The southern suburbs outside Huaishan City

The large green hillside rises and falls, like a thick green carpet.

On one of the slopes, there are some yellow and white dots sparsely dotted, all of which are single and double-storey buildings. Most of these small buildings are cubes, made of pale yellow and whitish stones.

On the edge of the small building, on the door frame, there are green vines crawling everywhere, and some vines are still blooming with small white and yellow flowers.

Underneath one of the two-storey buildings, there are two round arch openings, which form a semi-open shade area.

There are two tables in the doorway, and next to one table on the left, four people are sitting drinking tea and resting.

Two middle-aged men each took a young woman and sat opposite each other.

The older man, with a beautiful mustache, neat and delicate black suit, and a brown wooden cane in one hand, looked to be about forty years old. He picked up the wooden cup of black tea on the table and took a sip.

"Mr. Kelly has come to talk to me about the collection of doom antiques, and this enthusiasm is really rare. ”

His gaze fell on the face of the middle-aged man sitting opposite.

The opposite side is slightly pale, with short pale blonde curly hair, a golden mustache on the chin, and a neat white west. It gives an elegant and relaxed temperament. He is also much younger, estimated to be only thirty years old.

The most important thing is that the other party's eyes, like the finest rubies, are crystal clear and exceptionally clear.

"It is Mr. Mercury's passion that amazes me, not only in collecting doom antiques and jewelry, but also in tracing back to their original origins. ”

The man sighed.

"In fact, none of us collectors are mainly interested in these things? The most desired life is to come home and see the objects and antiques in our own home, each of which has a mysterious origin. It's like it's like"

"It's as if along with our own dwellings and lives have become mysterious, as if they are filled with unknown liliang. Tari added with a smile.

"That's what it feels like!" the blonde man nodded, "Life is always so boring! Perhaps this is our greatest interest in collecting doom antiques. ”

"That's right!" Tari Mercury nodded with deep feeling, his eyes inadvertently swept over the wrist of the other man, "I was also involved in the case at the beginning, I accidentally obtained a bad luck antique, but I didn't expect to become more and more obsessed with collecting this thing later." In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and there are hundreds of doom antiques collected at home, whether they are true or fake. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and time flies so fast."

"Hundreds!?" the blonde man's eyes lit up, "That's really a big deal!" It's worthy of Detective Tari Mercury, and it must definitely not be the same as the goods you just took out, so is your coming here this time also related to the antiques of bad luck?"

"It's not all. Mercury shook her head, took the pipe handed by Miss Silan, inhaled gently, and slowly exhaled the smoke ring. "This time I'm tracking down an old rival among criminals, for that serial murder and robbery. Now that the case is over, it's time to take a look here. ”

"Is that so? Could it be the famous Golden Ring Thief?" the blonde man reached out and pinched his beard thoughtfully, and when he saw the detective nodding in affirmation, he continued: "The Golden Ring Thief has committed dozens of crimes in a row throughout the Federation. It is said that apart from you, there is only one other equally well-known detective who has ever come into contact with him head-on. I wonder if you can tell me more about the Golden Ring?"

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to say it, but the police department has a confidentiality treaty. Tarry Mercury shrugged, "Alright, I'm going to go to Silveryarn Castle in the afternoon, I wonder if Mr. Kelly is in the mood to go with me." ”

"Oh, Silver Yarn Castle, I've heard of this dilapidated castle in Huaishan City for so long, it seems to be an inheritance inherited by an officer, and now I don't have the money to take care of it, and the contents are almost sold. The blonde man Kelly said in a low voice, "I heard that the castle was originally going to be sold, but it was too dilapidated, and the location was too remote, it was not convenient to buy anything, and the people who went to see it had no intention of buying it, do you want to buy it?"

"Just go and visit, buy it and don't do it. Tari Mercury smiled. Turning his face to whisper a few words to Miss Slan, the latter nodded, stood up and walked towards another small two-story building not far away, and soon disappeared into the dense green bushes.

"The vegetation here is very dense, and there is no sign of depression in autumn, and if it weren't for the fact that it was too far from my hometown, I would have wanted to move here. Tari mercury puffed out a puff of smoke rings, and he was deeply touched.

"That's right, that's how I am, I don't want to leave when I settle down. Kelly replied with a smile. He also said a few words to the white-gold ponytail woman beside him, who immediately got up and walked to the black car on the road outside the small building.

