The hall was eerily quiet, and the people guarding the doorway just glanced inside, then quickly turned to stare at the people outside. None of us spoke, just stared at the fireplace in a daze, could there really be some secret here? Could this be the key point that detonates all the problems? The situation when he and Shao Yin appeared here is still vivid, and in the panic after being overly frightened, there seems to be no surprising discovery. I looked at the fireplace suspiciously, and I vaguely remember the painting of the woman with a charming smile, one hand on her cheek, the other pointing to the ground, as if she wanted to say something and stopped.

The fireplace had apparently been tried to open by countless people, and it was clean because it had been groped for so many times. I leaned over and could see through the sunlight outside, that it was a flat but blackened wall, after all, there was no need to expect some clever way to heat the building in those days. There are still traces of someone knocking on it, no need to ask, it must have been tried here to see if there is a mechanism that can open the secret room. But all of them must have failed, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people coming back to the old place.

It was only at this moment that I had a feeling of frustration, why had I never thought of going in to take a look at the people who had already seen the Chen family? Or ask them for advice on how to enter the chamber. Even the person who was arranged by Chen Jianye to be here to renovate this place, as if his name was clear, didn't know much about the secret room.

"Even if there really is some mechanism, I'm afraid those people won't let it go, right?" Qin Ming interjected slowly and methodically, "I don't think you can really find any entrance. I advise you to save your worries. It's important to get down to business first. ”

"Do you two smoke? Can you lend me a cigarette? "I pondered for a moment and asked them this question.

The two of them glanced at each other, and at the same time took out the cigarette case, Qin Ming was surprised: "What do you want this for?" You can't just use cigarettes to kill your sorrows, right? I feel...... You'd better not hit such an idea......"

I stood in front of the fireplace and lit a cigarette, but to my surprise, at the moment of ignition, the smoke that was supposed to float upwards suddenly flickered and floated a few times, and I was stunned for a moment, and sure enough. The direction in which the wind blows is underground. That's where I stood.

"It's empty underneath?" I was surprised to take a look at the approximate area with the smoke, about two meters square, which should be the entrance to the basement, otherwise there would never have been such a change. "There's no going wrong. It's true! ”

"Probably. The entrance to the basement though. I'm afraid only those who have asked the Chen family will know. Aren't you completely wasted your efforts now? Qin Ming urged me a little helplessly.

I nodded, not expecting anything surprising. This place must have been patronized by countless people for a long time, and it is not clear whether there will be experts from research institutions. At the very least, they won't let go of anything suspicious. I turned away, a little distracted, and threw my arms a little harder, but I was so hard that I hit the metal groove on the side of the fireplace. But just like that, the place that originally looked ordinary actually flashed with lightning, and then a rumbling sound was heard.

"Was there an earthquake?" I was so frightened that I stepped back and subconsciously looked at the chandelier hanging on it to confirm that my judgment was correct.

"What is the shaking of the earth? Your luck won't be so good, right? You see...... There's a little window popping up there. Qin Ming exclaimed in surprise and walked forward a few steps quickly, "This really looks like a switch, your luck won't really be so amazing, right?" I'm just saying it so casually, could it really be such a coincidence? ”

It was indeed a switch, and what made us think even more was that the place where the mechanism was turned on was really the small box that popped out. As the switch was forcefully broken, the originally flat ground began to shake slightly, and to our surprise, the sound was very soft, and it was clear that the chain that pulled the mechanism had not been used for a long time as we thought. Just in front of the fireplace, the original floor slipped silently to the side, revealing a wooden ladder that didn't seem to have accumulated much dust on it.

People have been here before, and I'm afraid someone has been here not so long ago. I was taken aback by this discovery, after all, this is a windy and sandy city compared to the south, and no matter how tightly sealed it is, the dust will take advantage of it, and unless someone has been here, there is no way to explain why it is so clean.

The people outside had obviously heard the movement here, and two or three colleagues came in to take a look, Qin Ming waved his hand at them, in addition to asking them to pay more attention to vigilance, and signaled them not to come over for the time being.

"This is probably the studio Chen Jianye mentioned, right? I remember they said that there was a studio on the ground floor and another upstairs. But the painter was mostly hidden underground, and was the studio used as a storage room? Will there be piles of gold nuggets down there? I walked over with some curiosity, and at the same time did not forget to tease a few words.

By the light of the lighter, we quickly found the switch for the electric light at the entrance, the light was still good and still working. Luckily, Leng Ao was wearing gloves all the time, so he didn't have to worry about destroying any useful clues at all.

"Here...... Are you really sure it's an art studio? Qin Ming, who was walking in the front, asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you sure this is not a laboratory?" It's the weirdest place I've ever seen. ”

At the end of the stairs, we found a crowded laboratory with all kinds of chemical instruments. Leng Ao frowned and said, "Oh my God, this is the most exaggerated place I've ever seen, if I hadn't walked in by myself, I would have thought that I had entered a laboratory in a certain university." ”

But this is really the old house of the Chen family. We glanced at it, and in addition to the neatly organized instruments, there were still some materials left in the filing cabinet closest to the side. There are some formulas written densely on it, which seem to be research on certain drugs, and even more exaggeratedly, there are some things similar to Chinese medicine piled up in a corner.

"Oh my God, I thought this was a pharmaceutical processing den? How could he still have such a hobby? Leng Ao couldn't help but ask again, and then didn't forget to sigh. (To be continued.) )
