Markovsky put away the jewel, and when he and the director walked out of the door of the building, he looked at the stone next to the door, and it was also engraved with the following words:

Designed by Ezoda in 1907

The same handwriting is engraved on the doorway of House 42 next door.

"This house was originally designed by Ezoda, and there must have been a secret passage between the two houses. It was my negligence, otherwise I would have been here with the patrolmen. Markovsky was too remorseful to ask the patrolman standing guard:

"After I left, did two people come out of the house next door?"

"Yes, a gentleman and a lady came out of that door."

Sure enough, Markovsky guessed it, and Shirarou and the blonde beauty slipped out of the next door and fled. Markovsky turned to Wu Changhao and said in an unwavering tone: "Today is the seventh day of the ten-day period, and in the remaining three days, I will definitely catch Bai Lang." Tuesday to Wednesday evenings, please be ready at any time. ”

"Don't you have the situation you are in today?" Wu Changhao said jokingly.

"No, I promise never this time, I can vouch for my reputation."

"Great, we're here for you."

Markovsky broke up with them, found a bar to rest for a while, and quietly returned to No. 40 Xiangyang Street.

He used the money to buy off the woman he saw just now, that is, the porter of the house, confirmed that the Lu Hua brothers were not at home, and found out that the landlord's name was Liu Xiaoyan.

He used a prepared candle and went down to the basement. At the bottom of the stone steps, he picked up another garnet. There was also a door in the basement, which he opened with a special key to see that inside was a cellar where food was stored.

He carefully searched the ground, which had been dusty for a long time, as it had not been seen for a long time. But there were a few clear footprints left on the dust, some of which were swept away.

"This must have been left by Bai Lang and the others."

He was thinking so, but he keenly heard some noise next door to the basement, and the noise tended to come this way through the basement. He quickly blew out the candles and hid behind a pile of empty boxes

Markovsky held his breath and looked out secretly, only to see a crack in the wall, through which light came through. To his surprise, the crack grew bigger and bigger. Markovsky looked around the crack and saw that a corner of the wall and the iron frame installed there were slowly and silently turning. The walls cracked and grew, and a crack appeared that could be passed through by a person. A lamp moved from that crack into the basement. It turned out that someone was coming.

The man who came was a strong man, with a lamp in his hand, bent over the ground looking for something, and from time to time picked something from the dust and put it in the small cardboard box he carried. He didn't expect anyone else in the basement at all, and he was still intently looking for it.

As he slowly approached Markovsky, Markovsky suddenly jumped out of the corner and threw the man to the ground. Before the man could react, he was dizzy with a few punches and quickly tied him up.

"Hey, tell me everything you know! Do you want money? I can give you as much as you want. ”

The man slowly came back to his senses, snorted coldly at Markovsky's words, and said nothing. It seemed that force and bribery could not make this man speak, and Markovsky did not force him anymore, and began to rummage through his body, only a bunch of keys and handkerchiefs in his pocket, and then checked the small cardboard box on his body, which contained a dozen or so small garnets, exactly the same as the ones Markovsky had found. The box has the words like this:

Jeweller Lee Aung Tung Trade Street

What does the address and name mean? What does this guy have to do with a jeweler?"

Markovsky thought for a while, left the man alone in the basement, went out of the house himself, came to the East Trade Street, which was written on the box, found the Leon jeweler, took out the garnets, and said:

"Our lady asked me to send the gems, this chest ornament was bought from you, and now they have been accidentally touched and all fell off, please put them back on."

In fact, Markovsky didn't know the origin of these small gems, and just made up an excuse for a while, but he still hit it crookedly and produced a coincidence.

The shopkeeper didn't doubt it at all, and said with a smiling face: Ah, please leave it to me. Your lady has called to say that the base will be delivered in a moment.

Markovsky handed the gem to the shopkeeper, walked out of the jewelry store, flashed into a corner and looked at the door of the jewelry store, and about 5 minutes later, a veiled lady hurried into the store. She looked a little flustered.

Markovsky quietly approached the jewelry store, and when he looked through the window, the woman pulled out a chest ornament and handed it to the shopkeeper, who greeted him warmly.

Soon the woman came out, and Markovsky quietly followed her. Crossing several remote streets, the woman entered a six-story apartment.

The woman went up to the third floor, took out the key and opened the door and went in, Markovsky stayed outside, and after a while, he came to the door to see if there was anyone around, took out the special key and opened the door a crack, listened to no movement inside, and quietly walked in.

The doorway was a dark hallway, with several doors on either side of the hallway, some of them open, and no one lived inside, except for some light coming out of the room at the end of the hallway.

Markovsky peeked through the keyhole and saw the woman standing in front of the fire. She reached out and pressed an electric bell beside the stove, and strangely enough, the bell did not ring, but the wall to the right of the stove slowly began to separate to both sides, revealing a wide slit, and the woman walked in with a lamp.

If Markovsky hadn't seen this phenomenon in the basement, he would have lost his voice in shock, and he thought about the question: "Who built this tunnel?" Where does it lead? Who's that woman?"

Markovsky entered the room, walked to the stove and did the same thing, the wall cracked again, and Markovsky got inside. He crept his way through the darkness. Suddenly, I touched something soft like a cloth. He struck a match and saw that it was a lot of women's clothes hanging on the shelves. It turned out to be a hidden wardrobe.

Markovsky tossed his clothes aside and continued walking, there was a door at the end of the lockroom, and he looked through the keyhole in the door. The woman was still standing in the darkness with the lamp, she thought for a moment, then turned on the light and blew out the lamp in her hand. Markovsky looked at the woman with no less astonishment than he had seen a magical world in a dream, and he quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from crying out.

"This woman turned out to be Yi Zuoda's daughter Yi Luoqi!"

He always thought that the woman he was tracking was a blonde beauty, but now that he saw it, he had turned into a brown-haired Yi Luoqi! What the hell is going on?
