Chapter 284: The Secret Door

Leaving the dwarf old man's house, everyone seemed a little depressed, and they were about to discover the decisive evidence, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and no one was in a good mood.

However, when he walked back, Leach found that Saya had a relaxed look on his face, and even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but wonder if she had found anything.

"I've found the secret door. ”

Saya's words surprised everyone.

"Can't find it, there's nothing strange in that little yard, how could you say that?"

Faced with the big guy's questioning, Saya sold a pass, and asked Leach instead: "The last time you went to investigate with Mr. Howard, was it similar to the place we investigated this time?"

Leach nodded: "That's right, we both checked the places that might be problematic, and even the ground in the yard was beaten with wooden sticks little by little, and we didn't find anything unusual at all." ”

"Then you must have missed something. Saya was very determined.

"Impossible!" Leach's first reaction was unconvinced, "Last time, the two of us didn't even let go of the place where they put the garbage, how could we miss it? Even if we didn't check all the places because of carelessness, then we searched so many people together today, can we still miss a certain place?"

"Not necessarily. Saya smiled confidently, "Some places are particularly conspicuous, but they are easy to be overlooked, and the so-called dark under the lamp means this, everyone think about it." ”

"It's dark under the lights?" Saya said something that made everyone ponder.

"Is it ......," a flash of inspiration crossed Leach's mind, "is it the gate?"

"The gate? Unlikely, who would have built a secret door in such a conspicuous place, and it would be bad if someone found out!"

"It's really the gate. Saya announced the answer, "It's like we didn't find out before, did we?"

It turned out that when everyone was searching the courtyard and the three rooms, Saya noticed that the old man's demeanor was very relaxed, and he was obviously not worried that Leach would find something.

Generally speaking, you will behave like this, either with a clear conscience or because you are very confident in where you are hiding. Judging from the information that Leach and Howard investigated before, it is obvious that the dwarf old man belongs to the latter.

With this judgment, Saya felt that it was impossible to find out the location of the secret door by normal means, and what happened later proved this, so she began to think about the places in that small courtyard that did not cover a large area that ordinary people would not investigate at all.

Then, she thought of the gate.

According to common sense, people who come to search will definitely look in the yard, and the focus of the search must be those corners that are easy to hide.

Saya took advantage of the fact that the old dwarf didn't notice her, and looked behind the open gate, and sure enough, he noticed that something was wrong.

The gate of the dwarf old man's house is the old double-opening wooden door, because the use of the year is too long, resulting in some loosening of the door post, when the door is opened, the door leaf will inevitably rub with the ground, forming two very obvious arc-shaped trajectories on the ground.

But just behind the door of the gate on the right, Saya noticed an extra trail parallel to and next to the wall, and then she knew that the secret door they had been looking for was in such a prominent place.

"Then sister, why don't you say it on the spot, that dead old man laughed so proudly when he saw that we didn't find anything, he me off!"

Without Saya to explain, Leach replied for her: "Saying it on the spot is relieving qi, and then what? It's not useless, but it will make the other party vigilant." If only there was a secret room behind that secret door, we would have lost the chance to catch all the bad guys at most, but if there was a secret passage behind the secret door, it would be miserable!"

In front of Howard, Leach didn't say something, that is, he actually believed that behind the secret door was a secret passage, and Qin Guo was one of the leaders of the so-called "rebels" in the town.

The secret passage of the old dwarf's house can basically be concluded to be the passage for the "rebels" to freely enter and exit the town of Kelmos.

Once they catch the old dwarf on the spot, even if they immediately chase them out along the dark passage, it is very likely that they will only chase them into the woods outside the town, and when they find the nest of the "rebels", the other party may have already sensed the danger and retreated.

At that point, there is no real possibility that they will want to recover the consignment.

Tali was able to stand out from the many orphans in the Tower Hill Orphanage and become an adventure hunter, naturally she couldn't just rely on her natural strength, if that were the case, she would have been pit to the point that there were no bones left. After some mention by Leach, she quickly understood that Saya was the most correct choice.

Now that the location of the secret door has been determined, what Leach and the others have to consider next is how to find the nest of the "rebels" through the secret passage without alarming the father and son who don't know whether they are the father and son or not.

Then the "loot" brought back from the steppes came in handy.

Among the alchemy items, there is indeed a potion that has a sleeping effect, but this elixir is very expensive, not to mention, and even if it is used only a little, it has a fatal effect on ordinary people, and it is very likely that they will not wake up for a long time.

This potion is usually used by alchemists to capture adult beasts or magical beasts as experimental materials, so it is not suitable for Leach to use against the "father and son".

Ordinary potions also have a sleeping effect, but judging from the structure of the dwarf old man's house, it is less difficult to put the drug into their food or water without being detected, it is better to try not to make a noise while they are asleep, so this method is not in their consideration.

When everyone was worried, Ti Xinlier brought good news to everyone, saying that among the secret recipes of their prairie, there was a potion that could release smoke as long as it was lit, which was used to relieve the pain of the wounded, which was very suitable for the current situation.

And among the "dowry" prepared by the people of the Wind Owl tribe for Di Xinlier, there happened to be this kind of potion, which invisibly solved a problem for everyone.
