Chapter 132: The Reasoning Theater of the Red-Eyed 'Ghosts' Act I: The Mystery Under the Carpet IV
"Roy, are you alright? I'm so scared! ”
Lu Huimei persisted for a long time, but she still couldn't resist the fear in her heart, and said in the direction of Luo Yifan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Yifan turned around and comforted her: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about anything with us." If you see something, just remind us loudly. ”
Now, Jiang Xinglong's point of expanding and retracting the so-called 'carpet stage board' on the bottom edge of the wall has aroused Luo Yifan's great interest, and the mystery of this house is simply shocking in every way.
From a distance, the wooden patchwork walls are integrated, and the spliced wooden blocks are arranged in an upright shape with high and low crossings.
In other words, rectangular wooden blocks, one high and one low, are stacked and spliced together in a staggered manner.
The blocks are about the same size as the ones that are spliced horizontally on the outside of the balcony, and are painted with fiery red paint.
The red itself, especially the flame-like red, is intense, so if there are any small gaps or black shades on it, you can't see it unless you look closely.
Especially on the bottom edge of the corner. The night is even more illegible.
Jiang Xinglong actually discovered an incredible thing at the same time as he found a living mouth.
That is, the large furniture of the red room, which is not placed on the carpet, is suspended in mid-air.
As soon as this remark came out, if not immediately to analyze why. It will definitely be considered nonsense.
It's not magic! What's more, magic levitation also has its ulterior secrets.
Why can furniture be suspended in mid-air? The furniture is suspended, and no one has seen it until now?
Indeed, none of them saw it, not because they were not looking very carefully. It's because the suspension of these pieces of furniture is too hidden.
As we said, many of the secrets in the House are so deeply hidden that they will not be discovered without very, very careful investigation.
The woolly carpet was soaked in red blood, and after the blood clotted, all the plush on the carpet was tangled together and stood upright one by one.
And the gap between furniture and carpets. It's only about a few millimeters, and the tangled plush on the carpet stands upright, just hiding the difference of a few millimeters.
Therefore, from the stand-up point of view, it is impossible for the average person to see that there is no contact between the feet of the furniture and the carpet.
Close to the bottom edge of all the furniture's feet, there is a slightly blackened gap a few millimeters wide.
Luo Yifan leaned down, put his eyes close to the gap and looked inside carefully, he couldn't see anything clearly, it was dark inside, and he didn't know if there was another layer of carpet.
He looked back up and said, "Looks like we're going to have to find the switch for the mechanism." to know if there is a 'stage version' in my imagination. ”
"Yes! You look at these furniture. Jiang Xinglong pointed to the big bed next to them and said.
Now the position of the two of them is in the corner of the east side of the north wall of the red room, that is, the corner behind the door frame on the side where Lu Huimei is sitting, and Lu Huimei is just back to back.
The big bed was on their left-hand side, and Jiang Xinglong pointed to the head of the big bed, which is where the headboard is located.
The two men gathered in the direction of his finger to take a closer look.
It turns out that the furniture is not suspended, but attached to the wall.
How so? Look at the walls around the four sides are made of rectangular wooden planks. The headboard of the queen bed rests against the wall, leaving no gaps.
In fact, the headboard is not integrated with the wall at all, which means that the wall behind the headboard is a whole piece, which is well combined with the patchwork blocks on the sides, the designer who designed the house. It must have taken a lot of effort to fiddle with the furniture and the walls.
The secrets that keep them connected to the walls are hard to discern any flaws.
From the wall behind the headboard to the board of the queen bed, to the entire body of the bed and the bed frame, it is simply carved out of a single piece of wood.
Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong took off all the sheets and bedding on the bed and threw them on the ground, only to discover the secret.
The design of the bottom of the bed must be seamlessly integrated with the carpet above. That's why there is this layer of carpet below, which is a few millimeters away. And the designers used a long-wool carpet to cover up the difference of a few millimeters.
The two of them continued to look at the other furniture, the freestanding floor sofa did not have to do anything, and after the upper layer of carpet was removed, it would naturally fall to the lower layer of carpet.
A single sofa against the wall, a tall wardrobe, a semi-circular bedside table and a queen bed are all the same thing.
"Why is it designed this way? What exactly does it do? The more Jiang Xinglong looked at it, the more surprised he became: "If you have to have two layers of carpet, then the furniture doesn't have to be connected to the wall, right?" With a difference of only a few millimeters, it won't make a lot of noise when dropped on the carpet, right? ”
"Nope! You're thinking wrong! Luo Yifan said directly: "That's to hide things, money or drugs, and the reason why the larger furniture is all attached to the wall is because they are difficult to move." ”
"If the top layer of carpet is removed, all the furniture will fall directly onto the bottom layer of carpet, and it won't make too much noise. But what about going back to the original state again? ”
"Carrying all the furniture out and waiting for the carpet to return to its original shape before bringing them in is not only time-consuming, labor-intensive, but also difficult to conceal."
"My guess is that this may be one of the places where the corrupt officials hid their money more than 20 years ago, and it was later discovered by those who made and sold drugs, and it is possible that it was used to hide drugs."
"And the murderer used it to accomplish the ruse of the 'impossible magic of disappearing and reappearing' in the Red Room."
Luo Yifan returned to Lu Huimei's side, gently soothed her shoulder, and continued.
And Jiang Xinglong walked out of the red room, took a wooden chair in the living room, and simply listened to Luo Yifan in the position facing the corridor.
They all need to know the truth so much, and the truth they are talking about now is only a drop in the bucket of all the secrets of the Bird's House.
The impossible secret of the disappearance and reappearance of the red room is about to be revealed, and the murderer's means of killing Fan Xin'er will also get a preliminary understanding.
Everything that happened here, the most suspicious thing at the moment is Buhe, but is it just Buhe, what about the others? Is there really no suspicion at all?
Everyone, including the three people here now, has secrets about their past.
The only difference is that the secrets of the past of the three people present have been revealed. And other people's secrets are still hidden in the fog waiting to be solved.
