Chapter 548

An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu once arranged a temporary copy of the hall of deep mountains together. I feel that this copy is a little similar to last time

I just hope you don't come back.

"Are you looking for clues?"

"Of course"

Ann pointed and began to hang the three cars from the outside.

The models and colors of these cars are different. With his poor car knowledge, he can't tell what cars they are, but it doesn't mean he hasn't gained anything at all.

A car can reflect a person's character and behavior pattern, even his career.

First, the car closest to them. An Yizhi saw that it was wiped clean through the window, and even the lower part of the handrail where dust is most likely to accumulate is spotless, indicating that the owner of the car has some cleanliness habits or is a clean person. At the same time, he also saw a man's Cologne Bottle in the car. Later, he observed the seat angle and head restraint position.

Combined with these, he concluded that the owner of the car was a middle-class man with petty bourgeoisie, male, aged about 30 ~ 40.

If you don't explain, just say the result, it's like magic.

But this car is different from other cars. It stopped here earlier and can see some dry ground under the car.

At present, there are only these clues found by an Yizhi. There are no obvious features in the other three cars.

"All right? I always think it's raining hard."

Tu Hongyu tightened his coat and asked.

"Almost."

"So, what do you know?"

An Yi pointed to the rain curtain that was getting bigger and bigger, so he said deeply:

"Someone will die tonight."

"... nonsense!"

The setting of this scene is the rhythm of something!

"If you want more clues, you can only open the door and look carefully..."

"Don't even think about it. I've looked for it. We don't have tools in our car."

An Yi pointed and shrugged:

"There's no way. Let's go step by step."

Without more tips, they had to walk towards the mansion

They stopped in front of a solid wood gate and were about to knock. Suddenly, there was a sound of twisting the lock behind the door.

This shows the difference between veteran and novice Xiaobai. They step back and reach out to hold the gun hidden in their coat.

After the door opened, a young man of about 30 appeared. He didn't look dangerous. He said:

"Allow me to have a look at your invitation."

He seemed to be the servant of the mansion. After they showed the invitation, he stroked his chest and said:

"I've been waiting for a long time. Please come in."

The decoration behind the door is extremely luxurious. The white marble and expensive wood, as well as the paintings decorated in the gold paint frame, are full of pride.

The waiter led them through the corridor of the hall, into a road on the side, and finally stopped in front of a door.

"This is your room. If you are not satisfied, you can change it at any time."

"Can I change it?"

There is a saying that guests are welcome. Usually when invited to be guests, the host arranges the room.

"The master told me that everything in this house can be used at will."

What a strange master.

"Who else was there before we came?"

"There were a few guests before you, but I don't know their names."

"Not sure?"

There is no reason to receive guests without knowing their names.

"The order I received was that everyone holding the invitation was a guest, and the host didn't tell us the guest's name."

"Where is your master?"

Tu Hongyu's question surprised the waiter:

"You don't know?"

This time it's the turn of two players. Should I know?

"The host Edward pickers died two weeks ago. We continued to take care of the house in accordance with his will, including the arrival of several guests, which was ordered by the host."

Combined with what the narrator said at the beginning of the film, it seems that the rich man named Edward is also a strange man. He is even making a decision to give all his wealth to the guests who found his treasure after his death.

"How much do you know about the treasure mentioned in the invitation?"

"I don't know at all. I was hired only recently."

That's right. If he had a clue, he would take the treasure himself.

When the waiter saw that they had nothing to ask, he finally said, "please go to the restaurant before 12 noon, and the details of the treasure hunt will be officially announced at that time." then he pleaded guilty and left.

The two entered the room. There were two single beds, several sofas and a tea table. They also saw a small bar here. It's really a rich man's room.

"What do you think?"

Tu Hongyu always felt that this copy was strange everywhere. I can't say where it was. It was just a feeling.

"I want to look on my stomach."

“……”

With that, Ann really lay on the carpet.

Of course, he's not trying to be funny.

He first smelled the smell of thinner on the carpet. At the same time, he also saw that the newly colored wood board was exposed at the place under the foot of the bed that had not been painted.

This means that all the furniture in the room is new, and it's been a week or two.

He reached for the wallpaper and smelled it again. He could smell the obvious smell of latex.

Then he opened the window and looked at the outer wall of the mansion.

Although the magnificent mansion can be seen from a distance, a closer look will show that the painting on its periphery has been for a long time, and now there are some discoloration.

