At 7 o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark. Miss Miyano rested her chin on her arms, standing in front of the window sill, gazing at the star-studded Lake Ashi below.
Even though it was already night, there were still many tourists and boats on Lake Ashi, and even the night market at the foot of the mountain was very lively.
Gurgle...
Miss Miyano straightened up suddenly, covered her stomach, looked back at her boyfriend, and when she found that he was checking the floor, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll be right there."
Sakaki Makoto said without even raising his head:
"Let's go to the night market later. I'm a little hungry."
As his fingertips slid across the seams on the checkered floor, Sakaki Makoto frowned and finally realized what was wrong.
“There’s something wrong with this floor.”
"floor?"
Miss Miyano followed suit and squatted down to check. After a while...
"Is this floor a little smaller than the wooden floor downstairs?"
"I'll go down and take a look."
Sliding down the stairs, Makoto Sakaki found a tape measure and measured the size of the bedroom floor. The floors of this house are all made of rosewood lacquered floors, which are quite expensive.
Of course, the materials are the same and the sizes are basically the same.
The standard length and width of the floor in the bedroom is 750mmX90mm, and the same applies to other rooms.
After gathering this information, Sakaki returned to the attic and measured the dimensions of the attic floor. The result was...
"700mmX60mm, it's definitely a lot smaller than the one downstairs."
It would be difficult to notice if a 0.7-meter-long floor suddenly became 5 centimeters shorter.
Sakaki Makoto calculated and said:
"A floor in the attic is 0.021 square meters smaller than a floor downstairs."
"The attic runs across the entire house, so how many more pieces of flooring are used?"
"If we calculate it based on 200 yuan, then there should be 4 square meters of space in the attic that has not been discovered..."
Standing up, Sakaki Makoto turned his head to look at the row of full-length mirrors and said with a smile:
"I see..."
"What a great trick."
"yes..."
Miss Miyano also laughed:
"Uncle even used an optical illusion effect."
"The purpose of placing a full-length mirror in the attic is to attract the attention of observers and make them mistakenly believe that the secret is hidden in the mirror, but in fact..."
"This row of mirrors is nothing but a trap."
"The real point is right under our feet!"
The full-length mirror not only lengthens the human body, but also creates a visual effect of a large space, making people ignore the 5cm details under their feet.
If Sakaki hadn't deciphered the secret code and knew that there must be something strange in the attic...
I'm afraid he wouldn't notice this and instead focus on the life-size mirror, only to end up with nothing.
"Where did the lost chamber go?"
Miss Miyano looked around and asked:
"We checked several times and even knocked on the walls, but we didn't find any other mezzanines."
"The Chamber of Secrets does not exist in this space."
Sakaki sneered:
"From what happened just now, it's not hard to see that my dad is a very smart man. When everyone thought that the secret room was here, he must have done the opposite!"
"In this room..."
“There’s a second attic hidden!”
"That's impossible..."
Hearing this, Miss Miyano was stunned for a moment:
"I checked everything. There is only one entrance and exit to the attic, and there are no traps in other rooms."
"You didn't find the secret room because its entrance is not in the house."
Walking to the window, Sakaki opened it, climbed onto the roof, and said in the evening breeze:
"It's on the roof!"
The roof is triangular in shape, with a keel in the middle and steep slopes on both sides. It is a very standard single-family house structure.
same...
There was nothing on the roof except a signal receiver.
“Be careful!”
Miss Miyano shouted:
“It’s 10 meters high here!”
"rest assured!"
Sakaki Makoto responded:
"You're down there, poking the edge of the ceiling with the clothesline and telling me where it is!"
Picking up the clothesline, Miss Miyano began to walk around the edge of the attic, poking the ceiling with the clothesline as she walked.
soon...
Sakaki Makoto came to the innermost side of the roof. The "dong dong" sound coming from below did not appear under his feet, but there was a space left.
“This is it…”
Bending down, Sakaki Makoto began to slowly knock on the tiles under his feet. At first, there were muffled sounds, indicating that the bottom was solid and there was no way to hide anything, but...
As he approached the corner of the roof, the sound changed, becoming crisp and ethereal.
His eyes lit up, and Sakaki Makoto carefully picked up the tile and put it aside.
The tiles were lifted up one by one, revealing a rectangular wooden board underneath, which was nearly 2 square meters in size.
This is the smartest thing about Sakaki Ryunosuke. He did not use all of the extra 4 square meters to build the secret room. Instead, he divided it in half, poured half with cement to form a solid wall, and used the other half to build the secret room.
Take a deep breath...
Sakaki Makoto lifted the wooden board and saw a small dark secret room.
The secret room is not big, like a larger safe. In the 2 cubic meter space, half is used for people to stand, and the other half is used to place boxes.
Bending down, Sakaki Makoto took out the box, rubbed his hands, and felt a little excited.
After much hardship, he finally found the clue left by Sakaki Ryunosuke. Could the box contain information about the Black Organization or about his own life experience?
