Seeing that the two of them seemed to understand what was going on, Junko couldn't help but ask, "Enomoto-san, Mr. Sawano, can you please stop being tricky? What do you mean?"

Enomoto slowed down and said, "There is an ancient legend in China. It is said that an emperor of the Xia Dynasty found a tortoise by the Yellow River. The tortoise's shell was divided into nine pieces..."

"Huh? It's the same as this stone turtle." Fujimura couldn't help whispering.

"... There are a number of dots arranged on each square. After observing the dots, the emperor found that no matter what way you choose on the turtle shell, horizontal, vertical, or oblique, the sum obtained when adding these directions is the same. This is the Jiugongge. This is the most perfect arrangement, in a three-by-three grid, no matter what direction the three numbers are added, the sum is always fifteen."

"So, the shell of this stone tortoise is a nine-square grid?" Junko thought for a while and understood.

Enomoto nodded: "In the Jiugong grid, there are eight situations where '9' is around, and now it is known that '9' is in the middle of the third row, so there are only two situations for permutations and combinations."

Beicun couldn't help becoming excited when he heard it: "Then what are you waiting for, isn't there only two situations? Try it now!"

Enomoto shook his head and said, "I don't know which of these two situations is correct. Now I don't know what the consequences will be if I insert the wrong answer, so I can't act rashly."

"So, the last thing we need is a little luck." Sawano said with a slight smile.

Enomoto meditated on the spot for a while, walked behind Serizawa who was gouging out stone sticks by the wall, picked up a few stone sticks on the ground, and said, "Lawyer Serizawa, 36 stone sticks are needed to unlock the magic circle. It's a lot worse." Enomoto's tone was light, but there was an obvious sense of urging in the words.

"Eh? 36?!" Serizawa was taken aback, looking at his few achievements, Serizawa couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.How could he take on such a drudgery!

Enomoto walked to the stone gate and began to complete the most amazing magic circle.

Although the two may not know which one, but there are two grids that can be determined, that is, the grid in the center of the magic square must be '5', and the top middle grid must be '1'.

After inserting the stone rod into the two grids, Enomoto stopped.Then it's time to make a choice. On the left and right sides of '9', one side is '2' and the other side is '4', but which side is '2' and which side is '4'?

Junko knew that Enomoto needed a lot of stone sticks to unlock the magic circle, so she acted as a porter, picking up the stone sticks that Serizawa newly dug out and sent them to Enomoto, and then handed them one by one to Enomoto.

While Enomoto was hesitating, he saw Junko standing on his left, and suddenly asked, "Lawyer Aoto, February or April, which one do you prefer?"

Junko was taken aback, wondering why Enomoto suddenly asked this, but after thinking about it, she replied, "February."

Hearing this, Enomoto inserted two stone sticks on the left side of '9' without the slightest hesitation.

Junko saw that Enomoto was still hesitating at first, but now she suddenly inserted the stone stick in one go. The smooth movement made Junko stunned for a moment, and then realized that Enomoto used her casual sentence as the answer to the magic circle. Yes, although I feel a little happy in my heart, but is it really okay to be so hasty?

Junko watched Enomoto slowly withdraw her hand, and then stopped at the spot to observe if there was anything unusual, Junko's heart was so nervous that it was about to pop out.After waiting for about 1 minute, nothing seemed to change, Junko let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Enomoto.However, Junko didn't notice, and Enomoto also secretly glanced at her, with a nice curve on the corner of her mouth.

These four grids are fixed, and the remaining five grids are also fixed.When the last stone rod was inserted into the turtle's shell, everyone looked at Shimen with bated breath.

Faintly heard a rumbling sound, the sound was very dull, it seemed very far away, as if it came from the horizon.But gradually, the sound became louder and louder, as if it was the sound of a mechanism turning.Then there was a "click", and the stone door began to move to one side, like a door that was slowly opened, and slowly all of it was hidden in the stone wall, leaving only a wide open doorway.The doorway was very dark, but within a few seconds, it suddenly lit up. It seemed to be the torches lit in the stone hall. Because of some mechanism, all the torches in the secret room were also lit.

Everyone stood silently in place, as if they were worried that there was still some mechanism, and they didn't dare to take a hasty step, but Juchuancheng rushed in first regardless.When Beicun saw this, although he was still a little terrified, he still had the courage to drag Fujimura into it.Enomoto and Junko looked at each other and took a step forward.

Because it is a treasure handed down from generation to generation, Junko thought that there would be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but when she entered the secret room, Junko had an illusion for a moment, as if she had entered a gallery, surrounded by many oil paintings on the stone walls, and the whole The secret room is decorated into a palace full of artistic atmosphere.There are many oil painting materials, such as landscapes, animals, figures, etc., among which oil paintings of figures are the most.In most of the figure oil paintings, although the ages, clothing, and postures are different, but after careful debate, it can still be seen that the paintings in the paintings are all the same woman, that is, the one in the oil paintings in the living room of the ghost house. that woman.

"Damn!! Where's the treasure?"

In addition to the oil paintings, there were many wooden boxes in the secret room. Kikukawa searched through the many wooden boxes angrily, but found a lot of wooden boxes, only books, clothes, combs, mirrors, cups, and some were not. Valuable jewelry, no matter how you look at them, these are just ordinary daily necessities, and have nothing to do with treasures.

Junko found a diary in a wooden box she had rummaged through in Juchuan City, and after flipping through it, she realized that ordinary things such as clothes and books were the daily necessities of the woman in the oil painting. And the man who made the painting actually kept all these things as treasures.Perhaps, for the couple who love each other but can't stay together, the other party is their elusive treasure!

Junko couldn't help turning her eyes from the diary full of thoughts between the lines to the surrounding oil paintings.If it weren't for the deep love for the woman in the painting, it would be impossible for every sketch to be so full of affection. Compared with the lingering love words and thoughts in the diary, these words can express the painter's emotions better.

Junko was really attracted by this painting!She couldn't help thinking that if she was a man, she would definitely fall in love with the woman in this painting.In other words, if there is a man who can paint her so beautifully, she will definitely fall in love with the painter!

For some reason, Junko couldn't help but look at Enomoto who was looking around, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing Junko's uncontrollable smile, Enomoto couldn't help wondering: "What are you laughing at?" There doesn't seem to be anything funny here, right?

"It's nothing!" Junko quickly shook her head, covered her mouth and smiled secretly again.Her brain is really broken for actually imagining a burglar-proof otaku's artistic painting!

Juchuancheng searched almost all the wooden boxes, and finally found a pile of gold bars in a wooden box.As soon as the wooden box was opened, the golden light emitted shone into the greedy eyes of Ju Chuan Cheng.Finally, the long-cherished wish of the past ten years has finally been fulfilled!
