How to work

Suddenly, his palm felt warm, it was Zhao Zhu who held his hand.

"cold?"

Lu Li shook his head, and a bird flitting across the sky appeared in his vision, and he let out a long breath.

It's just a bird that can't name it, with a strange cry...

The rapid heartbeat just now should be an illusion, nothing bad will happen... definitely not!

Close your eyes, feel the warmth coming from the opponent's palm, soaking into the body along the fingertips, slowly, the whole heart is warm... Lu Li is greedy for this kind of temperature, and holds Zhao Zhu's hand tightly, as if Reluctant to part with him, "Shall we go in?"

Seeing that Lu Li's smile was still bright, and he was still a little clingy... Zhao Zhu secretly kissed him, and pulled him inside.

"The walls of all the rooms in the entire yard are thicker. Comparing the size of the room, it seems that there is space in all the walls, but the space is not large." Zhao Zhu explained to several people as he walked in.

This behavior is actually very weird.People build secret rooms in the hope of hiding secrets, and try to dig out space in hidden corners so that no one will notice.But in this house, it seems that every wall has a mezzanine, and the mezzanine area is very small. It is suitable for a secret room, but it is not suitable for a secret room...

After hearing this, Lu Li also felt strange, "Could it be used to confuse the view?" The real secret room is in another, more secret place?

Zhao Zhu's slender eyes narrowed slightly, "Anyway, there must be a reason for doing this." No one would toss all the walls with such fanfare, just for fun.

He Lianyu pulled Shen Wansha in, "So finding the mechanism is the most important thing."

Shen Wansha waved his small fists, his eyebrows were serious, "No matter where the secret room is, you will understand if you find it!"

That's right.They came here to find clues. The house is suspicious, and it is already harvested. Now they just need to continue...

Zhao Zhu raised his hand to call the hidden guard, "Send a few people to guard the door, and if you find someone coming, report to me immediately."

"Yes!"

Shen Wansha shook off He Lianyu's hand, rolled his sleeves and rubbed his fists, his eyes gleaming, "Quick! We need to finish the secret room before anyone arrives at night!"

The young master has a straightforward and enthusiastic personality, and he is born with a kind of morale-boosting energy. When he starts to be energetic, others immediately follow suit.Still the same as before, Zhao Zhu, Lu Lihe, Lianyu, and Shen Wansha were together, and the other hidden guards formed their own groups and scattered to look for each room.

Although the sparrow is small, its internal organs are small. Although this yard is a small yard, it stretches out a lot from the left and right sides. There are many rooms, and everyone spreads out, one room per group, but they still can't occupy all the rooms.

……

The speed of checking the room was not fast enough. The four of Zhao Zhu carefully touched all the objects in the room, found everything, and made sure that there was nothing abnormal in this room before entering the next room.

The new room was a spacious hall, a bit empty, and looked as if it was being refurbished.For example, there is only a table, no chairs, and half of the tablecloth is spread on the table; there are only two sides of the four-fold screen;

The room smelled of dust, mixed with the smell of heavy and messy wood and gold paint, and it was not fresh at all. There were many new paint patterns on the walls, which looked very beautiful.

There are various kinds of items in this room, and they have not been sorted out. One item is here and the other is item. The atmosphere is a bit weird, and it also greatly increases the workload of the four people.

Zhao Zhu reminded, "Organs are often accompanied by hidden weapons, everyone be careful."

Shen Wansha was full of energy, "Got it!"

The four of them dispersed quickly, checking and fumbling about the objects in the room.Because Lu Li and Shen Wansha don't know martial arts, Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu subconsciously stay close to them to avoid accidents.

But as their attention became more and more concentrated, the distance became slightly larger.

……

The gorgeous sunset glow reddened the sky, and the golden orange light poured in through the windows, dyeing the floor golden.Such a brilliant golden color is very attractive, not to mention Shen Wansha, even Lu Li walked on the golden floor, observing the things at hand with great interest.

