Chapter 435 Hidden Mechanism

Miao Xiaolan frowned when she heard this, "No way, a house with this structure has a basement?"

Han Xu took a few steps back and took a quick look at the layout of the entire building, "This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

To be honest, this two-story building is a self-built house. If a basement is built separately, it is not impossible.

Miao Xiaolan couldn't help but lean over and get close to the ventilation window.

"Hey, this ventilation window is too small, it's so small, how did the black cat get in."

Han Xu moved closer again and took a look at the size of the ventilation window. It was indeed as Miao Xiaolan said, mainly because there was a row of iron fences outside, and the space that could be passed was much smaller.

"Have you never had a cat?"

Miao Xiaolan didn't know why Han Xu asked this, and asked in confusion, "How do you know?"

Han Xu did not answer directly, but explained, "Cats are very magical animals. Generally speaking, a cat weighing about ten pounds can get through a hole that is about one-fifth of its body size.

They are born with the instinct to like to get into box-type spaces, especially spaces that are smaller than their bodies. They can get in easily!"

"Is it so magical? Isn't that the same as mice?" Miao Xiaolan did not have a cat, but the gaps between these iron fences are really too narrow!

Han Xu nodded and said, "The softness of a cat's body is super scary, definitely the most exaggerated in the animal kingdom. It is said that a cat can hide in a place that is not even one-fifth of its body size before it curls up."

Miao Xiaolan heard this for the first time, and couldn't help shaking her head, "It's really amazing!"

"Of course," Han Xu said, while taking out his mobile phone again and shining a beam of light into the dark ventilation window.

However, visibility was still quite poor, and it was impossible to see what was in this mysterious basement.

Miao Xiaolan couldn't help but come closer, wanting to see more clearly, but after looking for a long time, she saw nothing.

"It seems that there is nothing in it?!"

Han Xu frowned a little more when he heard Miao Xiaolan's summary.

"Miao sister, where do you think the entrance to this basement is?"

This question was very abrupt, and Miao Xiaolan was stunned by the question, and asked in confusion, "Yes, where is the entrance? If it weren't for the black cat, it would be pitch black, and we might not be able to find this ventilation window!"

Han Xu then stepped back a few steps and carefully looked at the entire building, focusing on the outer periphery for any suspected entrances.

In the end, nothing was found, so there was only one answer, the entrance to the basement was still indoors!

Miao Xiaolan was even more suspicious, "It's impossible, I checked every corner of the first floor, the entrance to the basement can't be indoors, right?"

Han Xu did not question Miao Xiaolan's professional ability, "This basement is so well hidden, I guess the entrance should have been treated accordingly, or there is some mechanism, let's go back and take a look."

Miao Xiaolan nodded, it was the only way.

However, when the two came out, the door was already locked, so Han Xu had to repeat the old trick and climbed to the second floor terrace again, repeating the previous trick.

Next, the two returned to the duplex building and searched the first floor like a carpet. The key point was of course to find the entrance to the mysterious basement.

However, after another round of searching, they still found nothing!

"Hey, damn it, where is the entrance to this basement?" Miao Xiaolan was still quite confident in her professional ability, but she checked again and still found nothing.

Han Xu saw the whole process, stood in the living room and thought for a while, and then set his eyes on the abstract oil painting.

Han Xu had taken down the painting before, and when he hung it up again, he seemed to see a strange bulge.

Thinking of this, Han Xu couldn't help but walk back to the painting.

Miao Xiaolan followed him in confusion, "What's wrong? Han Xu?!"

"There seems to be something wrong behind this painting!" Han Xu said as he took the painting down again, and then shone the light on the wall behind the painting.

Sure enough, there seemed to be a very tiny bulge there!

And this bulge was perfectly hidden in the pattern of the wallpaper. If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.

Miao Xiaolan came over, but still didn't find the soybean-sized bulge. She looked at Han Xu with a puzzled look, "There's nothing, what's wrong?"

Han Xu ignored her, but stood the painting against the wall and reached out to touch the bulge!

Miao Xiaolan saw it clearly, "Wow, it's hidden so deep! Han Xu, how can you see it?"

Han Xu smiled awkwardly. When hanging the painting before, the auxiliary light source in Miao Xiaolan's hand just hit it!

"It should be a hidden switch," Han Xu said, and pressed it with his fingertips!

Sure enough, a strange sound was heard, coming from the study next door.

Han Xu and Miao Xiaolan looked over at the same time.

"Wow, I checked the study for a long time, but I didn't expect the mechanism to be here! No wonder I can't find anything!" Miao Xiaolan shook her head and sighed that the basement was hidden very secretly.

Han Xu walked straight to the study next door!

In fact, there were no books in this study for a long time. They might have been moved away by the original owner, leaving only a row of wooden bookshelves that reached the ceiling!

"It seems that there is nothing unusual?" Miao Xiaolan, who followed, was even more confused. The study room looked no different from before. Anyway, nothing could be seen with the naked eye.

Han Xu did not say much, but asked Miao Xiaolan to return to the position of the painting and press the mechanism repeatedly.

Miao Xiaolan immediately understood, "It has to be you, so smart!"

The reason why Han Xu did this was to listen to the location of the sound again, so as to determine where the real entrance was!

Sure enough, this trick worked!

After Miao Xiaolan pressed the small bump, the familiar yet strange sound rang again.

Han Xu's eyes immediately fell on the safe in the study room!

Good guy, it is really hidden deep enough!

"Okay, Sister Miao, press it again," Han Xu greeted in the direction of the living room, then walked straight to the safe, bent down and checked it carefully.

Miao Xiaolan pressed the bulge again, then turned back and saw Han Xu staring at the safe, wondering, "No way, is the entrance there?"

Han Xu did not respond, but tried to move the safe embedded in the corner of the bookshelf out.

Fortunately, it was not very big, and it was easily moved away from the original place.

On the back of the bookshelf where the safe was originally placed, a small square door appeared!

It looked more like a dark hole!
