Chapter 561: The Greatest Treasure (19)
An Yizhi said that he was smart, and he could get a smart label far beyond ordinary people when he threw it into the Mensa intelligence test, and he had been blowing about this with Tu Hongyu and Lin Linglin for several years.
But from this copy, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient, especially when he saw the clues recorded in the notepad, he was very confused.
I thought that there would be some progress after the incident, at least he could get some new clues, but at present, it seems that he has not found any clues.
The questioning of the suspect was just to confirm the relationship between him and several of the guests, and by the way, to confirm some of his previous guesses, and that's it.
It stands to reason that this kind of copy system shouldn't be a clue-by-clue routine? In the end, let the player find the answer in the exhaustion.
But now there are few clues, and it can even be said that they are not connected at all.
This is not good news, even if you ask, you can't find any clues, which means that the system has listed all the clues needed to complete the main quest, as for whether the player has found it......
Hehe, it's my business.
Is there something missing?
An Yizhi couldn't help but think so, but the possibility was very low.
From An Yi's ability to scavenge this guy's equipment, you can see how carefully this thing searches, it is impossible for him to leave even a small clue, and Tu Hongyu is not the kind of stunned young man who is invincible, the place he explores is also very careful, and it is unlikely that he will leave something critical.
In other words, all the clues are written down in their notebooks, and how to connect them depends on their reasoning ability, or brain holes.
Sending away Anasta who wanted to investigate the case with them, the two players who questioned everyone frowned.
Normal dungeons shouldn't have such difficult puzzles, and that's how they are for temporary dungeons that always feel like difficulty.
Leave the murder case aside for a moment, and consider the existing puzzle at hand, which is the note found on the old count's corpse.
But I still couldn't see anything.
All the formulas written on this slip of paper are the multiplication formulas, such as 3X4, 5X7 and other calculation formulas that are simple enough to be used as homework for elementary school students, there are 16 in total. The only rule is that the multiplication equation does not involve the number 9.
No matter how bad the math level of these foreigners is, they won't use it as a puzzle, and it is unclear what the puzzle points to.
An Yizhi first wrote out the answers to these calculations and put them in his notebook, and then tried to see something from the 16 sets of numbers.
Coordinate? Impossible, no map. Replace numbers with letters? Still can't form words. An Yizhi's English score is poor, but Tu Hongyu's is good, he said that he can't form words, so he really can't.
"What's next?"
Tu Hongyu scratched his head irritably, he was a little overwhelmed.
"I really can't think of it, so let's walk around and see if I can find the scene of the crime, anyway, the crime must be in the house."
An Yizhi clipped the note back into the notebook, anyway, it was impossible to think of the answer if he sat here and thought about it, so it was better to move.
In reality, no case is completed by guessing and reasoning, and there is no case that has been solved with the consciousness of the police breaking their legs.
So don't take seriously the example of the protagonist in the general detective who can find out the truth with a few glances, the real policeman who solves the case is very hard.
But they really didn't have much to do but do it and see if they could find something new.
Leaving the room, they went back to the dining room, only to find that everyone except Charlie had gone to do something.
"Where did the others go?"
"Mary tidied up the kitchen and prepared some lunch, and Miss Anasta went to the recreation room to read, and I don't know about the others, sir."
Sure enough, is Mr. Edward's legacy more attractive than the old earl who has hung up......
Charlie stayed here only to cover the old earl who died in the glass walls of the concert hall with a large curtain, after all, it was still scary to see blood all over the floor.
Now that everyone has scattered throughout the mansion, even if there is any evidence left by the murderer, he is afraid that he will destroy it, and the two players are not in a hurry.
Commonly known as casual ......
They first went to the entertainment room to see if Anasta was there to prove that Charlie was lying, but the girl was still sitting on the sofa reading a super thick book as usual, not caring at all that there was a corpse in the concert hall not far from the door.
Should I say that she is bold or heartless......
Black tea + books, as long as there are these two, Anasta that girl is fearless, it's really wonderful.
"You don't seem to have much interest in treasure hunting?"
An Yizhi asked strangely, he had wanted to ask this for a long time. It was only because he promised not to ask questions unrelated to the homicide that he did not say it when he first questioned the suspect.
"Well, I'm really not interested."
Anasta turned a page of the book and said without raising her head:
"Those people don't know that most of Mr. Edward's property has been donated to the state and the school, and the rest has long since been transferred to my name, and now they are fighting for only this house."
