i'm not a detective

Chapter 20 The secret room, the real secret room!

"What did you find out?" Qing saw that Liuli was getting irritable, and her little face began to distort. The thing she hated most in her life was being tricked by others. "Have you found 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 or may not be related."

You bastard who deserves to be burned in hell for 1000 years!
Seeing that Liuli's fist was hardened, she tried her best not to push him to the ground and beat him up - I want to hold back, I'm an adult now, I'm a lady with both beauty and wisdom, I can't beat anyone, I can't beat anyone...

She counted from one to ten in her heart, and counted from ten to one before suppressing the evil fire, gritted her teeth and asked, "What exactly did you find?"

"A secret room."

Qing Jian Liuli was shocked: "A secret room?!"

"Yes, a secret room." Takeshi Qiyuan looked at the house and said casually, "Don't you feel it? The combined area of ​​several rooms on the second floor is not right, especially when compared with the first floor, and then compared with the appearance of the house After a while, does the feeling of something wrong get stronger?"

"Ah, this kind of thing...can you still feel it?"

"Of course." Takeshi Qiyuan tapped his forehead with his index finger, "The human brain receives information all the time and is active all the time, so sometimes the brain will still make you feel uneasy and feel that something is wrong even though the surrounding is calm, so It’s a genetic instinct to improve your focus, to focus your energy on thinking, to judge whether there is danger around you.”

After a pause, he added, "This kind of person whose brain is hidden and active is sometimes called a person with keen intuition."

Qing Jian Liuli suddenly said: "If you say it this way, I seem to be this kind of person..."

Qiyuan Wu looked at her speechlessly for a while, and said directly: "You are not, the premise of a keen intuition is to have a brain, you do not meet the requirements."

Seeing that Liuli's breath was heavy for a moment, she glared at Qiyuan Wu, and began to count again in her 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, now it was in front of her eyes!

I really didn't come here in vain today, and I didn't suffer in vain from this kid!

She immediately asked with great anticipation: "Where is the secret room?"

"Probably in the study on the second floor."

Takeshi Qihara recalled the layout of the second floor, built a model in his mind to compare with the appearance, then deduced it a bit, and set off immediately. Kiyoshi Ruri followed closely behind. When passing by the first floor, he found Hidakasi smoking in the kitchen. Okuno Taiji was on the phone, he hesitated and didn't call them.

I don't know if the secret room is directly related to Tominaga Yosuke's disappearance, maybe it's just a place where he keeps his valuables, so don't rush to call someone.

…………

Soon, she returned to the study on the second floor, and immediately looked left and right, trying to figure out where the entrance to the secret room was, but she couldn't find it, so she immediately asked, "Where is the entrance to the secret room?"

Takeshi Qiyuan can also deduce it by modeling and calculation, but it doesn't need to be so troublesome. He casually pulled out a small steel ball from the "Newton's pendulum" on the desk, and said with a smile: "Do you still have to ask such a simple matter? Try You'll know soon!"

While speaking, he put the small steel ball on the floor in the middle of the room, and saw the small ball standing still for a moment, then slowly rolling to the side of the bookshelf.

Qingjian Liuli's eyes lit up, and she shouted, "You don't need to explain, I know this method!"

Generally, secret rooms are remodeled, and additional reinforcement will be carried out, which directly causes the center of gravity to shift in the originally balanced house.When this happens, it doesn't matter if it takes a day or two, but after a long time, one side of the foundation will naturally sink, and a smooth ball will slowly roll.

You can't do this with heavy furniture like bookshelves alone, you need something even heavier like steel.

Of course, this also needs to be a normal house. The foundation is not stable or the dilapidated house that cannot even level the ground is not included. However, the house of Tominaga's house is of good quality, so this method will immediately work.

At least, that direction is the most suspicious.

Qing Jian Liuli immediately ran to the wall of the bookshelf, first pushed the bookshelf, then began to pick and pull the books, saying: "There must be a mechanism that can open the door, don't tell me, I can find it."

Takeshi Qiyuan stood by and waited, but after waiting for four or five minutes, Qing Jian Liuli couldn't find the so-called "door opening mechanism."

He couldn't take it anymore, and reminded: "You squat down, what's the use of you standing and flipping through the books, how can the secret room switch be hidden in such a conspicuous place, isn't Fuyong afraid of being accidentally touched by others?"

What she said made sense. Seeing Liuli, Qing quickly squatted down to look for it, but she refused to accept it and said, "It might be in a high place, and ordinary people wouldn't come across it."

"Every time Fuyong opens the door, he still needs to find a bench first?"

Seeing Liuli still not convinced, Qing muttered softly, "Maybe the switch is somewhere else, not necessarily in front of the secret room."

