"Kitagami Kazuhiko, Kitakami Kazuhiko..."
In Clyde's room, after Shirakawa Qing and Mary left, Clyde was still pacing back and forth in the room anxiously.
"Eijiro Tone...what are you thinking? Why did you call him here? Have you already told him what happened fifteen years ago?"
Sitting back on the sofa, Clyde just picked up the undrunk glass of red wine on the table. As if he thought of something, he immediately put the red wine back heavily.
"Yes, that must be the case. He must have known it all, so he killed Yang. He must have killed Yang!
The next one, the next one is definitely me... No, I can't just sit back and wait for death! "
He stood up again and began to walk back and forth in the room again, a fierce look appeared on Clyde's face.
"We must find the inheritance as soon as possible. Once I get the inheritance, I will leave the island immediately. Those two young detectives may be of some use, and Kevin..."
He made a fist with his right hand and slapped it hard on the palm of his left hand. The corners of Clyde's mouth raised slightly.
"If that time comes, I'll just let Kevin go..."
"Boom, boom."
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Who?" Clyde asked with some dissatisfaction after being interrupted.
Could it be those two detectives again?
With this thought in mind, he stepped forward and opened the door.
"Didn't I say that? I want to... hmm?"
However, after opening the door, the people standing outside the door were not the Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary he expected.
"Is it you? What's the matter?" Looking at this man, Clyde asked impatiently.
The person outside the door did not answer him, but suddenly rushed into the room when Clyde was unprepared, then took out a bundle of fishing line and strangled him tightly around his neck.
"Asshole! What do you want to do... Damn it! Come on, come on..."
"..."
"Mr. Kazuhiko, are you there?"
In the annex, in front of the door of Kitakami Kazuhiko's room, Mary raised her hand and knocked on the door as usual.
After the words fell, there was no response in the room.
"Mr. Kazuhiko?"
Mary asked again, but there was still no response.
Isn't anyone here?
It’s the same situation as Kevin’s before…
Looking at Bai Heqing next to her, Mary opened the door and walked in.
Neither of the two people, who have a flexible moral bottom line, felt the slightest bit guilty about entering other people's rooms without permission.
Similar to Clyde's room just now, Kitakami Kazuhiko's room is also very neat and refreshing. Apart from the original furniture, there are basically no unnecessary decorations.
"Mary, can you fish?" Bai Heqing suddenly asked.
"No, why do you ask this?" Mary looked back at him, only to find Shirakawa Kiyoshi looking at a corner of the room.
She followed his line of sight and found a fishing pole standing there.
"It seems that Mr. Kazuhiko's character is really incomparable. Others come to this island for the inheritance, but he actually came here leisurely with a fishing rod." Mary said with a smile.
"I remember that during the day, he seemed to have said more than once that he was not interested in Eijiro Tone's inheritance..."
"Who knows?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Bai Heqing quickly glanced at the situation in the room.
Whether as a detective or a police officer, his many years of experience in solving crimes have made him unable to judge a person's nature just through simple words.
The world is changeable, and the more critical and critical the moment, the more so. There are very few people who can remain consistent in all situations.
"..."
In Kitakami Kazuhiko's room, Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary did not find anything of value, and Kitakami Kazuhiko himself was not there, so the two left directly.
"What a coincidence, two of the three key people are no longer there." Bai Heqing said while walking in the corridor outside.
"I don't know if it's just a coincidence, or if everyone is doing something with ulterior motives... This annex is really full of undercurrents." Mary laughed.
"We got a lot of information today. Let's go back and rest first. We will continue the investigation tomorrow." Bai Heqing said.
"good."
Mary nodded. At this time, the two of them happened to be walking through the lobby corridor on the second floor. Mary accidentally glanced at the time on the clock placed against the wall.
"Huh? Is this clock broken?" She asked subconsciously.
"What?" Bai Heqing followed her line of sight and found that the hour hand on the clock stopped at a certain time and did not move at all.
"It seems so. Let's talk to Butler Cangqiao tomorrow morning..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kurahashi Motoaki walking over from the opposite corridor.
Seeing Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary, Kurahashi Motoaki was just a little surprised and walked over quickly.
"You two are standing here, what happened?"
"Nothing special." Looking at him, Bai Heqing said with a normal expression: "It's just that we suddenly discovered that the clock next to us seems to be broken."
"Ah, so it's this..."
When Kurahashi Motoaki heard this, he immediately smiled, walked to the clock and introduced to the two of them:
"You two have misunderstood. This clock is not broken, it's just that its time has been stopped here."
"Stopped here?"
"Yes." Nodding, Kurahashi Motoaki explained: "This clock was brought over by Mr. Eijiro from Singapore. Fifteen years ago, in order to commemorate the successful completion of the renovation of this annex, Mr. Eijiro specially put this clock in The time on the clock stopped at the moment when the construction was completed, so the time on this clock has actually not changed in the past fifteen years...
Ah, of course, you two don't have to worry. This is the only clock in the museum that is used as a memorial. I will check the clocks in the other rooms on time every day, and their time will not be wrong.
Speaking of which, Mr. Eijiro always had a hobby of collecting clocks made in other countries during his lifetime. At the beginning, debugging these clocks with different internal structures every day really gave me a headache..."
"You are really a dedicated and responsible housekeeper." After saying this with a smile, Bai Heqing suddenly asked in a casual tone:
"By the way, Butler Kurahashi, do you know where Mr. Kevin and Mr. Kazuhiko have gone? We have not encountered them in their rooms before."
"These two? I'm not sure..." Kurahashi Motoaki heard this and shook his head, "I didn't meet them in the hotel after dinner, but this annex is so big and has a lot of entertainment facilities. Mao, maybe they are in some other room now?"
"That's it, I understand..."
"You're welcome, Detective Shirakawa, if there's nothing else to ask, I'll go back and rest first," Kurahashi Motoaki said.
"Um."
Nodding, Bai Heqing and Mary moved out of the way in the corridor.
"It's getting late. You two, please go back and rest as soon as possible. You can continue the investigation tomorrow."
"Thank you for your concern."
