The three men walked into the alley to the west of the silversmith's shop, and at the end there was a door, which was open.

This is the first time Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua have walked into the front yard of Ran's house.

Ran Shikai's wife was standing in the courtyard waiting for them.

The couple led Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua into the West Wing, which was where Ran Ruzhai slept.

The area of the west wing is about 50 square meters.

The entrance to the chamber was under the bed—a large wooden bed with a roof of rosewood had been removed. At the bottom of the large wooden bed against the west wall, there is a square hole about 60 centimeters long - the floor is paved with tiles with a side length of 60 centimeters. There is a square hole in the wooden wall with a side length of about 30 centimeters, and the wooden wall is inlaid with a wooden board with a side length of 35 centimeters and a little thicker, and on the wooden wall below the square hole is a wooden board with a side length of 35 centimeters, and this wooden board is prying off from the square hole.

Inside the square hole above the wooden wall is a round stone pillar about ten centimeters high.

"This is the mechanism that opens the secret door of the secret room." Ran Shikai limped to the square hole above the wooden wall, holding the stone pillar with both hands, turning it counterclockwise.

Immediately afterward, a square brick with a side length of about sixty centimeters slowly moved outward from under the wooden wall, and in about twenty seconds, the secret door of the secret room and the floor tiles completely coincided.

Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua looked at each other for a moment, and the designers of the entrance and exit of the secret room were very ingenious.

"I knew when I was fifteen years old that I could open secret doors, and my father never avoided me. Every time my father entered the secret room, it was in the middle of the night. I had never been down before, and my father had deliberately let me know the secret. ”

There is a cover light on the half-section of the cupboard.

Ran Shikai turned the stone pillar clockwise, and the secret door moved slowly, and after twenty seconds, the secret door retracted back to the bottom of the wooden wall.

Ran Shikai took the cover lamp from the woman's hand and walked to the secret door, Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua saw a wooden ladder under the square cave.

Ran Shikai was the first to go down the hole, followed by Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua.

The height of the ladder is around two meters. On the north side of the ladder, there is a wooden door about ten centimeters thick, and an old-fashioned large copper lock hangs on the copper nose of the wooden door, and a key is inserted in the keyhole.

The wooden door was open.

Inside the wooden door is a secret room of about six square meters.

In the southeast corner of the chamber are two old-fashioned water chestnut-colored wooden boxes with red bird motifs painted on them.

Both wooden crates are open.

Each wooden box has several wooden boxes inside, and the wooden boxes are all open. The wooden boxes were badly deformed, and some were about to fall apart.

Inside the large wooden boxes and small wooden boxes were a dozen pieces of broken silk, which were supposed to be used to wrap things.

Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua smelled a very special smell, don't forget, before this, Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua had just been to the Changsheng antique store, if they hadn't been to the Changsheng antique store, Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua might not be able to express the characteristics of this smell, in short, Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua smelled the same smell as the Changsheng antique store in the secret room, to be precise, the smell in the secret room was stronger than the smell in the Changsheng antique store.

"Now, I can be sure that the contents have been taken by them, and my father's sudden death must have something to do with the contents of the secret room."

"Perhaps, this stuff didn't exist a long time ago?"
