Wei Yunxuan said to the two guards beside him, "You two take candles, go down and have a look." ”

After receiving the order, the two guards took a lit candle in their hands, ran in through the opening at the end of the bed, came to the entrance of the cave, and pulled the rope, just thinking about going down.

Han Xuening suddenly thought that this rope device was going to pull the big box containing the golden boy in, and there would definitely be a tray underneath, so Han Xuening asked the two of them not to go down first, she called Xiao Dong over, and pulled the exposed rope and slowly pulled the rope.

After Xiao Dong pulled the rope, he slowly pulled the rope, and after roughly pulling out the rope for more than ten meters, a large platform really rose.

The platform is two meters square, and the bottom is very thick, and it looks like it should be made of characteristic steel.

Han Xuening asked the two guards to stand on the big steel platform, and after the two of them stood up, Xiao Dong began to slowly put the rope.

Soon, all the ropes that were pulled up were put down, and the two guards also stood on the big platform and went down for more than ten meters.

Han Xuening said to Wei Yunxuan: "Lord Wang! After these two guards go down, there will be no danger, right? ”

Wei Yunxuan said with a smile: "These two guards have been following me before, and they are usually experienced in investigating some cases, so it's good for them to go down and have a look first." ”

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Wei Yunxuan called another guard to shout a few times at the entrance of the cave, meaning that if the people below stood on the platform, they would pull the rope, and the ones above would know it, and they would start pulling the rope and pull them up.

After the people above waited for more than a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of the rope being pulled.

Han Xuening asked the guard and Xiao Dong to pull the rope up together.

Then, Xiao Dong and the guard slowly pulled the rope up, and after pulling the platform up, the two guards slowly walked out.

Wei Yunxuan asked the two, "What did you find down there?" ”

One of the guards said: "Tell the prince, there is a secret passage below, and after the platform descends vertically for about ten meters, it will reach the bottom of the secret passage." The two of us walked a little way in the secret passage below, and the direction of the secret passage was all the way to the west, and the passage in the middle was very large. Enough for a few people to go together. ”

Then, after the two talked about some more information, Han Xue thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Zhou Lusheng's family all went down from here?" ”

Hua Zi said: "It is very likely that Master Zhou's family escaped from the secret passage here. ”

Xiao Dong suddenly asked: "If all the people go down from here, then after all the people go down, the entrance to the secret passage must be closed, and the mechanism for opening and closing the secret passage must be designed in the secret passage to do so." ”

"That's right! There should still be a mechanism underneath the secret passage. Han Xuening also agreed with Xiao Dong's words.

Then, Wei Yunxuan asked a guard to look near the entrance of the secret passage, and after searching for a while, he found the mechanism that closed the secret passage.

In this way, it can explain the reason why people can smoothly restore the outside to their original state after entering the secret passage.

Wei Yunxuan said to everyone: "We already know the secret passage here, don't go down yet, restore the secret passage to its original state, and see if anyone will come out of this secret passage at night." ”

Everyone thought Wei Yunxuan's suggestion was very good, but Hua Zi asked suspiciously, "Lord Wang!" So how can we prove that someone will come out of this secret passage at night? ”

Wei Yunxuan said: "That's very simple, you'll know in a while." ”

Everyone was very puzzled, what method did Wei Yunxuan use to know, whether anyone came out of the secret passage?

After closing the secret passages, Wei Yunxuan took out a red sealing wax from his hand and burned the sealing wax with a lit candle, and after the sealing wax was melted, Wei Yunxuan dripped two triangle patterns on each of the two splices on the floor.

After dripping, Wei Yunxuan said to everyone: "This is a wax seal, which is specially sealed for important letters and secret letters. As long as someone has opened it, the sealing wax will break and will never return to its original state. Therefore, as soon as someone comes out of this secret passage at night, the sealing wax will break. We know that someone has come out of here. ”

After Wei Yunxuan finished speaking, he asked the guards to restore the outside to its original state.

Now, everyone knows that Wei Yunxuan's method is really good.

Then, everyone left Zhou Lusheng's room one after another, and Wei Yunxuan asked the guards to sprinkle a thin layer of white powder in the room.

Wei Yunxuan said to everyone: "As long as someone walks around this room at night, they will leave footprints and other traces on the ground. ”

After closing the door of Zhou Lusheng's room, everyone went out of the house.

After leaving Zhou Lusheng's house, he returned to the inn.

The group drank tea at the bottom of the inn while waiting for Mr. Wen and the others to come back.

In the evening, when it was close to five o'clock, Mr. Wen, Wu Tong, Bai Zijun, and Liang Fei also returned.

After dinner, the group discussed the progress of today's events in the room.

Mr. Wen said to everyone: "Today, the Wutong brothers and I learned some information about the two shops, and then entered the store, pretending to be customers of big business. Later, after the boss came out, we cooperated with the boss on a business. After the boss left the shop, I sent a few secret guards to follow the boss. In this way, we can know where these two bosses live, and once the guards track the boss to where he lives, we will go to the boss's house overnight to ask about Boss Zhao or they are being threatened. ”

Han Xuening said: "Mr. Wen is right, those two shopkeepers are fine now, we have to get the news of Hua Daqing and the last black hand from them as soon as possible." In this way, for them, without the secrets of those behind them, it becomes safe. ”

Wei Yunxuan said: "Okay! Let's wait for news from the guards, and once we have determined where the two of us live, we will immediately set off to visit the shopkeeper's house. ”

About half an hour later, a guard came to report, Mr. Wen walked out, and a few minutes later, Mr. Wen walked in again and muttered a few words in Wei Yunxuan's ear.

Wei Yunxuan said to everyone: "The guards who followed just now have news and already know where the two shopkeepers live. Han Xuening, Hua Zijian, Wu Tong, Ma Kuo, a few of you follow me and Mr. Wen to the shopkeeper's house, and the rest of you stay in the inn to rest early. ”

Wei Yunxuan didn't call Huazi, and Huazi also wanted to go, "Lord Wang!" I'm bored alone in the inn, so I'll go with you. ”

"Good! You can just follow Miss Xue Ning for a while. Let's go now. ”

Wei Yunxuan and the others walked out of the room, went downstairs, and walked towards the residence of the two shopkeepers under the leadership of the guards.

The residences of the two shopkeepers are in the east of the town, relatively close to the previous boss Zhao's house.

The group came to the outside of the yard of a shopkeeper, whose yard was not very large, twice as small as the yard of the owner's house. The room was also a lot less.

It can be seen that this shopkeeper is not a particularly rich person.

Wei Yunxuan said to Hua Zijian: "Zijian! Go knock on the door! ”
