The 424 invincible duo intends to speedrun
After returning to the rest hall of the annex, the two young masters of the Tone family first informed the rest of the group about the situation on the bridge.
And in the face of such a dangerous situation like a blizzard mountain villa, the rest of the people did not react too much worry and panic.
This is also in line with Bai Heqing's previous guess, long before him and Mary, these people have been on the island for a long time, and they have some understanding of the situation here.
They knew very well that the island was currently well stocked, and they only needed to wait for a few days before someone from the outside world would come to the rescue, so there was no need to worry too much about it.
After informing everyone of the current situation, the two young masters of the Ligon family locked the rest hall, which will not be opened again for the next few days, until everyone is rescued.
Locked in the hall together, there was also Yang Douxin's body that was temporarily stored in the refrigerator, as well as the physical evidence in the hall that could prove that he was poisoned.
When the police come to the island, these will become evidence for the police to track down the murderer.
As for Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary, the two went to the warehouse of the annex together, and they had to check the condition of the gunpowder stored in the warehouse.
After that, the two of them have to test the rest of the island, gather their information, and then locate the identity of the murderer among them as quickly as possible.
Time is urgent, and neither Shirakawa Kiyoshi nor Mary has any intention of wasting time.
In this case, the two should have gone their separate ways, but ......
Since the identity of the murderer is still uncertain, although Shirakawa Kiyoshi is not worried about his own safety, he is more worried that Mary will be attacked by the murderer, considering that Mary is accompanying him to the island, he believes that he should at least have the responsibility to ensure Mary's safety.
As for Mary, she is also not worried about her own safety, she is more worried about Bai Heqing, after all, his injuries are not healed, if something happens to him again, how can she explain to Bai Heqing's family and friends?
In this way, under the mentality of Shirakawa Kiyoshi thinking that "I should keep you safe" and Mary thinking that "I can't let you get hurt again", both of them tacitly did not propose the idea of splitting up.
“……”
Since there is no connection between the warehouse and the annex, Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary went to the warehouse by assault boat outside.
It was a small house, and standing on the stone platform in front of the warehouse, Shirakawa was about to open the door, but his hand suddenly stopped halfway through.
"The door lock is broken." Bai Heqing said.
Around the metal keyhole of the warehouse door, there are marks that seem to have been rubbed by metal strips, and the lock of this door has been picked before.
Without twisting the doorknob, Bai Heqing stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door that originally looked like it was closed was pushed open by him.
The two walked in and found an old lady in an apron rummaging through the shelves in the warehouse.
The old lady heard the movement behind her and turned her head to look.
"The two should be detectives who were invited by the young master, right?"
"Who are you?" Mary asked.
"My name is Okuri Sumiko, and I am the housewife of this annex, and the eldest young master told me before that the gunpowder stored in the warehouse may have been stolen, so let me come and check ......"
"Is the gunpowder still there?" Bai Heqing stepped forward and asked.
"It's really gone......"
Okuri Sumiko shook her head and took out a large square porcelain jar from the shelf, which opened but was empty inside.
"I remember it was full before, who stole it......"
Bai Heqing stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the inside of the porcelain jar, put it in front of his nose, and suddenly the pungent smell of gunpowder came to his face.
"When did the door lock in the warehouse break?"
"Huh? I don't know about this, I remember that when I came to pick up something in the morning, it was obviously fine, it couldn't have been broken by the murderer, right? ”
"Who keeps the key to this warehouse?" Mary asked suddenly.
"Usually Kurahashi takes it, but if the two young masters and I want to come to the warehouse, we can also ask Kurahashi and ask him, but if someone else's words are definitely not good......" Okuiri Sumiko replied.
Kurahashi Motoaki is the old housekeeper who came to greet Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary before.
And according to Oiri Sumiko, except for the key she asked for once this morning to prepare breakfast, no one went to Akira Kurahashi to ask for the key to the warehouse again.
“……”
"There are only four people who can get the key to the warehouse." Returning to the second floor of the annex in an assault boat, Mary suddenly spoke.
"But since breakfast this morning, the key to the warehouse has been on Akira Kurahashi's body, so in reality, we can't rule out the suspicion that these people in the annex picked the lock on the warehouse just because they can get the key." Shirakawa cleared the road.
But it wasn't for nothing, at least they knew that the gunpowder used by the murderer was indeed taken from the warehouse, and they just needed to continue the investigation in this direction.
After returning to the annex, Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary quickly arrived at Kevin's door.
According to the previous analysis of the two, this sturdy man who is suspected of being a retired soldier is extremely suspected to be the one who blew up the viaduct.
"Mr. Kevin, are you there?" Standing in front of the door, Mary raised her hand and knocked on the door.
However, there was no response from inside.
"Mr. Kevin?"
Mary shouted again, but after still no response, she and Bai Heqing glanced at each other, pushed open the door and walked in.
As for the consequences of such recklessness?
They didn't think about it at all.
Even if Kevin knew, it would be nothing, just say that they are investigating, if he is not convinced...... Sorry, both of them are beings with slightly higher force points, and there is no lifeform on this island that can take down both of them at the same time.
The room was empty, and Bai Heqing walked in and quickly scanned the room layout.
"It's really a room with an ocean atmosphere." Mary said with a smile.
Kevin's room was filled with small models of sea creatures, several marine magazines on his desk, and even a diving device and an oxygen tank in the corner.
"Cigarette case." Bai Heqing squatted down and picked up two discarded empty cigarette boxes from the trash can on the side.
"It's the same brand as the cigarette butts we found in the tunnel." Mary said, taking a look at it.
"It's really a big suspicion."
Taking the cigarette case, the two closed the door and turned to leave.
When they returned to the annex just now, they went to ask the old butler Akira Kurahashimoto that Kevin had come with Clyde as an assistant.
Therefore, without any delay, Bai Heqing and Mary went directly to Clyde's room.
The two of them plan to speed up the event as fast as they can.
