688: Chapter 684: Steel Awl?
Ji Ming finally heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “If that’s the case, Captain Ye, please take your ti and look around inside the house!”
“Alright.”
Ye Tian nodded and then started pacing around inside the room…
Previously, Ji Ming, the secretary from the municipal departnt, had already visited this room multiple tis and turned it upside down, so it was impossible for Ye Tian to find anything amidst the ssy furniture because there simply couldn’t be any clues here.
But when it ca to looking for things, Ye Tian was an expert in his field!
When he was at Xue Yunfu’s villa, it was also Ye Tian who, relying on his abilities, discovered the basent of Xue Yunfu’s house; in the ancient tomb of Jiang City, Ye Tian repeated his trick and obtained the map drawn inside a skull…
If there were indeed any clues in this room, they couldn’t escape Ye Tian’s eyes!
Thus, Ye Tian imdiately used his clairvoyant ability and began searching throughout the entire room.
The disordered furniture and items had nowhere to hide before Ye Tian…
The interstitial spaces of the sofa, the dead angles of the bed, even the inside of the refrigerator, Ye Tian searched them all ticulously, but he found nothing unusual.
There was nothing out of the ordinary in the walls either; they were just ordinary walls…
What about the floor?
Ye Tian’s gaze then focused on the ground beneath his feet.
While Ji Ming watched Ye Tian look left and right, he did not physically search, which sowhat surprised him.
“Captain Ye, if you find it troubleso, may I do it for you?
Just tell where to look, and I will rummage through for you!”
Ji Ming volunteered, but Ye Tian shook his head.
“No need, Secretary Ji, I can find it myself!”
Saying this, Ye Tian continued to carefully examine the room’s floor, but saw nothing in the floor’s compartnts.
Ye Tian then used his clairvoyant ability to search the ceiling above his head, and the compartnts in the ceiling were also completely empty…
That is to say, in this room, he hadn’t found what he was looking for!
Ye Tian was sowhat astonished.
Could it be that the clues he was seeking did not exist in this room at all?
“Captain Ye, have you found anything?”
Ji Ming quickly ca up to ask, concerned.
Ye Tian shook his head and said, “No, I haven’t found anything.”
Moreover, Ye Tian knew that if even he, with his clairvoyant ability, couldn’t find any clues, then it would be even less likely for others to find any!
“It seems there really is nothing here…”
Ji Ming was dejected, realizing that if even Ye Tian couldn’t find anything, he had no choice but to report back to his superiors and give up on this place…
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Ye Tian saw a book on the ground, by the famous Danish writer Henrik Ibsen, “A Doll’s House.”
The book was not thick, and Ye Tian picked it up from the ground and played with it in his hands.
Ji Ming imdiately said, “I didn’t even know about Old Yi’s hobbies until I ca to his house.
I found out he liked reading books, and not only this book but others as well!”
“No!
That’s not it!”
Ye Tian shook his head and pointed to the pile of books on the fallen bookshelf.
“Those books, Yi Zhongyuan probably hasn’t even looked at them!
But this one in my hands is different!
This book has almost been read to pieces!”
“Really?”
Ji Ming also started to carefully examine the book in Ye Tian’s hands, just as Ye Tian had said, this book had been read countless tis, unlike the other books that looked brand new.
“Captain Ye, you truly have a keen eye!
I’ve been here so many tis before and never noticed this at all!”
Ji Ming couldn’t help but admire Ye Tian, but at this mont, Ye Tian didn’t speak.
Ye Tian was intently looking at the book in his hands, and subconsciously, he felt that when looking at this book, he must use his clairvoyant ability!
With that, the book in his hands completely transford!
Inside the compartnt of “A Doll’s House,” there were words, and not just printed words, but words written in fountain pen ink, soone had deliberately written inside the book’s compartnt—
“Save !”
“I don’t want to be manipulated by others!”
“Fate, so praise it, so curse it, but it’s just a rudder in people’s hands!”
“Even in death, I will not submit!”
“Those who make fun of , go to hell!”
“Bastards!
Damned bastards!”
…
Between the lines, all were expressions of indignation, and Ye Tian seed to hear Yi Zhongyuan’s cries of anguish!
Resentnt, sorrow, helplessness, defiance, despair, obsession, fury, struggle…
All these emotions were gathered here!
At this mont, Ye Tian slightly understood what kind of person Yi Zhongyuan was!
“Captain Ye, is there sothing in the book?”
Seeing Ye Tian’s solemn expression, Ji Ming asked in surprise.
Ye Tian gave a bitter smile and said, “No, it’s just that I found the book quite well written, and I got completely absorbed!”
Ji Ming was taken aback, thinking, at such a ti, Ye Tian still had ti to read world-class literature!
