An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Jing Chunxi stretched out her hand to open the cabinet, her action was almost subconscious. She was used to actively looking for clues.

However, just as she started to move, she was interrupted by Jing Yi's sharp shout: "Don't move, stay still!"

His voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of unquestionable majesty. Jing Chunxi's hand froze in mid-air. She was slightly startled, then realized Jing Yi's caution.

In such an unfamiliar and potentially trap-filled place, acting rashly can easily lead to mistakes.

Jing Yi said nothing more, but began to carefully examine the entire cabinet. He moved with extreme caution, as if handling a fragile treasure. He started from the top of the cabinet, gently touching every inch of the surface, searching for any possible mechanism or switch.

He slid his fingers over the wood, feeling its grain and warmth. Then he circled the sides of the cabinet, carefully examining the edges for any signs of tampering. His eyes were focused and sharp, not missing a single detail.

Jing Yi carefully felt the entire cabinet from top to bottom, left to right, front to back, his movements meticulous, like a silent ritual. Only after he was sure there were no traps did he open the cabinet with confidence.

There were only a few black clothes hanging in the closet, and only a few folded clothes. Not even a single valuable item could be found. Jing Yi's expression was slightly disappointed, but he didn't stop. He continued to search through the boxes, hoping to find some useful clues.

The contents of the box were in disarray, filled with junk that had accumulated over who knows how many years: old clothes, tattered books, and even some children's dolls, clearly untouched for ages.

Jing Yi searched through the items one by one, but still couldn't see any mechanism or anything unusual. Although his movements were quick, they still seemed a little weak.

Despite Jing Yi's repeated warnings, Jing Chunxi wasn't idle either. She knew time was running out, and she didn't want to be just a decoration. Her eyes scanned the room, searching for any corners that might have been overlooked. She walked through every empty space in the room, kicking and jumping around a few times as usual.

She even touched the floor under the cabinet with her hands, only to find her hands were covered in old dust. A hint of helplessness appeared on her face, but she still didn't give up.

They both shook their heads, finally looking at the bed, which was tightly covered with mosquito netting, and was the most likely place for the mechanism to be hidden. Jing Yi seemed to realize this as well, and he frowned slightly, but decided to check the bed first.

Afraid of scaring her, Jing Yi pushed her towards the door and shouted, "Stay still!" His voice was harsh, but Jing Chunxi did not back down.

She knew her master was doing this for her safety, but she also knew she couldn't just sit there and do nothing. She did as he asked, but couldn't help but remind him, "Look at the head of the bed."

This old couple was guarding the treasure. Since this place was so far from the basement entrance, it must be the place where the secrets lay. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully. Only when they were confined to this room could they sleep most peacefully.

Jing Yi naturally thought so too, otherwise he wouldn't have avoided so many rooms in the middle and went straight into the farthest one. He nodded slightly, motioned Jing Chunxi to step back, and then began to check the bed.

To give her master a clearer view, Jing Chunxi leaned forward, holding her own tinderbox. Jing Yi glared back at her, but Jing Chunxi didn't flinch, snatching the tinderbox from him. Two hands would surely be more precise and faster. Her eyes were firm, clearly determined.

She only knew that there were two people lying on the bed. As for what they looked like, Jing Chunxi had no interest and would not look carefully. She just focused on watching Jing Yi's movements, hoping to find some clues from them.

Jing Yi's movements remained cautious, starting at the head of the bed. He not only felt under their pillows, but also lifted up the pillows, the quilt, and even felt around the entire bed. His movements were swift and careful, leaving no corner untouched. However, he still found no trap.

He then made the bed and searched under it again, even crawling under it to carefully examine the floor and the bed board. His clothes were covered in spiderwebs, but he still refused to give up. After climbing out, he shook his head in disappointment. He didn't say anything, but a hint of annoyance was already visible in his eyes.

Undeterred, he meticulously checked the walls and floor Jing Chunxi had just examined, searching for any clues he might have overlooked. He even jumped onto the beams to see if there was anything unusual. However, when he came down, he still found nothing.

Feeling that something strange must be happening in this room, Jing Chunxi kept staring at the bed. Her eyes were as sharp as a torch, trying to find clues from every inch of the bed's surface.

