Be the group pet of the villain's grandfather

Chapter 288 Basement

When Chu Mingshu walked into the villa, she was greeted with an unpleasant musty smell, and with the faint light, she could see fine dust floating in the air.

She walked into the living room and saw some simple furniture, all covered with white dustproof cloth, covered with dust.

"This villa has not been entered by anyone for three years, and the spider can call itself the master."

She picked up the spider web between the two chairs with her fingertips, and black spiders the size of her fingertips frantically penetrated.

She pouted, "Where do you think the entrance to the basement will be?"

"The basement of my house is in the study."

Mu Jinyan rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "There are several rooms in the basement of my house. If you ask Li Tianhao, he must have an impression."

Oh, it turned out that Li Tianhao was locked in the basement of his house.

Chu Mingshu turned around and found the study according to her memory.

The villa had no electricity, so she could only see the moonlight lighting through the windows.

Mu Jinyan followed after him. He took out the lighter, held a fire around the floor, and then held a fire in front of the bookcase in the study.

The bookcases are all custom-made, sealed from floor to ceiling, and there is no book in the bookcase.

Mu Jinyan held up the lighter, and there was no abnormality in the flame until the flame jumped by the bookcase in the corner of the wall.There is nothing suspicious about the empty bookcase, and suspiciousness is regarded as the opening of the entrance.

Mu Jinyan squinted his eyes, and touched the bookcase with his palm. Chu Mingshu saw something interesting, walked over, and asked, "Where is the entrance?"

"Well, this study is airtight, and the flames shouldn't jump, unless there is a secret space with air circulation inside."

After speaking, he touched a small protruding thing on the side of the bookcase. He pressed it hard, only to hear a "click", and the sound of machinery running in the study.

Mu Jinyan pulled Chu Mingshu, and took two steps back. After holding it in his arms, the bookcase plywood in front of him moved up, and the panel against the wall slowly opened, revealing a square entrance half a person's height.

Standing outside, one can vaguely see that the stone ladder is going down. The passage is dark and completely bottomless. Just standing outside and looking at it, one can feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

Chu Mingshu covered her mouth uncomfortably.

Mu Jinyan saw how disgusted she was, and said worriedly: "If we can't accept it, we'll go back and come back when we're ready."

"No! I can take it!"

Chu Mingshu stubbornly took a step forward, staring at the dark passage in front of her, and silently stepped back two and a half times, she said with a sad face: "You should go ahead!"

Mu Jinyan held back his laughter, took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and squatted forward slowly.

Chu Mingshu hesitated, but if she gritted her teeth, she followed.

She scolded as she walked: "Who designed the basement passage, the height is half the height of a person, is there something wrong with it, the designer likes to crawl!"

Mu Jinyan, who is 1.8 meters tall, had to lower his head after squatting down to avoid hitting a wall.

At this passage height, he wants to curse!
She walked forward cursing, and the passage of the secret room behind her was also closed, returning to the previous appearance.

A few minutes later, Mu Jinyan and Chu Mingshu finally walked out of the basement. They stood up and stretched tacitly.

This broken passage almost made them shiver!
At the end of the passage is the basement, and unexpectedly, Chu Mingshu touched the button of the light here.

The entire basement is brightened up.

The two closed their eyes to avoid the sudden bright discomfort in the dark. After adapting to the surrounding lights, they slowly opened their eyes to see the whole picture of the basement.

The basement is not too big, but there is a small room.

The hall was mostly empty, save for an old-fashioned computer and a bed made of straw with a sheet on top.

The basement was not paved with slate tiles, it was all hard soil. She stepped on it a few times, and remained abnormally silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Mu Jinyan was interested in the computer in the basement. He sat at the computer desk and turned it on.

He had never seen this kind of desktop computer with a big butt. After turning it on, he picked up the mouse, and the arrows on the screen could still move.

This is an old computer with a Windows 2000 system. He clicked on all the hard drives, and checked all the places where files might be stored, but there was no clue at all.

Presumably, if Jin Xiang was really in the basement and used this computer to record something, then she would definitely take everything with her after she left.

Even Chu Zonghe would clean up everything in the computer quickly.

This computer, apart from being dusted here, is useless.

He tapped the table three times with his fingers, stood up, and went to accompany Chu Mingshu.

She had gone to the small room in the basement.

The small room is the bathroom, with a simple toilet and shower, but there is another strange thing in this room, and that is the mirror.

The strange thing is that the mirror does not illuminate the inside, but the outside.

Chu Mingshu stood in front of that mirror, silently looking at what was reflected in the mirror.

In the mirror, there is a corner of the courtyard, overgrown with weeds, wildly growing roses, and a drowsy sky.

When Mu Jinyan saw this, he was quite surprised, "This is a corner of the reflection courtyard, for the people in the basement to see!"

Chu Mingshu touched the weeds on the mirror, and when he wiped it, his fingertips were covered with dust.

"I know where this is. There are four or five fish ponds in the yard. This fish pond is in Rose Corner in the backyard. Because of the rose flowers, my brother and I like to play there."

Chu Mingshu stared blankly at the mirror, "During those years when my mother was locked in the basement, if she missed us, she would look at this mirror, which is equivalent to looking at me and my brother."

Mu Jinyan's heart was also throbbing. If the reflection in this mirror was really for the people in the basement to see the children outside, it would be more painful than the punishment for the mother.

The mother who was locked in the basement leaned on this mirror to watch the time and stare at her child...

The person who made this design is simply a devil!
He literally separated the child from the mother!
Chu Mingshu bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best not to cry, she strode out of this room, resisting the bursts of sadness in her heart.

Standing behind her, Mu Jinyan couldn't help sighing softly, how could he selfishly tell her not to be sad when he saw this kind of thing.

Rubbing the top of her head with her palm, she said distressedly: "We can leave at any time."

"……hold on."

She looked at the floor, the bed made of piled up straw, she doubted whether it could keep warm.

Bite the bullet and walked over, squatted down and touched the dusty sheets.

Sheets were cold, damp and not usable at all.

Enduring the soreness in his nose, he randomly grabbed the bed sheet, but vaguely saw something under the straw.

She froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and took away the straw...

"these are……"
