Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen Underground Secrets

There are two steps in front of the lifter. When you walk down the steps, you will see a concrete walkway in front of you. The width is the same as the empty door walkway above, and the length is about five meters.The walkway is surrounded by concrete, and a small 15-watt lamp is installed on the concrete wall on the right. With the help of the weak light, the road can still be seen clearly.Two meters in front of the aisle, there is an iron gate. Fortunately, this gate is not locked now. After Ye Wan passed through the iron gate, she walked two or three steps, and found that there was a fork in the right side of the passage.This fork is a little narrower, only about sixty centimeters wide.A small lamp similar to the one on the corridor wall was also installed in the depth of the concrete wall. Since the sidewalk was very long, this small lamp could not withstand the darkness at all, and the space appeared very gloomy.

Looking at the fork in the road, Ye Wan hesitated a little and didn't turn in for the time being.She walked a few steps forward, and found that at the end of the corridor was a small spiral iron staircase going downwards. She didn't know if it led to hell.Ye Wan regretted not calling Gao Pingying at this time, if he was there, he must be the one to explore, and she wouldn't have to make painful choices.In the end, Ye Wan gritted her teeth, and decided to enter the side road to have a look first, and then go up the stairs leading to hell. The side road was much longer than the aisle, Ye Wan walked about ten meters, and she still hadn't reached the end.She stopped suddenly, because in the dark space, she vaguely heard a very strange sound, a bit like a moan, and a bit like a cry, but it didn't sound like a human voice.The sound came from the end of the fork. This sound reminded Ye Wan of an animal, that is Jack the wolf dog. This was the whining sound of a dog because of hunger.

Analyzing the location at the end of the side road based on the route she took just now, Ye Wan thinks it might be the underground walkway behind the garage, that is, the underground kennel.This fork must be connected to the kennel, and it is a hidden way to escape. The real mission of the wolf dog is probably to guard the secret outdoor door that can lead to the underground.Could it be that those three people have already escaped from this secret passage?Ye Wan turned around and walked back while thinking, she didn't dare to go to the end of the side road, because she couldn't deal with that dog.

Return to the original route and walk down the spiral staircase. The staircase does not rotate very much. It simply bends twice, and the height of the drop is about three meters.Ye Wan came to a standstill in the middle of the walk, because she heard voices again, it was the voice of a conversation between people, there were men and women, it seemed to be the three people who disappeared. "I'm so worried about Ye Wan, can you bring her down too?" Ye Wan recognized a woman's pleading voice as her aunt. "Your life is still on the line, what do you care about your niece." A man reprimanded impatiently, it was Shen Huaqi's voice.

"You shouldn't have moved all the food down, which makes me watch from above." A voice complained, it was Uncle Zhang. "Surveillance ass." Shen Huaqi said sarcastically, "There are only a few people, and it is clear at a glance, who will not let go of the Shen family's property, isn't it the woman surnamed Wu." "Can she do this alone?" Uncle Zhang asked Shen Huaqi suspiciously, "Also, can hiding underground solve the problem?" Shen Huaqi didn't answer for a while, as if he was also confused by these questions.Ye Wan didn't understand these people, didn't the side road lead to the kennel and the outside world, why did they hide underground?Inadvertently, the brass buttons on her coat cuffs touched the railing of the iron stairs, making a slight and crisp metal collision sound, which alarmed the people underground.

"Ye Wan! How did you get in?" Ye Caixia looked at the person arrested by Uncle Zhang and asked in surprise. Ye Wan broke free from Uncle Zhang's hand and walked to her aunt, telling her how she discovered the secret door.Ye Caixia was overjoyed, she held Ye Wan's hand, and said to Shen Huaqi: "This is God's will, God let her come down." Both Shen Huaqi and Zhang Bo frowned and looked at Ye Wan sullenly, showing incomparable disgust and embarrassment at her sudden appearance.Ye Wan also guessed their inner thoughts, they were disgusted with the intrusion of unrelated people, the embarrassment was because she was Ye Caixia's niece, if there was no aunt here, Ye Wan knew that the end would not be good.She observed the magical underground space. It was like an apartment, with a living room, a kitchen and bathroom, and a bedroom. Although it was a bit crude, it was very practical.

