4. Missing steles
While cutting the security lock, I was nervous that someone would suddenly open it, and then someone would come out and shout to catch the thief. If this person is Liu Yue, I won't say it, if it is the fat aunt's family, then I will really be pressed to the station tonight. Thankfully, these were all just my imaginations, and nothing happened from breaking the lock to opening the door. I stood at the doorway, shining a flashlight little by little, confirming that there was no one inside, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The room is not big, very feminine and very neatly tied. When I went inside, I wiped it down on the tabletop and found that there was a thin layer of dust on it, which was enough to prove that the house had not been inhabited for a while. Seeing nothing to use, I withdrew from the house and closed the door. After going downstairs, I went to the back room and returned to my hometown, which was more nervous.
This kind of nervousness includes the fear of visiting the dark room at night, and the inexplicable hesitation. Fear can actually be overcome, after all, after so many dangerous nights, this dark room is nothing. But that hesitation made me very anxious, hoping to see the person I wanted to see upstairs, but I was afraid that I would be evicted again after seeing it, and I was even more afraid that there was no one upstairs or someone else living there.
When I climbed to the top of the stairs, I was stunned, there was an extra security door. I remember when I lived here, it was a hallway, and there were no doors. Was it installed by the fat aunt later? If that's the case, it's very likely that there are really people inside, and it's really dangerous for me to dig inside.
Just when I hesitated, I suddenly remembered that Sheng Shiyao had said that the three rooms on this floor were not only interconnected, but also connected to the downstairs, which means that there was a dark staircase at the bottom of the floor that could lead directly to a certain room above. That time, I suffered this loss, thinking that he was no longer in the house, so I boldly went to steal the box, but I was convinced by his punishment.
Immediately turned around and went downstairs, came to the stairwell to look, judging from the floor design and structure, it was estimated that the dark staircase should be located under the room. After looking for a while, I found a secret door, pushed it hard, it was not locked, the door opened and it was a small room, and when I walked in, I saw an iron ladder extending up. Looking up, the direction was just below the room in the middle.
At this point, there was no reason to hold back, so I turned off my flashlight to the lowest light and began to climb up the iron ladder. I climbed all the way to the top and shone a flashlight, and immediately saw that there was a movable plank above my head.
I guess the floor decoration of the room above is a parquet floor, and I didn't push the plank with any force, and I didn't rush to lift it immediately after pushing, but leaned close to the gap and listened with bated breath for a while, and only after making sure that there was no sound in the room did I carefully lift the plank and drill out half of it.
After following Sheng Shiyao, I also learned the trick of hearing and discerning breath, and my ears may not be as sharp as his, but my intuition is quite smart. After making sure that there was no one in the room, he climbed up from underneath. Originally, this room used to be lived in by Zhou Tong, although I never came in, but the layout of the three rooms on this upper floor is similar. After searching around the room and finding no useful information, he shone a flashlight on the wall to find the location of the secret door in his memory.
Because I had researched in my room before, even if Zhou Tong hadn't entered this room, I quickly found the secret door. The two doors are very elaborate, the one that connects me is a floor-to-ceiling dressing mirror to disguise it, and the one that connects to Sheng Shiyao's room is blocked by a hanger. After thinking about it for a while, I chose to go into Sheng Shiyao's room to explore.
The secret door is very cleverly designed, there is no doorknob on the door, and it can be pushed open with a light push. Whether there is someone behind the door, I am not sure, if Sheng Shiyao is still there, even the softest voice will not escape his ears, but if he is not there, then such a light movement will not be heard by ordinary people if they fall asleep. When I took cover, my first instinct was to search the darkness everywhere, even around the corners, especially the ledge last time.
When I didn't find anyone, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I couldn't tell if I was lost or sighed. By this time, it was almost certain that the rooms upstairs in the back room were empty and unoccupied. turned on the flashlight and shone the house again, not even under the foot of the bed, I felt funny after looking for it, could Sheng Shiyao be the kind of person hiding under the bed?
I walked over to the desk, which saw nothing on it except for some paper, opened the drawer, and was stunned for two seconds, only to find Sheng Shiyao's laptop inside. I thought about it in my mind, and it seemed that when I went to Jiuzhaigou in my memory, he really didn't bring a notebook to the past, did he forget? I took it out and pressed the power button, but after pressing it for a while, I didn't see the screen light up, so it should be out of power. After thinking about it, I put my laptop in the backpack behind me, and I was going back to the hotel to study it.
