Chapter 1214

Due to the death of Jonathan's uncle, a large number of servants he had hired to take care of his uncle have basically been dismissed, and even the cook in charge of cooking was temporarily invited.

Jonathan said before that he didn't live here. He hired a cook just because there were many guests at home. He would go back after the meal, which was basically similar to that of a rural cook.

——That's too grounded.

Although it was scattered all over the house at ordinary times, it would gather when it was time to eat. Even Jonathan's big brother came out when he had stayed in the room to chant scriptures.

This time, an Yizhi was officially face-to-face with his big brother. He only saw his back before.

This man looks a few years older than James, but he looks weather beaten and has a full face of enlightenment

When he saw Ann pointing, he seemed to say hello with his hands folded. Jonathan said that his eldest brother was practicing closed meditation and couldn't speak, so he was inevitably rude.

Speaking of rudeness, the woman she met before entering the door was called rudeness. She had never seen Ann point at them. She looked like she was punching people with eyes higher than her nose. Ann point was naturally more lazy to pay attention to her.

Jonathan sat in the chair on the long table, and the others lined up at one time. In addition to his monk's eldest brother and the woman who didn't know whether she was a second sister-in-law, there was an old man over seventy.

"Mr. ANN, let me introduce you. This is Mr. James. He is my uncle's best friend and the executor of the will."

If his name is James Bond ANN, it's time to call the police!

"This is Mr. an Yizhi. That is Miss Shuidao Mengzi. They are the detectives I invited back."

When Jonathan introduced them, Ann stood up and shook hands with James opposite. Although she saw that it was over seventy last year, her fingers were still very strong. She was a strong old man.

However, when Ann pointed out that they were detectives, James was stunned:

"Detective? Did you ask a detective to help you find it?"

"Yes, is there anything strange?"

James sighed clearly:

"Forget it. Anyway, it's not indicated in the will. It's up to you."

He fastened his napkin and said:

"I'll often come here to show my face in the last two days. Let me know if you find it."

"OK, in fact, we made very fast progress this morning."

James nodded indifferently, but the middle-aged woman pricked her ears, but I don't know if it was because there were many people. She didn't interrupt, didn't even say a word, and ate her own lunch.

Ann looked at the red wine stewed snail and felt it was a little difficult. Who knows Jonathan hired a French cook.

I've tried this kind of thing once in a copy before. It tastes really good. An Yizhi also hypnotized himself. This thing is actually conch, because it's really hard to accept eating insects.

Shuidao Mengzi doesn't have any resistance, or as long as it's food, she doesn't resist.

At first, an Yizhi thought that her appetite would make her stand out on the dinner table. As a result, she maintained a very decent behavior throughout the whole process, but the speed of eliminating food was the fastest!

Woman

Of course, it's more likely to be afraid of being hungry. It's rare to meet a delicious food. It's too bad not to eat more.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

There wasn't much to say during lunch. It was mainly a chat between Ann Yizhi, Jonathan and James. Ann Yizhi planned to know more about Uncle Jonathan and had a good conversation, so he had a good time.

However, there was nothing to pay attention to in the information obtained. At most, it improved his uncle's personal design.

Jonathan's uncle is a strange man in the eyes of outsiders. He dropped out of school when he was very young, went to the ship as a sailor, and then ran to be a treasure hunter after not working for two years, which is 20 years.

When he came back, although he had money, he never wasted it. Except for this house, he didn't buy luxury cars, play with women, and don't need luxury goods. He had no desire.

James said he went to be a treasure hunter just to run around the world, take risks, make money or how much money, but he didn't really care.

He came back only because he heard of Jonathan's father's death and came back to take care of Jonathan's three brothers. Otherwise, he would wander outside until his old death.

Such people are really strange people in the eyes of outsiders.

However, an Yi pointed out that the riddle left by the old man was quite interesting. This interesting was not the difficulty and process, but the idea of the author.

As a problem solver, an Yizhi can even feel what kind of mood the problem maker holds when considering these problems. These are very warm puzzles.

So there are some metaphysics, but they do give an a finger.

The puzzle is not to hide gold, nor is it to break Jonathan's brain. It's more like a kind-hearted old man teaching his children some principles of life.

