In the gray basement, the incandescent lamps emit flickering lights, obviously the voltage is not stable.

The people gathered, in groups of three or five, were talking about the clues to the treasure in John's mouth.

A young man with a melancholy temperament and a beautiful girl came belatedly and walked into everyone's sight.

The blonde man in the corner, bound by ropes, showed a hideous and twisted smile.

"I heard that you have a clue to the treasure, you must wait for me to come."

Shirakawa looked at John calmly, and in just one night, the handsome blonde painter, who was intent on being treated as a pawn, had become an unkempt prisoner.

Shirakawa didn't have the slightest sympathy for him, and he didn't have the slightest sympathy for Sally, who was already dead.

Through the identification technique, Shirakawa learns that Sally not only killed Shunji Nishi with her brother, but also killed four innocent people in a row abroad before.

John nodded, "Yes, you come here, come and I'll tell you, I'll only tell you." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Shirakawa, and it seemed that Shirakawa's face was about to be written with 100 million.

"Let's put it this way, I'm not a person who wants to have clues to myself, and I can't give up calling the police just because you told me clues, since you killed someone, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility."

The meaning of Bai Chuan's words is to remind everyone here that this is a cold-blooded and ruthless murderer, how can he kindly tell himself the clues of treasure hunting, if there are clues, he will not fall for Bai Chuan in the first place.

As long as the people present are not stupid, they can understand what Shirakawa means.

"Yes, how could John have a clue to the treasure, and even if he had, he wouldn't want to share it with us."

Modern poet Keiji Yajima said.

"yes, what are you doing this for? Do you still want to provoke us? ”

Reporter Keisuke Koyama asked.

"Well, since you don't want clues, then I'll tell the others the same, as long as anyone names the murderer of my sister, I'll tell him all the clues I know about the treasure."

The smile on John's face gradually replaced gloom, and he didn't know anything because he had been knocked unconscious last night.

When I opened my eyes this morning, I saw Sally's body.

"Murderer? There is no murderer, your sister obviously committed suicide. ”

Lawyer Hiromi Ichimura wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Lying, Sally will never kill herself!"

John roared hoarsely.

"Then let's see what happened to her, last night's situation, a woman can't think about it."

Kuramoto took out a delicate cigarette case from his makeup bag and took out a lady's cigarette from it.

Dr. Seo thoughtfully took out a lighter and lit it for her.

"That's right, in this case, it's probably impossible to think about it."

The doctor echoed.

The three middle-aged men looked at each other with some uneasiness.

The old gentleman stomped his crutches as soon as he stomped on his crutches, "Don't be fooled, everyone, if he really has clues, he can't be willing to give them to us." ”

"I think Mr. Da Ting is only half right, maybe he won't say it in a gentle way, and with some extreme means, he may be honest."

The proposal of reporter Keisuke Koyama was supported by a lawyer and an engineer, and the three of them experienced the events of last night, apparently tied to a warship.

"Mr. Tanida, weren't you a mercenary before? There must be a lot of torture, right? ”

Lawyer Hiromi Ichimura looked at the taciturn Tanida Fu.

Tanida nodded, picked up the shotgun, and aimed it directly at John's head.

But John didn't seem to be at all moved.

"You could have shot me, but I wouldn't say a word, or you could torture me, but I would only tell you fake treasure clues, and I would only tell you really useful clues if I did what I said."

John became very calm at the moment.

"Just tell me who killed Sally, and you're really going to tell me the treasure clues?"

The doctor asked.

John nodded, "Yes, what do you know, doctor?" ”

"It's the three of them, they killed Sally."

Dr. Seo pointed to Tokuji Furuta, Keisuke Koyama, and Hiromi Ichimura.

At the same time, Shirakawa also identified the three farmers individually.

Until he met Naina Takano, Nahana Takano, who was wealthy and looked ordinary, was attracted by Ichimura's talent, and Hiromi Ichimura had no love for her, but was eager for her money, so he married her and opened his own private law firm together.

Since then, his career has been smooth sailing, and Ichimura lawyers are thriving, and Ichimura Hiromi, who has a successful career, began to dislike his wife's appearance, so he always hooked up with young and beautiful female lawyers, and cheated many times, liking young and beautiful women. 】

[Evaluation: A man who is greedy for money and lustful]

When he was 10 years old, his parents died in a car accident, leaving behind an inheritance and a house.

