Looking at the quietly placed diary on the bed, Shirakawa remembered Mr. Butler's words.

"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 appeared in the rose garden the next day."

12 years ago, the maid strayed into this room because she was cleaning the room, and discovered the secret of the Takahashi family, so she was killed, and her body appeared in the rose garden the next day, and the Takahashi family ordered that the maid was cursed to death because she violated the rules of the "rules" manor.

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

10 years ago, Takahashi's friend also discovered the secret of the Takahashi family, because of Takahashi Yumi's prevention, the boy was not killed at that time, but was asked to keep it a secret, as a result, he left the island, and did not escape the control of the Takahashi family, perhaps also under house arrest and persecution, and finally chose to commit suicide a month later.

There is no curse of killing people at all, and all this is a cover for the Takahashi family to kill people.

This diary is Pandora's box in the butler's mouth.

Once you read this diary and know that the real name of the "artist" is Takahashi Nagakei, it will be erased by the Takahashi family.

"Oh my God! These stories are headlines from decades ago, and they're all about 'artists'! ”

Keisuke Koyama, who is a reporter, said excitedly.

"How can these stories be stored here? Could it be that there are people in the Takahashi family who are victims of the 'artist's corpse mutilation case? ”

Ota said in surprise.

"What artist?"

Few people in Kiriko Kojima's generation have heard of the demon of "artist", and she looked at the poet Keiji Yajima in confusion, and Keiji Yajima also shook his head, "I feel that the artists they speak of are different from what we understand." ”

"It was the murderer 'artist' who shocked the country 50 years ago, after he killed a woman, he would dismember the body, and then piece it together little by little into a complete shape, and put it in the most conspicuous position, only others would break it when they touched it, he called this 'puzzle' art."

"It is said that after he was arrested, the victim's relics were not found at all, and many details of the murder were not made public, and some people even suspected that it was not a real artist at all."

Keisuke Koyama's mood was very excited, "It turns out that the relics of the deceased are here!" ”

Hiromi Ichimura, a lawyer, said, "I also heard from my father that it was said that women in Tokyo were living in the shadows at that time. ”

"Yes, it was a dark time."

Da Ting Shuichi recalled the past and said sadly,

"When I was a child, I once witnessed the work of this demon, my neighbor's big sister, a beautiful and kind girl, died in the shrine, her body was cut into 306 pieces, and finally put back together, some of which did not belong to her."

"Just hearing about it, I already think it's terrible."

Hanada Shizuru said with a slight tremor in her body, as a housewife, Mrs. Hanada rarely pays attention to this kind of murder, and every time she hears about it, she is so scared that she can't sleep at night.

"yes, it's good that we didn't live in that era."

Kiko Kojima said.

The young women all agreed with Kizuko Kojima's words, and they gathered to discuss the "artist", but Chiyukiya did not participate in their topic.

She is not socially afraid, but simply hates to be in the company of many people.

She tried to look through the diary on the bed, which looked a little old, and suspected that there might be some secrets or clues hidden in it, but Shirakawa stopped her.

However, Shirakawa stopped her, but he couldn't stop everyone.

After reading the newspaper news and seeing the various objects in the cabinet, everyone began to suspect that the "artist" had once lived here.

In particular, Keisuke Koyama, a reporter who is very sensitive to news, picked up the diary and couldn't wait to open it.

"If the artist really lives here, if this is his diary, then I will write the big news that will make a national sensation!"

Keisuke Koyama's mood was very excited.

In addition to him, others also came over curiously, wanting to gather around to see the contents of the diary.

Suddenly, Keisuke Koyama's pupils shrank, and the diary slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Smack-

The thick journal fell to the ground and turned the title page.

"I'm Takahashi Nagakei, some people call me a noble aristocrat, some call me a successful entrepreneur, some call me a hypocritical philanthropist, and some call me a terrible demon, but these are not me, I'm just an artist, an artist who uses life and flesh as raw materials."

Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

"How is that possible? Mr. Takahashi Nagakei also donated to my alma mater. ”

Ota said incredulously.

"There must be some misunderstanding, right?"

