Chapter 558

Mechanical master Edward's house, coupled with a large number of engineering and construction related books in his study, an Yizhi is almost 100% sure that there is a secret road in this mansion!

The eavesdropper may have overheard the conversation between an Yizhi and Tu Hongyu when walking through the secret Road, so the system began to block. It is also possible that he deliberately eavesdropped from the secret road. Later, he found that the two players seemed to be aware of it, so he ran away.

But in either case, the possibility that there is a secret road in this mansion is very high, high enough to be described with certainty.

But it's useless to draw this conclusion. They don't know where the entrance of the secret road is and where it leads. At present, only one or several people in NPC know where the secret road is and have explored it. Among them, four are the most suspected.

Lawyer Abel, the domestic servants Charlie and Mary who work here, and anasta who must have hidden something.

NPC has already known the secret way. The progress in finding treasure is much faster than that of the two players. Isn't an Yizhi in a hurry?

It's really not in a hurry.

Don't forget what their main task is. The word "unlock the truth" means a lot more. In other words, it doesn't matter if the treasure is taken away by NPC. Their task is only to unlock the truth behind the treasure, that's all.

At the same time, an Yizhi feels that revealing the truth means that there is not only a treasure, but also a murder case, and then let them find the murderer and restore the meaning of the event.

Although this is just a guess, an Yizhi has played many copies, and the general rules can be summarized.

If players solve the mystery of the treasure before all the murders and get the copy of the end of the treasure, will they get additional rewards?

In fact, it is not, or not all.

Finding the treasure before all other events occur will be highly praised by the system, but those "events" are equivalent to branch missions, that is, they do not trigger branch missions at all.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for players. The fast customs clearance copy will indeed get the advantage of improving the settlement reward, but ignoring the branch mission may miss more rewards.

After all, the policy of the system to reward players is' the higher the difficulty. The higher the reward, whether it is artificially made higher or set by the system.

However, it's too early to say this. The clues and evidence in the hands of the two players are pitiful. Even if they want to get through the customs directly before all the events happen, they can't do it. It just allows them to determine the next course of action.

That is, wait, wait for events to happen.

As for whether the dead NPC is innocent or not

Ann pointed out that it's none of my business!

The number of books in the study can not be fully identified by one copy at all. The two people just "turn the book" in it, not read it again. Otherwise, let alone 30 hours, it is impossible for them to finish reading for more than half a year.

So this afternoon was spent in an Yizhi's Secret calculation and the sound of turning books between them.

It was not until dinner time that the guests scattered around the mansion were called to the restaurant by the waiter Charlie to prepare dinner.

Although it is possible to acquire a large amount of property out of thin air, Charlie and Mary still do not intend to give up their responsibilities, which is a good praise for their professionalism.

However, an Yi pointed to the people gathered at the table and found that there were no fewer. He was a little disappointed. He also felt that he would die this afternoon. As a result, nothing happened. It was really boring

——From here we can see how unpopular the chaotic and neutral nature of the goods is.

The dinner was still very rich, but compared with the exquisite dishes, I'm afraid only they knew what was going on in their hearts.

Originally, an Yizhi did not intend to eat it, because it could not be ruled out that someone might poison the food, but it was a little too conspicuous not to eat at all, so they adopted the "Russian turntable" method.

Specifically, when the food comes up, an Yizhi takes a bite first. If there is no problem in a few minutes, Tu Hongyu will eat it again. When the next dish comes up, the roles of the two people change, so that if it is really poisonous, at least one of them can be guaranteed not to be poisoned.

Maybe they really have their own minds. Their little abacus didn't attract anyone's attention. Almost everyone on the table maintained the same eating speed and amount as at noon.

An Yizhi focused on the sister anasta. She still ate very little food and drank a lot of black tea. She didn't know whether the sister had a small appetite or something else.

While Mary, the maid, was pushing dessert, Ann pointed to the sound of the piano.

Obviously, he was not the only one to hear it. Everyone was stunned and then looked at the concert hall next to the restaurant.

"This is the master's mechanism. The piano and those musical instruments will play by themselves every time it comes to breakfast and dessert."

Charlie explained and opened the door between the restaurant and the concert hall.

People saw that the Dark piano seemed to be played by an invisible person with a pleasant rhythm, which could be comparable to the top pianist.

