"Miss Takahashi?"

Shirakawa chuckled in his heart, and heard the sound of leather shoes kicking.

He turned around and saw Mr. Tanimoto Hideyuki, the old butler with silver hair who had suffered a stroke, wore gold-rimmed glasses, wore a tuxedo, held a rattle in his hand, and had bright leather shoes.

Tanimoto Hideyuki's eyes were cold with an unclear banter, but there was an incongruous smile on the corner of his mouth,

"Boy, do you need any help?"

If it weren't for the fact that he still had his senses, Shirakawa almost turned on his watch and waited for an anesthetic needle.

At this time, Takahashi Yulan's voice finally came from the other end of the phone,

"Yes, Kuraki-kun, the signal was bad just now, can you hear me?"

"Yes."

Shirakawa said.

"Mr. Tanimoto Hideyuki is an excellent housekeeper, I believe that if he is there, your life will be taken care of better, Kuraki-kun, please help find the treasure left by my father."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Shirakawa hung up the phone and looked at Hideyuki Tanimoto,

"Mr. Butler, you just said that breaking the rules will lead to accidents, but it's scary, right?"

Shirakawa asked.

"No, it's the truth, I used to work here as a housekeeper when I was young, this is the code that my seniors told me at that time, and I have also seen with my own eyes that people who don't follow the rules meet with their own eyes."

Tanimoto Hideyuki said with a serious face.

Shirakawa took the initiative to invite him into the room to chat, and the old butler stepped into Shirakawa's room, looking at the backpack that was randomly placed on the bed, and immediately frowned.

"Don't mind if I tidy it up for you, boy."

"Don't mind."

Tanimoto Hideyuki took out the white gloves from his pocket, put them on, and then picked up the backpack from the bed and put it in the vertical cabinet of the wardrobe, and straightened out the folds of the backpack so that the two sides showed a completely symmetrical appearance, he closed the wardrobe, put his hand on the bed, and gently smoothed the folds on the futon from top to bottom, so that the sunken area that was pressed out by the backpack before showed the same horizontal line as the surrounding area, and then showed a satisfied smile.

However, when he looked up and saw that Shirakawa was about to casually throw the coat he had taken off onto the bed, his brow furrowed again.

He reached out and took Shirakawa's coat, and in just 10 seconds, he folded the clothes into tofu cubes and put them in the closet.

He smiled soothingly again.

The corners of Shirakawa's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly returned to his peaceful expression.

He was worried that the gentleman, who had a high degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness fetish, would feel highly uncomfortable because of the crooked expression of his mouth, so he reached out his white-gloved hands to his face and rubbed himself into a special human who was perfectly symmetrical on the left and right.

"Mr. Butler, can you answer me now?"

Shirakawa asked.

Tanimoto Hideyuki took off his white gloves, shook the dust off the gloves, folded them, put them in his clothes pocket, and his expression returned to a glance.

He seemed to be recalling the strange events that had happened in the manor, and said slowly,

"When Mr. Takahashi was still alive, every winter, the hot springs here could cure Mr. Takahashi's leg disease, so he liked to come here, and he was a person who liked to set rules, probably because Mr. Takahashi's father was also such a person, and this manor was inherited from Mr. Takahashi's father."

Shirakawa sat next to him and listened quietly.

When Tanimoto Hideyuki was telling, Chiyuki Mei also happened to come out of her room and saw the housekeeper telling a story, she chose to stand silently by the door and did not walk in, for fear of disturbing the conversation between the two.

Hideyuki Tanimoto continued,

"One winter 15 years ago, Mr. Sugida, Miss Yulan, and Master Juntai came here for a vacation, and Mr. repeatedly warned Mrs. and the children not to go upstairs to the attic, once they entered, they would break the rules here.

But the mischievous young master Juntai still couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity, got up quietly in the middle of the night, and ran to the attic.

"The next day, we found Young Master Juntai dead at the door of the attic."

Qianxue Yayi felt a chill down her spine when she heard this, she swallowed her saliva, and suddenly felt that the room she lived in was so close to the three forbidden rooms, and there were only two ordinary rooms separated by them.

"Didn't call the police?"

Shirakawa asked.

"Mrs. Sugida called the police, and when the police came here, they didn't find any clues, so they had to stop in the end. Mr. told everyone that the young master would die if he violated the rules, which was a curse of the rules. ”

Tanimoto Hideyuki looked at Shirakawa,

"Fourteen years ago, Mrs. Lee came here for a vacation with her pet cat, and the cat slipped into the attic, and the next day, the cat's corpse appeared in Madame's room, which scared Mrs. Lee into illness for three days.

"Twelve years ago, a maid mistakenly opened the third room at the end of the corridor on the second floor while cleaning, and her body was found in the rose garden the next day.

"Ten years ago, Miss Yumei came here with a friend for a vacation, and at night, the boy proposed to take an adventure in the manor, and he entered the forbidden three rooms despite the persuasion, and then he went crazy, and it is said that he committed suicide a month after his return.

"5 years ago, a group of ignorant maids ran to the attic to party, and the next day they all disappeared, 12 people, and none of them were found.

"3 years ago, Miss Naomi took her lover here for a vacation, and the lover who was looking for excitement had to court in the attic, and the two ignored the dissuasion of the servants. As a result, when they left the island, the passenger ship had an accident and sank on the reef, and both of them died at sea.

"So boy, don't kill you because of your curiosity."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Butler for the reminder."

Although through Takahashi Yuran, Shirakawa knew that this housekeeper was genuine, but he did not shy away from saying that the manor where he invited the guests to live was a murderous house, which still made Shirakawa a little concerned.

Shirakawa decided to use the sixth appraisal today on this housekeeper.

