Chapter 139: Discoveries in the Study
On the morning of December 31, the study of the treacherous house owner's house
Yan Muheng's condition is currently quite stable, although he has suffered a lot of injuries, but his consciousness is clear, and his mental state is also good.
He seems to have lost the memory of when he was injured, no matter how Tang Meiya talked to him, he just couldn't ask about the specific plot, but fortunately, Tang Meiya was a patient old woman, and she was not in a hurry to ask for details.
However, Yan Muheng himself showed a look of annoyance, he tried to think about what happened just now, but he couldn't think of anything, but his mind began to ache faintly.
He lowered his head and rubbed the throbbing nerves on his temples with his hands, Tang Meiya said on the side: "Mr. Yan, it's okay, if you can't remember, just rest for a while, Officer Xie will be back soon." ”
Tang Meiya just wanted to comfort Yan Muheng, she didn't think this young man was like a murderer, but Yan Muheng misunderstood her words, thinking that Tang Meiya was reminding him that it was best not to make plans to run away when she said that Xie Yunmeng would come back soon.
Yan Muheng showed a wry smile towards Tang Meiya, his miserable white lips were closed and his head was lowered. I wasn't going to run away in the first place, so there was no need to explain anything to the old woman. But at the same time, Yan Muheng can also understand Tang Meiya's thinking in his heart, after all, for them now, he is very likely to be a suspect, and this suspicion cannot be avoided.
The three people hiding behind the bookshelf have their own hearts, Yaya is the first time to see the real Yan Muheng, although she has no way to trust this man, but out of her kind nature, she still hopes that Yan Muheng can get better.
Yaya saw that her grandmother no longer asked Yan Muheng what happened just now, so she asked herself: "Mr. Yan, can you tear off the disguise on your face?" ”
This is the most real idea of the little girl, she will not hide it, indeed, they all want to see what Yan Muheng looks like?
Yan Muheng said to Yaya with the side of his face that was attached to the scar: "You just think this is my true face, I don't know what my true face looks like?" Maybe this is the right fit for me. As he spoke, Yan Muheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the scar.
Yaya didn't understand what he meant? Looking at her grandmother with strange eyes, Tang Meiya said, "Yaya, don't ask again, Mr. Yan needs to rest." ”
"Oh, I see." Yaya responded obediently, turned her head and lay on the only small square table in the study.
This small square table was solid wood, so heavy that there was no way to move it at all. When Yaya and Grandma moved just now, they all relied on pushing. Now Yaya was lying on top of it, staring at the floor.
Suddenly, she said to Tang Meiya as if she had seen something: "Grandma, there are scratches on the ground!" ”
"Huh?!" Tang Meiya glanced back suspiciously, her waist and legs were not as flexible as those of young people, so it was a little difficult to turn around between the narrow bookshelves.
The last two rows of bookshelves in the study seem to be particularly narrow because the books on them are not often read. Tang Meiya finally squatted in a position where Yaya could see, squinted her presbyopia, and searched the floor.
She didn't see the scratches on the floor at first glance, maybe it was because of the similar color, the floor was dark, and the gaps embedded in it were also dark, and it seemed that there was also a shadow treatment, that is, a little camouflage was made when painting, so Tang Meiya searched for a long time to find the so-called concave scratches.
Comparing with the position of the table legs, Tang Meiya finally found that the reason why the small square table in the study could not be moved may not be because it was heavy, but because the table legs themselves were connected to the floor, like a movable pulley or lever.
"Yaya, didn't you just find this thing?" Tang Meiya asked.
"It was so dark just now, I just pushed the table, and I didn't see it at all."
Tang Meiya thought for a moment and said, "Maybe this is what Mr. Yun wants us to find, let's try to push the table forward a little further to see if we can open the floor." ”
"Okay, grandma, I'll try." Yaya stood up, put her hands on the edge of the table and pushed hard, but she and Tang Meiya tried their best, and did not move the small square table for another half minute, and the floor did not open.
"This should have a hidden button." Yan Muheng's words came from behind him, and he didn't know when he had stood up from the ground and walked behind his ancestors and grandchildren.
Tang Meiya hurriedly asked her granddaughter to retreat behind her, and then asked Yan Muheng: "Mr. Yan, do you know how to open the mechanism here?" ”
"I don't know, I did know a little bit about the Tricky House, but I didn't know much about the mechanism. I guess the reason you can't move the table is because there's a hidden buckle under the floor. That table is just a moving switch, and if you don't turn on the hidden button, no matter how you move the table, it won't work! ”
"So what now?" Yaya asked from behind her grandmother's shoulder, her eyes were looking at Yan Muheng, and the question was also asking Yan Muheng.
Yan Muheng still said that he didn't know, Yaya couldn't help but be a little frustrated, and muttered softly: "Then what you just said wasn't nonsense?" After guessing for a long time, there is still no solution. ”
"Yaya, Mr. Yan wants to help us figure out a way together, don't interject first, let me and Mr. Yan think about it!" After speaking, Tang Meiya turned to Yan Muheng and said, "Mr. Yan, don't mind Yaya's attitude, with your understanding of the treacherous house, how can we find the secret button?" ”
Tang Meiya believed that there must be a hidden button that Yan Muheng said, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for the owner of the house to design the small square table like this, and she waited for Yan Muheng to come up with a way.
Yan Muheng squatted down and reached out to touch the floor, but his hand trembled as soon as he raised it a little, and the pain made him stop moving, looking at his wound that was still bleeding, Yan Muheng had no choice but to replace it with his left hand, which was not very flexible.
The bleeding right hand hindered his movement a lot, and Yan Muheng asked Tang Meiya: "Grandma Tang, do you have something like a handkerchief on you?" Can you help me bandage it first? ”
"I didn't bring a handkerchief," Tang Meiya saw the decorative lace on her granddaughter's cotton vest as she spoke, which should also be cotton, and she said, "Yaya, your lace should be able to be removed!" ”
"Oh, this one is button-stitched and can be removed."
"Okay, don't move!" Tang Meiya took off the entire lace with her hands, and then began to bite off the button threads attached to the lace one by one, Yaya looked at her curiously and said, "Grandma, do you want me to help?" ”
"No need, grandma will be fine soon, you stay on the side and don't run around."
Soon, Tang Meiya took off all the buttons, and then said to Yan Muheng: "Mr. Yan, there is only this thing now, you bear with it, and I will bandage it for you." ”
"Okay, I'm in trouble." Yan Muheng wanted to stretch out his right hand again, but his right hand didn't listen to him at all, and he couldn't stop trembling.
Tang Meiya took a closer look at the wound on his hand, and said with some consternation: "Mr. Yan, the wound on the back of your hand is okay, but your wrist seems to have hurt blood vessels and nerves, no wonder it will affect your movements, if you don't treat it in time, it will be very troublesome!" ”
"Grandma Tang, hurry up and bandage it, there is no treatment now, if the hand is wasted, it will be wasted, as long as the life is there."
"Alas!" Regarding Yan Muheng's words, Tang Meiya couldn't say any words of comfort except sighing. She hurried to bandage Yan Muheng's right hand, and then said, "Mr. Yan, you come, I'll look for it, this will be faster, Yaya, you pay attention to whether Officer Xie is back." ”
