Secret compartment
"That's right," Xiao Feng's eyes suddenly darkened, and his voice was a little low, "It's a pity that my handkerchief can kiss a girl's face." ”
Hongxiu ignored him and continued to look for clues.
"The place is so big after all, I have found all the places I need to find." Shen Yifei asked Xiao Feng, "Do you have any other ideas?" ”
Xiao Feng looked at it, "We have all looked for what should be searched, probably because we still have some places that we haven't checked carefully." ”
Hongxiu is not in a hurry, and it is estimated that she has read books for many years.
Xiao Feng's thinking is correct, but the murderer is several days earlier than them, and there are a lot of things to do in these days, and judging from the murderer's modus operandi, he is also a smart person, in this case, he also carefully checked the secret room, "Childe, I have an idea." ”
Hongxiu spoke softly, and Xiao Feng and Shen Yifei looked at her at the same time.
"We've been looking for a place that the murderer hasn't looked for, but we shouldn't blindly rely on the fact that the murderer hasn't found something, after all, so much time has passed, maybe when he kills the last person, the clue will come, but he knows where the thing is, but he can't take it, this possibility will also be there."
"Huh?" When Xiao Feng heard it, this was a new idea.
"The murderer knows where, but he doesn't know how?" Xiao Feng thought about it according to Hongxiu's thoughts.
"Maybe we should reorganize everything," Hongxiu said, "Suppose the woman who suddenly came from the Zhang family was a murderer, and the Zhang family received her, indicating that they knew each other, and when she met with Zhang Yi privately that day to ask for the so-called things, Zhang Yi refused, so she made a black hand, Zhang Yi died, and the things still did not land, so they began to coerce the Zhang family, and finally there was yesterday's scene." But people are always afraid of death, and there is a person in the Zhang family who still said the location of things in order to live, that is, the daughter of the Zhang family, but unfortunately after she finished speaking, she was killed by the murderer with a palm. And this can be seen from the place where she died and the way she died, she did not die with the rest of the Zhang family. ”
Hongxiu's analysis is very correct, "If we follow Hongxiu's thoughts, then the direction we will search next is the direction that the murderer has been looking for." And in order to narrow down the scope, according to the value of the Zhang family's value of this object, it is still related to the secrecy of the secret room. ”
After Xie Xiaofeng finished speaking, everyone started to search again, Hongxiu was the most sensitive to the secret room and the secret grid, and everyone relied on Hongxiu's eyes to guide them to find out.
"Come and take a look, it seems a little weird here." Hongxiu pointed to a dry well in the backyard of Zhang's house and said.
The dry well was overgrown with weeds, and all around it was crawling with vines, densely intertwined, like small green snakes.
Xiao Feng walked over and discovered the problem at a glance.
"It's weird indeed." Xiao Feng smiled, "The entire Zhang family is about to be turned over by the murderer, only there is no trace here, how could the murderer let this place go?" ”
The more cautious you are, the more flawed you are.
Shen Yifei was the fastest, with a light effort, he jumped into the dry well without hesitation, but it was pitch black under the dry well.
"What's going on with Brother Yifei?" Xiao Feng shouted from the well.
"The well is deep and dark."
Xiao Feng and Hongxiu looked at each other, and then jumped into the well together.
Thorn - the fire fold blows the fire, and the appearance of the bottom of the well slowly emerges.
Xiao Feng squatted on the ground and touched the soil, "This ground is very dry, it seems that there is indeed a ventilated place, let's look for a secret room or something." ”
Shen Yifei knocked on the wall, if it was hollow, it would make a very dull sound, knock knock-
"Knock knock—"
Xiao Feng listened, "It seems that this is it,"
"Do you need me to split it?" Shen Yifei asked.
"This is not good, the murderer also knows this place, I don't know if he is still here, we can't startle the snake for the time being."
Hongxiu also looked at the wall, "Generally, when the secret room is opened, there will be a mechanism, which will bulge or concave in places where it shouldn't be. Some rooms require a key to open, while others require a medium. ”
"There are no bumps here, but there are a lot of vines." Xiao Feng looked at it.
Hongxiu turned her eyes to look at the vine and found one that looked in a different direction from other vines, "Maybe this vine is the key, the direction of the general vine is from west to east, but this one is straight." ”
She tugged at her slender hand, and suddenly, all the vines moved.
Xiao Feng's brow froze.
The vines that had originally covered the walls slowly moved, revealing an empty wall.
The wall receded, and then a crack appeared in the middle, gradually opening.
In the quiet passage, it was still pitch black, and the cool wind blew out from it, and Hongxiu stretched out his hand to feel the strength of the wind.
"The wind is strong and cold."
"It looks like there's something out there, so you have to be careful." Shen Yifei walked in front, holding the fire fold in one hand and the big iron sword in the other, and his silver hair was heavy.
Hongxiu walked in the middle, Qiankun sleeves slowly spread out, flying with the wind, at first glance I thought she was a delicate and weak woman, I saw pity, but in fact, martial arts is one of the best masters in Murong Mansion.
If you underestimate her, you will definitely die a miserable death.
Behind the palace is Xie Xiaofeng.
Xie Xiaofeng didn't have a dignified demeanor, his steps were steady, and he still looked like a noble son.
As soon as they entered, the walls returned to their original state.
The passage is not long, Xiao Feng calculated that it was about eighty steps, about fifty meters, turned left and right, almost left Zhang's house, and finally saw a little light.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing if the murderer was here, but they were careful.
Shen Yifei blew out the fire and slowly approached the place where there was light.
It was a relatively small secret room, and the walls around it were all made of earth and stones, and there was a gap between the earth and stones, and a statue was placed in the place with its back to the door, three feet high, and the height of the entire secret room, as if the secret room was supported by it.
On both sides of the statue are two very long candles, the flame is bright, and at this time it is also half burned, and the secret room is shady and cool, but not damp.
There were many chests near the statue, irregular and chaotic, some full of piles, layer by layer, some of which were crooked, and some of which had even been poured out, revealing a large amount of treasure, and a book of ledgers and letters.
Xiao Feng looked at it, "There are dozens of boxes of treasures here, full of gold, silver and jewelry, priceless things, if you take out a box for disaster relief, you can make the victims eat for a year, no wonder the people of the Zhang family are so generous." ”
Murong Hongxiu picked up the ledgers scattered on the ground, "And the ledgers of the Zhang family's money for many years do look a bit too much." ”
"Come and take a look at this." Shen Yifei said.
