Chapter 846: Midnight Library
Qin Yang did not forget another important purpose of coming to Taixiong University, that is, to see the magical No. 7 fountain that Xue Ziqian said. 『】
Qin Yang, who has always been firm that "when things go wrong, there must be demons", Qin Yang felt that a fountain near the equator would freeze at midnight every day, and there must be some strange reason for this.
The long-term treasure hunting experience told him that there may be something special hidden in the library of Taixiong University, which is why this unnatural phenomenon is triggered.
At this time, it was less than half an hour before twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and after leaving the venue, Qin Yang and Xue Ziqian rushed directly to the library.
The midnight library during the holiday was empty, exuding the unique fragrance of the pages, which seemed a little gloomy, but this also provided the most natural cover for Qin Yang's tonality.
The fountain Xue Ziqian mentioned is located in the middle of the hall on the first floor of the library, and there are a total of twelve fountains, each of which radiates in a circular shape to the outside.
There is such a fountain in the center of this library, which is completely Western-style architecture, and it is not very obtrusive.
"Is this it?" Qin Yang stopped in front of the No. 7 fountain and asked.
"Hmm." Xue Ziqian nodded affirmatively.
"It doesn't look like any other fountain." Qin Yang said.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
The library bell rang three times in a row.
"It's time!" Xue Ziqian hurriedly said, "Look, it's frozen!" ”
Sure enough, the normally normal water flow suddenly began to slowly freeze from the mouth of the spring, until an arc-shaped hanging icicle was formed, while the other eleven springs were not affected in any way, and they were still flowing water columns.
"Strange, do you feel like the temperature has dropped a bit?" Qin Yang subconsciously rubbed his arms and said.
"No? Is it the psychological effect of seeing ice cubes? Xue Ziqian said suspiciously.
"That's right...... That's fine, it's my psychological effect. Although Qin Yang said so on his mouth, he didn't think so at all in his heart.
Because he clearly felt a chill.
Even if he had cultivated a profound internal force, his own senses were different from ordinary people, and he was able to perceive subtle changes that ordinary people were not aware of, but he should not have such a significant and sensitive reaction.
Therefore, Qin Yang immediately judged that this cold air was not an ordinary cooling phenomenon, but a special force, so Xue Ziqian, as an ordinary person, could not detect it.
In this way, his previous suspicion was further confirmed that this library was indeed hiding some secrets.
Qin Yang closed his eyes and slowly felt the source of this power, and sure enough, it flowed out of the seventh spring!
"Ziqian, is this the first floor of the library?" Qin Yang asked.
"Of course! You can't really be frozen, right? Is it really that cold? Why don't I feel it at all? Xue Ziqian said puzzled.
"Hey! I didn't mean that, I actually wanted to ask if the library had a basement. Qin Yang corrected.
"Basement? I've lived here for four years, and I've never heard of a basement! At this time, Xue Ziqian suddenly thought of something, and then continued: "But...... I do know a person who knows a lot about this library. ”
"Who?" Qin Yang hurriedly asked.
"My sister-in-law." Xue Ziqian replied.
"Guo Caiqi!" Qin Yang was a little surprised.
"Yes, my sister-in-law has been working part-time as a librarian since her sophomore year." Xue Ziqian said.
"Guo Caiqi was a librarian when he was in school!" A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Qin Yang's mind, and after a short period of surprise, he pondered: "Was it difficult for Guo Caiqi to go to school?" Still have to rely on part-time jobs to make money? ”
"Who said that! My sister-in-law started taking on cases when she was in school, and at that time, she could cover a year's salary for any case! Xue Ziqian said indignantly.
"Since there is no shortage of money, why does your sister-in-law work part-time in the library for three full years until she graduates and leaves school?" Qin Yang seemed to be asking Xue Ziqian, and it was as if he was asking himself.
He is now more and more curious about Guo Caiqi, a female lawyer.
"I've never thought about this, so why don't I call her right now, and by the way, I can help you ask if this library has a basement."
Xue Ziqian just took out her mobile phone, Qin Yang hurriedly snatched it over, his slightly rough behavior made Xue Ziqian really startled.
"I'm sorry, I just don't think I should disturb your sister-in-law so late." After realizing that he was out of shape, Qin Yang hurriedly apologized, but he did not tell Xue Ziqian the real reason.
Qin Yang already faintly felt that Guo Caiqi had something to do with the secrets of the library, since it was a secret, then Guo Caiqi might not tell the truth, in this case, he should not rashly pierce this layer of window paper, otherwise it would not be conducive to his continued investigation.
Qin Yang then swore to Xue Ziqian: "I think this library must have a secret basement. ”
"Really? Wouldn't that be fun! I feel like we're in a movie right now! Xue Ziqian said excitedly.
Qin Yang saw that Xue Ziqian was on the road, so he continued: "Then think about where your sister-in-law was usually active when she was the administrator. ”
"What does the basement of the library have to do with my sister-in-law?"
"Stupid! Think about your sister-in-law who has been an administrator for so long, if the library really has an underground secret room, isn't she the most likely to find out? So if we search along the scope of her activities, can't we narrow down the scope of our search? Qin Yang nodded Xue Ziqian's head with his hand and said.
"That's right! Or do you have a way. ”
Xue Ziqian took Qin Yang to a remote corner, except for the slightly more remote location, which was filled with large bookcases like other places, and the books on it were also prosaic contemporary novels.
"When I was in high school, I used to come to my sister-in-law, and at that time I found that my sister-in-law really liked to hang out around this corner."
Qin Yang turned over all the corners of these few square meters, and didn't even let go of every book, took them out one by one to check, and still found nothing.
In the end, it was Xue Ziqian, who was lying on the ground, who woke him up with a word.
"Strange, why is there a socket board under this bookcase? Who would sit on the floor with a notebook and read a book? ”
Qin Yang immediately leaned down, and sure enough, he saw an inconspicuous socket board pit under the bookcase, the size of a palm, and the upper layer of the cover plate of the same material as the floor had been pushed open by Xue Ziqian.
Qin Yang snickered, since it is for the convenience of students' socket board, why is there a cover plate on it to cover people's ears, it is too eager to cover it, right?
