Hattori Heiji didn't know what Shiraishi was thinking. Seeing Shiraishi hesitate, he thought he was worried that he would fall asleep halfway through the crawl, fall to death, so he decisively pushed the person aside.

He himself had no scruples, stuffed the flashlight into his pocket, grabbed the ladder and climbed up.

Shiraishi glanced at the figures of the two people leaving, thought about the height of the tower, and then thought about if Hattori Heiji was knocked down by Nishikawa Komi, or Nishikawa Komi, who was furious after being shattered in his dream...

How much credit is this?

Then I thought, there were two people crawling over it. Even if there were spider webs, they would not be able to hang on me. At most, wash my hands more...

Shiraishi took a deep breath of fresh air outside, then got in and climbed upwards.

The height of the ladder is twenty or thirty meters, reaching the spire of the top of the castle.

When you reach the end, you can see an old wooden door.

Nishikawa Yumei was ecstatic.

This kind of tall and hidden place looks like something is hidden no matter how you look at it.

She pushed open the door and ran into the small room in the tower, and shone the lightning around.

However, the room was empty and there was nothing like treasure at all.

Nishikawa's eyes finally stopped on the opposite wall.

There is a half-person-high "cabinet door" there, with exquisite decoration, and a bronze metal plate hanging on it. The sign has some words engraved on it, but there are too many rust stains, which has covered some information.

Nishikawa Yumi glanced at him and saw the keyword "Give it to" above, and immediately understood.

——The treasure must be in this cabinet!

She rushed over with joy and opened the counter door.

However, there is nothing in the "cabinet".

Because this is not a cabinet at all, but a window.

It was pitch black outside the window, extremely gloomy, and it was raining, and the scenery was depressing.

Nishikawa Yumi was stunned.

After several seconds, she gradually came to her senses and then left her anger - she was deceived, and this was not the place to hide treasures!

Ecstasy turns into rage.

Just at this moment, Hattori Heiji climbed to the top of the passage and poked his head out of the door.

He had just heard the anger of Nishikawa Yumi, and before he could see the scene in the room clearly, he was suddenly pulled up with a collar.

Nishikawa Yumi roared with her face: "Liar! Where is my treasure?"

"Who lied to you..." Hattori Heiji was confused.

After he stood firm, he pulled Nishikawa's hand away from his collar: "Since you have been coveting the treasure, you must have remembered the arrangement of chess in the yard.

"The positions of chess are usually black and white, arranged in the English letter a-h and 1-8. From the positions of the knights, looking at the white chess in the order of numbers can interpret egghead - 'Intellectuals who love to reason'.

"Didn't the gardener also say that when he introduced the portrait of the old man to us, the wife of this family often said that the old man was a 'reason-oriented intellectual', so this code actually refers to himself.

"The arrangement of the black chess is a 'g' that rotates clockwise ninety degrees, which means that the portrait painting can be rotated to the left to reveal the entrance to the treasure - so far, everything here is very consistent with the code left by the old man. In addition to this, can you think of other places that can meet these two conditions at the same time?"

"..." Nishikawa Yumi didn't understand it very much, but she felt that what he said made sense.

Especially the last sentence.

——She kept all the items of the old man who could find, trying to find clues from it, but she never succeeded.

After careful calculation, it is really the portrait below that meets the conditions most.

"Then...whether my treasure?" Nishikawa Yumi was confused.

She looked at the bricks on the surrounding walls and suddenly wondered, would there be gold bricks hidden here?

...

As soon as Bai Shi climbed to the door, he heard a jingling movement above his head.

He poked his head out in confusion and saw that Nishikawa Yumi was smashing the brick wall next to him with the stone he picked up for some reason.

Hattori Heiji stood not far from her, looking confused.

——This small room was very empty, with almost nothing, and the treasure seemed to have been taken away.

But Nishikawa's appearance is really a mess, unlike her hiding the treasure in advance and then acting here again.

Hattori Heiji looked around and his eyes fell on the open window.

He poked his head to the window, looked outside, and found that there were only ordinary eaves around him, and there were no treasure boxes hanging.

So I went back and closed the window to prevent the rain from falling in. Although there was no treasure here, there were a few old books in the corner. Too much rain came in, which could easily make the books damaged.

While Hattori Heiji threw the window on, he turned around and wanted to check those books.

For "intellectuals", they might write their own life experiences into books and leave them as treasures for future generations.

But before that, he saw Shiraishi walk into the house and pass by him.

Hattori Heiji was stunned and immediately withdrew his attention in the book and observed what Shiraishi was doing again - he temporarily formed a team with Shiraishi for a while, Hattori Heiji found that he had begun to get used to the unusual observation of this teammate.

Shiraishi stopped in front of the window that had just been closed by Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji didn't really care much about the window before. He subconsciously felt that since Nishikawa Yumi had just returned from the window and there was no rain on the floor by the window, it means that it was the window she opened herself. If there was really a problem with the window, Nishikawa Yumi would have discovered it long ago.

So at that time, he just shook the window and turned around and left.

Now that he saw Shiraishi heading straight to the window, Hattori Heiji realized that he might have missed some clues.

He walked to the window, crossed Baishi and looked at it, slightly stunned.

——This window looks very delicate compared to this too simple room. Although it is also dark, you can see the edges with gold-plated corners, like a gift that has not been opened by others in the past.

In addition, a small sign was nailed to the wooden window, which seemed to be written.

Seeing Shiraishi standing still, Hattori Heiji couldn't wait.

He took out his handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe off the excess rust spots.

The sagged fonts are gradually becoming recognizable:

[I want to give the scenery at the top of this castle to the first person to arrive here??]

"..." Hattori Heiji read the words above, looked at the last cute symbol, and twitched his forehead twice.

Judging from the years of the brand, it does seem to be used to indicate treasures.

But if the "treasure" is really just this...

Hattori Heiji glanced at Nishikawa Yumi who was still knocking bricks one by one, trying to find wealth, with a very pity.

...but the subtle feeling is a bit relieved.
