Chapter 595: Kind Uzo

After persuading them for a while, seeing that the detectives were still on edge, Kurosawa sighed sadly:

“When we searched the annex just now, we didn’t find any suspicious people, which doesn’t really mean anything—the organizer may have noticed our movements and hid in the mountains in advance.

"Also, we were a group of people just now conducting the investigation, and this villa covers a large area. The host, who is familiar with the terrain, can definitely play hide-and-seek with us... Well, instead of arguing, why not lock all the doors and windows first, and then search again. This time we can at least split into two teams and start searching from several different directions."

In a dim secret room.

Granny Chijian looked through the screen at Kurosawa, the "terminally ill patient", who was trying hard to mediate the fight, and her eyes softened a little: It turned out that people who are about to die have a different mentality from those ordinary people who are full of desires.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless - the fuse had already been lit for two lives, and it was impossible to stop. If Kurosawa continued to block it, he would only become a victim among this group of people...

However, he had been planning to commit suicide. It was better to have so many detectives buried with him and experience a dramatic death than to die alone in the mountains. Thinking of this, the aching conscience of Grandma Qianjian suddenly became less painful.

"..." Speaking of which, judging from the "proposal" that Kurosawa made in the hall, it was indeed a right decision to agree to let this young man take a ride.

Because suggestions made by outsiders will only make things worse.

——In a situation like the current one of mutual suspicion, if everyone acts in unison, then even if there are suspicions, because they can always see each other, the suspicions will be limited to a certain extent because “seeing is believing”.

But once they dispersed and lost each other's sight...

The human imagination is extremely powerful, especially in such tense and life-threatening moments.

After they separate, since they can't see what the other party is doing, the detectives' suspicions will only continue to grow... Eventually, someone will take some radical self-defense actions to protect themselves, and those actions will once again become the spark that ignites panic in others, eventually turning it into a sea of ​​blood and burning all the lives here.

...In a tense situation involving life and death, some people's minds would go blank. But this group of detectives is different. They should be able to awaken their potential and solve the mystery of the treasure at the critical moment when the deadline approaches...

Of course, for Granny Qianjian herself, what she most hopes for is that the detectives can leave the secret of the treasure on the ground like writing a death message before they are forced into a desperate situation... According to the habit of detectives, if they solve the mystery but can only die with the answer, it will be extremely painful. In this way, she won't have to do it anymore...

Under the thoughtful gaze of Grandma Qianjian.

In the monitoring screen.

In the hall, the detectives, who were much younger than Grandma Qianjian and relatively "inexperienced", seemed unable to foresee the dangers of acting separately.

It seemed like they didn't want to act with any suspicious people in the first place, but when they heard Kurosawa's suggestion, they nodded in agreement and began to form their own groups.

…

In the hall.

Jiang Xia, wearing the alias of "Kurosawa Sa", performed an impromptu mediation.

Afterwards, seeing that the detectives "accepted the suggestion" and walked away in twos and threes, he also picked a direction at random and walked towards the corridor on the side.

I had just taken two steps when I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.

When he turned around, he saw Toru Amuro and "Jiang Xia" following him, as if they had naturally formed a group with him.

“…”

Jiang Xia thought of the ubiquitous surveillance and nodded at them like a hospitable good person.

Then three people formed a team and began to search the villa carefully.

…

After searching every room, they still couldn't find where the "organizer" was hiding.

Halfway through the search, after pushing open a wooden door in the middle of the corridor, the three emotionless search machines paused for a moment.

——Unlike the guest rooms that were furnished with a few sets of furniture, this room did not have the usual sofas or other furniture, but instead had an eye-catching grand piano. This seemed to be a piano room.

The three of them were slightly startled, turned on the lights, and instead of just glancing away and passing by as they did before, they went into the house to take a look.

"Staging a drama of slaughter" is, of course, the main goal at this stage.

But at the same time, there is another important thing - treasure hunting.

...Everyone is curious, especially a part-time detective and thief.

Toru Amuro and Kidd are also curious about the "treasure" in this annex that has killed countless people.

According to experience, the key to solving the puzzle is often hidden in special rooms like this one.

…

Not long after entering, I indeed gained something.

Jiang Xia walked to the piano and seemed to want to press a key out of habit.

But after stretching out his hand, he suddenly said "Hmm?", paused his fingers slightly, and turned to the other side.

——At one end of the piano, between the two keys, there was an old, yellowed piece of paper.

Jiang Xia picked up the brittle paper and carefully unfolded it to examine it.

Amid the rustling sounds, the two temporary teammates nearby noticed his new discovery, and they came closer and looked over.

I saw a few familiar words written on the paper.

This is the tip the organizer gave them just now:

[Two travelers look up at the sky at night, and the devil descends on the castle; the king flees with the treasure, the princess pours tears into the Holy Grail, begging for forgiveness, the soldier draws his sword and commits suicide, and the blood stains the ground]

“…”

Amuro Toru raised his hand, stroked the paper, and then moved closer to sniff it. "It looks like it has been weathered by nature. It has been there for a long time. It seems that the 'hint' given to us by the organizer is actually something left by our predecessors. The organizer couldn't figure it out himself, so he threw it to us intact."

Kidd, who was dressed as Jiang Xia, felt the same way and wanted to laugh at the old lady hiding behind the scenes.

But think about it now, he is wearing Jiang Xia's skin. According to Kidd's rough investigation, Jiang Xia rarely makes similar moves...

He finally swallowed his words silently, just nodded slightly, politely agreeing with the boss next to him.

…

Although new clues were found, they had already received these hints at the dinner party, so not much progress was made on the treasure hunt.

Amuro Toru and Kidd were planning to look around again. If there were no new clues, they would go to the next room and continue searching.

However, before he could take any action, he saw "Kurosawa" looking away from the paper.

Then he thought for a moment, walked around to the side of the piano, and looked at the piano lid from another angle:

"There's a wet spot here, and it's not moldy. It doesn't look like water stains that have accumulated over the years... It should be that someone else came here just now and sprayed something on it."
