This Western-style mansion has two floors, the top floor is probably an attic, and it seems that it has been built for a long time, and the walls on one side are full of ivy, which adds a sense of tranquility and vicissitudes to this western-style mansion.

Jonathan quickly parked the car and led Ann to the front door.

An Yizhi saw that he did not call the door, but took out the key to open the door and asked a little strangely:

"Is there no one at home?"

No matter how you look at it, the area of the Western-style pavilion is not small, and it would be too big if only Jonathan lived alone.

"No, I don't usually live here, this is my uncle's house, there used to be a few servants, but due to my uncle's death, most of them were dismissed."

It is estimated that the reason for the dismissal of them is also the 200 kilograms of gold, after all, the will says that the gold is in this house, and if you can't find it, you may be found by the maid first, which will be very embarrassing.

Once you enter the gate, you will find a luxurious vestibule.

There are various paintings and decorations on both sides, and a Y-shaped staircase can be seen extending to the second floor, and there should also be a corridor behind the staircase, which leads to the rest of the first floor.

An Yizhi looked at the luxurious configuration nearby, and felt that even if he didn't have the 200 kilograms of gold, the surrounding decorations alone could be sold for a lot of money.

- that is, the force is very high.

"Mr. An, where are you going to start? Or do you need me to show you around first? ”

Ann was about to speak, and with a series of high-heeled footsteps, a woman in her forties stepped out from behind the stairs.

Although she is dressed like a noblewoman, her demeanor is not elegant at all, she directly carries a red wine bottle and holds a goblet in her other hand.

Could this be Mr. Jonathan's wife? It feels like the age should be about the same.

It's just that the other party didn't mean to be polite at all when he saw An Yi pointing at them, especially when he saw Mizushima Yumeko, he smacked his mouth covertly, and asked with an arrogant expression:

"Who are they?"

"This is Ann Yizhi Detective, and the young lady behind him is an assistant."

The woman glanced back and forth at Ann and pointed at them, and without even saying hello, she walked towards the stairs, presumably to the second floor.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ann, Miss Mizushima."

She was rude, and Jonathan, who was going to stay, took the blame.

An Yizhi waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, and asked casually:

"That's your wife?"

"No, she is my second brother's original wife."

Wait a minute, this sentence is very informative.

Fortunately, Jonathan also knew what this sentence was talking about, and explained:

"She and my second brother divorced a long time ago, and then the second brother died of illness, so they had nothing to do with each other, but because they had a child between them, they were barely relatives with this relationship."

"She's here to ......."

Mizushima Yumeko's feelings were very keen, and Jonathan nodded helplessly:

"Because she happened to be there when the will was read, and she has been here all day since then."

"I'm going to get a piece of the pie."

For this kind of shameless relative who can't be beaten by eight poles, An Yizhi also feels quite like a dog.

When his parents were killed on a plane for their honeymoon, there was an endless stream of relatives who saw the properties of An Yizhi's family.

Some say that they adopt An, and some rely on their elders to say that they are in custody, and a total of four words boil down to four words, clever and robbing.

If it weren't for Lin Linglin's family to protect him, I don't know what would have happened in the end.

Therefore, An Yizhi knows that it is useless to be polite to deal with this kind of person, as long as he does not kill anyone, how ruthless is it, Jonathan's gentle attitude will make the other party gain an inch.

But to put it mildly, this is also someone's family, An Yizhi's entrustment is only responsible for finding gold, and how to divide it after finding it is not that An Yizhi needs cāo heart.

So he was also very interested and did not continue to ask about this matter, but asked about the commission:

"Mr. Jonathan, do you know where the most likely place to leave a clue?"

"This ......"

This sentence is a bit silly to ask, I really know that Jonathan still needs to hire any detectives, but An Yizhi has other plans since he asked.

"The will indicates that it is for you, this is a 'puzzle game' prepared by your uncle for you, since he did this, he must have considered letting you find it, there should be some hints."

"When I said that, before my uncle died, he always held my hand as if he wanted to say something, but because of the illness, he couldn't say anything."

Did he die before he could say a hint?

It can't be said that there is no such possibility at all, but Ann Yizhi still prefers that all the hints have been given to Jonathan.

He thought about it for a moment and said:

"Can you tell me in which room your uncle died? I suspect there might be clues there."

"No problem, he left in his room, I'll take you there"

With that, he took Yasuchichi and Yumeko Mizushima around the Y-shaped staircase in the front hall, revealing the wide hallway behind.

From here, you can see the atrium of the Western-style pavilion, where there is a small fountain that is still running, and with the surrounding jīng garden, it is quite a good garden view.

