In Hokkaido, hiroji Baotian drives into the mountains with Gao Cheng and Xiao AI. The fog in the mountains makes people uneasy. Fortunately, the road is still clear.
Gao Cheng, holding a note with a poetic code in his hand, looks at Xiao AI, holding his arms and taking a rest.
"It''s just work, isn''t it? I specially asked for leave to come here... "
"Anyway, it''s all simple knowledge of primary school," Xiao AI raised her eyelids. "Even if there''s no class, it''s nothing..."
Is that the reason to skip class for a week?
Gao Cheng has no choice but to continue to study the code.
Xiao AI is really a little more powerful than him in the aspect of code, but he can''t see anything from these sentences alone. He has to come to Hokkaido to have a look in person.
But then again, what was the famous mystery writer thinking? Didn''t he know that it was easy to set up such a challenge?
Or is it intentional
With the deepening of the car, the lake water in the fog gradually appears in front of Gao Cheng. There is a castle like building in the middle of the lake.
"I can see it," he said with a smile. "The building built on the floating island in the lake is Lucia hall, the villa of the teacher in the mountain."
The car passed through the woods and stopped by the lake, and the castle appeared completely, looking like the architectural style of the mosque.
"It''s a Russian architectural style," he explained with a smile, as if knowing Gao Cheng''s idea. "Because it''s an onion roof, it''s easy for people to mistake it for a Christian mosque. It''s said that Russia originally believed in Greek orthodoxy, but through Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, which is now Istanbul, The introduction of Christianity and Communist culture is also reflected in Russian culture.... "
"Cough."
Gao Cheng nodded his head as if he knew nothing. Just at this time, an old man with round eyes came over. He was wearing a proper suit and felt like an intellectual.
"Hard work, Mr. Baotian," the old man said with a smile, "next to a detective... Chenghu Gaocheng, right? I''ve heard a lot about you, detective Chenghu... "
"Who are you?"
"I''m Fujifu Tian, the housekeeper of the teacher in Yamauchi. Come here, please. I need to take a boat next."
The old man said that he would take the people to the dock, but his smile seemed to be a little reluctant. Baotian Guang said to Gao Cheng in a small voice: "he has been the housekeeper of the teacher in shannei for so many years, but he has not inherited the inheritance. He will not be happy. The inheritance is not in his face for the time being..."
"I know."
Gao Cheng can be regarded as a person who has entered the society. Of course, he won''t do much.
The so-called boat is a small boat with an electric motor. It clatters all the way to the island in the middle of the lake. After putting people down, it goes back the same way.
"Is there no boat here?" Gao Cheng looks at the empty dock and asks.
"No, this is the instruction of the dead shannei teacher. Until the teacher''s birthday five days later, everyone can only stay on the island. You are the last group to arrive..."
The housekeeper Tian Dai brings the people to the front of the villa. Nearby, the castle like buildings look more gorgeous. Around the atrium, there are five tall buildings, each of which has an onion shaped roof. The most striking thing is the clock tower behind the atrium, on which there is a big clock. With the arrival of the hour, the bell reverberates in the thick fog of the lake.
Gao Cheng doesn''t have much to appreciate. This kind of place is just like preparing for a crime
Villa atrium, there have been several people present, housekeeper Tian Dai led Gao Cheng several come in, a line of sight suddenly all gathered.
"Baotian, you''re so slow," a middle-aged man with a moustache in a nightgown stood up with a wine glass. "Is this the little brother next to you? How to invite a kid to come here... "
"Mr. God, I think you may have misunderstood that the famous detective of Chenghu is not a kid..."
A high school boy came over and stared at Gao Cheng with interest: "it''s great that Mr. Baotian can invite a famous detective to come here. It''s my honor to compete with detective Chenghu..."
Then the boy came to shake hands with Gao Cheng and said, "I''m Gao Zhi, a detective dog from high school. I''m a neighbor of Yamauchi''s teacher in Kanagawa. Thank you for treating me like a relative, so I''m also selected as the candidate for inheritance this time. Please take more care of me!"
"Please pay more attention to..."
Gao Cheng shakes hands gently. He is surprised that there is such a young boy among the candidates. He doesn''t know the standard of Hengsheng in Baishan. No wonder the Housekeeper will complain.
The bearded man, who was called Mr. deity, didn''t look very good. He hummed to the boy, "what''s the decision? He began to act as a detective again, but he just happened to solve a small homicide case. Other city detective is also a professional detective anyway... "
Ignoring the bearded man, the boy looked around expectantly and said, "the teacher in the mountain probably didn''t expect a famous detective to come, did he? However, it''s really worthy of being the leader in the field of inferential fiction to arrange the inferential competition here... "
"How could it be?"“ Don''t detective Edo know? The scene is as like as two peas in the early days of the mountain, the homicide of Lucia. Exactly, should the city detective come to study the teacher in the mountains before he came? After all, the key to this competition is the signal he prepared... "Looking at Gao Cheng''s embarrassed face, the young man said with a forced smile:" it seems different from what I imagined, but it''s said that famous detectives like to hide themselves. Is detective Chenghu deliberately showing weakness? "“ I really don''t know much about the teacher in shannei... "Gao Cheng chuckled frankly. In a hurry, he didn''t have time to read the works of Hengsheng in shannei. He just collected part of his life information, and most of his energy was on the study of gaoyuanyao. After all, this trip to Hokkaido is mainly for kaoyuan Yaoyi. Even though he has dealt with kaoyuan Yaoyi for several times, he still has some lack of confidence... "Is there" Lucia doll murder "here?" Gao Chengchao''s housekeeper Tian Dai asked“ It should be in the teacher''s room. I''ll get it later. " After arranging the accommodation, Tian Dai, the housekeeper, brings a book. It''s the first edition of Lucia''s puppet murder. Gao Cheng takes advantage of Xiao AI''s packing to have a look. As the teenager said, the background of the story is the villa Lucia Pavilion. Five people gathered in the villa are compared to Lucia dolls and are killed one after another. It seems to be similar to the situation in the last black magic incident, like a curse to kill people. However, the content of the novel does not seem to have anything to do with the secret code. If you guess correctly, there should be some key hints next, so the five-day deadline is arranged“ Detective Chenghu After a short while, Baotian guanger came over and yelled, "everyone go to the reception room."“ Good Gao Cheng takes Xiao AI out and follows him to the reception room on the top floor of the clock tower. In addition to Xiao Huzi''s male deity Zhongzhi and high school student dog feed Gao Zhi, there are also Mei Yuanxun, a sexy reasoning novelist who has met but has not spoken, and you Yuelai, a beautiful female illustrator with long hair who has just met. She is wearing a black suit and her long hair covers half of her face. Gao Cheng looks at the beauty for a while and focuses on a long legged young man wearing a mask behind youyuelaimeng. Although he couldn''t see his face, Gao Cheng''s eyes suddenly shrank when he saw those eyes. It''s Gao Yuanyi. This guy appeared in such a dignified way, and he didn''t mean to hide in other aspects. The mask can hide from ordinary people, but it can''t hide from him... "It seems that all of them are here," the mask man noticed Gao Cheng and said with a smile, "can we start?"“ This is... "Everyone was surprised to see the masked man“ He''s my assistant, Mr. scarlet rosses, the magician, "you Yue said," because he was severely burned when practicing magic, he always wore a mask... "
