Chapter 178 177·Miss Bodyguard (4K please subscribe)
Nine of the eleven people had already introduced themselves, and in the end only Qian Xueye and Bai Chuan were left.

Everyone looked at Qian Xueye, wanting to see the secrets from the girl.

Surrounded by a pack of wolves, the girl knew she couldn't show too much weakness, but she couldn't be too strong either.

Weakness will be the first target to be eradicated, while strength will become a thorn in the eyes of some people and will also be blacklisted.

The key to this negotiation is moderation.

"I'm actually the bodyguard hired by Kuraki-kun."

Qian Xueye cleverly used his identity as a mercenary.
"It's just a mediocre little role. You don't need to pay too much attention to it. My mission is not to treasure, but to protect Cangmu-kun's personal safety."

Bai Chuan did not expect Qian Xueye to say this, which indeed minimized her risk.

If her goal wasn't the treasure, then she wasn't a competitor for the treasure hunters, and there was no need for them to target her.

And her explanation of the identity of the bodyguard proved her strength. Even if she wanted to attack her, she had to consider her own strength.

Pistols were found on both Sally and John. One was taken by Bai Chuan, and the other was in the hands of Qian Xueye.

At this time, in order to show his identity as a bodyguard, Qian Xueye took out the gun, placed it on the table, turned it around, and put it back into his pocket.

Even though she has the same face as Chiyuki Mei, with sweet and delicate facial features, she gives off a heroic appearance.

If Qianxue Mei is a kitten who needs protection, then Qianxue Ye is a comrade who can fight side by side.

Of course, this is not without its drawbacks. For example, those who want to deal with Bai Chuan will also think about how to get rid of the female bodyguard first.

It is impossible to escape unscathed from this negotiation table, unless Qian Xueye reveals her identity as the daughter of a wealthy family, but this will also usher in other dangers.

What if someone takes the risk and wants to kidnap her?
It is essential to be on guard against others, especially when facing a group of problematic people.

In this regard, Qianxueye is even more cautious than the timid Qianxue Meiyi.

"It turns out to be Miss Bodyguard."

Kojima Zizi said in surprise, with some secret joy in her heart.

I must explain it to Cangmu-kun tonight so that he can change his attitude towards me.

Kojima Zizi secretly made up her mind.

"Kuragi-kun, is it your turn? We also want to get to know you."

Professor Da Ting stroked his silver crutch. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his legs and feet, but why did he always carry this crutch? Could it be his weapon.

Baichuan quietly appraised the crutches.

[Item: Cane Assault Rifle]

[Identification result: A special gun customized by black market businessman Irie Kanto. It looks like an ordinary crutch, but it is actually an assault rifle that can fire 500 bullets per minute and has a range of 500 meters. 】

[Evaluation: The werewolf quietly touched its claws, ready to tear the necks of civilians at any time. 】

Sure enough, there was something wrong with this crutch.

No matter what the plan of the werewolf quartet is, it must be related to the treasure. In order to prevent them from continuing to kill people, Bai Chuan decided to tell Takahashi Yulan's true intention.

“Let me tell you a story first.

“In the winter of 15 years ago, the male owner of the manor came here with his lover and two children for vacation. Although the male owner repeatedly warned his lover and children not to go to the attic upstairs,

"But the naughty brother still couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity. He quietly got up in the middle of the night and ran to the attic.

"Later, my brother died at the door of the attic. The cause of death was unknown. Everyone thought that he triggered the curse of the manor."

"What do you mean by that?"

Professor Da Ting frowned slightly.

Bai Chuan said calmly, "This sister is Takahashi Yuran. She has always been worried about her brother's death and wanted to investigate the cause of his death, so she invited me. She hopes that I can find out the truth of this case."

"You mean you're not here to hunt for treasure?"

Lawyer Ichimura looked at Shirakawa suspiciously.

Baichuan nodded slightly, "Yes, there is probably no treasure on this island at all. Miss Takahashi's real purpose of letting everyone come here is to solve the mystery that happened many years ago."

"How could there be no treasure? Do you want to keep the treasure to yourself?"

Lawyer Ichimura looked at Shirakawa with a ferocious expression.

"Yes, there must be a treasure. In addition to Miss Takahashi, Master Takahashi also organized treasure hunts. The reason you mentioned is simply untenable."

Tokuji Furuta retorted.

