Chapter 702: Lucia Puppet Homicide 3
Dinner at the villa is not prepared until 5 o'clock, and it is not eaten until 10:30 o'clock, I don't know if it is a reference to Russian customs, because the Russian days are long and dinner is eaten later.
It was still early, and Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai visited the Lucia Pavilion under the leadership of the housekeeper.
The keys to the villa are stored in the atrium hall, which is quite special and is said to be impossible to imitate, and all the spare keys are hung together with a metal ring, which is also locked on a special lock rack, and the key rope on the metal ring is also special, and there is no knot itself, but it is set on the metal ring with a Prussian bartack, and it is easy to cut.
Gao Cheng also took a special look at the strangely shaped metal circle, and a section of the circle stretched outward to hang the key, looking like a ping-pong racket.
As for the key to the lock frame used to lock the metal ring, it is kept separately by the housekeeper......
"Isn't that weird?" Gao Cheng looked at the old butler who carefully removed the key ring, and wondered, "It's too tight, and there is no spare key for the lock rack, what if the key on the housekeeper is lost?" ”
"I'm afraid I'll only have to destroy the entire lock frame," the butler smiled as he held his reading glasses and brought the key ring to Gao Cheng to see, "Yamauchi-sensei thought so before, and tried to cut the rope tied to the key with pliers, but as you can see, there was only a little hum left on the rope, almost unscathed......
"I heard that this rope is made of fine metal and carbon fiber, and it is much harder than usual, maybe it is stronger than this special metal ring, and it should be impossible to cut it without using very special tools......"
"It's all fixed?"
Gao Cheng personally tried the key rope knot, a very ordinary knot, that is, the rope loop bypasses the metal rod, and the key passes through the rope loop.
However, the key here is too long, and it is impossible to put it on the metal ring to pass through the rope loop, and I can't take it off after trying for a while.
"In other words, if there are gangsters, they can only destroy the lock frame?" Gao Cheng looked at the lock rack and asked.
"There's an alarm device in there, and it's a very high-pitched alarm sound, and if someone breaks the lock frame, we can't go unnoticed......"
Tashiro, the housekeeper, began to take Takari around the villa with a key ring, a set of keys that unlocked all the doors of the villa, from the atrium to the surrounding towers.
"This villa was originally built by a Russian businessman who settled in Japan, and he seemed to like this land similar to the scenery of his hometown Russia, and he didn't know when this Russian-style building full of Russian objects was called the Lucia Pavilion, and finally fell into the hands of Mr. Yamanouchi......"
The old butler explained all the way: "Probably because there were quite valuable things in each room in the past, so the Russians who built this villa would arrange the keys so tightly, but now the supplies in each guest room are just ordinary imported goods that were shipped from Russia later......"
Gao Cheng walked through several towers one after another, and while enjoying the panoramic view of the villa from the window, he also took a good look at the various Russian-style paintings in the corridors.
I always feel that there are some secrets hidden in this Russian-style building, but looking at the appearance of the housekeeper, it seems that it is not clear.
I don't know if the deceased Yamauchi Hengsheng understands that this place feels very bad to him, and he and Xiao Ai will have to be careful in the next few days.
Human nature is too fragile, and everyone in this villa, including the client Koji Hoda, can become enemies.
Of course, it's better not to have anything happen......
In the evening, before 10 o'clock, everyone had already gathered in the restaurant, waiting for the second video of Yamanouchi Hengsheng, the sky outside the house was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain but it had not rained.
Not only did there be no boat, but the telephone line was also unplugged, and the special situation of the Lucia Pavilion in the middle of the deep mountain lake made several candidates feel a little depressed, but on the other hand, they were full of enthusiasm for inheritance, and the desire for great wealth in the depths of their eyes could not be hidden, only the beautiful illustrator with the mask man was very calm.
Gao Chengcheng stood by the window, and when he saw Koji Tabada wiping his sweat from time to time, he couldn't help but want to complain.
Before I came, I complimented him all kinds of things, but after I came here, I didn't believe him very much.
"Will it rain?" Xiao Ai asked.
"It didn't matter if it rained, and it didn't reach the villa when the water level was at its highest......"
Gao Cheng quietly looked out the window, and suddenly the bell rang at 10 o'clock from the bell tower above, and the lawyer who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly took out the video tape to play, and the five candidates and the old housekeeper who was waiting next to him all cheered up.
