Chapter 1206: The Golden Mystery (2)

The client's uncle was a treasure hunter, and the 200 kilograms of gold he was looking for were his trophies.

Jonathan continued:

"Later, he returned to his hometown and used the money to open a small company, but my uncle did not marry a wife and had no children, and my father died early due to illness, so I have been living in my uncle's house, and when I grew up, I gradually took over my uncle's small company, but my uncle is a very strange person, I remember that he never told me any fairy tales, but liked to pass the time with all kinds of guessing puzzles."

As he spoke, Jonathan seemed to be caught up in his memory, and then realized that he had made a gaffe and made an apologetic gesture.

"Some time ago, my uncle died of illness, and I found this photo when I was sorting out my belongings, and at the same time, the lawyer also came to the door, and he said that he brought my uncle's will, asking me to find the 200 kilograms of gold he had hidden in his house within a month, otherwise all his property would be donated to the welfare fund organization."

"How long is the time limit?"

"There are about twenty days left, I also looked for a detective before you, but the other party tried for two days, and finally refused my commission, and he couldn't find any clues at all."

To put it simply, this commission is a treasure hunt with the aim of finding hidden gold.

An Yizhi thought about it for a moment, and then said:

"Mr. Jonathan, I understand the general situation of the commission, how much do you plan to pay?"

The other person raised his hand and spread his five fingers:

"50,000, I promise it will be paid after tax."

Mizushima Yumeko, who was sitting next to An Yizhi, hurriedly secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes, signaling him to next, with this money, he could at least pay off his previous debts.

An Yizhi was completely unmoved:

"Mr. Jonathan, 200 kilograms of gold alone is already a lot of money, not to mention that you can also inherit your uncle's company and other properties, 50,000 is really too little. You are looking for a budding detective like me probably with the idea that it can be cheaper, but I want 500,000. ”

"Impossible."

The other shook his head and said:

"I don't have that much cash, and if I use the money in the company, it will lead to an outflow of funds, up to 100,000, and I'd rather hire a more famous detective for more than that."

Yumeko Mizushima continued to frantically tug at the corner of her shirt under the table, which meant 'take it when you see it'.

An Yizhi could only nod helplessly:

"Okay, 100,000 is 100,000, did you bring the contract?"

"Nature."

Originally, An Yizhi wanted to deduct more, after all, 200 kilograms of gold, even if it is roughly calculated at 300 yuan per gram, there are 60 million, such a large sum of money, it is simply trivial to let the other party pay two or three hundred thousand yuan.

However, Mizushima Yumeko is crazy about tugging at the corners of her clothes, and it is indeed unlikely that she will get too much money, after all, this is an extra commission that was only given at the prestige level 2, and it is really unrealistic to be able to make a lot of money.

When the other party came, they brought the contract with them, and after the two parties made some adjustments to the amount of remuneration, they signed it to take effect after confirming that it was correct.

An Yizhi handed his contract to Yumeko Mizushima and asked her to put it in his small backpack, and the girl's movements and expressions were like holding a bomb......

- I'm scared of poverty.

When the waiter came in and put down the coffee and ice water they ordered, An Yizhi asked:

"Now that the contract has been signed, can Mr. Jonathan tell me if your uncle has left any clues? And what does that will have to do with treasure hunting? ”

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if Holmes comes and has no clues, there is no way to solve the case.

Jonathan took a sip of coffee, nodded and said:

"The only clue my uncle left was a watch."

As he spoke, he took out a finely crafted square watch from his bosom, which was worth a lot of money at first glance.

However, the size of this watch, mainly because of the volume, is a bit wrong, not so much an expensive and sophisticated mechanical watch, it looks more like the size of a watch that young people like to wear, and the volume of the watch is particularly thick.

"Can you show me?"

Jonathan made a gesture of please, and Ann picked up his watch and looked at it carefully.

The dial and hands are inlaid with fine gemstones, which is also the standard for high-end watches, but unfortunately in the lower left corner of the dial, there is a gap left by accidentally hitting some hard object, which feels a little white jade slightly flawed.

But most importantly, the body of this watch is very thick, and it is not the size of a typical high-end watch.

He weighed it a little and said:

"There's a mechanism in this watch, and it should have the next clue from your uncle."

"Yes, that's what the detective said before, you can pull the winding knob out."

With a slight touch, An Yizhi heard a slight sound of movement from behind the dial, and when he turned it over, the back cover of the watch opened a thin slit.

When you open it with your fingernails, you can see a folded piece of paper inside, and when you take it out, you can see a strange-looking piece of metal placed in a special groove.

An Yizhi opened the note, and only one sentence was written on it:

What the eye sees is not real.

"The detective from before couldn't continue to chase after this part?"

"Yes, he searched for a long time and didn't find what this clue was referring to."

