Chapter 2 Stage
"Hello, my name is Yuan Li." Yuan Li stretched out his hand elegantly, with a gentle smile, Zheng Hanfei had to say that this was the most lethal weapon to kill thousands of girls.
"Zheng Hanfei!" Zheng Hanfei shook his hand and also showed a gentle smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"I think it's better to skip the conversation of the first acquaintance." Suddenly, Ouyang Xiu said coldly, "The most important thing now is to take us in first." ”
"I'm sorry." Yuan Li smiled and casually made an inviting gesture, "Then, everyone, please follow my footsteps and go in." ”
Everyone nodded, and followed Yuan Li into the courtyard through the back door, but it made Zheng Hanfei feel a little wrong, he always felt a little unhappy in his heart, as for what it was, I believe that except for him, the rest of the people also felt this way.
"Look!" Qu Menghan's voice attracted everyone's attention, and looking in the direction she pointed, three towering buildings came into everyone's sight, the tallest building in the middle was a bell tower, and the buildings on its left and right were of equal height, presenting people with a "mountain" feeling.
"These are the Building of Shadows, the Building of Time, and the Building of Hitomi." Yuan Li introduced to everyone, "Among them, the Shadow Building is the venue for the exhibition of gems, and the Building of Time, I don't need to introduce, it can be seen from the appearance that it is a bell tower, and the time of this bell tower is always accurate, there is never an inaccurate time, as for the place we are going to now, it is the Hitomi Building, which is a place dedicated to receiving guests." ”
"Isn't there a room here?" After half a ring, Zheng Hanfei suddenly came up with this question.
"Yes! Its Chrono Building is where we stay, and except for the clock above, the rest of the building is a room, and it is also where we usually sleep and sleep for our guests. ”
"I see." Zheng Hanfei nodded, "By the way, why do you give these three buildings such strange names, I can still understand the Tower of Time, but I don't understand the Building of Shadows and the Tower of Pupils." ”
"I'll answer that." Ouyang Xiu stretched out his hand to interrupt Yuan Li's opening, "The Shadow Building is named because the exterior of the building is black, and during the day, this building is like the shadow of the other two buildings. As for Hitomi's Building, it's because only the windows of that building can be opened, and the rest of the windows can't be opened at all. ”
"I didn't expect you to know so much." Zheng Hanfei said with some surprise.
"The other party is a thief, and he must know all the information about the destination in advance." Ouyang Xiu looked at Zheng Hanfei with an idiotic eye, as if to say that I am different from you.
"You ......"
"Dissatisfied?" Ouyang Xiu looked arrogant, "Then you tell me, what do you know." ”
"Well." Zheng Hanfei scratched his head, saw the gate of the Hitomi Building close in front of him, and said, "It takes 5 minutes for ordinary people to get here from the back door, but it takes 5 minutes to get here from the front door, and as for the distance between the three buildings, it will take about 3 minutes." ”
"You ......" Yuan Li was visibly surprised, "how do you know?" ”
"Calculate!" Zheng Hanfei said in a normal tone, it seemed that he had just done a trivial thing, "When I came in through the back door, I looked at the time, it was six o'clock, and after we arrived at the Hitomi Tower, I looked at the time again, 6:05, so I knew the time of this journey." ”
"I'm not asking about that." Yuan Li shook his head, and the whole person looked a little urgent, "I wanted to ask you why you know that the distance between these three buildings is the same." ”
"It's simpler. In order for the three buildings to take on the shape of a mountain, the first thing to do is to be close to each other, and secondly, I found that the trees around the buildings are all spaced at the same distance, about 1 meter, and the trees are exactly the same in the interval between the three buildings, so I came to the conclusion. ”
"That's amazing!" Yuan Li applauded with a look of adoration, "No wonder grandma said that you are a detective, and you really live up to your reputation." I think someone will be interested when they see you. ”
"Huh? What the? Because the last sentence was very small, Zheng Hanfei didn't hear it clearly.
"Nothing." Yuan Li shook his head and immediately changed the topic, "Zheng Hanfei, I worship you as a teacher, I also want to be a detective." ”
"Detective? I advise you not to do it. Zheng Hanfei smiled, "You are more suitable to be a mystery novelist than a detective, isn't writing your hobby?" ”
"How...... You even know that? Yuan Li looked a little flustered.
