Another hour later, Zhao Yu and Xi Mengna were still wandering around in the maze.
"Oh, I'm so thirsty …" Xi Mengna said gloomily. "How could this be? I originally planned to come here to learn, but I didn't expect to be put into the maze! This damn Green, how could he treat a guest like this? "
"Um …" Zhao Yu was not in a hurry, but asked curiously, "Miss Detective, you and your father are both private detectives. I'm curious, what kind of cases do private detectives work on?
"Logically, you shouldn't be involved in criminal cases, right?"
"Why? Even you look down on me? " Xi Mengna said with a straight face. "Don't think that private detectives are only involved in small businesses like stalking, catching adulterers, and debt collection.
"Let me tell you, there are many levels of private detectives! My father is the top level. Our employers are big shots in politics and business, and the cases we handle are big ones that ordinary people can't even imagine.
"As for the criminal cases you mentioned …" Xi Mengna raised her hands and said calmly, "The laws in the United States are different from those in China. Although we are private detectives, if it involves some cases that the government can't handle, they will also hire us as consultants.
"The reason why my father is so famous is because he has helped the government solve many murder cases!"
Oh …
Zhao Yu could tell that this detective lady really had a powerful background. Her father should also be a famous figure in the American detective world.
"Hmm … Then your dad … Is he seriously ill?" Zhao Yu wanted to sound her out, so he asked again, "Why did a little girl like you have to come to Miracle Island alone to attend the banquet?"
"Why?" Xi Mengna raised her eyebrows and said vigilantly, "Detective Zhao, you're not trying to sound me out, are you? I advise you not to waste your breath. You'll know what you should know, but you won't know what you shouldn't know!
"I'm young, but you're not old either. Since you can come alone, why can't I? "
"You have a sharp tongue, I like it, hehe …" Zhao Yu complimented with a smirk.
"Well, in order to dispel your prejudice against me, I'll show you my incompetence …" Xi Mengna stopped walking and said to Zhao Yu, "Detective Zhao, according to my observation of you, you are right-handed, uneducated, short-tempered, arrogant, and greedy for petty gains …" She then added, "Detective Zhao, according to my observation of you, you are right-handed, uneducated, short-tempered, arrogant, and greedy.
"Also, you should have just arrived in Fiji this morning and had butter biscuits on the plane …
"Also … you often stay up late, like to fight, don't smoke, don't read, and don't like to gamble …
"You look like a pervert, but you're actually quite loyal when it comes to love …
"What do you think?" Xi Mengna spread her hands. "Am I right?"
What the …
Zhao Yu was shocked. He did not expect the detective to live up to her reputation. She had actually hit the mark.
"I won't say any more," Xi Mengna said proudly. "All in all, your personality, temperament, and quality do not meet the standards of a good detective!
"That's why I really suspect that you're a legendary Chinese detective and a street sweeper. Are you just making things up?"
"This …" Zhao Yu was stunned by Xi Mengna's rapid reasoning. For a moment, he did not know how to refute her.
Xi Mengna finally gained the upper hand. She raised the corners of her mouth proudly and continued to walk forward.
"Huh? What's wrong again? " At this time, the two of them were blocked by a bush. Xi Mengna could not help but frown. "This road should be open! How could it suddenly be blocked? This maze is so weird … "
"Wahaha …" Hearing this, Zhao Yu suddenly laughed and said to Xi Mengna, "Miss Detective, I admit that your analysis of me is spot on, but if you doubt my ability, then that's not right!
"Come on, in order to dispel your prejudice against me, I'll show you now. Haha …" As he spoke, Zhao Yu came to the bushes that blocked the way and said, "This maze is not strange at all. Can't you see it?
"In fact, this maze is alive. It's a moving maze!"
"Ah? A moving maze? "Xi Mengna was surprised.
"The bush is not all fixed. Some places can move. As soon as we walk past a place, the bush will move and change its position, so we can't figure out its pattern at all!" Zhao Yu explained.
"Oh …" Xi Mengna suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. No wonder I couldn't find it!"
"Look …" Zhao Yu squatted down and pointed to the roots of the bush. "There are no roots under the bush, so this wall is obviously fake!"
As he said this, Zhao Yu pulled from the tree, but he did not pull any leaves off. When he looked closer, he found that they were all plastic.
"This is too cunning!" Xi Mengna rubbed her hands. "In this way, it means that the route I remembered before is all messed up. We have to start from scratch again!"
"No." Zhao Yu touched the fake bush wall with his hand and said, "We can go through it directly. There's no need to play according to its pattern!"
"But …" Xi Mengna frowned. "If we go through it, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?"
"Humph, of course not!" Zhao Yu smiled. He reached into the bush and felt around. Soon, he pulled out a green thing.
Xi Mengna immediately recognized that the thing that Zhao Yu had taken out was a hidden camera. The camera was disguised as a tree branch, so it was impossible to see it.
"Look …" Zhao Yu pointed to the camera and said, "Every moving bush is equipped with surveillance equipment. In this way, the manipulator can accurately know our whereabouts. If our route is blocked in time, how can we have a chance to get out? "
"Wow, it's like this … It's so sinister!" Xi Mengna felt incredulous. "If it's all manipulated, then we can't get out even if we walk for a year!"
As she spoke, the way Xi Mengna looked at Zhao Yu had changed a hundred and eighty degrees. However, she did not know that Zhao Yu had a super powerful Invisible Detector with him. He had already seen through all the electronic equipment here.
Then, Zhao Yu did not hesitate and directly stepped on the camera.
"Eh?" Xi Mengna was worried. "Isn't this … inappropriate?"
"Humph, what's inappropriate about it?" Zhao Yu snorted. "Since the host doesn't abide by the rules of hospitality, why should we be polite to him? He deserves it!
"Alright." Zhao Yu reached out and pushed aside the fake bush. He said to Xi Mengna, "It's almost lunchtime. Let's not waste any more time!"
"Mm … Okay …" Xi Mengna nodded and immediately went through the gap between the trees without hesitation.
Once they found the way to solve it, the maze was no longer mysterious. After a while, the two of them came to a place that they had never been to before.
Zhao Yu was really bad. Along the way, he almost tore down all the cameras that the Invisible Detector could detect.
The manipulators of the maze were probably furious.
"Oh, yes!" Xi Mengna said excitedly. "If I remember correctly, we should be able to reach the exit after we pass through this wall!"
Then, she quickly walked through a fake bush. But as soon as she passed through, she let out a cry of surprise.
Huh?
Zhao Yu didn't know what was going on, so he hurried to catch up. When he passed through, he was surprised to see a huge pool in front of him.
