After leaving Eijiro Tone's room, Kiyoshi Shirakawa took Mary to the kitchen once more, and learned the location of all the table clocks in the annex from Akira Kurahashi.

After seeing the time difference watch, an extremely exaggerated idea suddenly popped up in Bai Heqing's mind.

Fifteen years ago, the inheritance was indeed hidden by Eijiro Tone on the first floor of the annex or even below.

In order to prevent anyone but him from discovering the whereabouts of this inheritance, Eijiro Tone set up a lot of mechanisms on the way through this inheritance that only he knew about the solution.

This includes the water tower that controls the water level of the annex.

The activation mechanism of the Tower of Water is not a specific device, but rather an imported table clock scattered throughout the annex by Eijiro Tone, citing interest.

On that time difference table, the time in Tokyo, Japan, is 0:00, and the time marked in all subsequent capitals is the time difference from Tokyo.

According to Shirakawa Kiyoshi's speculation, as long as the time of these grandfather clocks from all over the world is turned back to the time of their original country, it may be possible to activate the water tower.

Thinking of this, Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary went to each room with a table clock in the annex and began to adjust the time on it.

And Bai Heqing's speculation was gradually confirmed in the process.

Perhaps Eijiro Tone was also worried that after a long time, he would not be able to remember which clock belonged to which country, so the imported table clocks in each room had nameplates on them that marked their country of production very conspicuously, which provided great convenience for Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary.

Among them, the grandfather clock made in the United Kingdom is located in Eijiro Tone's room, and the grandfather clock imported from other countries has also been found in separate rooms, except for Japan, which is at the top of the time difference watch.

This is also in Shirakawa Kiyoshi's prediction, and as you can see from this time difference table, Eijiro Tone uses the time of Tokyo to determine the time difference of other countries.

In this case, the only clock that represents Tokyo time is the Water Tower at the back of the annex.

When everyone went to the back mountain to look for Clyde's corpse before, Mei Ling also mentioned to Bai Heqing that there was also a time device inside the Water Tower, and every hour, it would ring.

Now, it's almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

In Tone's room, Kiyoshi Shirakawa stood in front of the homegrown British clock, setting aside the time difference between Tokyo and London, and setting it back to 8 p.m.

"Click!"

As soon as the hour hand stopped here, the clock suddenly sounded the soft sound of the mechanism activating, and the hour hand on it stopped completely.

"Bell!"

At the same time, the time finally came to twelve o'clock, and the melodious bell rang on the water tower behind the annex, and several fountains sprayed from the spouts at the top of the tower, forming a beautiful rainbow in the sunlight.

The bell rang and the surroundings of the annex fell silent again, but the silence did not last long, and half a minute later, as if the old machine was barely starting to function, there was a sudden tremor in the ground around the annex.

"Boom!"

With this loud noise that made the entire annex tremble, several drainage outlets gradually opened on the floor of the courtyard outside the annex that was flooded by stagnant water.

Through these drains, the water in the courtyard, which was originally several meters deep, began to fall rapidly, forming one whirlpool after another on the surface of the water.

"What's going on?!"

On the back hill outside the annex, everyone who was originally looking for Kevin's whereabouts here noticed the situation inside the annex for the first time.

"Water...... Down? The eldest young master, Tone Guiyang, looked at this scene with an extremely shocked expression.

"What the hell is going on?" Kita-Kamihiko also watched this scene stunned.

"Could it be that Detective White River is ...... them?"

"That's amazing, detective brother......"

Quickly reacting from her stunned, Mei Ling quickly walked down the mountain.

"Hurry back, it seems that our two detectives are about to find the whereabouts of that inheritance."

“……”

"You're moving so fast."

By the time everyone returned to the annex, the water inside and outside the annex had already been drained from the drains, and Kiyoshi Shirakawa, Mary, and Akira Kurahashi were standing on the first floor of the annex, looking up at everyone.

Perhaps because it has been soaked in water for fifteen years, even though some waterproof protection may have been done at the beginning, the walls on the first floor of the annex are still a little blackened by the water, and aquatic plants even grow in many places.

"You, what have you done? Why is the water all gone? Did you find a legacy?! The eldest young master, Ligan Guiyang, looked at the three people below, and hurriedly ran down the stairs, his tone anxious.

"We just figured out how to activate the Water Tower and let the water in the annex go, as for the legacy...... I haven't found it yet, but it's coming soon. Shirakawa replied.

"What does it mean to be fast? Where the hell is the legacy?! ”

"Come with me."

Taking a deep look at him, Bai Heqing turned around and came to a corridor on the right side of the first floor of the annex according to the mark on the graffiti he had seen earlier in Kevin's room.

On the wall at the end of the corridor is a metal map of the world, on which a model of the British Isles protrudes outward.

Bai Heqing thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pressed the protrusion into it.

"Click!"

Behind, a heavy sound sounded again in the hall on the first floor, and Tone Guiyang hurriedly turned back and found that the huge pillar that was originally standing in the center of the hall on the first floor suddenly opened a secret door.

Inside the secret door was a staircase leading to the bottom, dark and bottomless, and in it, a figure staggered up the aisle under the gaze of everyone.

"Kevin?!" Looking at him, the two young masters of the Ligan family couldn't help but shout.

The figure was Kevin, who seemed to have just been soaked in the water, soaking wet, and his clothes were scratched all over his body, looking rather embarrassed.

"Although I thought that you should find my whereabouts soon, I never expected that you would find a way to release all the water in the annex, which is really ...... With so much water pouring in, I almost drowned under you......"

Walking out of the aisle, Kevin sat on the ground and looked up at the crowd, still with that hearty smile on his face.

It seemed that he didn't care at all about leaving everyone behind to find the inheritance alone.

Of course, he didn't care, but someone did.

"You guy!" The eldest young master, Ligan Guiyang, rushed forward directly, grabbed him by the collar, and asked in a vicious tone: "Is my father's inheritance down there?!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, young master, what's down there, don't you go down and see?"