The family of his guardian uncle Yasuhiro Takano moved into his house, and his uncle and aunt often beat and abused him, causing him to have an introverted and inferior personality.

Takano Yasuhiro's daughter, Takano Gardenia, also often cursed that he was a dead fat pig, why didn't he die earlier, so that the house and inheritance would be hers.

The uncle watched Takano Gardenia bully his nephew, not only did not stop it, but also praised it, which fueled Takano Gardenia's arrogance and began to abuse him to beat.

When he was 14 years old, his aunt and uncle went out to party, leaving only Gardenia Takano alone at home with him.

When Takano Yasuhiro returned, Takano Gardenia claimed that Furuta Tokuji had molested her, and Takano Yasuhiro was so angry that he beat her half to death and kicked her out of the house.

Tokuji Furuta felt the warmth of home here and gradually fell in love with Naina Takano.

It's a pity that Naina Takano only treats him as a younger brother.

At the age of 22, Tokuji Furuta watched his sister marry lawyer Hiromi Ichimura, and his mentality changed.

As an adult, I like to go in and out of custom shops to seek comfort, and I have never been in love, and I don't know how to love someone. 】

[Evaluation: The taboo word "dead fat pig"]

Could it be that saying these three words will arouse his psychological shadow? Or will it turn him into a beast?

[Character: Keisuke Koyama]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Charm: 5]

[Stamina: 6]

[Details:

40 years old, Osaka, single, newspaper news reporter, born poor, because of no background, has been excluded from the newspaper, the news topics that want to be reported are always preempted by others, there is no successful masterpiece, and he is still an ordinary reporter.

People who have been in contact with the bottom of Osaka for a long time, know that they are in dire straits, but they are powerless, and they hate the rich class, but they are desperate to be them.

Recently, she has been very jealous of the new generation of reporter Shuang Yuezhen, because she reported on the plastic surgery hospital case that caused a sensation across the country, and also affected the entire Yamagata Group.

Participated in treasure hunts many times, although it was fruitless, but he has always dreamed of becoming rich overnight. 】

[Evaluation: A man with a dream but a distorted mentality]

At the age of 40, I am still single, and it is really time to reflect on it.

Shirakawa looked at the three farmers and found that the lawyer and the engineer were still relatives, and the Oyama reporter and Professor Oniwa were old acquaintances.

"Doctor Seo, don't spew blood, we didn't kill anyone at all, we untied Sally's rope at the time."

The excited Furuta Tokuji was in a hurry to clear up the relationship, so he leaked his mouth directly.

"Oh, you untied Sally's rope, why?"

Kojima looked at him suspiciously, he lowered his head and did not speak.

"It was Sally who asked us for help and said that she would change her ways in the future and never again, and we were kind enough to help her, so John, you should tell us the clues."

Keisuke Koyama said.

John glared at him, "No way, how can you be so kind. ”

"It's a deal, you three must have made a deal with Sally."

Yoriko Tashiro, who is not in good spirits, said.

John instantly understood what had happened to Sally before she died, and like a beast that had risen up to resist, he rushed towards the nearest hill Keisuke.

Bang –

Tanida fired a shot that hit John in the shin, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground again.

Keisuke Koyama was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he almost peed, and he quickly backed away and distanced himself from John.

"I told the murderer, should you keep your promise."

The doctor looked at John and said.

Keisuke Koyama, Hiromi Ichimura, and Tokuji Furuta flatly denied that they had killed anyone, and blamed themselves for the doctor's moral turpitude, and had an affair with Kuramoto in the garden tomorrow.

The doctor's wife, Hanada Shizuru heard the words of the three and unexpectedly mustered up the courage to refute them,

"My husband didn't have an affair with Miss Kuramoto."

"Keep your eyes open, ma'am."

Seeing that an interrogation turned into a farce, the old gentleman shook his head and waved his cane again.

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

The sound of three crutches hitting the floor made everyone's eyes return to Ting Shuichi.

"Kuraki-kun, you're a detective, is there a way to get him to tell the truth? If his wish is to catch Sally's killer, isn't that exactly what you're good at? ”

"Yes, Mr. Court, but I don't have to serve a murderer."

Shirakawa declined the request to find out the truth for John.

