Chapter 352 Mystery's Answer
Saguru Hakuba suppressed his Curiosity, tried the ignition, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It still starts, I'll slow down a bit."
"When we get to the Place, the Car can be rinsed with Water," Chi Feichei said.
He also saw the Problem.
Saguru Hakuba's behavior shouldn't be considered Germophobia, it's just a bit of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder tendency, unable to accept the Destruction of a certain balance or beauty.
Kuroba Kaito must have Intentionally set up this Scheme.
Frankly speaking, although Saguru Hakuba's driving route was crooked, because it was raining, the Car Speed was not fast, it could be said to be driving at a snail's pace. Even if the Car head crashed into something, it wouldn't hurt anyone. In addition, with his and Saguru Hakuba's Reaction, they would definitely make the correct Choice subconsciously in Danger.
In the end, the Possibility of a slight rear-end collision was higher, and there was no need to worry about anything major happening at all.
A Prank.
He wasn't angry, he would just take revenge when he was in a bad Mood sometime...
Saguru Hakuba smiled helplessly, "You found out, huh? Also Correct, from the beginning when I was anxious to drive out of this section of Road, I was a little bit not calm enough, competing with myself, childishly like a Kid, but it's fine now."
...
It was past four o'clock, and the sky was so gloomy that it seemed like Night had already fallen.
The heavy Rain washed over the Tree Branches, swaying and shaking, with shadows flickering, as if some terrifying Creature was hiding in the Jungle, staring at the vehicles passing by on the silent Road.
Under the Rain curtain, the slightly peeling Wall of Dusk Villa looked even more ancient and dilapidated, like a vampire Castle forgotten outside the World.
Saguru Hakuba did not drive the Car, which was splattered with Soil and had a dent in the rear, to the Twilight Mansion. He parked the Car in a hidden Place nearby, and got out of the Car with Chi Feichei. Each of them held an Umbrella and walked towards the Entrance, while explaining in a low voice, "This invitation is definitely not a good Banquet. I parked the Car over there, claiming that we were sent here by someone. If something happens, we'll have a way out. Moreover, I really don't want that Car to spoil the Atmosphere here. Although it looks a bit gloomy, I have to say, this House is really magnificent..."
Chi Feichei looked up, "Looking at the overall Style, it's like Renaissance Architecture."
"Oh?" In the Parking Lot on the side, a stout Man in a White Suit walked forward with an Umbrella, smiling and saying, "This Young man, do you also have some Knowledge of Architectural Style?"
"Greek Architecture, characterized by Pillars and triangular pediments like Sandwiches, followed by Roman Architecture," Chi Feichei turned his Head to look at the Man, his Gaze calm, "The ancient Roman poet Horace Said, we Romans conquered Greece, but culturally we were conquered by Greece. Roman Architecture added an arch like a bun to Greek Architecture. Some added buns at the back, some added buns on top, some put buns alone, and some put buns on a Plate, which are archways; Byzantine Architecture, which is to put an onion head on top of the building; Gothic Architecture, which looks tall and sharp, like standing corn..."
Saguru Hakuba: "..."
Stout Man: "..."
Thinking about it this way, it really is.
But why keep using Food as a metaphor?
Everyone didn't have a good Lunch, and now hearing this, they suddenly feel a little Hungry...
"The characteristic of Renaissance Architecture is left-right symmetry, Windows are symmetrical left and right, Pillars are symmetrical left and right. If you have to use a metaphor, it's like a Book..."
Chi Feichei finally stopped using Food metaphors, raised his Head, and looked at the entire House from under the eaves of the Umbrella, "The top of the Tower is Byzantine Style, but looking at the whole, it should be Renaissance Architecture. In addition, there is another more famous Style, Baroque Style, originally meaning 'deformed Pearl', originating from 17th-century Italy. It adds gorgeousness, exaggeration, and carvings to the original Renaissance Architecture for Decoration, generally in noble gold."
"Your metaphors are really interesting," the stout Man chuckled, and after reaching the two of them, he Reached Out his Hand, "I am Da Shang Zhushan, very happy to meet you two!"
