Liu Qiaopu followed the housekeeper with a lot of effort to see the ruins of the side house, it turned out that it was said to be behind the main house, but it was not directly behind. Rather, on a relatively low cliff,

In other words, the entire cliff that houses the treacherous house is not straight, and the main house is located on the same foundation level as the restaurants and restaurants in front of it. The side houses are closer to the towering cliffs, and the foundations are much lower. Therefore, after it burns down, it will not be visible from the flyover.

In fact, the partial house is not as imagined, all of which are broken bricks and tiles scattered on the ground. The shape of the house is still preserved. The roof is long gone, and only the lowest layer of the wall remains.

The windows and walls were mottled and the glass was barely intact, all hanging from the window frames one by one, stained with black dust that could fall at any time.

The window frames are very old, still made of the same field-shaped iron as before, and the surface is all rusted reddish-brown. One or two open windows were still attached to the walls, and more had been tilted down, hanging just a little and dangling there.

The floor of the house was a mess, all of which were littered with tiny debris. Large pieces of charred furniture have probably been thrown away, and the whole space looks empty.

Walking through the doorless door frame, there were two double windows on the left hand wall, and in the middle it looked like an oil painting, and something like a curtain was burned and rolled up, and fell limply on the floor.

There was only one double window directly in front of it, one side of the window frame was open, and the other side was completely down, leaning under the window. In front of the double window, a large, blackened wooden cabinet leaned against a large piece of mat that I didn't know what it was for, and the mat was already the color of charcoal.

The left side of the room was blank, with nothing but debris on the floor.

"Whose room was this supposed to be?" Yanagihashi asked as he looked around.

The housekeeper stood at the door and said, "This is the study of the side house, and the one next to him that was completely burned down is the room used by the former owner, Mr. An Ze, for a nap. ”

"Oh, so the basement you're talking about is here." Yanagihashi walked in as he spoke, his snow boots creaking on the ruins. "But I don't see the entrance to the basement in this room!"

The housekeeper also walked in at this time, and he said, "I don't know the specifics, but I've heard the hostess talk about it before." This kind of weird place, of course, we can't come to it if there's nothing to do. ”

"Then why do you think it's possible for the hostess to leave a clue here?"

"For I have seen that the mistress would occasionally let the Terrible bring her here to see it, and she would not tell me such things. It was here that her father, Mr. Anze, died. So I think she may have always had a special affection for this place! ”

"Then let's take a closer look, where is the entrance to the basement?"

After speaking, Yanagihashi Pu rolled up the sleeves of his hands, picked up a piece of wood from the ground and began to stir through the scattered ruins. Inch by inch, he ripped open the ruins and tapped the floor below with a plank, very seriously.

The butler didn't know what to do, so he could only stand aside and watch. Throughout, apart from being very nervous at first, the butler now feels less anxious.

After more than ten minutes, Liu Qiaopu straightened his back and said, "It's all parquet flooring underneath, and it's very strong to knock on." It seems that there is no hollow place! If you don't want to help move the wooden cabinet away from Mr. Jia, will it be under that mat? ”

"It's unlikely, I've heard that the basement is in the middle of the room, it's close to the wall, and beyond that is the cliff, and it can't be a place to dig the basement!" The butler shook his head in disbelief, still not touching the furniture.

Yanagihashi Pu didn't want to force him, and continued: "I think it's really strange, why didn't the previous owner of this place, Mr. Anze, build the basement on the safer side of the main house? The location of this remote house makes people feel very dangerous. ”

"yes, I originally thought that the hostess would be in this room, but now it seems that there is no hope here." The butler lowered his head, his expression dejected.

"So be it! You go back to the main house first to see if Xiao Yun and Xiao Yan have come back, if you come back, let the two of them come here, anyway, you haven't found the hostess, why don't I search with them and find out where the basement here is? ”

"Grandpa Liu, are you really sure you want to go through all this place?"

"Otherwise, what would I tell you to tell them to do? Okay, stop rambling and go ahead! "Liuqiao Puyi's posture of selling the old began to come out again.

The butler sighed lightly and turned back to the door.

In fact, at this time, Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng had only returned to the restaurant for a long time, and the housekeeper walked into the restaurant about ten minutes after their return.

After receiving the message from Liu Qiaopu, the two young men immediately put on their coats again and walked out, at this time Liu Hang said behind their backs: "Why don't I go and help grandpa too!" ”

"No, you stay here and stay with everyone." Yan Muheng didn't finish speaking, and closed the door of the restaurant. Liu Hang had no choice but to give up. Anyway, with the two of them here, it is estimated that grandpa will not have anything to do.

While waiting for Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng, Liu Qiaopu squatted down again, he picked up the ruins with his hands, and then swept away the dust little by little, his fingers groping back and forth between the seams of the floor and the surface of the floor, carefully observing the floor below. As if he had discovered something, the old man's two thick eyebrows were furrowed.

There must be something wrong with the floor here, otherwise the old man would not have asked the housekeeper to find a helper to come and search the entire ruins, looking at his current appearance, the worry on his face was no less than Yun Yeyao when he was looking for the proprietress just now.
