The thief girl wants to buy a home in Rice Flower

"I have already said that I will help you keep it secret, and I will not break my promise."

While chatting, we started exploring the castle.

Not to mention the dust situation, I originally wanted to put on a mask to block the dust, but then I thought that wearing a mask now would be exactly the same as when Phantom Thief M appeared on the stage-in order to avoid being arrested on the spot, I chose to make do with a scarf .

"However, the Zhufu police department is really powerful. When we saw Meili-chan's car in the back before we arrived, the Zhufu police department said that the people in the car must have seen someone they didn't want to see in front, and they were in a dilemma. He also said that if you might ask us for help." Hagiwara said, "Sure enough, when we got out of the car, Mei Li-chan rushed over."

Matsuda nodded: "Yes, just like Hiro, he is very observant and considerate. It's a pity that we didn't see Hiro this time, and Zero didn't tell us what happened. Anyway, it's good to know that he still has spirit."

It's Hiro and Zero again, I shouldn't have heard anything I shouldn't have heard, have I?

I'm not curious, I don't want to know if they didn't see Hiro because he's faking his death, and I don't want to know Zero's full name and face... Really!Not at all curious!

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'll borrow the bathroom, Meili-chan and Xiaozhenping go to the next room first."

"Okay... Jun Ping?"

I looked confusedly at the curly-haired young man who suddenly grabbed my wrist. While waving at Hagiwara, he dragged me to the next room, as if he was going to whisper to me while his friend was away for a while.

"Prince Zhenping——"

"I said, are you really Mei Li?"

"Eh?" I've been disguising my voice, although it's a bit of a stretch, but it shouldn't be heard differently——

"Although the face is hers no matter what you look at, and the voice is also very similar, but the feeling is different." He looked me up and down, finally resting his eyes on my face, frowning slightly, "There is a kind, you are her, It's not how she feels."

Hey, hey—is Matsuda the kind of natural character with a strong sense of intuition?

But he made a special trip to avoid Hagihara to ask me this question, because "Myoga Mikan" once asked him not to let the name of "Matsuda Meili" be related to him... If he is treated so carefully, then I don't want to lie ah.

"I'm Meili, Matsuda Meili." I looked at him without guilt, "Or, I'm Matsuda Meili."

"You are... that mandarin—"

Understand quickly!

"I am the past and the future of Mikan." I said, "Let's think about it...you can treat us as two personalities in one body."

"Actually, it's a fake identity for disguise, right?" Matsuda interrupted, although it was a question, his tone was very firm.

"The people you mentioned earlier, who have a bad meeting, are the people who know Satsuma.Satsuma is just an ordinary migrant worker, but you have the money to buy such a mansion. You created Satsuma to hide Meili's identity.Am i right? "

Half right.

"Most of them are right, as expected of Mr. Zhenping." I sighed in my heart, and suddenly felt that I might have to create a new identity to use again, "——So, will you report me?"

"How do you report this kind of thing...and what will happen to you after this matter is exposed?"

"Should die." I said, and now I suddenly feel as if I don't need to pinch a new identity, I'm such a quick-witted little ghost, "Mikan is now an informant for a public security police, and this is the only way I can What I told you. But I have no evidence to prove it to you. I can only expect you to believe me and continue to keep it a secret."

"Then why did you tell me? As long as you insist that Meili is the former name and Mikan is the current real name, isn't there no way for me to prove it—"

"Some lies will make you feel guilty!" I took a deep breath, "And I believe that Jun Ping would not threaten me with such a thing, or let me die on purpose, because Jun Ping is willing to do it for a little The hope of saving people is to sacrifice your own super good man!"

"Aren't you the same! You are both rich and beautiful, and you have so many things that everyone envies, but you make the same choice as me. I have no reason not to believe you!"

Eh... is he praising me?

It's a boast... isn't it?But why is his tone so fierce?

If Hagiwara heard it, it would be regarded as a quarrel——

"You... quarreled?"

Hagiwara's voice suddenly came from behind.

"How can you be so fierce to girls, Xiaozhenping, are you okay?"

I hurriedly turned around and waved my hands in denial: "It's not a quarrel—"

"What are you talking about, aren't you crying?"

Hagiwara's handkerchief lightly wiped the corners of my eyes, and I blinked before I noticed that my eye sockets were wet for some reason.

The black-haired young man who was a head taller than me bent slightly and looked at me tenderly, with a flattering tone, full of comfort: "Don't be angry, Xiao Zhenping is like this, but he is not bad. Heart-to-heart, Mei Li-chan will forgive him, right?"

This person's rank is really high!Not only do I want to say "yes" now, but I also really want to throw myself into his arms. Since then, Matsuda Meili has changed her name to Hagiwara Meili——

But I still have a sliver of sanity.

This reason is mainly because I noticed a piece of paper on the piano in the room from the corner of the eye, and then I suddenly recalled the purpose of my coming here.

"Hey, Hagi...we're really not arguing."

Matsuda sighed, strode towards me, and put his hand on my head very rudely, as if it was his exclusive position.

"I have already said that I will help you keep it secret, and I will not break my promise."

"...um." I replied in a low voice.

In my heart, what is this complicated feeling at this moment?

