"Detective brother, so you're really here?"

A laughing voice sounded at the door of the library, and Bai Heqing and Mary looked back and found that Mei Ling didn't know when she walked in.

"I just looked for you for a long time and didn't find it, and I asked the old housekeeper to find out that you came to the library...... What are you looking at? ”

As she spoke, Mei Ling stepped forward and saw at a glance the newspaper that had been put on the small bookshelf by Bai Heqing before, telling about the puppet leader who was arrested by the Singapore authorities after the war.

"Ah, this man......"

"Do you know?" Seeing that she reacted to the contents of this newspaper, Bai Heqing asked curiously.

"It's not that I know it, it's just that when I was in Singapore a few years ago, I often heard some rumors about this person, which is said to be related to a batch of treasures......

"What treasure?" Mary asked hurriedly.

"I don't know the specifics, I heard that a hundred years ago, the British Victorian royal family looted a large number of treasures from all over the world, but when they were passing through Singapore to the British island, the ship transporting these treasures was suddenly attacked by local pirates, and the ship sank into the sea, and the treasure was missing......

Halfway through speaking, Mei Ling leaned in front of the two, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously:

"Of course, there is another version of this in Singapore, which is said to have attacked those ships a hundred years ago not really pirates, but the navy under the governor of Singapore at that time.

After attacking the ships, the Governor of Singapore plundered all the treasures on board and found a hidden place to hide them, hoping to wait for the events to be over before taking them.

Unfortunately, not long after, the governor of Singapore was shot dead by the local natives while he was out hunting, and the whereabouts of this mysterious treasure became a mystery.

It was not until more than a decade ago that the puppet leader, who had been propped up during the war, accidentally found the treasures again, and like the previous governor of Singapore, the puppet leader chose to temporarily conceal their whereabouts and wait for the right time to take them away in order to be able to take them alone.

As a result, the war ended quickly, and the puppet leader was arrested before he could take the treasures, and it is said that before his death, he tried to reduce his sentence by the whereabouts of the treasures, but under pressure from the British authorities, he was soon sentenced to death.

With his death, the whereabouts of this mysterious treasure have once again become a mystery......

Speaking of which, I've always thought about it before, Eijiro Tone's inheritance shouldn't be this batch of mysterious treasures, right? ”

Mei Ling said, speculating curiously, "But if that's the case, where did Eijiro Tone learn about the whereabouts of this batch of treasures?"

Forget it, don't talk about this, now those other people are playing cards in the chess and card room, and the two young masters of the Ligon family asked me to come over and ask, detective brother, do you want to try your luck too? ”

"No, I won't." Mary replied immediately.

"Not interested." Bai Heqing shook his head.

"yes, forget it......"

Mei Ling didn't force it, nodded and was about to leave.

"Then the two of you should go back and rest early, after all, whether it is the inheritance or the matter of catching the murderer, I have to ask you to do it......"

“……”

The quiet night has passed.

Early the next morning, Shirakawa Kiyoshi arrived at the dining hall as usual, and Mary came earlier than him because she needed to make breakfast.

And before him, the rest of the people were basically there.

In addition to Kevin, this journalist who is a former retired soldier.

"What do you say? There was no one in his room?! ”

In the hall, Bai Heqing's appearance was not noticed by many people, and the eldest young master, Tone Guiyang, looked at the old housekeeper in front of him, Kurahashi Motoaki, and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Mr. Kevin is not in the room, and I have just searched for other places in the annex, but I have not found Mr. Kevin......" Kurahashi replied respectfully.

"Damn it! How so? Could it be that he ...... too?"

[There's one less person......]

Listening to the conversation between the two, after making eye contact with Mary, Shirakawa Kiyoshi sat down in his place and picked up his chopsticks.

But in any case, you still have to eat the food first.

"How do you feel that in this annex, every time there is a sunset, there seems to be one less person......" Mei Ling said quietly with a knife and fork.

"Was Mr. Kevin killed too?" Kita-Uehiko had a puzzled look on his face, "But why?" Does the killer have any reason to kill him? ”

"There's no reason." Hearing his words, Bai Heqing spoke.

"Detective White River, why do you say that?" Only then did he notice that Bai Heqing had come to the hall, and Tone Guiyang hurriedly asked.

"Missing doesn't necessarily mean that he has been killed, not to mention that Mr. Kevin has nothing to do with the inheritance, and the murderer really has no reason to kill him." Shirakawa cleared the road.

"What does Detective White River mean that Mr. Kevin is missing on his own? But the reason for his doing this was ......," Second Young Master Tone Kosuke asked.

"The legacy." Mei Ling suddenly opened her mouth and said meaningfully: "Our Mr. Kevin, maybe he has already found the specific location of that batch of inheritances......

Seeing that she spoke, Bai Heqing lowered his head again and continued to eat breakfast.

"Why do you say that?" Tone asked anxiously, and it could be seen that he was extremely concerned about the inheritance left by his father.

"There wasn't any particular reason, except that a few days before I came to the annex, this man would come to my boss every now and then to ask for information about the inheritance.

Two nights ago, when I couldn't sleep and went to the hallway to smoke a cigarette, I also saw this man wandering around the annex alone...... So there's this speculation. ”

Mei Ling replied casually that the boss she was talking about was Yang Douxin, who had been poisoned.

"Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing before?!"

"Brother! Calm down! ”

When Tone Guiyang heard this, he suddenly became excited and looked angry, while Mei Ling just looked at him with a smile.

"Master Ligen, because this is not necessary, anyway, no matter how hard our Mr. Kevin tries, it is impossible for him to take those inheritances away from this island now, instead of stopping him, it is better to let him continue to work hard, maybe he can help us find those inheritances sooner, right?"

"You're ......!"

As if his chest was blocked, Tone Guiyang stretched out his hand and pointed at him, held it for a long time, and finally sat back in his seat with a grim face and didn't say anything.

"Well, now isn't the time to think about that......"

Looking at his appearance, Mei Ling smiled and reassured: "In short, that man will definitely be fine, let's finish breakfast now, and then we will go to him together, maybe our Mr. Kevin will bring us a lot of surprises...... Detective brother, you think so too, right? ”

Asked by her suddenly, Bai Heqing glanced up at her, and then nodded slightly.

"Hmm."

It seems that the time to leave the island is almost up.