As long as you think about it a little, you can know where the underground space is relative to the ground. After descending from the door of the secret passage, the aisle is going forward, which is the same direction as the aisle of the empty door of the house, facing the deserted field behind the house.In this way, the location of the underground space is under the deserted field behind the house.The area here is about the same as the garden, and the depth seems to be less than half of the garden.What a wonderful rose garden in ruins. I don’t know if this underground space existed before, or it was built after my aunt moved in. Judging by the age of the building, it seems to have existed before.

Ye Caixia pulled Ye Wan to sit on the couch, and told her sadly that it was possible to escape underground.Unexpectedly, the closed people were so familiar with the structure of the house that they knew the secret passage in the kennel and welded it to death with iron bars, so they had to stay here and wait for the opportunity.Hearing these words, Ye Wan suddenly understood that everything was still under the control of the closed person. "They didn't notice when you came down, did they?" Shen Huaqi asked displeasedly. "No." "Above the house, what's the situation now?"

Ye Wan thought for a while, and told Shen Huaqi the truth about the situation above. When she came down, everyone else was in the room. Gao Pingying and He Yi stayed up late last night and are now sleeping.Ye Wan also revealed an important situation, that is, there is a twelfth person hiding on the fourth floor, including the relationship between this man and Shen Dan. As soon as she told the secret, the expressions of the three people in the underground living room all changed.Panicked, doubtful, uneasy, nervous, the changed face was mixed with complex hostility, it seemed that there was hostility towards Shen Dan and also towards the twelfth person, anyway, their expressions made Ye Wan puzzled, what is the twelfth person Who is it that makes them react so strongly?

"What kind of man is he?" Shen Huaqi asked gloomyly. "Around 30 years old, thin, long face. The first time I was on the fourth floor, only his feet were seen. The second time, he and Shen Dan were bumped into by me in my aunt's room, and I was pushed downstairs by Shen Dan At that time, I saw him running towards the fourth floor, but I didn't see his face because his head was covered with a black silk net." Ye Wan said roughly. Ye Wan's answer caused the expressions of Shen Huaqi, Zhang Bo and Ye Caixia to change again, becoming anxious and angry.That expression seemed to have a certain certainty about the twelfth person.Ye Caixia thought about the appearance and characteristics of the twelfth person, looked at each other with Shen Huaqi, and said a name in unison - Yu Jian.

