Feiluzhai is a building with a history of nearly 350 years, retaining the original style and characteristics of the late Ming Dynasty. Every brick, every wooden beam, every piece of blue tile gives people a sense of history.
Li Mo walked into Feiluzhai. It was winding inside, with corridors, ancestral halls, pools, and various rock scenery. There were also several kinds of flowers blooming along the corners.
"Professor Li, this Feiluzhai is divided into two courtyards, the front and rear. The front courtyard is open to the public for tourists to visit. The backyard is the space where the owner lives."
A plainclothes policeman whispered from the side.
"Have you ever come in and felt the bottom of it?"
"No, we have only heard some rumors that Zhou Jiadong has a special status this time and has an unusual relationship with some official people."
What this plainclothes policeman said was interesting, but he just made it clear that officials and gangsters were colluding.
Li Mo smiled. There was nothing to see in the front yard, so he walked directly to the back yard. They came to an iron door with four large red letters saying 'no entry' on the wall next to it.
The brown bear took out two things from his pocket and quickly unlocked the door.
"This craft is a bit unfamiliar. I remember that the fastest opening record for such an ordinary lock is four seconds."
Several people entered the backyard, which had a huge courtyard with the same layout as a Kyoto courtyard. There was a grape trellis set up in the courtyard, which was already full of fruits. There was a stone coffee table and four small stone benches below. A black-haired cat was sleeping on it. When it heard the noise, it was frightened and ran away.
"I actually have several black cats." Chen Xiaojun pointed to a few black cats hiding in a corner not far away.
"It's used to ward off evil spirits. That Zhou Jiadong has done too many immoral things and has evil intentions in his heart."
Li Mo looked around outside and found no useful clues. Several people entered all the rooms one after another and searched. As expected, as the boss Hu said, no useful clues were found in Feiluzhai.
"Boss, do you want to go to the old yard next door and have a look?"
"There are no clues here. We must go in next door and take a look. There is an iron gate in the outer courtyard leading to the abandoned old courtyard next door. Let's go in that way." On the way here, Li Mo observed more carefully, Fei Luzhai There was no secret room hidden either overtly or covertly, so the only possibility was the old courtyard next door.
A group of people exited the backyard and then entered a deserted path through the side door of the front yard. At the end of the path was an iron gate. Through the small door, Li Mo led a few people into the old courtyard next door. The ground of this courtyard is covered with green bricks, and some leaves are floating. The overall look is very clean and tidy. Someone should come in to clean it frequently.
There is a well in the corner of the old yard, and there are various rockeries lined up there, with running water on it. The water is driven by various machines, and the sound of water rushing can be heard from a distance.
"Uncle Junior, do we want to enter the room to check first?"
"Don't worry, look around the yard first. Be careful, you may encounter some mechanism. Don't be reckless if you find any abnormality, and remind each other in time."
"clear."
The four people looked around excitedly, while Li Mo walked directly towards the well. He had already looked at it with the alien just now. He wanted to see the situation directly below through perspective, but to his surprise, his view was blocked by a thick steel plate.
It wouldn't be a problem if he used all his power to see through, but the alien child's energy would be consumed too quickly, which would be detrimental to subsequent actions. It can also be guessed from this that Zhou Jiadong must have done a very large concealment project under the old yard, otherwise there would not be one or more layers of steel plates throughout.
The well was about seven or eight meters deep and had no water. It turned out that a set of sewage equipment was installed at the bottom of the well.
"This well is actually one of the entrances."
In Li Mo's eyes, the overall shape of the well is small in diameter and large in belly. When people reach the bottom of the well, they will see a row of steps, and the entrance is on the well wall.
The surrounding rockeries are nothing fancy, just an ordinary flowing water landscape. If you want to find out, you can only go down from the wellhead. Li Mo looked around and saw that there should be entrances elsewhere. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to go down from the well mouth every time. After all, it was suspended in the air and there was no focus.
"Boss, everything is fine."
The brown bear walked up to Li Mo, specifically stretched his head to look into the well, and then retracted his head. He didn't find anything weird.
Chen Xiaojun and two plainclothes policemen also came to the side. Perhaps it was just a subconscious act. They all stretched their heads to look at the well, and then waited for Li Mo's arrangements.
"Let's go into the room and take a look."
Li Mo didn't say anything and walked into the house with four people. Sure enough, someone has lived here for a long time. The house is clean and everything is neatly placed. Especially the furniture is made of Hainan huanghuali wood, which is very oily and has been around for a long time.
"Boss, these furniture are worth a lot of money, right?"
"As for the complete set of furniture in this house, I guess there is nothing that cannot be purchased for three million."
The two plainclothes policemen who followed in looked at each other with surprise on their faces. Can these furniture be worth so much?
"That's not expensive. Any piece of Ming furniture in my uncle's hands costs over a million."
"Okay, everyone, look carefully to see if there is anything unusual."
Li Mo Yitong glanced around and finally landed on the huanghuali wood bed in the bedroom. He walked over and lifted up the quilt, reached out and pressed heavily on a slightly raised spot in the corner. He only heard a kacha sound, and then saw a wooden board being slowly pushed up.
"There is a mechanism."
The brown bears and the others immediately surrounded him, and a hole was revealed under the wooden plank, with steps extending downward.
"Boss, I'll go down and check first."
Li Mo grabbed the brown bear's arm and said with an ugly face: "Back off, everyone, step back immediately."
Seeing his solemn expression, the brown bear couldn't help but shudder, and he and Chen Xiaojun pulled the other two people back slowly. Li Mo waited until they were two meters away before picking up a solid wood stool at hand and throwing it in.
The solid wood stool hit the first step, and suddenly a sharp and harsh sound broke through the air, and short arrows were shot out from below the hole. The power of those short arrows was very strong, like a goddess scattering flowers. One by one, they were nailed to the solid wood beams on the top, and at least half of them were deeply embedded in the wood.
Three waves were fired, at least hundreds of short arrows were fired in just ten seconds.
After all, Li Mo had already discovered the first mechanism below and was prepared, but Brown Bear and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. If any of them had gone down first, they would have been shot into a hedgehog by now, and their whole bodies would probably be covered in blood holes.
When shooting at such a close range, the power of a short arrow is sometimes even more powerful than a gun.
"Which of you dares to go down and check now?"
Li Mo turned his head and grinned at the four of them. They looked at each other, no one dared to take the lead easily.
"Boss, it's dangerous down there. Should we look for the control agency first?"
"No need, give me a flashlight."
Li Mo took the flashlight from the brown bear and came to the entrance of the cave. He did not step directly on the first step, but stepped on the second step.
"It's okay if you go down to the even-numbered floors. I'll go down and take a look first. You all stay here."
"Boss, I'll go down with you."
The brown bear grabbed Chen Xiaojun and quickly followed.