This is not a special surprise. As early as the 19th century, there were small mechanical puppets that could play the piano automatically. In the 20th century, automatic pianos using perforated paper as "tape" also came into people's homes. It was not until the rise of film that these automatic pianos were eliminated.

What really attracts everyone's attention is the mechanical swan in the middle of the concert hall.

It swam on the "water surface" formed by wavy glass, looked left and right from time to time, then bent its long neck, took a brass metal fish out of the "water", and then raised its neck to let it fall into its abdomen.

This series of movements are not dull and rigid at all. It is a living picture of Swan predation, which is really amazing.

"Will those violas and playing instruments play automatically?"

Ann pointed and asked.

You say that the piano can play automatically because there are mechanisms inside. It's easy to understand. It can almost be regarded as a large octave box, but how can the instruments that need to be held or blown be played?

When exploring the concert hall before, an Yizhi certainly wouldn't let go of such obvious things. Although an Yizhi looked away because of the complex structure of the piano, things such as the violin and clarinet were so small and their weight was normal, so they were unlikely to play automatically.

"I don't know, but the master told me that Mary and I haven't met."

Look at Charlie's face. It's not like lying. Besides, it's not necessary to lie.

Although the automatic musical instrument is really magical, it doesn't care much about the two "future people", an Yizhi and Tu Hongyu. They care more about where Edward's treasure is and what will happen in this copy.

The dinner was celebrated by everyone.

After dinner, an Yizhi and Tu Hongyu didn't go back to the library or the room. Instead, they went to the entertainment room and sat on the square table next to the wall playing chess.

The reason is very simple. Ann wants to observe anasta's sister.

She has a lot of doubts. It is possible that she has a clue about the treasure hidden by Mr. Edward.

However, they and anasta are not the only three people in the entertainment room. Almost everyone gathered here by chance. Not only by coincidence, but also others realized that anasta had a problem.

"General!"

"Horizontal trough, and this operation?"

Tu Hongyu smiled proudly:

"You're too young to play chess with me."

He is best at table games, while an Yizhi is completely opposite. He only knows the rules of chess, and there is no research at all. Tu Hongyu killed him almost every time.

This chessboard is also very unique and has a mechanism. As long as you put all the pieces on the chessboard and press the button on the side of the chessboard, those pieces will be arranged neatly by themselves. It's a little incredible.

They were playing chess, while the lawyer Abel, the old count and his wife sat in front of the bar drinking and chatting. They didn't know what they were talking about, but they were quite happy, and there were low laughter from time to time.

University lecturer burlik is very interested in the dart target on the wall. He is throwing darts alone with a glass of whisky.

However, anasta, who was most concerned by ANN, was still reading on a single sofa. This time it was replaced by Jane Eyre. And frowned from time to time, perhaps due to the plot in the book, but it is more likely that the people present interrupted her reading.

In particular, an pointed out that the goods were carrying a pipe found in their arms. They smoked every mouthful, and the smell of tobacco soon filled the whole room.

The servants Charlie and Mary don't know where they are. Maybe they're washing the dishes? They're not in the recreation room anyway.

Except that the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and now it looks like the faucet opens and releases water, everyone gets along well.

"See what?"

Tu Hongyu picked up the "Knight" and put it on the chessboard. He quietly pointed to an.

"Not yet."

An Yizhi picked up the 'soldier':

"But I was right about the classification of these people. They don't all know each other. The relationship is relatively complex. Some people know each other and some don't know each other at all."

"That's all?"

"Of course not. I also know that sister anasta must have an oversized bladder."

Tu Hongyu: "

This guy, why is the focus always so wonderful?

An Yizhi's concern is indeed a little strange, but it is not completely unreasonable.

Not to mention how much black tea anasta had just drunk at dinner, she had drunk almost a whole pot of water in the entertainment room. She didn't go to the toilet after drinking so much water. It was obvious that she couldn't do it without an oversized bladder.

Although it's a little bad to talk about a sister's bladder, an Yizhi doesn't care too much about it. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, and all kinds of ghosts when there are more people.

There are many strange people in the world. What's the characteristic of drinking water? To say the characteristics, an Yi pointed to Tu Hongyu in front of him, which was strange enough.

Junior high school has a height of 195 and a weight of 0.16 tons. Is this the size that normal people can have?

An Yizhi's eyes swept the crowd from the chessboard, and then returned to the chessboard.

Everything seems normal and harmonious, and there is nothing suspicious or wrong.

Later, I thought, this should be their last comfortable time
