TISHW 51




Chapter 51 Team building camp 11

Just when they finally regained control from the small shop owner, they heard Zhou Feifei's voice coming from the main bedroom, "Found it!"

Everyone immediately ran in and saw Zhou Feifei standing next to the bed in the middle, holding a locked diary, "I found it under the bed. There should be clues in it, but we need to find the key first."

The lock of this B5-sized notebook wasn't big, and the key was obviously not much bigger either.

The seven people began to rummage. Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen rummaged through the beds of the other two people. They found a length of rope tied with various knots on the bed by the window and two books from the bed near the back. One book about martial arts and a deck of playing cards. Not much useful information was found.

"Maybe not in the bedroom?" Ye Yuanyu guessed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Shu Hua say, "Here."

Everyone turned around and saw Shu Hua closing the bedroom door, revealing a half-meter-high glass tube standing in the corner. It contained a glistening liquid. It looked like a work of art. One could see it when they squatted down. The little key was at the bottom.

Next to the glass tube, there were big words written in big letters: "Special material, please do not destroy it, otherwise the device will explode. Bear you own consequences."

Shu Hua, who was about to violently dismantle it, put down her arms in regret, "Actually, I don't believe it will explode."

Jian Cang said, "I don't believe it either."

Xiang Chen smiled, "The director made us believe it."

Everyone laughed.

"But if it isn't destroyed, how can we take out the key?" Xiang Chen observed the glass tube. It could stand in the gap behind the door and the diameter of the glass tube was only as thick as two adult fingers.

"Find a stick to drag it out?" Ye Yuanyu turned around to find a suitable tool. It dawned on Jian Cang, "It doesn't seem right."

"Are these two pipes set together?"

Jiang Yu became curious as he spoke. She leaned over and took a look. Sure enough, she saw that there were small glass tubes inside the big glass tube. The glistening liquid was between the small glass tube and the big glass tube outside. Even if they found a thin enough bamboo strip, the key won't get dragged out.

The group frowned. Shu Hua said, "More importantly, it’s hard to put the key in, right? Since it's a diary, he probably at least writes it often. Doesn't it bother him every time to take the key and put it in?"

Jiang Yu suddenly stared at the wall at the bottom corner of the glass tube, "It seems to be extremely humid here."

Shu Hua was confused, "Where is humid?"

Jiang Yu pointed at the pile of black patches, "These are all left by mildew." 

She stretched out her hand and touched it. sure enough, it was wet.

Just as she was about to get up, a hand with distinct joints appeared in front of her eyes, holding a water glass.

Jiang Yu looked up and saw Qin Shiyu looking at her, "Do you want this?"

  "Thanks."

Jiang Yu took the water cup and poured it along the wall of the large glass tube. Soon everyone's eyes widened.

Seeing that the water did not accumulate at the bottom of the glass tube, but leaked out directly. Jian Cang lowered his head to observe, and said excitedly, "This big glass cover is a trick. There is a small crack on the inner side. and the key can be flushed out!"

Shu Hua said, "So every time he puts the key in, he only has to push it through the crack. Then flush it out with water when he takes it out. It's not troublesome at all. This design is amazing."

Jiang Yu nodded, finding it interesting.

After getting the key and opening the diary, they learned the origin of this treasure hunting group.

The owner of the diary was Wang Yi, the big man who was just bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

He, Li Er, and Zhang San were friends. When they went traveling, they accidentally discovered the treasure map of this Divine Treasure Island. So the three of them decided to go treasure hunting together.

But it didn’t take long before the three people had different opinions:

"...Li Er always felt that he discovered this treasure map, and we should all listen to him, but he didn't consider how he can find the treasure with his mind that only cares about fishing and camping?...Fortunately, I kept a trick up my sleeve and divided the treasure map into three and each person got one share. If not, who knows when he will abandon us."

"...Probably because I didn't listen to him, Li Er is a little dissatisfied. He seemed to be uniting with Zhang San. Don't know what agreement they reached and always got together to put their head together. Maybe there's key information on their treasure map? I have to eliminate this possibility... So the three of us slept in the same bedroom. No one can hide it from the other person."

……

"I can't trust them. Li Er and Zhang San happened to be clamoring to be the leader, so I suggested that the three of us hide our own treasure maps. Whoever can collect all three treasure maps will be the leader. They have no objections at all. As expected, they all have ulterior motives... Haha, they probably all think they can collect all the treasure maps. And if there is a chance, Zhang San won’t be willing to listen to Li Er, right?"

