Ye Zhaoyu quickly took the person's pulse and checked for symptoms of poisoning, but unfortunately, it was too late; the person died within a minute.
Ye Zhaoyu put the person down.
After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly calmed down and realized what was most important at that moment.
If one person knows, then a second and a third will know. The important thing now is to help Ling Yunjue capture everyone.
Seeing that the person had calmed down quickly, Ling Yunjue didn't say anything to comfort them, but simply sped up the pace of the examination.
Everyone sprang into action, carefully checking for any hidden passages.
If the person didn't go down from above, then the only possibility is that they entered through some secret passage.
Or you can enter from somewhere else.
There is definitely no entrance here.
He turned and went to Niu Mazi's house.
Niu Mazi didn't have much else to search for, but he found a lot of money, which I estimate to be around 10,000 yuan.
The entire cellar was searched.
There was nothing unusual about it.
It was almost dawn when the two arrived at the unusual house of the three brothers.
The cellar was the focus of the inspection.
The three brothers' home was not far from the foot of the mountain. The house was dilapidated, with only two rooms habitable. There were no other houses around. They only captured two people, and the other person was out delivering something.
Two cellars were found in the house.
A putrid stench permeated the dark, damp cellar, where three women were imprisoned.
Their faces were haggard, their bodies curled up together, and their eyes revealed despair and fear.
Upon seeing someone enter, they huddled together in fear, their mouths wide open, yet unable to utter a sound, only able to sob silently, like three sharp swords piercing the heart.
They were relieved when they heard that the rescuers had come.
Ye Zhaoyu was the only woman present, and only she could comfort the three women.
Ye Zhaoyu quickly adjusted her state, transforming into a caring older sister, comforting the three of them, settling them in Luo Ming's room, and bringing over three sets of her own clothes for them to change into.
They were given medicine and medical treatment. All three of them had new wounds on top of old ones, and their bodies were covered with marks from being whipped. It was heartbreaking to see them like that.
After Ye Zhaoyu applied the medicine to the three of them and put them to sleep, she went to find Ling Yunjue.
When Ye Zhaoyu arrived, there were 10 skeletons in the courtyard. Judging from the pelvic bones, they should all be women.
As for how long he had been dead, it was impossible to tell.
"Have you found the secret passage?" Ye Zhaoyu asked Ling Yunjue.
Now I'm afraid of alerting the people behind me.
"Not yet. We've only found two cellars, one for imprisoning women and the other for storing things, but we can't find the entrance," Ling Yunjue said gravely.
“Then I’ll go take a look,” Ye Zhaoyu said.
"Okay, go ahead!" Ling Yunjue did not stop him.
She is Ye Lingge's daughter. Ye Lingge may have taught her some unique skills. Wasn't it she who discovered the secret room last time? Maybe she can discover something this time too.
Ye Zhaoyu arrived at the cellar where the women were imprisoned. It was well-lit inside, with lights on.
The cellar could be seen at a glance; apart from a kang (a heated brick bed), there was nothing there.
Ye Zhaoyu went to check the kang (heated brick bed).
"We've checked, there's nothing wrong," someone noticed and reminded them.
Isn't it a waste of time to come back for another checkup after already having one?
"I'm just looking around casually, you guys go ahead with your work?" Ye Zhaoyu replied, and continued looking through the items.
A kang (heated brick bed) cut into a cellar looks really strange.
To put it bluntly, the entrance to an escape room isn't meant to be a distraction.
Creating an entrance is too simple and more likely to attract attention; that's normal human thinking.
After checking, most people wouldn't think the entrance is on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Ling Yunjue's workplace doesn't look simple. Anyone who can get in must have some skills. It's just that they used some kind of cover-up for the entrance.
After looking around, the largest item was this kang (heated brick bed).
If you want to use a kang (a heated brick bed) as the door to the basement, how can you make it discreet so that it fools everyone?
The kang (heated brick bed) is against two walls, so you can only sit on the walls. It's used frequently, so there will definitely be signs of wear and tear.
Ye Zhaoyu checked the two sides against the wall but didn't find anything unusual.
There was nothing unusual about the bottom of the kang (heated brick bed).
"I told you, we've checked, there's nothing wrong with the kang (heated brick bed)," the man said again when he saw that Ye Zhaoyu couldn't find anything wrong.
"Yes, it would be strange if there were no problems." Ye Zhaoyu pushed the kang (a heated brick bed) further into the wall.
A hidden passage was revealed below.
Everyone was stunned; the secret passage they had been searching for for so long was actually here.
The person who spoke quickly adjusted his glasses, wanting to know how such a large kang (heated brick bed) could be made like this and even pushed into the wall.
When Ling Yunjue immediately went to the other side, she saw everyone gathered around the kang (a heated brick bed) studying it. The person who designed this entrance was a genius; he used a wooden structure to make the kang movable.
The walls, which were 20 centimeters thick, were hollowed out to make it easier to move the bed. The hollowed-out kang (a heated brick bed) also left a floor at least 20 centimeters thick, so that no matter how you stepped on it, it felt solid and you couldn't tell that it was hollow.
The entrance is in the middle of the kang (heated brick bed), and the kang is surrounded by a normal and very solid ground.
The kang (a heated brick bed) is convex where it should be and concave where it should be, and the visible signs of use are concealed.
With this kang (heated brick bed), it would take three people to push it open, and most people wouldn't even think of pushing it.
At once……
When Ling Yunjue heard that the entrance had been found, he immediately came over to see it. When he saw the kang (a heated brick bed) inside the trap wall, he was speechless. It was the entrance that the genius had come up with.
Everyone fell silent.
