"Tell me, is it too late for us to tell him to change places to live?" Ke Wen looked at Song Ci with tears in his eyes.

"If you come, you will be safe." Song Ci's face was not very good-looking, but he patted Ke Wen's shoulder encouragingly.Those two places may not be in better condition than here.

Besides, the death incident mentioned by Marcel, the deceased is a person closely related to the mayor, and it is likely to be the clue of the main plot.

"Crack", the secretary turned on the electric switch, and the whole small building was brightly lit, and the warm yellow light instantly reassured everyone.

To everyone's surprise, the condition of the house is actually not bad.Although the furniture and decoration are obviously the styles and styles popular in the last century, they are clean and tidy, which is very different from the outside yard, and it can be seen that someone is cleaning it regularly.

On the left is the kitchen and dining room, and on the right is the large living room. On the wall facing the sofa, half the wall is hung with daggers of different shapes, inlaid with gold and treasures, and the workmanship is exquisite.There was even a Christmas tree in the corner, and there were piles of large and small gift boxes under the tree, but most of the boxes and wrapping paper had faded and turned yellow.

Looking at the gifts that had obviously been put away for a long time, Song Ci suddenly had a bad association. Could it be that the things here have not been touched since the murder happened?

The secretary clapped his hands, and twelve question mark-faced footmen filed in, standing in two rows at the entrance of the stairs like two catfish whiskers.

"I have arranged dinner for you, and it is expected to be delivered at [-] o'clock. Before that, you can take a rest first, and you can tell them if you have anything to do. The room is on the second floor. The heating is not turned on, but the air conditioner and electric heater can be used. "The secretary retreated after graciously exhorting.

After Marcel left, Fisherman Hat went over to try it out, and he could order the servants to bring tea and water, but when there was no order, they would just stand like statues without any movement.

"This is obviously the time for our search!" Ke Wen eagerly rolled up his sleeves, looking around where to start.

The slender face glanced at him, pulled off the fisherman's hat and whispered a few words to the man with glasses, and then the three turned around and rushed upstairs quickly.

"Hey, the hero sees the same thing. Since we are so destined and chose the same place, should we join hands to share information or something?" Ke Wen shouted enthusiastically as if he couldn't see that they planned to search alone.

Song Ci looked at Ke Wen in surprise. The other party obviously didn't intend to take them to play, so why bother to look at his face.

Sure enough, the slender face on the stairs stopped as if hearing some joke, and put his hands on the stairs, "Joining hands? You want to have no hands, no experience, what can you talk about joining forces with me?"

"As the saying goes, many friends lead many paths." Ke Wen Ke Wen showed his canine teeth and smiled harmlessly.

"Bullshit, we are in a competitive relationship." The thin and long face rolled his eyes, just now you are not allowed to join the team, now you want to take advantage of it?no way.

"The three of us are very powerful. You should think about it carefully. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. It is useless for you to kneel down and beg us." Ke Wen said unwillingly.

"Excellent?" The thin and long face turned back with disdain, glanced at the three of them, and then walked up the stairs without looking back, "Death bronze, amazing P."

Ke Wen helplessly spread his hands towards Song Ci, "Captain, the negotiation has broken down."

Song Ci: ……………

Didn't you ask for this?

On the contrary, Tang Si gave Ke Wen a meaningful look, "You are good at psychological warfare."

Song Ci grew up in a simple environment, and his understanding of interpersonal relationships was extremely limited. After hearing Tang Si's words, he realized that Ke Wen was deliberately showing weakness to Slender Face just now. Being alert can also allow the other party to take the initiative to distance themselves from them and avoid being 'taken advantage' by them.

Ke Wen, who was exposed, smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's what my Ke CP should do."

Ke what?Tang Si looked at Ke Wen suspiciously.

"Let's start quickly." Song Ci couldn't bear to look directly and pressed down the brim of the deer hunting hat, saying next time that he couldn't recruit any more imaginative temporary workers.

Slender Face and the others went upstairs first, while Song Ci and the others simply started from the first floor.Anyway, every floor must be searched again, first to see where the difference is not big.

"Carpet search, it must be searched from the carpet." Ke Wen plausibly squatted down on the spot and reached out to lift the carpet.

Song Ci: ……………

Tang Si looked at Song Ci in the eye without a word, and went straight to the dagger wall closest to him.

Seeing that the living room was basically divided in half by them, Song Ci turned to the restaurant area on the left.

