Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 198 How to open the box
  Gu Xun turned his head and glanced at Han Fei, then continued to pretend to look around the room.

Han Fei's analysis was correct. The footprints on the bloodstains were very conspicuous, and the left and right feet were obviously different in depth. There should be no killers who were lame or injured in their legs and still went to work these days. Therefore, it should be the work of the partially disabled Li Kai.

Although he is disabled, his martial arts skills are not completely disabled. Killing a drunk Liu Yi should not be a problem.

The reason why Zhang Liang did not confirm the killer's guess was because of this doubt. However, Zifang had a high emotional intelligence and never told everything, always leaving room for others to express themselves.

"The killer's strength is average."

"Brother Gu, where did you find out?" Han Fei asked curiously, "The murderer can avoid the patrolling guards and kill Master Liu. He should not be weak, right?"

"Look at Liu Yi's belly. How much strength do you think he still has after years of eating, drinking and having fun? What's more, he was very drunk last night. How long can he sober up?"

"As for those nursing homes... Just listen to them. Do you really think they will be of any use?"

After refuting the second half of Han Fei's sentence, Gu Xuncai briefly explained the origin of his conclusion:
  "Although Liu Yi died by sealing his throat with a sword, the blood was sprayed far away from where the body fell. There was not much blood in the wound. It was obvious that the sword was not drawn out fast enough and the wound was too big to close. That’s why the blood spurts out, and when he falls down, there will be no more blood left.”

"The strength of the person who did it is obviously far behind. If it were Wei Zhuang, he could kill without blood even with a rusty sword, and let the blood of the deceased slowly flow out from small wounds after death. "

"You are comparing Brother Wei Zhuang... Is the standard a little high?" Han Fei had a complicated expression when he heard Gu Xun's analogy.

The martial arts he said were not weak were not at the same level as those of Wei Zhuang!

Gu Xun turned his back to Han Fei and shrugged, "There is no point in lowering the standards. They are all weaklings and there is no point in comparison."

"Of course, the person who can cause such a wound must at least be someone who knows martial arts. If you are like you and don't know anything, you can only open a very big wound like killing a chicken, and let the bleeding corpse fill up. All over the body."

"Okay." Han Fei was very open about being looked down upon for his strength. Hong Lian had been bullying him a lot recently with his martial arts skills, and he was used to it.

"Liu Yi, what are you doing in the study with nothing to do?" Han Fei touched his chin and muttered, not knowing who he was asking.

As he said that, he followed Gu Xun's example and went to the other side of the bookshelf, touched it casually, and looked at it, "The bookshelf is full of dust, and the books are also dusty, and there are no traces of frequent reading, that is to say Liu Yi actually doesn’t read these books at all.”

It was normal not to read it. Han Fei knew very well who Liu Yi was, and he was not a person who could read at all.

In other words, these things are just for show?

Zhang Liang stood beside Han Fei and also observed all this. At this time, he reminded lightly:
  "Master Liu, it seems that he is not a person who can do this kind of superficial work..."

Liu Yi was born as a military general and had never pretended to be elegant. There was no need to build a study room to show off. Who would he receive? Ji Wuye?
  Han Fei also understands this, so...there must be something wrong with this study!

Gu Xun saw that the heat was almost gone, so he stopped pretending and slapped the bookshelf with his palm, spitting out the power of his palm.

Bang!
  With a loud bang, the bookshelf suddenly disintegrated and shattered, revealing the entrance to the secret room behind it.

"Oh!" Han Fei and Zhang Liang were frightened by Gu Xun's unexpected palm, "Brother Gu, what are you doing?"

As soon as Han Fei said this, he and Zhang Liang caught a glimpse of the looming passage behind the remains of the bookshelf.

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Secret room!"

There wasn't much surprise in the tone, just an unexpected hint.

Hearing the noise, the servant from earlier came over in a hurry, "What's the matter, my lords?"

"Uh...it's nothing. I just accidentally knocked down the bookshelf. I will pay for it later." Han Fei replied with an embarrassed look.

His embarrassment was not about losing money, but that he felt that what he said was too nonsense, but it was inconvenient to tell the truth, so he could only tell lies with his eyes open.

"..." The servant silently glanced at the remains of the bookshelf that was broken into at least a hundred pieces at Gu Xun's feet. He didn't dare to say anything or ask anything.

He didn't have the right to talk about an old man who could be like this if he accidentally knocked him down. "You are just joking. It's just a bookshelf. There is no need to compensate. Besides, no one can accept your compensation now."

"If nothing happens, I'll take my leave."

"Don't worry." Han Fei waved to the other party to stop, "I'll ask something more."

"Do you usually clean this study room?"

"No cleaning." The servant shook his head directly, "The master has specifically given instructions. No one can enter the study without his instructions."

"This morning, I called you, sir, for a long time, but I still didn't get a response. I had no choice but to come in and take a look."

"Okay, you can go down."

Then, he and Zhang Liang walked to Gu Xun, stood side by side, and explored the secret room together:

"Brother Gu, how do you know there is a secret room here?"

"There is something wrong with the structure of the house. The outside space is larger than the inside. This area is obviously missing some space." Gu Xun explained casually.

However, this explanation was relatively reliable, and both Han Fei and Zhang Liang believed it.

Han Fei slapped his forehead and said, "Indeed, I forgot about this obvious clue. It's Brother Gu's keen observation."

"Stop talking, let's go in and take a look." Gu Xun waved his arm downwards, and the debris blocking the entrance to the secret room was blown aside by a strong wind, completely exposing the passage.

It was very clear what was in the secret room. It was just a broken box.

Han Fei walked up and fiddled with it a few times, touching several buttons but failing to open the box.

Zhang Liang said from the side:

"It seems to be a secret box made of mechanism. Can Brother Han open it?"

"It can be opened..." Han Fei touched his chin and looked at the box, "I just don't know how long it will take."

Zhang Liang smiled when he heard this, "Then please take Brother Han back and drive slowly."

"Zifang, you've started teasing me too." Han Fei couldn't help shaking his head and scolding with a smile.

Zhang Liang still responded with a warm smile.

"Brother Gu, I wonder if you know how to open this kind of box?" Han Fei is so lazy, he will definitely not spend a lot of time opening a box, so he will find free labor as soon as possible.

"It can be opened, no problem. It can be opened with up to three numbers." Gu Xun nodded, not refusing at all.

"Haha!" Han Fei sneered a few times and chose to give up, "I'd better not bother Brother Gu anymore."

How many breaths does it take to open it?

Needless to say, it must be opened in the same way as a bookcase.

I don’t know what’s in this box yet. If it’s something important, wouldn’t it be a bad thing to slap it and scrap it?

"Brother Wei Zhuang should be very good at opening this kind of box. Let's go back and find him." When his plan failed, Han Fei immediately thought of his all-purpose tool man - Wei Zhuang.
