Chapter 18: Night Detective
Flag Mountain at the beginning of the lanterns.
On the outskirts of the city, although it is a small hill, it is home to some of the city's wealthiest residents, and one after another breathtaking villas and western-style buildings stretch along the mountain, decorating the entire hill with magnificence, definitely comparable to Tokyo's Ginza and Seoul's JN district.
Yang Zhen once again stared deeply at the mansion in front of him, and then turned his head: "Are you sure...... Do you want to do that?"
This is Lin Lan's home.
"Of course," Shu Xiaoman stared at the mansion in front of him with burning eyes, "It's all here, and there is no choice to retreat." You get out of the way......"
She said reflexively, revealing a huge suitcase one person tall behind her, Shu Xiaoman pulled the zipper open, and then took out a huge hammer from it.
The corners of Yang Zhen's eyes twitched:
"Let's break into a private house, can we keep a low profile?"
"What are you afraid of!" Shu Xiaoman squinted at him with the same eyes as Xiao Bai, "This is not an ordinary hammer, it is blessed by spells." Hit anything with it and it won't make a sound. β
"But ......" Yang Zhen pointed to the side of the mansion, "Isn't that a door?"
Shu Xiaoman looked at him as if he was an idiot: "We are sneaking in to investigate, do you still want to ask the master to open the door for us?"
"But ......"
"Don't be verbose~ Get out of the way!"
β...... Oh. β
Yang Zhen had no choice but to step aside, and the girl picked up a huge hammer and slammed it against the wall.
Sure enough, there was no sound.
But there was no movement on the walls.
"It looks pretty sturdy~"
Shu Xiaoman spat into the palm of his hand and picked up the giant hammer for the second time......
"Phew!"
There was no movement.
The third time!
"Phew!"
There was no movement.
Fourth!
For the fifth time!
......
The huge hammer fell on the wall one by one, and each blow was full of strength, although it didn't make any sound, but that kind of posture could be felt just by looking at it, not to mention a wall, I was afraid that a mountain in front of me would be smashed, but the wall did not react, still with a cold face, as if laughing at the girl's efforts.
"Do you think I'll admit defeat like this?" Shu Xiaoman wiped his sweat, panting and gritting his teeth, "If you can't smash it like this, it only means that you definitely have a problem!
Another hammer!
"I'm ~!"
One more hammer!
......
After ten hammers, the girl almost collapsed, so tired that she held on to the handle of the hammer and stared at the wall and couldn't stop panting: "Grandma and grandma got into a fight with you today......!
The word "hh" didn't have time to come out this time, and the hammer held high didn't fall, Shu Xiaoman suddenly noticed that someone behind her was stabbing her with a finger.
She turned around, and it turned out to be Yang Zhen.
"Eh~"
"What are you doing!"
"Don't smash it, let's go inside. β
Yang Zhen pointed to the iron door of the mansion that had been opened.
Shu Xiaoman was petrified in an instant, and glared at him viciously for a while:
"Why didn't you say it earlier if you could pick the lock!"
Yang Zhen looked innocent: "What I want to say, you don't give me a chance, and you still call me less verbose......"
As a young soldier king, it is common to unlock or something, not to mention a residential lock, he opened the Swiss bank safe in order to investigate the case.
So just now Yang Zhenla just wanted to talk to her about this, but ......
"Shut up!" Shu Xiaoman glared at him hatefully, dropped the hammer, and walked in first.

Huge pillars of light fell from the ceiling and shone onto the shiny wooden floor, casting a shimmer on the crimson basketball.
The ball was in Zhang Jiahao's hands, he squatted, jumped, and stretched, and the basketball drew a graceful parabola in the air and fell into the basket.
Zhang Jiahao landed on the ground, fell into the "middle circle", stretched out his hand to grasp, and the basketball that was in free fall suddenly changed the direction of inertia, and flew directly back into his hands as if he had life. Zhang Jiahao jumped again, stretched his body, and threw ...... Again, a perfect parabola draws out of the middle circle, flies into the basket, and repeats.
Zhang Jiahao kept repeating the mechanical movement, he had been here for half an hour, throwing the 998th ball of the day, but there was no sound, because in these 998 throws, there was never a time when the ball touched the rebound, nor once did the ball touch the basket, not even the ground, the basketball in his hand was like drawing a circle in the air.