I rummaged through the drawer again and found a blank piece of paper with a few symbols drawn on it, and I don't know what it meant. I stuffed the blank paper in my pocket and rummaged through it and found nothing. I opened the wardrobe, and the clothes in it were neatly hung, and I felt the pockets of each piece of clothing, but I didn't find anything.
Looking at the time on the watch, it was already pointing to half past five, and the sky outside the window was already white, and it could not be delayed any longer. Walked to the secret door, turned around and scanned the room again to make sure that there was no missing information before turning and leaving. Back to Zhou Tong's room, time does not allow me to visit the room where I have lived, and I have determined that they have not come back anyway, at most it is an empty room, so don't look at it.
After retreating from the iron staircase, closing the plywood and the secret door, he quickly ran to the front room, took out the burglar lock from his bag, and relocked the two doors of the store. It was not for nothing to keep watch in the vicinity for three days, and I had prepared two identical locks before I came, in order to hide from others. This time I went in, except for the lock on the door of Liu Yue's room, the rest was not damaged.
Although this burglary did not make any real gains, I can at least be sure of one thing. Liu Yue should have just given the façade of the shop to the fat aunt, and the back room and her bedroom were not in the agreement, so the security door at the staircase of the back room should have been installed by Liu Yue before leaving. This at least means that they have not completely abandoned this place, but still have plans to come back.
I didn't rush back to the hotel, but took a taxi and asked the driver where there was a place to repair the computer, and the driver drove me to a computer repair department without saying a word. After I went in, I took out the notebook in my bag and explained to the owner that I forgot to bring the charger, and then I used it until it ran out of power, and I don't know if he can have a charging power supply there.
The boss didn't suspect him, took the notebook and looked at the model, then took a power supply out, tried it, and the screen lit up. I was overjoyed and hurriedly paid for the charging power supply. When I got back to the hotel, I plugged it in and turned on my laptop. I was expecting to find out something about Sheng Shiyao from this computer, but after five minutes, I found that this computer was as clean as a new machine, and every folder was empty, and I couldn't even find any traces on it.
I'm not good at computers at all, I'm a layman. I can only carry it to the repair company again, pretending that I don't know why all the files disappeared after booting up, and see if I can find it. The boss helped me inspect it for a while, then looked at me strangely and said, "Your machine is set to automatically restore, and every time it shuts down, it will return to the original setting." If you have important files in it, you shouldn't set it up like this. ”
I'm stunned, auto-restore? Like, right? I didn't want to ask any more, the boss already had doubts in his eyes, and I scratched my head pretending to be confused, saying that I had forgotten about it. When I came out of the repair shop, I was disappointed that this useful clue seemed to be broken again. I took out the blank paper in my pocket, and looked at the ghost-like things on it, but I didn't see anything famous. It stands to reason that Sheng Shiyao is unlikely to be a person who casually scribbles on paper, but what is he drawing?
Uneasy, I was hit by a passer-by, and the paper in my hand fell to the ground, and the man apologized repeatedly, but I didn't have the heart to care, and hurriedly went to pick up the white paper. When my hand touched the white paper, I suddenly paused, stared at the symbols on the paper, and a flash of inspiration occurred in my mind, I know! This is not a symbol, it is Khitan! These words are written diagonally diagonally, and when I look at them squarely, it's no wonder I can't see them.
It stands to reason that I'm here to find someone, and if there is no way to find it, I should give up and go home, but these many things that seem to have no information are weird, why does Sheng Shiyao's computer have to install the restoration elf, is the information in it not known? It is said that a real computer master, even if the machine is formatted and reinstalled in the system, can still find out the original data. But where am I going to find such a master? In addition, why did Sheng Shiyao write these words on a blank piece of paper, and what do they mean?
I remember that when he was in the Tibetan house in Jiuzhaigou, he copied the words on the stone tablet in a notebook. I decided to go to Yunyuan and learn from him to copy down the inscriptions on the stele, and then look up the relevant information to see what is engraved on the stele. However, when I arrived at the depths of the forest in Yunyuan, the stele was gone, and I searched all around, but I couldn't find it.
I have the impression that the stele is as big as one square meter, and it is not easy to move it, and I vaguely feel that this matter may have been done by Sheng Shiyao. But why did he take the stele away? Because of the above? Could it be that there is some earth-shattering secret hidden on the stone tablet? Thinking about it this way, I think it is very possible, because Sheng Shiyao has always been very serious about the stone stele.
I didn't dare to be interested in any secrets, but it was getting weirder and weirder.
