Fortunately, after this incident, the depression in Hao Gang's heart was relieved a lot.

Soon, he was shocked by the porcelain shards and moved forward again.

This time, although the speed of his feet did not increase by a few points, he was able to avoid various broken pieces of porcelain.

It was obvious that Hao Gang was gradually relaxing now.

Not long after, the three finally went deep into the room and came further inside.

The change in position also caused a change in perspective.

Finally, the previous blind spots were seen one by one.

This situation made the pressure and fear of the three people weaken again.

At Hao Gang's signal, the three temporarily released their formation and began to disperse and search the entire room.

Among them, Hao Gang walked towards a wall in three or two steps.

Just now at the door, when I saw the marks on the wall through the gap, I felt that it was not simple.

Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

The scratches were nearly three fingers deep, and the masonry under the board could even be seen.

And the length? It's also a full twenty centimeters.

Looking at it now, calling it a scratch is completely wrong.

These are not designated at all.

It was struck by a weapon such as an axe.

The person who caused all this is extremely powerful.

Because, there were the same hacking marks on a piece of furniture next to it.

Even not far away, a sturdy solid wood table was split in half.

People with this kind of destructive power must have physical strength beyond ordinary people.

Now it seems that there should have been a violent fight in the room, or it was a one-sided battle.

Things were scattered and broken furniture was everywhere.

Dried blood can always be seen near the traces of battle.

It's not like natural flow, it's obviously caused by splashing.

These blood stains indicated that someone must have been seriously injured.

Unfortunately, based on the information currently obtained, the identities of both parties in the battle cannot be known.

However, there is a painting that can give Hao Gang some other information.

It was a portrait, split in half during the battle, almost shattering on the ground.

Fortunately, I can barely see the situation.

It was a middle-aged woman, who must be the owner of this room.

According to previous information, the owner of the mansion should be around 50 years old, so this apparently middle-aged woman may be his wife.

However, in this trial environment, it is not safe to draw a direct conclusion.

Therefore, even though he had a rough guess, Hao Gang remained cautious and searched the room with the other two people.

Finally, Wei Jianye found something related to this in the drawer of a smashed bed cabinet.

It was one letter after another from home, and the last name was Su.

The content is mostly about complaining to your parents' family about how bad your life is.

The appearance of these letters can basically confirm one thing.

Although I don’t know what happened, this room does belong to the wife of the owner of the mansion.

Thinking of this, Hao Gang put down the letter and continued to act.

After a while, the three of them completed the search of the room.

There was nothing left and no further intelligence.

And like this, there was no point in staying any longer, so he left the room.

Under the leadership of Hao Gang, they moved slowly to the door of the second room.

Since they didn't encounter any danger, the three of them were not as worried as they were just now.

Hao Gang naturally stretched out his hand, grasped the handle and opened the door.

Different from just now, the scene in the room he saw now was completely different from the first one.

This is a bright red color, a woman's boudoir, and there are no traces of previous fights.

The decoration and furniture of the entire room looked much richer than the first one.

After all, the room just now looked similar to that of a servant, very simple.

But this room is completely different. All the utensils are inlaid with gold and silver.

After reading this, Hao Gang turned around and looked at the two people behind him, then waved his hand and entered the room directly.

Because they were cautious and experienced in the previous room, they did not hesitate for too long this time.

As soon as they entered the room, the three of them split up and started searching efficiently.

Soon, many things used by unmarried women were found.

It also indirectly proves that this room is the boudoir of the daughter of the owner of the mansion.

After a thorough search, they finally found the remains.

It was deep in the room, in a closet.

Hao Gang discovered that there was an obvious problem with the depth of the wardrobe drawers.

So, after a second inspection, he discovered the hidden storage space.

Inside, is a letter.

Distortion, disorder, blur, black and white tones.

These features that are incompatible with its surroundings prove that it is a relic.

Confirming this, Hao Gang reached out to open the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.

However, because it is a relic, the fonts on it are blurry and shaky, making it impossible to see the content inside.

Seeing this scene, Hao Gang frowned.

He couldn't even read words well, and he couldn't tell what was written in the blurred fonts.

So, the man handed the letter to his brother Hao Tie.

The latter took the letter, walked to the window in a few steps, put it under the light, tilted his head and looked at it carefully.

But after a while, I still didn't see the reason.

Finally, Hao Tie showed a look of helplessness on his face.

"Brother, the handwriting is too blurry, and there's nothing I can do about it."

After saying that, he handed the letter to his side.

Beside him, Wei Jianye had been curious for a long time.

He reached out and took a look at it immediately.