Furniture and decoration are new, what can it say? Has the owner of the mansion renovated recently? But since it has been renovated, why not repaint the outside?

After telling Tu Hongyu this question, he didn't think of any reliable guess.

"The main task is to find the truth, not the treasure. I always think it's a pit."

Tu Hongyu thought for a moment and said.

What he said is not without reason.

Now, there are an ambiguous number of servants and guests outside an Yizhi and Tu Hongyu. According to the description on the invitation, as long as the treasure is found, Edward can get all his property.

According to CG in the title, the man named Edward is a rich man. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Maybe a murder will happen soon.

In other words, only finding the treasure is not customs clearance. If there is an event, we should untie the event and find out the truth behind the rich man's will.

It sounds very troublesome. Compared with this copy or the multi universe, it is simpler and more rough to meet and save time and effort.

After they searched the whole guest room and couldn't find any more tips, Tu Hongyu proposed:

"Let's act separately according to the old rules. It's hard to explore such a big house."

There is still some danger of separate action, but it is not high. It's still the same sentence. It's ok as long as you don't see any strange hole and go down to die.

It's just a copy of ordinary difficulty. It shouldn't be too much in terms of puzzles and dangers.

An Yizhi opened the system time and looked. It's about 10 a.m. and there's still a little time before noon. It's estimated that the time flowing out of the system is to collect clues for players.

Then the two separated. Tu Hongyu went deep into the house. An Yizhi went in another direction and said to meet in the main corridor before 12 o'clock.

Of course, the room closest to their guest room is also a guest room. An Yizhi tries to turn the door lock, but the system simply prompts [can't open].

As she walked, Ann took out her notepad and drew a rough map.

They are located on the first floor of the whole mansion. First draw a concave outline, and then fill in the position bit by bit. This is a very simple and convenient drawing method.

It is suggested that the room that cannot be opened may only have no egg background, or it may need some specific keys to open, which is uncertain.

An Yizhi found that the locks of all rooms were very complex and solid, which was completely different from the technical level of the 1930s, but he knew it when he thought that Edward had been reminded in the narrator that he was a mechanical master.

Before the advent of the electronic revolution led by computers, it belonged to the era of steam and machinery, and the most praised in this era was the exquisite and complex machinery.

This does not refer to the assembly lines in the factory, but also some miraculous works of art.

The so-called mechanical master is the maker of these things.

With gears, rollers, clockwork and fantastic designs, they have long been a magical creation that was difficult to replicate even during the electronic revolution.

These things are called automatic machines.

Among them, the most famous one is the automatic clock. An Yizhi once saw one in the museum. It looks like a small-scale scene garden made of metal, dotted with many animals.

However, when the hour is reported, the whole garden will "live". All animals have their own actions and make a high fidelity sound under the action of the bellows. I really have to admire the brains of the people of that era.

——How did you come up with this?

More interestingly, the development of automatic machinery has laid the foundation for the future information age. The real automatic computer is the differential machine powered by steam. People then realized that the design principle of the so-called machinery is the same as that of the current circuit. With the progress of technology, automatic machinery has been completely replaced by smaller and cheaper electronic components.

It goes a little further. In the 1930s, it was the peak of automatic machinery. The most famous example is the enigma cipher machine, which is a mechanical encryption and decryption machine.

According to the copy setting, Edward pickers is a master who is very good at making automatic machinery. The locks in his house are quite complex and normal.

All the way down the corridor, he didn't find any door that could be opened, and because the lock was too complex and strong, he couldn't see the situation in the room through the lock hole. Maybe when he met the waiter again, he could ask him for the key to open the door.

Speaking of waiters, there must be many people taking care of such a large mansion, but an Yizhi didn't meet anyone all the way. It's really a little abnormal.

He came to the corridor hall when he entered the door, where there were Y-shaped luxury stairs leading to the second and third floors. But now it was not time to run to a higher floor. His attention was attracted by a huge portrait in the middle of the stairs.

The painting shows a middle-aged man who looks about 40 ~ 50 years old. He sits on the red sofa with his legs crossed. Many exquisite gears and mechanical parts are placed on both sides of him, and there is a very conspicuous big clock dial behind him.

There is nothing suspicious about this painting. The person in the painting is probably Edward pickers, which corresponds to his identity as a mechanical master.

But one thing can't be ignored.

When Ann pointed them in, the picture didn't exist
