Moreover, in the yamen, these immortal officials were not as calm as they appeared. During the day, he found nothing and was going to visit the night at night. If he really found something, even if the clues were finally found and the case was solved, would anyone in the yamen feel dissatisfied with him?

But if he didn't go, when he entered the deserted house during the day, he suddenly felt familiar. Su An knew very well that the familiar feeling was not because his current residence was too close to the deserted house.

Could it be that his predecessor has anything to do with that deserted house?

"Why."

Sighing irritably, Su An turned over and sat up from the bed, staring at the scimitar that was hung on the wall of the house, which was given to the immortal official.

The salary he paid today was placed in the box under the scimitar.

However, not only did he receive the salary he paid today, but he also had thirty-two spiritual stones in the box.

Thirty-two spiritual stones, as far as the salary of the immortal official is concerned, it takes more than two years to save up a piece of spiritual stone.

But his predecessor was only twenty-one. How could he not use spiritual stones to practice, but to accumulate them all?

Not only that, Su An even found a bottle of elixir in that box. Although he didn't know the specific effects of the elixir, it was fragrant and was absolutely extraordinary.

He has accumulated a lot of other gold, silver and other things, which is definitely not something he can own as a small immortal official. His predecessor is definitely a problem.

The clues prompted by ancient books in my mind and the possible problems in the predecessor made Su An uneasy and anxiously walk back and forth in the house.

It was not until the middle of the night that Su An, who was still upset when he listened to the occasional barking of dogs and crowing insects outside, was still distracted and had never fallen asleep. He made up his mind and walked out of the house quietly.

After closing the door with his backhand, Su An held a scimitar in his hand and went deeper into the roof. With just a few breaths, he had already reached the abandoned house he had been to during the day.

At this time, Su An was still wearing a soap hat and a gray robe. He was the scimitar in his hand and the one he sent from the yamen.

This formal dress of an immortal official was also the result of Su An's careful consideration.

If he dressed as an immortal official, he could also act as a deterrent if he really encountered thieves in a deserted house.

And if you meet other immortal officials, you can say that you can't sleep in the middle of the night. If you want to come over to find out, this excuse is very reasonable.

There are ten days left to reach the deadline given by the mansion. At this time, it would be wrong for any immortal official to sleep well.

After entering the yard, Su An did not go anywhere else, but went directly to the front hall that he wanted to go during the day.

The front hall is very large, but the doors and windows have decayed and fallen, and even the screens and other decorations in the house are scattered on the ground, covered with spider webs.

Even now that night comes, there are unknown insects in the house whispering, and occasionally a breeze blows, and I feel a little chill on my back.

Su An pointed his toes at the ground, trying not to make any sound.

"There are dust everywhere, and there shouldn't be a hiding place in the front hall. Otherwise, even if there is an organ, it should..."

Su An said to himself, a little disappointed, but he had inexplicable trust in the handwriting on the ancient books in his mind.

He was just talking to himself halfway. Su An saw the wall where the window was located with the moonlight.

The original window had long been decayed and fell, leaving only one window frame still on the wall.

With the bright moonlight, you can see that the walls in the house are only one foot away from the window frame, which is equivalent to being close to the wall.

But the window frame outside the house is at least four feet away from the corner of the wall.

At this moment, Su An could even hear his own heartbeat, his toes tapped the ground, and his body gently fell next to the window in the house. He held the hilt of the knife in his right hand and knocked on the wall with his left hand a few times. There was no movement at all, and there was no sound behind the wall.

Even Su An gently tapped the entire wall with his hands, but there was no movement.

"No agency?"

Su An frowned slightly, and carefully observed the moonlight. The bottom of the wall was covered with dust, without any trace of possible movement.

After pondering in place for a long time, he leaned sideways on the window frame and looked at it.

Taking a deep breath and leaving the front hall, Su An jumped into the front hall, and on the outside of the front hall wall, as if he was inside the house just now, knocking gently.

"squeak."

At the corner of the exterior wall, there was a thin inward sink in a wall brick under Su An. At the same time, accompanied by a slight sound, the wall next to it began to slowly move backwards, revealing a passage for a person to walk sideways.

In an instant, Su An held the hilt with his right hand and almost slashed it out with one knife.

Although the passage is pitch black, for immortal officials, seeing things at night is the most basic ability.

After standing outside the passage for a long time, Su An's expression changed. In the end, he held a scimitar in his hand and stepped into the passage carefully.

As soon as I stepped into the passage, the wall closed.

Looking back at the wall that had been closed, Su An frowned slightly, and his expression became more solemn.

"Dong."

"Dong."

Although Su An's footsteps were very light, he seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat and breathing.

After walking down the passage for only a few steps, in addition to his own heartbeat, he could also hear faint baby crying.

After getting off the passage, there is a light-tight curtain.

Looking at the curtain, Su An hesitated for a moment. He had heard a faint cry of a baby just now. If the curtain was opened, the thief who stole the baby would not go out tonight, and he was there too.

Su An never knew that he was so patient that he stood behind the curtain for nearly a quarter of an hour. There was no other sound behind the curtain except for the occasional baby crying sounds, so he opened the curtain.

"Um?"

The moment he opened the curtain, Su An's expression changed drastically. He took a step back, turned around and ran away.

Behind the curtain is a space of more than ten square meters, with a torch lighted.

As the fire swayed, it can be seen that the layout of this dark room is very simple. Apart from a few simple beds, there is a square table and a few wooden piers.

The faint crying of the baby came from the bed beside the wall.

The one who made Su An want to turn around and run away was not the crying baby, but the three middle-aged people sitting around the square table.

“See the helm.”

The three middle-aged men who were originally sitting at the square table saw Su An appear on the curtains and quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Um?"

Su An, who had already retreated with one foot, turned around and almost threw the curtain off and ran away, turned around in shock, looking at the three people who had walked out of the back of the table and fell to the ground.
