I am a super cop
Chapter 1770 The Secret Room [2 in 1 Chapter]
Chapter 1770 The Hidden Room【Two Chapters in One】
Inside the office.
He only heard Lu Weiwei babbling on the other end of the phone for a long time before hanging up reluctantly.
Police officer Wang asked with a confused face: "By the way, who is this caller? It looks like you know him very well. Is that King?"
After all, I also heard Lu Weiwei mention it from time to time, so Officer Wang was quite curious.
"Yeah." Lu Weiwei was full of joy, and said involuntarily, "It's the thank you call from King."
"How is King now? He was sent to the hospital in a coma before, and I don't know his latest state." Gu Chen thought that after King was injured that night, the injured part was his head, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
But Lu Weiwei waved her hand and said, "Junior Brother Gu, don't worry, King is recovering very well now, and when he heard that you helped him lead the team to win the game that night, he couldn't believe it."
"He called this time mainly to thank you, and he also wants to tell you a piece of good news about the basketball park."
"Where will the basketball park go?" Gu Chen thought of this, and couldn't help but think of what happened after he led the team to win the game that night.
That is the ultimate match, it will be between Zhou Zhengnan and Liu Xiangbei, so she asked Lu Weiwei again: "It's about the PK between Zhou Zhengnan and Liu Xiangbei, right? Is the time set?"
"No." Lu Weiwei shook her head, and said with a smile, "But Junior Brother Gu, don't worry, what King said is that Zhou Zhengnan seems to have voluntarily given up on the basketball park project."
"Give up?" He Junchao heard the words, and also leaned over and said, "I said Lu Weiwei, this is unlikely, right? After all, who is Zhou Zhengnan? You and I saw it at the scene that day."
"The basketball park is an imperative. Why would you give up suddenly? Isn't that Zhou Zhengnan's turnaround to save his performance?"
"I don't know either." Lu Weiwei scratched the back of her head, also puzzled and said, "But King told me that the project suddenly had a strong intervention from the Yuan Group."
"The Zhengnan Group can't handle it for a while. Not only that, Yuan's Group is also facing each other on several other important projects with the Zhengnan Group."
"I guess some kind of deal may have been reached between Zhengnan Group and Yuan's Group, for example, Yuan's Group withdrew from several other projects, and then Zhengnan Group gave up the basketball park project. My latest statement."
Lu Weiwei was also very puzzled, after all, Zhengnan Group's project was imperative according to what Junchao He said.
But when you suddenly met the Yuan Group, you were scared?
Yuan Shasha also smiled when she heard the words: "Perhaps the Yuan Group has also taken a fancy to this good project, and plans to jointly develop something, maybe it will also be built into a commercial center."
Looking at everyone, Yuan Shasha said again: "This is just a change of developer. The land of the basketball park may be what it should be."
"Xiao Yuan, you guessed wrong this time." Seeing that Yuan Shasha seemed to understand, Lu Weiwei still retorted:
"I heard from King that Yuan's Group took this land because they wanted to continue operating the basketball park and add more cultural and creative elements to develop this basketball park into a basketball theme park."
"In this way, it is tantamount to upgrading the existing hardware facilities of the basketball park, but the overall basketball park is still preserved without much change."
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Yuan's Group won the land of the basketball park just to increase the park's cultural and creative investment?" He Junchao thought he heard it wrong.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that directly developing this piece of land into a commercial center may make Yuan's Group a lot of money.
But now Yuan's Group not only does not demolish the basketball park on the spot, but even builds a basketball-themed cultural park?
This kind of good thing feels like a pie falling from the sky.
But if this is another company, He Junchao feels that it must be the case.
However, the word-of-mouth of Yuan's Group is also well-known in the industry.
Thinking about it this way, it feels like this pie might be real.
"This is very strange." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen also frowned, and questioned:
"The timing of the Yuan's Group's move is just right. It seems that when we need someone to intervene, the Yuan's Group just appeared."
"And when we just need to keep the basketball park, Yuan's Group is going to upgrade and renovate this land to enrich cultural and tourism elements."
"All of this is just right, and it feels good. Is there someone helping behind?"
"Which expert is that?" Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, scratching the back of her head, guessing:
"Junior Brother Gu, maybe it's an executive from the Yuan Group, who just happened to be watching the game that night."
"Seeing a group of basketball fans chasing points crazily in order to keep the court, I was inspired for a while, so I followed up with my superiors and put forward my own suggestions for cultural and creative transformation. Maybe the superiors will see that the plan is good and agree immediately?"
Glancing at Yuan Shasha, Lu Weiwei asked, "Xiao Yuan, do you think so?"
"Senior Sister Lu seems to make a lot of sense." Yuan Shasha looked at Lu Weiwei with adoring eyes, and said with a smile:
"In my opinion, it may be closer to what Senior Sister Lu said. Maybe at the game that night, there was an executive from the Yuan Group watching the game."
"Whether it's true or not, it's a good thing anyway." Although Gu Chen couldn't explain it, what exactly is the investment business model of the Yuan Group?
But at least the Yuan Group's timely intervention this time seems to have played a good role.
However, Zhou Zhengnan voluntarily gave up this project, which still surprised Gu Chen.
But thinking of Zhou Zhengnan's family, what happened recently, it is estimated that it would be a troublesome thing to deal with his old man's mess.
After all, the sudden addition of a half-sister, Zhou Hui, was completely unexpected to the Zhou family.
With such a huge business empire, such a No. [-] figure suddenly appeared, so the competition for property distribution will probably be an inevitable problem for a long time to come.
Therefore, Gu Chen concluded that Zhou Zhengnan needed to deal with the distribution of family property, and did not care about the basketball park project at all, so it was possible for the Yuan Group to easily intervene.
The work in the morning was still busy, but at 2 pm, when everyone came to the office after lunch break, a phone call came in suddenly.
Gu Chen walked over, picked up the phone and asked, "Hello, this is the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. May I help you?"
"Comrade police, I found a secret room in my house." The voice of a young man was on the phone.
Gu Chen's expression was blank: "Secret room? Your house?"
"That's right, the secret room is in my house. It's scary, and I don't know what's going on? It feels like there's been a person living in it all the time, and all the furnishings in the room haven't been touched, but this wall is closed."
On the phone, Gu Chen could also hear the panicked tone of the man.
Obviously also frightened by this situation.
But Gu Chen was in a daze, and felt that what was this man trying to express?
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen asked again: "Sir, don't worry, let me ask you, where do you live?"
"Anxin town." The man said.
"Specifically?" Gu Chen asked again.
The man replied seriously: "It's at No. 18 Mengmeng Road, Anxin Township."
"Understood, then can you explain to me the situation you encountered in detail?" Gu Chen said again.
The man seemed a little nervous, but he also realized that the police had not yet learned about the specific situation on his side.
So I also cooperated and said: "Okay, the thing is like this. Three years ago, I bought a villa in Anxin Town, No. 3 Mengmeng Road. I thought this place was very good, and this villa is still a few years old. , and it’s a ready-made decoration, you can live right away with your bags, very convenient.”
"But then, last month, my wife suddenly said that he wanted to change the decoration style. It happened that he had made some money this year and the budget was enough, so he agreed."