"Kuragi-kun, if you really came to investigate the case 15 years ago, why did you start working with us to find clues to the treasure?"

asked poet Keiji Yajima.

Bai Chuan sighed. It seemed that no one believed the truth. They were all blinded by the treasure.

"Professor Oba, Ichimura Lawyers, this must be more than the first time for you, right? Haven't you searched the entire island yet? There are no clues in the love letter at all. With your wisdom, it's impossible not to know, right?"

Bai Chuan asked rhetorically.

Professor Oba and Lawyer Ichimura were slightly startled, as if Shirakawa had been right.

But they still don't believe that there is no treasure on the island, and they don't want to believe it.

"It's useless to say anything now. It's better to think about how to open Room 1 and enter the attic. The treasure may be inside."

The city and village lawyer said reluctantly.

This was what they thought at the beginning, the clues to the treasure must be hidden in the Forbidden House.

"Yes, find the treasure as soon as possible, and let's leave this ghost place as soon as possible. I don't want to live in this haunted house for a day anymore."

Kuramoto stood up tomorrow and prepared to go back to his room to rest.

"Miss Kuramoto, don't you want to know who the murderer was who killed Butler Tanimoto?"

Bai Chuan suddenly asked.

Kuramoto Asuka was stunned, then slowly turned around, "Who is it?"

"It's you, Ms. Kuramoto."

Bai Chuan's words shocked everyone.

This night they were continuously frightened to varying degrees, each time as severe as watching a horror movie alone late at night.

"How could it be Ms. Kuramoto? She was clearly with me at night."

After Ichimura's lawyer finished speaking, he seemed to have realized the problem.

Seeing the change of expression on Ichimura's lawyer's face, Shirakawa was 100% sure of his judgment.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I've been with the city and village lawyers all night."

Kuramoto Asuka said.

"Yes, how could Ms. Kuramoto kill Mr. Butler? It would be difficult for her to do it even with her physical strength, right?" Dr. Seo also took the initiative to speak for Kuramoto Tomorrow.

Bai Chuan said calmly,

"What if Ms. Kuramoto has made a lot of preparations for today? She insists on working out every day, not to stay in shape, but to give herself the strength to defeat a man who weighs 20 kilograms more than her in a one-on-one situation.

"What's more, this man is still injured in the dungeon. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Kuramoto Asuka narrowed his eyes and sat down in his own seat, "Kuragi-kun, I don't know what you are talking about. I only work out for beauty."

"Even if Miss Kuramoto can defeat Butler Tanimoto, that doesn't mean she is the murderer. She has neither motive nor time to commit the crime."

Said the poet Keiji Yajima.

Kojima Zizi and others also looked at Shirakawa curiously.

Qian Xueye seems to have figured out the whole story. Maybe Shirakawa began to doubt Kuramoto Asuka from that letter from Takahashi Yumi.

"Mr. Lawyer, please think about it. Between 1 and 2 in the morning, were you really intimate and together all the time? Or did Miss Kuramoto enter the bathroom to take a bath after a moment of pleasure?"

Bai Chuan asked.

Lawyer Ichimura was stunned and said slowly, "Miss Kuramoto did go to the bathroom to take a bath, but I was always outside the door. After Miss Kuramoto came out, she lay down directly on the bed and slept. How could she go out to commit murder?"

"The structure of the bathroom in our room is the same, with a window sill, and the width of the window sill can fully accommodate a person standing. Ms. Kuramoto, who has undergone physical training, took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom to take a bath and climbed up from the second floor along the window sill. On the first floor, he went to the butler’s room and murdered Mr. Butler.”

"As for the motive for the murder, we have to start with a case 10 years ago."

"Mr. Butler once told me that 10 years ago, Miss Youyou took her friends here for vacation. Miss Youyou's friend ignored the persuasion and entered the forbidden three rooms. Then he went crazy. It is said that a month after he returned, he Committed suicide."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Kuramoto Asuka rolled his eyes.

"Is that friend a relative of Miss Kuramoto?"

Professor Da Ting guessed.

Bai Chuan shook his head,

"That adventurous friend has nothing to do with Miss Kuramoto. What is really related is Miss Yumi. In fact, there is another version of this story, the true version."

"Miss Youyou's father is Takahashi Nagakage, the owner of Room 3. Takahashi Nagakage disappeared many years ago, and his daughter, Miss Youyou, has been looking for his whereabouts. However, the head of the Takahashi family and the elders blocked Takahashi Nagakage. Miss Youyou searched for the news about Jing for a long time before she got the news that her father might be on Misty Island.

