Tokyo: There's something wrong with this narration!

Chapter 166 165·The Secret of the Forbidden House

In the dark basement, the incandescent lamps flickered on and off, apparently because the voltage was unstable.

The people gathered together, in small groups, were all talking about the clues to the treasure in John's mouth.

The young man with a melancholic temperament and the beautiful girl belatedly came into everyone's sight.

The blond man tied up with ropes in the corner showed a ferocious and twisted smile.

"I heard that you have clues to the treasure, but you must wait until I come to tell you."

Bai Chuan looked at John calmly. In just one night, this handsome painter with blond hair and blue eyes, the executioner who deliberately treated others as a pawn, had become an unkempt prisoner.

Bai Chuan had no sympathy for him, nor for the dead Sally.

Through the identification technique, Baichuan learned that Sally not only killed Nishi Shunji with her brother, but the brother and sister had also killed four innocent people in a row abroad.

John nodded, "Yes, come here, and I will tell you when you come here. I will only tell you."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Chuan, as if Bai Chuan was about to have [-] million written on his face.

"Let's put it this way, I'm not someone who wants to keep the clues to myself, and I can't give up calling the police just because you told me the clues. Since you killed someone, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility."

The meaning of Bai Chuan's words is to remind everyone here that this is a cold-blooded murderer. How could he kindly tell him the clues to the treasure hunt? If there were clues, he would not have been fooled by Bai Chuan in the first place.

Anyone present could understand what Bai Chuan meant as long as they were not fools.

"Yeah, how could John have any clues to the treasure? Even if he did, he wouldn't be willing to share it with us."

Said the modern poet Keiji Yajima.

"Yes, what is your purpose for doing this? Do you still want to provoke us?"

reporter Keisuke Koyama asked.

"Well, since you don't want clues, then I will tell others the same thing. As long as whoever reveals the murderer of my sister, I will tell him all the clues I know about the treasure."

The smile on John's face was gradually replaced by gloom. He was knocked unconscious last night and didn't know anything.

When I opened my eyes this morning, I saw Sally's body.

"The murderer? There is no murderer. Your sister obviously committed suicide."

Lawyer Hiromi Ichimura wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said with twinkling eyes.

"Lie, there is absolutely no way Sally will commit suicide!"

John shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Then let's see what happened to her. The situation last night would be hard for a woman to think about."

Tomorrow Kuramoto took out an exquisite cigarette case from her cosmetic bag and took out a women's cigarette.

Dr. Seo thoughtfully took out a lighter and lit it for her.

"That's right, in this case, it's probably hard to think about it."

said the doctor in agreement.

The three middle-aged men looked at each other uneasily.

The old gentleman Oba Shuichi stamped his cane, "Don't be fooled, everyone, if he really has clues, he won't be willing to give them to us."

"I think Mr. Da Ting is only half right. Maybe he refuses to say it in a gentle way, but with some extreme measures, he may confess honestly."

Reporter Keisuke Koyama's proposal was supported by lawyers and engineers. What the three experienced last night was obviously tied to a warship.

"Mr. Tanita, weren't you a mercenary before? You must know a lot of torture methods, right?"

Lawyer Ichimura Hiromi looked at the taciturn Tanita Fu.

Gu Tian nodded, picked up the shotgun, and aimed directly at John's head.

But John seemed unfazed.

"You can shoot me, but I won't say a word, or you can torture me, but I will only tell you fake treasure clues. I will tell you only if you do what I say. Really helpful clues.”

John became very calm now.

"As long as you tell me who killed Sally, will you really tell me the clue to the treasure?"

the doctor asked.

John nodded, "Yes, doctor, what do you know?"

"Those three were the ones who killed Sally."

Dr. Seo pointed at Tokuji Furuta, Keisuke Koyama and Hiromi Ichimura.

At the same time, Baichuan also conducted appraisals on the three farmers.

[Character: Keisuke Koyama]

【Intelligence: 7】

【Charm: 5】

【Physical Strength: 6】

【details:
40 years old, native of Osaka, single, newspaper reporter, born into poverty. Because he has no background, he has been ostracized by the newspaper. The news topics he wants to cover are always preempted by others. He has no successful masterpieces. So far, he is still an ordinary reporter. .

He dreamed of becoming a great reporter who could meet the whole country and report headline news. He once wanted to report the news and was an undercover Yakuza. However, his identity was discovered and he was almost beaten to death. He was rescued by Shuichi Oba. Since then, he has always regarded Shuichi Oba as his savior.

People who have been in contact with the lower class in Osaka for a long time know that they live in dire straits, but they are powerless. They hate the wealthy class, but they are extremely eager to be like them.

Recently, I have been very jealous of the new generation reporter Shuang Yuezhen because she reported the plastic surgery hospital case that caused a sensation in the country and affected the entire Yamagata Group.

I have participated in treasure hunts many times, but although there are no results, I have always dreamed of getting rich overnight. 】

[Evaluation: A man with dreams but a twisted mentality] Still single at the age of 40, it’s time to reflect on it.

Shirakawa looked at the three farmers and discovered that the lawyer and the engineer were actually relatives, while Reporter Koyama and Professor Oba were old acquaintances.

"Dr. Seo, please don't slander anyone. We didn't kill anyone at all. We even untied Sally at that time."

The excited Tokuji Furuta spilled the beans in his eagerness to clear up the relationship.

"Oh, you untied Sally, why?"

Kodao Zizi looked at him suspiciously, he lowered his head and said nothing.

"It was Sally who asked us for help and said that she would change her ways and never do it again. We helped her out of kindness, so John, you should tell us the clues."

Koyama Keisuke said.

John stared at him, "No way, how could you be so kind."