·

The paper sandwiched on the piano looks quite old, and the set of codes I got is recorded on it.

According to Matsuda's inference, it was printed in large quantities before copiers, and it may have been distributed to many people for the purpose of deciphering the code.

"But until now the code has not been unlocked, and there are traces of suspected blood in each room..." Hagiwara frowned, "What happened here before?"

"The detective or scholar who didn't unlock the code was killed by the castle owner who was eager to get the treasure. This is probably the story." I said, "Although my first reaction to the code was playing cards, the previous room I took the playing cards apart and looked at them, and found nothing except two cards glued together with blood."

"There is no such thing as a secret passage. I have paid attention to the thickness of the walls and the size of the room. There should be no hidden space." Matsuda said.

Hagiwara said: "And don't you think it's weird? Whether it's a reception room, a bedroom or a game room, almost all the rooms don't have one thing—"

"Clock, right?" Matsuda continued, "Of course it might be sold off, but this piano, which doesn't look cheap, is still here. Why don't we just take all the clocks away?"

These two are amazing... I didn't notice this at all.

"Although I haven't been to the room in the tower, the key to solving the puzzle may be the clock, and the only room with a wall clock before is the dining room." Hagiwara said and looked at me, "What does Mei Li-chan think? Now Want to see it?"

I pondered for a moment, then went to the window and looked out.

Almost all the cars guarding the gate had already left, and neither Gin nor Ley was seen. Seeing that it was getting late, they probably had already left, or were hiding somewhere waiting for us in the house to leave.

"I think it's better to go to the tower first." I put away the code paper that was originally placed on the piano, with a slightly serious expression, "Now is not the time."

"When?" Matsuda asked.

"When you can remove the treasure quietly and without being noticed by anyone." I made a gesture of spreading my hands, "Now even if you unlock the code, don't move anything, I want to wait a few days ...Three days, on Christmas Eve, I will bathe and burn incense and come to move the treasure."

"Bath and incense..."

"Well, although you probably don't want anything in return, I've decided to treat you to dinner tonight, how about it?"

"There seems to be no reason to refuse." Hagiwara smiled, "But I have a question, of course it doesn't matter if I don't answer it. What is the treasure here?"

"Well, it's gold worth more than 1000 billion yen——do you believe that?"

Hagiwara immediately rubbed his chin with one hand, and reasoned with my thoughts: "This castle has no basement. If so, so much gold can only be built in the wall, right?"

Eh?Why didn't I think of it?

"Hagiwara-kun, are you a genius!"

·

About half an hour later, with the joint efforts of Hagiwara and Matsuda, we successfully peeled off a piece of thick wall covering on the outer wall of the open-air central courtyard by relying on kitchen tableware.And then, just as Hagiwara casually mentioned, the inside of the wall skin is impressively covered with golden bricks.

The Gold Pavilion, the other pavilion with gold bricks stuffed in the walls, lives up to its name.

During the moment when I was speechless, the voice of the system suddenly jumped out of my mind.

[Task prerequisites have been completed. 】

... So it doesn't matter if you don't need to unlock the password?

It seems that as long as I can find out what I am about to steal and why it has such a high value, it is really rare that the system is a little more considerate.

"It looks like the treasure hunt is over. Are you interested in this? I don't mind digging up a few bricks and taking them away."

Matsuda quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I'm more interested in the cases that happened here than that."

"You can continue to investigate tomorrow, I am also very interested." I made an ok gesture, then put the piece of wall back on the wall, and stuck the edge in as much as possible, "For today, I think about it tonight." What to eat? Top-quality sushi or kaiseki, I will treat you!"

·

How should I put it, it may be because my first love once owed a huge debt of [-] trillion yen, and I tried my best to help him repay it, so I have always been very sensitive to windfall.

Therefore, when I realized that Matsuda and Hagiwara really had no interest in the gold bricks covering the wall, I felt nothing but respect.

If the roles were reversed, and the owner of the castle said that he could dig a few bricks to take away, then I would definitely dig, and I would dig as much as the upper limit he could accept-this may be the difference between ordinary people and good people.

Fortunately, they didn't refuse my treat. We went to the most expensive restaurant in Hot Spring Township and ordered the most expensive set meal.

Officer Zhu Fu was contacted by Matsuda, to the effect that the password has been unlocked, and they want to investigate the old case next. Officer Zhu Fu said that he is also very interested, but unfortunately he has a new case at hand and cannot participate.

When I got back to the hotel, I found that those two people happened to be staying in the same hotel as me, and the room was next to mine.It was a coincidence that Hagiwara teased a few words, which made Matsuda blush a little.

I watched the backs of the two talking and laughing as they entered the room, and my thoughts wandered for a while, and I couldn't help but think about the accommodation of Ley and Gin.For the two of them, they should be in their own room... But what about vodka?

Then, after I finished soaking in the hot spring happily, went back to the room, lay on the bed and started playing with my phone, I suddenly noticed that Ley had sent an email to Phantom Thief M not long ago.

The content is only a short sentence.

"What secrets does that castle hide?"

After a brief hesitation, I decided to play dumb.

"Accommodation prices are more expensive for regular customers, do you want to ask this?"
