Chapter 2282: Jin Ruitian, that old man, is not easy to fool

The youthful and beautiful aura emanating from her body is something that other men cannot see.

Only those of them who are middle-aged and have seen countless women can notice it.

His silly son seemed unable to find any clues.

So Jin Ruitian could tell almost at first sight that the woman named Rose in front of him was not simple and she was hiding a big secret.

But his gaze only paused for a moment, and then he enthusiastically invited Rose to come in and talk.

Jiang Wan accepted everyone who came and went straight into the living room.

After everyone was seated, Jin Ruitian talked about their family situation again.

This time it's much more complete.

When Kim Hee Chan was talking in the coffee shop before, he couldn't go into too much detail to prevent someone from hearing him.

Now that he was in his own territory, he started to speak without restraint, so Jin Ruitian told Jiang Wan clearly:

"What we want is information and clues about the old man's disappearance. If we can't find any, it would be fine if we can find the key to our vault."

"To make it easier for you to find it, I've drawn a diagram of the vault key. Please take a look!"

As he said this he handed over a piece of paper.

The key on the paper was an old-fashioned one.

It is the size of a palm, and judging from the key, the lock is not small. It is preliminarily estimated that the Jin family’s vault is quite large.

The moment she saw the key, she suddenly didn't want to care about the case anymore.

She frowned and asked, "Since the things in the vault are so important to you, why don't you force your way in?"

"Without the key for so many years, you can't open the vault?"

"Even tomb robbers can demolish the emperor's ancient tomb, so why can't your family's vault be demolished?"

After Jiang Wan finished speaking, Jin Ruitian and Jin Xican's faces looked a little ugly.

The two looked at each other and said hesitantly, "It's not that we don't want to tear it down, but we can't."

"You mentioned the ancient tomb just now. Although our vault is not an ancient tomb, it was indeed built by skilled craftsmen."

"There are countless mechanisms inside. It cannot be opened normally without a key."

"Most importantly, if you don't have the key, when you force the door open, the contents inside will spontaneously combust and burn."

"Even if we open the door, what's the point if we can't get the things inside?"

Jiang Wan frowned and asked, "The things hidden in your vault are gold bars, right? Gold is inherently hard. Even if it's melted by fire, it's still gold when the flames die out."

"At most, the form has changed. Is there anything that can make gold disappear completely?"

What Jiang Wan meant was: Even if the gold is burned out by fire, it will still be gold and water!

Isn’t it still gold after it solidifies?

At most the shape is different, why can't it be burned?

Jin Ruitian smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Ms. Rose, you don't know that there is not only gold in the vault, but also other things, and they are paper documents."

"I won't hide it from you. My father was a very far-sighted man. He opened an account in a Swiss bank before he died. All of the Jin family's savings are kept in this Swiss account, and the password to that bank account is recorded in the vault."

Jiang Wan didn't expect this. It seems that this old man Jin is quite smart, but he made a wrong move before his death!

But when the topic came to this point, there was obviously no need to continue, and Jiang Wan was not the type to ask questions.

It’s none of her business what’s in other people’s vaults.

She was silent for a moment and then said, "I can go in and take a look for you to see if I can find some clues."

"But let me make it clear first, I'm not helping you for nothing."

“You have to pay!”

In fact, Jiang Wan had no intention of asking them for money. She wasn't short of money right now, so there was no need to ask for money for such a small thing.

She actually wanted the Jin family to owe her a favor.

It can save her life at the critical moment.

Now it seems that the Jin family is not very smart and doesn't want to protect her, so it's better to draw a clear line between them.

Even so, she didn't plan to ask for money.

Jin Ruitian thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go in and take a look first, and then we can discuss the reward later."

Jiang Wan nodded and said it was okay, so she followed Jin Xican to a room in the backyard.

This room looks ordinary on the surface, and at first glance you might think it is a storage room.

After entering, I saw some piles of broken objects, such as wood or unused containers.

The Jin family manor is located in the suburbs of Kyoto, and the place where Jiang Wan and the others are now is on the dividing line of the suburbs.

There is a large piece of land behind the Jin family's mansion, so it is not surprising to see agricultural tools here.

However, Jiang Wan still noticed the clue at a glance.

The things in this room seem scattered, but in fact they can be traced. If you think about it a little more, they correspond to the five elements.

Jiang Wan pointed at the rubbish in the house and said, "Could this be the secret room you're talking about?"

Jin Xican shook his head: "No, of course not, the secret room is down here."

He pointed to the ground.

Well, this answer is a bit more reliable.

Jiang Wan motioned for him to open the door. Jin Xican walked over and reached out to grab the pull ring of a wooden board on the ground and pulled it up.

The ground slowly opened up, revealing a doorway, and inside the door were steps leading down.

This should be the corridor outside the secret room, which Jin Xican introduced to Jiang Wan before coming here.

He walked down the stairs and stopped after about 10 minutes. A door appeared in front of him.

This door is quite impressive, made of gold.

It looks golden.

Jin Xican stood in front of the door, pointed at it with a depressed look and said, "This is the secret room. Open this door and you can see what's inside."

"But I can tell you that the smell in there is not very pleasant."

"Ever since my father disappeared, this door hasn't been opened for a long time."

"When I opened it again, the smell inside was still bad, but I couldn't figure out where the bad smell came from."

"We did find a few dead rats. It might be because the ventilation here is not good, so the air can't be exchanged out."

"So, please be more patient when you go in."

Jiang Wan glanced at him in surprise and thought: I didn't expect this criminal investigation team leader to be so gentle and considerate.

It is somewhat discordant and incongruous to put the words "a captain of a criminal investigation team who has solved countless cases" and "a warm man" together.

This thought just flashed through Jiang Wan's mind.

At this time, Jin Xican stepped forward and, with the help of two of his men, slowly opened the heavy golden door.

The secret room inside the door was revealed.
