Chapter 190: Sure enough, there is something
[Red Wolf, can you find out how many cameras are near where I am?]
Lu Siyin hid behind the tallest building nearby.
After waiting for half a minute, there was no response from the other side, so Lu Siyin could only continue typing: [Spicy strips...]
Red Wolf: [Ten.]
Lu Siyin: "..."
[In the villa a hundred meters away]
Red Wolf: [Five.]
Lu Siyin: [Send me the distribution.]
Not long after, Red Wolf sent the layout of all the cameras nearby after marking them.
Clear and concise.
Lu Siyin took a look and memorized it in his mind.
[Can you make them stop working temporarily? It won't take long, just three seconds.]
Soon, Red Wolf sent two words: [Simple. 】
Lu Siyin closed the chat box, looked at the towering building in front of him, pressed the device on his right wrist with his left hand, and instantly ejected a thin rope of more than ten meters. Although it was thin, it was firm. He climbed to the end of the rope and ejected it again, repeating this cycle over and over again.
Hidden in the darkness in a black suit, his movements were impeccable, quick and agile, and he reached the top of the building in the shortest time.
Lu Siyin panted slightly, and kept sending messages to Red Wolf: [Right now.]
Red Wolf: [OK.]
The moment he saw his message, a rope that appeared from nowhere shot straight from Lu Siyin's position toward the villa a hundred meters away.
At
the same time, Lu Siyin ran on the rope as fast as a leopard, as if walking on flat ground.
Like a cannonball, it was fired silently.

Lu Siyin successfully arrived at Cheng Wei's villa without alarming anyone.

She jumped down from the rope in mid-air, and her feet stepped on the grass in front of the villa on the left, disappearing the sound of landing.
The place where Lu Siyin landed was a shadow, and the whole person was covered by darkness, blending into the night.
The camera returned to normal.
In the long time, the three seconds just now were insignificant, and it ended in a blink of an eye, and no one noticed.
Lu Siyin walked along the wall and saw that the lights on the first and second floors of the villa were turned off. There was no figure or movement. She held her breath and concentrated. The closer she got to a room, the more she could hear long and even breathing.
It was three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the fake must have fallen asleep.
Taking advantage of the blind spot of the camera, Lu Siyin crawled straight to the study next to the bedroom with a clear goal.
She gently pushed open the window and turned over and stepped in.
The blue curtains were blown by the wind and swayed in an arc.
Lu Siyin looked around vigilantly, but did not find the camera, so she relaxed a little.
The study was very large, with dark brown sandalwood floors laid neatly. Next to the window was a row of long sofas, with a single sofa on each side, and then a long desk, with a whole wall of bookshelves in front and back.
Lu Siyin first looked through the things on the desk and in the drawer.
Nothing...
Then she came to the bookshelf, looking at the rows of closely packed books, and her head was overwhelmed for a moment.
Why are there so many books!!!
Why do you, the leader of a "bandit" organization, read so many books?
I think it's because you've eaten too much salt and have too much free time!
Lu Siyin cursed in his heart while flipping through a book at random. It was completely blank, with no trace of having been turned over.
Lu Siyin: "..."
Well, I blamed him wrongly. So many books are just for show.
Lu Siyin still didn't believe it and flipped through a few more books. The situation was the same. She rolled her eyes speechlessly and put the book back.
When she put it back, she glanced to the side and suddenly paused. There was a book next to it that was turned upside down.
Lu Siyin took out the book suspiciously and flipped through it from beginning to end. Strangely, there was nothing unusual.
He reached out and touched its position on the bookshelf. It was smooth and without any marks. There was no mechanism like in novels or TV dramas.
Lu Siyin sighed and thought he was overthinking.
He put the book back to its original position.
Wait...
Lu Siyin frowned and looked at the ordinary book with his eyes curled up. Suddenly he realized a problem that he had been ignoring.
The books on these two rows of bookshelves are all arranged from small to large, and even the number of words in the titles is from few to many.
The first row has one word, the second row has two words, the third row has three words, and so on.
It is obvious that the person who placed these books has more or less obsessive-compulsive disorder.
With this thought in mind, Lu Siyin looked around again. There was an identical plant in each of the four corners. The sofas in front of the window were on a horizontal line with equal distances between them, and were located right in the middle of the window. The desk was also in the middle of the room. The square floor was connected naturally without any gaps. Even the overhead lamp was a symmetrical square.
All these things showed that the owner of this room was a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder patient.
Then... how could he put a book upside down and make
it unnoticeable? The person who bought and placed these books could only be the real Cheng Wei, and since the counterfeit next door could imitate Cheng Wei's appearance, personality and even charm, how could he not know that he had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder? In
order not to be noticed by others, you have to imitate another person in every aspect, and no details can be missed, so the counterfeit knows what plants Cheng Wei likes to put in the study, where the sofa, desk, cabinet, etc. are located, which pen holder should be on the table, and the distance between the computer and the left and right sides of the table should be equal.
Therefore, there can only be one reason for this book to be placed upside down, and the counterfeit is also investigating something.
He had already flipped through these books one by one. Perhaps he felt the same as he did just now. He didn't believe that Cheng Wei bought a bunch of books just for display. He thought that they must be a trick and checked them from beginning to end.
It turned out that Cheng Wei bought these books for the sake of showing off, which made the counterfeit more and more annoyed and irritable, and finally put the book back 180 degrees upside down.
What was he looking for?
Could it be the same thing he was looking for now?
Lu Siyin was sure that there were no clues in the two rows of bookshelves, so she decisively changed her position.
After that, she even looked at the plants in the four corners, and even knocked on the ground with her fingers, but there was nothing.
Could it be that it is not in the study
? Aren’t important things usually placed in the study?
Lu Siyin scratched her head irritably, and saw the swaying curtains out of the corner of her eyes. Her brows tightened, and she moved the single sofa in front of the window with one hand and pressed it over.
There was no movement, and it was not even as loud as the sound of Lu Siyin stepping on the floor.
Wait, step on the floor...sound...
surprise burst out in her eyes, brighter than the moonlight shining through the window.
Lu Siyin went back and walked again on the floor that had just been covered by the single sofa.
It looked like there was no flaw, no different from the surrounding sandalwood floors, and the sound made when stepped on was also similar to other places.
But Lu Siyin still heard a slight difference. The sound was not empty but not 100% solid either. There was a gap underneath.
Realizing this problem, she squatted down without saying a word and tried to pry the floor tiles with the black hairpin in her hair.
Unexpectedly, it was so easy to pry it up. Lu Siyin was so excited that her heart was pounding, as if all the blood in her body was gathered to her head. She broke out in sweat and the corners of her lips were stiff.
Holding the slightly lifted brick, the situation below gradually came into view.
Lu Siyin's pupils shrank.
Sure enough, there was something...