Suddenly, there was a chill behind him, and it felt like someone was peeping...

Lu Li turned his head abruptly, the white bird jumping on the window sill gave a rough cry at him, and stared straight at him with small black bean-like eyes.

It turned out to be a bird...

Lu Li exhaled, feeling that his nerves were too tense today, and he was a little too fussy.

Zhao Zhu turned his head to look at him, his slender dark eyes implied concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay..." Lu Li was shaking his head, ready to give Zhao Zhu a reassuring smile, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Shen Wansha!

The young master remained expressionless, and fumbled towards the pattern on the wall stiffly...

The pattern is a mandala flower, with a diameter of three feet, wood carving, new paint, exquisite shape, lifelike.The whole flower is sprinkled with gold powder, which looks more luxurious and beautiful under the setting sun.Shen Wansha has always liked gorgeous and golden things, so it is not surprising that he would want to touch this flower.

What was surprising was his demeanor.

The young master has always been lively and agile, but now his movements are stiff and his eyes are stiff, as if he has been possessed by an evil spirit!

"Master—" Lu Li hurriedly shouted, but Shen Wansha didn't respond, as if he didn't hear him at all!

At the same time, Lu Li found a black seam on the bottom of the young master's foot, which was slowly opening... "Shen Wansha! Get out of there!!"

Shen Wansha still didn't hear it, and walked forward stubbornly.

Lu Li didn't have martial arts, so he couldn't move in front of Shen Wansha in an instant, and He Lianyu was too far away unknowingly, so Lu Li quickly pushed Zhao Zhu, "Quick—"

Everything happened very quickly, almost instantly, with a 'click', a big hole suddenly appeared on the floor under Shen Wansha's feet, and he immediately fell down!

He Lianyu's eyes were red, and he had already used the fastest speed, but he still couldn't fly to Shen Wansha's side in the first time.

At the critical moment, Zhao Zhu leaped to the floor, sank half of his body, and stretched his long hands down—"Shen Wansha!"

Feeling the weight in his hand, Zhao Zhu took a long breath, looked at He Lianyu who was about to run, "It's okay, I caught him."

"Ahhhhhh——" At this time, Shen Wansha came to his senses, "Mother, why are you so dark!"

Zhao Zhu grabbed Shen Wansha by the back of the neck and dragged him out. He Lianyu hurriedly took over, hugged the young master, and went up and down to check whether he was injured, "Where does it hurt?"

Shen Wansha shook his little head, "It doesn't hurt, just a little dizzy..."

Zhao Zhu frowned, "What happened to you just now? Lu Li told you that you didn't respond."

"Little Lizi called me?" Shen Wansha tilted his head, wondering if he wanted to come, "I don't know, I just saw that the flowers on the wall are very beautiful, so I took a second look, looked at them, and then I feel that the flower can move, and I really want to touch it..."

Shen Wansha glanced at the empty area at his feet, looking down, it was completely dark... He trembled, turned his head and pointed at the mandala on the wall, not daring to look any further.

He Lianyu took a look, suddenly his pupils shrank, and he waved his sleeves to break Zhao Zhu's sight, "Don't look, this picture is hallucinatory."

"Illusion..." Zhao Zhu snorted coldly, "Looks like we've found the right place."

"I'm so dizzy and uncomfortable, come here, little Lizi, come and help me..." Shen Wansha called Lu Li coquettishly, but he didn't see anyone after calling twice, and turned to the direction where Lu Li was standing in shock When I saw it, I almost fainted, "Little Lizi! Little Lizi is gone!"

Zhao Zhu turned his head sharply, sure enough, there was no one at the place where Lu Li was standing just now!

Although this room is large and has a lot of things, there is no place for people to hide. Lu Li... Where did he go?

Zhao Zhu jumped up eagerly, and rushed to find someone, "Lu Li!"