Shen Huaqi turned to look at Zhang Bo again, Zhang Bo's small eyes showed an evil smile, it seemed that he agreed with Shen Huaqi and Ye Caixia's guess.After the two looked at each other, they walked towards the second small room on the left of the living room.In the middle of the underground space is the living room. There are two small rooms on the left side of the living room, and a simple kitchen and toilet on the right side of the living room. The door of the second room was equipped with an external padlock. Shen Huaqi took out the key to unlock the padlock on the door, and then used the key to unlock the door below. Then he and Zhang Bo quickly went in and closed the door.There was a little noise in the room, but it soon disappeared.Why is the room so mysterious that it needs two locks?Ye Wan had a question mark in her heart. "I'm so glad you came underground." Ye Caixia looked at Ye Wan happily. "Auntie, who is Yu Jian?" Ye Wan asked, she had never heard of this name. "It's Shen Dan's boyfriend." Ye Caixia complained softly, "I didn't expect that they would join hands to seize property." The twelfth person may be Shen Dan's boyfriend, no wonder he will walk with Shen Dan.For the sake of the Shen family's property, this man joined hands with Wu Meilan to stage a ghost murder case. Anyone related to the Shen family's property will be killed.Then, the last person to inherit the property is Shen Dan, and Wu Meilan and Yu Jian behind her can control the property as her guardians. It was a very poisonous plan to seek wealth and murder. The two signed letters must have been created by them. The purpose was obvious. One was to create a ghostly atmosphere, the other was to get Wu Meilan to come to the door with an upright reason, and the third was to get Shen Hua into a trap.It's just that they didn't expect that two unrelated people broke into the plan - Ye Wan and Gao Pingying.The deadliest thing was the appearance of policeman Gao Pingying.Because, as long as the police exist, the ghost murder case will be self-defeating.But they have already launched a plan, and it is impossible to stop. They can only proceed according to the plan, but the target person has fled underground.In this battle for property, we still don't know who will win and who will win in the end, and who will live and who will die.Ye Wan glanced at her aunt, feeling a little puzzled in her heart, because she couldn't find the grief of losing her son on her face, could it be that Shen Huaqi was afraid that she would be sad, so he didn't tell her about Shen Le's death? "Aunt, Shen Le, he..." Ye Wan tentatively probed. Ye Wan's words touched Ye Caixia, her face was slightly sad, but she still didn't see too much pain.The aunt quietly said something that Ye Wan didn't quite understand, "I hope mother and son can meet in heaven".Ye Wan felt that her aunt must have been hurt too much, when a person's grief reaches the limit, they may become numb.Seeing her brother and son die one after another, maybe the aunt guessed that she was going to die too, and when death took hold of her heart, grief was meaningless. "Caixia, come in." Shen Huaqi suddenly opened the door and called Ye Caixia in, not knowing what they were discussing.He calls his sister-in-law by her first name. This habit should come from his former classmates.Ye Wan got up and went to the kitchen, she wanted to solve the problem of hunger.The kitchen is a bit messy, because a lot of things have been moved from above, taking up the refrigerator and the place where things can be placed. Ye Wan ate a few slices of bread and drank a cup of hot milk, and her stomach stopped feeling upset for a while, but her mood didn't improve and she was still fidgeting.There is no interference from the outside world in the underground space, and the whole space seems to be completely still.No sound of wind or rain can be heard here. This static underground space is like a tomb isolated from the world. Although it is not disturbed by the outside world, it will make normal people uneasy because of the death-like isolation.Just like a sudden brake, the body that has always been moving will appear inertial dynamics due to sudden stillness, and people will rush forward out of control. Ye Wan's fidgeting is just this kind of inertial out-of-control reaction. She can't calm down in this still space. This is equivalent to a death-like environment, which is not something normal people can adapt to.But her intuition told her very clearly that the top is dangerous and the bottom is safe. In order to survive in the future, she must accept the illusion of death now. The door of the second room in the living room opened again, Ye Caixia came out, but Shen Huaqi and Zhang Bo still did not come out. "Aunt, what are they discussing?" Ye Wan looked at her aunt who came out of the room and asked. "What else can we discuss? It's about going out." Ye Caixia sat down beside Ye Wan and said helplessly. Ye Wan looked at her aunt, who looked relieved, as if the catastrophe was about to end, and the rain would soon pass. "Auntie, this necklace." Ye Wan took out the necklace from her pocket, thinking that it should be returned to Auntie. Ye Caixia glanced at the necklace in Ye Wan's hand, and just about to reach out to pick it up, she changed her gesture and pressed Ye Wan's hand to let her continue to keep the necklace. She looked at Ye Wan with serious eyes, and told Ye Wan that this Inside the necklace is a secret.However, the secret can only be revealed after her death. "What secret? Can you tell me first?" Ye Wan asked carefully, she felt that this secret seemed to be related to her. Ye Caixia hesitated and shook her head: "As long as I live, it doesn't matter if you know or not." Looking at the necklace in her hand, Ye Wan couldn't figure out what the secret was. This secret will not be revealed until the death of her aunt, and she can also get something that belongs to her because of this secret.The relationship between the two can also be