In front of the eyes is a thick oak dining table for eight people, but there is nothing on the table, which is clear at a glance.On the wall is an oil painting of a ceramic pot.He took it off and looked at the back, but didn't find anything stuck.

Further inside is the kitchen, which is well-organized. Song Ci searched the upper and lower cabinets and trash cans. In addition to seeing all kinds of cups and tableware in the cabinets and twenty or thirty pots of different shapes that are completely useless, Nothing suspicious was found.

Song Ci walked back to the living room, and saw that Ke Wen was sitting under the Christmas tree unpacking an extremely immature and rough gift box, with razors, diamond necklaces, Lego toys and other things piled up beside his legs.

"Is there any clue in the gift?" Song Ci asked casually.

"The mayor's name is Mark, does it count if the old mayor's wife is called Mary?" Ke Wen took out a wooden mechanism box, and on the card was written crookedly, [For Dad].

"Whoever sends me such an anti-human gift will drive me to death." Ke Wen held his forehead with one hand, and threw the box on the ground casually.

Song Ci was about to pick it up and have a look, when Ke Wen kicked the other two things beside his feet and said, "Do you like it? There are two more anti-human beings here, please do me a favor and take them away together."

As soon as he kicked, the two things made a tinkling sound.One is a cylindrical brass mechanism box the size of a tea canister. Circles of letters are engraved on the side of the box like a prayer wheel, and the words "To Mark" are written on the card decorated with thin gold threads.

The other is a red acrylic Rubik's Cube puzzle box. Through the transparent box wall, you can clearly see the heart-shaped card inside and a famous brand men's watch. It should be a gift from the hostess to the old mayor.If you just want to take it out, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

"The bottom row is missing a dagger, and only the sheath made of white jade is left." Tang Si walked over and said that he had gained very little here.

The three who couldn't find the clue had to move to the second floor.

Song Ci slowed down when passing by those servants.

Tang Si looked at him clearly, "Do you want to try?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid of being stabbed to death." Song Ci touched the brim of his hat cowardly.In fact, he had vaguely thought of two words, so he wanted to try them out.

Ke Wen had a bad feeling, his eyes widened nervously, and stopped Song Ci, "Wait a minute, what do you want to try?"

"Try the wrong answer that angered them." Song Ci said solemnly.If this problem is solved, it may save a lot of trouble when looking for clues later.

Ke Wen:! ! ! ! !

Fuck you, try this too!

Ke Wen, whose scalp was numb, hurriedly dragged Song Ci's arm up the stairs, "Time is precious, it's important to search for clues first."

Song Ci had to give up temporarily.

There are many photos hanging on the walls of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.

As if deliberately emphasizing, the people in the photos are all normal, and they don't have strange question marks on their faces.

Song Ci stopped and scanned it roughly.

A slightly serious family portrait of three members; father and son happily riding horses; the four or five-year-old town mayor ignores the birthday cake in front of him but concentrates on playing with the astronomical telescope; a family of three has a picnic on the lawn with friends and family; the young old mayor and his wife are in front of the pyramid The photo of the tourists and so on, there is a stamped date in the lower right corner of each photo, the old mayor's family in the photo looks happy and warm.

"There are clues in the photo?" When Song Ci stopped, Ke Wen immediately came over to look at the photo wall.

Song Ci straightened the deer hunting cap on her head, and shook her head regretfully, "I haven't found it yet."

"Do you want to take it apart and have a look?" Ke Wen looked suspiciously at the photo wall in front of him. It is an overused trick to put something behind the photo.

The three of them raced against time to take apart the photo frames on the photo wall and read them all, but they didn't even see a signature.

Song Ci and Ke Wen couldn't help being a little disappointed, and Tang Si went straight to the second floor without hesitation.

Ke Wen reluctantly weighed the last black wooden frame in his hand, "Do you need to break the frame?"

Song Ci: ……………

Good guy, I can't see that you are quite violent.

"Go up and look elsewhere first. Come back if necessary." Song Ci shook her head. They had wasted enough time on the photo wall, and there were still two floors above.

When Song Ci and the others rushed to the second floor, Tang Si had already checked around, and concluded succinctly, "Go to the third floor. There are only five empty guest rooms and a locked storage room on the second floor."

The guest room didn't seem to have much connection with the owner, and the storage room couldn't be opened without a key. Song Ci and Ke Wen had to follow Tang Si to the third floor non-stop.

The doors of the two outermost rooms on the third floor were wide open. It seemed that they were the cloakroom of the mayor's wife and Little Mark's room. Judging from the mess in the room, they had already searched Slender Face.

