In the end, Cheng Shi didn't find anything valuable here, so Cheng Shi and Deng Xin exited the master bedroom.
Then Cheng Shi and Deng Xin entered another side bedroom. As expected, this bedroom was Lei Ming's son's room.
In this room, Cheng Shi didn't find anything valuable except that things were arranged in a messy manner.
When Cheng Shi checked the bedroom, he also measured the area of the two bedrooms and found no secret rooms such as partitions.
Cheng Shi also tapped the floors of the two bedrooms back and forth, but no hollow sound came out.
Cheng Shi became confused, had he thought wrong again? This was just an ordinary residence.
Cheng Shi and Deng Xin searched several other rooms, but found nothing.
The two of them stood in the yard of Lei's house. Deng Xin looked at Cheng Shi who was closing his eyes in deep thought for a long time before saying helplessly.
"Brother Cheng, stop thinking about it, it seems there is really no problem here!"
Cheng Shi recalled in his mind all the actions of the two of them just now, as well as all the things in several rooms.
Cheng Shi didn't find any difference between these rooms. Except that the master bedroom was a little cold, there was nothing suspicious at all.
Cheng Shi was even more confused. The master bedroom was colder than other places. Maybe there was space underground and the heat from the floor was not transmitted up.
But he also tapped everywhere in the master bedroom, and there was no hollow sound. Could it be that the floor in the master bedroom was all solid? !
Cheng Shi thought of this and walked into the bedroom again. Cheng Shi then asked Deng Xin who followed him to lay some floor tiles in the middle of the bedroom.
Deng Xin was stunned for a moment, but instead of asking Cheng Shi, he took out a dagger from his arms and started to dig bricks along the cracks of the bricks.
Except that it was a little difficult to pick up the first piece, it didn't take long for Deng Xin to pick up a big piece. Only then did Cheng Shi tell Deng Xin to stop.
Cheng Shi looked at the soil under the floor tiles, poked it with a stick, and found that the ground here had been compacted.
Cheng Shi then took the dagger from Deng Xin's hand, then squatted down and dug with the dagger.
Deng Xin's dagger was quite sharp. It didn't take long for Cheng Shi to dig dozens of centimeters deep, and then the dagger struck a hard object.
Cheng Shi quickly stabbed a dozen times to loosen the soil below, and then dug out the soil below with his hands.
The two of them saw the blue slate exposed in the pit. Cheng Shi laughed when he saw this. Sure enough, there was something.
When Deng Xin saw this, she also became excited and quickly moved around the bedroom to find where the mechanism was.
Cheng Shi quickly stopped the excited Deng Xin and said, "Don't laugh, this thing is not in the bedroom. If the agency was in this bedroom, we would have discovered it long ago."
Deng Xin finally calmed down and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, it's definitely not in the bedroom, so where can it be?!"
Next, Cheng Shi and Deng Xin were in the yard, looking for things back and forth. They even went to the neighbor's house to search, but found nothing.
Cheng Shi couldn't help but frown. This Lei Ming was indeed a top craftsman. Where was the entrance to his secret room? !
Shouldn't the entrance to this secret room be far away? !
The two of them were a little tired after searching for so long. While Cheng Shi was sitting in the courtyard to rest, Deng Xin went to the toilet.
Seeing Deng Xin come out of the toilet, Cheng Shi's eyes lit up, he quickly got up and ran into the toilet, and came out disappointed soon after.
Cheng Shi's suspicion had not disappeared. He then looked next to the toilet, where there happened to be a round stone slab.
Although Western flush toilets were introduced to Shanghai, Xiamen and other places in China in 1911, they were only used by wealthy families.
Ordinary people still use traditional toilets. The British missionary McGonagall came to China in 1860 and wrote the book "Light and Darkness of Chinese Life".
Describing the situation of building toilets and collecting excrement, Mai Gaowao said that excrement is relatively high-quality and cheap, and is the best fertilizer used by farmers.
So, people would store their feces, then someone would collect it, transfer it to a central toilet for storage, and then transport it away regularly.
Cheng Shi walked straight to the stone slab, stretched out his hand to hold the rope tied on the stone slab, and then pulled the stone slab hard.
Cheng Shi pulled open the stone slab easily.
Then a smell of coal and stench came out. Cheng Shi looked down and saw a medium-sized tank containing a lot of feces.
Seeing this, Cheng Shi quickly pulled him back. Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he pulled hard to the right.
As a result, he didn't pull. Cheng Shi felt happy and quickly called Deng Xin who was standing aside to pull the slate with him.
The two of them used all their strength before the stone slab was slowly pulled open, and then they looked at the entrance of the cave.
The jar in the hole was missing, and the hole was obviously very deep, and it was pitch black deep inside.
Deng Xin and Cheng Shi looked at each other at this time, feeling a little bit dumbfounded that Lei Ming was such a powerful craftsman.
He actually used such a smelly mechanism in his own home. Even those collecting feces would probably not accidentally discover this mechanism. After all, this mechanism cannot be pulled by one person.
Cheng Shi then asked Deng Xin to go to Lei's tool room to get a set of ropes, and after tying them to the stone slab, Deng Xin stopped Cheng Shi who wanted to go down.
"Brother Cheng, let me go down. I don't know if there is anyone inside, so I'd better go down and explore the way first!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he didn't force it. Instead, he asked Deng Xin to load the bullets in his gun before letting Deng Xin climb down the rope.
After Deng Xin slid down, he found that the hole was only more than four meters deep. After he reached the bottom, he found that there was only an aisle in front of him that he could bend down to pass through.
After Deng Xin bent forward and walked more than ten meters, she saw a bright light as Deng Xin approached the entrance.
Slowing down his pace, he walked slowly to the entrance. He listened attentively at first, but did not hear anyone speaking for a long time.
Only then did he look inside. The space in the basement was not small, it was about the same size as the master bedroom above.
The basement was full of things, and there was a pungent medicinal smell. Deng Xin strolled in after seeing no one there.
As soon as Deng Xin walked in, a voice came from the corner on the right. Deng Xin quickly squatted down and pointed the gun at it.
As a result, what caught Deng Xin's eyes was a girl. The girl was being tied up, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth, and she was making a whimpering sound.
"Little girl, don't get excited yet, I'm not a bad person, I'm a detective from the patrol room!"
When Deng Xin was about to walk over, the girl became even more excited. When Deng Xin saw this, she stopped.
Deng Xin asked doubtfully: "Is there an agency here?!"
After hearing this, the girl nodded repeatedly.
Hearing this, Deng Xin frowned and was about to go back and ask Cheng Shi to come down. He couldn't help but think that Brother Cheng would have to face this agency when he came down.
Deng thought that Cheng Shi's physical fitness was not as good as his own, so he should solve the problem himself and then let Cheng Shi come down.
Of course, Deng Xin was not a brainless person. He pointed at a place towards the girl and said, "Is the agency here?"
The girl shook her head, and Deng Xin continued to test. The other party shook her head or nodded. After several tests, Deng Xin figured out the locations of all the mechanisms.
