Mo Xiaoqing turned on her mobile phone and felt her way to the door of the coffee shop with the faint light. Like the small lock on the coffee shop, it was very easy for Mo Xiaoqing to open it.
After entering, Mo Xiaoqing immediately closed the door again, and she quickly searched back and forth in the entire coffee shop.
Indeed, she did not see any hidden space or secret door. Finally, Mo Xiaoqing locked her eyes again behind the bookshelf in the southeast corner.
Mo Xiaoqing thought the design of the coffee shop was very strange. How could they think of putting a table behind the bookshelf.
She walked to the table and pulled away the carpet on it, revealing the floor covered with solid wood flooring.
Mo Xiaoqing knocked on it with her hand and felt that it was indeed empty inside, but there was no flaw at all from the outside, and she could not find an opening.
She looked around to see if there was any mechanism that could open it, but the table on top was motionless.
Mo Xiaoqing was so anxious that she couldn't find any clues. She didn't give up and squatted down again to shine her mobile phone on the immovable wooden table.
Huh? Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw a small button on the back of the table.
Mo Xiaoqing stretched out her hand and pressed it, and there was a snap. On the ground, she magically saw the table move to the side and a square black hole appeared.
It turned out that there was a secret door in this coffee shop, but it was not on the wall or on the ground.
Mo Xiaoqing held the phone and shone it inside for a while, only to find that there was a wooden ladder all the way down.
The light from the phone was too dim, and Mo Xiaoqing could only shine one meter away. It was pitch black inside and she couldn't see her hand in front of her.
Mo Xiaoqing couldn't stop the excitement in her heart. She originally wanted to break in alone, but Xu Yao's instructions were still vivid in her mind.
She immediately took out her cell phone and called Xu Yao, who answered the phone quickly.
"Captain Xu, are you asleep now? I have something to report to you. I found a hidden secret door."
Xu Yao's anxious voice came from the other end, "Are you alone?"
"Yes."
"Where are you now? Send me the location immediately. Don't act rashly now, hide yourself and wait for me."
Xu Yao's mellow voice came from the microphone of the cell phone, and Mo Xiaoqing suddenly felt a little warm in her heart.
Although Xu Yao's tone was impatient, she could tell that he still cared about her.
After Mo Xiaoqing sent the location, less than ten minutes later, her cell phone rang again. It was a message from Xu Yao: I'm at the door, open it.
Mo Xiaoqing quickly ran to the door and opened it. A tall figure came in with a gust of cold wind.
He rushed in panting, and before he could catch his breath, he asked directly, "Mo Xiaoqing, are you okay?
" "No, isn't it okay?"
Xu Yao's tense shoulders relaxed, and he looked at Mo Xiaoqing carefully.
"Well, not bad. This time you finally listened to me and didn't act on your own."
Mo Xiaoqing led Xu Yao to the back of the bookshelf in the southeast, and said as she walked: "
Captain Xu, you only remember my previous recklessness. Don't worry, I will listen to your instructions in the future.
Captain Xu, look, this is it."
Xu Yao walked to the square hole, took out a flashlight from his backpack and shone it inside. When he was about to go down the stairs, Mo Xiaoqing took the initiative to get ahead.
Unexpectedly, before she stepped out, Xu Yao grabbed her back, "Stay behind me."
Xu Yao took the lead in stepping into the stairs going down. Hearing the creaking sound of the wooden stairs, Mo Xiaoqing was not afraid at all, because Xu Yao was right beside him.
With the illumination of a spotlight, Mo Xiaoqing finally saw clearly that the wooden stairs went all the way down, and the walls were very damp.
After walking for a while, they came to the basement, and they smelled the damp and musty smell as soon as they entered.
The room was very messy, with moldy quilts, and the wooden wardrobe next to it had fallen to the ground.
Mo Xiaoqing had to carefully find an empty space to step on, "Captain Xu, I heard from Aunt Liu that this coffee shop was opened by Chen Xinfu.
Why did he build a basement under the coffee shop?"
Xu Yao did not answer her, but shone the flashlight carefully on the ground.
Mo Xiaoqing suddenly found a photo frame on the ground. She wiped off the mud and plaster on it, and saw a photo of a little girl with a bright smile.
The face looked familiar, and she was suddenly surprised, "Captain Xu, look. The girl in this photo should be Chen Xinjiao's daughter Tang Siyan."
Xu Yao still didn't say anything, and continued searching on the ground, "It seems that this is where Chen Xinjiao is hiding."
Mo Xiaoqing suddenly realized and nodded, "No wonder there is a photo of Chen Xinjiao's daughter."
She suddenly found a broken incense burner on the ground with a few unburned incense sticks next to it.
"Captain Xu. Chen Xinjiao's hiding place is actually under the coffee shop opened by Chen Xinfu. So, the direction of our previous investigation has been wrong."
"It seems to be the case. Look at the daily necessities on the ground, there are beds, quilts, and dishes. The most important evidence is Tang Siyan's photo.
There is an incense table and incense on the ground, which should be used for sacrifices." Just don't mention the right side, a few pieces of waste paper were gathered from the ground, remember to observe it, and then said,
"This is Chen Xinjiao's notes."
After listening, Mo Xiaoqing asked: "Should we ask other colleagues to investigate now?"
"Don't worry! Doing so will only alert the enemy. This is our speculation. We need real evidence. Even if the police confirm that this is where Chen Xinjiao is hiding and the coffee shop is opened by Chen Xinfu, it is not enough to prove that he is Chen Xinjiao's accomplice."
After hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing was helpless, "What should we do?
Aunt Liu said that Chen Xinfu has been managing the coffee shop during this period. The staff of the coffee shop also said that Chen Xinfu would come here whenever he had nothing to do.
It's so obvious, can't it be proved?"
Before Mo Xiaoqing finished her words, Xu Yao's face suddenly changed color. He stretched out one hand to cover Mo Xiaoqing's mouth, and the other hand held her waist.
Turning around, Xu Yao took Mo Xiaoqing and retreated to the back of the overturned closet, and the two of them were close together.
Mo Xiaoqing pricked up her ears and heard faint footsteps coming down the stairs.
She could vaguely see a beam of light shining down from the stairs, and Mo Xiaoqing held her breath. She could feel Xu Yao's heartbeat speeding up behind her, and the warm breath on her face made Mo Xiaoqing's face start to heat up again.
Mo Xiaoqing shook her head. When did she still have such a crazy love affair?
Soon, the light in the room was swaying left and right. Mo Xiaoqing could only tilt her head slightly and look outside.
She finally saw clearly that it was Chen Xingfu who came downstairs. He shone a flashlight on the ground, as if he was looking for something.
Mo Xiaoqing didn't dare to breathe, and was held by Xu Yao. Finally, after three minutes, Chen Xinfu turned around and walked up to the stairwell again.
Just then, she heard the sound of the door above being closed. After two minutes, Xu Yao let Mo Xiaoqing go.