The headboard and the inner side of the bed were against the wall, and the bed was placed right at the entrance to the second room. Was it such a coincidence? A flash of inspiration struck her mind, and she said to the disappointed Master, who had come over, "Look at the headboard and the inner wall."

Jing Yi was slightly stunned, but nodded. These two walls were the only thing he had neglected, and also their only hope.

He lifted the mosquito net completely and looked at the innermost wall first. The wall was smooth but very dirty, and it didn't look like anyone had touched it often. He touched it gently, feeling the texture, and knocked on it. It was solid, and he didn't find anything unusual.

Looking at the head of the bed again, after the mosquito net was completely lifted, I saw a wooden board blocking it.

It was common for ordinary people to have a bedside board to prevent dust from falling. The strange thing was that this was no ordinary bed board; it was polished too smooth, which made it look out of place in this simple house.

Jing Yi's gaze narrowed slightly, his fingers lightly touching the surface of the wooden board. This clapper board seemed to be deliberately crafted, and Jing Chunxi also felt that it was smoother than the stool he usually sat on. Under the light of the tinderbox, it actually reflected a little.

Two tinderboxes were simultaneously raised to the wooden board, which was as smooth as a bronze mirror, with almost no flaws. But this was only the outer surface. Jing Yi, with his long arms and legs, leaned towards the inside of the bed, lowering his body so that it was almost touching the couple's.

Although his actions were somewhat risky, he was still cautious. He gently touched the inside of the wooden board, searching for any possible traps.

He immediately spotted the trick. He touched a spot and said, "There's a mechanism at the very back." There was a hint of surprise in his voice, but he remained calm. Jing Chunxi's heartbeat quickened slightly, and she knew they might have found a crucial clue.

Jing Chunxi didn't see what the mechanism was; it was too dark and too far away, and she didn't want to get as close as her master. She just stared closely at Jing Yi's movements, waiting for his next move.

When she saw her master's hand about to press down, a flash of uneasiness suddenly crossed her mind. She subconsciously shouted, "Master, don't move!"

Hearing Jing Chunxi's exclamation, Jing Yi retracted his hand out of caution, although he didn't understand why.

Holding the tinder, they stood face to face. Jing Yi asked, "Don't you want to confirm it?"

Jing Yi thought that the reason Jing Chunxi didn't want to trigger the mechanism immediately was that he wanted to make plans for the future.

Jing Chunxi shook his head at him and said with certainty, "In the dream, it only took me half a cup of tea at most for me to go in and pack my things and come out. But by that time, Master had already killed many people outside, and the men in black were coming out in waves."

Jing Yi: "So, Xier thinks that when the basement door opened, someone knew about it immediately."

It is indeed easy to talk to smart people, and this is also what Jin Chunxi admires about his master.

"Master, don't you think so? If it were Master, without such means, would you dare to be so relaxed about this courtyard? Are you really not afraid that the treasure will be stolen?"

Jing Yi thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said, "That might take some time. We need to first find out where the mechanism is connected to, besides the entrance to the basement."

After saying that, he looked at Jing Chunxi again and said in a negotiating tone: "I'll let July send you back first." This meant that they would send her back first, and they would stay to continue investigating.

Jing Chunxi closed his eyes and thought, then shook his head firmly and said to Jing Yi, "This is too troublesome, and it's not that easy to find out."

If we trigger the mechanism and then follow the clues, it will probably not be easy. Trying to find the connection now without daring to trigger the mechanism is like trying to catch the moon in the water.

Anyway, Jing Chunxi felt that it was not possible.

"If we don't take action this time, we'll probably leave a lot of traces behind."

Jing Chunxi raised the black hand that he had just used when he was touching under the cabinet, and pointed under the bed where Jing Yi had just crawled in, and gave a reminder.

Jing Yi immediately fell silent, his expression a little serious as he began to think: "The man in black came so quickly, he must live nearby. From here to the front yard is almost two hundred feet, the mechanism can't be that far away."

Jing Chunxi nodded, feeling that this analysis was correct. Suddenly realizing something, she said, "Look in these three courtyards next to it." She opened the door and tried to greet Ah Qi.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yi immediately pulled him aside and made the final decision: "Don't look for it anymore. It's too much effort."
