Chapter 5 Closed Villa (3) Secret Passage Behind the Painting

Ye Xiao acquiesced to Feng Yu's reasoning, and he stretched out his knuckled hand to fumble on the album.

Finally, the knuckle of his index finger came to rest on the mask of the masked man in the painting. The blue finger on Mr. Ye's thumb was particularly eye-catching.

Press down with your palms and press lightly on your joints.

The huge painting slowly moved to the left, and the smell of dust and decay hit their faces. The two of them took a few steps back, and a dark corridor was revealed in front of them.

Out of caution, Ye Xiao did not leave any fingerprints.

Feng Yu took out the candle that was extinguished when he came in from his pocket. The thick gloves were still there, which happened to be convenient for holding the candle.

Ye Xiao stretched out his hand to Feng Yu: "I'll do it."

Raising his head to look at the tall man in front of him, and looking at Ye Xiao's firm eyes, Feng Yu finally nodded and handed the candle to the neighbor.

Ye Xiao returned the lighter to Feng Yu, then walked forward holding the candle. He took out the dagger he had hidden earlier, and Feng Yu also took out the knife and followed closely.

The door of the dark room slowly closed. Feng Yu found a button on the side of the wall. With a slight press, the door opened again.

After confirming that they went out correctly, the two began to explore.

Surrounded by mossy rock walls, the pits were mixed with red marks. Small spiders climbed everywhere, including a large hairy spider.

Feng Yu was so frightened that he shrank in front of Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Afraid of spiders?"

"What woman is not afraid of this thing? Huh, especially this big furry, dark spider on the wall..." With a clever move, Feng Yu was numb from his back to his scalp:

"A woman who is not even afraid of spiders must be a more powerful warrior than winning the Star Grand Slam."

Ye Xiao smiled silently and walked on the side leaning against the wall: "It might be better if we walk in the middle. I'll hold the candle to keep them away."

Feng Yu measured the distance to the left and right of the stone wall, and she walked exactly in the middle.

The appearance of the big hairy spider from before is still engraved in Feng Yu's mind.

The road at the end of the corridor is divided into two parts, left and right, distributed in a "T" shape, one side is a downward staircase, and the other side is a straight corridor that does not know what there is.

On both sides, there was endless darkness beyond the reach of the candlelight.

Below the stairs is the basement.

This is a place only "murderers" can enter.

The two of them had no intention of going to the basement to commit suicide, and they quickly came to the end of another straight corridor.

A white card lay there quietly, with a line of words written in red on the white paper:

Hint to the identity of the murderer - the pretender.

……

It was already eleven o'clock when Feng Yu and Ye Xiao walked out of the secret room, and most of the people had already gathered in the hall, except for the woman in the floral skirt.

Seeing the two people coming out of the secret room, everyone was surprised, especially the optimistic young boy.

His eyes were focused on the painting and could not leave it for a long time.

The old lady stuttered a little: "Is there a secret passage behind this painting? I thought it was just a painting of us."

Feng Yu nodded: "Yes, one side is the basement where only killers can go, and the other half has nothing but a card."

The girl in the sweatshirt wearing a mask became interested: "What's written on it?"

"Pretender, the murderer is a pretender, the two of us can testify to each other," Feng Yu shrugged:

"Of course, if the killer got there before us, the killer could have forged the card and gone down to the basement and pulled out something."

"But judging from the footprints in the dust on the ground, if the murderer is not able to climb over walls and climb over walls, then he may not have entered the secret passage."

Feng Yu's words were undoubtedly a blockbuster, and she really wanted to test everyone's reaction.

As expected, everyone fell silent.

At this moment, the woman in the floral skirt walked down shakily, her stumbling steps interrupted everyone's silence.

The woman's face was pale, and her previous fear seemed to have worsened a lot.

The tall sunny boy enthusiastically ran forward to help her and slowly helped her onto the seat.

Judging from the boy's cautious and suspicious movements, they were not in a relationship.
