Chapter 3185 3197 [Same Person] Monthly Ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Several people were stunned for a moment, and the program director suddenly realized something and said in surprise: "Do you know the meaning of that riddle?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "'The princess is obsessed with this, it's A, not B'... This line of words should actually be viewed in conjunction with the legend of Urashima Taro and this Ghost Turtle Island."
"'甲' refers to the turtle's shell, and '乙' refers to Princess Otohime of Ryugu Island. To put the riddle in common terms, it means that the princess is not in the sea, but on the island."
The program director wanted to carry 8 cameras to record this conversation, but at this point, he could only continue to hold his broken mobile phone and try to record: "I see! ... But in this case, who is the 'princess' referring to? Could it be the remains of Miss Xiaodu who was kidnapped by the gang?"
Jiang Xia: "'Princess' is not a real person, but the golden folding screen worth 200 million yen that was stolen by a gang of robbers four years ago. One of the robbers gave it the code name 'Princess'."
"When the robbers robbed the golden screen, they killed the mayor's maid. After the murder, they dared not sell the stolen goods, and they didn't know where to hide the screen.
"So in the end, the robbers had no choice but to put it in a waterproof box, then sealed it in a small wooden boat, tied a heavy huge anchor, and let the boat sink to the bottom near the island, hoping to wait until the storm passed before dealing with it."
"But a year ago, a typhoon hit the island and huge waves pushed the boat ashore."
"One of the kidnappers was very worried about the condition of Jinpingfeng and came to the island to check it out. But after he got to the island, his boat was unfortunately blown away by the typhoon."
"He was trapped on this uninhabited island and eventually starved to death. Before he starved to death, in order to let his fellow accomplices know that the screen was no longer in the sea, but was hidden in the woods after he picked it up, he deliberately carved the words 'The princess is obsessed with this, it is A, not B'
"His accomplices will surely understand that 'princess' refers to the golden screen, and as long as we use the legend of 'Urashima Taro' to decipher the second half of the sentence, the remaining robbers will surely be able to find the location of the screen."
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized: "No wonder the dead Miss Taira was so eager to dive as soon as she arrived on the island, and the captain has been detecting near her... I thought before that the captain was protecting her and preventing her from being washed away by the sea, but now it seems that they are using different methods to find the golden screen that they sank there before!"
Jiang Xia nodded and looked at the deputy captain: "The robbers' accomplices didn't understand what that sentence meant, but you did.
"Just at this time, you learned that Jiuzhou TV was planning to go to the island to hold a program. Because you have confirmed that the golden screen is still on the island, you guessed that the robbers would probably take this opportunity to go to the island to look for it.
"So you took the initiative to come to us and were hired as a temporary staff member, intending to use this opportunity to take revenge on the entire robber gang."
The first officer laughed stiffly. "Revenge? Not to mention that I have no connection with that group of robbers at all. Even if I really want revenge, how would I know who that mysterious group of robbers is? Am I going to randomly pick someone who looks like the robbers and murder him?"
Jiang Xia: "After the robbers arrived on the island, they must have taken the opportunity to look for the golden screen in the sea. After you found the suspicious person, you deliberately mentioned the legend of 'Urashima Taro' next to her.
"Miss Taira, who failed to find the golden screen in the sea, was greatly inspired and understood the meaning of 'it is A, not B'. So when she was free to move, she hurried into the woods to look for it. And you took the opportunity to follow her in and strangled her from behind."
"...So that's how it is." The first officer applauded. "That's a brilliant deduction, but there are many people who can do this. Why must it be me?"
Jiang Xia took a sip of the coconut he had just cracked open to moisten his throat. He felt a little sorry that there was no coffee or cola here. Then he continued, "Because you are the only one who would treat two different bodies so differently. Both were robbers. The captain was hanged on the railing with a bloody head. His body was beaten several times after death, while Miss Pingliang lay quietly on the beach and died quite peacefully."
"This is because when you were killing someone, you suddenly discovered something - the 'Miss Taira' with tanned skin and dyed blond hair was actually the mayor's daughter, Miss Koto, who was kidnapped by a gang of kidnappers five years ago."
Two high school girls: “?!!”
They thought of the fair-skinned, demure, and waist-length Miss Du in the father-daughter photo, and then thought of the dark-skinned, hottie-like Black Pearl. They suddenly felt a little magical: "They, they are the same person?"
…It seems that the only thing they have in common is that they are both very beautiful!
"Skin color, hairstyle, expression and makeup have a great impact on a person's appearance." Jiang Xia glanced at Curacao, "With just a slight change, he will look like a completely different person."
Curacao silently adjusted his ordinary black wig: "..." If I solve the case, then I solve it. Why are you looking at me?
Jiang Xia took another sip of coconut juice: "In other words, the 'mayor's daughter kidnapping incident' five years ago was actually just a self-directed and self-acted performance by Miss Xiaodu and outsiders."
"But...but Miss Xiaodu should be the mayor's only daughter, why would she do such a thing?" The program director never thought that the truth back then would be like this. He was a little confused for a moment, "Could it be that the mayor of Jincheng is very stingy and refuses to give her pocket money?"
Jiang Xia: "This starts with the words in the room. In this villa, there are many handwritings left by Miss Xiaodu when she was a child. For example, on the back of the three stools in the restaurant, there are different names written on them, 'I', 'Mom' and 'Uncle Jincheng'."
"From this address, Miss Xiaodu should not be the biological daughter of Mayor Jincheng, but the stepdaughter brought over by her mother after she remarried to Mayor Jincheng."
"Before the kidnapping, Mrs. Jincheng unfortunately passed away. Without her mother as a connection point, Miss Xiaodu felt very uneasy. I don't know whether she wanted a sum of money to guarantee her future life, or to test how important she was in her stepfather's heart, she finally came up with the idea of kidnapping herself."
The program director held his phone in his hand, his jaw dropping in shock, but now that he said that, it seemed that he had indeed heard similar gossip from his cousin.