"So you are Gourmet Detective Mr. Da Shang, I am Saguru Hakuba, a High School Detective," Saguru Hakuba reached out and shook hands with Da Shang Zhushan. When Chi Feichei shook hands with Da Shang Zhushan, he took the initiative to help introduce, "This is Chi Feichei, you can also Saying he is..."
"Veterinarian," Chi Feichei took over the Words.
Saguru Hakuba: "..."
Hassashi, don't be like this, it's very awkward...
"Hahaha, Mr. Chi is really humorous!" Da Shang Zhushan laughed, and walked up the Stairs first, "You two are also invited here, right? Then let's go in and take a look earlier, I am very Curious about this Place!"
Chi Feichei followed.
Da Shang Zhushan, one of the masterminds of this invitation, is essentially a ruthless Fellow who Intention to leave the other Detectives here forever after the Mystery of Twilight Mansion is solved, but Pity, he died early...
The Door was knocked, and after a while, a Short Hair Maid with a few Freckles on her Face opened the Door, bowed, and stepped aside to make way, "Welcome, are you Mr. Da Shang, Mr. Chi, and Mr. Hakuba? Please come in."
"We are here in response to the invitation, shouldn't your Master meet us?" Da Shang Zhushan pretended to be ignorant of the inside story.
"I'm sorry," the Maid said apologetically, "Actually, I don't Know Whether or Not Master has come. I was hired through online recruitment. After I came, I only contacted Master through Email, and I have not met him in person."
"That's really mysterious," Saguru Hakuba entered the Door, closed his Umbrella, and put the Umbrella into the umbrella stand next to the Door, smiling and looking around, "There is no particularly gorgeous golden Decoration, the Staircase is symmetrical, and it looks relatively heavy, Hassashi, it seems it's not Baroque Style."
Chi Feichei remained noncommittal. When the Mechanism is activated, please look again to see if it is gorgeous gold, it's so golden that it can almost blind your eyes, okay...
"Rather than heavy, it's better to Say it's gloomy, right?" Da Shang Zhushan put away his Umbrella, and walked inside while Observing.
The Maid took out her Mobile Phone and Look at the Time, "There are still more than two Hours before the Banquet begins, I will take the three of you to your Rooms to rest."
"Whether or Not we should choose our respective Places of Interest first and take a look around this Annex?" Chi Feichei asked Saguru Hakuba and Da Shang Zhushan, and Turned Head to Look at the Maid, "Is it possible?"
"Hmm, Master didn't Say anything about this..." The Maid pondered, subconsciously biting her right Thumb, "It should be possible."
"Then let's Look around," Saguru Hakuba smiled and walked Upstairs, "I'll start from Upstairs."
"I'll take a look at the overall layout first," Chi Feichei also chose a Direction to leave.
"Mr. Chi still wants to see what Style of Architecture this is, right?" Da Shang Zhushan laughed, "Then I'll start looking from the other side."
After the three separated, Chi Feichei walked around the Hallway of the entire Twilight Mansion and noted down a rough Map.
In addition, there are many hidden Surveillance Cameras in this Annex. He has to secretly find out the Locations of those Cameras and memorize them, so as to avoid them as much as possible when starting the treasure hunt.
There are Cameras in many Places in the Annex, but they are not dense. As long as you find the Locations of the Cameras, calculate the shooting range, and find the Blind Spots, and with good skills, it is not too difficult to avoid them.
And Electronic Devices will inevitably generate heat after running for a long Time, and there will be a difference in Temperature from the surrounding environment. Those hidden Cameras are really hard to hide from Hissashi's Heat Vision.
After Chi Feichei memorized all the Roads in Twilight Mansion, he avoided the Surveillance Cameras distributed throughout the Annex, moved forward along the Blind Spots, returned to the Lobby, and walked in again, heading northeast all the way.
The Mystery that The Boss gave him was: Zither Music sounds, Black Eagle cries, two Lion Kings fight, holding Sword to stab the enemy, holding Axe bravely to meet the challenge, Gods descend Sacred Beast to help, Victory Pearl is hidden in the Jungle.
