Chapter 20: The Secret Room, the Real Secret Room!
"What the hell did you find?" Kiyomi Ruri began to be irritable, her little face began to distort, the most annoying thing in her life was that others sold her, "Did you find an important clue about Tominaga-san's whereabouts?!" ”
Qiyuan Wucai didn't care whether she was angry or not, and said in a very comfortable mood: "I don't know, it may have something to do with it, or it may not have anything to do with it." ”
You bastard who deserves to be burned by hell for a thousand years!
Kiyomi Ruri's fist was hard, and he couldn't bear to press him to the ground and beat him - I want to hold back, I'm older now, I'm a lady with both beauty and wisdom, I can't hit people, I can't hit people......
She counted from one to ten in her heart, and then from ten to one before she suppressed the evil fire, gritted her teeth and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"A secret room."
Kiyomi Ruri was shocked: "A secret room?!" ”
"Yes, a secret room." Nanahara Takeshi looked at the house and said casually, "Don't you feel it?" The area of several rooms on the second floor adds up to something that is not quite right, especially when compared with the first floor, and then compared with the appearance of the house, is it more awkward? ”
"Ah, this kind of thing...... Can you still feel it? ”
"Absolutely." Nanahara Takeshi tapped his forehead with his index finger, "The human brain receives information all the time and is active all the time, so sometimes it is clear that the surrounding is calm, but the brain will still make you feel uneasy and feel that something is wrong, so as to improve your concentration, let you concentrate on thinking, and let you judge whether there is danger around you, which is a kind of genetic instinct." ”
After a pause, he added, "This kind of person with a recessive brain is sometimes referred to as a person with sharp intuition. ”
Kiyomi Ruri suddenly said: "If you say this, I seem to be this kind of person......"
Nanahara Wu looked at her speechlessly for a while, and said directly: "You are not, the premise of intuitive sharpness is that you have brains, and you are not qualified." ”
Kiyomi Ruri's snort instantly became heavy, and he glared at Nanahara Takeshi angrily, and began to count again in his heart.
When she suppressed her anger again, her heart suddenly became excited again - the secret room, the real secret room, the secret room that she had only seen in mystery novels before, was now in front of her eyes!
I really didn't come in vain today, and I didn't suffer from this kid's wretched anger in vain!
She immediately asked in super anticipation, "Where is the secret room?" ”
"Most likely in the study on the second floor."
Nanahara Takeshi recalled the layout of the second floor, set up a model in his mind and compared it with the appearance, and then deduced it, and immediately left, Kiyomi Ruri followed closely behind, and when he passed by the first floor, he found that Hidakaji was smoking in the kitchen, and Taiji Okuno was on the phone, so he hesitated and didn't call them.
I don't know if the secret room is directly related to Yosuke Tominaga's disappearance, maybe it's just a place for him to hide his valuables, so he doesn't have to rush to call someone.
…………
Soon, she returned to the study on the second floor, and immediately looked left and right, trying to guess where the entrance to the secret room was, but she couldn't find it, and immediately asked, "Where is the entrance to the secret room?" ”
Nanahara Takeshi can also deduce it if he models and calculates, but there is no need to be so troublesome, he casually pulled a small steel ball from the "Newton pendulum" on the desk, and said with a smile: "Do you still need to ask such a simple thing?" Try it and you'll find out! ”
As he spoke, he placed the small steel ball on the floor in the middle of the room, and saw the small ball stand still for a moment, slowly rolling to the side of the bookshelf.
Kiyomi Ruri's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "You don't have to explain, I know this method!" ”
Generally, the secret room is remodeled, and additional reinforcement will be carried out, which directly leads to the shift of the center of gravity of the house that was originally balanced in all aspects. In this case, it doesn't matter if it's a day or two, but after a long time, it will naturally sink one side of the foundation and let a smooth ball roll slowly.
Heavy furniture like bookshelves can't do that alone, you need something heavier like steel.
Of course, this also has to be a normal house, except for dilapidated houses with unstable foundations or even the ground that cannot be leveled, and the quality of Tominaga's house is good, so this method will be effective immediately.
At the very least, that direction is the most suspicious.
Kiyomi Ruri immediately ran to the bookshelf wall, first pushed the bookshelf, and then began to pull the books, and said, "There must be a mechanism to open the door, don't say it, I can find it." ”
Nanahara Takeshi stood aside and waited, but after waiting for four or five minutes, Kiyomi Ruri didn't find the so-called "door opening mechanism." ”
He couldn't stand it anymore, and prompted: "You squat, what's the use of you standing and flipping through the book, how can the secret room switch be hidden in such a conspicuous place, isn't Tominaga afraid that others will touch it by mistake?" ”
It makes sense, Kiyomi Ruri hurriedly squatted down to look for it, but he was unconvinced: "It may also be in a high place, and ordinary people will not touch it." ”
"Tominaga has to find a bench every time he opens the door?"
