"In fact, about 40 years ago, a terrible tragedy happened here. I believe that all the famous detectives have noticed this the first time they stepped into this annex. That is, in this annex There was a lot of blood everywhere, in various forms.”

"That's because this annex once convened celebrities from all political and economic circles to hold a secret meeting here. On the surface, it was to express the memory of the former owner of the annex who passed away at the age of 99. However, In fact, it is an auction for all the art collected in the annex.”

"The collection at the time of the auction totaled more than [-] pieces, so the entire auction is expected to last three days and three nights."

"However, on a rainy night on the second night of the auction, two soaked men suddenly found the annex and hoped that the organizer of the auction could take them in for the night."

"The organizer of the auction originally refused them entry into the annex to take shelter from the rain, but the man took out a pack of items from his pocket, which contained items similar to cigarettes. The organizer quickly changed his mind after smoking their cigarettes. He accepted his wishes and warmly invited them into the annex."

"The other guests somehow accepted their temptation and started smoking the cigarettes they brought. However, after a while, the villa began to be filled with a strong smell of smoke."

He's quite good at playing, and it's okay to talk about ten kids in a group...

Qin Umbrella said comfortably.

The recording continues to play.

"Although some guests were still skeptical about the arrival of the two men, the situation suddenly changed after that."

"There was a man who started screaming without warning as if he had seen a ghost, dropped the artwork he had finally won through bidding, and ran outside."

"There was a woman who seemed to be begging for someone's forgiveness and knelt down and cried until her tears almost dried up."

"There was also a man who looked excited and picked up a pen and stabbed his wrist repeatedly."

"In the end, all the guests started to snatch the art works from the auction, and even started to kill each other with the famous knives and swords in the auction. The whole auction turned into a hell on earth."

"And after this nightmare night, eight dead people and a dozen unconscious guests were left in the auction venue, while those two men disappeared without a trace with all the art works."

The recording paused here. It seemed to be recorded in sections. After a blank period of more than ten seconds, it continued to play.

"Then now you should understand why I used this annex as the stage this time. The purpose is to let you detectives re-enact the tragedy that happened more than 40 years ago. I want to see you take away the treasure by force. The ugly act of robbing and killing each other!"

"However, it would be too difficult for you to hunt for treasure in such a big villa, so I will give you a hint."

"hint?"

Qin Xianshu leaned back tactically, with the expression of an old man using his cell phone on the subway.

Didn't you trick us into coming over to help you find it when you said you couldn't find it? Why are you now giving us hints?

are you crazy?

In the recording, the prompts sounded like prophetic poetry.

"The two travelers in a hurry looked up at the night sky, and suddenly the devil descended on the castle. The king took the treasure and ran away. The princess shed tears and prayed for mercy from the Holy Grail. The soldier was so angry that he killed himself with his sword and the color of the earth changed."

"Isn't this poem just..." Yukiko's expression changed slightly.

But Qin Xianshu slowly exhaled.

"Oh, I get it."

Chapter 160 I don’t know what to name the chapter, so I’ll just say Merry Christmas Eve

What do you know again...

This question flashed through everyone's mind.

This is not a weird thing on the Internet, but a question and curiosity from the heart.

In fact, ever since they met Qin Ushu, this high school detective from Chiba Sobu High School had always given them the impression of being out-of-the-box but surprisingly reliable.

In human terms, his reaction was quick. While everyone was still thinking about it, this guy had already directly reached the correct conclusion.

It's just as hateful as those people in school who were very expressive and always rushed to answer questions and pretend to be pretentious.

I think this time is no exception.

"What do you mean, Brother Qin, have you solved the puzzle yet?" Motegi Harushi asked uncertainly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the recording sounded again in the plastic head: "Listen carefully, no matter who among you finds the location of the treasure, you must go to the fourth floor of the central tower of the annex..."

"Okay, you shut up."

Qin Xianshu dipped the last half of the steak into the mushroom soup and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he reached out and violently pulled out the audio cable connected to the loudspeaker in the plastic head.

