The client's uncle used to be a treasure hunter. The 200 kilograms of gold he was looking for was his booty.
Jonathan continued:
"Later, he returned to his hometown and opened a small company with this money, but my uncle didn't get a wife and had no children. In addition, my father died early due to illness, so I always lived in my uncle's house and gradually took over my uncle's small company when I grew up. However, my uncle is a very strange person. I remember that he never tells me any fairy tales, but likes to use it All kinds of puzzles to pass the time. "
As he spoke, Jonathan seemed to fall into memory. Then he realized that he had lost his attitude and made an sorry gesture.
"My uncle died of illness some time ago. I found this photo when sorting out his relics. At the same time, the lawyer also came to the door. He said he brought his uncle's will and asked me to find 200 kilograms of gold he hid at home in a month. Otherwise, all his property will be donated to the welfare fund."
"How long is the time limit?"
"There are about twenty days left. I also found a detective before you, but the other party tried for two days and finally refused my entrustment. He couldn't find any clues at all."
In short, this Commission is a treasure hunt, the purpose is to find the hidden gold.
An Yizhi thought a little and then said:
"Mr. Jonathan, I understand the general situation of the entrustment. How much do you intend to pay?"
The other party raises his hand and opens his five fingers:
"50000, I promise it's after tax."
Sitting on an Yizhi's side, Shuidao Mengzi quickly secretly pulled his clothes and signaled him that with this money, he could at least pay off his previous debts.
An Yizhi was completely unmoved:
"Mr. Jonathan, 200 kilograms of gold alone is a lot of money. Besides, you can inherit your uncle's company and other property. 50000 is too little. You're looking for a rising detective like me. It's estimated that you think it can be cheaper, but I want 500000."
"Impossible."
The other party shook his head and said:
"I don't have so much cash. If I use the money in the company, it will lead to capital outflow problems, up to 100000. I'd rather hire a more famous detective than this price."
Shuidao Mengzi continues to crazily pull the corners of his clothes under the table, which means "put it away when you see it.".
An Yizhi could only nod helplessly:
"Well, 100000 is 100000. Have you brought the contract?"
"Nature."
Yuan BenAn also wants to deduct more points. After all, 200 kilograms of gold, even if calculated roughly at 300 yuan per gram, is also 60 million. Such a large sum of money makes the other party pay 200000 or 300000. It's just a small deal.
However, Shuidao Mengzi is crazy to drag his clothes. In addition, he is really unlikely to get too much money. After all, this is the entrustment that comes out only when the reputation level is level 2. It is really unrealistic to make a lot of money.
When the other party comes, he will bring the contract with him. After both parties make some adjustments to the amount of remuneration, they will sign and take effect after confirmation.
An Yizhi handed his contract to Shuidao Mengzi and asked her to put it into her small backpack. The sister's action and expression were like holding a bomb
——I'm afraid of being poor.
When the waiter came in and put down their coffee and ice water, an pointed and asked:
"Now that the contract has been signed, can Mr. Jonathan tell me if your uncle left any clues? And the general contents of the will related to treasure hunting?"
As the saying goes, a skillful woman can't make bricks without rice. Even Holmes can't handle a case without a clue.
Jonathan took a sip of coffee and nodded:
"The only clue my uncle left was a watch."
He said, taking out a fine square watch from his arms, which was very valuable at first sight.
However, the size of this watch is mainly due to its volume. It is not so much an expensive and precise mechanical watch as it looks more like the size of a watch that young people like to wear. The volume of the watch is particularly thick.
"Can I have a look?"
Jonathan made a gesture of invitation. Ann pointed to her watch and looked carefully.
The dial and pointer are inlaid with fine gemstones, which is also the standard configuration of high-end watches. Unfortunately, in the lower left corner of the dial, there is a gap that seems to be left after accidentally knocking on some hard object, which feels a little flawed.
But the most important thing is that the body of this watch is very thick, not as big as ordinary high-end watches.
He weighed it a little and said:
"This watch has a mechanism. There should be the next clue left by your uncle."
"Yes, that's what the detective said before. You can pull the winding knob outward."
Gently, an Yizhi heard a slight movement sound from the back of the dial. When he turned it over, a fine seam opened the back cover of the watch.
When you open it with your fingernails, you can see a folded piece of paper placed inside. After you take out the paper, you can also see a strange piece of metal placed in a special groove.
An Yizhi opened the note and wrote only one sentence:
What the eyes see is not true.
"That's where the detective couldn't continue to chase?"
"Yes, he looked for a long time and didn't find what this clue really meant."