"But during the renovation, the designer said that a wall would be knocked down. After all, it felt that the wall took up a lot of space."
"According to the structure, it is a bit strange. I didn't think much about it at the time. I felt that it would be fine as long as I followed the plan I had discussed before."
"Then what then?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Then? Then when the workers picked up the sledgehammer and smashed the wall open, I realized that there was another room inside, and this room seemed to have been kept for a long time."
"It's like a study inside, with a bed, and even all the furnishings are complete, and there is even a portrait hanging on the wall, but this person seems to have passed away for a long time."
When Gu Chen heard the man's speech, he could already feel the heavy breathing on the other end of the phone.
"Comrade policeman, this is terrible. The house I have lived in for three years is actually inside the dark wall, and there is another room, as if it is a parallel space."
"And all the items are placed intact, as if someone has been living in it."
"Then is there anyone?" Gu Chen asked.
The man denied it: "I haven't found it yet."
After a pause, the man suddenly said loudly again: "But Comrade Police, I feel that this house may be haunted, otherwise how could there be such a horrible room?"
"My wife and I are terrified now, thinking about living outside this horrible room for 3 full years makes me terrified."
"Then where do you live now?" Gu Chen asked.
"I rented a room outside. After all, the house needs to be renovated, but now not only us, but even the workers don't know how to deal with it."
"I don't know whether to decorate or not to decorate at all now? But after all, this kind of horrible room is really hard to accept."
"So?" Gu Chen asked again.
"So, so I would like to ask the police comrades to come over and investigate to find out who is living in this room?"
Hearing this, Gu Chen probably understood the reporter's specific intentions.
That is to say, the villa I lived in for 3 years suddenly broke through a wall when it was about to be renovated.
On the other side of the wall, it turned out to be a place similar to a study.
All the items have a certain sense of age, and the decorations and items in the house are completely placed, as if someone really lived in it.
Thinking about the villa I bought for 3 years, but such a horrible room suddenly appeared, which really made the reporter doubt whether there was a murder in this house before?
That's why I called the police and wanted the police to come and investigate.
After understanding the man's specific demands, Gu Chen asked again: "Then what is your name?"
"My name is Zhao Ke." The man said.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao Ke, please wait patiently over there for now, we will send someone over to investigate immediately."
"Then thank you, Comrade Police, please come over quickly." The man was really anxious now.
It feels like the house won't last a day.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen recorded the basic information, and said directly to Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, Xiao Yuan, Anxin Town, there is a police report at No. 18 Mengmeng Road, we must immediately Let's deal with it."
"What's the specific situation?" Officer Wang asked.
Gu Chen also smiled and said: "It seems quite bizarre, let's talk about it in the car."
"That's fine." I felt that time was of the essence, so Police Officer Wang didn't force it.
After a few people packed up their equipment, they drove directly to Anxin Town.
Anxin Town, actually located near the outskirts of the city, was not originally called Anxin Town, but Zemu Town.
Due to the beautiful scenery here, a large number of ancient villas have been preserved in this area.
In the past period of time, the development was neglected, so the number of residents in Zemu Town became less and less.
But now, with the boom in real estate projects, Zemu Town has been gradually developed, and there are more and more buildings.
As the economy of Zemu Town begins to develop in the direction of culture and tourism, many conceptual real estate projects have also been launched one after another.
In addition, Zemu Town has signed some strategic cooperation agreements with many real estate development companies.
Therefore, Zemu Town was renamed Anxin Town.
The purpose of the developer is also to create a small town with cultural tourism projects, so as to drive the economic take-off of the whole town.
Therefore, many old properties will be sold to some investors for investment and residence.
After all, no matter what, the scenery of Anxin Town is also picturesque and attractive.
In the car, Officer Wang also began to introduce Anxin Town to everyone based on the information he had.
Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help feeling emotional, and asked Police Officer Wang, "So, is this a hot spot for investment?"
"That's right, but the properties are basically sold out. Ever since Anxin Town changed its name, investors have flocked here in an endless stream."
"After all, Anxin Township is a big investment. Many people want to get a piece of the pie here and take advantage of it."
"That's right." After listening to Officer Wang's words, Yuan Shasha, who was sitting in the back row, quickly added:
"Because there is a lot of domestic capital involved here, investors are willing to come here when they see the benefits."
"Anyway, I heard from the gossip that some botanical gardens and Internet celebrity homestays may be built around this safe town. Anyway, the development prospects are good."
"So what happened in this place?" Lu Weiwei was also curious.
Feeling that they came out in a hurry, Gu Chen didn't even have time to introduce the police situation.
Gu Chen turned his head and took a look, turned right into the Huancheng Road, and then explained to everyone:
"The caller said that he bought an old villa and lived in it for 3 years, but when he was renovating today, he found a secret room hidden behind a wall."
"Secret room?"
"I haven't found it for three years?"
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha couldn't help being surprised when they heard Gu Chen's introduction.
What kind of weird house does this feel like?How can you live in it for 3 years without discovering that there is another hidden room in your home?
Police officer Wang was also quite curious, and said with a smile, "So this room has existed quietly for three years?"
"No, to be precise, it should have existed for many years." While driving, Gu Chen continued to explain clearly to everyone based on what he knew:
"After the reporter found the room, he found that all the items in the room were neatly arranged, and the items inside had a certain sense of age."
"But the reporter felt very terrified, and his wife is also very frightened at the moment, and the construction has temporarily stopped."
"So scary?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei on the co-pilot was quite interested:
"It feels like this resident is a bit weird. The key is how is this room sealed? It still has a sense of age? Has it existed for many years?"
"Maybe." Officer Wang opened the car window and looked at the scenery outside the window, and said involuntarily:
"In Anxin Town, the villas have a certain sense of age. It is estimated that the previous owner closed the wall with bricks before selling it to the current residents, and did not tell the current residents."
"But then again, who is free to do this? This is disrespect to the current residents."
"I don't know the specific situation, let's see and talk." Gu Chen suddenly became particularly interested in No. 18 Mengmeng Road, Anxin Township.
You know, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing.
……
……
2:40pm.
Gu Chen parked the car at the gate of No. 18 Mengmeng Road.
It is indeed an old villa.
Moreover, there are various decoration materials and waste piled up around the villa.
There was no further construction on site, and the gates of the entire villa were closed.
After Gu Chen got off the car, he also pushed away the courtyard of the villa, walked to the window of the villa, and looked at the interior of the villa.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone here, Junior Brother Gu, hurry up and call and ask." Lu Weiwei on the side urged.
Gu Chen nodded silently, then took out his mobile phone, and dialed directly according to the phone number on the record.
Not long after, the call was connected, and it was still the man who reported the crime, who also asked curiously, "Excuse me?"
"I'm a policeman." Gu Chen said.
"Oh, you are the policeman who answered the phone, right?" The man obviously recognized Gu Chen's voice, so he hurriedly asked, "Have you arrived at No. 18 Mengmeng Road?"
"That's right, it's in your yard, where are you now?" Gu Chen looked around and asked him.
"I'll be right over, you wait a few minutes." The man's voice fell, and he hung up the phone directly.
Everyone came to the door together and waited quietly for five or six minutes. Then a BMW drove up behind the police car, and a man and a woman got out of the car immediately.
