Chapter 181: Calculation step by step
"What do you mean?" Her voice had cooled, and there was a hint of panic in the quiet underground chamber at this time.
I smiled silently, Si Tianzhe was already sitting on the sofa next to me, and I also walked to the desk and sat down.
"You want to say that you have something to do with Mr. Hill. Am I the one who dyed? She finally couldn't hold it back.
"Where, that's just speculation, and even Mr. Hill's diary isn't enough to prove anything, is it?" Instead, I took a step back and changed my words, "There are so many people in the world who call Shirley, not necessarily you." ”
This time, she was silent, as if she was trying to figure out my intentions at this time.
"But aunt, it's this kind of rumor that seems to be true and false, half evidence and half speculation, that is more likely to arouse people's inquiring psychology, once it is spread, it will spread rapidly and endure." I cast a killer weapon lightly.
"You—" She was really anxious, but she immediately steadied herself, "as if it were true, what so-called diary, so-called evidence, is just a fabrication, a bluff by you, do you expect anyone to believe it?" What's more, my friendship with Mr. Hill was very ordinary, and if you want to know the secrets of the Hill family from me, I'm afraid you're looking in the wrong direction. ”
I had long expected that if I wanted to completely break through her defense, I couldn't do it without showing some real evidence.
I said quietly, "'It's been a cold winter, Thorn. 'Will you stay here longer?' ''It doesn't seem like it'......'"
At this moment, the other end of the earpiece fell completely silent. I'm not in a hurry, though, because it's not hard to guess how she's reacting, even if it's only a few words. It's enough to bluff her for the time being.
"How's that, familiar?" I didn't hesitate to break the silence, "This is just the beginning, there's a lot more to come, do you still want to listen?" Thank God that even though the same name doesn't indicate that 'she' is you, Auntie, it does reveal other interesting information between the lines. For example, this conversation took place on the day of the inauguration of the second building in the United States, and the guests who attended the meeting were recorded by the family. Aunt Shirley came back in a hurry, right? ”
I paused and made up for the last slash, "Clues like this are intended. It's not hard to find out the connection between you and the heroine. I think that the elders of the family are all shrewd and discerning people, and what I can still deduce, they will be able to get the truth without bothering. The city is full of turmoil, what do you think they will do? After all...... No. What an inadmissible shame for the family. ”
"No, I don't believe it...... It's not true......" she muttered, apparently losing her composure. But it's not as firm as it was just now.
I don't need to say anything anymore, the stakes are all clear. Now it's up to her to choose.
"What do you want?" She stabilized her emotions and said in calm and warm words.
"I've told you about the most hidden secret room in Hill Castle, and how to open it."
"Okay, I can tell you, but you'll have to give me all the evidence, and now—I'll confirm the evidence before I get what you want." She began to negotiate terms with me.
"Sorry, that's not going to work." I refused, "I don't have the patience to wait for you to fly over from London." ”
"Then there's nothing to talk about, how do I know you're not going to spread this out as soon as you turn around?" She regained her composure, "Ruori, I can see that you are also in a hurry, but the transaction is principled." ”
"Deal?" I sneered, "Aunt Shirley, I'm afraid you haven't figured out the current situation yet, the two of us are not in equal situations now, if I don't get what I want, it will take more time at most, but if you give up the only chance and end up ruined, don't you care?" ”
"Ruori? Furcumens, you-" She hated it.
"But I can tell you that your worries are unfounded, for I am also a member of the Furkmins family, and it will do me any good if I make the matter public and cause disgrace to the family? We all understand the truth that family ugliness should not be publicized, especially ...... My brother is now the head of the family, and I have to think about him even more. I paused, and pulled a lie that could convince her, and as far as my eyes could see, Si Tianzhe's eyes were dark for a while.
I suppressed the bitterness in my heart and forced myself to finish the rest of the words, "So, if someone hadn't forced me, I would never have chosen such a lose-lose approach." ”
She was silent for a moment and said, "Okay. Let me tell you, before you go to the antique cabinet, the base of all the furnishings is fixed to the cabinet, and you rotate the base of the second and fourth furnishings from the left of the second row by 90° counterclockwise at the same time. ”
I did so, and as soon as Fang swirled, the wall on the left side of the doorway rumbled, and the entire wall was slowly pulled up.
Si Tianzhe glanced at me, obviously surprised, no wonder I couldn't find any seams on the wall, it turned out that the interface was the connection between the two adjacent walls!
The massive wall slowly rises to reveal another door inside, which is obviously much more modern than the classical design of the castle, and must have been installed later.
"Password." I closed the combination lock on the door and spoke into the earpiece.
“901207。” She whispered a string of numbers.
"Oh? It's the day when Mr. Hill takes over as the rein. I said, but I was not in a hurry to press the button, but rather playfully played with the answer, and my voice smiled, "It's a little disappointing, and it's not very appropriate......
At this moment, even Si Tianzhe beside me was a little surprised by my reaction.
Aunt Shirley seemed anxious to end the conversation, ignoring my self-contained words, "I've told you that, and I hope you'll keep your promise, goodbye." ”
"Wait a minute." I said, "But you haven't told me the code that you won't summon a deadly weapon like a bullet or even a bomb when the door is opened." ”
"What did you say?" Well, she couldn't hide her panic anymore.
"Dear Aunt Shirley, I'm too busy to play a mystery game with you, do I have to be shot before I find out that the password you gave me is fake?" ”
"I ...... How could you-"
I hooked my lips, and the accumulation of knowledge is really beneficial.
"Mr. Hill admires his great-grandfather very much, and you don't know as much as I am, and the largest change and construction of Hill Castle since its construction is the former and former ruler, and the mansion has maintained this style ever since, and one or two of the castles that Mr. Hill has touched since he inherited the family, and they have been changed according to his great-grandfather's preferences, so I guess that the same principle should be followed in setting up the password--but that's not the main reason for me to question you, and of course it doesn't matter, nowCan you tell me the correct password? ”
All the hole card tricks have been dismantled, and there are no more tricks available at the moment.
She silently uttered a few numbers and hung up the phone. (To be continued.) )
