Markovsky came back to his senses, "Those three drunks must also be pretended to be Bai Lang's subordinates, and their main purpose is to hurt Bunin, first, to distract themselves, and second, to make themselves alone." Alas, it doesn't matter if you are careless for a while, it will cause Bunin to suffer so much. Markovsky was remorseful.

"Bunin, don't worry, it'll be fine after a few weeks of recuperation, you can rest in peace first, and leave the rest to me, today's incident is also a trap set by Bai Lang, one of those three people is Bai Lang himself, he let those two people attract me, but he used judo to break your arm, blame me for just trying to be happy for a while. Don't worry, I'll avenge you. ”

Unfortunately, Markovsky's comfort and encouragement did not prevent Bunin from fainting from the severe pain. Looking at the pained faces of his friend and assistant, Markovsky suddenly thought of something, and a glimmer of inspiration came to his heart. He asked the doctor to take Bunin to the hospital for surgery, and he hurried away.

"I was so eager to win that I forgot the saying 'Zhangba Lantern Tower, shining from afar and darkness near'. What a detour! ”

He laughed at himself and hurried back to the law office, where he looked closely at the stone next to the door, and sure enough, he found a line of small letters carved on the stone to the right of the door:

Designed by Yi Zoda in 1905

There is such a line on the buildings on both sides of the office.

"Haha, but I found a breakthrough, those two houses, I'm afraid it's the same!"

Markovsky quickly rushed to the general's house, and after a closer inspection, as expected, the doorpost of the house was also inscribed:

Designed by Ezoda in 1904

The same words are also engraved on the adjacent house next door. Only the age is different, the year of the lawyer's house is 1905, while the general's house was built in 1904.

Markovsky had a feeling of seeing the light of day, and couldn't help but say: "The truth of the strange cases that happened in the three houses can be revealed." After finishing speaking, he unconsciously looked around to see if anyone was watching.

Markovsky made a phone call to Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Lan at a nearby post office.

"Hey, I'm Markovsky, I have something to ask you, what year was your house built?"

"Now I live in a newly built house, and the old house I used to live in was destroyed by a fire 30 years ago."

"What year was it built and who designed it?"

"It was built in 1907 and was designed by Yi Zoda."

"Oh, thank you so much, goodbye!"

"Yi Zoda? The name is familiar, it seems to have been heard somewhere. Markovsky thought so, he went to the library to check the Who's Who of Modern Architecture, and learned that Izoda was a famous architect born in 1864, who had won the Grand Prix of Architectural Design in Rome, and the government of Dongzhou awarded him a medal, and he also left many works on architecture. No wonder the well-read Markovsky had this man in mind.

He went to the pharmacy and inquired about the address of the hospital, so he went to visit Bunin.

Bunin had a cast on his right arm and was lying weakly on the hospital bed, with some fever.

"Bunin, cheer up, I'll tell you good news, our case has progressed, I've grabbed the fox's tail, and the mystery will soon be revealed."

Bunin barely opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "What...... What's the clue?"

"Regarding the disappearance of Bai Lang in the lottery case, the disappearance of the murderer when the old general was killed, and the disappearance of Sapphire in the Sapphire Case, I have the latest discovery of the mystery of the three cases.

"The locations where these three cases took place have a common feature, all three houses were designed by the same architect. The architect was called Yi Zoda, and he designed these houses more than 30 years ago, and Bai Lang used these three houses as a stage to stage a good show of theft. ”

"I see, that's great." When Bunin heard the news, he forgot about the pain on his body with excitement for a moment.

"From this point of view, these three houses must have added some special designs when they were designed, such as the door of the hideable people, the shadow wall, the secret passage, etc., which provided convenience for Bai Lang to commit crimes. I'm going to visit the designer now, get to the bottom of the secrets, and block the way for Shirakuro to escape, and now there are six days left, and I have to find a breakthrough before the appointed time to capture Shiraku. ”

"Alas, it's a pity that I was injured and hospitalized at a critical moment, and I can't help you, I'm really sorry."

"Where, as long as you recover from your injury, I feel the greatest relief, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and I will deal with him alone."

"Can't you ask Wu Changhao for help temporarily?"

"I don't need him yet, but sooner or later, I'll have to. When my evidence is conclusive, I will let him come forward to arrest Bai Lang. ”

"You have to be careful, don't fall for Bai Lang's tricks again."

"No, eat a trench and grow wise! How can you get old fooled? But you really have to be careful. Falling into the sand from a high altitude, startling a horse and hitting people, and using alcohol to commit murder, Bai Lang's methods are really endless, but you have injured your arm, but fortunately, your life is still there, which is a great luck in misfortune.

"I won't be able to come to see you often in the future, lest Bai Lang's subordinates find out that you are here, and it will be unfavorable to you. Miss Nurse, please take care of this gentleman for me! ”

Markovsky shook the close friend's left hand, gave the nurse a hint, and left the hospital.

Markovsky went directly to visit the designer Izoda. His building is on the corner of the street and looks very spacious.

Markovsky had already changed his face, disguised himself as an old man in old clothes with gray temples and knocked on the door of the house. He handed a letter of recommendation to the servant who opened the door, and was ushered into a large circular room, where large and small bookshelves were piled up, mostly large to the ceiling, with books on domestic and foreign architecture, probably the designer's private library. Markovsky looked around and looked up to see that the hallway of the attic encircled the entire room.

"Are you Mr. Steven?" Izoda asked Markovsky as he looked at the letter of recommendation.

"Yes."

"In the letter, my secretary recommended you to take his place, and he was a little unwell, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"The job you have to do is to catalogue and register my collection, some of which are in D, I wonder if you are proficient in D?"

"There should be no problem, I have many years of experience." Markovsky replied with a strong D-country accent.

"Very well, then you can get to work!" Izoda had no doubts, and Markovsky got the job easily. As he worked, he secretly inspected everything about the house.