The doors of the other two rooms were tightly closed. Ke Wen put his ear to the door of the two closed rooms and listened. There seemed to be movement inside.

He folded his arms and stood in the middle of the two rooms, with a look of cheating, "I'll stay here and see what they find, and whichever side finds more I will go in."

Tang Si was noncommittal about Ke Wen's approach, turned around and went to the cloakroom, Song Ci also shook his head, and walked into the room of the last remaining little Mark.

Mark's room was enviably spacious for a children's room.

There is a half-person-high teddy bear on the palace-style bed, and rows and rows of dolls are piled up on the plush carpet.

More conspicuous, however, are the star probe models in the cabinet on the left, which come in all sizes and styles.

There is an astronomical telescope standing near the balcony, and on the wall directly opposite the small desk, there is even an HR diagram describing the relationship between the spectral type and luminosity of a star.

All in all, the mayor when he was a child was undoubtedly a full-fledged astronomy enthusiast.

Song Ci put the Mars probe that had fallen on the carpet back to the display cabinet, then looked through the small desk, and found a diary with a combination lock in the drawer.

He dialed the three-digit combination lock on the side of the diary. What would a child use as the password for the diary?

Birthday?

Song Ci suddenly remembered the photo wall downstairs, walked to the door with a notebook, and saw that Ke Wen was still standing in the corridor as a doorkeeper, and said, "Do me a favor, go downstairs and see what is Mark's birthday?"

Ke Wen moved his stiff neck, "The one printed in the lower right corner of the photo?"

"Correct."

"Oh." Ke Wen replied, but did not move.

Song Ci was wondering, but Ke Wen said, "July 7th."

"You remember?" Song Ci looked at him in surprise.

"Hmm." Ke Wen took it for granted.

Song Ci was stunned, his own memory was already very good, but he still couldn't remember all the details in just a few glances, such as the dates in the lower right corner, "Do you have HSAM?"

"Do you know hypermemory?" Ke Wen smiled, "To be honest, I sometimes think it's quite useful, especially after entering the secret room."

"It's enviable." Song Ci gave a thumbs up. With a camera-like memory ability, in this kind of secret room where the plot is going, it's like a cheating existence.

After successfully opening the diary with 712, Song Ci was a little disappointed, there was not much content in it.

For a five or six-year-old child, each page of the diary has only one or two sentences.He quickly flipped through the small half of the diary, and basically could only extract four points of information.

Little Mark loves his mother very much.

Dad loses his temper when he drinks, and Mark doesn't like his dad after drinking.

Little Mark likes stars.

Little Mark's dream is to find the sleeping treasure with his father, and then go to the universe to find the stars.

After putting down the diary, Song Ci didn't find anything special in Mark's room.

He went out and saw that Ke Wen was still standing there, so he turned to the cloakroom.Tang Si was opening the drawers one by one, meticulously examining the dazzling jewelry of the mayor's wife.

Song Ci blinked, wondering if it was an illusion, why did she feel that the clothes hanging in the cloakroom were more tidy than before Tang Si checked them?

"Do you know this?" Tang Si pulled a silver cross from the bottom of the second-to-last drawer, tore off the black tape that was still stuck on it, looked it over, and handed it to Song Ci.

It was a very ordinary smooth cross, so plain that it didn't even have any decorative patterns.Compared with the full cabinet full of jewelry, it is simply shabby and not worth mentioning.As for why it is hidden in such a place, it is even more intriguing.

"Maybe, we have to find a chance to go to the church." There were no other religious-related arrangements and furnishings in the room.Then, this cross is likely to point to the church.

When Song Ci and Tang Si walked out of the cloakroom, the man with the thin face and glasses had already gone downstairs. One of the two closed rooms was the study room, and the other was the living room of the old mayor and his wife. Seeing Ke Wen writhing in the living room, Song Ci They went into the study.

There is a large desk facing the door, and next to it are two dark green single leather sofas, with a round coffee table and a brass floor lamp.

On the wall above the coffee table is an oil painting depicting a rural scene, and opposite is a bookshelf that occupies almost the entire wall.

It is said to be a study room, but there are not many books on the bookshelves. Instead, it is filled with all kinds of puzzle toys, combination locks, and mechanism boxes.Only then did Song Ci understand why there were so many trick boxes in the gift. It turned out that everyone also catered to the preferences of the old mayor in the gift.

Almost every cipher box has been opened, and the inside is empty. I don't know if there is nothing in it, or it has been taken away by Slender Face and the others.