But before he could approach, there was a sudden 'click' sound, and four iron railings quickly lowered from the roof, trapping the three of them in the middle!

The iron railings are made of cold steel and are very strong. The people who made the railings are also generous. The railings are very large, and they are not afraid of waste at all.But because the railing was too big and lowered too suddenly, Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu were caught in the excitement of Lu Li's disappearance, and they couldn't react in time, so they were trapped.

The iron railings formed a prison, trapping the three of them. Now let alone looking for Lu Li, how to get out by themselves is a problem.

Shen Wansha stared blankly at all this, his eyes turned red suddenly, and he murmured, "It's my fault...it's all my fault...if I didn't touch the mandala, I wouldn't have stepped on the mechanism, and I wouldn't have stepped on it. I won't let everyone pay attention to me and forget about Xiao Lizi..."

He Lianyu sighed, and hugged Shen Wansha, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone so far..."

Zhao Zhu's dark eyes were stern, and his voice was cold, "It seems that someone else planned to use Shen Wansha as a bait to divert our attention and capture Lu Li...Thieves are always hard to guard against, regret is useless, just rescue Lu Li!"

His fists were clenched, his eyes were about to burst, and he shouted to the outside, "Whoever dares to hurt a hair of Lu Li, I want his whole family to die without a place to bury him!"

"That's right." He Lianyu pulled Shen Wansha up, narrowing his eyes slightly with a calm expression, "Since there is a mechanism in this house, Lu Li won't be too far away from us. It's still bright now, and there are Prince Ping's personal guards outside. Even if those people catch Lu Li, they won't be able to take him out for a moment... We still have time!"

……

Lu Li actually didn't know how everything happened.

One moment he was still worried about Shen Wansha, but the next moment he seemed to have been hit by something on several acupuncture points on his body, his whole body was stiff, not only could he not walk or move, even his tongue was also stiff, and he could not speak.

He watched Zhao Zhu lift Shen Wansha up by the back of his neck, and at the same time, the floor under his feet collapsed, and he fell down.

He looked at Zhao Zhu helplessly, wanted to stretch out his hand, opened his mouth to call Zhao Zhu, wanted to ask for help, but he couldn't do anything... just fell down.

Fortunately, at least he is sure that the young master is fine and safe.

He felt at ease.

Someone below caught him without a sound.At the same time, the floor above the head was closed suddenly, and the eyes were pitch black, and I couldn't even look at it...

Immediately afterwards, the jaw was pinched open, and a fishy sweet pill was fed into the mouth.He didn't want to take it, but his tongue couldn't even push it, the pill melted in his mouth, and when someone lifted his chin, the sweet and fishy liquid flowed down his throat.

The strength of the medicine dissipated very quickly, as if in just a moment, his whole body was sore and limp, he lost strength and fell asleep.

He felt himself being lifted up and walking slowly on the ground.He didn't want to fall asleep, he wanted to pinch his fingertips hard to force himself to wake up, but even this...he couldn't do it.

Gradually, there was light in his field of vision. He was placed on a small bed, and someone gently brushed a few acupuncture points on his body. He swallowed and was able to move.

But even though he was able to move, he could only move slightly. His whole body was limp and weak, and he still couldn't do movements like clenching his fist hard...

Lu Li took a long breath and turned his head slightly, wanting to see what kind of environment he was in now.It's a pity that there seems to be a layer of fog in front of him. He can see the light in the room, and he knows which direction the light is in, but he can't see how the light came from. Is it a light leak hole, a candlestick, or a night pearl?

The world in your eyes is blurred and ambiguous, like a scene drawn by someone who is drunk or highly myopic. You know what is in front of you, but it is so blurry that you cannot see clearly.

Someone came over and patted his face, "Can you talk now?"

Being so close, Lu Li couldn't see the man's face clearly, and he didn't even know whether the hair on the man's head was a jade crown or a hairpin.He took a long breath, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the other...