Lawyer Hiromi Ichimura suddenly realized a very terrifying thing.

If Takahashi Nagakei is really an artist, then can they really get out of this island alive if they know the truth?

Even if Takahashi Nagakei was dead, the Takahashi family would never allow such rumors to spread.

"Mr. Koyama, this is indeed enough to make headlines, and I believe you will become a big reporter who will make a national sensation."

Shirakawa patted Keisuke Koyama, who was shivering, picked up the diary on the ground, and flipped through it.

Now that the magic box is open, isn't it a waste not to look at it?

"On March 1st, I went to a funeral and met a pure and lovely girl, Kamiya Momi, who died without her mother. But she didn't cry, she told me that in this big family, she was the most inconspicuous one, and she was treated coldly by the mistress all the year round, and I listened to the girl's words and comforted the girl, saying that she was looking forward to meeting me again. ”

"On March 5th, the Shanggong family sent a funeral invitation again, this time it was the eldest daughter of the Shanggong family who died, it is said that she has been in good health, and suddenly died violently, this is really sad news, I went to the funeral on behalf of the family, and met the girl Shanggong Momei again, we talked for a long time before saying goodbye, I felt the girl's love for me, she said that she looked forward to meeting me again."

"On March 10th, the Kamiya family sent an invitation to the funeral again, the deceased was the second daughter of the Kamiya family, the girl's sister, when I attended the funeral again, the girl confessed her heart to me, I thought she was very interesting, in order to see me, she actually killed her two sisters, this time, I brought Kamiya Momei back home, she made my peaceful life colorful. I had a wonderful night with her, I am a man who likes the new and hates the old, but I promised her to love her forever, so I intend to kill her when I love her the most, so that this love will never change. ”

"On March 11th, I killed Uemiya Akimi, dismembered her body, and put it back together, which I found interesting, she gave me inspiration to create, she was my muse, but she was my own and I couldn't show it to the public, which made me very distressed, maybe I should kill someone who could show it publicly, someone I didn't have the emotion to give.

I have to admit that I may be sick, the killing has brought me joy like never before, I have come up with a good idea for the family business, why don't we move towards the cultural side? Why not collect antiques and works of art and multiply your money infinitely over time? ”

"On April 30th, in the process of collecting antiques, I came into contact with Miss Kishia Sako, who is a transit dealer who specializes in stealing porcelain from abroad, which I like very much, but I prefer Kishia Sako, I killed her and put it together with a broken piece of porcelain......"

"On May 3rd, my father arranged a marriage for me, I didn't like this way, but the other party was a very beautiful young lady, so I couldn't help but want to start creating again, but her family background was very strong, I couldn't create on her, I could only kill her maid......"

"On September 10th, I met a lovely girl in the countryside......"

Shirakawa flipped through Takahashi's diary, which recorded the details of how he killed all the women, as well as how he drew inspiration from them to make the family business take off.

This is a demon full of deformed hobbies and a high IQ.

He created a lot of wealth for the Takahashi family, so after the previous Takahashi family owner knew that he had killed someone, he chose to conceal the facts, until he found that Takahashi Nagakei was becoming more and more uncontrollable and committed more and more crimes, and the Takahashi family owner bought the island and put Takahashi Nagakage under house arrest here.

This diary, coupled with the relics of the deceased placed in the cabinet, was enough to convict Takahashi Nagakei.

Shirakawa put the diary back in the trembling reporter Keisuke Koyama and patted him on the shoulder, "You won't let go of the opportunity to make a name for yourself, will you?" ”

"I, I, I."

Although he was still a little scared, Shirakawa's words seemed to have some kind of demagogic power, which stimulated Koyama Keisuke's nerves, and he hugged the diary tightly,

"For the sake of journalistic justice, I will definitely expose him."

Mr. Reporter exposes this matter, and everyone knows about it, then we will be safe.

The premise is that you get out of the island alive first.

From now on, the scavenger hunt is upgraded directly to a survival game.

Shirakawa sighed silently in his heart.