"Do you know this piece of metal?"
Ann pointed to the strange metal sheet behind the paper, reached out and took it down. At this time, he found that the metal piece with long knuckles was still folded. When it was fully unfolded, it would become a metal strip with long fingers, which looked like some kind of key.
"I don't know what it is. The detective guessed that it might be the key, but he couldn't find the corresponding lock."
After looking over and over several times, Ann pointed to put these things into the watch and handed them back to Jonathan:
"Is there anything else I need to know?"
"As for the part of the will looking for gold, the lawyer said that the uncle put the gold in his villa, but there are also rules that do not allow the destruction of the house structure. In addition, there are no restrictions."
That's right. If an Yizhi knew that his relatives had left him 200 kilograms of gold, he would call an excavator to demolish the house, even if he dug three feet of land.
But his family's relatives... Daydreams don't do that either.
"Does no one know the location of those gold except your uncle?"
Since it is difficult to solve the puzzle, we should simply start from the source.
"I don't know, but the lawyer must know that he is a good friend of his uncle for many years, but he won't say."
Whether it's out of the spirit of the contract or the entrustment of an old friend, it's impossible to ask him.
"Let's ask, is the treasure hunt in the mountains and forests?"
An Yizhi's worry is unreasonable. This situation is easy to be developed into a model of snowstorm villa by the system. It usually won't end until a few people die.
Jonathan looked at Ann strangely and said:
"No, uncle's villa is outside the city, but it's not far away. If you drive, you can enter the city in three or five minutes."
He was relieved. After thinking about what to do, an pointed at the table and said:
"Well, I understand the general situation, so do you start looking for it now?"
"No."
Jonathan took out his cell phone, looked at it and said:
"I have something to deal with later. Can I start looking for it tomorrow?"
Isn't it reasonable that the sooner it starts, the better? Why do you have to put it off until tomorrow?
"Some family affairs, I'm just a little worried about disturbing my job search."
Since the client has said so, an Yizhi can only promise.
The mechanism of transferring scenes in this temporary copy is really easy to use. As long as the picture changes, it changes places. It is one of the few conscience of the system.
After negotiating the conditions and details of the entrustment with Jonathan, an Yi pointed out that they returned to the firm again.
An Yizhi looked at the time displayed on the computer and suddenly remembered that although he had received a commission, the problem of dinner was still not settled
When he was trying to decide whether to take another short-term commission to solve the urgent problem, he suddenly found that he could see the back of his head.
This feeling is quite novel. It's a bit like the soul out of the body. He floats out of the body of "an Yizhi" and looks at the body in front of the computer.
Then he found that time was moving forward at an extremely fast speed, and the whole picture was like fast forward. He saw that the sun behind him quickly turned yellow and into night. He also saw that "an Yizhi" and Shuidao Mengzi ate a sad dinner that was as simple as fried eggs and sugar water. He also saw that they went back to their rooms to sleep after dark.
No wonder the system does not have an open sleep mode. For example, in the temporary copy, items with special plots during sleep at night are directly skipped. After all, there is no real main task entrustment in this copy, which is accumulated by a large number of branch tasks. Therefore, there is no mode to arrange special plots to give players clues at night.
About a minute later, when the late night outside the window turned into sunshine, Ann pointed to her body, went to the toilet to wash and sat at her desk again.
At this time, his vision hit his body and regained control of his body.
At the same time, there was a clear bell outside the door.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
According to the previous agreement, Jonathan came back to the office to pick up Ann and pointed to them. He had planned to directly tell him the address, but Ann pointed out that considering that it was too embarrassing for her old car to run near the villa, she had to bite the bullet and ask the client to pick it up
Needless to say, it is still the consistent style of the system, and the picture will arrive at the place as soon as it turns.
"Mr. an, please wait here for a moment. I'll park the car in the garage."
Jonathan pointed ANN to the two of them at the door and drove around the back of the house to stop.
From this description, we can see how big the villa in front of an Yizhi is. It is not so much a villa as a luxurious foreign Pavilion. The architectural style is very close to the Baroque dome style.
This reminds an Yizhi of some bad memories, such as the "deep mountain Museum" he went to with Tu Hongyu a long time ago. (see Chapter 171 ~ 190 for details)
However, as Jonathan himself said, although the villa is outside the city, it is not far from the city. Now an Yizhi can see the shadowy high-rise buildings in the distance as soon as he looks back. The road is also a great plain. There is no possibility of snowstorm villa at all.
But you should understand that even if it's not the model of Blizzard villa, it doesn't say it won't die