This is a man.

The voice is full of vigor, but it does not have the vigor of a teenager, nor the vicissitudes of an old man. It is very deep, very serious, and has a special imposing manner.

When he was dragged onto the bed just now, his feet were on the ground, and the bed was two inches higher than his knees.The person left after patting his face. He was speaking standing up, and at the same time, the person was in contact with his legs. Maybe because he couldn't move, people were not on guard.

The part that he can feel in contact with his leg is the position of the man's knee...

So this person's height, taller than him and shorter than Zhao Zhu, should be... about the same as He Lianyu.

The sense of touch from the face... This person has calluses on his palms, similar to Zhao Zhu's, which are the calluses left by martial arts practitioners after years of training.

Lu Li tried his best to control his sleep desire, and started to think in a chaotic, water-filled mind, thinking that the person he was talking to should be over 30 years old and under 50 years old, with high martial arts skills and special status. leader in the field.

Seeing that Lu Li didn't answer, the man suddenly poured saliva on him—the action was very rude, as if it was intentional, just to test.

"Ahem——" Lu Li used all his strength to hold the man's hand, as if he wanted to cough his lungs out.

This time he grasped it, he found something else, this man was wearing a thumb ring, the pattern... what does it look like?The time was too short, and his mind too confused, he couldn't figure it out.

"It seems that I can talk." The man smiled sinisterly, pinching his face, "I'll ask, you answer, answer well, answer well, I'll let you go, otherwise... next year today, It's your memorial day!"

Lu Li didn't speak, his eyeballs moved slowly, looking left and right in a daze.

Someone seemed startled, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, can he really not see us?"

The man snorted coldly, his voice was cold and full of hostility, and the strange coercion spread, "Don't worry, after taking my medicine, you will only think the truth, and the other side, you can't see or hear."

As if to verify, he began to ask questions, "What's your name?"

"Lu Li."

"Where did it come from?"

"Shuzhong."

"Who are the people who come here with you outside, and what are their identities?"

"Ping Wang Zhao Zhu, Shen Qianshan and Shen Wansha, the son of Princess Chai, are the bandits picking up the stars."

……

The scene was quiet and the light was soft. Lu Li really wanted to talk and sleepy. He even wanted to finish talking and have a good sleep.

He figured he'd probably been given hallucinogenic drugs, something like modern-day Veritaserum.This drug has anesthesia effect, sedative effect, hypnotic effect, and can appropriately induce some hallucinations, forcing people to unconsciously tell the truth... Ancient medical techniques can also do this, it is really broad and profound.

But now is not the time to admire ancient medical skills, he needs to fight the effects of the medicine with all his strength.

Lu Li has studied psychology, and he has also encountered very powerful special forces during the process of solving crimes. Some people are willing to talk about some tricks that do not involve confidentiality, so... he is still somewhat confident.

The other party kidnapped him, although he just asked his name, but it should be just to confirm the effect of the medicine.These people knew exactly who the kidnappers were, and they might have planned ahead for it.

I don't know martial arts, so it's very easy to handle. As long as I behave well, the other party should not be able to use torture tools... As for the questions asked by the other party, I can get past it by playing tricks.

For example, the matter about He Lianyu just now.He Lianyu is very meticulous in his work. Every time he appears in a different capacity, he needs to make a little disguise, a small corner of the eye is lifted, and the shape of the eyebrows is changed. It will give people a different impression, and people who are not familiar with it will not be able to see it at all.

At present, He Lianyu is traveling abroad as the prince of Medog, so this must not be the prince of Medog today.The scene is too sensitive, and it may be related to the treasure. Prince Medog is actively applying to join the treasure organization, so he cannot appear here.