"What now? We know the secret of the Takahashi family, and they won't let us go. ”

Kuramoto Tomorrow looked at Dr. Seo with a nervous expression.

Mrs. Hanada was also aware of the closeness between the doctor and Kuramoto Tomorrow, but she didn't say anything, just stood silently behind Dr. Seo.

"Don't worry, everyone, there is only the housekeeper Tanimoto Hideyuki on the island, we just need to catch him and prevent him from ventilating to the outside world, and no one will know that we have entered the third room."

Shuichi Oniwa's suggestion was echoed by the majority.

So the burly and muscular Tanida Fu, Koyama Keisuke, Ichimura Hiromi, Masao and other men were responsible for subduing Mr. Housekeeper at the door and locking him in the basement, and enjoyed the same treatment as John.

Hideyuki Tanimoto, who was tied up, still maintained his solemn appearance, "You will be cursed by the rules, and no one will be spared." ”

"Hahaha, hahahahaha."

From the basement came John's twisted sneer, and Tanimoto Hideyuki's serious curse words.

"Is it really okay to lock up Mr. Butler?"

Kiko Kojima looked at Shirakawa worriedly.

"I'm afraid we won't be really safe until Mr. Reporter's report comes out, in short, the more people know about this matter, the safer we will be."

Shirakawa recounted calmly.

"Don't worry, it's my mission to report the truth."

Keisuke Koyama suddenly had a feeling that he had become the savior of everyone, and said in a high-sounding voice.

At the same time, he looked at Kojima Kiko with a strange look.

The group has a shocking secret, but they don't get any clues about the treasure, so they plan to open a second door.

The second Forbidden House.

Shirakawa took out the key and opened the door.

With the creak of the door, the dust slammed down again, and this time everyone was prepared to cover their mouths and noses.

The furnishings and layout of the rooms are no different from those of the other 15 rooms, except that there are chains on the walls and black marks on the floor.

It seems that a person was once imprisoned here.

Shirakawa picked up the rusty shackles on the floor, and recreated the old scene of the room in his mind.

A man was chained and sat in the corner of the room.

So who is this person? Also from the Takahashi family? Or is it an outsider?

[Item: Shackles]

[Identification results: The shackles that have not been used for many years have been used to lock Takahashi Yuki. 】

[Evaluation: The big family treats their children equally cruelly.] 】

it! This detainee turned out to be Yumi Takahashi!

Is it because after she heard the truth from her friend, she wanted to kill her relatives and report her family, but she was locked up?

On the dusty table was a photograph of a woman who looked a little like Yuran Takahashi, and Shirakawa guessed that it was Takahashi Yuki.

"There's women's clothes in the closet, and this must have been the room of a young lady or a lady, maybe this person had a special hobby to put this kind of thing on the wall?"

Modern poet Keiji Yajima analyzed.

"Let's see if there's any mountain monkeys, chickadees, idols and anything like that mentioned in love letters."

The crowd chattered and searched around the room.

Only a thousand snowy nights are missing.

Shirakawa walked into the bathroom and saw Qianyuki Ye squatting on the ground and tapping on the tiles.

"Catchy?"

Shirakawa asked.

Qianyukiya nodded, reached into the gap in the brick with a dagger, knocked open the tile, and found a few letters.

This way of hiding letters seems to be familiar to her.

This time, Shirakawa didn't stop her from opening the letter, but squatted down and checked it with her.

[Hello to strangers:

I am Yuki Takahashi, a poor man who wants to be redeemed.

When you read this letter, it means that something has happened to me, and perhaps it also means that something is about to happen to you, and if you don't have the courage, don't read on.

I had thought that I had been born into a noble family of great prestige, that nobility and elegance flowed in the blood of my family, that I was born superior to others and that I would live a carefree life like a princess, and that was true until I was 18 years old.

It's a pity that everything changed because of Misty Island, and it was a turning point in my life, a terrible turning point.

Here, I learned about the hidden secrets of my family, and I glimpsed into the great shadows hidden in the sun.

It destroyed my proud beliefs, crushed my values and outlook on life, and I saw hell here......]

Today's one more will be served, and there will be two more later!