understood in this way. She can only get what belongs to her after her aunt dies. As long as her aunt is alive, there is no need for secrets, and she can't get what belongs to her. It is really a puzzling secret. "Ye Wan, have a bowl of porridge." Ye Caixia brought a small bowl of porridge to Ye Wan from the kitchen. "I just ate a few slices of bread." Ye Wan was a little embarrassed. Ye Caixia once again emphasized the significance of this bowl of porridge, this is not ordinary porridge, it is bird's nest porridge, which can nourish the body.She purposely soaked the bird's nest last night and made porridge in the morning, otherwise she didn't have a chance to eat it.A small bowl of porridge won't last, my aunt said that Ye Wan's complexion is so bad, she doesn't know when she will be rescued, she has to take good care of her body. Ye Wan's physique has been poor ever since she suffered a severe illness from the thunderstorm when she was a child, and what happened in the past two days did make her physically and mentally exhausted.This porridge won't take up much space in the stomach, but it can increase the energy for survival. Ye Wan no longer refuses her aunt's kindness, and takes the bowl to eat the porridge. Within a few minutes of eating the hot porridge, Ye Wan felt drowsy. This bowl of porridge seemed to arouse her sleep that had been suppressed since last night. Ye Wan only felt sleepy and her eyelids were heavy.The sleepiness made her unable to stand up and go to the room. She tilted her body and fell asleep on the sofa. I don't know how long I slept, but when Ye Wan woke up from sleep, she completely lost the sense of time.There was no clock in the underground space, and she didn't wear a watch on her hand. Ye Wan had no way of knowing what time it was, whether it was morning, afternoon or evening.She was still on the sofa in the living room, covered with a blanket, it must be her aunt who cared for her in case she would catch a cold. Ye Wan called her aunt softly a few times, but she didn't hear a response. She went to the bathroom and felt hungry again.It seems that the sleep time is not short, and the food eaten in the morning has already been digested.Ye Wan went to the kitchen to look for something to eat again. Out of convenience, she ate a few slices of bread and drank a glass of milk, then checked the two small rooms in the underground space.There were padlocks on the doors of the two rooms, but they were not locked at this time, and there was no one in the room. She was the only one in the entire underground space. Where did those people go?Ye Wan was puzzled and went to look at the room again, this is the second room, which is the room Shen Huaqi and Zhang Bojin entered. There are some differences between this room and the first room. There are signs of people living in the room. There are a lot of clothes in the closet, dry food on the table, an electric kettle, and the smell of urine.The smell comes from the spittoon. There is a bathroom outside, but he urinates in the spittoon. It can be seen that this person is locked in and it is inconvenient to go out.There is also a door in the room, and the position of the door is to lead to the back part of the underground space. If there is no room behind, there is no need to set up this door. There must be another space behind the door. Ye Wan went to knock on the door, but no one came to open it. She turned the handle and the door was locked.But she didn't see the keyhole, there was a three-dimensional disc under the door handle.The disk is made of stainless steel, and the diameter of the chassis is about seven centimeters. There are three layers of stainless steel disks with a thickness of five millimeters on top of the chassis, and the three layers are stacked together to measure fifteen millimeters.Each layer of discs can rotate independently, and numbers are engraved on the thickness of the discs.Ye Wan turned the disc a few times randomly, but the door still didn't open. She felt that the three people must be hiding inside the door, but she didn't want her to know.Ye Wan was wondering what kind of space would be inside the door, when the door suddenly opened, and Shen Huaqi came out. "What are you doing?" Shen Huaqi asked displeasedly, seeing his expression, he knew that her behavior was deviant and foul. "I'm looking for my aunt." Ye Wan told the real reason. Shen Huaqi came out, then closed the door, looked at her and said indifferently: "Your aunt is up there, you can go up too." "Above!" Ye Wan asked incredulously, "Why did you go back to the top again?" Shen Huaqi didn't even bother to answer, so he forced her to go back up.From his eyes, Ye Wan could see threats and vicious intent, if she was disobedient or not cooperative, he might be rude to her.Without the protection of her aunt, Ye Wan could only obey his instructions and walk up.Shen Huaqi was still worried, and followed her to supervise. Ye Wan walked into the elevator, and was about to press the green button, but was stopped by Shen Huaqi.He opened a small door with his hand on the concrete wall on his right, that is, the cement wall on Ye Wan's left, looked inside the small door, and told her that there is no one in the living room now, so she can go up.After speaking, she told Ye Wan in a threatening tone not to reveal the secret door and the underground. That small door made Ye Wan understand that there is a monitor in the living room of the house, so that people underground will never go up when there are people in the living room, and the guard plan arranged by Gao Pingying is completely redundant.Although Ye Wan didn't understand the reason why Shen Huaqi asked her to return to the top, she was quite clear about keeping the secret of the secret door and the secrets underground, and she also knew that the underground space was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, and there were still many secrets inside. Hiding another space deep, that is the real underground secret.