It's not playing ball at all, it's acrobatics, and the cool value is more than Jordan's big block.
If you were at school, there would have been girls who would have been stunned by this scene and screamed with starry eyes, but this was at home, no one would cheer him on, and he didn't have to be cool, he just didn't want to disturb others.
The servants of the mansion should have already slept, but Zhang Jiahao couldn't sleep yet. He's going to have to waitβtonight is the deadline, and he's waiting for a reply.
When Zhang Jiahao threw the 999th ball, the door of the basketball court was opened, and an old man in a kimono appeared on the court. Zhang Jiahao didn't look at him, he knew who was coming, he set up a defensive spell at the door, which could burn anything that opened the door to ashes, and there was only one person who could come in silently but not trigger the spell.
"Mr. Ouchi," he reached out and grabbed the basketball back into his hand, "got news?"
The old man bowed slightly, performed the ancient Japanese bow, and then took out a neatly folded envelope from his bosom:
"This is a letter to you. β
"Read it. β
Zhang Jiahao crouched again, preparing for his 1,000th shot.
The content of the letter was short, and the old man read it in less than 3 seconds. At the moment of reading, Zhang Jiahao also threw his 1,000th ball.
The ball smashed on the rebound, and the rebound made a loud cracking noise, and then slowly fell down.
The basketball fell to the ground, Zhang Jiahao stood in the middle circle, he didn't try to pick up the ball, his face was hidden in the backlight, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly, and the air was so heavy that it almost froze.
After a while, Zhang Jiahao looked at the old man again, his eyes like electricity:
"Prepare the car. β

The walkway extends at the foot, and the mansion of Lin Lan's family is noble and elegant, but it is a pity that the walkway that extends in all directions is almost built with corridors and dark passages, making it look like a labyrinth.
The two of them continued to explore the dark mansion one after the other, trying not to make any sound, allowing the dark corridors to continue to stretch and the dead air to stimulate their nerves......
After walking like this for a long time, suddenly there seemed to be some faint movement in the room at the end of the corridor!
Shu Xiaoman suddenly showed a solemn expression, in Feng Shui, the room at the end of the corridor is a place of extreme yin, and it will raise terrible things. When she looked back, Yang Zhen also looked solemn, obviously he heard it too.
"I inquired, Lin Lan's parents have gone abroad, and she is alone at home. Shu Xiaoman said in a suppressed voice.
It seems that Lin Lan is here.
The two of them cautiously touched in, there was no light in the room, there were ghosts in the dark shadows, and only the bathroom on one side was slightly lit. There was a faint commotion.
"She's in there!" Shu Xiaoman lowered his voice.
The bathroom door was locked, but fortunately there was a vent above, and the girl stood on tiptoe to look in, but the vent was too high for her to reach, so she probed for a long time, and finally gave up and shrank back.
"You go up and have a look. She said to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was shocked!
This......
Although it's said that lucky perverts or something...... It's the cute attribute of the king of soldiers, but the key to the lucky pervert is the word "lucky", if you look at it deliberately, it's a crime!
"Don't go. β
Firmly.
Shu Xiaoman glared at him: "You still care about this at this time?
"It's not decided yet. β
"She's a ghost!"
"That's a female ghost too. β
"You ......"
Shu Xiaoman choked so hard that he said after a while: "Then you ask me to go up." β
Yang Zhen looked left and right and moved a chair for her. Shu Xiaoman didn't care, he stepped on it directly, and suddenly reached out to pull Yang Zhen after a while:
"Eh~ look, look. β
β...... Don't look. Yang Zhen replied firmly, resolutely and resolutely.
Don't mention anything about "Voyeur Not Guilty"!
That's a tertiary film!
And don't mention anything eighteen-year-old!
I'm a high school student!
Shu Xiaoman turned back inexplicably: "Why?"
Yang Zhen: "Spicy eyes." β
"You ......" Shu Xiaoman gave him a roll of his eyes, "It's not taking a bath!"
Not a bath?
This time, Yang Zhen was also stunned.
It's not a bath, what's the matter with the gurgling water?
Yang Zhen suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he quickly got up and approached the vent.
