Chapter 604: Dusk Villa → Golden Villa
"..." Toru Amuro glanced at the cowboy detective and felt that this man's words were a bit exaggerated.
But on second thought, after the detective's acquaintances discovered that the detective who went to the "Twilight Villa" for a dinner had mysteriously disappeared, they would most likely ask the police for help or look for him themselves.
And now, there are so many detectives in the Dusk Villa, and their acquaintances, added together, can always be made up of more than a dozen or even dozens. Among these acquaintances, one person calls the police, two people call the police at the same time, three, four... Just arrange and combine them randomly, a hundred ways are enough, or even more.
So in the end, Toru Amuro did not comment on this somewhat boastful statement.
He looked at Jiang Xia, who was wearing Matsuda's shell. Jiang Xia was looking at the cowboy detective with a puzzled expression.
Amuro Toru took the initiative to explain:
"In fact, we didn't have to act out that scene just now. We just had to wait a little longer. Bai Ma used his eagle to send a distress message outside, and now the helicopter is almost here."
"Yeah, he didn't tell us earlier, causing us to lie on the ground for so long."
Ikumi Gunda brushed the dust off her body and sighed.
She looked at "Kurosawa" who proposed "acting", and then looked at the White Horse detective who concealed the information and indirectly contributed to the massacre drama, and said with a slightly condemning tone: "Master White Horse, you don't think acting is fun, so you cooperate with him."
...Speaking of which, although Bai Ba Tan looks elegant and calm, if you think about it carefully, he is still a little kid, and it is entirely possible that he will be attracted by some novel suggestions...
“…”
Bai Ma Tan was silent for a moment, carefully wiping the ketchup off his body.
He did find this impromptu real-life battle royale interesting, but, well, of course, that was not the reason why he concealed it.
"I'm sorry to let you participate in such a cruel play." The white horse detective had a calm face and a gentle expression, but his eyes were a little wandering. "It was because Watson was particularly disobedient today. So I was not completely sure at the time - it's always better to be prepared for both situations."
...his excuse is quite reasonable and well-founded.
Ikumi Qiangtian nodded reluctantly.
…
As the helicopter approached and landed in the large yard, the rumbling noise grew louder.
But after listening for a while, Amuro Toru felt that something was wrong - it seemed that it was not just the noise of the police helicopter, but there was also some other noise mixed in.
Jiang Xia didn't know much about police helicopters, but he had a deep understanding of the Golden Villa.
In addition, he was always paying attention to his surroundings, so he immediately noticed something unusual.
——In my impression, the gold watch on the wall, which is so valuable that an ordinary person can live a life without worries about food and clothing, is not the treasure itself, but just a key to open the treasure.
When this mechanism that has been hidden for many years is triggered, the outer shell of the entire Dusk Villa will crack and collapse, revealing the dazzling gold inside.
…
As the vibrations gradually intensified, the detectives soon realized that the "rumbling" sound was not caused by the helicopter.
"…Earthquake? It seems this building is earthquake-proof. But it's not safe to stay here for too long. Let's leave as soon as possible."
A group of people ran quickly towards the exit.
Jiang Xia followed them and planned to take a helicopter.
While looking up at the crumbling building.
But it shook for a long time without any progress, not even a piece of the wall fell off.
A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Xia's head.
...The progress of the collapse seemed to be much slower than he remembered?
He pondered briefly, then felt that he understood.
——Although it is not clear how the complicated scientific mechanisms in the annex work, the huge amount of gold mixed in the middle may be a key link. For example, its weight is needed to trigger the next mechanism... However, now, the weight of the gold is probably a little less than the designer expected.
Jiang Xia looked at the building, which was collapsing very slowly. As they approached the lobby from the restaurant, only some of the walls were slightly cracked: "..."
It won’t collapse until the end, and the gold will continue to be hidden inside.
He's already tired of digging...
And since "Uzo" has already appeared here, it would be inconvenient to continue stealing the gold from the boss's old house. Otherwise, if it is exposed, it is easy for the boss to make trouble for it... In short, since this place is no longer useful, it is better to put the gold to use as soon as possible and turn it into performance instead of letting it pile up here aimlessly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia secretly poked the ghosts on his body, intending to let them float around in the mechanism and find a key stress point that would be convenient for him to use the puppet clay.
Just then, there was a sudden snapping sound nearby - a piece of wall finally fell off.
Under the dim, swaying wall lamp, a golden light seeped from the wall.
The detectives, who had already turned the corner, were unable to see this.
But Jiang Xia, who was behind them, and Amuro Toru, who was even behind Jiang Xia, were attracted by the sound of falling wall paint and subconsciously looked over.
Then Jiang Xia noticed that Toru Amuro paused slightly - this intelligence officer seemed to be aware of the problem and obviously had some associations after seeing the golden light.
Jiang Xia: “…” It seems that the real “treasure” has been discovered.
He withdrew his gaze from the wall, kept crossing the corner, and asked the ghosts to keep a close eye on Toru Amuro.
At the same time, he secretly thought that if the biased boss only informed the police and ignored the organization boss, he would wait until no one was around and go over to say something like "Hi, Bourbon~" like Vermouth did. In this way, Toru Amuro should immediately stop his behavior that was not in line with "Bourbon" behavior.
However, just as Jiang Xia turned the corner and was cut off from view.
Amuro Toru, who was the last one to fall, looked back at the cracks and then looked at the courtyard from the side window. His mind was working rapidly, and he constructed a complete layout of the entire annex based on the route he had taken when searching the annex just now. Then he suddenly took out a pistol from his arms, put on a silencer, and under the cover of the increasingly loud sound of the building collapsing, he climbed out of the wall from the side window and fired a few shots from outside in the night.
Then he returned to the corridor as if nothing had happened, ran quickly forward and caught up with the team of detectives.
…
As the last person stepped out of the gate of the villa, the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, illuminating the mountains, forests and villa. Everything looked full of hope, as if indicating that this absurd "massacre" had ended.
A group of people quickly walked to the open space in the yard and boarded the helicopter sent by the police to rescue them.
The large helicopter took off with detectives of different interests at heart and headed towards the city.
At this time, Grandma Qianjian, who was near the window, looked down and suddenly stood up excitedly, as if she had seen some extremely shocking scene, and stuck close to the window.
