what surprised An Yizhi was that he actually saw a thread-bound Book of Mountains and Seas here, and even the myths and stories of the Celestial Empire can be seen that the owner here has a wide collection.
These books are not only famous by the authors, but also the books themselves are priceless, if you read it correctly, the Bible should have been the first edition, and the collection value is self-evident.
However, these things are all decorations without exception, and the system does not provide them with translation services, which is not the clue that An Yizhi is looking for.
He glanced at the names on the spine of the book, and if he didn't have a name, he had to pull it out and make sure that there was nothing special before putting it back, which greatly slowed down his search, and with the number of books here, it was impossible to read all the titles before dinner, let alone search carefully.
If there were clues in the library, the system would not have arranged such an inefficient and stupid way for players to find them.
The length of time for a copy is limited, generally between 4~12 hours, and it takes a long time just to search such a library, which fundamentally violates the principle of copy setting.
So, after looking at the bookshelves for a while, he gave up searching like a needle in a haystack and instead sat down on the couch in the center of the room and looked around the room.
Gradually, he noticed something unsightly or strange.
Visually, the shelves in this library are arranged around the wall, and all the bookshelves should be parallel or perpendicular to the wall, but An Yizhi found that some of the bookshelves were not placed in a straight line, but had a slight angle.
The angle is very subtle, neither visually noticeable, but not too slight, if it weren't for the occasional sense of disobedience, An Yizhi almost ignored the past.
He stood up, his eyes closed, and touched the edge of the bookshelf with his hands, using a som-sensory method to detect which one was tilted.
This method is effective, and there are countless tricks to deceive the eyes, compared to the somatosensory feeling is more accurate.
Soon, he found two bookshelves that had been tilted at an angle, these two bookshelves were opposites, and the other bookshelves, although they were also slightly tilted, were far worse than these two bookshelves, more like angles that had to be posed for camouflage.
Found the location, can ...... How do you see what's hidden behind a bookshelf?