The two looked to be in their early 30s, and walked over nervously.
"Comrade policeman, you are here." Zhao Ke reached out to shake hands with Gu Chen, and quickly introduced his wife: "This is my wife, Xu Meng."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Everyone chatted in the yard for a while, and they got to know each other roughly.
So Gu Chen pointed to the old villa and said, "So what's the situation with your house?"
"Officer Gu, go in and have a look and you'll know." Zhao Ke didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took out the key and opened the door directly.
Afterwards, Zhao Ke led the crowd into the living room, passed another corner, pointed directly at a wall sealed with a rain cloth, and said, "That's right here."
Gu Chen frowned, turned on the law enforcement recorder, then put on white gloves, stepped forward carefully, and pulled off the rain cloth.
At this moment, a smashed wall was immediately displayed in front of everyone.
Gu Chen even smelled a musty smell, so he turned to look at Zhao Ke behind him.
Zhao Ke hurriedly said, "It's here."
"Why is it so dark?" Police Officer Wang frowned, and immediately took out a strong flashlight and irradiated the inside.
But in an instant, the area swept by the light was filled with various furniture.
This made Police Officer Wang's hairs stand on end, as if he felt a little sinister: "This... this place is indeed a bit eerie, the key point is that there is no light at all."
"That's why it's scary." Xu Meng, Zhao Ke's lover, was still in shock at the moment: "The decoration workers smashed the wall before, and it was also a shock."
"It feels like they hit the wrong place, so I asked us quickly, but I was shocked when I asked, even our husband and wife didn't know this place."
"That's why these decoration workers stopped working one after another. They felt that this place was eerie and scary. It must be a haunted house. That's why they stopped working. They insisted on asking us to call the police and wait for the results of the investigation."
After a pause, Xu Meng said again: "Now we have no choice but to dare to enter this house."
"Before I lived there for 3 years, I didn't realize that there was a hidden room. Now that I think about it, it would be scary if there were some unclean things living in it."
Speaking of this, Xu Meng also patted her towering chest, feeling that she has not recovered yet.
When Lu Weiwei heard the words, she said angrily: "Isn't it so outrageous? The structure of the house, you can obviously know it? There is a room here, why didn't you find it?"
"Isn't the structure of the house more three-dimensional, and it's not that square and square structure, so sometimes the walls protrude a bit, and some places are recessed. We don't have this concept, but we feel that the interior structure should be It's like this."
Xu Meng sighed, and immediately said: "And the structure of the second floor is different from the first floor. In this kind of house, almost every floor has a different structure."
"I heard that it was designed by a foreigner before, so the structure is more like a European-style castle. Anyway, we really didn't expect that there is such a room."
Speaking of this, Xu Meng couldn't help but tremble.
Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen, and Gu Chen grinned and said:
"Don't be afraid, let's go in and have a look."
Gu Chen is not too clear now, so he can only go in and investigate first.
After all, the structure of this villa is indeed a bit old from the outside, and it doesn't look like a domestic design style.
If we say that in recent years, many designers have started to adopt the style of European and American castles, that is also true, but the key point is that this house has been built for a long time, and many walls are covered with moss.
Coupled with the fact that the house is close to an ancient forest behind it, it gives people a sense of seclusion.
It has the characteristics of a ghostly castle, but it turns out that a room that has been sealed for a long time is found in the room, which cannot be justified if it is not scary.
Turning on the bright flashlight in his hand, Gu Chen came to the door of the wall first, turned his head and asked Zhao Ke: "Have you ever entered the room?"
"I went in, I went in with a decoration worker." Zhao Ke said.
"How's the air in that room? Can you breathe normally?" Gu Chen asked again.
After all, after so many years, no one knows how much poisonous gas is inside the room after sealing up an empty room with bricks?
That's why Gu Chen wouldn't rush in.
Zhao Ke thought for a while, then quickly said: "Oh, by the way, the smell is very bad, quite disgusting."
"The worker and I stayed inside for a short while, and felt a little unbearable, so we hurried out."
"That won't work." Officer Wang hurriedly pulled Gu Chen back, and also said to Zhao Ke:
The furniture inside looked old, and the room had been sealed for such a long time, so there must be a lot of poisonous gas now. "
"If you go in rashly, your life may be in danger."
"Then...then what should I do?" Xu Meng was also in a hurry now, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was at a loss.
Yuan Shasha asked suddenly: "Do you have a fan in your house?"
"Fan?" Zhao Ke was stunned.
Yuan Shasha pointed to the exit of the damaged wall and said, "Turn on the fan to the maximum and blow it to the outside, so that the poisonous gas inside can be discharged."
"Then blow on the inside to circulate the air first. After everything is done, it is estimated that there is basically no difference between the air inside and the air outside."
"I see. I'll get the fan right now." Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Zhao Ke understood it instantly.
Immediately told his lover Xu Meng, the two began to walk to another room on the first floor.
Not long after, the two brought out two three-dimensional fans and a multi-function plug.
After installing the plug, the two began to follow Yuan Shasha's suggestion, put the fan at the entrance of the damaged wall, and then blow air to the outside.
The power of the two fans was turned on to the maximum, and the surrounding air suddenly began to stir.
Because it is a cold day, everyone can only stay away from the fan.
After 10 minutes, Gu Chen reversed the direction of the fans, put the two fans into the room inside the cave, and turned on the shaking head mode.
Another 10 minutes passed.
Seeing that the surrounding air has basically become normal, everyone removed the fan.
Afterwards, Gu Chen began to break loose bricks near the entrance of the cave with his hand and throw them aside.
Everyone worked together to double the size of the entire damaged wall on the original basis.
Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang went in first with strong flashlights.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha followed closely behind.
As for Zhao Ke and Xu Meng, because they were too frightened before, they could only stand at the entrance of the cave, not daring to take half a step.
With the illumination of four strong lights, the layout of the whole room can be seen clearly.
Gu Chen roughly calculated that this room is a full 30 square meters.
Moreover, desks and wooden beds are all available, obviously it was also a place where people lived before.
Looking around again, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that there was actually a window on the wall next to the desk.
But since the outside of the window has been blocked by bricks, there is no light at all.
Seeing this, Gu Chen turned his head and asked Zhao Ke: "Mr. Zhao Ke, what's going on outside this window?"
"You mean the closed window, right?" Zhao Ke asked.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Yes, according to the previous layout, here is a window."
"That's the wall covered with moss and creepers. These plants wrap the outer wall, so I didn't realize that there was actually a window here."
Zhao Ke is also telling the truth, he feels that he has lived here for 3 years, which is obviously a bit too careless.
"This is actually a window?" Seeing everything in the house, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then shone the bright flashlight on other areas.
On the desk, there were many exquisite knives. Gu Chen was wearing white gloves, then picked up a short knife, and gently unsheathed it.
Except for some dirt on the mouth of the scabbard, the blade is very brand new.
Afterwards, Gu Chen gently put down the blade, and glanced at the direction of the wall.
At this time, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were also admiring the knives on the wall.
"These things look real, not just decorations." Lu Weiwei held her chin thoughtfully, then turned her head and asked Zhao Ke:
"By the way, Mr. Zhao, have you touched anything inside since you came in?"