Qiyuan Wu was helpless, stretched out his foot and kicked, "Here, reach in and touch from here."

Qing Jian Liuli 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: "Hey, there is really a handle, I feel like I can pull it."

Then she looked at the place puzzled, "How do you know it's here? There's nothing special here!"

There were tiny burrs on the spines of several books there, and they should be rubbed occasionally. Of course, it was suspicious, but Qiyuan Wu didn't want to explain to her at the moment, and took two steps back and said: "Stop talking nonsense, try it out. try."

Qing saw that Liuli pulled the handle very obediently, feeling quite heavy, but after waiting for a while, there was no response, and was about to ask Qiyuan Takeshi again, when suddenly he heard a slight motor starting sound, and then the bookshelf in front of him fell silent. The beginning of the rise, presumably through the ceiling into some hidden space in the attic, was part of the remodel.

She stared dumbfounded at the rise of the bookshelf, revealing a door with an electronic combination lock, and said pleasantly, "I found it, there really is a secret room!"

Qiyuan Wu was not surprised. He looked carefully at the silver-white door, then at the nameplate under the code dial, and said thoughtfully: "It's not a secret room, it's a large safe, and it's made in Germany. It's anti-theft and fireproof. Gao... Well, for this model, you need to enter two sets of [-]-digit passwords, as long as any set of passwords is entered incorrectly three times, it will be completely locked."

"So it's just a safe?" Qing saw Liuli disappointed, "That's nothing special."

Takeshi Qiyuan was noncommittal: "It's very special. This kind of safe is rarely purchased by private individuals. Although it has high security and is relatively convenient to open, it occupies a large area and is too bulky. The price/performance ratio for private use is very low. In the bank, even in the bank's vault, why did Fuyong make such a big thing and put it at home?"

"Maybe he has some kind of rare treasure?" Qingjian Liuli pondered, "Maybe what the reporter saw wasn't an imaginary scene, but someone really asked him about the safe... No, since the area is so large, it looks like a small house. Same, it should be regarded as a secret room, and someone beat him badly, just to get the password of the secret room."

Then she carefully looked at the safe again, the curiosity in her eyes was almost overflowing, "I don't know what treasure is hidden in it, did those people get it?"

Qi Yuanwu also became interested at this moment, and said with a smile: "If you open it and have a look, you will know."

Qing Jian Liuli said depressedly: "It's easy for you to say, how do you open it? Isn't this a safe that only banks use? I guess the police will have to contact the manufacturer or just weld it open, right?"

"The password is set by people. As long as it is set by people, it will be easy to remember. This is an opportunity." Takeshi Qiyuan didn't care about Qingjian Liuli's words at all. He was full of interest, his hands were itchy, and he looked carefully at the bottom of each button on the dial. At the end, he said to himself, "Well, 8, 9, and 0 don't look worn. Are these three keys hardly used? Two sets of independent [-]-digit passwords, but the property inside belongs to Toyong alone. He There is no need to use mutual defense measures, and no two sets of unrelated passwords are used, which means..."

After he finished talking to himself, he raised his hand and began to enter the password, humming softly in his mouth, four long notes and one bar, with a slow and steady rhythm, a bit like an old nursery rhyme, but the tone is quite gloomy, "The crack in the door Babbling, babbling through the crack of the door, mother is laughing, mother is laughing, she keeps laughing without speaking; at the head of the village, barren rocks appear, turtles carry buckets on their backs, crows are calling..."

The tone of the voice was really gloomy. Seeing that Liuli shuddered subconsciously, then she reacted and said hastily, "Don't mess around, just in case the safe is completely locked..."

Before she finished speaking, Takeshi Qiyuan had already entered a set of passwords, only to hear a soft "ding" sound of the door lock, a green light turned on, and the faint sound of gears turning inside the door.

Qing Jian Liuli's eyes widened, and the password was correct!
Qiyuan Wu kept humming the tune, and continued to enter the next set of passwords. She finally realized: "It's that nursery rhyme, the weird nursery rhyme that appeared repeatedly in the old movie "Bone Village"! The numbered notation of nursery rhymes is the password!"

"You're still not stupid enough." After entering another set of passwords, Qiyuan Wu said with a smile, then turned the handle to let the door open automatically, and said with great interest, "Okay, let's see what treasure is inside." ..."

This time it was his turn to speak, and he only spoke halfway. As soon as the door opened a small crack, his expression suddenly changed. Look inward.

"What are you doing?" Qing saw that Liuli was puzzled, but immediately smelled the strong stench of blood, and when he looked into the "secret room", he became dizzy, turned his head and bumped into Qiyuan Wu's arms.

It was also fortunate that the collision suppressed her screams, otherwise the glass on the window would probably be shattered.

Shit treasure, there is a corpse inside, all the blood has been drained!