"You really have the real treasure clue, that's why you disdain my clue."

John laughed.

Shirakawa glanced at him, "Yes, I do possess a true treasure trail. ”

Hearing Shirakawa say this, the crowd shifted their attention to him again.

Shirakawa said slowly,

"The clue is as John said, in the three rooms of the forbidden and the attic, so I invite everyone to explore with me, I wonder if you are free?"

"It's absolutely not going to work!"

His leather shoes were polished, his silver hair had a stroke, and Mr. Tanimoto Hideyuki, a housekeeper wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was the first to stand up against it.

But the others in the treasure hunt simply ignored his protests.

In their eyes, the curse of the rules is just a façade that doesn't want them to touch the real treasure clues.

"Kuraki-kun, are you trying to open Pandora's box?"

Mr. Butler looked at Shirakawa solemnly.

"Mr. Tanimoto, don't stop us anymore, there has been no signal on the walkie-talkie, everyone is very nervous, if you don't find the clue to the treasure as soon as possible, you don't know what accident will happen."

Kizuko Kojima kindly persuaded the housekeeper Tanimoto Hideyuki, but the housekeeper still had a straight face and was unwilling to hand over the key.

Tanida moved his shotgun and aimed it at the butler, and he frowned and handed over all the keys.

"Anyone who enters the Forbidden House will be cursed!"

The butler said one last word, and turned away angrily.

Bai Chuan took the key and looked at Qianxue Ye beside him, "Actually, you don't need to go together. ”

"Why not? I'm also short of money. ”

Qianxue Ye said calmly.

Shirakawa bowed his head and walked to the front of the line, ignoring John's unwilling roar behind him.

His plan has been exposed and cracked, and the third room he wants to explore the most is about to be set foot in by this group.

John's eyes seemed to erupt into flames, and his whole body roared like a bound beast.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him.

Shirakawa led everyone to Room 3 at the end of the second floor.

Shirakawa took out the key and opened the door.

With a creak, the wooden door opened.

A puff of dust hit their faces, and people who inhaled the dust couldn't help but cough.

Shirakawa and Chiyukiya covered their mouths and noses for the first time.

The room had not been tended to in a long time, the floor was covered with dust, and a black spider hanging from the door quickly climbed upwards and returned to its own web.

Broken oil paintings still hang on the gray walls.

There were many yellowed books on the bookcase, and there were quills and long-dried ink on the table.

It looks like an ordinary study, but it has been abandoned for more than a decade.

Everyone walked into the study and began to explore, which was divided into an outhouse and an inner room.

The inner room has a bed, a standing cabinet, and a wall plastered with newspaper news.

These stories are all cut down.

The content of the news is all about horrific murders.

Next to the small bed is a glass standing cabinet, in which various women's objects are displayed, red headbands, pearl earrings, black hairpins, scarves, headbands, bracelets, bracelets, necklaces.

There is a diary on the bed.

Shirakawa didn't touch the diary, but did a trick on the diary.

[Item: Takahashi Nagakei's Diary]

[Identification results: A diary full of criminal evidence, Takahashi Nagakei calls himself an "artist", and every time he kills someone, he likes to make detailed records. 】

[Comment: This is a diary that cannot be disclosed to the public.] 】

Shirakawa's brows furrowed slightly, Mr. "Artist", a murderer who shocked the island nation 50 years ago, turned out to be a member of the Takahashi family.

What the forbidden No. 3 really wants to seal is the evidence of the crime on Takahashi.

According to the housekeeper, this manor is inherited from Takahashi Yuran's grandfather.

Old man Takahashi named this manor 'rule' manor, the real purpose is to restrain the Takahashi family, a rebellious madman, maybe this island was bought in the first place to trap Takahashi Changjing.

Takahashi Nagakei's age is probably the son of Old Man Takahashi, the father of Mr. Takahashi, and the uncle of Takahashi Yulan.

But why leave these things behind? Still here? And not just destroy it?

Once this diary is exposed, it will affect the reputation of the entire family.

Just as Chiyukiya was about to pick up the diary, Shirakawa stopped her,

"Don't touch it."

Qianxue Ye was stunned and withdrew her hand.

Confused, Ota picked up the diary on the bed.

Shirakawa turned around and saw the housekeeper Tanimoto Hideyuki staring coldly at all this.
