Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

The villa dinner starts at 5 o'clock, and you have to wait until 10:30 to eat. I don't know if it refers to Russian customs, because Russia has a long day and dinner is late.

It was still early, Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai visited the Lucia Pavilion under the guidance of the housekeeper.

The keys of the villa are all stored in the atrium hall, which is quite special and is said to be impossible to imitate, and all the spare keys are hung together with a metal ring, which is also locked on a special lock frame, and the key rope on the metal ring is also specially made. There is no knot itself, just a Prussian noose attached to the metal ring, and it cannot be easily cut.

Gao Cheng also took a special look at the strangely shaped metal circle. There is a section of the circle protruding outwards for hanging keys, which looks like a ping-pong bat.

As for the lock frame key used to lock the metal ring, it is kept by the housekeeper alone...

"Isn't this strange?" Gao Cheng looked at the old housekeeper who carefully took off the key ring, and wondered, "It's too strict, and there is no spare key for the lock frame, what if the key is lost on the housekeeper?" manage?"

"I'm afraid we can only destroy the entire lock frame." The butler smiled while holding his reading glasses, and handed the key ring to Gao Cheng for inspection. "Ms. Yamanouchi thought about it before, and tried to cut the rope tied to the key with pliers. , but as you can see, there is only a little humming left on the rope, almost unscathed...

"It is said that this kind of rope is woven from fine metal and carbon fiber. Its hardness is far beyond the average level. It may be stronger than this special metal ring. If you don't use very special tools, it should be impossible to cut..."

"Is it all fixed?"

Gao Cheng personally tried the key noose knot. It is a very common knot, that is, the rope circles around the metal rod, and the key passes through the rope circle. Usually mobile phone ornaments are tied like this, and the Prussian knot used for mountaineering is the same. Will go around a few more times.

But the key here is too long, and it can't go through the rope loop at all when it is put on the metal ring, and it can't be removed after trying for a while.

"That is to say, if there are gangsters, they can only destroy the lock frame?" Gao Cheng looked at the lock frame and asked.

"There is an alarm device inside, and it will emit a very sharp alarm sound. If someone really breaks the lock frame, it is impossible for us not to notice..."

The housekeeper, Tashiro, took the key ring and began to show Gaocheng and the others around the entire villa. This set of keys can unlock the door locks in all parts of the villa, from the atrium to the surrounding towers.

"This villa was originally a hotel built by a Russian businessman who settled in Japan in combination with his hobbies. He seemed to like this piece of land similar to the scenery of his hometown in Russia. I don't know when this Russian-style building full of Russian items The building was called the Lucia Pavilion, and it finally fell into the hands of Mr. Yamanouchi..."

The old housekeeper explained all the way: "Probably because there were quite valuable things in each room before, so the Russians who built this villa arranged the keys so tightly, but now the supplies in each guest room are only shipped from Russia later. Ordinary exotics from..."

Gao Cheng walked through several towers one after another. While admiring the panoramic view of the villa from the windows, he also took a good look at the various Russian-style paintings in the corridor.

I always feel that there are some secrets hidden in this Russian-style building, but looking at the housekeeper, it seems that he doesn't know.

I don't know if the deceased Hengsheng Yamanouchi understood, this place gave him a very bad feeling, and he and Xiao Ai have to be careful in the next few days.

Human nature is too fragile,

Everyone in this villa, even the client Koji Yasuda, may become an enemy.

Of course, it's best that nothing happens...

At night, before 10 o'clock, everyone had already gathered in the restaurant, waiting for the second video of Tsuneshin Yamanouchi. The sky outside the house was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain, but it never rained.

Not only is there no boat, but the telephone line has also been unplugged. The isolated situation of the Lucia Pavilion in the middle of the mountain lake makes several candidates feel a little depressed. On the other hand, they are full of enthusiasm for inheritance, and the desire for huge wealth is deep in their eyes. It can't be hidden, only the beautiful illustrator who is with the masked man looks very calm.

Standing by the window, Gao Chenggong couldn't help complaining when he saw Koji Takarata wiping his sweat from time to time.

Before coming here, he paid all kinds of compliments, but after arriving here, he didn't believe him very much.

"Will it rain?" Xiao Ai asked.

"It doesn't matter if it rains, the water level here is at its highest and we didn't reach the villa..."

Gao Cheng looked out of the window quietly, and suddenly the clock rang at 10 o'clock from the clock tower above. The lawyer who had been waiting for a long time, Daisuke, hurriedly took out the video tape and played it. The five candidates and the old housekeeper waiting beside him all cheered up.

