Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Searching for Clues
Xun Tianhai looked at ng Hongyao, feeling incredibly awkward.
His face turned red, glancing around, seemingly unsure where to place his eyes.
ng Hongyao pressed her lips together, trying to appear calm, and said, “They’ve all left. We’re nearby, let’s check the second floor.”
Xun Tianhai mumbled a reply and followed ng Hongyao to search the second floor.
As ng Hongyao searched, she asked, “Does the Abbot an that Wu Jianhan is in the guesthouse now?”
Xun Tianhai said, “I also don’t know what the Abbot ans, but let’s look around, maybe we can find so clues.”
ng Hongyao replied with an “oh”, casually opening a room to take a look inside. Seeing no one, she went on to search the next room.
Seeing this, Xun Tianhai cald down and focused his thoughts on the task at hand.
anwhile.
Jiangli and Fu Shiyan ford a team.
They naturally grouped together without interference from others, nor did they pay attention to others.
Fu Shiyan followed behind Jiangli, wandering around the guesthouse.
Jiangli seed to be just skimming through, briefly looking at each floor before moving on, without any intention to look deeper.
Fu Shiyan followed her silently, as if that’s what he had always done.
Jiangli walked all the way to the fifth floor without noticing anything unusual.
She paused her steps and suddenly asked, “President Fu, do you think Wu Jianhan is in the guesthouse?”
Fu Shiyan, upon hearing this, finally spoke, “I think, Lili doesn’t seem like she’s looking for Wu Jianhan.”
Jiangli smiled faintly, “Indeed, I’m searching for… sothing evil.”
Fu Shiyan raised an eyebrow, “Has Lili confird it?”
Jiangli shook her head slightly, “No, but since travelers keep disappearing in the guesthouse, sothing must be wrong with it.”
“It’s just that…”
She glanced back at the corridor on the fifth floor.
“We’ve searched the entire guesthouse and found nothing, which is even stranger.”
According to Wu Jianhan’s posts, the guesthouse definitely has issues.
If we find so clues, it could be explained.
But now there’s not a clue, Jiangli thinks it’s even more problematic.
Fu Shiyan followed her gaze around, “So, Lili, what do you think is wrong with the guesthouse?”
Jiangli asked, “In the olden days, guesthouses would have cellars for storing certain items, do you think this guesthouse has a cellar?”
Fu Shiyan smiled faintly, “Maybe.”
Jiangli glanced at him, then the two turned around and went downstairs together.
The two quickly reached the first floor, searched around, but didn’t see any stairs leading underground.
Jiangli pressed her lips, looked around, and turned her steps back to the first floor’s lobby.
She observed the overall layout of the lobby, as if a three-dinsional model of the guesthouse was forming in her mind.
Which area is most suitable for a secret door or hidden room?
Fu Shiyan stood by her side, silent, just watching her.
After a few seconds, Jiangli suddenly turned around and walked toward the nearby study.
Fu Shiyan lifted his legs to follow.
Jiangli entered the study, looked around, “President Fu, don’t you think the study size is a bit unusual?”
Fu Shiyan: “Hmm?”
Jiangli said, “Next to the study is a living room. From the outside, the walls of the living room and study are very thick. At first, I thought it was because of the space taken up by the bookshelves, but—”
Her words stopped abruptly.
Jiangli stepped forward directly to a row of bookshelves, reached out, and knocked on the planks above. Then, as she moved along the bookshelves, she occasionally tapped the boards.