"No." Zhao Ke shook his head, and said truthfully, "It's too gloomy and scary inside, and we're afraid that there will be dirty things inside."
"So, I didn't dare to stay inside for too long, and I was also afraid that there would be something like zombies here."
"Pfft!" Yuan Shasha couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard Zhao Ke's various conjectures, and said angrily, "You still believe this?"
"Aren't you scared by this secret room? You have to be considerate, after all, you haven't found this room after living in it for 3 years." Zhao Ke is also panicking now.
I feel that I have lived here for the past 3 years, and now thinking about it, I feel a little scared.
Gu Chen couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that this Zhao Ke was quite strange.
So he shone the flashlight on the wooden bed again.
The structure of the wooden bed is very delicate and full of age, but at the moment the wood exudes an unpleasant smell.
And there was actually a pillow and folded blanket items on the bed.
Seeing all this, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but frowned, and asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think someone really slept here before this?"
"No way?" Gu Chen shone the flashlight around, but suddenly saw a portrait of a person hanging on the wall.
Gu Chen walked over immediately and took a closer look.
This is a black-and-white photo framed by a photo frame. The man in the photo has an extraordinary bearing, and holds an exquisite blade in his hand.
Seeing all this, Gu Chen crossed his arms and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that he is the owner of this house? Everything here is his belongings?"
"It's possible." Lu Weiwei also walked to Gu Chen's side, shined a bright flashlight on the black and white photo frame twice, and said:
"From the perspective of the entire room, there are many exquisite knives here, and all kinds of items are readily available."
"It seems that as long as this person comes back here, he can move in with his bags."
"Come in with a bag?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but her eyes lit up when she heard Lu Weiwei's remarks, and quickly echoed:
"Hey Senior Sister Lu, if you don't tell me, I really didn't notice it. Yes, all the furnishings here are the same as normal rooms."
Pointing to the head of the bed, and then to the direction of the desk, Yuan Shasha also said with a look of surprise: "Everything here feels very natural, as if the owner has always existed."
"The paper and pens on the desk are all normal, and these vases and some decorations are very retro, but they are very consistent with that era."
Turning to look at Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen, Yuan Shasha said again: "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Gu, don't you think this is exactly the same as our current room? Everything here is normal."
"That's right." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said with a puzzled look on her face: "This is obviously a normal room. Logically speaking, there is no need to seal the room? Could it be that..."
After the words fell, Lu Weiwei suddenly turned to Police Officer Wang who stepped back, "Could it be that there is another tunnel in this room?"
"Ah?" Police Officer Wang shrank his neck, quickly lowered his head to look at the ground, and suddenly said calmly, "Lu Weiwei, is what you said reliable?"
"Why is it unreliable?" Lu Weiwei retorted vigorously, and continued: "This room is obviously the room of the person in the photo on the wall."
"But now all the furnishings in the room are normal, just like our ordinary room now, but where did that person go?"
"Could it be that...he is dead?" Yuan Shasha said.
Lu Weiwei snapped her fingers and said, "That's right, he must have passed away, but why did the previous person seal up this room? Could it be that he wanted to seal up this man's body in this room together?"
"Ouch!" Upon hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Xu Meng, who had been worried before, suddenly felt his legs go limp.
I just felt dizzy in my head, and I almost couldn't stand still.
Zhao Ke on the side was also quick-sighted, and immediately helped his wife, and said nervously: "Wife, are you okay?"
"Husband, I'm afraid. You said what if there is a dead person hidden in this room? We have lived here for three years."
"In the past three years, all the whispers between the two of us have been heard by this dead man? Woohoo, what should we do?"
At the end of speaking, Xu Meng's nose was sour, and he felt that his whole body was not well.
Zhao Ke also hugged Xu Meng, patted Xu Meng's back and comforted him: "The dead are unconscious, and the dead cannot hear the living. Don't worry, my wife. Even if there are dead people hiding in this room, they can't hear you." What are we talking about, don’t be afraid, don’t scare yourself.”
Here Zhao Ke and Xu Meng are still in various dramas, and Gu Chen and the others in the room are searching in full swing.
Because of what Lu Weiwei said before, everyone started to check the ground and the top of the room after checking the surrounding items.
Under Gu Chen's arrangement, everyone stood in a row and began to check every floor tile in the room.
Basically, for each floor tile, everyone needs to put two feet on it to ensure that the floor tile is not hollow.
When encountering some dead spots, such as beds, everyone will take out mechanical batons and start beating.
It was only after some operations that everyone was sure that there was no secret passage like Lu Weiwei said in the whole room.
Officer Wang also breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death just now. I was really afraid that there would be a secret passage in this room to hide corpses or something. Thinking about it, it would be scary, but luckily I didn't find it."
"But if there is no corpse hidden in the room, then why seal this room?" Gu Chen still didn't understand what the person who sealed this room wanted to do?
In the room that had been dusty for a long time, everything looked normal, but Zhao Ke and Xu Meng were quite frightened.
But Gu Chen can also understand the difficulties of the two.
After all, the young couple lives here and lives a happy life every day.
But suddenly one day, you told them that there is a secret room closed with bricks in this room.
Moreover, everything in this secret room is still the same as before, as if someone really lives here.
This terrifying reality is enough to make any resident shudder.
"Officer Gu, did you find anything?" Zhao Ke stood at the door with his wife in his arms, watching for a long time.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others searched the secret room for a long time, but they still had no intention of coming out, they couldn't help but ask one more question.
Gu Chen walked to the exit of the damaged wall and asked Zhao Ke, "How did you buy this house?"
"I just bought it from the owner." Zhao Ke said.
"Do you still have the contact information of the previous homeowner?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Yes, I have a deposit on my mobile phone, but now after the incident, I can't seem to contact the previous owner again, probably because I changed the number." Zhao Ke also looked helpless.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and said, "That means nothing?"
"Uh! Poor... can it be understood in this way?" Zhao Ke is now unable to refute, after all, it is true that the previous owner cannot be contacted.
Lu Weiwei also had some headaches: "I said Mr. Zhao Ke, since the owner sold this old villa to you, at least he knows why there is a secret room in this room better than you?"
"Besides, this room is decorated as if someone really lived here. It is obvious that someone carefully arranged it. All of this can only be found out by the owner and seller before you are found, but now you say that you can't be contacted? Are you kidding?" ?”
"Female police officer, I... I really can't find it." Zhao Ke also felt helpless now that he felt rather embarrassed.
Gu Chen jumped out of the damaged wall, and also came to Zhao Ke and asked, "What happened to the previous owner? Do you know?"
"Uh..." Zhao Ke was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then looked at Xu Meng beside him.
Xu Meng said straightforwardly: "It seems to be an overseas Chinese family before, an old lady, she said that their family lives abroad, and she will move there to settle down."
"But it's a waste to keep the house here. After all, she doesn't plan to come back here, so she just wants to sell the house."
"That is to say, the owner who sold you this old villa is an old lady?" Gu Chen said.
Zhao Ke nodded silently: "It can be understood in this way, and this old lady is eager to go abroad to reunite with her family, so the price is very cheap, at least much cheaper than the old villas nearby."
