Chapter 87: The Soothsayer's Last Words.

"Here, sir." The gloomy curator handed a white letter to Brother Hao, who took it and looked at it, and wrote a poem on it:

Before the late autumn, when the light and the darkness are balanced;

When Apollo rode away in his chariot;

I will stand at the top of the castle and take away that eternal smile;

And the moonlight will make a brilliant firework for me.

…………

Brother Hao looked at it twice and his eyebrows jumped, and he said to the curator without raising his head, "In the field of calligraphy and painting, the eternal smile should refer to [Mona Lisa's smile], and what he wants to steal should be this thing." ”

In Brother Hao's opinion, there is no difficulty at all in the teaser letter of the strange thief in his hand, combined with the key words in the letter, just put it on the names of various world famous paintings, and sure enough, the challenge of the first layer will be relatively easy?

"Yes, Mr. Detective, Kidd the Strange Thief is planning to steal Mona Lisa's smile, but we need to know...... He's going to steal it on the day of the month, what time it is, and where it came from. ”

Yes?

Brother Hao's face stiffened when he heard this, and he was just about to complain, when he suddenly remembered...... That's right, if it's just stealing something, you don't need to write so many words in the notice letter, and judging from the meaning of the curator, the clues accurate to the minutes and seconds of the month number should also be in these four rows of verses.

Well, 8 minutes to go, and then study the study.

"Mr. Detective, Mr. Detective?" Five minutes later, the detective in front of the sweaty fat man didn't say a word, seemed to be a little angry, and asked.

"Hmm...... I basically know, but-" Brother Hao raised his eyes and looked at another version of Mr. Xu in front of him, and said helplessly, "There is still a small problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Curator's words.

"May I ask, will your museum set off fireworks in the future? If so...... Where did you set it on fire? ”

"Huh?" When the curator heard Brother Hao's words, his expression was obviously stunned, and he hurriedly explained, "No, no, we don't have this habit, and the museum is full of treasures, not to mention fireworks, and we are not allowed to enter even those who can smoke." ”

"Oh?"

Brother Hao originally thought that if the museum would set off fireworks or something, then he would be able to deduce the location chosen by the strange thief, and he had already roughly deduced the month, date and time, and now it was a location.

Can't you set off fireworks? Then the last sentence "And the moonlight - will bloom brilliant fireworks for me." What kind of place are you referring to......

"That's right!"

Brother Hao suddenly patted the back of his head with his hand, and hurriedly asked the curator in front of him, "What is the name of your museum?" ”

"Seaside World Famous Painting Museum." Curator's words.

"Aha! That's right! Brother Hao clapped his hands, and immediately skipped the part of complaining about the name and said.

"In the first sentence, the balance of light and darkness represents the equal length of day and night, and the autumnal equinox before late autumn is the autumnal equinox, which is geographically recognized as September 22, which is the date of his crime; And the second sentence ...... Apollo is the god of the sun, and after the sun is gone, it is night, and the point of day and night is 19:00, which is the time of his crime; In addition to alluding to what is to be stolen in the third sentence, the strange thief Kidd also has a suspicious array - the top of the castle, this does not need to be considered, it properly refers to the museum, as for the last sentence......"

Brother Hao glanced out the window of the museum, although he didn't see the scene he wanted to see, he still reasoned slowly, "In this notice letter, the fireworks represent the waves, and under the moonlight, the sparkling waves are very beautiful...... So Kidd, the thief, should come from the sea. ”

Ding dong!

[Congratulations to the guests for completing the Tower of Trials - Broken Truth Tier 1 Challenge.] 】

[Reward settlement for this layer: 100 points for silver pottery, 10 experience points for refining body.] 】

【Teleported to the second floor, please wait for ......】

…………

Oh, so that's what the Tower of Trials that is generated according to the talents of the respective guests...... Brother Hao looked at the curator and all kinds of famous paintings that began to blur in front of him, and secretly wondered in his heart, he is a mental advanced, so the trial tower built by the system is all the type of puzzle solving and training the brain?

Depend on? Failure to challenge means that you will permanently lose the talent...... If you can't get past at least 10 floors, you'll become a ...... Brain-dead ???

It's so random...... I don't know what type of stone tower the other two brothers will face......

Uncle Melbourne, needless to say, is a modes of conquest by force, and Constantine is a ...... It's really hard to guess......

Just as he was thinking about it, the vision condensed again - Brother Hao appeared in a luxurious and grand house again.

From the layout of the room alone, it can be seen that this place should be someone's private study, and the scale is a bit scary, and the collection of books is so large that it makes Brother Hao embarrassed...... Sure enough, rich people read books at home...... You have to carry a ladder to find it......

This is a private study in European style.

After a few glances, the door of the study opened, and many people came in from the outside.

So, is there any case that needs to be reasoned about in this study?

"Mr. Kanedaichi ......"

No way? I've finally been substituted for the role of a detective! It's still a classic pigtail man who gambles with his grandfather's name every day! IQ 180 Ah, there is wood, there is wood!

"Mr. Kanedaichi?" The middle-aged man who entered the door seemed to see that the big detective in front of him had a strange face, and he asked suspiciously.

"Ah, ah, it's okay, what's wrong?" Brother Hao finally recovered from his ecstasy and possessed a detective, will there be any special attribute bonuses? For example, what intelligence +100, between the eyebrows is forced to be X3 times, or what...... Permanently inflict 100% of the Strange Death Aura on random characters around you......

"Mr. Kanedaichi, we have checked the last few guests that the deceased saw before his death according to your request, and there are a total of five who match the identity of the suspects, please take a look."

"Ah, no, who's dead?" Brother Hao looked confused, I just arrived, you explain it to me.

"Huh? The deceased is your friend, Mr. Akumatata, the soothsayer, and you seeβ€”"

This plain clothes did not bother with the loopholes in Brother Hao's words, and pointed his hand at Brother Hao's back, saying.

Brother Hao turned his head to see that there was still a long desk in the empty place, and a person was now lying on his stomach on the table, with a ...... on his back No way? Watermelon knife again?

It looks like he's been dead for a long time.

According to the prompts of the plainclothes, Mr. Kanedaichi had already arrived at it before Brother Hao crossed - 1, there were no fingerprints of the suspect on the handle of the knife; 2. Under the palm of the deceased's hand there is a certain letter "S" written in his own blood; And 3, the study is neat and tidy, without any inferences that valuables have been stolen.

So?

Ding dong!
