Chapter 612 Dusk Villa → Golden Villa

“…” Toru Amuro glanced at the cowboy detective and felt that he was exaggerating.

But then he thought about it. After the detective’s acquaintances found out that the detective who went to the “Twilight Annex” for a banquet had mysteriously disappeared, they would probably ask the police for help or come to find him themselves.

And now, there are so many detectives in the Twilight Annex. Their acquaintances can be counted together, and there are always more than a dozen or even dozens of them. Among these acquaintances, one person called the police, two people called the police at the same time, three, four... Just arrange and combine them, a hundred ways are enough, and there are even more.

So in the end, Toru Amuro did not comment on this boastful statement.

He looked at Jiang Xia, who was wearing the shell of Matsuda - Jiang Xia was looking at the cowboy detective with a puzzled expression.

Toru Amuro took the initiative to explain:

“We didn’t actually have to act out that scene just now. We just had to wait a little longer - Hakuba sent a distress message to the outside with his eagle, and the helicopter is almost here now.”

“Yeah, he didn’t say it earlier, so we lay on the ground for so long.”

Qintian Yumi patted the dust off her body and sighed.

She looked at Kurosawa who proposed "acting", and then looked at Hakuba Tan who concealed information and indirectly contributed to the massacre drama, with a slightly condemning tone: "Master Hakuba, you don't think acting is fun, so you cooperate with him."

... Speaking of which, although Hakuba Tan looks elegant and calm, if you think carefully, he is actually still a little kid, and it is entirely possible that he will be attracted by some novel suggestions...

"..."

Hakuba Tan was silent for a while, carefully wiping the ketchup on his body.

He did think that this kind of real-life battle royale that was performed on the spot was interesting, but, of course, this was not the reason why he concealed it.

"I'm sorry to let the lady participate in such a cruel play." Hakuba Tan had a calm face and a gentle expression, but his eyes were slightly drifting, "It was because Watson was particularly disobedient today. So I didn't have a full grasp at the time - it's always right to be prepared."

... The sophistry was still reasonable and well-founded.

Gunda Yumi reluctantly nodded.

…

As the helicopter approached and landed in the spacious courtyard, the rumbling noise became louder and louder.

But after listening for a while, Amuro Toru felt that something was wrong - it seemed that it was not just the noise of the police helicopter, but also mixed with some other noises.

Jiang Xia didn't know much about police helicopters, but he had a deep understanding of the Golden Villa.

In addition, he was very careful about the surrounding situation, so he immediately noticed the abnormality.

——In his impression, the gold watch on the wall that was so valuable that ordinary people could live a life of worry-free food and clothing was not the treasure itself, but just a key to open the treasure.

When this hidden mechanism for many years was triggered, the shell of the entire Dusk Villa would crack and collapse, revealing the dazzling gold inside.

…

As the vibration gradually intensified, the detectives soon realized that the "rumbling" sound was not caused by the helicopter.

"…Earthquake? It seems that this building is earthquake-resistant. But it's not safe to stay for a long time, so leave as soon as possible."

A group of people ran quickly towards the exit.

Jiang Xia followed them and planned to take a helicopter.

He looked up at the crumbling building.

But it shook for a long time, but there was no progress, not even a piece of wall skin fell off.

A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Xia's head.

... The progress of the collapse seemed to be much slower than he remembered?

He pondered for a moment, and then felt that he understood.

- Although it is not clear how the complicated scientific mechanism in the annex works, the huge amount of gold mixed in the middle may be a key link, such as using its weight to trigger the next mechanism... However, now, the weight of gold is probably a little less than the designer expected.

Jiang Xia looked at the building with an unusually slow collapse progress, and only some of the walls were slightly cracked until they approached the hall from the restaurant: "..."

It won't collapse until the end, and the gold will continue to be hidden in it.

He was already tired of digging...

And since "Uzo" had already appeared here, it would be inconvenient to continue stealing the gold in the boss's old house. Otherwise, if it was exposed, it would be easy for the boss to play tricks on him... In short, since this place is useless, it is better to put the gold to use as soon as possible and turn it into performance than to let it pile up here aimlessly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia secretly poked the ghosts on his body, intending to let them float around in the mechanism and find a key stress point that would be convenient for puppet clay to start with.

At this moment, there was a sudden snap nearby - a piece of wall skin finally fell off.

Under the dim and swaying wall lamp, a golden light shone from the wall.

The detectives who had already run around the corner did not see this scene.

But Jiang Xia, who fell behind them, and Amuro Toru, who fell behind Jiang Xia, were attracted by the movement of the wall skin falling and subconsciously looked over.

Then Jiang Xia found that Amuro Toru's footsteps paused slightly - this intelligence officer seemed to be aware of the problem and obviously had some associations after seeing the golden light.

Jiang Xia: "..." It seems that the real "treasure" has been found.

He retracted his gaze from the wall, walked around the corner without stopping, and asked the ghosts to keep a close eye on Amuro Toru.

At the same time, he secretly thought that if the biased boss only informed the police and ignored the organization boss, he would wait until there was no one around and go over to say something like "Hi, Bourbon~" like Vermouth. In this way, Amuro Toru should immediately stop his behavior that was not in line with "Bourbon".

However, just after Jiang Xia turned the corner and his sight was cut off.

Amuro Toru, who was left at the end, looked back at the place where the crack spread, and then looked at the atrium from the side window. His mind was working rapidly, and he completely constructed the distribution of the entire annex based on the path he had taken when searching the annex just now. After that, he suddenly took out a pistol from his arms, put on a silencer, and under the cover of the increasingly loud sound of the building collapsing, he climbed out of the wall from the side window and fired a few shots from outside in the night.

Then he returned to the corridor as if nothing had happened, ran quickly forward, and caught up with the detectives.

…

As the last person stepped out of the gate of the annex, the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, illuminating the mountains and the annex. Everything seemed full of hope, as if it indicated that this absurd "massacre" had ended.

A group of people quickly walked to the open space in the courtyard and boarded the helicopter sent by the police for rescue.

The large helicopter took off with the detectives with their own thoughts and headed towards the city.

At this time, Grandma Qianjian, who was near the window, looked down and suddenly stood up excitedly, as if she had seen something extremely shocking, and pressed tightly against the window.
