Xue Yan handed the key to Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue took a quick look at it. Other than two big keys and one small key, there was nothing special about it.

Then, she said, “Let’s look around this room. Maybe the lock is somewhere in this room. After all, he always stays in this room alone and has never let anyone come in.”

“Yes.” Xue Yan responded before carefully searching in this room.

Jiang Yue stopped talking and began to search carefully.

No matter what was in the room, they investigated every nook and cranny. They even knocked on the wall from time to time to see if there was a secret room.

However, even when they looked carefully at the outer room, they did not find anything.

“This is impossible. How can there be nothing strange about this room?” As he spoke, he started to ponder.

Jiang Yue also thought that it was impossible. “If there’s nothing in this room, then why has he been living alone in this room? Obviously, there should be something here.” Then, she looked around the room. Seeing that the door next door was open, she asked, “Who lives next door?”.

“No one. It’s just an empty room.” Then, he thought of something. “Oh right, every time I come here, the door is always open. Maybe it’s a cover-up to make people think that there’s nothing wrong, but there’s something going on inside. Besides, it’s just next door. If there’s any sound next door, he can usually hear it from his room.”

“Fan Jianxi is cunning.” Jiang Yue said. “Let’s go next door and take a look.”

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded.

After entering the room next door, Xue Yan lit up the lamp. Unlike in the past, where he had to look at everything without a light. After all, there were people on duty and even servants sitting at the door of Fan Jianxi’s room next door. Moreover, Fan Jianxi lived next door. If he lit the lamp, he would be easily discovered.

It was dark outside, so he couldn’t see well. Even if he wanted to look at every nook and cranny in the room in the past, he could not do it.

Now, things were different. Fang Jianxi had been knocked unconscious, so there was no need to be afraid of making any noise — especially the wall between this room and the room next door.

As long as there was any movement on this wall, the people next door would be the first to hear it. If there was any noise in other parts of the room, the next door might not be able to hear it. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both felt that if there was something suspicious in this room, the problem was probably on this wall.

There was an antique shelf on this side of the wall. There were some things scattered on the shelves on the antique shelf, and the things placed there were very suspicious looking.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan carefully checked this shelf, as well as the things in the grid, and did not find anything unusual. He pushed the shelf away and looked at the wall carefully, but he didn’t find anything strange.

They felt that it was very likely to be near this wall, however, there was nothing wrong with this wall and the ancient shelf. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan squatted down and lowered their heads to check the ground near the wall. They also knocked with their fingers at everything they could find.

Then, he realized that after a square wooden brick was knocked, it echoed. Moreover, if the antique shelf had not been moved away, the entire wooden board would have been pressed down by the antique shelf and was located under it.
