Chapter 56 Finding Clues

Although the anti-theft door is very strong and is known as the safest door, but with Zhang Chao's efforts, he still reluctantly accepted the two unexpected guests, Zhang Chao and Emily.

After the two successfully entered the house, they started the biggest purpose of the trip without any delay----exploring unknown areas and finding mysterious clues.

When they came last time, although they also inspected the house to a certain extent, the time was relatively short, and most of them were concentrated around the deceased and in the study of the deceased.Other locations were not searched further.Then after the people from the police station arrived, they left and handed it over to the people from the police station. I don't know if they have conducted a careful search, and I don't know what they searched, but what is certain is that they did not They didn't get what Emily and the others wanted, otherwise Emily and the others wouldn't make another trip.

The search went smoothly. Not long after the two entered, Zhang Chao found a safe under the bed in Tom's bedroom.The safe is not big, and it is locked with a double-layer combination.It is impossible to open the box without knowing the code and the sequence in which the combination lock is turned.

Zhang Chao was very excited when he found the box in the bedroom, and immediately found Emily who was searching in the living room despite the dust on his body with the box.

"I found it. I found it under the bed in Tom's bedroom." Zhang Chao said excitedly holding up the safe. No one will crack such a thing, maybe someone from another group will be asked to crack it.But none of these can destroy Zhang Chao's mood at this time.

"You mean you found it under the bed? Could you touch it with your hand?" Emily looked at the exquisite box and frowned and said, without showing Zhang Chao's excitement.

"Uh... I found it under the bed, but it wasn't easy to get it. I got it all under the bed. It's in a very deep place, so I can't get it with just reaching out." Zhang Chao He didn't understand what Emily meant by asking this question, but it didn't prevent him from describing the real situation to Emily.

"I'm afraid this is not what we are looking for." Emily thought for a while and said, but the answer she gave was not what Zhang Chao wanted, but an answer that Zhang Chao didn't want to accept.

"Why? The thing under the bed and locked in the safe must be very important. Why isn't it what we're looking for? The most important thing is that we haven't seen what's inside. How can we be sure it's not it? ?” Although Zhang Chao has always believed in Emily, but this time he felt that Emily might have made a wrong judgment.

"Emotionally, I want to believe that this is what we are looking for, but my mind tells me that this is not what we are looking for. What we are looking for is something very important to Tom, something that can be used at critical moments. Of course, the life-saving things may also be the things that will kill him. Such a thing, he would not put it in the safe so obviously, isn’t this just to tell everyone that this thing is very important?” Emily knows that Zhang Chao He also knew that if he did not explain clearly, Zhang Chao would not give up.

"And then?" Zhang Chao was confused, not quite understanding what Emily was talking about.

"Well, you can think of it this way. Suppose this thing is your gun. The gun is very important to you, and it is also very important to others. Then you will lock it in the safe and put it under the bed. Is there a place you can't reach?" Emily saw that Zhang Chao didn't understand clearly, so she gave him a metaphor, a metaphor he was very familiar with.

"No, I will put it in a place that I can easily reach. This way, when danger comes, I have enough time to react." Of course Zhang Chao knew that the gun should be placed in his own hand. It's safe, it doesn't matter where you put it.

"That's it. This thing is as important as your gun. It may be more important to Tom than the gun, so he will definitely put things where he can easily reach them." Emily knew Zhang Chao I will definitely understand, just look for it while talking, the living room must be the place where Tom stays most often, because there are the most traces of life here.And no matter where you go, the living room is the only way to go.

Another important point is that the living room is a place that many people will care about because it is too obvious. The normal way of thinking is: put things, especially important things, in a secret place, and the living room obviously does not meet the requirements. this condition.

Based on the above points, emily judges that this thing must be hidden somewhere in the living room and it is an inconspicuous place, and it is more likely to be an obvious place but not a suspicious place. ignored.But often the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is, because not everyone has reverse thinking, and even if there is, not everyone believes it.

But Emily knows that Tom must be the one who can think backwards and believes in it.Because they're the same kind of people, and so is Emily, it's an advantage to use your own way of thinking to figure out where Tom is kept.

Emily sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the direction of the TV, then flipped through a few magazines on the coffee table, and then reached under the coffee table to touch, apparently thinking that this was the best place to store them.But things were not as simple as Emily thought, because she found nothing in the possible storage points.

Zhang Chao watched Emily meditate there and then began to search. After finding nothing, he continued to meditate and then searched in another place. After finding 4 or 5 places in this way, Zhang Chao became a little impatient.

"Could it not be here? Basically, we have searched everywhere we can see and touch, but there is nothing, maybe it is not here at all."

Even Emily, who searched several places but found nothing, became a little restless and not so calm.But she still felt that her judgment was correct. After hearing Zhang Chao's words, she didn't object but sat there and reflected.The overall idea is correct, but why can't I find it? What is the problem?

After Zhang Chao finished speaking, he saw that Emily stopped searching, and then sat there without making a sound, obviously lost in thought, so he didn't bother her, but Zhang Chao couldn't be as persistent as Emily.After seeing that he couldn't find it in the living room, Zhang Chao decided not to disturb Emily's contemplation and went to other places to continue searching. It would obviously be more efficient for the two of them to act separately.

Emily saw Zhang Chao's actions and did not stop him.Zhang Chao has always been skeptical about Emily's judgment, and now Emily has not made any progress, and his own actions are not unexpected, and Emily doesn't care.It even feels better this way.

Zhang Chao has been watching here, and Emily is also a little nervous, unable to make a good judgment.It's not that Zhang Chao disturbed Emily's sight, it's just that Emily felt that Zhang Chao's gaze was too substantial, she could feel it, it was just a little awkward.

After Zhang Chao left, Emily continued to think, if you always act blindly without thinking, actions will not have any great results.At this moment, Emily is summing up her failure experience and lessons.To formulate a policy for the next step of action.

It's just that Emily couldn't figure out where Tom hid the things, which really echoed the saying: If one person hides something, no one can find it. Emily leaned on the sofa in frustration, and recalled the whole incident, to see if there was anything she missed, and inevitably recalled Zhang Chao's words when recalling.

This is when Emily suddenly realized that she might have gotten into a dead end and fell into a strange circle, so she didn't gain anything.This is also thanks to Zhang Chao's words, which woke up Emily.Emily didn't pay attention when Zhang Chao said it, but thinking about it now, what Zhang Chao said was also a breakthrough point.

After emily found the key point, she changed her thinking and began to look for other locations. The hard work paid off, and finally emily found a hidden compartment at the junction of the sofa and the wall and got a kraft paper bag.

Emily intuitively felt that this bag was what they were looking for, so Emily didn't open the bag to look first, but called Zhang Chao who was in another room, and the two of them looked together.

After the kraft paper bag was opened, Emily took out a document from it. The top was a photo. There were several people in camouflage uniforms, holding guns, leaning on an off-road vehicle and smiling happily at the camera. .

"Hey, they are indeed related. These two people are the deceased in our case." Zhang Chao looked at the photo, pointed to two of them and said, his tone could not hide his surprise.

"Well, these two people are indeed the dead, but there is no Tom in the photo. How did they know each other? Obviously these people are a team on a mission." Emily looked at the photo and said.

"The person who also took pictures of them is Tom. A mercenary team like this has a special agent who takes on the mission. They don't take the mission by themselves, but have a special contact person. Maybe this Tom is Their contact person." Zhang Chao was not surprised at all, as if he had seen it before.