"It's a two-hour drive from here to Silver Yarn Castle, and it's almost five o'clock in the afternoon, so it's night. Or is Mr. Tari going to spend the night there?" Kelly wondered, standing up.

"I do spend the night there occasionally these days, and that's not unusual. I had already consulted with Nasves, the owner of the castle, and paid a rent, and the castle was rented to me for two months. Anyway, everything inside was emptied, and he wasn't afraid of being taken away. Tarry Mercury stood up, "Alright, Mr. Kelly, you still don't have to drive your car. There is no place to refuel here, so it is better to take a horse-drawn carriage. ”

"That's right. I'm going to have to bother you for a day or two. ”

"It's nothing, everyone is the same way, I also rarely meet a friend who has the same interests as me, to tell you the truth, in the circle of friends my hobbies, have been criticized by everyone. Okay, without further ado, then I'll go and bring the carriage over, and we'll see you in the driveway. ”

"Well, I'll see you in a moment. ”

Kelly stood at the table, took a sip of his tea, and watched as the mercury in the tower slowly cut through the grass towards a black two-carriage that was driving in the far driveway. Miss Silan, dressed in a white trench coat, just jumped off the bus stop and waited for him on the side.

The lane twists and turns, spreading into the distance, like a long gray snake, stretching into the distance. In the distance of the front lane, there are two ox carts dragging golden wheat slowly.

A warm breeze blew, bringing up the hem of Kelly's white suit, and the air was filled with a leisurely and comfortable slow pace of life.

He touched his chin.

"This beard is really realistic. ”

"Of course. The white-blonde ponytailed woman who had left earlier returned to him. "The route to Silver Yarn Castle is at least two hours by carriage, and then there is a mountain road that is more remote. We're probably going to have to spend the night there. ”

"Mr. Tari promised me to stay in the castle. Kelly smiled. "Let's go, don't keep our detective waiting. ”

The woman looked at Kelly's back as she slowly walked away, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. Although he knew that it was a disguised appearance, no matter how he looked at it, Kelly was much more mature and real than Garon. Not at all like a teenager.

It's as if Garon is Kelly's disguise, and Garon, who becomes Kelly, is the one who really reveals his true nature.

Shaking her head slightly, without thinking too much, she hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked one after the other towards the carriage waiting in the far driveway.

Before getting into the car, Garon casually tore a small purple-red flower from the grass around him, sniffed it gently, and saw a lot of fine black insects crawling in the center of the stamen, like ants, and the flowers had no fragrance at all.

The four of them got into a double row of carriages, with the two of Tari in the front row and Garon and Grace in the back.

The whip sounded slightly, and suddenly the two yellow huss horses slowly dragged the carriage forward, and the bell around their necks began to ring.

Seeing Garon pluck a fuchsia flower in his hand, Tari Mercury said with a smile.

"The flowers here don't have any fragrance, but it's strange that they can provoke a lot of bugs, and I don't know if it's weishenme. ”

Garon stretched out his index finger and let a small black worm crawl down the petals of his finger, tickling. The small insect resembles a black ladybug that has shrunk many times over, and its two semicircular wings open and close from time to time to maintain balance.

"Isn't it normal for there to always be different strange phenomena around the place where the Doom Antique originated?" he smiled. "If it's the same as the usual place, it won't attract us to come here. It's a pity you didn't have any other antiques with you, otherwise I might have been lucky enough to feast my eyes on them. ”

Tari Mercury laughed.

"I originally thought you were a liar who brags nonsense, but I didn't expect that the few doom antique imitations you took were all spotted by you. I didn't expect to meet a confidant like you here. I thought I was the only one who liked to study doom antiques. ”

"Me too. Garon removed one of the petals, popped the carriage lightly, and laughed along. "But what exactly is there about Silveryarn Castle that deserves your attention? I don't know much about how long I've lived here. ”

Mercury handed the whip to Silan and asked her to hurry on her behalf, taking out a stack of white papers from her purse and handing them over. "Here's some of the information I've gathered, you can take a look. ”

Garon took it and glanced at the first headline: The Castle Master Died Suddenly. The following is a large report about the process of discovering death.

Turning the second page, it's a similar title.

The third page is the same, but there is an extra photograph with the pattern of a silver gauze castle on it.

Three successive owners of the castle have all died, and the murderer is unknown, all of them died peacefully in their own beds, without any signs, like old men who have died of life. And the strange thing is that the three masters are all young and strong middle-aged officers.