"So this should be the problem." Gu Chen said.

Ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
(End of this chapter)
Inside the office.
He only heard Lu Weiwei babbling on the other end of the phone for a long time before hanging up reluctantly.
Police officer Wang asked with a confused face: "By the way, who is this caller? It looks like you know him very well. Is that King?"
After all, I also heard Lu Weiwei mention it from time to time, so Officer Wang was quite curious.
"Yeah." Lu Weiwei was full of joy, and said involuntarily, "It's the thank you call from King."
"How is King now? He was sent to the hospital in a coma before, and I don't know his latest state." Gu Chen thought that after King was injured that night, the injured part was his head, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
But Lu Weiwei waved her hand and said, "Junior Brother Gu, don't worry, King is recovering very well now, and when he heard that you helped him lead the team to win the game that night, he couldn't believe it."
"He called this time mainly to thank you, and he also wants to tell you a piece of good news about the basketball park."
"Where will the basketball park go?" Gu Chen thought of this, and couldn't help but think of what happened after he led the team to win the game that night.
That is the ultimate match, it will be between Zhou Zhengnan and Liu Xiangbei, so she asked Lu Weiwei again: "It's about the PK between Zhou Zhengnan and Liu Xiangbei, right? Is the time set?"
"No." Lu Weiwei shook her head, and said with a smile, "But Junior Brother Gu, don't worry, what King said is that Zhou Zhengnan seems to have voluntarily given up on the basketball park project."
"Give up?" He Junchao heard the words, and also leaned over and said, "I said Lu Weiwei, this is unlikely, right? After all, who is Zhou Zhengnan? You and I saw it at the scene that day."
"The basketball park is an imperative. Why would you give up suddenly? Isn't that Zhou Zhengnan's turnaround to save his performance?"
"I don't know either." Lu Weiwei scratched the back of her head, also puzzled and said, "But King told me that the project suddenly had a strong intervention from the Yuan Group."
"The Zhengnan Group can't handle it for a while. Not only that, Yuan's Group is also facing each other on several other important projects with the Zhengnan Group."
"I guess some kind of deal may have been reached between Zhengnan Group and Yuan's Group, for example, Yuan's Group withdrew from several other projects, and then Zhengnan Group gave up the basketball park project. My latest statement."
Lu Weiwei was also very puzzled, after all, Zhengnan Group's project was imperative according to what Junchao He said.
But when you suddenly met the Yuan Group, you were scared?
Yuan Shasha also smiled when she heard the words: "Perhaps the Yuan Group has also taken a fancy to this good project, and plans to jointly develop something, maybe it will also be built into a commercial center."
Looking at everyone, Yuan Shasha said again: "This is just a change of developer. The land of the basketball park may be what it should be."
"Xiao Yuan, you guessed wrong this time." Seeing that Yuan Shasha seemed to understand, Lu Weiwei still retorted:
"I heard from King that Yuan's Group took this land because they wanted to continue operating the basketball park and add more cultural and creative elements to develop this basketball park into a basketball theme park."
"In this way, it is tantamount to upgrading the existing hardware facilities of the basketball park, but the overall basketball park is still preserved without much change."
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Yuan's Group won the land of the basketball park just to increase the park's cultural and creative investment?" He Junchao thought he heard it wrong.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that directly developing this piece of land into a commercial center may make Yuan's Group a lot of money.
But now Yuan's Group not only does not demolish the basketball park on the spot, but even builds a basketball-themed cultural park?
This kind of good thing feels like a pie falling from the sky.
But if this is another company, He Junchao feels that it must be the case.
However, the word-of-mouth of Yuan's Group is also well-known in the industry.
Thinking about it this way, it feels like this pie might be real.
"This is very strange." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen also frowned, and questioned:
"The timing of the Yuan's Group's move is just right. It seems that when we need someone to intervene, the Yuan's Group just appeared."
"And when we just need to keep the basketball park, Yuan's Group is going to upgrade and renovate this land to enrich cultural and tourism elements."
"All of this is just right, and it feels good. Is there someone helping behind?"
"Which expert is that?" Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, scratching the back of her head, guessing:
"Junior Brother Gu, maybe it's an executive from the Yuan Group, who just happened to be watching the game that night."
"Seeing a group of basketball fans chasing points crazily in order to keep the court, I was inspired for a while, so I followed up with my superiors and put forward my own suggestions for cultural and creative transformation. Maybe the superiors will see that the plan is good and agree immediately?"
Glancing at Yuan Shasha, Lu Weiwei asked, "Xiao Yuan, do you think so?"
"Senior Sister Lu seems to make a lot of sense." Yuan Shasha looked at Lu Weiwei with adoring eyes, and said with a smile:
"In my opinion, it may be closer to what Senior Sister Lu said. Maybe at the game that night, there was an executive from the Yuan Group watching the game."
"Whether it's true or not, it's a good thing anyway." Although Gu Chen couldn't explain it, what exactly is the investment business model of the Yuan Group?
But at least the Yuan Group's timely intervention this time seems to have played a good role.
However, Zhou Zhengnan voluntarily gave up this project, which still surprised Gu Chen.
But thinking of Zhou Zhengnan's family, what happened recently, it is estimated that it would be a troublesome thing to deal with his old man's mess.
After all, the sudden addition of a half-sister, Zhou Hui, was completely unexpected to the Zhou family.
With such a huge business empire, such a No. [-] figure suddenly appeared, so the competition for property distribution will probably be an inevitable problem for a long time to come.
Therefore, Gu Chen concluded that Zhou Zhengnan needed to deal with the distribution of family property, and did not care about the basketball park project at all, so it was possible for the Yuan Group to easily intervene.
The work in the morning was still busy, but at 2 pm, when everyone came to the office after lunch break, a phone call came in suddenly.
Gu Chen walked over, picked up the phone and asked, "Hello, this is the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. May I help you?"
"Comrade police, I found a secret room in my house." The voice of a young man was on the phone.
Gu Chen's expression was blank: "Secret room? Your house?"
"That's right, the secret room is in my house. It's scary, and I don't know what's going on? It feels like there's been a person living in it all the time, and all the furnishings in the room haven't been touched, but this wall is closed."
On the phone, Gu Chen could also hear the panicked tone of the man.
Obviously also frightened by this situation.
But Gu Chen was in a daze, and felt that what was this man trying to express?
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen asked again: "Sir, don't worry, let me ask you, where do you live?"
"Anxin town." The man said.
"Specifically?" Gu Chen asked again.
The man replied seriously: "It's at No. 18 Mengmeng Road, Anxin Township."
"Understood, then can you explain to me the situation you encountered in detail?" Gu Chen said again.
The man seemed a little nervous, but he also realized that the police had not yet learned about the specific situation on his side.
So I also cooperated and said: "Okay, the thing is like this. Three years ago, I bought a villa in Anxin Town, No. 3 Mengmeng Road. I thought this place was very good, and this villa is still a few years old. , and it’s a ready-made decoration, you can live right away with your bags, very convenient.”
"But then, last month, my wife suddenly said that he wanted to change the decoration style. It happened that he had made some money this year and the budget was enough, so he agreed."
"But during the renovation, the designer said that a wall would be knocked down. After all, it felt that the wall took up a lot of space."
