Chapter 18: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
"Pretty confident, detective." The afterimage said, "Your name reasoning, please let me wait and see!" β
"No problem!" Zheng Hanfei smiled, "After this case is completely resolved, I am looking for you to settle accounts." β
"Let's go!" The afterimage said a word, turned around and walked towards the Temple of Zeus, which made Zheng Hanfei slightly stunned, and then Zheng Hanfei complained in his heart about pretending to be handsome, followed his footsteps, and got closer and closer to the ancient Temple of Zeus.
"Detective, I'm curious how you want to catch the prisoner." The afterimage looked up at the quaint and majestic temple of Zeus, and said slowly, in his opinion, he couldn't seize the gem now, this was his only pleasure to relieve his boredom.
"Then it's up to you to work perfectly." Zheng Hanfei said lightly, walked into the temple of Zeus, looked at the statue of Zeus at the front, pinched his chin, and his brain began to analyze the code.

Zeus himself...... Zheng Hanfei repeatedly thought about what the afterimage said, the stone chair, the thunder, Zeus, the conductor...... Could it be that the door that opened the Treasure Key was that thing!
There's nothing wrong with that! Zheng Hanfei's eyes were full of identification, in this way, all the mysteries will surface, and the music of the truth should start playing.
Damn, here it is again! Excited for two seconds, the pain that made Zheng Hanfei extremely disgusted reappeared, he regretted it a little, he knew this, he should have agreed with the words of the afterimage, and then think about the whereabouts of the treasure when he said who the murderer was, but unfortunately he forgot, since he knew who the murderer was, his brain had already undergone high-density thinking, and it was a matter of time before the second personality came out.
"No, take it!" The afterimage conjured a hat from there and handed it to Zheng Hanfei.
"You ......" Zheng Hanfei was a little surprised, although from that battle he guessed that the afterimage knew that he had a dual personality, but guessing was a guess, he really knew that it was another matter, and he could see that his second personality liked to wear hats, which proved that he had terrible observation.
No wonder he can be called a thief. Zheng Hanfei sighed in his heart, this kind of observation, the second personality may not be able to compare to him.
"You're not afraid that my second personality will catch you, he has no feelings." Zheng Hanfei endured the pain and said to the afterimage, his heart was full of curiosity.
"Don't be afraid!" Afterimage said lightly, "Anyway, your second personality can't beat me, and although the second personality has no feelings, he will definitely keep his promise, you know, this is not in line with this, it is impossible to be a detective." β
"Thanks!" Zheng Hanfei took the hat, what the afterimage said was not wrong at all, even if his second personality appeared, the other party could escape smoothly, the previous three-on-one was the best proof, and Zheng Hanfei felt that at that time, the afterimage may not have used all his strength.
After putting on the hat, the second personality reappeared, glanced at the afterimage with cold eyes, snorted disdainfully, and said slowly: "How is it?" Ready to get started? β
"Of course!" Remnant nodded, "I'll do what you want, but you'll have to give me a little fun." β
"Try your best! You just have to stay here, and the rest will have to wait for tomorrow, so I don't need to say more. β
"I'm not stupid, I understand!"
"That's good! Looking forward to your performance! After speaking, Zheng Hanfei turned around and left the Temple of Zeus, and when he walked to the door, he stopped and said to the afterimage behind him, "I never say thank you to the thief, but because of your performance, I want to say to you: Thank you!" β
"Nothing!" The Remnant shrugged, "I'm a person who doesn't like bloody violence in general. I'll tell you the news that this treasure is called the Cursed Stone, also known as the shadow of Orlov, and I don't need to say why. β
"Orlov? Black Orlov? A glow-in-the-dark diamond exclusive to the Russian royal family with 67.50 carats? Zheng Hanfei said, "It is called the evil death gem by everyone, and in the past, its holders, without exception, chose to end their lives by jumping off the building to commit suicide, so this treasure ......"
"That's right! The Cursed Stone, as the name suggests, seems to have some kind of curse in itself, and those who hold it and their families will end their lives in a tragic end, and its last bearer is ...... twenty years ago"
Speaking of this, the afterimage walked up to Zheng Hanfei and whispered a few words in his ear, Zheng Hanfei nodded slightly, in this way, he also knew the murderer's motives clearly.
