Noticing something was wrong, Bao Yu quickly stood up, moved the chair aside, lifted the carpet, and then tapped the spot where she had just stepped.
This is even more obvious now.
However, the floorboards were tightly sealed, so it didn't seem like they could be opened directly. Who knew there was a mechanism hidden inside?
Modern government agencies are of two types: one is based on the imperial examination system, which is commonly known as one that can be remotely controlled. Such agencies are practically nonexistent in the face of Bao Yu.
Another type is the ancient mechanism, which uses gears, tenons, or levers. This has a drawback: no matter where the switch is, it must be related to something else in the mechanism. You can always find it by looking in reverse.
Using his mental powers, Bao Yu quickly located the mechanism. Just as he had predicted, the floorboards under the desk suddenly opened to both sides.
Surprisingly, there was a basement here.
It's a villa area. If this were an apartment building, would he dig out a basement to take a look?
Bao Yu arrived at the basement and was shocked by what he saw.
Is Ma Jianhua really that rich? His basement is filled with antiques and valuable paintings and calligraphy. There's even a box of gold!
It wasn't until she found a diary that Bao Yu learned what had happened.
Ma Jianhua's success today is inseparable from the help of his father-in-law's family.
Unexpectedly, Ma Jianhua set his sights on his father-in-law's family's property. After discussing it with his wife but failing to get her consent, he came up with other ideas.
First, he pretended to gamble and lost a lot of money. When he couldn't cover the losses, his father-in-law provided money to plug the hole.
Later, he said that he had made a mistake in a moment of confusion, took the company's money to invest, and ended up losing it all. If the company's money couldn't cover the losses, he would have to go to jail.
Having already lost a large sum of money, the old man was truly out of money. However, his daughter cried so bitterly that he had no choice but to agree to sell the antiques to make up the shortfall.
Time and again, Ma Jianhua swindled the elderly couple out of all their money.
They even suspected the old man of having ulterior motives. Soon after, the old man suffered a heart attack and died on the spot.
At first, Ma Jianhua's wife didn't think anything was wrong, perhaps because she was too saddened to believe it. However, when her mother died of the same illness again, and Ma Jianhua was alone with her before she died, Ma Jianhua's wife became suspicious.
She had a habit of keeping a diary, and after flipping through it, she discovered how terrifyingly coincidental everything was.
So she sent a letter to her son at the boarding school and confronted Ma Jianhua alone.
Unfortunately, she was no match for Ma Jianhua. The recording pen was discovered, and she died "accidentally."
It has to be said that Ma Jianhua is cunning. With his father-in-law and wife both dead, his father-in-law's money naturally became his own.
Therefore, who can prove that he obtained these things in his basement by deception?
How can we catch him when there's no way to verify his story?
Judging from the notes, this diary was likely written by Ma Jianhua's wife. It seems that Ma Jianhua at least once loved his wife.
Unfortunately, blinded by greed, they committed a terrible crime.
The diary can only serve as simple testimony and is insufficient to prove that Ma Jianhua committed murder.
To bring Ma Jianhua to justice, some irrefutable evidence is needed.
Just as Bao Yu was staring at the diary in a state of confusion, he suddenly noticed that the diary seemed to have a problem with its thickness.
Without a second thought, Bao Yu pried open the last page of the diary. Inside, she found a voice recorder!