However, after walking down the corridor for about ten meters, An Yiyi heard a sound that gave him a headache.

- The sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures.

As we continued on, the sound of chanting became clearer and clearer, and it came from an open room. An raised his eyes and saw a monk in a robe with his back to the crowd.

Jonathan made a gesture to keep walking, and waited a little further before saying:

"That's my eldest brother, he didn't know why he became a monk a few years ago, and he usually stayed in the temple, but this time he came back to see because his uncle passed away."

"He's also in it for gold?"

"Probably not."

Jonathan says:

"My eldest brother didn't plan to inherit my uncle's property from the beginning, after dropping out of middle school, he worked outside the home alone, and his salary was basically all given to my uncle to thank him for taking care of our three brothers, and he came back this time just to attend the funeral, and he will go back tomorrow."

It sounds like a big brother who thinks about his brother a lot, but because Mao suddenly became a monk?

An Yizhi has the worst impression of the gods, especially the monks, which is also due to the inheritance robbery turmoil back then.

When the shameless relatives saw that the soft grinding and hard bubbles didn't work, they found a few monks who didn't know whether it was true or not, and said everywhere that An Yizhi was a mourning star and killed his parents.

It was at that time that An Yizhi saw Lin Linglin's might, and single-handedly sent the relatives of An Yizhi's family who spread rumors to the orthopedic hospital along with the monks......

It seems that since then, An Yizhi has left the impression of 'you must not make her angry', and until now she has simply become a complete strict wife.

"Ann fingers, this is the room."

Hearing Jonathan's voice, Ann shook her head and came back to her senses from the memory.

The room is very luxuriously decorated, with green striped wallpaper on the wall, and valuable furniture fills the whole room, basically like the bedroom of an ordinary rich family.

"Uncle died of illness here, if there is really a clue, I guess this is it."

Ann walked in with one finger up and looked around the room.

"Mr. Jonathan, has the furniture been moved?"

"No, although the will doesn't say that the furniture is not allowed to be moved, but I am worried that it will destroy the reminder left by my uncle, so I have not changed the location of the furniture at all."

"Has the detective you hired here before?"

"I've been here, but he hasn't found any clues."

It's really a bit hard to find, and it doesn't seem to have anything noteworthy at all on the surface, so it can be seen that the clues are still very secretive.

An Yizhi took two steps, pointed to the small bookshelf against the wall on one side of the room and asked:

"The detective has read all the books on this?"

"Well, there aren't any mezzanines or hints in the book, and in order not to spoil the clues, all the books are put back in their place"

In general, clues are likely to be the highest on the bookshelf, and things like wardrobes and bedside tables are too obvious to be interesting to find.

But in any case, instead of standing and staring wide-eyed, you should look around and maybe find something missing.

An Yizhi first set his eyes on the bookshelves, where many of the books were heavy jīng bindings, and most of them were classics.

Like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Treasure Island, Gulliver's Travels, Moby Dick, etc. It's all about the sea, but there's nothing wrong with that.

After all, Jonathan's uncle used to be a treasure hunter, and he floated around the sea all day looking for shipwrecks to fish, so he probably missed that period very much.

There are not many books on the shelves, except for a few marine-related tool books, which add up to more than twenty.

An glanced at it a few times, and then didn't continue to pay attention.

Yumeko Mizushima, who was in charge of searching places such as bedside tables and wardrobes, also found nothing, except for some miscellaneous items and clothes, and nothing that looked like a clue.

Could it be that the clue is not in this room?

An Yizhi felt that he had made a mistake in his entry point, and while pondering, he saw the bed in the room Zhōng Yāng, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Mr. Jonathan, do you still have that watch with you?"

"Yes, with me."

He took out the watch he had shown to An Yizhi yesterday, and An Yizhi held it very strangely compared to the bed in the room, and then lifted the sheets and looked at it, and finally he said with a smug smile:

"Sure enough, the clue is here."

"Did you find any clues?"

An Yi pointed to return the watch to Jonathan and said:

"The shape of this bed is a clue, don't you think it's a bit of a problem compared to the average bed?"

Hearing Ann's reminder, Jonathan and Yumeko Mizushima noticed that the bed seemed to be ...... Relatively long?

"Of course, it's not uncommon for a bed of this special length, especially a luxurious one, but if you look at the pocket watch in your hand, is there a notch in the lower left corner of its dial?

Nathan reached out and touched it, and the slightly rough touch showed that what Ann Yizhi said was true.

Immediately, he saw that An Yizhi had lifted the entire sheet completely, and in the lower left corner of the bed, there was also a pattern like a facet.