The Hint is: Raki is a Liquor that simultaneously possesses the Sun, Moon, and Star.
As long as you see through the Hint, solving the Mystery is not difficult.
Raki is Turkey's National Liquor.
Turkey does not have an Official National Emblem, but a Pattern commonly used by many Official institutions replaces the National Emblem, which is a Pattern of a white crescent Moon and a white Star in a red oval.
If the red oval is regarded as a round red Sun, then the Pattern is equivalent to simultaneously possessing the Sun, Moon, and Star.
In other Words, the Real meaning of the Hint is National Emblem, or the regional Logo used by Official institutions.
The first Sentence 'Zither Music sounds' refers to Ireland with a harp.
The second Sentence 'Black Eagle cries', and there is more than one country whose National Emblem has a Black Eagle, but the Eagle whose Body is pure black is Germany.
'Two Lion Kings fight, holding Sword to stab the enemy, holding Axe bravely to meet the challenge' refers to two countries.
One is a Lion with a Sword, 'wanting' indicates that the Sword has not yet been stabbed out.
He had seen countless of this kind of Word Game in his previous life.
That is Finland. Finland's National Emblem is a Golden Lion wearing a Crown and carrying a Sword.
The other Place is 'Lion holding an Axe', and the Place whose National Emblem is a Lion wearing a Crown and holding a golden-handled silver Axe is Norway.
At the same Time, these two Lions have Crowns on their Heads, which also meets the point of 'Lion King'.
The subsequent 'Gods descend Sacred Beast to help' refers to Britain.
Britain does not have a National Emblem. Britons pledge allegiance to the King and Queen and regard them as the noblest symbol of the country. Therefore, the Royal Coat of Arms has the meaning of a National Emblem.
On the Royal Coat of Arms, guarding the shield on the left and right are a Golden Lion representing England, wearing a Crown, and a Unicorn representing Scotland.
In Legends, the Unicorn is the Sacred Beast descended by Gods.
Finally, 'Star Pearl representing Victory is hidden in the Jungle' refers to Italy.
Italy's National Emblem is a circular gear plus a white Star. The gear represents workers. At the same Time, the gear is surrounded by olives symbolizing peace and oak branches symbolizing Strength and dignity.
Looking at it from a distance, the circular gear looks like a Pearl, with a Star Pattern on it, and it is also surrounded by Tree Branches, which also meets the Sentence 'hidden in the Jungle'.
The Answer to the entire Mystery is: Ireland, Germany, Finland, Norway, Britain, Italy.
Afterwards, restore the Map of Twilight Mansion, overlap the Entrance and Ireland initially hinted in the Mystery, and follow the order hinted in the Mystery, starting from Ireland, to Germany, Finland, Norway, Britain, Italy, and use Arrows to point them out one by one, which is a route...
Overlapping with the Location of 'Finland' is a Lounge. After entering, go out from another Door in the southwest Direction, and continue forward, and there is another Room.
Hissashi poked his Head out and stared at the Room Door for a moment, "Master, there Seem to be no Cameras in this Room."
"Confirm again," Chi Feichei was not in a hurry to go in, gently twisted the Door open, opened a Crack, and let Hissashi go in first to Check.
He still had this bit of patience, he didn't want to capsize at the last moment after avoiding them all the way.
After waiting for a while, Hissashi climbed out, "Indeed there are no Cameras."
"Hmm."
Chi Feichei gently pushed open the Door and turned on the Light Switch by the Light Wall.
The Room was very large, with thick red carpet on the Ground, and the Crystal Chandelier was gorgeous and dazzling, but there was no Furniture or Things placed inside.
There were no large Windows, only a row of narrow Ventilation Windows left at the top of the Wall.
Chi Feichei closed the Door, and casually locked the Door, took out a pair of Gloves and put them on, and said in a low voice, "Hissashi, remind me if someone comes Outside the Door."
"Okay, Master," Hissashi poked his Head out from Chi Feichei's Collar, also lowered his Voice, looking a bit sneaky, "But have Things here been moved away?"
