Of course, there was another main reason why Zhao Yu judged the crocodile was fake so quickly, and that was the invisible detector in his brain.
As soon as he arrived at the crocodile pool, the detector immediately showed that the crocodile was equipped with an electronic remote control device.
Therefore, Zhao Yu could judge with such certainty that the crocodiles were all fake.
"My dad is absolutely right..." Simona said, riding on Zhao Yu's neck, "Green is really weird! Who would have thought that he would set up a maze and crocodile pool to prevent us from taking the usual path? It’s so cunning…”
"Actually..." Zhao Yu smiled slightly, "I understand somewhat! Green's meaning may be telling us that detective reasoning in reality cannot completely rely on books and experience.
“Sometimes, you need to go off the beaten path and make some bold attempts.
"Take the maze and crocodile pool as an example. Sometimes it is more effective to go straight in than to think hard..."
"Well said," Simona admired, "This is an old saying my dad used to say, you can't 'accept death'!
"Oh, I thought that I could be famous in the detective salon with my own skills, but I didn't expect..." Simona couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "I couldn't even pass the first level. I'm really ashamed!
"Thankfully I met you, the Chinese detective, today, otherwise, I would be really embarrassed!"
"Wow, you speak Chinese old-fashioned words better than me!" Zhao Yu joked, "You don't have to thank me too much. If I go to the United States in the future, just remember to entertain me!"
"Haha... definitely!" Simona smiled happily, and the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer.
The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked straight through the crocodile pond and came to the other side.
After the two climbed out of the pool and climbed over the railing, a delicate small garden appeared in front of them.
Not long after walking further along the garden, they saw a wall made of huge rocks standing in front of them, blocking the way.
On the stone walls, there are some ancient murals painted with strange patterns such as totems.
"Well..." Simona pointed to a stone door under the wall and said, "This should be the exit, right?"
With that said, the two stepped forward and pushed hard, but the stone door did not move at all.
"Look..." Simona pointed to somewhere near the door and said, "There seems to be some mechanism here..."
Zhao Yu stepped forward to check, and sure enough he saw that many of the reliefs next to the stone gate could be rotated.
"It seems..." Simona carefully inspected the mechanisms, "There should be a puzzle hidden here. Only by uncovering the puzzle can we open the stone door!"
As she spoke, she took a few steps back, looked at the front wall, and said thoughtfully: "I think... the mystery should be in these murals. These should be the paintings and totems of Pacific indigenous people. We need to analyze them carefully. … Um… "
Simona was thinking actively, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Zhao Yu lying on the stone door, knocking on something.
"Well... Zhao Yu... what did you find out again?" Simona was very curious and asked hurriedly.
"Miss Detective, have you heard of the story 'Open Sesame'?" Zhao Yu touched the stone door and said meaningfully.
"What, Open Sesame?" Simona thought seriously, "Isn't that a story from One Thousand and One Nights?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu smiled slightly, "Miss Detective, all you need to do now is to shout "open sesame" and the door will open naturally!"
"Oh? No way..." Although Simona felt incredible, she still whispered those four words, "Open sesame!"
"Please, Miss, speak louder, the gods can't hear you!" Zhao Yu reminded with a smile.
"Okay, cough..." Simona cleared her throat, raised her voice and shouted, "Open the door!"
"YES!" Zhao Yu smiled evilly and blinked, then raised his right foot and kicked the stone door violently.
"Huh?" Simona's eyes widened in fright, "Don't..."
In Simona's opinion, it was a stone gate, and Zhao Yu would definitely break his leg if he stepped on it.
However, the time to witness the miracle came. Not only did Zhao Yu's leg not break when he kicked it, but the seemingly solid stone door was kicked open by Zhao Yu!
Moreover, the stone door was not only kicked open, but also made a cracking sound like wood splitting.
Simona took a closer look and finally realized that the stone door was also made of wood.
"Hahaha," Zhao Yu laughed, "It seems that this old Mr. Green is also a guy who likes violence!"
"This..." Simona ran over and took a look. It turned out that the stone door was coated with a thick layer of stone powder, which was disguised as stone, but the inside was all wood.
Zhao Yu followed up with two kicks and kicked the stone door open completely.
"It's amazing, I really didn't expect it!" Simona looked at the wall and shook her head and sighed, "The murals on the wall, as well as the rotating reliefs, are all used to confuse people..."
As she spoke, Simona's eyes towards Zhao Yu changed dramatically again, and her admiration turned into admiration.
In fact, Zhao Yu was not sure just now. He was just eager to pass the test, so he used a clairvoyant to check the stone gate, and then he saw through the mystery of the stone gate.
"Oh oh oh... Congratulations..." The next second, a burst of applause and someone's congratulations in English suddenly came from behind the stone door.
After Simona and Zhao Yu heard this, they hurriedly got through the broken stone door.
Behind the stone gate, you can see the gray-black castle standing in the distance.
"Congratulations, congratulations to both of you..." At this time, a white woman who looked like a housekeeper came to the two of them with a plate. What was on the plate was nothing but mineral water.
Zhao Yu and Simona were thirsty for a long time, so they quickly opened a bottle each and started drinking.
"You are indeed a new guest. You have passed the three levels of Miracle Island so quickly. Congratulations..." The housekeeper smiled and congratulated while taking out two sparkling gold coins and handed them to the two of them, "This This is a reward from the master for you two, please accept it."
"Thank you..." Regardless of the process, Simona felt very happy and happily accepted the reward.
However, Zhao Yu felt that the boss was unhappy in his heart. He didn't care about the gold coin at first, but then he thought, since Green has such a personality, maybe this gold coin also contains some mystery.
So, he finally kept his temper, took the gold coin, and put it in his pocket.
"Okay," seeing that the task was completed, the housekeeper hurriedly pointed to the huge castle behind and said to the two of them, "Two distinguished guests, please come with me! Everyone has arrived, and the banquet is about to begin!"
PS: Thanks for the reward and encouragement from I Love Sheep!