However, compared to Hao Tie, he had less time. He handed it back to Hao Gang within a few glances.

Hao Gang shook his head and put the letter away.

Then he waved his hand and asked to leave the room.

However, after the two people stepped out of the door, he frowned and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Brother." Outside, Hao Tie asked with a little doubt when he saw this.

Hao Gang looked at the room cautiously and explained to his brother: "I always feel like there is something missing in this room."

Hearing this, Hao Tie took a few steps toward the door and looked inside.

Then, he counted the furniture and supplies one by one:

"Table, stool, dressing table, brother, nothing, nothing is missing."

"No. There's a problem!" Hao Gang shook his head slightly, crossed his arms and looked at the room decoration in deep thought.

At this moment, Wei Jianye's slightly urging voice came into the room from outside:

"Hey, if we keep putting it off like this, we'll run out of time. You don't think that we won't be able to finish searching this house before noon."

Yes, time is indeed a bit tight.

When time was involved, Hao Gang had to stop and think.

Although there were still some questions in my mind, I could only leave the house and close the door with my hand.

On the contrary, looking at his brother's sad face, Hao Tie was still a little curious: "What's wrong inside?"

Hao Gang touched his nose, resumed his formation, and said with a wry smile: "I always feel like there is something missing in this room, but I can't explain it clearly."

"After all, you're not a detective or a police officer. We can't figure out the reason. Let's go to the next room."

After the words fell, the three of them took action again, swept away the distracting thoughts in their minds, and headed to the third room.

Soon, Hao Gang, who came to the door, stretched out his hand, grasped the doorknob and slowly applied downward pressure.

With a click, the door lock opened, revealing a narrow door crack.

He pressed the muzzle of the gun against the door as usual and slowly opened the gap.

Searching the room all the way, I became more and more skilled at this action.

Therefore, it is obviously much faster than before.

But just after opening a small gap, Hao Gang's body suddenly froze, and then he coughed twice.

As a team formed together, both Hao Tie and Wei Jianye knew what two coughs meant.

This was last night, as they had agreed, and they found a dangerous signal.

Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound, the two people's bodies quickly tensed up, with expressions of alertness on their faces.

Among them, Wei Jianye looked cautiously at the corridors on both sides, and instinctively raised the muzzle of his gun slightly.

However, after two light coughs, if you really confirm the direction of danger, you should continue to sound and remind again.

But Hao Gang just kept changing his angle to look through the crack in the door.

"What's going on?" Wei Jianye, who was at the end of the team, was inevitably curious and lowered his voice to ask.

"It's weird." Hao Gang didn't look back, carefully observed through the crack in the door, and explained to him, "The difference is huge."

After saying that, he stretched the muzzle forward and slowly pushed the door open.

Now, the scene inside is gradually revealed.

The three people immediately had strange expressions on their faces, and Hao Tie couldn't help but take a few steps back.

I saw dense white insect eggs covering the floor of the room, which looked sticky and disgusting, with black larvae vaguely wrapped under the white shell.

Moreover, not only the ground, but also the walls are adsorbed with many of these insect eggs.

Moving his eyes upward, he saw large spider webs in the corners next to the ceiling, one after another.

In the room, the wooden furniture was very old and covered with dust.

If you look closely, you can see that the surface is full of pits, obviously eaten by insects.

In fact, some have already formed bacterial colonies and look green and black.

Obviously, it wasn't just that it had been left for a long time, but that the environment it was in was also extremely humid.

After all, after the door was opened, a stench spread from the inside out.

When the three of them smelled the smell, they all showed disgust, and then held their breath.

However, even in such harsh conditions, they continued their search.

Quickly, Hao Gang turned around and looked at the two people behind him. He adjusted his breathing and slowly got used to the stench.

Immediately, the man waved back and took the lead to enter.

Of course, in just the first step, you accidentally touch the eggs.

There was a 'pop' sound from under my feet, and a lot of viscous yellow liquid flowed out from the soles of the shoes.

Inside, there were even broken insect larvae.

Inside the door, Hao Gang immediately raised his feet and stepped back to observe the soles of his feet.

Fortunately, although they were covered with yellow liquid and broken insect egg shells, the shoes were not corroded.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.

After a while, the three of them stirred up layers of spider webs and penetrated deep into the room.

Compared to the previous two rooms, the search started more slowly.

There is no way, in such an environment, it is really difficult to speed up.

After all, most utensils are covered with thick insect eggs and spider webs.

Every movement in the room needs to be extremely difficult.

Not to mention, you have to endure the stench and strong physical discomfort.

Finally, ten minutes later, the room was almost turned upside down.

The state is very poor, so help me pick out the typos.
