Nia and Fei's dedication to the investigation has greatly exceeded Claire's expectations, and it was already late at night when the investigation began, but the two detectives not only did not get tired at all, but ignited as the investigation progressed.

And Krell doesn't have such perseverance, after experiencing the battle between detectives, the rush of snowy nights, and finally the high-intensity and high-attention investigation, he is already tired and can't open his eyes. On several occasions, it was Fei who was passing by who woke up Fei who was asleep leaning on various objects.

Finally, after the trio teamed up to turn Arya's home upside down, Nia took the lead in planning to leave. This room seemed to her to be untraceable, and instead of investigating something pointless here, it was better to go back and rest and start researching Arya's escape route tomorrow.

When she made an agreement with Lilith, she said that although it was a match, if Alia accidentally got caught while fleeing, then Lilith would be the winner of this match.

Therefore, it is not a careless thing at all, the other party is not a rabbit without resistance, but an armed fugitive, even if it is a rabbit, it will bite when it is in a hurry. You have to maintain a high level of concentration.

&nbs goodbye then, we'll be there tomorrow on time. ”

The reason why Claire intends to stay here does not make Nia and Faye aware of anything, but it also makes Claire a little helpless, after all, "I don't have this comfort at home, so I will sleep here temporarily", it still takes some courage to say it.

"Whew, it's finally gone. The detective who wants to taste the salt in both kitchens. ”

After closing the door tightly. Claire replaces the candlesticks hanging on the wall with a few new candles. The glow of the gas gives the room a lot of warmth.

Although my home is a little smaller, I always feel a little eerie and scary to suddenly spend the night in such a big house.

"Hey, Krel?"

"Ahhh......hhh What, it's you. ”

Claire turned around and found Watson looking at him helplessly.

"Claire, you can be a detective like this......"

"What, what. Detectives are also good people. ”

Claire complained, "Speaking of which, you said before that you heard the sound of the secret door, is it really not your auditory hallucinations when you were sleepy and in a trance?Nia and Faye have almost turned this room upside down, but they still haven't found any clues about the secret door in the mezzanine you mentioned." Especially Fei, she finally went to the secret door, but she still didn't find anything. ”

"You can't be wrong, the real investigation is not a detective novel, and the detective will find the secret door by knocking on the wall casually, unless she is lucky. Otherwise, this would not have happened. Watson said, "Secret doors like that." The more you focus on finding it, the easier it is to find it. Her ears, after listening to the same sound a hundred times, will definitely have the same hallucinations of the one hundred and first different sounds, which is auditory fatigue. ”

"When you read a book of detectives, you really looked like a detective. Anyway, whether you heard it wrong or not, let's go upstairs and investigate. ”

Fighting his spirit, Claire walked up to the second floor. This place has been turned over by Nia and Faye, and even if they look for it again, it is unlikely that there will be anything new to discover. Now it is enough to focus on investigating whether the mezzanine as Watson is talking about is zài.

"Watson, what's going on, is there any movement?"

As Claire walked back and forth on the second floor, she shouted to Watson downstairs, "If there's anything unusual, I'll stop immediately!"

"I don't need you to say this, I know it!" Watson's complaint soon came from downstairs, "Please be quiet, it's noisy, I'm still listening to a fart." ”

"Got it...... Is. ”

Claire wrapped her trench coat around her, and now was not the time to say that she was alone and would be scared.

Although the big house looks a little eerie, at least the unreliable assistant is still waiting for him on the first floor.

After walking back and forth several times, Watson's voice suddenly came downstairs.

"That's it, don't move!"

"You...... Hurry up!"

Relieved, Claire quickly crouched down and began to observe the piece of ground that Watson had pointed out.

There are no lumps or markings, just an area in a thin carpet. However, judging from the colorful flowers embroidered on the carpet, it is not for nothing that this piece belongs to the blue rose, where Watson pointed out the mezzanine.

Covered by a carpet embroidered with all sorts of flowers, and a mezzanine was placed on the blue rose in the midst of it, there was no more hidden code, and it seemed that Watson was right.

"Found it?"

"Well, almost, Watson, look. ”

Claire said and stepped out of the way, "The location of this blue rose should be the location of the mezzanine you said." ”

“...... It's a little suspicious, you wait, I'll cut this piece of carpet. ”

Rash removal of the carpet will only lose the original found, the position of the mezzanine. After pulling out a knife and slicing through the blue rose and the surrounding area, what appeared made Claire frown.

The floor is the same as the surrounding floor, and there is no special mark because it is a mezzanine. After trying to knock on the piece, Claire noticed that the mezzanine seemed to have a thick baffle that was able to cover out the hollow sound caused by the mezzanine.

In other words, if it weren't for the subtle sound heard by Watson on the first floor when a detective on the second floor was walking around, this mezzanine would not have been able to be found at all. Even if Nia or Faye noticed something unusual about the carpet, they would give up because of the same sound on the floor as the surroundings.

"Damn, it can't be opened, not even a place to push...... "Claire tried to open the floor, but it didn't seem to have a way to open it directly.

"Claire, do you want to find a sharp qi to split it directly?"

"Don't do that yet, let's talk about it as a last resort, that would destroy the evidence. ”

Claire put the carpet back together.

If there is only one anomaly in this big house, I'm afraid that only this mezzanine is left. However, it's really because it's too hidden, so it proves that there is definitely something critical in it.

"Let's go and get some rest, we'll have to go to Nia tomorrow morning." (To be continued......)