"Hey, quintet, are you comfortable staying in my Lucia Pavilion?" Yamauchi Hengsheng appeared on the TV in the restaurant, "Next, before dinner starts, I'll give you some cheering information......"
"First of all, the first violin is Inukai Takashi, you are my good neighbor, as a young reasoning critic, I have a deep communication with you, recently I heard that Ling Zun's career failed, and even your beloved 5 hunting dogs were taken to mortgage, it is really heart-wrenching, this time you must use your wisdom to unlock the code and pay off your father's debts......"
Inukai Takashi, who was pierced in the sore spot, changed his face suddenly, lowered his head with sweat, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he was silent.
Several of the other candidates looked at Inukai Takashi in surprise, and then their faces were also ugly.
"Next is Kaoru Umezono of the 2nd violin, as my lovely junior, but I am burdened with huge debts due to an unfortunate car accident, as your senior, I feel very sorry, I hope you can get my inheritance, brush away your anxiety, and give full play to your talent as a writer......"
"Then there's Koji Takada of the cello, you are an excellent editor, many of my works have come out because of you, I can't bear to see you suffer because of the debts caused by the stocks, for the sake of the lady who is still lying in the hospital bed, please be sure to crack the code......"
"Viola's dream of the moon, you have painted a lot of wonderful illustrations in your works, I heard that you have to bear the huge medical expenses of your brother who drowned and became a vegetative person, don't worry, get my inheritance and treat your brother well......"
"Finally, the double bass god Tadashi sensei, the sharp comments you wrote are the biggest motivation for my creation, and even I am sorry that you divorced your beloved wife, and I earnestly hope that you can use my inheritance to pay a high amount of child support......"
With Yamauchi Hengsheng's seemingly cheerful calm words, the entire restaurant lobby changed the atmosphere, except for Yuyue Laimeng, who couldn't see his expression, several other people all felt annoyed and angry, even Takamada Koji grabbed his fingers, and his fingers turned white.
"Bang ——!"
The mustachioed male god Ming Zhongzhi slammed his wine glass, pointed at the TV tremblingly and scolded, "What is this?!" This video ...... Are you going to play tricks on me when you're dead? Yamanouchi!! ”
The young lawyer, Daisuke Aritou, was a little flustered, and quickly explained: "Kamimei-sensei, Yamauchi-sensei just wants to encourage everyone to ......"
"Shut up! Can't you hear that? Kami Tadashi said with sweat on his head and shame, "Casually disclose other people's privacy on such occasions, this guy has always been like this!" pretends to be sanctimonious, but in fact wants to use despicable means to hit others! ”
"Mr. Kami......"
"I'm back in my room! Tongjiang brought my dinner! ”
The gods fled in a huff, and although the other people didn't react so much, they also left one after another: "I'm going back to my room too, I'll come back at half past ten for dinner......"
"I'm going to play billiards or something first to change my mood......"
"Then I'm ......"
Koji Takada also wanted to leave, but seeing that Gao Cheng and the other side of the moon dream and the masked man didn't move, he sat back with a changed face.
"Detective Joto," Koji Takada said embarrassedly, "the matter of the code......"
"Oh," Gao Cheng came back to his senses, "don't worry, I'll crack it as soon as possible, and I'll tell you if I find anything." ”
That being said, the current few hints may not be able to solve the puzzle in a short time, solving the puzzle is never a simple matter, and it is particularly important to find out the thoughts of the person who asked the question, but this deceased Yamauchi Hengsheng is really a little unpredictable.
Yamauchi Hengsheng didn't seem to have good intentions in choosing Koji Takada to become the heir to the inheritance, and his words were full of malice.
Perhaps, Yamauchi Hengsheng didn't intend to let these people get the inheritance at all.
If that's the case, think about it.
Gao Cheng suddenly thought of the incident that happened in the annex at dusk, the old woman directed the whole farce in the dark, and Yamauchi Tsunesheng's own work "Lucia Puppet Murder Incident", in which there is also a role of "commander......
No, Yamauchi Hengsheng did pass away, which has been confirmed, otherwise the lawyer would not have started the inheritance process.
The key is what kind of puzzle will Yamauchi Tsune-sei, who has malicious ideas, arrange......
"Boom!" With a thunderclap, the rain poured down, the entire lake was filled with moisture, and the windows of the villa were gradually blurred.
Yuyuelai, who was sitting with the masked man, couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng in thought.
