At noon, in the main hall of Grimm Castle.
Zhao Yu sat alone on the yellowed sheepskin sofa, staring blankly at the sumptuous food in front of him.
Half an hour ago, he had just been interrogated. Due to the language barrier, Lieutenant Qiang Te had allowed Miss Xi Mengna to be his interpreter.
However, Zhao Yu's confession was very simple. He had gone back to his room last night and slept until dawn. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened, and he had not discovered anything out of the ordinary.
Plus, his identity was clean, and he had nothing to do with the detective salon. So, he was the first person to walk out of the temporary interrogation room, while the others were still being interrogated.
After he came out, a waiter immediately brought him a delicious lunch, but Zhao Yu had no appetite. He knew that the reason why the others had not come out yet, other than the fact that the matter was more complicated than his, was definitely because of the diamond password.
Qiang Te looked polite, but he would definitely not miss such a good opportunity. He would definitely exert pressure on everyone and take the opportunity to force them to tell him the diamond password.
Sigh!
Zhao Yu sighed softly and looked at the system interface anxiously.
He saw that the two words "Qian Kun" were still hanging there domineeringly, without the slightest change.
There were a few times when Zhao Yu really hoped that he had seen wrongly. Although he knew that it was impossible, he still wanted to lie to himself.
Just as the hexagram had predicted, Zhao Yu also felt that the current situation seemed to be getting more and more troublesome and off track.
There was still no progress on the diamond, and Miss Molly had been mysteriously murdered. Behind these two incidents, there was probably a bigger conspiracy and danger waiting for him!
Take the diamond incident for example. Whether it was real or just a game arranged by Grimm, no one could say for sure.
But … through everyone's reaction, Zhao Yu at least understood one thing. Whether the diamond was real or fake, the key password really existed!
So, if he wanted to know the truth, he had to unravel the mystery that Grimm had left behind.
Logically speaking, unraveling the mystery should be a very simple task. All he had to do was tell everyone their own password!
But, just as Tanzhao Ichiro had said, Grimm had already predicted that these people would have ulterior motives and would not work together.
Now, although Lieutenant Qiang Te had a chance to question everyone, Zhao Yu was not optimistic. He really had to get the correct answer.
This was because if someone lied and gave a fake password, it would affect and mislead the entire clue.
Moreover, just like Yusuf, as long as he insisted that he didn't remember the password, even Lieutenant Strong wouldn't be able to do much.
What surprised Zhao Yu was that the password given by Jessica and Black Man Sisay was Arabic numerals, which was different from the English alphabet that Miao Kun had said before.
I wonder, did Jessica and Cisse lie? Or, the clue that Grimm left behind was a combination of letters and numbers.
As the letters were separated into upper and lower case, Zhao Yu was very curious about what the clue was.
Of course, regarding Miss Jasmine's murder, Zhao Yu also felt that it was very strange.
He really couldn't think of why someone would kill Miss Jasmine.
Especially the detectives who were guests at the banquet. These people were all expert detectives. Everyone knew that if the Island Master, Miss Jasmine, were to be harmed, they would definitely not be able to escape responsibility!
Even if he had enmity with Miss Jasmine, he wouldn't be so impulsive as to make a move here, right?
So, Zhao Yu thought that either Miss Jasmine wasn't killed by a detective, or the murderer had a more pressing motive for killing Miss Jasmine!
Especially when Zhao Yu found out that Miss Jasmine might have been knocked unconscious before her death, this feeling became even stronger.
Think about it, if the murderer could knock Miss Jasmine out, it meant that he could already control Miss Jasmine. But under such circumstances, he still chose to kill her. What was the reason?
On the other hand, if the murderer had decided to kill Miss Jasmine early on, why would he need to knock Miss Jasmine out? Since it was a sneak attack, why not just go up and stab her?
No, no …
There must be something fishy behind this seemingly ordinary murder case!
But …
What Zhao Yu was most worried about was not whether he could find Miss Jasmine's murderer, nor was it whether he could find the diamond. Instead, he was worried about the safety of himself and his father-in-law, Miao Kun.
After all, the Heaven and Earth Hexagram was no joke. This was the fiercest hexagram that Zhao Yu had ever gotten since he had the Miracle System!
If he didn't make a big fuss, it would be a shame for the system.
Therefore, the question that Zhao Yu was thinking about was whether or not he should leave Miracle Island earlier and escape unscathed before something big happened.
And if he chose to leave, what method could he use?
Of course, it would be easy for him. He just needed to quietly use an invisibility cloak and an aircraft to leave Miracle Island without anyone knowing.
But … how should he deal with his father-in-law?
Of course, if he gave his father-in-law some Invisible Sleeping Pills and flew with him, he might be able to fly.
At the very least, he could use an Invisible Breathing Device and swim out of Fiji …
However, although it was easy to leave Miracle Island, it would not be so easy to leave Fiji, right? After all, Miss Jasmine belonged to the British Empire's Intelligence Department. Zhao Yu and Miao Kun would probably be discovered as soon as they arrived at the airport.
Fiji was an island country with a vast sea, so it was even more impossible for him to use an aircraft to fly out …
And, there was a more important point.
Once Zhao Yu and Miao Kun escaped, wouldn't it look like they had a guilty conscience? People would definitely think that the two of them were the murderers!
The British Intelligence Department was not to be trifled with. If they came up with a diplomatic agreement or issued an international kill order, Zhao Yu would never be able to make a name for himself in the world again!
In that case, they would be helping the real culprit get away with it.
Tsk tsk …
Considering all these factors, Zhao Yu finally decided that he would not easily choose to escape unless it was absolutely necessary!
It seemed that he could only take it one step at a time and observe the situation first.
Of course, solving cases was his specialty after all. If he could solve the case and find the real murderer, wouldn't that be a good choice?
Click …
Just as Zhao Yu was thinking seriously, the door of a hut next to him opened, and Sisay, the black man, came out.
"Sir, I'm not bragging!" Sisay said excitedly. "I didn't learn hypnosis from David Copperfield. Tell your boss to let me hypnotize these people!
I promise I can get their passwords … "
"Okay, I'll report it truthfully!" The police officer who was with Sisay nodded in agreement, then quickly left to make his report.
"Hey … You came out pretty fast!" Sisay was probably hungry. When he saw the sumptuous lunch in front of Zhao Yu, he picked up a plate of salad and started eating on his own.
However, he had only eaten a few mouthfuls when he saw Lieutenant Qiang Te suddenly walking out from the depths of the hall.
Seeing Lieutenant Qiang Te's energetic appearance, Sisay stood up proudly and said to him, "Don't thank me, don't thank me. I also hope that your mission will be completed as soon as possible … Mm …"
Sisay then realized that Lieutenant Qiang Te was not paying attention to him at all. Instead, he was walking straight to the castle gate.
He was walking in a hurry, and his expression was very serious.
Oh …
Sisay put down his food awkwardly. Only then did he notice the strange noise at the gate, because both of them could hear the sound of a propeller approaching.
"Someone is coming, and it's a helicopter …" Sisay was curious, so he turned to Zhao Yu and asked, "Bro, why don't we follow and take a look? Oh … "Seeing Zhao Yu's blank face, he said bitterly," I forgot that you don't understand English!
"Alright … I'll go by myself. You can do whatever you want …"
Then, Sisay turned around again, wanting to see what was going on outside.
