Xinghua Lane
After arriving at No.7 Weiyu Street, you use the key inside the bamboo container and successfully open the locked door.
What you find inside is an empty Western-style residence.
Vyn: From the looks of it, this place looks to be a secret residence that Boss Li prepared for himself.
Marius: Nothing out of the ordinary. People with money often arrange several houses like this for themselves to do secretive things in...
Upon hearing what he said, everyone looks toward Marius.
Marius: What? Why are you all staring at me?
After realizing why everyone is looking at him, the expression on Marius' face quickly changes.
Marius: That's them—I'm me. I don't have an interest in that kinda thing.
Marius: I'm just... sharing an objective fact.
Vyn: We were only looking at you. No need to be so dramatic, President von Hagen.
Marius: You...
Artem: President von Hagen, Interpreter Richter, now isn't the time for this.
Luke: Consultant Wing is right. We're here to help the Little Boss locate the heirloom.
Artem and Luke interrupt the "friendly exchange" between Marius and Vyn just in time.
After a few moments of silence, they all look at you again, waiting for you to speak.
You: Then, let's look around and see what we can find.
You: This newspaper... is dated three days before Uncle Li went missing.
Artem: It seems like Boss Li never came here again after that day.
Artem: Does the newspaper contain some special information?
Luke: I looked over it. Nothing stands out.
Luke: There aren't any special markings on the newspaper either.
You: It seems to be an ordinary newspaper that Uncle Li was reading.
Marius: Boss Li sure had some fancy hobbies...
Marius: These landscape paintings are pretty good.
Vyn: Aside from artistic appreciation...
Vyn: Their commercial value must be the reason why Boss Li kept them.
You: Sounds like... there's nothing special here.
You: I guess we have to look elsewhere.
You can't seem to find anything in the living room, so you continue further in together and search the bookcase.
After some time, you discover a hidden compartment in the bookcase. After opening it, you find a gorgeous wooden box with a combination lock.
Luke: It was hidden so well... The family heirloom is probably inside.
You: I'm not sure. It... could be.
Recalling the eight key pieces that Uncle Li mentioned in his letter, you can't help feeling guilty as you answer.
Fortunately, Vyn jumps in on the conversation and directs everyone's attention toward the box in front of him.
Vyn: Do you have any idea what the password might be, Little Boss?
Vyn: Boss Li must have left behind some clues for you.
You: Right, let me think...
You: (The combination is made up of four digits. If the numbers are related to something...)
You: (Could it have something to do with the arrangement of the bookcases in the study where the secret letter was discovered?)
You: (The seventh book on the second shelf of the tenth bookcase... Could it be 1027?)
You: Let's try it!
You: (A four-digit password... Could it be the number on the telegram?)
You: (It had numbers on it... and there were exactly four digits.)
As soon as you recall this, you rifle through the purse you're holding.
You: (The telegram reads 9988. Let's try this one.)
Just giving it a shot, you input the combination on the dial according to the numbers written on the telegram...
Unfortunately... the lock doesn't respond.
Vyn: Do not worry. Keep thinking.
You: All right...
Vyn: Do you have an idea, Little Boss?
You: Yeah.
Under their expectant gazes, you input the password according to the information you just recalled...
The lock automatically opens with a "click." After opening the wooden box, an exquisite piece of metal reveals itself before your eyes.
You: It really opened!
Luke: But... why... is it a model?
Marius: And it's only a small piece.
Before you can react, a dark figure breaks through the window, snatching the box out of your hands.
No one could have predicted this—it happened so suddenly that you all are frozen in place, completely shocked.
You: ???
Artem: Huh!?
Vyn: ...!
Marius: What the... Did that really just happen?
You: (Are all the live action role playing games... like this?)
Luke: What are we waiting for? Don't let him get away!
It's as if Luke's words snap everyone back to reality. The five of you rush out of the house and chase after the figure...