"It's a deal. You three must have made a deal with Sally."

Said Yoriko Tashiro, who was in low spirits.

John instantly understood what had happened to Sally before she died. Like a rebellious beast, he rushed towards the nearest Koyama Keisuke.

boom--

Gu Tian helped and fired a shot, hitting John's calf, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground again.

Koyama Keisuke was so frightened that his legs became weak and he almost peed. He quickly backed away and distanced himself from John.

"I revealed the murderer, should you fulfill your promise?"

The doctor looked at John and said.

Keisuke Koyama, Hiromi Ichimura, and Tokuji Furuta denied that they had killed anyone, and blamed themselves for the doctor's moral corruption and having an affair with Kuramoto Asuka in the garden.

The doctor's wife, Shizuru Hanada, heard what the three said and unexpectedly plucked up the courage to refute them,

"My husband is not having an affair with Miss Kuramoto."

"Ma'am, please keep your eyes open."

Seeing an interrogation turn into a farce, the old gentleman Oba Shuichi shook his head and waved his cane again.

tuk tuk-

Three sounds of crutches hitting the floor brought everyone's attention back to Shuichi Oba.

"Kuragi-kun, you are a detective. Is there any way to make him tell the truth? If his wish is to catch the murderer of Sally, isn't that what you are good at?"

"Yes, Mr. Otani, but I don't have to serve a murderer."

Bai Chuan refused the request to find out the truth for John.

"Sure enough, you have a real clue to the treasure, that's why you are dismissive of my clues."

John laughed.

Bai Chuan glanced at him, "Yes, I do have the real clue to the treasure."

When everyone heard what Bai Chuan said, they turned their attention to him again.

Bai Chuan said slowly,

"As John said, the clues are in the three forbidden rooms and the attic, so I invite everyone to explore with me. I wonder if you are free?"

"Absolutely not!"

Mr. Hideyuki Tanimoto, a butler with polished leather shoes, a stroke of silver hair, and gold-rimmed glasses, was the first to stand up and object.

But others eager to hunt for the treasure ignored his protests.

In their opinion, the rules curse is just a cover to prevent them from getting in touch with the real clues to the treasure.

"Kuragi-kun, do you want to open Pandora's box?"

Mr. Butler looked at Bai Chuan seriously.

"Mr. Tanimoto, please stop stopping us. There has been no signal on the intercom. Everyone is very nervous. If we don't find clues to the treasure as soon as possible, we don't know what accidents will happen."

Kojima Seiko friendly persuaded the housekeeper Hideyuki Tanimoto, but the housekeeper still had a straight face and was unwilling to hand over the key.

Gu Tian moved the shotgun and aimed it at the housekeeper. Then he frowned and handed over all the keys.

"Everyone who enters the Forbidden House will be cursed!"

The butler said the last thing, turned and left angrily.

Bai Chuan took the key and looked at Qian Xueye beside him, "Actually, you don't need to go together."

"Why not? I'm short of money too."

Qian Xueye said calmly.

Baichuan nodded and walked to the front of the team, ignoring John's unwilling roar behind him.

His plan was exposed and cracked, and the third room he wanted to explore most was about to be set foot by this group of people.

John's eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, and his whole body was like a restrained beast, roaring wildly.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.

Bai Chuan led everyone to the third room at the end of the second floor.

Bai Chuan took out the key and opened the door.

With a creak, the wooden door opened.

A burst of dust hit our faces, and those who inhaled the dust couldn't help but cough.

Bai Chuan and Qian Xueye immediately covered their mouths and noses.

This room had not been taken care of for a long time, and the ground was covered with dust. A black spider hanging on the door quickly climbed up and returned to its own spider web.

There are damaged oil paintings hanging on the gray walls.

There are many yellowed books on the bookcase, and there are quills and long-dried ink on the desk.

It looked like an ordinary study that had been abandoned for more than ten years.

Everyone walked into the study and began to explore. The study was divided into an outer room and an inner room.

There is a bed, a standing cabinet, and a wall covered with newspapers in the inner room.

These news items have all been edited down.

The news was full of horrific murders.

There is a glass cabinet next to the small bed. Various female items are displayed in the cabinet, including red hairbands, pearl earrings, black hairpins, scarves, headbands, bracelets, bracelets, and necklaces.

There is a diary on the bed.

Baichuan did not touch the diary, but used an appraisal technique on the diary.

[Item: Takahashi Nagakage’s Diary]

[Identification result: A diary filled with criminal evidence. Takahashi Nagakage calls himself an "artist" and likes to keep detailed records of every person he kills. 】

[Evaluation: This is a diary that cannot be made public. 】

Shirakawa frowned slightly. The murderer Mr. Artist who shocked the island country 50 years ago turned out to be a member of the Takahashi family.

What Taboo No. 3 really wants to seal is Takahashi Kamikage’s criminal evidence.

According to the housekeeper, this manor was inherited from Takahashi Yuran’s grandfather.

Mr. Takahashi named this manor 'Rule' Manor. The real purpose was to restrain the rebellious lunatic Takahashi family. Perhaps this island was originally bought to trap Takahashi Nagakei.

Takahashi Nagakage's age is probably Mr. Takahashi's son, Mr. Takahashi's father, and Takahashi Yuran's uncle.

But why keep these things?Still exist here?Instead of directly destroying it?
Once this diary is exposed, it will affect the reputation of the entire family.

Just when Qian Xueye was about to pick up the diary, Bai Chuan stopped her.
"Don't touch."

Qian Xueye was stunned and retracted her hand.

Shuichi Oba picked up the diary on the bed in confusion.

Bai Chuan turned around and saw the butler Hideyuki Tanimoto watching all this coldly.