"According to the structure, it is a bit strange. I didn't think much about it at the time. I felt that it would be fine as long as I followed the plan I had discussed before."
"Then what then?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Then? Then when the workers picked up the sledgehammer and smashed the wall open, I realized that there was another room inside, and this room seemed to have been kept for a long time."
"It's like a study inside, with a bed, and even all the furnishings are complete, and there is even a portrait hanging on the wall, but this person seems to have passed away for a long time."
When Gu Chen heard the man's speech, he could already feel the heavy breathing on the other end of the phone.
"Comrade policeman, this is terrible. The house I have lived in for three years is actually inside the dark wall, and there is another room, as if it is a parallel space."
"And all the items are placed intact, as if someone has been living in it."
"Then is there anyone?" Gu Chen asked.
The man denied it: "I haven't found it yet."
After a pause, the man suddenly said loudly again: "But Comrade Police, I feel that this house may be haunted, otherwise how could there be such a horrible room?"
"My wife and I are terrified now, thinking about living outside this horrible room for 3 full years makes me terrified."
"Then where do you live now?" Gu Chen asked.
"I rented a room outside. After all, the house needs to be renovated, but now not only us, but even the workers don't know how to deal with it."
"I don't know whether to decorate or not to decorate at all now? But after all, this kind of horrible room is really hard to accept."
"So?" Gu Chen asked again.
"So, so I would like to ask the police comrades to come over and investigate to find out who is living in this room?"
Hearing this, Gu Chen probably understood the reporter's specific intentions.
That is to say, the villa I lived in for 3 years suddenly broke through a wall when it was about to be renovated.
On the other side of the wall, it turned out to be a place similar to a study.
All the items have a certain sense of age, and the decorations and items in the house are completely placed, as if someone really lived in it.
Thinking about the villa I bought for 3 years, but such a horrible room suddenly appeared, which really made the reporter doubt whether there was a murder in this house before?
That's why I called the police and wanted the police to come and investigate.
After understanding the man's specific demands, Gu Chen asked again: "Then what is your name?"
"My name is Zhao Ke." The man said.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao Ke, please wait patiently over there for now, we will send someone over to investigate immediately."
"Then thank you, Comrade Police, please come over quickly." The man was really anxious now.
It feels like the house won't last a day.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen recorded the basic information, and said directly to Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, Xiao Yuan, Anxin Town, there is a police report at No. 18 Mengmeng Road, we must immediately Let's deal with it."
"What's the specific situation?" Officer Wang asked.
Gu Chen also smiled and said: "It seems quite bizarre, let's talk about it in the car."
"That's fine." I felt that time was of the essence, so Police Officer Wang didn't force it.
After a few people packed up their equipment, they drove directly to Anxin Town.
Anxin Town, actually located near the outskirts of the city, was not originally called Anxin Town, but Zemu Town.
Due to the beautiful scenery here, a large number of ancient villas have been preserved in this area.
In the past period of time, the development was neglected, so the number of residents in Zemu Town became less and less.
But now, with the boom in real estate projects, Zemu Town has been gradually developed, and there are more and more buildings.
As the economy of Zemu Town begins to develop in the direction of culture and tourism, many conceptual real estate projects have also been launched one after another.
In addition, Zemu Town has signed some strategic cooperation agreements with many real estate development companies.
Therefore, Zemu Town was renamed Anxin Town.
The purpose of the developer is also to create a small town with cultural tourism projects, so as to drive the economic take-off of the whole town.
Therefore, many old properties will be sold to some investors for investment and residence.
After all, no matter what, the scenery of Anxin Town is also picturesque and attractive.
In the car, Officer Wang also began to introduce Anxin Town to everyone based on the information he had.
Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help feeling emotional, and asked Police Officer Wang, "So, is this a hot spot for investment?"
"That's right, but the properties are basically sold out. Ever since Anxin Town changed its name, investors have flocked here in an endless stream."
"After all, Anxin Township is a big investment. Many people want to get a piece of the pie here and take advantage of it."
"That's right." After listening to Officer Wang's words, Yuan Shasha, who was sitting in the back row, quickly added:
"Because there is a lot of domestic capital involved here, investors are willing to come here when they see the benefits."
"Anyway, I heard from the gossip that some botanical gardens and Internet celebrity homestays may be built around this safe town. Anyway, the development prospects are good."
"So what happened in this place?" Lu Weiwei was also curious.
Feeling that they came out in a hurry, Gu Chen didn't even have time to introduce the police situation.
Gu Chen turned his head and took a look, turned right into the Huancheng Road, and then explained to everyone:
"The caller said that he bought an old villa and lived in it for 3 years, but when he was renovating today, he found a secret room hidden behind a wall."
"Secret room?"
"I haven't found it for three years?"
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha couldn't help being surprised when they heard Gu Chen's introduction.
What kind of weird house does this feel like?How can you live in it for 3 years without discovering that there is another hidden room in your home?
Police officer Wang was also quite curious, and said with a smile, "So this room has existed quietly for three years?"
"No, to be precise, it should have existed for many years." While driving, Gu Chen continued to explain clearly to everyone based on what he knew:
"After the reporter found the room, he found that all the items in the room were neatly arranged, and the items inside had a certain sense of age."
"But the reporter felt very terrified, and his wife is also very frightened at the moment, and the construction has temporarily stopped."
"So scary?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei on the co-pilot was quite interested:
"It feels like this resident is a bit weird. The key is how is this room sealed? It still has a sense of age? Has it existed for many years?"
"Maybe." Officer Wang opened the car window and looked at the scenery outside the window, and said involuntarily:
"In Anxin Town, the villas have a certain sense of age. It is estimated that the previous owner closed the wall with bricks before selling it to the current residents, and did not tell the current residents."
"But then again, who is free to do this? This is disrespect to the current residents."
"I don't know the specific situation, let's see and talk." Gu Chen suddenly became particularly interested in No. 18 Mengmeng Road, Anxin Township.
You know, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing.
……
……
2:40pm.
Gu Chen parked the car at the gate of No. 18 Mengmeng Road.
It is indeed an old villa.
Moreover, there are various decoration materials and waste piled up around the villa.
There was no further construction on site, and the gates of the entire villa were closed.
After Gu Chen got off the car, he also pushed away the courtyard of the villa, walked to the window of the villa, and looked at the interior of the villa.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone here, Junior Brother Gu, hurry up and call and ask." Lu Weiwei on the side urged.
Gu Chen nodded silently, then took out his mobile phone, and dialed directly according to the phone number on the record.
Not long after, the call was connected, and it was still the man who reported the crime, who also asked curiously, "Excuse me?"
"I'm a policeman." Gu Chen said.
"Oh, you are the policeman who answered the phone, right?" The man obviously recognized Gu Chen's voice, so he hurriedly asked, "Have you arrived at No. 18 Mengmeng Road?"
"That's right, it's in your yard, where are you now?" Gu Chen looked around and asked him.
"I'll be right over, you wait a few minutes." The man's voice fell, and he hung up the phone directly.
Everyone came to the door together and waited quietly for five or six minutes. Then a BMW drove up behind the police car, and a man and a woman got out of the car immediately.
