Chapter 177 The Loft Secret Room
Lin Mo and the other two went upstairs and carefully checked each room after another.
And because this is where Chen Maofeng and his two usually live, the three of them checked very carefully without missing a trace of doubt.
There are three rooms on the third floor of this house. From the entrance of the stairs, there are the bedroom of the driver Chen Gengwen, Chen Maofeng's bedroom, and the last one is Chen Maofeng's study.
In the first two bedrooms of Chen Maofeng, the three of them searched carefully, but in the end they found nothing.
The three of them entered Chen Maofeng's study. Lin Mo felt that carrying the metal detector was a bit cumbersome. Anyway, these places had been carefully investigated by others with metal detectors, so Lin Mo planned to put the metal detector down.
"Beep..." When Lin Mo lifted the handle of the metal detector carried on his shoulder and was about to put it down, the headphones put on Lin Mo's neck suddenly sounded.
Hearing this movement, Lin Mo stopped immediately, looked up, and found that the distance between the ceiling and the metal detector was very close.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo looked carefully. The ceiling on his head was square wooden boards of fifty or sixty centimeters, and then nailed wooden strips to fix them. Depending on the old and new, it should have been decorated for a long time. It must have been brought before.
I remembered that they had found a message before, that was, three years ago, the courtyard was renovated, and Lin Mo suddenly realized that these should have been renovated at that time.
At this time, Lin Mo's metal detector was facing the confluence of several wooden strips. The iron nail head that had already grown a little rust was clearly seen on it. The metal detector should have sounded only after detecting this thing.
Looking at the exposed nail head, Lin Mo did not put down the metal detector directly, but moved the metal detector to the middle of the square wooden board by chance.
"Ding..." The headphones put on their necks still heard the sound.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo quickly moved and conducted detection on one wooden board at the other.
Xu Gu Yu and Zhang Hongxin, who were carefully inspecting, saw Lin Mo's movements and immediately stopped the movements in their hands and watched Lin Mo exploring there.
When Lin Mo stopped and lowered the raised metal detector, Xu Guyu walked towards Lin Mo and asked, "Lin Mo, is there something on it?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded and said, "Secretary Xu, I accidentally used a metal detector to find that it was going to ring."
"At first I thought it was a nail, but I looked into the middle of the wooden boards and found that there was still a sound. Then I looked through all the surrounding wooden boards."
"I found that this is the only one with the sound. I guess either there is something hidden on the ceiling, or there is probably a loft on it."
Hearing Lin Mo's description, Xu Guyu quickly took off Lin Mo's headphones and put them on his head.
Seeing this situation, without Xu Gu Yu's instructions, Lin Mo took the metal detector and started to detect Xu Gu Yu.
Xu Guyu listened, took off his headphones and spoke anxiously, "Quick, check the ceiling on his head to see if there is anything that can be opened."
Hearing this, the three of them immediately started to move and looked carefully at whether there was any wooden board on their heads to move.
However, after checking, the three of them did not find a wooden board in the study that could be moved.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo pondered for a moment, thought of the ladder he had just moved, and said, "Secretary Xu, it seems that there should be an attic above it. The entrance may not be in this room. Let's go to other rooms to look for it!"
Hearing this, Xu Guyu nodded, and the three of them came out in a row and walked towards another room.
In the corridor, Lin Mo saw Yang Haicheng and others counting pots underneath, and said, "Haicheng."
Hearing the sound, Yang Haicheng immediately raised his head. Seeing this, Lin Mo said, "We have discovered the situation again. Don't worry about the clay pot for now. Take the ladder just now to help."
Hearing this, Yang Haicheng and others stopped quickly and walked upstairs quickly.
Xu Guyu and Zhang Hongxin, who were walking in front of Lin Mo, heard Lin Mo's words and thought about it for a moment and knew what was going on. The ladder should be used to go to the attic. After all, the height of the second floor is more than two meters and three meters, and the four-meter-long ladder is just right.
Lin Mo, who entered Chen Maofeng's bedroom, looked carefully to see if there was any place suitable for fixing the ladder.