[Character: Tanimoto Hideyuki]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Charm: 6]

[Stamina: 7]

[Details:

52 years old, a native of Yokohama, the housekeeper of the Misty Island Rule Manor, a distant relative of the Takahashi family, both parents have passed away, wife Runa Ozawa, son Tanimoto Daiyama, granddaughter Misato Tanimoto.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness, and at the age of 24, he was sent by his father to Takahashi's house as a housekeeper, because he was meticulous in his work, and he was very favored by Takahashi North, making him the second housekeeper of the rule manor.

Because of his long-term work, he neglected his wife's feelings, and his wife always complained about him and demanded that he pay his salary in full.

His wife once betrayed him once, but he chose to forgive his wife because of his tolerance.

Because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder, he also cheated once, in order to achieve balance, and told his wife about the cheating, and his wife forgave him generously.

The son's marriage is happy, but the daughter-in-law has not given birth to an heir, and the granddaughter is not her own, but a poor child adopted by Tanimoto Daizan......]

[Evaluation: A conscientious Mr. housekeeper will always dream of those who die under the rules.] 】

The information identified is somewhat small, and most of the parents of the housekeeper and family members are short and not targeted enough.

Tanimoto Hideyuki was quite satisfied with Shirakawa's attitude, and when he left the room, he saw Chiyuki Mei with a frightened expression and comforted,

"A cautious and rule-abiding lady like you should be safe."

"Thank you."

Qian Xue Ya responded with her head bowed.

After Tanimoto Shu walked, she immediately walked into Shirakawa's room and looked nervously at the young man with a calm face,

"Kuraki-kun, aren't you afraid? So many people died here. ”

Qianxue Meiyi bit her lip and said worriedly.

Bai Chuan stood up, walked to the coffee table, picked up the delicate teapot, poured a cup of black tea in the teacup, and handed it to Qianxue Yayi,

"It's still hot, Mr. Butler is very sweet."

"I have it in my room too."

Although Qianxue Yayi said this, she still reached out and took the black tea.

"I guess Miss Takahashi invited us here probably not just for treasure hunting."

Shirakawa already smelled the case.

"Is it to investigate the death of Toshiyasu Takahashi back then?"

Chiyuki asked in surprise.

Because she is very smart, among all the characters, she sorted out the closest person to Yulan Takahashi, Toshiyasu Takahashi.

The two should be sisters and brothers, and unlike those ladies, the ladies in Mr. Housekeeper's mouth are not Mr. Takahashi's wife, and the title of the wife should be Mrs. Takahashi.

These ladies were Mr. Takahashi's lovers, and every year he seemed to bring a different lover on vacation.

And the treasure hidden here is also in honor of a certain lover, probably his favorite one.

Chiyuki Mei's thoughts coincide with Shirakawa.

Shirakawa smiled and looked at Chiyuki Mei, "Mei-san, you are very smart sometimes. ”

"Hmm~ Why do you say sometimes, I've always been smart."

Qianxue Mei pouted.

When Shirakawa heard that familiar interjection, he couldn't help but be in a trance.

There used to be a cat girl who always whispered in her ear.

It's a pity that this girl is now far away, and I don't know when we will meet again.

"Kuraki-kun, you can't be thinking about others, are you?"

"Mei Yi, let's hurry up and look at the clues and guess where the treasure is."

Shirakawa said.

Chiyuki nodded.

Shirakawa took out his phone, flipped through the photo album, and clicked on the photo where he had taken a love letter.

The love letter reads.

[Yuzu:

You broke into my heart like the rising sun, making me feel like I was back in my youth.

I love your green silk like a waterfall, your starry eyes, and your milky skin.

But Yuxiang, are you really willing to associate with me who is too old? You're so young, the same age as my granddaughter.

Everyone despises your love for me, and thinks that you are nothing more than a greedy for vanity and a lover of money.

I am the only one who thinks that money is also a part of me, and I am willing to leave you wealth, but you need to find it yourself.

Fog, fog, bury my treasure, and bury my love for you.

The prank you have set up,

I fell on purpose,

Just because I want to see your smile.

In the steaming mist, under the pitch-black statues, the gods are also blessing us,

Lively are jumping, like your heart.

Cute mountain monkeys are running, just like your youth.

It was a big gamble.

You have suppressed your youth.

Won a scorching heart.

I hope you and I are both winners.

In love, we don't distinguish each other, but I'm getting old.

I love a walk in the sunset more than a kiss in the sunset.

As the last rays of sunlight faded, I closed my eyes.

I'm looking forward to going back in time and when we meet again, at our youngest time. ]

This love letter is a bit informative.

It seems to be a love story between an old man and a young girl.

But Shirakawa knew that it was written to a friend.

Could it be that Mr. Takahashi regards Miss Yuzu as a friend? It's really complicated.

"Kuraki-kun, this treasure was obviously left by Mr. Takahashi to Miss Yuzuka, why did Miss Takahashi say that it was an inheritance left by her father and let us find it?"

Chiyuki asked puzzled.

"There are three possibilities.

The first is that this love letter may never have been delivered to Miss Yuka, who did not know about it.

The second is that Miss Yuzuka had already learned about it, but she couldn't find it with her own ability, and it happened that Miss Takahashi also knew about it, so Miss Takahashi invited us to come here to hunt for treasure.

The third is that after Mr. Takahashi's death, Mr. Takahashi's children didn't want the treasure to be obtained by others, even though the love letter clearly stated that it was left for Miss Yuzuka, but they didn't approve of it, so they asked us to find the treasure. ”

"No, there's another possibility."

Qianxue Mei Yi suddenly said, it seems that these three may have given her new inspiration as Bai Chuan said.

Shirakawa looked at her in surprise,

"What?"
