Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: Staircase
Bai Changfeng pointed at himself, “We arrived just in ti?”
Jiangli said, “Just in ti to leave two people here to keep watch, to prevent anything from sneaking out, or others suddenly not finding us and getting worried. You guys stay here and watch.”
Bai Changfeng and Zhu Ming were taken aback.
They originally thought Jiangli intended to let them go in and take a look.
Just as they were thinking about going in, after hearing Jiangli’s words, both were a bit surprised.
But Jiangli didn’t give them a chance to speak, directly stepping into the passageway between the walls.
Fu Shiyan and Xia Xin imdiately followed, one in front and one at the back.
Bai Changfeng and Zhu Ming exchanged a glance.
Bai Changfeng gave a faint smile and said, “Forget it, we’ll stay here and watch.”
Zhu Ming was indifferent.
Now, in front of Jiangli, he didn’t have the courage to speak up.
Basically, whatever Jiangli instructed, that’s what it was, he didn’t think much more.
…
Behind the bookshelf was a narrow passageway, wide enough to allow only one person to pass through head-on.
Jiangli walked in front, Fu Shiyan in the middle, Xia Xin at the back.
Upon entering and turning right, the wall seed to have motion-activated lights installed.
As soon as Jiangli’s foot stepped in, with a slap, the lights ca on.
The visibility inside the passageway instantly beca clear.
Jiangli looked forward and saw there was a staircase leading down about two ters ahead.
“There’s a staircase up ahead, looks like there’s more space below,” Jiangli said.
Xia Xin craned his neck, but Fu Shiyan was too tall, blocking his view, so he could barely see the road ahead, only able to ask, “Is there really a basent below? Could it really be a secret murder room?”
Jiangli stepped forward.
Fu Shiyan said, “Judging by when this secret room was built, it’s been a while, doesn’t seem newly constructed, and it doesn’t seem chanical but handcrafted. To build such a large secret room here could only an that the owner of the guesthouse had the ti and resources to complete such a large project.”
Jiangli had already reached the steps leading down, hearing Fu Shiyan’s words, she turned to look at him, “Are you suspecting it’s related to Wu Jianhan?”
Fu Shiyan’s expression was indifferent, “Just a guess.”
Xia Xin followed behind them, saying, “I think what Fu said makes sense… If it were outsiders, where would they find the ti to build such a large secret room in this place? The guesthouse belongs to Wu Jianhan and He Ruoi, but He Ruoi only cos over on weekends with their kids to help out. Even if she wanted to build this secret room, she wouldn’t have the ti, and Wu Jianhan would surely have noticed, wouldn’t he?”
Jiangli neither confird nor denied, then said, “Let’s go down and take a look.”
She walked straight toward the staircase.
Fu Shiyan whispered, “Be careful.”
Jiangli paused her steps, moved her lips as if to say sothing, but ultimately said nothing, proceeding downward.
Xia Xin followed them down cautiously.
Luckily, there were also motion-activated lights on the wall beside the stairs.
As they passed, the lights ca on.
Xia Xin exhaled slightly, his heartbeat quickening slightly. In the overly quiet environnt, he could even hear his own heartbeat.
“How long is this staircase? We’ve walked about ten ters already?”
Jiangli said, “We’re here.”
Xia Xin looked ahead and his view suddenly widened.
Ahead was a massive open space, roughly seventy to eighty square ters. Apart from so load-bearing pillars and a few cabinets, there was nothing else.
It was easy to see from one end to the other.
Xia Xin followed them in and looked around, “There’s actually such a large secret room here?”