"Hey, everyone in the quintet, are you comfortable staying in my Lucia Pavilion?" Yamanouchi Tsunesho's dying figure appeared on the TV in the restaurant, "Next, before the dinner starts, I will give you some encouraging messages... "

"First of all, Takashi Inukai, the first violinist, you are my good neighbor. As a young critic of mystery novels, I have had a lot of communication with you. Recently, I heard that your father's career failed, and even your five beloved hounds were pulled. Going to mortgage, really hurts, this time you must use your wisdom to unlock the code and pay off your father's debt..."

Inukai Takashi, who was pierced through the sore spot, changed his expression abruptly, lowered his head dripping with sweat, his body couldn't help trembling slightly, and remained silent.

Several other candidates looked at Takashi Inukai in surprise, followed by an ugly look on his face.

"The next is Kaoru Umezono who played the second violin. As my lovely junior, he was in huge debt due to an unfortunate car accident. As your senior, I feel very sorry. I hope you can get my inheritance. Fu Get rid of your insecurities and make the most of your writerly talents..."

"Then there is Kouji Takada of the cello, you are an excellent editor, many of my works are published because of you, I can't bear to see you suffer from the debts brought by the stock, for the sake of my wife who is still lying in the hospital bed, please be sure to Crack the code..."

"Youyuelaimeng of Viola, you tweeted my works and drew a lot of wonderful illustrations. I heard that you have to bear the huge medical expenses of my younger brother who drowned and became a vegetable. Don't worry, get my inheritance and treat my younger brother well. ..."

"Finally, Mr. Tadashi Kamikaze of the double bass, your sharp comments are the biggest motivation for me to create. Even I am very sorry that you divorced Mrs. Enai. I earnestly hope that you can use my inheritance to pay the high maintenance fee. ..."

Following the calm words of Hengsheng Yamanouchi who seemed to be encouraging, the atmosphere of the entire restaurant lobby changed. Except for Youyue Laimeng who couldn't see the expression, the others felt a feeling of anger from embarrassment. Caught white.

"boom--!"

The bearded male god Ming Zhongzhi shattered the wine glass, pointed at the TV tremblingly and cursed: "What is this?! This video... is dead and still come to play tricks on me? Yamanouchi!!"

Daisuke, the head of the young lawyer, was a little flustered, and quickly explained: "Mr. Shenming, Mr. Yamanouchi just wanted to encourage everyone..."

"Shut up! Can't you hear it?" Shenming Tadashi said angrily with sweat on his face, "This guy has always been like this before when he casually discloses other people's privacy on such occasions! He pretends to be dignified, but actually wants to use despicable means Go hit someone else!"

"Mr. Shenming..."

"I'm going back to my room! Tong Jiang brought my dinner!"

Shenming Tadashi fled angrily. Although the reaction of several other people was not so great, they also left one after another, saying, "I'm going back to my room too. I'll come back at 10:30 for dinner..."

"I'll go play billiards or something to change my mood..."

"Then I..."

Baotian Koji also wanted to leave, but Gao Cheng and Youyue Laimeng on the other side and the masked man didn't move, and sat back with a change of expression.

"Detective Kido," Kouji Takarata said shyly, "about the code..."

"Oh," Gao Cheng came back to his senses, "don't worry, I will crack it as soon as possible, and let you know if I find anything."

That is to say, the current hints may not be able to solve the puzzle in a short time. Solving puzzles is never an easy task. It is very important to find out the thoughts of the person who made the question, but the deceased Hengsheng Yamanouchi really Some are unpredictable.

It seems that Yamanouchi Tsunesho did not have good intentions in choosing Takarata Koji and others to be the heirs of the inheritance, and his words were full of malice.

Perhaps, Yamanouchi Hengsheng didn't intend to let these people get the inheritance at all.

If this is the case, think carefully.

Gao Cheng suddenly thought of the incident that happened in the Twilight Annex, the old lady directed the whole farce in the dark, and there was also a "commander" in the work "Lucia Doll Murder Incident" by Yamanouchi Tsunesho himself. character of……

No, Yamanouchi Hengsheng has indeed passed away, which has already been confirmed, otherwise the lawyer would not have initiated the inheritance procedure.

The key is what kind of puzzles Hengsheng Yamanouchi will arrange with malicious ideas...

"Boom!" Accompanied by a burst of thunder, the heavy rain still poured down, the entire lake was covered with water vapor, and the windows of the villa gradually blurred.

Youyue Laimeng who was sitting with the masked man couldn't help looking at Gao Cheng who was thinking.
