Konoha: I, Orochimaru, have seen Hokage

After taking ten days off from school, Orochimaru, Kenji and Sagi came to the Lucia House.

The Lucia Pavilion is located on a floating island and needs to be entered by a small boat.

"Welcome everyone, hello. My name is Fujio Tashiro, the butler of Yamanouchi. You must be Mr. Ryuta Sagi, the participant, right? The two who came together are..."

Butler Tashiro was waiting at the pier early, and everyone else had arrived, only Ryuta Sagi was left.

"Is my friend."

"So that's it." The butler saluted, turned and pointed to the floating island and introduced, "The mansion on the floating island over there is the stage for this game of who is the heir to the inheritance, the Lucia Pavilion.

In addition, what I want to say is that according to the rules of this inheritance inheritance, within five days from today, you can neither leave nor communicate with the outside world. Mobile phones cannot be connected on the floating island.Do you have any questions? "

"no problem."

The floating island in the distance is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a mirage.Sitting on the boat, Orochimaru felt that the rules were wrong.

Allowing candidates to bring assistants, but prohibiting contact with the outside world, is less like a game and more like a crime.

They took a small boat to the basement floor of the Lucia Pavilion, and left after seeing off the people in the small boat, and they would come back five days later.

"Welcome everyone." A maid with a sweet smile was waiting for their arrival.

"Miss Soko!" Sagi knew her before, and introduced to Kenji and Orochimaru, "This is Kirie Kayoko who works at Mr. Yamanouchi's house. She often makes homemade snacks for us."

The ground floor of the Lucia Pavilion is the lobby and dining hall, the first floor is the guest rooms for the participants, and the second floor is the Yamanouchi study, which is also the floor of the clock tower.

The other heir candidates came earlier and were all waiting for Zuo Mu in the lobby.

"Hey...Xianzi...Come here and pour me a drink..." A middle-aged wretched uncle with the appearance of a drunk was holding a glass of wine on the sofa.

The police officer holding the sword widened his eyes and said, "Could this person be..."

"He is the teacher of the gods, a famous critic of suspense novels." Zuo Mu had met the gods at Yamanouchi's house before.

"It's him! But...it's better to be famous than to meet..." Jianchi was a little disappointed.

A lady sitting next to him complained: "Every time he finishes drinking, he will become like this!"

"Wow... Are you Mr. Umezono Kaoru? I really like your work "The Timepiece of the Belly of the Dead"..." Seeing the idol, Kenji was as happy as a child.

"It's "Sand of Death Timepiece"," Kaoru Meiyuan corrected.

Jianchi scratched his head: "Uh..."

"Ahahaha...it's really interesting, what about the teacher? Let's use the belly of the dead timepiece for the second work, hahaha..." An old man wearing glasses joked .

Umezono Kaoru pretended to be angry: "What are you talking about about the dead man's belly timepiece? It's really inexplicable! Is that right, Sagi?"

"It's been a long time since I visited you, Mr. Meiyuan, Mr. Takarata." Sagi greeted politely.

Kenji whispered to Orochimaru: "Takarata Koichi is a famous editor, I didn't expect that kid Sagi to know so many famous people... Hey, you are also famous..."

"Far less than them."

"Don't say that, you can't destroy your prestige." The sense of enemy and friend held by the sword is still quite strong.

"Excuse me, are you friends brought by Sagi?" The woman who asked was very beautiful.

Orochimaru looked at Kenji, but Kenchi shook his head, this time he didn't recognize him.

"Yes, you are..." Jianchi replied with a smile.

"Youyue Laimeng, once served as Mr. Yamanouchi's illustrator."

Kenchi patted Orochimaru's shoulder: "Although this man is not handsome and doesn't like to talk, it's just that he is a famous detective and has a close friendship with Mr. Mori Kogoro."

"Really? He has a chance to compete with the people I brought." You Yue touched the beads on the earrings.

"You brought someone too?" Jian Chi looked around, but didn't see anyone else.

"haha, yes."

Butler Tashiro coughed a few times, interrupting everyone's chat.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. Well, now I, a notary, will witness for you, and the game of who is the heir to the inheritance will officially begin.

First of all, let me release a speech taken by Mr. Yamanouchi Hengsheng during his lifetime. "

He turned on the projection, and the image of Yamanouchi appeared on the big screen, and his voice sounded in the hall.The five candidates took out their shooting equipment to record, for fear of missing a detail.

【Dear friends, hello.I sincerely thank you all for participating in this final suspense story, and here I would like you to read a code article. 】

"Wow", Tashiro lifted the covering cloth, revealing the words carved on the stone wall:

When the orchestra is in the court meeting, they are killed one by one from the front, and then the number is matched; please try to line up the beginning of the second and the beginning of the fifth, then a happy melody will appear. start.

[In addition, there is another code.Okay, everyone, please go to the second floor. 】

Everyone quickly went up to the second floor, which was also Yamanouchi's study.

Five dolls were placed side by side in order of height on the stone table by the window, which was another code.

On both sides of the doll are lamps.The butler and maid will wait until they are opened, and even if the room is dim, they can see the five dolls clearly.

From short to tall, the dolls are Ivan the double bass, Emir the cello, Oliga the viola, Tanya the second violin, and Konstantin the first violin .

[As long as these five Lucia dolls are combined with the coded article just now, and the person who solves the mystery the fastest will become the heir of the inheritance.