It's no wonder that when you talk to someone you're meeting for the first time, your secret is completely known to the other party, and no matter who you are, you won't be calm.
"You have a noticeable callus on the tip of your middle finger, which is left by holding the pen for a long time." Zheng Hanfei said, "Of course, this may be what you left from elementary school to high school, but the name of the little book on your chest tells me accurate information: 'Inspiration', this is the little book you prepared in case you suddenly have inspiration and can't put pen to paper, so I deduced that I love writing very much, and it is very likely that he is a novelist." ”
"Writing is a hobby." Yuan Li smiled, he completely admired Zheng Hanfei, "As for the novelist, I don't dare to be a novelist, it's just my hobby, I'm still in college." ”
"Don't be so modest." Zheng Hanfei shook his finger, "I've read your reasoning novels, and I'm sorry to lose my heart." ”
"This ...... I ......" Yuan Li was a little speechless, he only felt now that he was too terrifying in front of Zheng Hanfei, he was even comparable to Sherlock Holmes.
"Don't tease him." Ouyang Xiu said on the side, "Yuan Li, your handkerchief is exposed from your pocket, and it is embroidered with resentment of disappointment, he said it when he saw that." ”
"Haha, you found out!" Zheng Hanfei scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Yuan Li, I accidentally said your **." ”
"It's okay. Only you know here, it doesn't matter. And I still appreciate your reasoning, ah, having said so much, I forgot to invite you in, come, please! ”
While speaking, Yuan Li quickened his pace, walked to the door of the Hitomi Building, and led everyone into the building, and at this moment, a brilliant and gorgeous hall gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.
Gorgeous chandeliers, elaborate red carpets, famous oil and landscape paintings hung on the white walls, and even a small cabinet full of vintage wines, surrounded by many precious stones.
Sure enough, it's a rich man, and the decoration is just different. Zheng Hanfei couldn't help smacking his lips, he felt that he and Uncle Wang were dressed even more shabby when they came this time, and at the same time, he was also a little curious in his heart, what did Di Luo and Katie's home look like?
"Haha, young man, I didn't expect you to come so soon." At this time, a familiar voice came into Zheng Hanfei's ears, and when he heard the voice, a kind face appeared in front of his eyes.
"Grandma!" Yuan Li hurriedly ran to Yuan Cui's side and reproached, "How can you come out now?" The exhibition hasn't started yet. ”
"Come less!" Yuan Cui scolded with a smile, "Tell you, Xiaoli, my body is great, I don't need you to worry about it!" Besides, I came to see the young man, and I thought he would forget about me, the old man who gave him tips. ”
"How so, Grandma Yuancui." Zheng Hanfei smiled awkwardly, "I just don't have time." ”
"I understand! Detectives are busy lives, let alone detectives. ”
Zheng Hanfei smiled awkwardly, he understood that Yuan Cui's words had no other meaning, just simply praising him, but when he heard this, he felt weird.
"Grandma, you better show the invitation to Zheng Hanfei first." Yuan Li said, "You don't know, his reasoning just now is very perfect, and I hope he can provide some inspiration for my mystery novels." ”
"That's right! Right! Yuan Cui patted her head, "When people are old, they can forget things, young man, this time, please leave it to you." ”
After speaking, Yuan Cui took out an ordinary letter from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Hanfei, while Uncle Wang, Ouyang Xiu, and Qu Menghan slowly approached, waiting for Zheng Hanfei to open the envelope and say the contents of the letter.
However, Zheng Hanfei did not open the envelope as quickly as they imagined, but held it without moving, his body kept trembling, and his eyes stared at the envelope blankly, as if he was stupid.
"What's wrong with him?" Yuan Li asked out loud.
"Shh~" Ouyang Xiu made a silent movement, his eyes were staring at Zheng Hanfei all the time, and his sharp gaze seemed to find something from Zheng Hanfei's body.
Why? Zheng Hanfei's heart kept shouting, why does this letter give me an incomparably familiar feeling, obviously it is dark and cold, why do I feel extremely comfortable.
At this time, the letter was like a leech, slowly eating away at his soul, and his empty eyes gradually returned to their previous darkness, but there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a strange arc, as if he was smiling but not smiling, making everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
"The ceremony, it seems to have begun...... "Outside the Hitomi Building, a dark shadow looked into the building, and after seeing Zheng Hanfei's changes, he smiled slightly, and said something that seemed to be understood only by himself.