Ann can feel it, but she doesn't know whether Jonathan can understand his uncle's painstaking efforts, or whether he is more interested in the 200 kilograms of gold.

Anyhow, Anyi refers to the one who received the entrustment, or that sentence. This belongs to other people's family affairs. Anyi refers to being too lazy to ask or remind.

His task is to find the 200 kilograms of gold and get the Commission reward, so as to at least improve the business situation of the firm.

——There are no eggs and sugar in the office.

After lunch, old James found a room and said he would have a rest. Everyone else went back to their own room. Only Jonathan still followed Ann and continued their treasure hunt.

During lunch, Ann didn't just talk. He also thought about the tips he got on the hyacinth chicken.

"When I see it, I always have a unique sense of security. I'm finally home."

As Ann Yizhi said before, as long as you understand what "it" means, you can find the place of the next prompt.

What this "it" actually means should be considered from other aspects, not from the literal meaning.

This is uncle Jonathan's experience.

Whether as a sailor or a treasure hunter, Jonathan's uncle drifted on the sea all year round. For a sailor, what would make him feel at ease and realize that he was home?

There is only one answer.

"Mr. Jonathan, are there any decorations or furnishings related to seagulls in the room?"

Yes, it's the seagull.

Although not everyone has seen seagulls with their own eyes, they have basically seen such birds in various works. They usually gather in coastal areas rich in aquatic products such as ports. When they see seagulls on board, it proves that they are not far from land. The risk of the sea has passed, and naturally they have a sense of peace of mind and "home".

"Seagull... I don't know whether the painting counts, but the painting doesn't specifically describe seagulls, but seagulls appear."

"It doesn't matter."

Anyway, there will be no loss to go and have a look. If Ann Yizhi guesses correctly, the painting Jonathan said is the next place.

Then he took an Yizhi and Shuidao Mengzi to the end of the corridor on the first floor. A pair of words hung on the wall facing the corridor.

It is a painting depicting the departure of a fishing boat. You can see several seagulls flapping their wings above the ship and the quiet port city behind the ship.

"This painting is not a famous painting. It may have been painted by my uncle himself. It has been here since I can remember."

An Yi pointed up and looked at the picture. At first glance, he didn't find anything worthy of attention.

Then, he measured the height of himself and Jonathan slightly with his eyes. He felt almost the same, and then reached for the painting.

Because the painting was hung high, ANN could only reach the lower half of the painting at most, and the part with seagulls on the upper half could not reach it.

Or take Jonathan as a reference. This is the puzzle left to him by his uncle. Jonathan has the key to solve all the puzzles, and so does his height.

This means that if there is the mechanism to get the note before, it is in the lower part of the painting.

"Is there something wrong with that wave?"

Shuidao Mengzi seems to see some clues. She said:

"It's the one under the ship. The ripple seems to be broken."

An Yi pointed to look along the position she said, and it was true, but the broken part was inconspicuous in a lot of lines representing the waves.

Stretch out your finger and press it. An Yi can clearly feel that there is a spring button behind the canvas, which has a sense of return.

Then they saw that on the left side of the corridor behind them, a square gap was opened, and they could see the stairs extending downward, a bit like the one before going to the attic. The difference is that this is downward.

An Yizhi stood in the gap and looked down. It was dark and there was no light.

"Mr. Jonathan, do you have a flashlight, candle or something at home?"

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

The family he had lived in for more than ten years had a basement he didn't know. Jonathan seemed to have seen the 200 kg of gold in it. He hurried to get the lighting. He came back with two candlesticks full of candles in less than a minute.

It's like a candlestick for a candlelight dinner. One candlestick can insert three candles. After lighting them all, Ann Yizhi and Jonathan stepped into the space under the floor.

The lighting capacity of candles is OK, mainly because there are enough candles. You can clearly see a wooden door on the left side of the stairs.

Ann reached out and turned on the door handle. The door was unlocked.

He opened the wooden door, and what appeared behind the door was not Jonathan's long-awaited gold, but an underground space of more than 30 square meters.

At the other end of the room, you can see a metal double open iron door. There are two old-fashioned light bulbs on the left and right above the door frame. I don't know what these settings are for.
