Chapter 93 Clues
Both Xiao Muyan and Meng Lilun stared at the slowly opening stone door for a moment, and the cold wind suddenly gushed out from the door, blowing on the cheeks of the two of them. wide awake.

After the cold wind passed by, what greeted the eyelids was a different world.Behind this stone gate is an extremely spacious dark pavilion, the area of ​​this dark pavilion is about twice the size of all the houses of the gold and jade pawn shop that we just passed.

A tall luminous pearl hangs in the center of the dark pavilion. The luminous pearl emitting white light illuminates the originally pitch-black dark pavilion as if it were daytime, and clearly reflects every corner of the dark pavilion.

The three walls with Ye Mingzhu as the center are all lacquered wooden cabinets. The black cabinets on each wall are stacked in three layers. There are four rows of lacquered wooden cabinets on each wall. There are about twelve cabinets in total. .

Xiao Muyan stared slightly, and looked around, there were about 36 cabinets on three walls, and each cabinet was exactly the same, and the lacquered wood cabinet was as smooth as ink, and it was impossible to tell which one was which. The only small cabinet is a cabinet for storing Gu Lianxi's items.

Xiao Muyan looked around, and Dai Mei frowned slightly: "At first, I thought that as long as I brought the blood jade, I could get it without any hindrance, but now it seems that this gold and jade pawn shop has multiple traps, even if there is really one. Even with the blood jade in hand, I can't take out the items easily, and now I finally understand why this gold and jade pawn shop is easy to store but difficult to retrieve."

She has always liked to act quickly and accurately. When she was an agent, she would occasionally receive tasks from the organization to steal confidential documents. No matter how complicated and high-tech the mechanism was, she could crack it one by one. , I can't understand more and more what is the function of such a heavy door?
Xiao Muyan took two steps forward and knocked on the pitch-black wooden cabinet. The material of this lacquered wooden cabinet is quite special, and it is as hard as inkstone under the cold touch.

She turned her eyebrows and said what she was thinking: "In my opinion, all these settings are a bit redundant. If it is to prevent outsiders from stealing the items stored here, there is no need for such settings at all, and it takes a lot of time to retrieve them." It’s time for the customers. Could it be that we have to open these cabinets one by one?”

Meng Lilun smiled and said: "All of this is just a cover-up. Presumably the people in the gold and jade pawn shop are trying to prevent those who come with the key but are not the owner of the key from stealing it."

Xiao Muyan narrowed her eyes and asked: "But what you said is not right. If this is the case, even if my grandfather Gu Lianxi really came to pick up this item by himself, how would he know how to take it away?"

Meng Lilun pondered for a while and said: "Because the side of the pawn is not the place where the real item is retrieved at all, and the place where the real pawn is retrieved is also the entrance, so this heavy cover-up has been set up for the purpose of It’s just a way of cheating to snatch the deposit.”

"Under normal circumstances, even if the real owner of the deposit is really willing to give the key to someone else to retrieve the stored items, he must tell the secret to the owner, but you are in a special situation. I am afraid that Mr. Gu Senior has not had time to tell you about this matter."

A flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Muyan's eyes, and he said: "The pawn is also the pawn? If this is the case, why would the people in the gold and jade pawn shop do such unimaginable things? Is it just to confuse the fake pawn?"

Meng Lilun nodded and said: "That's about it. Firstly, it's to deceive the thugs who want to snatch the items from the pawnshop, and secondly, it's to prevent someone from really claiming the items. The owner of this gold and jade pawnshop is also a strange person. I will come up with such a method, and if there is a chance, I must meet for a while."

Xiao Muyan's eyes froze, she raised her eyes to look at Meng Lilun, a sharp light flashed in her eyes and said: "If your guess is true, then how did you know?"

Meng Lilun said with a secretive smile, "Secret."

Xiao Muyan glanced at Meng Lilun contemptuously, and said with a cold tone on purpose: "Okay, okay, you just live with your secret, anyway, I believe I will find out this secret sooner or later."

Meng Lilun lowered his eyes and smiled, shook his head, his eyes were overflowing with affection and said: "Yan'er, I really have nothing to do with you, even if I just want to tease you, I still have to surrender first. You might as well tell the truth You. I just suddenly remembered that a friend once mentioned about the gold and jade pawn shop. Although he didn’t say it clearly, he said that when you go out, you get into the pawnshop. So I just remembered this sentence and judged that this is the case. .”

Xiao Muyan's ears moved slightly, and her eyes narrowed slightly, "Meng Lilun, do you feel..."

"what?"

Xiao Muyan groaned for a while, and scanned the corners with her nimble eyes, as if looking for something, said in a deep voice: "Do you feel that someone seems to be staring at us in the dark?"

Meng Lilun's crow-colored robe flashed, and he moved to Xiao Muyan's side calmly, leaned slightly, and his low-pitched words came from his frivolous lips, ringing in Xiao Muyan's ear: "I also I noticed it, and this person seems to have been watching us secretly since we entered this gold and jade pawn shop, but it can be judged that this person is not the one who has been following us all the time."

Xiao Muyan thought for a while, and said vigilantly: "Could it be that this person is a person from the gold and jade pawn shop, not to observe us in secret, but to observe everyone who enters this gold and jade pawn shop in secret?"

The corner of Meng Lilun's lips twitched, and he said in a calm tone: "I hope so, and not for other purposes, but no matter what his purpose is for coming here, if he likes to watch, let him watch as much as he wants. , I think he will show up sooner or later."

Xiao Muyan smiled slightly and said: "You are calm, but since I have you as an extraordinary partner, I believe that no matter what kind of people or dangers I encounter, you will resolve them, and I am happy to be at ease."

Meng Lilun said with a thick-skinned smile, "Yan'er, if you are complimenting me, I will accept the compliment. This seems to be the first time you have praised me."

Hearing this, Xiao Muyan was stunned for a moment, looking at Meng Lilun's natural look, he felt dumbfounded for a moment, he really was a cheeky rascal with a black belly!Thicker than the skin of the city wall!Rare in the world, unique!
She stabilized her mind, squinted at every corner from the corner of her eye, turned her eyes to Meng Lilun and said, "Since we have found the clue, let's not stop here and waste time, go to the entrance to check it out." fan."
