Shen Shouzhong and Xiaohui were both surprised when they heard this. Shen Shouzhong asked, "When did he leave?!"
Cheng Shi continued: "It was when you discovered that he was missing and sent people everywhere to look for him that he left here!"
Shen Shouzhong said with certainty: "This is impossible. After Xiaohui informed me that the young master was missing, I came here directly.
There is no hiding place in this room. How could he leave this place only after I evacuated people! "
Shen Shouzhong paused and then said: "You don't mean to say that he is hiding behind the door and will leave after we leave, do you?"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "How is this possible? How can such a trick be successful? It's not like there's only one person watching here!"
Xiaohui did not untie the seal and said: "According to what you said, the young master left when we were looking for him, so where has the young master been hiding?
I am very familiar with this house. The only places where people can be hidden are under the bed and bookcases. But I have looked for them all and found nothing, so I went to find Butler Shen. "
Cheng Shi did not speak, but closed his eyes and began to recall everything in the room, looking for any suspicious points.
In fact, Cheng Shi didn't know how Master Tan left. Unless all eight people were lying, otherwise, why was there no movement at all.
Therefore, he was very sure about the inference that Master Tan left without anyone noticing when everyone was looking for him.
After thinking about it, Cheng Shi opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Very good, I have already thought of where he was hiding at that time.
Now I would like to ask you two to go out first. When I ask you two to come in, you two will come in again. When you go out, please close the door! "
The two of them were confused by Cheng Shi's words, but Shen Shouzhong took Xiaohui out of the room and closed the door.
After the two waited for a while, they heard a dull voice coming from inside: "Come in and see if you can find me."
The two then pushed the door open and went in, only to find that Cheng Shi was not in the room, and the room was unchanged from before.
Shen Shouzhong stood at the door, and with a thought in his mind, he said, "Just follow the method you used to find the young master, and find him again!"
After hearing this, Xiaohui started to look for it, while Shen Shouzhong stood at the door, looking around without taking a step.
He looked in all directions, even the beams above his head, but after Xiaohui's search ended, the two still didn't find Cheng Shi.
Xiaohui walked back to Shen Shouzhong and said, "Butler Shen, this is how I looked for the young master when he disappeared.
But I didn't notice it at all. Look, that person has left the room. Otherwise, there is really no hiding place! "
Shen Shouzhong nodded in agreement. He also trusted his eyes. After all, he just stood here motionless and looked around.
He was afraid that the other party would change his hiding place and avoid Xiaohui's search alone, but he found nothing.
And he even looked at the roof, because it was on the first floor and the beams were only as thick as a thigh, so it was impossible to hide people.
Only then did he agree. Xiaohui asked if Cheng Shi had already left the room, but at this time.
Cheng Shi's voice came out again: "I didn't leave, I'm still in the room!"
The two of them were startled when they heard this, and then they looked in the direction of the sound, but they saw nothing.
Both of them were a little frightened at this time. Shen Shouzhong was okay and said bravely: "Agent Cheng, where are you?!"
Cheng Shi's voice came out again: "I'm right in front of you, can't you see it?"
Shen Shouzhong was already sure that the sound came from the other side of the bed, but he didn't see anything anywhere.
He hurriedly ran over, lay down under the bed, and looked down, but there was still nothing. Then he said sweating profusely.
"Agent Cheng, where are you hiding? Why can I only hear your voice but not see your person!"
Just after Shen Shouzhong finished speaking, he heard Xiao Hui's surprised voice: "Ah! It turns out that the young master was hiding here yesterday!"
Shen Shouzhong stood up and found Cheng Shi sitting on the young master's bed. Shen Shouzhong was surprised and said quickly.
"Where did Agent Cheng hide just now? Why couldn't I see you, but you suddenly appeared on the young master's bed?!"
Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "I was on the bed just now, but you couldn't see it. If you don't believe me, just ask Xiaohui!"
Shen Shouzhong then looked at Xiaohui and said, "What on earth is going on?!"
Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, then said: "I don't know either, I just saw the bed move, and Agent Cheng appeared on the bed."
Shen Shouzhong looked at Cheng Shi in surprise, and then said, "What the hell is going on!"
One thing to say here is that you may have seen the bed in the Republic of China in movies and TV dramas. It was a bed with a mosquito net-like bed.
The Tan family is a wealthy family, and the young master's bed is not really a child's bed, but a bed that an adult can lie down on.
There are round wooden sticks on top of the corners of the bed, forming a small, closed space. This is the shape of the bed.
Cheng Shi heard Shen Shouzhong's question and lay flat on the bed again. He began to slowly pull up the silk thread in his hand.
Soon a flat bed appeared in front of Shen Shouzhong, because it was still winter and the bed was very thick.
Cheng Shi was lying on the innermost part of the bed. It turned out that he folded the bottom two layers of blankets in half and stacked them on top of each other.
There was a hole for hiding in the innermost part, and the first layer of bedding was used to cover his body, and then the bedding was pulled flat with the silk thread in his hand.
In this way, Cheng Shi disappeared on the bed. At first glance, apart from the flat bed, there was only a quilt that was lifted casually!
Shen Shouzhong opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, witnessing all this, he could not say a word now.
Cheng Shi then opened his bed again and walked out, saying, "But now Butler Shen understands, when you are looking for the young master.
He has been hiding here. If you don't pay attention, he will change into your servant's clothes and leave here easily! "
After hearing this, Shen Shouzhong came back to his senses, sighed and said: "Although this hiding method is simple.
But even if I think about it, I can't figure it out. And how did Agent Cheng find out about the young master's hiding method? ! "
Cheng Shi continued: "Before I came in, I assumed that what your men said was true, and that Master Tan had been hiding in the room.
But there were not many hiding places in the room. When I came in, I thought Master Tan was hiding on the top of the bed.
Then he discovered that firstly, he couldn't reach the four corners of the bed, and secondly, a young master like him probably didn't have that strength. "
