If you want to catch the tail of King Qi, you naturally have to go to King Qi's mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's the same old business again.

Wearing night clothes and walking to his feet, Chu Li climbed into the Qi Palace's mansion from the wall of the back garden. Before leaving, Zhu Xiaolong drew a rather detailed map for Chu Li, and the back garden was the most lax place for the palace to guard at night.

King Qi's palace and Liu Jiliang's two dilapidated houses can be described as the difference between heaven and earth; First, the area is extremely large, and the entire palace covers an area of more than 300 acres; There are many palaces and pavilions inside, and the routes are intricate, even if you have a map, you will inevitably get lost; Second, the security is tight, and at night, there are not only groups of family members patrolling the night, but also bodyguards and martial artists on duty. In addition, some people in the rivers and lakes with unique skills were also invited to the mansion by the king of Qi in the name of the doorman, these people are much more difficult than the bodyguards of the palace, although they will not go out of the house in the middle of the night, but if they are alarmed, it is also a troublesome matter.

With such a large palace, where can I find clues to the crime?

The study, of course.

Borrow money to go to the account room, and receive the reward to go to the study. The so-called borrowing money is actually stealing; And the so-called reward is to let the master obediently pay money to gag his mouth; This is the most basic common sense when a snitch, especially when "visiting" a large family, this iron rule can be described as tried and tested. Since ancient times, the richer and more powerful people are, the more suspicious they are, the fewer people they trust, and some people don't even believe in their wives and children; For them, the house is too big and there are too many people, and they will feel that it is not safe to hide important things anywhere.

Under this premise, the study, as the only place where they can be justifiably alone, will naturally be put to good use. If there is any unsavory secret, eighty percent of it is hidden in the study. If the study can't find any clues, then the biggest possibility is that the clues have been destroyed.

Along the garden path, Chu Li touched the atrium, and after successfully avoiding two groups of night patrol families, Chu Li sneaked into King Qi's study.

To say that this Qi Wang's study, but than Liu Jiliang's humble room is too magnificent, there are not many books, the wooden frame of the whole wall, all the antique jade, in the eyes of the snitch, this is a real hard currency, Chu Li can be said to be itchy and unbearable, if it is not for the other purpose of this trip, take a few of these ornaments in front of you, it is enough to wash your hands.

However, nothing could be moved, not even footprints could be left. If the whole plan wants to be taken by surprise, the biggest premise is not to startle the snake.

Under the wooden frame, there is a huge bookcase, there are indeed a lot of letters on the corner of the bookcase, covering the four legs of the bookcase with a black cloth, Chu Lipan sat behind the bookcase and looked at the letter; There are insinuations written to a local magistrate who want to ask for a bribe but have not yet sent it, and there are those who give gifts to a certain vassal king; There are even invitations written to some people in the rivers and lakes; There are indeed sporadic corrupt and perverted elements in many letters, but none of them can be used as a threat as a lever.

Then again, if it's so easy to find the handle, it's not normal. No matter who it is, if there is anything unsightly, it will either be destroyed long ago, or it will be hidden in a safe place, who in the world will be stupid enough to write all the evidence of the extermination of the Yimen clan and put it on the desk?

"The emperor knows, what is he afraid of the emperor knowing?" Chu Li stood up and began to look for things such as secret rooms and the like in the house, until he searched all the corners of the house, and even knocked on every bluestone floor tile laid on the ground, but found nothing.

Could it be that there is no dark grid? Or did he hide something somewhere else?

Chu Li returned to the bookcase and sat on the ground, but coldly noticed this surprisingly large bookcase, from the bottom of the board, the thickness of the board seemed to be seven or eight inches, and the coffin board was not so thick.

"Dark!" Out of the snitch's instinct, Chu Li's first reaction was that there must be a mystery in this book case, if it weren't for this observation from the perspective of stealing chickens and dogs, it would be really difficult to find out.

Extinguishing the fire, Chu Li put the letters back in place, and then began to study this large bookcase, and finally found that in the corner under the bookcase, there is a very inconspicuous small hole, the hole is very small and the shape is very strange, déjà vu for a while and I can't remember where I have seen it, in the eyes of ordinary people, it looks like it is caused by insects, but in the eyes of the snitch, such a hole, Bacheng is used to insert the key.

Take out the crochet needle used to unlock the lock and insert it into the small hole and stir it gently, sure enough, there is a mystery in the crackling sound, but it does not seem to be an ordinary lock, and it is difficult to open it with conventional unlocking techniques.

Where's the key? Could it be that he was carried by the king of Qi? Tapping on the table, Chu Li made a difficulty; At present, this bookcase is made of high-grade Huanghuali, judging by the feeling of percussion, the thickness of the board is less than an inch up, and if you want to destroy it, you can't do it without a good axe, but even if you can conjure up an axe on the spot, I'm afraid that if you can't wait to smash open the bookcase, you will be caught alive by the heroes of the palace. Now that the clue is in front of you, do you want to go home empty-handed?

I tried again with a crochet needle in the keyhole, but I definitely couldn't open it. This is no ordinary lock, it must be a mechanism specially created by a skilled craftsman for this table, which can be said to be unprecedented.

In this case, I can only meet the King of Qi in person.