Even if Ji Ming was discontented with Ye Tian, he could only respond with a forced smile, “That’s true, Henrik Ibsen is a renowned author worldwide, and ‘A Doll’s House’ is one of his masterpieces, so it’s understandable that Captain Ye would get engrossed!”
“…”
The corners of Ye Tian’s mouth slightly lifted.
From the words Yi Zhongyuan wrote in the interleaf of ‘A Doll’s House’, Ye Tian could tell what kind of person Yi Zhongyuan was, but that only proved that Yi Zhongyuan was problematic, and Ye Tian hadn’t got any more clues from it.
“By the way, Secretary Ji, this should be the fifth floor, right?
For the residents of the fifth floor, this place is the only space available for activity, right?” Ye Tian suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Ji Ming imdiately felt puzzled.
“Umm…
Captain Ye, I don’t know why you’re asking this!
But since it’s an old building without an elevator, the residents here, of course, have only so little space for activities!
Of course, unlike those skyscrapers, in such old buildings, the rooftop can indeed be freely used!”
“The rooftop?”
Ye Tian’s eyes suddenly brightened.
“Yes!
The rooftop!” Ji Ming nodded imdiately, continuing, “Old buildings don’t have property managent, so the rooftop of a building is often used by the top-floor residents, either to plant so flowers and plants or to build a fishpond and keep so fish in it!
Of course, even though it’s the top-floor residents using the rooftop, the space actually belongs to all the residents of the building!”
“Hehe~~~~ Secretary Ji, thanks to you, I finally have so clues!”
Ye Tian smiled again, Ji Ming had no idea what Ye Tian’s smile ant.
“Captain Ye, what clues did you discover?
Can you tell ?”
Ji Ming asked curiously, but Ye Tian didn’t respond and left Yi Zhongyuan’s apartnt, heading straight for the top of the building.
Upon reaching the rooftop, just as Ji Ming ntioned, it was used by the top-floor residents, completely covered with vegetables, looking exactly like a vegetable garden.
Ji Ming followed him up, looking at the densely planted vegetables, he was slightly worried…
“Captain Ye, this is the vegetable garden planted by the top-floor residents, if we stay here too long, I’m afraid others will co up and ask us to leave!”
He was there to search for sothing, not to steal vegetables, so Ji Ming was very afraid of having a confrontation with soone!
But Ye Tian just smiled and said, “Secretary Ji, if it were , sothing very important that couldn’t be kept at ho yet shouldn’t be far from oneself, where would you hide it?”
Ye Tian’s words almost contained the answer, Ji Ming, being a city governnt secretary, could naturally guess.
“Captain Ye, are you suggesting that Old Yi hid sothing valuable on the roof of this building?”
Saying so, Ji Ming began to look around, the entire rooftop was covered with dense vegetables, where could one find any gems shining with a red light?
Ye Tian also used his clairvoyant ability, carefully searching every inch of soil in the rooftop vegetable garden…
“Exactly, that guy hid it here, but it’s not the treasure you guys are talking about!”
“What?
Not a treasure?”
Ji Ming was a bit disappointed.
The leader’s intention was for him to find a treasure in Yi Zhongyuan’s ho.
If what he found was not a treasure but a useless item, why bother at all?
“Of course, I don’t know if it’s a treasure, but I think, from the appearance, you guys probably wouldn’t think highly of it!”
Ye Tian sneered, then his eyes landed on a brick on the rooftop, and he slowly walked towards that brick!
The target was hidden underneath this brick!
“Hah!”
Ye Tian yelled loudly, his fist smashing down towards the ground!
“Captain Ye, what are you doing?”
Seeing Ye Tian actually striking the ground with his fist, Ji Ming was also stunned.
Could this security team captain of Yun Corporation be crazy?
How could a fist compete with the hard ground?
This ti, perhaps Ye Tian’s fist would be bleeding profusely, right?
“Whoosh!”
While Ji Ming was worried, Ye Tian’s fist had already smashed the ground beneath him, and miraculously, his hand suffered no injury.
Ji Ming was dumbfounded, Ye Tian was so formidable, his fist was harder than the floor!
No wonder he could serve as a personal bodyguard to a beautiful CEO like Yun Xinyan…
Amazed by Ye Tian’s strength, he had already retrieved a steel spike from the broken ground.
This steel spike was plain and unremarkable, just like it was forged from ordinary steel…
However, with Ye Tian’s abilities, he could clearly feel the power hidden within the steel spike!
“Captain Ye, are you saying that this is what Yi Zhongyuan had hidden?”
Seeing Ye Tian had found sothing, Ji Ming was also delighted, cautiously asking.
“This must be it, but it might not necessarily be what you guys are looking for!”
Ye Tian said with a smile, Ji Ming carefully examined the steel spike in Ye Tian’s hand, indeed, it was just an ordinary steel spike, if sold, it could at most fetch 10 yuan!