When he answered the thief picking the stars, the other party was not dissatisfied, and he did not continue to ask, saying that the other party agreed with the answer... Then these people should not pay too much attention to He Lianyu, which is great news for him... …

And even if the other party has enough information, knows He Lianyu's identity, and blames him, he can still insist that he does not know He Lianyu's true identity.After all, He Lianyu is meticulous in his work and has his own goals, so he doesn't necessarily talk to him and tell him everything.

If the other party was really sure about the extent of his relationship with He Lianyu's friend, then there was no need to tie him up to ask. With such a big skill, those who wanted to know would have already known.

The other party seemed to be uneasy, and then asked, "What are you here for?"

"In the case of the murder of a member of a foreign mission, the clues point to this."

"Aside from this, is there anything else?"

Lu Li bit the tip of his tongue hard, and replied slowly, "Other... what else?"

"Forget it," the man paused, "are you sure about the murderer in the mission case?"

"No."

"You were in the room just now, what were you looking for?"

"The secret room. Baihe Dashi may have hidden something. This thing is the key to his killing."

……

The two asked and answered for a while, and the man patted Lu Li on the face, "Very good, continue."

His voice sank, and he asked word by word, "Do you know the treasure map?"

Lu Li's heart trembled, and he bit his tongue hard again, his heart finally came!The opponent's purpose turned out to be this!

"Know...you know." His eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was a little uneasy.

He reminded himself in his heart that since others had captured him, they definitely wouldn't want to listen to nonsense. If he said he didn't know, it would be useless to silence him immediately, or others would think he wasn't telling the truth and torture him... This is the best.

The other party's breathing became heavier, and after a long pause, he gently held Lu Li's hand, coaxing him slowly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, tell me, tell me everything you know, and you'll be fine..."

Lu Li took the opportunity to touch the finger on the man's hand again.

Seeing that Lu Li was nervous and unable to calm down, the man calmly said to the side, "Water."

There was a clear sound of tea clinking into a cup, and then a figure slowly walked over and handed the teacup to the person in front of Lu Li's bed.

Lu Li looked at the person who brought the tea.He couldn't see this person's face clearly, but somehow felt a little familiar... He prayed in his heart that this person would say something, say something, and say something quickly!It's a pity that after the man handed the teacup to the person in front of the bed, he immediately turned around and walked away.

Losing the figure in front of his eyes, his hand was empty, and he could no longer touch the finger, Lu Li sighed slightly in his heart, feeling a little regretful.

The man gave him some water.

Lu Li drank obediently, licked his lips, "...more."

He wanted to see the people around him clearly, and he also wanted to buy time for Zhao Zhu and the others. He slowly procrastinated, and hoped that he would be able to wait.

Zhao Zhu...Zhao Zhu will definitely not abandon him!

After drinking two cups of tea, when Lu Li asked for it again, the man refused.

"It's not good to drink too much water, be good." The voice was full of threats and oppression.

Lu Li's body trembled violently.

The man quickly coughed twice, trying to make his voice softer, "I won't hurt you, huh?"

"...Hmm." Lu Li nodded anxiously.

"You know the treasure map, have you seen it?"

Lu Li paused for a while before saying, "I've seen it."

The man was short of breath, "Where is it? How many?"

"Huh?" Lu Li's eyes were blank, as if he didn't understand.

"I was in a hurry," the man's voice slowed down, "How many treasure maps have you seen?"

Lu Li's eyes were full of doubts, "Isn't there only one treasure map?"

The man paused, "Haha, I said something wrong, of course there is only one treasure map, only one!"

The voice was a little awkward compared to before, obviously covering up.

Lu Li realized in his heart that this person not only knew the treasure map, but also knew that there were eight copies of the treasure map.Because he asked back, he immediately turned around, probably to convince himself that there was only one copy of the treasure map, which would be more beneficial to him...

"Where is the treasure map now?" The question was a little urgent.

Lu Li's eyes rolled slowly, "I...don't know."

"How could you not know!" The man grabbed Lu Li by the collar in a hurry and pulled him up from the bed, "Say! Where is it!"