The master's study room, plus the mechanism and password, no matter how you think about it, it is the best place to hide the clues of the treasure.No wonder they stayed for so long with thin and long faces. This place is indeed worth searching.

"Let it go." Tang Si motioned Song Ci to stand beside him, and stomped on the carpet in different directions with his cowhide boots, especially near the corner between the small sofa and the wall.

"Is there a mechanism underneath?" Song Ci didn't hear any difference in the sound between those feet at all.He had to stand behind the desk to avoid the woolen Arabic-style rug that took up two-thirds of the study.

Tang Si hummed, and lifted the carpet with his hands.

Underneath is the common wooden floor with Tianzi patterns, which is not unusual to Song Ci, but Tang Si still squats down.

Unable to help for the time being, Song Ci began to search the desk in front of him.

There are not many things on the table, a photo of father and son, a small gilt clock with a glass cover, an old-fashioned brass globe, a pen holder polished by rough crystal, an angel-shaped desk lamp, and a laptop that has run out of power .

The most annoying thing is that the computer's power cord is missing, so it can't be charged.I don't know if it was taken away by Slender Face and the others.

On the right hand side were the upper, middle and lower drawers. The top drawer was not closed tightly. Song Ci opened it and looked inside. There were scattered items such as spectacle cases, magnifying glasses, lighters, and cigar cutters.

He was about to close the drawer, when he suddenly remembered the cross that Tang Si touched on the top of the drawer just now, so he also touched up, and there was indeed a hidden groove.

The thing in the dark tank felt cold to the touch, it turned out to be a heavy pistol!

In the second drawer was a stack of blank paper and envelopes, and the third was locked.Before Song Ci was about to stand up, Fuzhi touched the partition above the seat in a casual way, and there was another pistol!

It's okay to hide a few for self-defense, why hide so much?Does the old mayor often encounter dangerous situations?

Song Ci was wondering, when a melodious bell sounded from outside the window, it was eight o'clock.

"Dear guests, please come to the restaurant for dinner." The secretary's voice resounded through the three floors like a broadcast.

Song Ci and Tang Si had to give up temporarily.When I met Ke Wen at the door, I knew from his dejected expression that he hadn't found any clues either.

When they went downstairs, the thin and long-faced people who sat at the dining table one step earlier than them also had dark faces. It seemed that the two groups of them had worked in vain for more than an hour.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and the servants served prosciutto drizzled with cherry pomegranate sauce, roasted turkey with attractive color, plump salmon, snowman-shaped cake and other Christmas special meals, as well as various drinks.

However, because they got nothing, everyone was a little bit depressed, and they didn't know what to eat.

The secretary was like a robot, following the set procedures step by step, completely ignoring the bad faces of the 'guests', and insisting on inviting them back to the living room for tea after dinner.

Everyone vaguely felt that this might be a part that provided clues to the treasure.

The few people who were full were a little sleepy, sitting on the sofa staggering.The most outrageous of them was Song Ci, who hugged the pillow as if she had no bones, and fell directly on the armrest on the right side of the couch, drowsy.

Seeing him slumped into a ball, Tang Si frowned indistinctly.Completely different from Song Ci, even when he was sitting on the sofa, his shoulders were straight, and his manner was as upright and elegant as a textbook.

While pouring tea for everyone, the secretary asked politely with the smell of roast turkey floating in the air, "Dear guests, do you want me to tell you a bedtime story?"

clue!

These two words immediately popped into the minds of everyone present, and both Ke Wen and the man with glasses took back their half-yawned yawns.

Song Ci, who was lying on the armrest of the sofa, barely opened her eyes.It's all the fault of that stinky pigeon, he was so angry that he forgot to catch up on his sleep, and now he is so sleepy.

"25 years ago today, in this living room, a murder case took place." The secretary's tone was still startled, and the temperature of the living room dropped a lot in just one sentence, and everyone instantly became refreshed. up.

Damn, whose bedtime story is a murder?

The author has something to say: Marcel [smiling]: Come and listen to my story~

Remarks: 1. HR diagram: Refers to the relationship between the spectral type and luminosity of a star.Its vertical axis is luminosity and absolute magnitude, while the horizontal axis is the spectral type and surface temperature of the star, decreasing from left to right.It was independently proposed by the Danish astronomer Hertzsprung and the American astronomer Russell in 1911 and 1913 respectively.Later research found that this diagram is an important tool for studying the evolution of stars, so such a diagram was named after the two astronomers at that time, and it was called the HR diagram.