If no candidate solves the riddle within five days, or they are all eliminated, then whoever solves the riddle can get 50 billion inheritance.

Also, participants can choose one of the musical instruments I have prepared that they like as a reference to their willingness to participate.There must be times when that instrument will come into play. 】

"I want the biggest one, because this time it's an inheritance of 50 billion." Kami Tadaji took the double bass.

Umezono Kaoru chose the second violin: "Will someone choose this..."

"I said I wouldn't participate... oh..." Hikaru Takarata said insincerely, and took the cello casually.

"I've always liked playing the viola, so that's it."

Youyue Laimeng took away the viola, and Zuo Mu could only take the remaining first violin.

They were surrounded by five dolls, holding copied code articles in their hands.

Puzzled, they had no choice but to sit aside and think.Only Kami kept staring at the five Lucia dolls, and Sagi photographed them in all directions with the camera.

Orochimaru sat on the chair and said, "Samu, help me measure those dolls."

"Oh well."

The secret code should be related to the height of the doll, but it seems not simple, and Orochimaru can't get any answer.If the code is related to music, the probability of him solving the riddle first is very low.

For some reason, Yamanouchi stipulates that dinner must start at 10:30.At nine o'clock they were hungry, but they had to endure it.

Boom...boom...boom...boom...the melodious bells rang throughout the Lucia Pavilion, even the heavy rain outside couldn't stop it.

"Oh, my watch is 5 minutes late." Zuo Mu adjusted the old mechanical watch to ten o'clock.Now he has no money for a new watch, so he can only make do with it.

"Because it's ten o'clock, please watch the video together and enjoy your dinner after watching." Tashiro strictly followed Yamauchi's instructions before his death.

[Dear friends, is the puzzle game going well?Then let me send you a message of encouragement before dinner.

First of all, to Ms. Mei Yuanxun, you are a good junior of mine, but due to a traffic accident, you need to pay compensation and you are in huge debt.

As your senior, I also feel very sorry.In fact, I really hope that you can use my legacy to erase the boring uneasiness, and then develop your talents as a writer.

Koichi Takarata, as an excellent editor, you have published many of my works all over the world, making me familiar.

When I see you agonizing over stock liabilities, I honestly feel really bad.I hope I can help you.In order to face the fleeing family, I hope you can solve the mystery.

Then there is Youyue Laimeng, as an artist, you often provide many excellent illustrations for my works.I know that your only younger brother unfortunately became a vegetable due to poisoning in the fire.

I heard that you are paying a huge amount of medical expenses. I hope you can get the inheritance as your brother's medical expenses and living expenses.

Then there is Ryuta Sagi, you are my good neighbor and have a deep friendship with me, but because your father's business failed, even your five hounds have to be used as collateral for the loan.

I was very sad when I found out, so I hope you can use your wisdom to solve this mystery and get the inheritance to help your father pay off the loan.

Finally, Mr. Tadashi Kami, it is also a very sad thing for me that you divorced your wife who was getting along well with you.I very much hope that this legacy I leave will help with the huge alimony you are being asked to pay.

Dear friends, this is the end of my oral training, I wish you all good luck. 】

Kami Tadaji's drinking hand was shaking, and he threw the glass on the ground angrily.

"Hmph, he's always been like this! He looks noble on the surface, but in fact he uses some insidious methods to frame people. This man named Hengsheng Yamanouchi is such a person, it's really unreasonable!"

Shenmei Tadashi turned to leave, but the housekeeper called him: "Mr. Shenmei, it's almost time for dinner."

"Don't eat!" Kami Tadashi left without looking back, he was determined to get the inheritance of that bastard in Yamanouchi no matter what.

10:30 is on time for dinner, and they are all starving.

Jian Chi was gorging himself, when suddenly a drop of water fell on his dinner plate, and water was leaking from the ceiling.

"Hmm... um... your name is Miss Xiangzi, right? There's rain dripping down here."

Orochimaru wiped his mouth and said, "Impossible, the above is the first floor, and there will be no raindrops."

"No... look..." Jian Chi pointed to the water stains on the dining table.

The butler looked at the ceiling and said uncertainly, "It seems to be the room of Mr. Shenmei..."

"Hmph...the water may come from the bathroom in the room instead of rainwater, Mr. Shenmei may have had an accident." Orochimaru said lightly.

Everyone came to his room because they were worried about something wrong with Mr. Shenming.

Jianchi walked in the front and knocked lightly on the door: "Mr. Shenming...Mr. Shenming..."

"There is the sound of water in the room." The door was unlocked, and Orochimaru pushed the door straight in.

Turning on the lights in the room, they didn't see Mr. Kami.

The sound of water came from the bathroom. Jian Chi opened the bathroom door and found that the bathtub was full, and the reddish water flowed to the ground.

The horror is that the god is lying in the bathtub, no, it should be said to be his corpse.His head was severed and placed on the bathroom floor.

In addition to the headless body of Mr. Shenming in the bathtub filled with blood, there is also a floating Lucia doll and Ivan the double bass.

When they got to the second floor, all five dolls were gone.The doll in Mr. Shenmei's bathtub should be one of them.

"It's almost the same as the murder of Lucia doll in the novel by the teacher." Butler Tashiro couldn't help saying.

Jianchi asked: "What about the murder of Lucia doll?"

"Well, roughly speaking, the five people gathered together were treated like Lucia dolls, and killed one by one. In the end, everyone will disappear, and only the real murderer remains—the conductor."