After speaking, Anasta picked up the black tea:
"Mr. An, Mr. Tu, I am telling you this because I feel that you are also not interested in treasures, although I don't know the reason, but this is the reason why I am willing to confess to you."
The two looked at each other, Anasta really had a keen sense, and the player really didn't have much interest in the legacy, unless there was a bunch of equipment and skills in the legacy.
Anasta is very detached throughout the whole thing, perhaps due to the fact that she has already received a portion of Mr. Edward's inheritance.
"So, can you take me with you when you solve the case?"
As soon as the conversation turned, Anasta's detached temperament suddenly turned into a curious bear child, and the change was so great that An Yizhi had the illusion that this girl was not a split personality......
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Of course, two players can't bring her, not to mention anything else, it's very troublesome to pay attention to the system shield when chatting alone, not to mention that Anasta is very detached doesn't mean that she completely ruled out the possibility of being a murderer, people's hearts are separated from the belly, maybe there is a calculating and vicious heart hidden under her cute appearance.
It may not be appropriate to say that a girl is like this, but Ann is used to thinking the worst about strangers. That's probably why no girl wants to spend more than ten minutes with him......
The two say goodbye to Anasta and prepare to rediscover the mansion.
This time they decided to start exploring from the third floor, because there was something they cared about that had been ignored by An Yizhi.
The bell tower at the top.
From the outside, the great bell tower sat in the middle of the roof of the mansion, but there was no staircase or hole to go up to the third floor, and when the two servants were asked, they said they did not know how to go up, not even by ladder from the outside, and Mr. Edward did not tell them anything about the bell tower.
From this point of view, the bell tower is quite suspicious, perhaps where the treasure is located.
On the way, they saw Beric walking around the mansion with an umbrella through the window, probably just to see how to get up to the bell tower from the outside.
"Did you find anything over there?"
An asked.
"No, no clue at all."
The two stared at the ceiling and walls and wandered around the hallways on the third floor, completely oblivious to the mechanisms and secret doors leading to the bell tower.
This made the two of them very scratched, but the so-called carpet search means not letting go of anything, so they checked all the rooms on the third floor.
"This seems to be a lawyer's room."
Ann pointed open the door to a guest room as he asked about the smell of cologne that only found in lawyers.
"The lawyer's room, by the way, I remember that we saw the Countess and Buric cheating on each other, it should be this room."
"Well, there wasn't anyone in this room at the time."
At that time, because the two of them were inside, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu were not able to properly investigate in this guest room.
However, there was no luggage in the lawyer's room at all, and considering that everyone did not plan to stay in the mansion for a long time, it was normal to not bring luggage.
It's just that this room is much less valuable to explore, and An Yizhi thought he could find some clues from his personal belongings.
They rechecked the guest room, including the clocks at the bedside and on the walls, but found no mechanism.
The last room on the third floor that has not been explored has also been seen, and the two of them can only go downstairs to continue looking without locking them first.
There are four explorable rooms on the second floor, three of which are those of the old counts, Anasta and the university lecturer Berlik.
They first explored the rooms of the latter two, but again found no luggage or mechanism, and finally came to the old earl's room.
The Countess had brought some luggage, a suitcase full of clothes, but there were no clues worth telling.
"Lydia said that the old Earl had risen at four o'clock in the morning, and that she probably looked at this clock."
Tu Hongyu pointed to the bedside table and said.
An Yizhi glanced casually and didn't care.
But the next moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and two seemingly unrelated clues were instantly connected.
That's time.
Anasta said that the 'Guardian' would patrol the villa on time at three o'clock in the morning and follow the established route every day, and An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu saw the Guardian at about three o'clock in the morning when they were prompted by the system, which means that there is no doubt about the authenticity of this clue.
Well, this is a slight deviation from Countess Lydia's confession.
According to her confession, she said she heard the Guardian passing through the hallway around 4 a.m., a difference of almost an hour.
Why is that? Did she remember wrong?
It sounds like this is possible, after all, when people are sleeping in a daze, it is not so incomprehensible to see the wrong time, but perhaps......
She wasn't mistaken, she just said the wrong clock!
I don't know if you remember, when An Yizhi first arrived on the third floor, he once sped up the time of a clock in the corridor by more than half an hour......
