19. Cover up the truth
It was close to noon, and no matter how much I investigated, there was no way to find a way to open the dark grid.
"Maybe it's just a one-time use of the cell, take out the contents with violence, and then don't use it anymore. ”
Watson, who had lost some patience, had already tried to warp with his knife against the gap between the floors, but the firmness of this secret door was far greater than expected, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to open it if it were not for violent destruction.
"Smash it open, I don't think it will affect the floor just by smashing it open. ”
"But...... Would anyone have devised such a one-off secret door?" said Claire, "and maybe there would be some mechanism somewhere else, and, honestly, this room is so good, it's unethical to do such a sabotage." ”
"This is forensics, time is running out, we still have to hurry for a while, you get out of the way. ”
After waving for Claire to leave, Watson picked up the hammer he had prepared the morning and had bought specifically to smash it open, and Claire, who had nothing to do, walked to the window with a somewhat heavy heart.
There will be dust later, so it's better to stand by the window. It's just that even if you smash the secret door, but there is no best way to unlock it, this is already a failure for your profession. Although no one saw it now, and no one knew it, it was only himself and Watson in this room, but ......
A somewhat depressed Krell looked out the window, the snow from last night had melted a lot under the light of the morning sun, and the snow on the ground had gathered into a small stream and flowed into the lower flower fields.
At this time, most of the flowers in the flower field are still blooming, and the blue rose in the middle of it is particularly eye-catching. As if nothing happened, she continued to stand tall in the flower field, like a princess here. Unaffected by the snow in the slightest.
Wait, did you think something wrong? It's winter now! These flowers should have withered a long time ago and only their bare stems remained, why are they still blooming as if they were in spring? Damn, when I first came to investigate here, my attention was completely attracted by the flowers themselves, and I didn't take into account the seasons at that time, how could there be flowers blooming so brightly in the coming winter in the late autumn that was already about to pass.
"Hey, Watson, wait!"
Claire immediately shouted to stop Watson, who was about to pull the sledgehammer down. "Don't smash it yet, wait a minute, I'll confirm something. ”
"What the hell, you almost hit my waist just now. ”
Watson reluctantly put down the hammer, "If you find any clueless clues, don't really look for them, time is limited, we have to set off later, some clues that don't have much connection, just leave them for later." Let's think it's entertainment. ”
"What is entertainment...... "Claire didn't have time to explain to Watson anymore, instinctively telling her that she had to solve the riddles in this room before she set off. Otherwise......
"As long as it's in this room, there's no one that doesn't have anything to do with Arya, so ...... Waiting, you can speed up if you are in a hurry, but the clues here cannot be delayed. ”
Flying rushed to the flower field, but as I saw and touched before, the flower field was still the same flower field. The flowers inside are still the same feel when you touch your hand. But......
This must be fake. Because......
"[This field of flowers has been magically planted. The flower that should have withered looks like it is still in full bloom. 】”
As Claire's declaration sounded, the flowers that were still in full bloom lost their nutrients in an instant and withered lifelessly, but these were only the majority of flowers, withered flowers, just ordinary flowers, and a few other flowers stood there as if nothing happened.
However, these flowers, without exception, are blue roses.
Why, why is it that only the blue rose has not withered? It makes no sense to explain it in superstitious terms, and it is impossible for the blue rose to not be afraid of the cold winter because they represent Arya, and they will also wither in the cold winter, which is an inevitable thing. Then, it seems that there is only one reason why these flowers are still blooming.
"Fake flowers?"
Claire muttered, and after a moment of contemplation, withdrew the hand that had just been about to pluck the flower.
If these are fake flowers, I'm sorry for the way they look. Visually, they are exactly the same as other flowers, and they smell like flowers. I'm afraid that only by plucking them can we find out the difference between them and real flowers. But Elia, why did you deliberately plant fake flowers in the flower field?
Because the real flowers wither in the winter, they plant fake flowers that are high imitations, and then they cast magic on the other flowers? But what's the point? If you do this, you don't need to look for fake flowers.
So...... Speaking of which, the location of these blue roses is also far away from each other, it stands to reason that planting together is the best choice, why do you have to plant separately?
Speaking of which, the shape of this flower field is too weird, obviously the flower field is usually a square ground, but it is a long strip, not only the area is small, but also can not get more nutrients...... However, judging from the appearance of the second floor before, it looks like a ......
"Ah, I see, hahaha, Arya is really a bit of a woman. ”
After a few laughs, Claire hurried back to the second floor of the room, where Watson was standing anxiously waiting for him.
"Hey, Claire, doping?" said Watson, "it's almost noon, and we've got to go." ”
"It's going to be good right away, and I'll be able to unravel this dark grid soon. ”
The excitement was already stuck in her throat, and Claire wished that she could now grow a pair of wings and fly straight down the window.
"Watson, let me ask you, you haven't moved the carpet on the second floor, have you?"
"Of course not, I still know the low-level precautions for protecting clues. ”
"That's good, hahaha, found it, found it. ”、
After confirming what he was thinking in his mind, Claire directly pushed open the window on the second floor, and jumped directly under Watson's stunned eyes.
Of course, Claire didn't have any wings to let her fly, and the numbness that suddenly caused her legs to fall on the snow made Claire almost unable to stand still.
No, I can't wait for a moment, because the mystery has been discovered, it's just a two-story building, and you can't fall to your death if you jump. Arya's self-righteous cleverness is actually a method of adding to the snake, and she has made the greatest contribution to her accidental discovery and decryption.
Wait, Arya, soon, I will be able to reveal the truth you are hiding behind! (To be continued)