The two looked to be in their early 30s, and walked over nervously.
"Comrade policeman, you are here." Zhao Ke reached out to shake hands with Gu Chen, and quickly introduced his wife: "This is my wife, Xu Meng."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Everyone chatted in the yard for a while, and they got to know each other roughly.
So Gu Chen pointed to the old villa and said, "So what's the situation with your house?"
"Officer Gu, go in and have a look and you'll know." Zhao Ke didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took out the key and opened the door directly.
Afterwards, Zhao Ke led the crowd into the living room, passed another corner, pointed directly at a wall sealed with a rain cloth, and said, "That's right here."
Gu Chen frowned, turned on the law enforcement recorder, then put on white gloves, stepped forward carefully, and pulled off the rain cloth.
At this moment, a smashed wall was immediately displayed in front of everyone.
Gu Chen even smelled a musty smell, so he turned to look at Zhao Ke behind him.
Zhao Ke hurriedly said, "It's here."
"Why is it so dark?" Police Officer Wang frowned, and immediately took out a strong flashlight and irradiated the inside.
But in an instant, the area swept by the light was filled with various furniture.
This made Police Officer Wang's hairs stand on end, as if he felt a little sinister: "This... this place is indeed a bit eerie, the key point is that there is no light at all."
"That's why it's scary." Xu Meng, Zhao Ke's lover, was still in shock at the moment: "The decoration workers smashed the wall before, and it was also a shock."
"It feels like they hit the wrong place, so I asked us quickly, but I was shocked when I asked, even our husband and wife didn't know this place."
"That's why these decoration workers stopped working one after another. They felt that this place was eerie and scary. It must be a haunted house. That's why they stopped working. They insisted on asking us to call the police and wait for the results of the investigation."
After a pause, Xu Meng said again: "Now we have no choice but to dare to enter this house."
"Before I lived there for 3 years, I didn't realize that there was a hidden room. Now that I think about it, it would be scary if there were some unclean things living in it."
Speaking of this, Xu Meng also patted her towering chest, feeling that she has not recovered yet.
When Lu Weiwei heard the words, she said angrily: "Isn't it so outrageous? The structure of the house, you can obviously know it? There is a room here, why didn't you find it?"
"Isn't the structure of the house more three-dimensional, and it's not that square and square structure, so sometimes the walls protrude a bit, and some places are recessed. We don't have this concept, but we feel that the interior structure should be It's like this."
Xu Meng sighed, and immediately said: "And the structure of the second floor is different from the first floor. In this kind of house, almost every floor has a different structure."
"I heard that it was designed by a foreigner before, so the structure is more like a European-style castle. Anyway, we really didn't expect that there is such a room."
Speaking of this, Xu Meng couldn't help but tremble.
Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen, and Gu Chen grinned and said:
"Don't be afraid, let's go in and have a look."
Gu Chen is not too clear now, so he can only go in and investigate first.
After all, the structure of this villa is indeed a bit old from the outside, and it doesn't look like a domestic design style.
If we say that in recent years, many designers have started to adopt the style of European and American castles, that is also true, but the key point is that this house has been built for a long time, and many walls are covered with moss.
Coupled with the fact that the house is close to an ancient forest behind it, it gives people a sense of seclusion.
It has the characteristics of a ghostly castle, but it turns out that a room that has been sealed for a long time is found in the room, which cannot be justified if it is not scary.
Turning on the bright flashlight in his hand, Gu Chen came to the door of the wall first, turned his head and asked Zhao Ke: "Have you ever entered the room?"
"I went in, I went in with a decoration worker." Zhao Ke said.
"How's the air in that room? Can you breathe normally?" Gu Chen asked again.
After all, after so many years, no one knows how much poisonous gas is inside the room after sealing up an empty room with bricks?
That's why Gu Chen wouldn't rush in.
Zhao Ke thought for a while, then quickly said: "Oh, by the way, the smell is very bad, quite disgusting."
"The worker and I stayed inside for a short while, and felt a little unbearable, so we hurried out."
"That won't work." Officer Wang hurriedly pulled Gu Chen back, and also said to Zhao Ke:
The furniture inside looked old, and the room had been sealed for such a long time, so there must be a lot of poisonous gas now. "
"If you go in rashly, your life may be in danger."
"Then...then what should I do?" Xu Meng was also in a hurry now, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was at a loss.
Yuan Shasha asked suddenly: "Do you have a fan in your house?"
"Fan?" Zhao Ke was stunned.
Yuan Shasha pointed to the exit of the damaged wall and said, "Turn on the fan to the maximum and blow it to the outside, so that the poisonous gas inside can be discharged."
"Then blow on the inside to circulate the air first. After everything is done, it is estimated that there is basically no difference between the air inside and the air outside."
"I see. I'll get the fan right now." Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Zhao Ke understood it instantly.
Immediately told his lover Xu Meng, the two began to walk to another room on the first floor.
Not long after, the two brought out two three-dimensional fans and a multi-function plug.
After installing the plug, the two began to follow Yuan Shasha's suggestion, put the fan at the entrance of the damaged wall, and then blow air to the outside.
The power of the two fans was turned on to the maximum, and the surrounding air suddenly began to stir.
Because it is a cold day, everyone can only stay away from the fan.
After 10 minutes, Gu Chen reversed the direction of the fans, put the two fans into the room inside the cave, and turned on the shaking head mode.
Another 10 minutes passed.
Seeing that the surrounding air has basically become normal, everyone removed the fan.
Afterwards, Gu Chen began to break loose bricks near the entrance of the cave with his hand and throw them aside.
Everyone worked together to double the size of the entire damaged wall on the original basis.
Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang went in first with strong flashlights.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha followed closely behind.
As for Zhao Ke and Xu Meng, because they were too frightened before, they could only stand at the entrance of the cave, not daring to take half a step.
With the illumination of four strong lights, the layout of the whole room can be seen clearly.
Gu Chen roughly calculated that this room is a full 30 square meters.
Moreover, desks and wooden beds are all available, obviously it was also a place where people lived before.
Looking around again, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that there was actually a window on the wall next to the desk.
But since the outside of the window has been blocked by bricks, there is no light at all.
Seeing this, Gu Chen turned his head and asked Zhao Ke: "Mr. Zhao Ke, what's going on outside this window?"
"You mean the closed window, right?" Zhao Ke asked.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Yes, according to the previous layout, here is a window."
"That's the wall covered with moss and creepers. These plants wrap the outer wall, so I didn't realize that there was actually a window here."
Zhao Ke is also telling the truth, he feels that he has lived here for 3 years, which is obviously a bit too careless.
"This is actually a window?" Seeing everything in the house, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then shone the bright flashlight on other areas.
On the desk, there were many exquisite knives. Gu Chen was wearing white gloves, then picked up a short knife, and gently unsheathed it.
Except for some dirt on the mouth of the scabbard, the blade is very brand new.
Afterwards, Gu Chen gently put down the blade, and glanced at the direction of the wall.
At this time, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were also admiring the knives on the wall.
"These things look real, not just decorations." Lu Weiwei held her chin thoughtfully, then turned her head and asked Zhao Ke:
"By the way, Mr. Zhao, have you touched anything inside since you came in?"