The recording then stopped abruptly.

I saw this guy gulping down the mushroom soup in the bowl and then wiping his mouth.

"Almost, I should say it's all there."

"All?"

"That's right." Qin Xianshu said calmly, "Whether it's the truth about the treasure or the host of this banquet, I've basically figured it out."

"Oh?" Dashang Zhushan made a questioning voice.

"First of all, it's about the story told in the recording just now. Just listen to the picture and have fun. Don't think too much, it's fake."

Qin Xianshu turned to the side to make some space for the maid who was holding a coffee pot and making coffee one after another, and said in a calm voice.

"Ms. Gunda, who has been a coroner, should know the maximum amount of bleeding a normal-sized adult can have. There are blood stains everywhere in the annex, such a large amount of bleeding and such a wide range. It’s definitely not something that eight dead people can do.”

"Unless you cut off people's limbs and scatter them everywhere." Gunda Ikumi added.

"That's right." Qin Uanshu snapped his fingers, "The truth is that the previous owner of this villa specially summoned a large number of scholars to this villa in order to find the treasure left to him by his mother before he died. But because he was old and the scholars could not find the treasure for a long time, the anxious rich man killed all the scholars one by one with extremely cruel methods."

"But how do you know this, little brother Qin?" Motegi Harushi asked doubtfully.

"That's a really good question, so let me ask you a question as well." Qin Shanshu tilted his head slightly, "This annex was the scene of a shocking tragedy. Why was there no relevant report at all at that time? Outflow?"

"Of course it's because..."

Motegi Harushi subconsciously paused mid-sentence.

"Because the news was suppressed." Qin Uanshu finished for him, "No matter what the reason is, the prerequisite for the news to be suppressed is that someone knows, so naturally I have my own news channel~ "

"Is it that Yukinoshita?" Yukiko said coldly next to her.

"Is this..."

Qin Xianshu took a sip of coffee and changed the topic a little stiffly.

"You can take a guess. The organizer of this party called us here because he couldn't find the treasure. But now he wants to give us a hint. Why is this?"

"Could it be that..." Dashang Zhushan's expression changed.

"Perhaps a scholar did indeed find the treasure 50 years ago, but for some reason, the scholar did not reveal the location of the treasure directly, but wrote a prophetic poem." Yukiko said.

"That's right." Qin Uanshu crossed his fingers and rested his elbows on the table. "I think it was probably because the scholar knew that he would not be able to escape the fate of being killed even if he found the treasure, so he made such a choice. It’s better to lose than to lose alone.”

"The truth about the treasure you mentioned before, Brother Qin..." Motegi Harushi said hesitantly.

"Oh, that's probably what I said wrong." Qin Xianshu said casually, "I do know where the treasure is and how to open it, but I don't know the specific content of the treasure. But based on the most optimistic scenario, the value of the treasure should far exceed that of this annex a hundred times a thousand times."

"Thousand...thousand times!?"

Apparently they had just had dinner, but there were sounds of swallowing in the restaurant, and they came and went one after another.

"I know you all want to know, but -"

Qin Xianshu suddenly revealed a nasty smile.

"If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown."

"Uh……"

After saying that, he stood up slowly under the astonished eyes of everyone, stretched out and moved his body on the spot.

"Don't worry, I will tell you when I come back later. Now I have to go to the suspension bridge to check the situation and see if it is really broken."

"I, I'll go too!" Zhu Shan stood up immediately.

"And me!" Then came Ikumi Gunda.

"Then I'll go too." Motegi Harushi drank the coffee in the cup and stood up slowly.

"Since we all want to go, let's go together."

In the end, even Senjian Yoyo stood up from his chair.

"There is no need for so many people." Qin Xianshu was a little helpless, "You are still worried that I will just run away. If I don't come back, it means that the suspension bridge is not blown up, so that everyone can leave, and even if I come back and tell the truth about the buried treasure, The location has nothing to do with you, wake up, this villa belongs to someone else."