Kiyomi Ruri was still unconvinced, and muttered in a low voice: "Maybe the switch is somewhere else, and it may not be in front of the secret room." ”
Nanahara Takeshi was helpless, stretched out his feet and kicked weakly, "Here, reach in and touch it from here." ”
Kiyomi Ruri glanced back at him in confusion, reached in from the top of the book and touched it for a while, with a look of surprise on her face: "Eh, there really is a handle, I feel like I can pull it." ”
Then she looked at the place in confusion, "How do you know it's here?" There's nothing special here! ”
There were slight burrs on the spine of several books there, which should have been rubbed occasionally, of course suspicious, but Nanahara Takeshi had no intention of explaining to her at this time, and directly took two steps back and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Lala try." ”
Kiyomi Ruri pulled the handle very obediently, feeling quite heavy, but waited for a moment and didn't respond, and was about to ask Takeshi Nanahara again, when he suddenly heard a slight motor start, and then the bookshelf in front of him began to rise silently, probably through the ceiling into a certain hidden space in the attic, as part of the reconstruction.
She watched in amazement as the bookshelf rose up, revealing a door with an electronic combination lock, and said in surprise: "Found it, there really is a secret room!" ”
Nanahara Takeshi was not surprised, took a closer look at the silver-white door, and then looked at the nameplate under the password dial, and said thoughtfully: "It's not a secret room, it's a large safe, it's still German, it's anti-theft and fireproof, and the standard is very high...... Well, in this case, you need to enter two sets of sixteen-digit passwords, as long as any one of them is entered wrong three times, it will be completely locked. ”
"So it's just a safe?" Kiyomi Ruri was disappointed, "That's nothing special." ”
Nanahara Takeshi was noncommittal: "Very special, this kind of safe is almost not purchased by private individuals, although the security is high, and it is more convenient to open, but it covers too much space, it is too bulky, and the cost performance for private use is very low, it is generally located in small banks, and even in the vaults of banks, why does Tominaga want to make such a big thing at home?" ”
"Maybe he's hiding some rare treasures?" Kiyomi Ruri pondered, "Or maybe what the informant saw at the time was not a conjecture picture, but someone was really forcing him to question the safe...... No, since the area is so large, like a small house, it should be considered a secret room, and someone beat him up just to get the secret room password. ”
Then she looked at the safe carefully, and the curiosity in her eyes was about to overflow, "I don't know what treasures are hidden in it, whether those people have succeeded." ”
Nanahara Takeshi was also interested at this time, and said with a smile: "Just open it and take a look." ”
Kiyomi Ruri said depressedly: "It's easy for you to say, how to open it?" Isn't this a safe that banks will only use, and it is estimated that the police will also contact the manufacturer or weld it directly, right? ”
"The password is set by people, as long as the person is set up, it will definitely be easy to remember, and this is an opportunity." Nanahara Takeshi didn't care about Kiyomi Ruri's words at all, he was full of interest, his hands were itching, he looked sideways at the bottom of each button on the dial, and said to himself, "Well, 8, 9, and 0 don't look worn, and these three keys are almost useless?" Two separate sets of sixteen-digit passwords, but the property inside belongs to Tominaga alone, and he does not need to use measures to guard against each other, and he does not need to use two sets of unrelated passwords, which means ......"
He finished talking to himself, raised his hand and began to enter the password, humming a song softly in his mouth, four long notes and one measure, the rhythm was slow and steady, a bit like an old nursery rhyme, but the tone was quite gloomy, "The door cracks, the door cracks, mom is laughing, mom is laughing, she doesn't speak, she keeps laughing; At the head of the village, there are barren rocks, turtles carrying buckets, and crows are crying......"
The tone of the voice was really gloomy, Kiyomi Ruri subconsciously shuddered, then reacted, and hurriedly said: "Don't come nonsense, in case the safe is completely locked......"
Before she finished speaking, Nanahara Takeshi had already entered a set of passwords, only to hear a soft sound of the door lock "ding", a green light turned on, and there was a faint sound of gears turning in the door.
Kiyomi Ruri's eyes widened, and the password turned out to be the right one!
The sound of Nanahara Takeshi humming the tune did not stop, and she continued to enter the next set of passwords, and she finally suddenly realized: "It's that nursery rhyme, the weird nursery rhyme that has repeatedly appeared in the old movie "Bone Village"!" Nursery rhymes are the password! ”
"You're not stupid yet." After entering another set of passwords, Takeshi Nanahara turned the handle to let the door open automatically after saying a word, and said with great interest, "Okay, let's see what kind of treasure ...... inside"
This time it was his turn to speak, and as soon as the door opened a small crack, his face changed suddenly, he took a step back, and easily dragged Kiyomi Ruri over to block him, and he looked in from the top of her head with a strange expression.
"What are you doing?" Kiyomi Ruri was inexplicable, but he immediately smelled the strong smell of blood, and when he looked into the "secret room", his brain was dizzy, and he turned his head and crashed into Nanahara Takeshi's arms.
Fortunately, this collision stifled her screams, otherwise the glass on the window would have shattered.
A bullshit treasure, inside is a corpse, and the blood is all drained!