"Do you know this piece of metal?"

Ann pointed to the strangely shaped piece of metal behind the piece of paper, reached out and grabbed it. Only then did he realize that the knuckle-length piece of metal was still folded, and when fully unfolded, it would turn into a finger-long metal strip, which looked like some kind of key.

"I don't know what it is, the detective guessed it might be the key, but he couldn't find the corresponding lock at all."

After looking at it a few times, An Yizhi put all these things into the watch and returned to their original state and handed them to Jonathan:

"Is there anything else I need to know?"

"Regarding the part of the will to find gold, the lawyer said that the uncle put the gold in his villa, but there are also rules that mention that it is not allowed to destroy the structure of the house, and there are no restrictions other than that."

This is also right, if he knew that his relatives had left him 200 kilograms of gold, he would definitely call an excavator to demolish the house, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would have to find out.

But just those cheating relatives of his family...... Daydreaming doesn't do that either.

"The location of those golds, no one else knows except your uncle?"

Since solving the puzzle is not easy, simply start from the source.

"I don't know, but the lawyer must know that he was a good friend of his uncle for many years, but he wouldn't say."

Whether it is out of the spirit of the contract or the entrustment of an old friend, it is probably no fun to ask him.

"Ask more, the location of the treasure hunt should not be in the deep mountains and old forests, right?"

An Yizhi's worries are not as reasonable, this situation is easy to be made by the system to make a Blizzard Villa model, and it usually won't end without killing a few people.

Jonathan glanced at Ann strangely, and then said:

"No, although my uncle's villa is outside the city, it is not far away, and it only takes three or five minutes to enter the city by car."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about how to do it, An Yizhi tapped on the table and said:

"Okay, I know the general situation, so should you start looking now?"

"Nope."

Jonathan took out his phone and looked at it and said:

"I still have some things to deal with later, can I wait until tomorrow to start looking?"

Doesn't it stand to reason that the sooner you start, the better? Why do you have to put it off until tomorrow?

"I'm just a little worried about some family matters, and I'm just a little worried that it will interfere with looking for a job."

Since the client has said so, An Yizhi can only agree.

The mechanism of transferring scenes in this temporary copy is really easy to use, as long as the screen turns, it changes places, which is one of the few consciences of the system.

After negotiating the terms and details of the commission with Jonathan, Ann pointed out that they returned to the office.

An Yi pointed to the time displayed on the computer, and suddenly remembered that although he had accepted a commission, the problem of dinner was still not settled......

Just as he was wondering if this would be another commission that would take a short time to solve the urgent need, he suddenly noticed that he could see the back of his head.

This feeling was quite novel, a bit like an out-of-body experience, he floated out of the body of 'An Yizhi' and watched his body in front of the computer.

Then he noticed that time was moving forward at a very fast speed, and the whole picture was like fast forwarding, he saw the sunlight behind him quickly turn dim and turn into night, and he also saw that 'Ann Ichito' and Yumeko Mizushima had a sad dinner that was as simple as only fried eggs and sugar water, and he also saw that the two of them went back to their rooms to sleep after late at night.

It's no wonder that the system doesn't open the sleep mode, like the items that will have a special plot when sleeping at night in the temporary dungeon are directly skipped, after all, there is no real main quest commission in this dungeon, it is piled up by a large number of side quests, so there is no mode to arrange a special plot to give the player clues at night.

About a minute later, when the late night outside the window turned into sunlight, Ann pointed and saw that his body was almost a phantom and went to the toilet to wash up, and sat down at the desk again.

At this time, his vision crashed towards his body, and he regained control of his body.

At the same time, a crisp doorbell rang outside the door.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

According to the previous agreement, Jonathan came back to the office to pick up An Yizhi and they went over, and originally planned to tell him the address directly, but An Yizhi considered that it was too embarrassing for his broken car to run near the villa, so he had to ask the client to pick them up......

Needless to say, the cutscenes are still the consistent style of the system, and the picture is in place as soon as it turns.

"Mr. An, you wait here for a while, I'll go and park the car in the garage."

Jonathan pointed Ann to the two of them at the door and drove around the back of the house to park.

From this description, you can see how big the villa that appeared in front of An Yizhi was, not so much a villa, but a luxurious western-style mansion, and the architectural style was very close to the Baroque dome style.

This reminded An Yizhi of some not-so-good memories, such as the 'Deep Mountain Pavilion' that he went to with Tu Hongyu a long time ago. (See chapters 171~190 for details)

However, as Jonathan himself said, although the villa is outside the city, it is not far from the city, and now as long as An Yizhi turns around, he can see the shadowy high-rise buildings in the distance, and the road is also a large plain, and there is no possibility of Blizzard Villa at all.

But you have to understand that even if it's not the Blizzard Villa model, it doesn't say that people won't die......