"That sounds like... yes." Gunda Ikumi reacted.

"What should we do?" Motegi Harushi asked.

"Easy, just flip a coin."

Qin Ushu smiled mysteriously, took out six coins from his pocket, and threw them one by one.

When everyone has received their coins, he begins to explain the rules.

"Wait for the one with the face facing up to come with me. If the face is facing up, stay in the annex... Then three, two, one, let's go!"

With a crisp sound, six coins flew high and then fell again.

Everyone showed the coins in their hands, and the result was that Qin Yushu, Yukiko and Senjian Yudai had the denomination face up, while Gunda Ikumi, Motegi Haruji and Ohgami Shuzen had the design face up.

"Then, please wait here for our good news."

At the entrance of the annex, Qin Shu, who took an umbrella from the umbrella bucket and held it up, opened the door and stepped out with one foot. The cold wind and rain immediately penetrated in from the outside.

Next to them, Yukiko and Senjian Yudai also held up the umbrellas they brought.

So the three of them left the annex.

Although there is asphalt paving the road, it is in this forest after all. It is inevitably muddy on rainy days, coupled with the roaring wind, the forest trees on both sides of the road are swaying, and the black tree shadows are like the minions of the devil. People can't help but feel that they are back to the place they were 50 years ago. Rainy night.

After walking slowly on the mountain road for a while, Qin Ushu suddenly stopped.

In the darkness, he looked back at Senjian Yoyo, who was following him and Yukiko without saying a word along the way. The expression on his face was more like mockery than a smile.

"Ms. Qianjian, are you sure you want to continue pretending?"

Chapter 161 Yukiko’s great victory

"Ms. Qianjian, are you sure you want to continue pretending?"

In the wind and rain, Qin Sanshu suddenly stopped and said, with a particularly mocking expression on his slightly turned face.

Yukiko also stopped. She looked at Qin Ushu, then at the silent Senjian Yoyo who was walking behind, without saying anything.

She has never been the stereotyped silly and sweet heroine in TV series, so situations like some classic emergency moments where she is pestered for an explanation will never happen to her.

"Pretending? Why should I pretend? Brother Qin, what are you talking about?" Qian Jian pretended not to understand.

"Ah……"

Qin Ushu sighed softly. He turned around and faced Qian Jianjiangdai completely.

"Detective Qianjian, I'm going to give you one last chance. Do you want to admit it honestly, or do you want me to take off your panties myself?"

"Usamashu, you actually want to take off my old lady's panties...ugh!" Yukiko couldn't help but say something, expressing that she couldn't accept it.

"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, little brother Qin, but since you have something to say, I am naturally all ears." Qian Jian's expression remained unchanged.

"Okay, what you said."

Qin Xianshu nodded. He spoke slowly and slowly, but the words he spoke were like thunder on the ground.

"I'll just tell you, the remote control of that portable walkman is on your body, right?"

"..."

This time, Qianjian Shengdai did not refute.

Qin Xianshu did not press the question, but further said: "You think you hide it naturally, but in fact it is not the case. At least as far as I observed, during the entire dinner, except for the moment of eating, your hands were always on your hands." They are all placed under the table.”

"Is it too much to assume that I'm the host of the party just because I put my hand under the table, old lady..."

"Of course it's more than that."

Qin Xianshu interrupted her directly, and then pointed at his face.

"Have you paid close attention to the changes in your expression?"

"What do you mean?" Qianjian Shengdai remained calm.

"I mean, you probably didn't notice it yourself, but I did. I know this has nothing to do with reasoning. But even though I was born in the wild, I don't pursue everything based on reasoning."

Qin Xianshu explained unhurriedly: "You have too many flaws. When I was in the lounge, when I mentioned that the organizer had reasons to do this, everyone else's expressions were... 'Fuck, that's what happened', only your expression was 'Fuck, how could he know'."
