“Next, as long as we find the items required by the guests of summer and autumn, we should be able to pass.” Shen Mo said, “However, since the teddy bear’s bow tie required us to draw and sew ourselves, the second round treasure won’t probably be easy.”
Yan Qingwen nodded, “That’s what I think. At present, that ship matches the characteristics of the treasure. But the so-called treasure is not necessarily restricted to gold and silver jewels.”
Shen Mo thought for a while and said, “There’s still time. After meeting the summer’s guest, maybe we will get some hints.”
Yan Qingwen walked up the stairs. “I’ll call them down.”
Shen Mo slightly nodded, grabbed the wheelchair handle, and pushed Bai Youwei back to the living room.
Bai Youwei casually placed the bunny back to where it should be charged and continued charging it.
“What do you think the treasure could be?” Shen Mo asked.
Bai Youwei gently shook her head. “The hint given by the nursery rhyme is very limited. Before seeing the guest, anything is possible.”
She asked Shen Mo, “Have you guys found anything suspicious after ransacking this house?”
Shen Mo: “If it’s about the treasure, probably, the ship model found by Tan Xiao and Li Li.”
The difficulty of the game should be increasing, not decreasing. Since the first round toy bear required the player to refine manually, how simple could the second round be?
She turned her head and glanced at the inspector in the distance.
The Crystal Ball seemed to be bothered by her previous act of evasion, humph, it turned it’s back and presented its music box’s gear lever towards her.
Bai Youwei nonchalantly withdrew her gaze.
At this point, companions from upstairs were coming down in succession. Besides Su Man, she stayed upstairs to take care of Li Li.
Eight people sat in the living room, discussing what should be done next.
“The second part of the nursery rhyme goes, ‘In summer, the rain is so heavy in the pitch dark that the treasure is nowhere to be seen.’ Yan Qingwen looked at everyone, “Anyone has any ideas, you can share.”
Tan Xiao looked left and right, “Isn’t the treasure we found with Li Li the ship?”
Lun Ang picked a toothpick and held it in his mouth to relieve some of his craving for nicotine, and vaguely asked, “How sure are we about the ship?”
Yan Qingwen thought for a while and said, “Thirty percent.”
Tan Xiao bulged his eyes in surprise, “Thirty percent?! That’s so low!”
He didn’t believe it and turned to Bai Youwei for confirmation, “Weiwei! He says it’s only thirty percent!”
Bai Youwei lazily looked at him, “If you ask me .only ten percent.”
Shen Mo: “Considering our current understanding of the doll game, the game’s difficulty should be increasing, not decreasing. We haven’t got sufficient reason to believe that it’s the ship. Since there are less than four hours from the arrival of summer, I suggest we start a new round of search. Not looking for the treasure this time, but observing every detail in this house, making note of all suspicious points, and then reasoning with all the clues after the summer guest arrives.”
Yan Qingwen nodded and said, “There’s a study and three bedrooms upstairs. We can assign four persons to search, and three persons downstairs. After finishing their own assigned areas, they can start swapping for further search. Su Man will stay in the attic to look after Li Li. She will be responsible for the attic area.”
He paused for two seconds and looked at Pan Xiaoxin, “Also, Xiaoxin, in addition to searching your own assigned area, you should also check the stairway and hallway areas. You’re younger and might notice things we could overlook. Can you do that?”
Pan Xiaoxin nodded with a grave expression on his little face.
“Get one more person out.” Bai Youwei said, “So far we have been only looking inside the house. The exterior eaves, window sills, and roofs should also be within this house area.”
Yan Qingwen slightly nodded, scanning others with his eyes.
Choosing the person was a problem.
The outside of the house is more dangerous than inside. He thinks Shen Mo is the best choice, but Bai Youwei might not agree Although they haven’t known each other for long, he can see Bai Youwei is very attached to Shen Mo.