Cursed Stone? Glancing back at the place where the gem was buried, Zheng Hanfei thought in his heart that the so-called curse was just a fiction of people, twenty years ago, its curse lost its effect, but it was a pity that its curse lost its effect, but it made someone become the embodiment of the curse again, in order to calm the anger of revenge, and perform one tragedy after another on this island.
"It's time for it to end!" Glancing at the sun that had risen high in the sky, Zheng Hanfei said slowly: "On the occasion of tomorrow's solar eclipse, the light of truth will wash this bloody island. β
β¦β¦
At noon, Zheng Hanfei returned to the villa, in order not to attract the attention of other people in the villa, Zheng Hanfei avoided communicating with other people for various reasons, and told the others that because of what happened to Mu Tian on the island in the morning, he would now rest in the house and not disturb him, in order to prevent loopholes, Zheng Hanfei even spent an afternoon in Mu Tian's room, and even planned to spend the night there.
In the evening, because he was ready to lure the murderer out, Zheng Hanfei had to eat in the hall with the invitation and others, although he behaved the same as before, but the aura exuded from his body made others feel uncomfortable, and even some doubted what happened to Zheng Hanfei.
"That's right, Mr. Xichen." Seeing that Xi Chen was about to finish eating, Zheng Hanfei said, "I think it is not a good idea to take Wen Yu's body back tomorrow and put the body in the cabin, and Wen Yu's chest is stuck with the dagger that the prisoner once held, I think there are the fingerprints of the housekeeper on it, which just proves that the housekeeper is the murderer." β
"Good!" Xi Chen replied, "There is Mr. Lao Zheng Hanfei." β
"It's okay! By the way, I've solved the puzzle about the treasure, and I'll take you to get it tomorrow. β
"What?!" Hearing this, Xi Chen was taken aback, not as excited as he imagined, "You have found the treasure." β
"Yes!" Zheng Hanfei said affirmatively, "Isn't Mr. Xichen excited at all. β
"Excited! Agitated! Feeling a little out of shape, Xi Chen immediately nodded, "I just didn't expect Mr. Zheng Hanfei to be able to unravel the code so quickly, and he deserves to be a detective." β
"Thanks for the compliment!" Since he has said everything he should have said, Zheng Hanfei put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, said I am full, turned around and left the hall, now, he just needs to wait for the murderer to throw himself into the net.
Late at night, the cool sea breeze blows through the island, the small wooden house near the sea is not closed because the door is not closed, it is blown and rattled, the clock of the wooden house has been ticking, when all the hands point to 12 o'clock, the next day, that is, the day of the eclipse comes, at this moment, the rattling wooden door makes a loud noise, as if someone pushed open and hit the wooden house, if it is not for the fact that it is far away from the villa, I believe that other people in the villa will definitely hear it.
Where is it? A pitch-black figure walked into the wooden house in a panic, turned on the flashlight, and shone it on Wen Yu's body, and was shocked to find that the dagger on Wen Yu's chest had disappeared without a trace.
was taken away, is it a step too late? No, I didn't see anyone who came here at all, did I...... Is this a trap? When the murderer realized that he didn't want to escape from here, the lights in the wooden house suddenly turned on, and Zheng Hanfei stood at the door, staring coldly at the black shadow, and teasing in a cold tone: "Mr. Murderer, do you want to escape?" β
Kill somebody to do away with a witness! This was the black shadow's first thought, he took out the silenced pistol in his arms and aimed it at Zheng Hanfei's chest, and the moment he deducted the board machine, a playing card flew into the house from the window of the wooden house, knocking out the pistol in the black shadow's hand.
"This ...... How is this possible?! The black shadow naturally understood that the playing cards could not be made by Zheng Hanfei, so the martial artist's somewhat painful hand looked out of the window, and when he saw that the person outside the window was Mu Tian, he screamed in disbelief.
"Why, some don't believe their eyes?" Zheng Hanfei continued to provoke, but unfortunately his tone couldn't make people think in that direction at all, "Do you think he shouldn't be here, let alone do it, of course, because he ......"
