Chapter 599 Congratulations on your survival (Monthly Ticket Plus)
Toru Amuro listened to the cowboy detective's analysis and nodded.
Then he looked at the empty computer screen, took the mouse, and clicked to check: "It doesn't say where the treasure is, and there is no record of sending the answer. Maybe Miss Qiangtian didn't find the truth, but just wanted to come to the control room to check the situation, and then unfortunately was stabbed by the poison needle on the inside of the door handle when she left..."
"Oh, are you going to keep pretending?" The cowboy detective did not follow his reasoning.
When Toru Amuro was concentrating on the computer with his back to him, he suddenly took out a pistol, loaded it, and pointed the gun at Toru Amuro.
Almost at the same time, Toru Amuro turned around as if he was prepared, and there was a gun in his hand - this was certainly not the one he usually used, but a "special weapon for mutual killing" he found in the guest room.
Two grown men, with sullen faces, faced each other in the middle of the room, with swords drawn.
The cowboy detective looked at Amuro Toru's alert face, snorted coldly, and made up a reasonable reason to shoot:
"Everyone else is dead. The only ones left are you, me, and two passers-by who are not detectives. I have no problem, so the mastermind must be among you.
"Ms. Qiangtian was stabbed by the poison needle, which means she closed the door when she came in. So when she left, she held the handle on the inside of the door and was unfortunately hit by the poison needle installed on it. If she just wanted to check the situation in this control room and find the hiding place of the organizer, she didn't need to enter the room, let alone close the door after entering the room.
"That is to say, she must have found the answer, so she planned to enter it here. But you actually said that there is no trace of the answer being entered into the computer..."
…
When two people are in a tense stalemate.
Around them, ghosts were busy working.
Tonight, among the actors that Jiang Xia had high hopes for, Kid, Hakuba Tan and the maid did not show any murderous intent at all.
Before pretending to shoot, Ikumi Gunda did emit a little bit of smell, but it was the smell of formaldehyde that could compete with the murderous smell of disinfectant of Asai Makoto... This made the ghosts who had followed them all the way very disappointed.
…
Fortunately, the two people in the control room made it worthwhile for the ghosts to wander around the annex for so long - Toru Amuro had a faint scent of coffee, and the Cowboy Detective actually smelled like black pepper steak.
Xiaobai buried his head in a murderous aura, tears of emotion almost flowing out of the corners of his mouth.
…
The two reliable adults faced off like duelists for a while.
After a while, the confrontation that seemed short but felt very long finally ended, and victory was decided in a moment.
Bang--
A gunshot rang out in the silent room, and Toru Amuro staggered backward as if he was hit in the face by a bullet.
He glanced at his clean clothes and reluctantly broke the ketchup packet hidden inside.
As the "blood" flowed, he slipped weakly against the table, fell to the ground, and died quietly.
On the other side, the cowboy detective retracted his gun and blew away the invisible gunpowder smoke from the muzzle.
——By now, his companions were dead, his enemies were dead too. Apart from two insignificant passers-by, he was the only winner left.
When everything was settled, the cowboy detective took out a cigarette and lit it lonely.
Then he walked to the computer and planned to check the answer entered by Ikumi Gunda.
But at this moment, the cowboy detective suddenly reached out and grabbed his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
——In order to poison the food detective who loved to chew his fingers, Grandma Qianjian coated everyone's teacup handles with poison.
In other words, theoretically speaking, the cowboy detective's thumb was also stained with potassium cyanide at this time.
Use this hand to hold the cigarette butt and put the cigarette into your mouth.
...The last detective also unfortunately "died of poisoning".
…
As the cowboy detective fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.
In the secret room, among countless surveillance cameras, the old woman closed her eyes, pinched her nose, and shook her head in disappointment.
...In the end, no one entered the answer about the treasure into the computer.
…
Qianjian Jiangdai held his throbbing forehead and wondered what to do next.
At this moment, she saw a flash in the corner of her eye - on the surveillance screen, in the room where three corpses were displayed, something was moving.
She was startled and raised her head suddenly.
Then, a person appeared silently in the control room.
——Kurosawa seemed to have finally recovered from his "headache". He walked to the door of the control room and looked at the body on the ground. He seemed to be greatly shocked by this heroic scene and had to press his forehead and lean against the door to relax.
Then he stood up again with difficulty, as if he didn't want to believe this result, and walked to the three "corpses" to check their breath one by one.
And stopped for a little longer next to Toru Amuro and the Cowboy Detective.
“……?” Qianjian Jiangdai was a little confused.
But on second thought, maybe Kurosawa felt that compared to a slender woman like Gunda Ikumi, Amuro Toru and the cowboy detective looked more resilient and might have a chance of surviving, so he didn't give up and kept exploring for a while longer.
Of course, in the end, the miracle of resurrection did not happen.
Chikan Kyouyo saw that on the surveillance screen, Kurosawa seemed to have finally accepted the result of no one surviving, and shook his head helplessly. His expression seemed a little sad, but the degree was very slight, as if he was watching a play that ended in tragedy through the glass.
Afterwards, the passerby who was lying last turned his head to look at the computer, thought for a moment, pulled out the stool in front of the computer desk, and sat down.
He reached for the keyboard and typed slowly.
Along with the sound of keyboard jumping, a line of words appeared synchronously on the computer in the secret room:
[I just thought about it for a while and I roughly understand what the treasure is all about - do you want to listen to my layman's reasoning?
If you can, please come to the restaurant. The fluorescent screen makes me dizzy. It's too long to type this out.]
“…”
Granny Qianjian frowned and looked at the screen, somewhat hesitant.
Leaving the secret room and going to the restaurant to meet other people means that she will lose her disguise of her identity and take off her safe protective shell.
but……
She looked at the young man on the screen who was so weak that he seemed like he would die suddenly in the next second, and then thought about what he said. She felt that the problem should not be serious.
——Some of Kurosawa’s actions are indeed a bit strange, one of which is that he insisted on wearing sunglasses late at night.
Before, Qianjian Jiangdai just thought it was a strange trend among young people.
But now, I think back to when Kurosawa suddenly became dazed after reading the fluorescent words on the piano in the piano room; then I think about what he just said on the computer, "Fluorescent things make me dizzy"... In addition, it seems that I have never seen Matsuda use a mobile phone.
...Taking all these circumstances into consideration, Kurosawa probably did not lie - these fluorescent objects in his field of vision might indeed be the cause of his illness.
