Chapter 227 Wushan
Lu Yi led them around to the other side of the house. Looking at the side wall in front of them, Su Ji was completely dumbfounded. "This is it? There's nothing on this wall. How are we going to climb up?"
Wu Dong's house is a detached two-story building. Su Ji didn't feel much pressure on the front because there were some protruding places to lean on. But now, this side is just a wall, with only a small window on the second floor.
Lu Yi looked at him with a smile, "You can't do it already? It's only a little high. That window is only three and a half meters high at most. You can climb up there with a little effort."
Zheng Fei frowned. "It's not as easy as you make it out to be. Be careful, safety is the most important thing."
Lu Yi shook his head helplessly, "But this is the safest place. It's backed by a large open space, there are hardly any people around, and we don't have to worry about being seen."
But if people are passing by in front, then nothing can stop them.
"Fine, you guys wait here for me! I'll go up alone, that way I'll make less noise."
Su Ji and Zheng Fei could only wait below. Su Ji stared in disbelief at Lu Yi, who nimbly climbed up in no time. "Is he that amazing?"
Zheng Fei chuckled, "No matter what, Lu Yi is the heir of the Lu family. He was raised in the army since he was a child, so how could he not have any skills?"
Su Ji swallowed twice. "Looks like I'll have to avoid offending him in the future..."
Lu Yi climbed up quickly. He clung to the window and, with a push, flipped himself up. He gently stepped onto the ground, looked at the room in front of him, and smiled twice. Sure enough, he remembered correctly; this was Wu Dong's dormitory.
Lu Yi had a clear goal: Wu Mei's previous tactic was simply to put things under the bed, and that would be enough.
Lu Yi looked at the bed in front of him, suppressing his disgust, and rummaged through it. Finally, he found the doll under the bed board, wrapped it in a cloth, and stuffed it into his pocket.
The instant he put it in his pocket, he felt something else in his pocket start to heat up.
That was a talisman given to him by Su Ji; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to attack directly.
Even after Lu Yi got the doll, he didn't rush to leave and continued searching.
There was another reason why he chose this place as the first location: as Qingye had mentioned before, Liu Min was from the same hometown as Wu Mei, so perhaps there would be some discoveries here.
A short while later, Lu Yi found a box at the bottom of the wardrobe. The moment he saw the box, he knew that it must contain something very important.
Because the box was actually made of sandalwood and had a gold lock on it, Lu Yi casually picked up an iron brooch from the dressing table next to him.
He skillfully inserted the pin into the eye of the needle, and with a few fiddling movements, the lock was opened.
Lu Yi carefully put the pin back in its original place without leaving any trace, and then carefully examined the contents of the box.
The contents were mostly money and a few gold bars, which Lu Yi wasn't interested in. He continued to rummage through the contents but didn't find anything.
He looked the box inside and out, wondering if there was really nothing there.
But he felt there should be something there. Lu Yi pondered, and suddenly remembered the time he and Ranran robbed Xu Qiang.
Old items like these usually have a hidden compartment. Lu Yi's eyes lit up, and he gently tapped the bottom of the box a few times, discovering that it was indeed as he had guessed, with a thin crevices underneath.
Lu Yi fiddled with the box for a while before pulling out a hidden drawer. He opened it and found a yellowed old photograph and a piece of paper torn from a workbook, also yellowed.
Lu Yi picked up the photo and saw a line of text written on the back: "A group photo of all teachers and students of Beitong Elementary School in 1949."
Looking at the words above, Lu Yi felt a ripple in his heart. 1949?