Shu Hua said, "So the three of them don't trust each other. They live together to make it easier to supervise each other."

Zhou Feifei continued reading, "...Li Er always goes fishing recently. He should have hidden the treasure map near the lake. Does the key part of his treasure map point to the lake? Wait for something to happen. Once the matter is over, I have to go look for it.”

"As for Zhang San's clues, it shouldn't be too difficult to guess. After all, how complicated can a childish person who is almost thirty years old fantasize about being a martial arts wizard be? Oh, he brought the snake back again. It's really annoying. What kind of intelligence is this? To actually think that playing with snakes is different... He said that Gemini is a two-headed snake. As a Gemini, he has strange bones. Haha, so childish. Then I, a Capricorn, am a mythical beast! A genius sent from heaven?”

Shu Hua couldn't resist but laugh, "This strong man Wang Yi doesn't seem to have matured much."

Everyone found it funny that they compared fate through zodiac signs.

"But... snakes?" Xiang Chen said, "Zhang San likes to play with snakes? Does it have anything to do with Wang Yi being bitten to death by a poisonous snake?"

Ye Yuanyu pondered, "But according to the information currently known, Zhang San died four days ago. How can a dead man kill someone with a snake?"

Xiang Chen felt that he was thinking too much, "Let's continue reading."

Zhou Feifei continued, "...So with his brain, he would probably learn from the martial arts game he played. It should be based on something as the starting point and give precise numerical coordinates. I always see him staring at the colorful flags outside. I hope he doesn’t choose red and green.”

"...Li Er finally disappeared. Zhang San is actually in a good mood. Did he get Li Er's treasure map? This can’t do! I have to think of a way… However, he will definitely not find mine, haha, they think they are so smart. They will never consider the darkness under the lamp."

"...I didn't expect Zhang San to be dead too! He was killed by a shotgun. I immediately ran out to check, but there were no traces at all in that direction. It had just rained. There should at least be footprints, but there was nothing. No, wait, there is. There was a long and thin drag mark, like a snake ran over it. It can’t be his favorite snake that killed him?! I’m really crazy to have such an outrageous idea. Treasure Guardian Spirit is all nonsense. There’s definitely none. But who killed Zhang San? Who is it? "

"...I have some clues about the treasure clues left by Zhang San, while Li Er's is a bit too difficult. The cause of Zhang San's death cannot be found at all. I decided to entrust the All Rounder Investigation Agency to come investigate and help me clear my suspicions and secondly, help me decipher the clues to Li Er’s hidden treasure clue.”

"As expected, Zhang San's treasure map is simple. I will get it soon. As long as I find Li Er's, the treasure of Divine Treasure Island will be mine!"

Zhou Feifei said, "He wrote this today. So he found Zhang San's treasure map just now."

Ye Yuanyu took the notebook and flipped through it again and found three more pieces of paper in the leather cover on the last page. All of them had been rubbed into disarray.

Apparently the three people gave clues to the treasure map they had hidden.

The first piece of paper was a mess of horizontal and vertical slashes, nothing could be made out. It said on the back: 【Using my favorite color as the origin, the first three digits of the poker puzzle as distance, and the last three digits as Password. A warm reminder, distance and direction must be accurate. I wish you good luck! 】

Jian Cang was confused, "Poker puzzle?"

Ye Yuanyu said, "There are a few on the coffee table outside."

Everyone ignored it for now, and then look at the other two clues:

One of them was almost entirely cyan, and had a rough grainy feel, like a low-pixel printed colored paper, with a straightforward message underneath: 【The treasure map is here. 】

The last one was a poem: 

【One breath connects the lake, but only a few are eternally clear. Customer-centered simultaneously surges, current affairs and tides arise. The road turns out of the green mountains, and the birds are flying in the blue sky. The strong man's dream has been in the eyes of everyone for several years. 】

Obviously, the first picture was Zhang San’s clue, the second picture was Wang Yi’s clue, and the last picture was Li Er’s clue.

Everyone picked up the clue cards and circulated among themselves. It dawned on the director , "Jiang Yu, you can't take the phone away."

Jiang Yu, who was secretly pocketing the phone:...

Everyone looked at her. Jian Cang said excitedly, "Elder Sister Yu, what did you do again?!"

【Hahaha, with Elder Sister Yu, the recording of a program is incomplete without receiving a warning from the director team. 】
