"Damn, it turns out we were wrong all along!"

I couldn't help but curse out loud.

Li Shun looked at me inexplicably: "What's going on?"

I told him the ins and outs of everything that happened in the past few days.

He frowned and began to think.

"The guest room over there has never been occupied. It's just a place to store sundries. But I always felt that the structure of that place was not right. There might be a secret room underneath."

I am simply exhausted now: "What would your father put in the secret room?"

Li Shun shrugged: "What else can there be, gold, silver and jewelry..."

Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something, and his expression became serious: "Also, among the various antiques, they may include the Gumantong you mentioned."

Having said this, we turned around and ran towards the room at the end of the corridor at the same time.

But when we arrived, a huge lock had been locked on the door.

Li Shun searched for the keys he could find on his body, but couldn't open it.

"Damn, you're even on guard against me." He cursed.

If you have no choice, then you can only use this trick.

I took out a paper clip from the side pocket of my school bag.

It took a moment to open the lock directly.

Li Shun looked at me with surprise on his face: "Master, how come you can do this kind of thing?"

I smiled: "It's just a gadget."

We were about to open the door when suddenly a majestic and deep voice came from behind.

"What are you two doing?"

I quickly hid the paperclip in my pocket and said innocently, "Nothing, I'm leaving tomorrow and I want to visit this big house."

While talking, I blocked the lock and quietly locked it again.

Li Shun also said for me: "Yes, I will take him for a walk. What's the matter, father, what can you do?"

He glanced at us a few times, saw that the lock was still locked, and left without saying anything: "It's okay, you just take your time and stroll around. Just remember to eat later."

Having said that, we saw with our own eyes that he found a servant to guard the door.

It seems that it is impossible to go in directly now. There is no other way. Li Shun and I have no choice but to leave.

"By the way, you said your stepmother is missing. Why don't you take me to see what's going on? Maybe I can be of some help."

He thought for a while and agreed, but there was no progress now anyway.

It wasn't too far down the mountain, so we arrived in a short while.

Compared with the Li family's original residence, this house can almost be described as shabby.

It's just a small wooden house.

After greeting several guards, we went in without knocking.

At this time, there was a woman in the room sitting on a chair wearing a towel and enjoying the sun.

As soon as she heard someone coming, she quickly got up.

She is a woman who looks very delicate. Time has left traces on her face, which only makes her more gentle. The clothes on her body are not luxurious, but they are very decent.

"Xiao Shun, why are you here? I heard from the security guard that you were here yesterday. Why didn't you tell me? I didn't prepare anything. Is this your friend? Please sit down."

As she spoke, she led us to sit in front of the sofa.

But Li Shun kept a cold face. She had a somewhat panicked look on her face, so I quickly said hello to her to ease the embarrassment.

She smiled at me.

Li Shun didn't appreciate it, and said with a dull face: "You are still here, where were you yesterday?"

The woman seemed to be at a loss again: "I, I went out for something yesterday. I told your father, didn't he tell you?"

Li Shun snorted coldly: "Get out? Who gave you such rights? The murderer can still walk around."

After he finished speaking, the look on the woman's face became very sad.

Although I know the cause and effect, I still can't help but feel that Li Shun's words are a bit excessive.

"Li Shun, please be more polite." I whispered.

Li Shun gave me a strange look and said nothing more.

"By the way, you probably haven't eaten yet, so I'm going to help you make something."

As she spoke, she hurriedly turned around and entered the kitchen.

Although this place is not big, it is very warmly decorated and looks very lifelike.

After looking at the decorations around her, it seems that she is a woman who knows how to live a good life.

I sat down and quietly said to Li Shun: "Li Shun, are you sure that your stepmother is the murderer? Why do I think she is a nice person? She has a much better temper than you."

Li Shun glanced at me sideways: "Oh, weren't you on my side before coming here? You switched sides so quickly."

I retorted: "What? I call it seeking truth from facts and seeing is believing."

“You’re in this business and you still believe that seeing is believing?”

I was so choked by him that I couldn't say a word.

"Forget it, let's talk about something else. Something will happen in the house tonight. We have to find a solution before dark."

"Last night? What happened last night?"

I told Li Shun what happened last night.

When we talked about the sound of women's footsteps last night, we suddenly heard the sound of plates being broken.

I was startled and quickly turned around to see Li Shun's stepmother coming out with fruit.

But she dropped the plate and the fruit scattered on the floor.

"Well, I'm really sorry. My hand slipped and I scared you two. I'm really sorry."

While apologizing, she bent down and picked up the fruit.

Li Shun and I looked at each other.

He stepped forward and said to his stepmother: "Hey, do you know something? It's a matter of life and death. You'd better tell me quickly."

I stepped forward and quickly helped him pick up all the fruits and put them back on the plate. At the same time, I said: "Auntie, this matter really has a great impact. Please tell us quickly, otherwise someone may die tonight."

of."

While talking, we returned to the sofa.

"By the way, Auntie, I don't know what to call you yet." I looked at her with a smile.

She replied softly: "Just call me Aunt Bai."

"Then Aunt Bai, can you tell us what you know about that woman? Don't worry, I will definitely solve this problem."

Li Shun also nodded, this time without any harsh words.

She seemed to be very hesitant. She glanced at Li Shun for a few times before saying, "Oh, I'll tell you, Xiao Shun. You may not believe it, but after all, I'll tell you frankly."

"The woman you are talking about, I met her more than ten years ago."

That woman appeared after Li Xiong went out to buy antiques. At first, the woman only appeared in Aunt Bai's dream, just like the most clichéd ghost movie, chasing her and threatening her life.

At first, Aunt Bai took it to heart, but as time went by, she began to feel listless, and Li Xiong also noticed this.
