Chapter 036: Who's Locked Up?
After successfully entering the study, Liu Xuanmiao remembered that they only knew that the secret room was behind the bookshelf, but they forgot to ask Li Dekai where the mechanism was.
Just when Liu Xuanmiao was a little annoyed, she found that He Ge had a clear purpose and went straight to the desk.
There wasn't much on the desk, except for a pen holder and a stack of white paper.
Just when Liu Xuanmiao wondered why He Ge went straight to the desk, she saw He Ge turn the pen holder with many pens.
As the pen holder turned, the bookshelves, which had been tightly connected to each other, parted in the middle, revealing a passage through which only one person passed.
Seeing this, Liu Xuanmiao's whole person was also dumbfounded, "How did you know that the pen holder was a mechanism?" ”
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge glanced up at her before he spoke, "I have a mechanism like this in my house. ”
He Ge's words surprised Liu Xuanmiao, and after a while, Liu Xuanmiao tentatively said, "Your family's conditions should be quite good!" ”
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge replied to her without replying, "It's okay!" ”
Although Liu Xuanmiao usually does not hate the rich, when He Ge said such a thing lightly, Liu Xuanmiao was still envious, jealous and hateful.
Considering that the secret room behind the bookshelf was dark and rumbling, before entering, Liu Xuanmiao specially found a candle to illuminate it.
After lighting the candles, Liu Xuanmiao entered the secret room one after the other with He Ge.
In fact, long before entering that secret room, Liu Xuanmiao, who had a more sensitive nose, smelled the smell of blood coming from inside.
Although she had been prepared before entering, when she really saw the situation in the secret room, Liu Xuanmiao was still taken aback.
Li Dekai They are really not exaggerating, the four walls of the secret room are all dried up blood, and none of the walls can be spared, in addition, Liu Xuanmiao also found machetes and cutting boards with blood stains on the ground of the secret room.
"Is this the site of the dismemberment?"
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge, who had finished looking at the surrounding situation, said, "No accident, it should be." ”
Seeing Liu Xuanmiao's frightened look, He Ge said, "Since you are so scared, you don't want to go in with me in the secret room inside." ”
Hearing He Ge say this, Liu Xuanmiao shook her head, "No, I want to go in with you, after all, I have to face these things sooner or later." ”
Liu Xuanmiao's words made He Ge a little surprised, "It's okay to go in with me, but you have to promise me that no matter what you see inside, you can't call out?" ”
Seeing He Ge say this, Liu Xuanmiao patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry! I promise not. ”
After inspecting the secret room outside, Liu Xuanmiao followed He Ge into the secret room inside.
I have to say that the secret room inside is at least twice the size of the secret room outside, and of course, what is most unexpected by Liu Xuanmiao and He Ge is that the secret room inside has nothing but a bed and a table.
Seeing this, Liu Xuanmiao was a little puzzled, "Why is there only a bed and a table in this secret room, could it be that there were actually people locked up in this before?" ”
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge did not answer her immediately, but began to search the bed and table.
Soon they made a discovery, and under the quilt, they found a girl's nightdress.
From the size of the nightdress, it can be known that its owner should be a relatively thin person.
"It used to be a girl here, but why are they putting a girl here?"
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge said, "It's not clear yet, but it's very likely to be related to the fake duke." ”
Seeing He Ge say this, Liu Xuanmiao thought for a while and then said, "You mean that the person who was locked up here before may be a fake duke?" ”
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
He Ge's words made Liu Xuanmiao a little puzzled, "Then why does the real duke want to lock up the fake duke?" ”
Seeing Liu Xuanmiao asking, He Ge said, "I don't know, okay, is there anything else to see?" If not, let's get out! ”
Hearing He Ge say this, Liu Xuanmiao hurriedly said, "No." ”
When they came, Liu Xuanmiao and He Ge had good luck, and they didn't meet anyone along the way, but when they went back, the luck of the two of them was not so good.
They had just turned the pen holder to close the bookshelf when they heard the sound of people moving in the hallway.
Seeing this, the two of them immediately hid under the desk after looking around.
Basically, two people have just hidden their front feet, and someone comes in with their back feet.
Faced with this situation, Liu Xuanmiao's goosebumps rose all over her body, but fortunately, the maid who came in just took a book on the bookshelf and left.
After the maid left, Liu Xuanmiao and He Ge came out from under the table.
I wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, but I didn't expect He Ge to stare at the bookshelf and not leave.
Seeing this, Liu Xuanmiao asked with some doubts, "Is there anything wrong with the books on this shelf?" ”
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge said, "Have you found out?" Almost half of the books on this shelf are all about magic. ”
Seeing He Ge say this, Liu Xuanmiao subconsciously looked towards the bookshelf, and then found that the truth was indeed as He Ge said.
"You mean the Duke is actually magical?"
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge said, "It's hard to say whether the duke will have magic or not, but one thing is certain, magic exists in this world, otherwise these books would not exist in the duke's bookshelf." ”
He Ge's words made Liu Xuanmiao fall into deep thought, she thought for a moment before she spoke, "If that's the case, then it makes sense that living people turn into chicken nuggets or fries, after all, this is a magical world, but these books want to tell us that there should be more than that!" ”
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge said, "If everyone except us sees that the duke is no different from the previous duke, then it means that this fake duke must have some method, so people can't find out that she is actually an impostor, then this method is not as good as an accident, it should be magic." ”
Seeing He Ge say this, Liu Xuanmiao thought for a moment before saying, "If things are really as you said, then it means that if we want to expose her true face in front of everyone, we must also use magic, but the problem is that we can't do it!" ”
Hearing Liu Xuanmiao say this, He Ge said, "No, it doesn't necessarily take magic to debunk the identity of a fake duke. ”