"No." Zhao Ke shook his head, and said truthfully, "It's too gloomy and scary inside, and we're afraid that there will be dirty things inside."
"So, I didn't dare to stay inside for too long, and I was also afraid that there would be something like zombies here."
"Pfft!" Yuan Shasha couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard Zhao Ke's various conjectures, and said angrily, "You still believe this?"
"Aren't you scared by this secret room? You have to be considerate, after all, you haven't found this room after living in it for 3 years." Zhao Ke is also panicking now.
I feel that I have lived here for the past 3 years, and now thinking about it, I feel a little scared.
Gu Chen couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that this Zhao Ke was quite strange.
So he shone the flashlight on the wooden bed again.
The structure of the wooden bed is very delicate and full of age, but at the moment the wood exudes an unpleasant smell.
And there was actually a pillow and folded blanket items on the bed.
Seeing all this, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but frowned, and asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think someone really slept here before this?"
"No way?" Gu Chen shone the flashlight around, but suddenly saw a portrait of a person hanging on the wall.
Gu Chen walked over immediately and took a closer look.
This is a black-and-white photo framed by a photo frame. The man in the photo has an extraordinary bearing, and holds an exquisite blade in his hand.
Seeing all this, Gu Chen crossed his arms and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that he is the owner of this house? Everything here is his belongings?"
"It's possible." Lu Weiwei also walked to Gu Chen's side, shined a bright flashlight on the black and white photo frame twice, and said:
"From the perspective of the entire room, there are many exquisite knives here, and all kinds of items are readily available."
"It seems that as long as this person comes back here, he can move in with his bags."
"Come in with a bag?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but her eyes lit up when she heard Lu Weiwei's remarks, and quickly echoed:
"Hey Senior Sister Lu, if you don't tell me, I really didn't notice it. Yes, all the furnishings here are the same as normal rooms."
Pointing to the head of the bed, and then to the direction of the desk, Yuan Shasha also said with a look of surprise: "Everything here feels very natural, as if the owner has always existed."
"The paper and pens on the desk are all normal, and these vases and some decorations are very retro, but they are very consistent with that era."
Turning to look at Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen, Yuan Shasha said again: "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Gu, don't you think this is exactly the same as our current room? Everything here is normal."
"That's right." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said with a puzzled look on her face: "This is obviously a normal room. Logically speaking, there is no need to seal the room? Could it be that..."
After the words fell, Lu Weiwei suddenly turned to Police Officer Wang who stepped back, "Could it be that there is another tunnel in this room?"
"Ah?" Police Officer Wang shrank his neck, quickly lowered his head to look at the ground, and suddenly said calmly, "Lu Weiwei, is what you said reliable?"
"Why is it unreliable?" Lu Weiwei retorted vigorously, and continued: "This room is obviously the room of the person in the photo on the wall."
"But now all the furnishings in the room are normal, just like our ordinary room now, but where did that person go?"
"Could it be that...he is dead?" Yuan Shasha said.
Lu Weiwei snapped her fingers and said, "That's right, he must have passed away, but why did the previous person seal up this room? Could it be that he wanted to seal up this man's body in this room together?"
"Ouch!" Upon hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Xu Meng, who had been worried before, suddenly felt his legs go limp.
I just felt dizzy in my head, and I almost couldn't stand still.
Zhao Ke on the side was also quick-sighted, and immediately helped his wife, and said nervously: "Wife, are you okay?"
"Husband, I'm afraid. You said what if there is a dead person hidden in this room? We have lived here for three years."
"In the past three years, all the whispers between the two of us have been heard by this dead man? Woohoo, what should we do?"
At the end of speaking, Xu Meng's nose was sour, and he felt that his whole body was not well.
Zhao Ke also hugged Xu Meng, patted Xu Meng's back and comforted him: "The dead are unconscious, and the dead cannot hear the living. Don't worry, my wife. Even if there are dead people hiding in this room, they can't hear you." What are we talking about, don’t be afraid, don’t scare yourself.”
Here Zhao Ke and Xu Meng are still in various dramas, and Gu Chen and the others in the room are searching in full swing.
Because of what Lu Weiwei said before, everyone started to check the ground and the top of the room after checking the surrounding items.
Under Gu Chen's arrangement, everyone stood in a row and began to check every floor tile in the room.
Basically, for each floor tile, everyone needs to put two feet on it to ensure that the floor tile is not hollow.
When encountering some dead spots, such as beds, everyone will take out mechanical batons and start beating.
It was only after some operations that everyone was sure that there was no secret passage like Lu Weiwei said in the whole room.
Officer Wang also breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death just now. I was really afraid that there would be a secret passage in this room to hide corpses or something. Thinking about it, it would be scary, but luckily I didn't find it."
"But if there is no corpse hidden in the room, then why seal this room?" Gu Chen still didn't understand what the person who sealed this room wanted to do?
In the room that had been dusty for a long time, everything looked normal, but Zhao Ke and Xu Meng were quite frightened.
But Gu Chen can also understand the difficulties of the two.
After all, the young couple lives here and lives a happy life every day.
But suddenly one day, you told them that there is a secret room closed with bricks in this room.
Moreover, everything in this secret room is still the same as before, as if someone really lives here.
This terrifying reality is enough to make any resident shudder.
"Officer Gu, did you find anything?" Zhao Ke stood at the door with his wife in his arms, watching for a long time.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others searched the secret room for a long time, but they still had no intention of coming out, they couldn't help but ask one more question.
Gu Chen walked to the exit of the damaged wall and asked Zhao Ke, "How did you buy this house?"
"I just bought it from the owner." Zhao Ke said.
"Do you still have the contact information of the previous homeowner?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Yes, I have a deposit on my mobile phone, but now after the incident, I can't seem to contact the previous owner again, probably because I changed the number." Zhao Ke also looked helpless.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and said, "That means nothing?"
"Uh! Poor... can it be understood in this way?" Zhao Ke is now unable to refute, after all, it is true that the previous owner cannot be contacted.
Lu Weiwei also had some headaches: "I said Mr. Zhao Ke, since the owner sold this old villa to you, at least he knows why there is a secret room in this room better than you?"
"Besides, this room is decorated as if someone really lived here. It is obvious that someone carefully arranged it. All of this can only be found out by the owner and seller before you are found, but now you say that you can't be contacted? Are you kidding?" ?”
"Female police officer, I... I really can't find it." Zhao Ke also felt helpless now that he felt rather embarrassed.
Gu Chen jumped out of the damaged wall, and also came to Zhao Ke and asked, "What happened to the previous owner? Do you know?"
"Uh..." Zhao Ke was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then looked at Xu Meng beside him.
Xu Meng said straightforwardly: "It seems to be an overseas Chinese family before, an old lady, she said that their family lives abroad, and she will move there to settle down."
"But it's a waste to keep the house here. After all, she doesn't plan to come back here, so she just wants to sell the house."
"That is to say, the owner who sold you this old villa is an old lady?" Gu Chen said.
Zhao Ke nodded silently: "It can be understood in this way, and this old lady is eager to go abroad to reunite with her family, so the price is very cheap, at least much cheaper than the old villas nearby."
"So this should be the problem." Gu Chen said.
