Chapter 666: wooden house mezzanine

"No one noticed this house at first. Compared with other buildings, it was a bit too shabby. They thought it was for storing debris. Even..." Changfu said and glanced in Yin Chong's direction, "He didn't I know this is Wuhua’s place, but Master doesn’t know why he is so sure.”

"We have walked around the small wooden house. It is not big, and the depth is only about six meters. If there is any movement inside, we should not be able to hear it, but now it is indeed impossible to hear any movement. Another weird thing is that this house There is only this door, and there is no window, so you can’t see what’s inside.”

Jiang Lingxi stood at the door and looked inside.

  The light coming in from the door could only shine two or three meters, and it was blocked by a wooden screen.

 Further inside, it becomes dark like night.

 “Have you tried tying a rope to go in?”

"I tried," Changfu nodded. He was about to talk about the methods he had adopted. "Two people went in and videotaped the whole process. We agreed to pull out when the time was up. They walked around almost everywhere, but they didn't find anything. Nothing unusual, it’s just an ordinary house, it doesn’t look like anyone is living in it. This is a video taken at that time.”

Shen Yunqing took the phone and clicked the play button.

There are no lights in the house, so if you record while walking, you can only illuminate part of the room.

It is true as Changfu said, it is so empty that it doesn’t look like a place to hide people.

But it is quite clean, there is no dust on the floor and the few pieces of furniture.

There is nothing unusual in the video.

 But there must be something odd in this room.

Jiang Lingxi looked at Yin Chong who was standing in the corner.

"This wooden house is built here, and you have never seen Wuhua coming in and out from here?"

Yin Chong met Jiang Lingxi's cold eyes and nodded seriously, "Never. Wuhua's whereabouts have always been mysterious, even if we are inside the door, we rarely see her. And she is the absolute authority here, no one Dare to spy on her."

Jiang Lingxi thought of Three Cunning Rabbit Cave.

Or maybe there really is some secret hidden in this wooden house.

 “I want to go in and have a look.”

 Before Shen Yunqing was about to speak, "Tie the rope."

 Shen Yunqing: "Together."

Changfu on the side said: "...Boss, Miss Jiang..."

The next words were silently silenced by Jiang Lingxi's eyes as she looked over.

 “Where’s the rope?”

 Other people's eyes may have errors, so she has to go through it again with her own eyes.

“Didn’t the first two come out safely?”

 Changfu could not persuade him anymore.

Shen Yunqing took the rope, paused and wrapped it around Jiang Lingxi's waist, then wrapped it twice around his own waist, handed the other end to Chang Fu, and took the flashlight at the same time.

When the two of them were walking side by side and preparing to go in, Yin Chong moved his feet and then slowly retracted.

Even if he proposed to go in together to explore the secrets, no one would agree.

Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing only had one flashlight, so this time Shen Yunqing was in front, and Jiang Lingxi was half a step behind him.

 Going around the screen, it was the interior of the house they had seen in the video.

 At first glance, there is nothing unusual about it.

 “Look for a secret door.”

Shen Yunqing searched carefully on the floor and basic furniture, shook his head, "No."

Jiang Lingxi frowned and stood still in the middle of the wooden house.

It is impossible for people to disappear for no reason. There must be something they subconsciously ignore.

Moreover, it had been such a long time, so Wujue and Changying could not have known that this would make the people waiting outside worried, so they failed to report back. It could only be that they were trapped somewhere and couldn't get out.

 But there are no secret doors on the wall or on the ground...

 The flashlight light on the side suddenly swayed and shined upward.

 That’s right, the higher-ups haven’t checked it yet.

 Old beams are criss-crossed to support the ridge of the wooden house. From this point of view, the craftsmanship of this wooden house can be considered exquisite. It is all made of mortise and tenon joints without a single nail.

  Such craftsmanship can only be seen in some ancient buildings today.

 It is more familiar to Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing. The two of them raised their heads and watched the light of the flashlight passing through the beams one after another.

Shen Yunqing felt the rope around his waist being pulled suddenly.

 The light of the flashlight paused.

 He pulled it in the opposite direction to indicate that it was okay.

Just as he was about to continue taking photos of other places, he heard a soft shout from the side: "Don't move!"

 “Look at the beam next to it.”

Shen Yunqing looked over as he was told, and at the same time moved the light of the flashlight over, and soon realized something was wrong.

 “This beam seems a bit redundant.”

 “I think so too, but now, doesn’t excess mean eccentricity?”

Normally, Jiang Lingxi would have climbed up the furniture placed next to the wall, but now, she looked at her gloved hands and regretted giving up.

“Since there is nothing unusual inside the wooden house, let’s go take a look at the beams.”

Changfu's face was full of shame when he came in.

Go to Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing and admit your mistake honestly, "I was negligent."

 He had someone check it, but the check was not thorough at all.

 “I’ll go up and have a look.”

Changfu couldn't help grinding his teeth as he spoke. He had wasted more than four hours and still didn't know if Master and Changying were in danger.

 Shen Yunqing: "I'm with you."

Changfu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't persuade him any more.

God knows if there are any other doors behind this that are not easy to detect. The boss’s eyesight is much better than his.

Although Jiang Lingxi also wanted to follow, she didn't try to be brave and her hands wouldn't allow her.

We could only watch as the two people climbed up to the rafters wearing filming equipment.

The beams are not very high from the roof, so you can only stand on your waist after climbing up.

Soon, Changfu’s exclamation came from above.

"found it!"

"What?"

Shen Yunqing: "There is an angle between the inner wall and the outer wall, and there is a ladder going down."

Jiang Lingxi took a breath and suddenly felt that the wooden house looked like an ancient box.

  Most of the ancient boxes were designed with mezzanines to store some important and secret items.

 Only the designer and user of the box know how to open it.

And the box also has only one door and no windows.

Shen Yunqing's voice from above came again, "I'll go down with Chang Fu to have a look."

"careful."

Jiang Lingxi looked at the picture transmitted in real time on the flat screen beside her. Her side was Shen Yunqing's perspective.

 The stairs in the mezzanine are steep and narrow, so Changfu leads the way.

After going down almost twenty stairs, Jiang Lingxi calculated that the two of them had almost reached the ground and were descending.

  But within the light range, the stairs are still extending downward.

 “Has your breathing been affected?”

 “Fortunately, it should be connected to the ground, so I don’t feel stuffy.”

"That's good."

“The signal is weakening and the signal may be lost.”

As soon as he finished speaking and the stairs turned, Jiang Lingxi watched the screen on the tablet flash twice before returning to normal.

Chang Fu came over intermittently with a hesitant voice: "There seems to be a door down there!"
