"That psycho Grimm, he actually laid the groundwork for us ten years ago. He's really something!" After the two of them checked the room together and confirmed that there were no bugs or cameras, Miao Kun pointed to their room keys and said, "The trick is on the keys!"
"Keys?" Zhao Yu looked at the two keys and didn't find anything special about them.
"Not these two. Of course, these are the keys from ten years ago!" Miao Kun looked out of the window and lowered his voice. He then said to Zhao Yu carefully, "I'm sure that the clue Green left me was a P!"
"P?" Zhao Yu wondered. "How did you get it? Don't you think it stinks? "
"No, I'm talking about the letter P! The P in the GPS! Do you understand? Uppercase! " Miao Kun explained. "When we lived on Miracle Island, Green also gave each of us a room key. The shape of the key, as well as the room number, are all the same as what you see now.
But, the pattern on the key is different! "
"Pattern?" Zhao Yu put the two keys together and asked curiously, "There's no pattern on them at all!"
"Yes, that's why I'm sure that P is the clue he left me!" Miao Kun picked up the key and said, "The key he gave me back then was engraved with a very inconspicuous letter P. Since it's gone now, it means that P is the clue he wanted to leave me!"
"P … P … That's … How appropriate …" Zhao Yu praised.
"Go to hell!" Miao Kun glared at Zhao Yu. "I remember clearly that my next-door neighbor got drunk one night and used his key to open my door, so I taught him a lesson.
But, when I was teaching him a lesson, I suddenly found that there was also a letter on his key. It was a lowercase letter A. "
Miao Kun frowned and said, "So, at that time, I thought that the A on the key referred to the first letter of his name!
"I drank a lot that day, so I didn't think about it anymore!" Miao Kun said regretfully. "If I had known that the letter on the key was the clue, I would have looked at everyone's keys …"
"Damn, are you so sure that the key is the clue?" Zhao Yu was skeptical. "It might be possible for an ordinary person, but … You were all participating in the Detective Salon, and you were all elites. Surely you would have noticed something as small as a key, right?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe someone else noticed it, but we don't have a Riddle, right? Even if someone found the letters on the key, they wouldn't know what it was for, right? "
"P-a …" Zhao Yu frowned. "Thirteen people, that's thirteen letters. Thirteen letters can form a few words, and those words indicate where Green buried the diamond? It can't be … that simple, right? "
"Oh right!" Miao Kun snapped his fingers. "Think about it. Ten years ago, someone had solved Green's puzzle and found the diamond.
"Then … how would Grimm know about it?"
"Yes …" Zhao Yu nodded. He understood what Miao Kun meant. "In that case, Green would not have written the diamond in his will.
Green passed away five days ago, which means that the diamond should still be where he hid it. As long as … As long as we can find the letters on the other people's keys, we can find the answer!
"This … This doesn't seem too difficult, right?"
"Hmph, silly boy …" Miao Kun laughed. He finally regained his composure and said seriously, "Think about it carefully. This matter is not as simple as you think.
None of the people who participated in the Detective Salon were good people. If everyone knew the rules of the game, what do you think would happen? "
"Oh …" Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then understood what Miao Kun meant. "You mean, no one would be willing to say it out loud?"
"That's for sure!" Miao Kun said. "The relationship between these people is very subtle, which is the perfect explanation for the idiom 'having ulterior motives.' Although the reward of 200 million is a lot, if it is divided equally, it would be meaningless!"
"What? Does anyone want to take it all for themselves? "Zhao Yu shook his head." Under such circumstances, they should be thinking about saving their own lives first, right? "
"I don't know if anyone would dare to take it all for themselves, but I do know …" Miao Kun said confidently. "Once the matter of the key is brought to the table, a large number of people will choose to pretend that they don't remember it. Of course, that includes me!
"If others are heartless, I will be unjust. Why should I tell them the truth?"
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu smacked his lips and gradually showed a look of worry. "That's not good, father-in-law! Think about it, if Jasmine knew about the key, what would she do? She has absolute power now, and she can force us to say it out loud one by one! "
"You're right. Fortunately, she doesn't know yet," Miao Kun said, nodding. "Otherwise, the atmosphere at lunch just now wouldn't have been so harmonious!
But, don't worry too much. You don't understand English, so you don't know. Just now, Yusuf and Sisay talked a lot of nonsense in front of Jasmine. They obviously didn't want to get to the point.
So, among us, even if someone thought about the key, they wouldn't necessarily tell Jasmine! I know this group of people too well. They're all calculating their own interests first, and they'd never do anything that would make them lose money. "
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu continued to smack his lips. "Have you forgotten about Li Bencheng? Since he was rescued by Jasmine, it's very likely that he's already on Jasmine's side! "
"Well … Indeed …" Miao Kun agreed. "Then, we can only hope that Li Bencheng doesn't figure it out first! But, I guess he'll figure it out sooner or later, since it's such an obvious clue. Maybe he's already figured it out now. "
"Yes, the same goes for everyone else. As soon as everyone opens the door with the key, they'll be like you. They'll immediately figure out that Green's clue has something to do with the key." Zhao Yu frowned. "So, we have to plan ahead!"
"Let me think …" Miao Kun took a deep breath and said, "Once everyone thinks about this, then the story of the treasure hunt will become more interesting!
Anyone would want to know as much as possible about other people's passwords, and they can't let others know their own … This … This is a psychological game!
"Green, that old man, really knows how to play. He's already dead, but he still set up such a trap for us!" Miao Kun thought for a moment, then said, "You're right, this psychological game will only get more and more exciting. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable.