She called her friends and came to the island to look for clues about her father. In the middle of the night, she and her friends sneaked into the forbidden room No. 3. As a result, they discovered that her father Takahashi Nagakage was the secret of the murderous artist. This is also the secret that the family has been keeping. Guarded secrets.

At her plea, the friend was released from Misty Island, but the Takahashi family still did not let the friend go, letting him die a month later.

Miss Youmei's dream since she was a child is to become the best reporter. She hates evil and hates evil. She wanted to expose all this, but she was opposed by her family. She was also imprisoned in Room 2.

I think everyone should have seen the photo in Room 2. The facial features and eyebrows are somewhat similar to Miss Youlan, but they are not exactly the same.

After Miss Youmei was imprisoned in Room 2, she wanted to seek help from outside, so she lied that she suffered from mental illness and needed to see a doctor.

Her grandfather, the head of the Takahashi family at the time, agreed to her request and hired a psychiatrist.

As a result, she seduced the psychiatrist and made him sympathize with her.

The two become secret lovers, and the psychiatrist wants to help her escape the island.

Unfortunately, they failed in the end, the psychiatrist was killed by Butler Tanimoto, and Miss Yumi was imprisoned again.

The psychiatrist who was killed was none other than Shunsuke Kuramoto, a relative of Ms. Asuka Kuramoto, right? "

A strange emotion appeared in Kuramoto Tomorrow's eyes. She suppressed her emotions and said,

"These are all your imagination, Cangmu-kun. It would be a shame if you don't become a novelist."

Qian Xueye took out a letter and handed it to Bai Chuan.

Shirakawa showed the letter written by Yumi Takahashi to everyone,

"Actually, we didn't find nothing in Room 2. At least we found the letter left by Miss Yumi Takahashi."

Everyone was shocked by the content of the letter.

Unexpectedly, in order to keep the secret, the Takahashi family imprisoned all the family members.

"Actually, this isn't the first time Miss Kuramoto has come to the island to hunt for treasures, right?

You came here once many years ago and found a token belonging to Shunsuke Kuramoto on the island. Then you started to investigate and found that this was the place where Shunsuke Kuramoto last appeared. You concluded that he died here. Finally, through Tanimoto It was only through Mr. Shunsuke’s diary that the true information about Shunsuke Kuramoto’s death was determined. "

"If my guess is correct, Mr. Tanimoto's diary is with you now.

"You also tore out a page from the diary and forged Mr. Tanimoto's suicide note."

After everything was revealed, Kuramoto lowered his head, put his hands on the table, and let out a shrill laugh,

"You are right, I am here to take revenge. Hideyuki Tanimoto killed my brother! But he has been living well. This is unfair, unfair!"

"Miss Kuramoto."

Dr. Seo stretched out his hand and quickly retracted it.

It seems that the woman in front of me is very strange.

"In the beginning, you approached Dr. Seo just to get him to provide you with an alibi, right? But then he and his wife reconciled, so you gave up being a doctor and chose Ichimura Lawyer. Is such a sacrifice worth it for the dead?"

Bai Chuan asked.

"You don't understand the feeling of losing a loved one at all. My brother and I are both orphans. I was raised by my brother. My brother is not only my brother, but also my father and mother. He is my everything. You don't understand anything! !!”

Kuramoto Asuka roared angrily, tears already blurring her vision.

Bai Chuan rubbed his eyebrows.

"I never thought you were just trying to take advantage of me from the beginning."

The city and village lawyer shook his head.

"Aren't you using me?"

Kuramoto raised his head and said, "When I went back, I found that you were not in the room at all. Where have you been? Lawyer Ichimura?"

"You, what did you say? I was just taking some air in the corridor."

Ichimura's lawyer said in a panic.

Bai Chuan frowned, terrible!
He quickly rushed to the second floor, and Qian Xueye slowly followed him.

The two pushed open Tashiro Yiko's room on the second floor, walked to the bed, and found that Tashiro Yiko was no longer breathing.

Kojima Zizi seemed to have thought of something, and quickly followed her. Her high heels made a crisp sound in the corridor, and she broke the heels because she was running too fast.

But she didn't bother to change her shoes and eagerly came to Tashiro Yiko's room.

Bai Chuan turned around and looked at the aggrieved Kojima Zizi with cold eyes.

"Miss Kojima, can you explain?"