After looking at it, Lin Mo went directly to the wall and looked carefully. Finally, he found some traces of ladders on the wall.
Although this trace should have been processed every time Chen Maofeng uses the ladder, it is difficult to notice it usually.
But once you know that there is a loft on it and the ladder is up and down, you will check it carefully and purposefully and find these traces at all.
Seeing the traces, Lin Mo looked at the ceiling. After a while, Lin Mo took the handle of the metal detector and poked it gently, and the wooden board was immediately poked a small gap.
"Finished." Hearing Lin Mo's excited voice, Xu Guyu and Zhang Hongxin hurried over.
When they saw Lin Mo pushing up with a metal detector and revealing the wooden boards in the space above, both of them showed joy on their faces.
At this time, Yang Haicheng and others also walked into the bedroom with a ladder.
After careful inspection, the other party did not set up a trap at the entrance, everyone boarded the ladder. Lin Mo held the flashlight and took the lead and walked up the ladder.
When Lin Mo got out half of his body, he looked at the space inside with a flashlight.
This space has not been decorated too much, and the tiles on the top of the house are clearly visible. Although the floor has been cleaned up quite clean, it can still be seen that it has been paved for a long time.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Mo looked at the entrance again. The wooden boards here are still a little new at the break. Obviously, it has not been opened for a long time.
Lin Mo took the flashlight and shone the surroundings again. The space was quite large, with a height of nearly two meters, the length was as long as the house, and both sides of the hole could be used.
Lin Mo shone the flashlight in the direction above Chen Maofeng's study room, and suddenly saw a pile of boxes on one side and some bottles of bottles and jars on the other side, which should be antiques.
As for the middle, there is a table like the basement, and there are some things on the table, but Lin Mo is still unable to see what is on it at the current location.
Lin Mo moved the flashlight and looked at the top of Chen Gengwen's bedroom, but there was nothing there, and he saw the wall at the end at a glance.
Seeing these situations, Lin Mo speculated that this space should have been discovered by Chen Maofeng and the others before, otherwise they would not have spent so much effort to dig up any basement.
Then they thought that the place should be safer than the basement, so they found someone to decorate and cover up the entrance.
Although these are just Lin Mo's speculations, Lin Mo felt that this was very possible. After all, when he was in the basement, Lin Mo felt something strange inside.
Moreover, this strange feeling is not only from the ordinary antiques below, but also from the dry fauna that has not yet been moldy. Lin Mo didn't believe that even if Chen Maofeng and the others liked to eat it, they could ignore the musty smell.
You know, Lin Mo and his team spent a long time dissipating moldy smell today. It is obvious that they haven't entered for a while. Moreover, Lin Mo observed the traces of the cuts at the dry joints and also saw some clues.
When Chen Maofeng and his wife entered the basement, they should have gone in for some time to clean it, or take it out for food.
But here is different. Such a large space has been cleaned up and even the corners have been cleaned. You should know that this is not a basement. This is under the roof, there is much more dust than the basement.
Moreover, Lin Mo also discovered a difference here, that is, there were two chairs in front of the table, but there was only one in the basement.
Xu Gu Yu and others in the room below saw that Lin Mo had not been up, Zhang Hongxin asked, "Lin Mo, what's going on above? Is there any danger?"
Hearing the voice of inquiry coming from below, Lin Mo came back to his senses and replied, "No problem, I'll just check it again, it'll be fine right away."
After saying that, Lin Mo took the flashlight and started to light it everywhere, because when he was just looking, he saw that there was an electric light inside. Lin Mo wanted to find out where the switch was.
After looking around, Lin Mo saw a hand-pulled switch not far from his left hand. A wire hung down and a small iron nail was tied to the end.
Lin Mo checked carefully and found that it was not a mechanism, so he reached out to him.
With a "click", the bubble suddenly lit up.
Lin Mo looked at the wire connected to the switch, and his face felt thoughtful.
Lin Mo held the floor with his hand and pressed down, and his whole body came out of the hole.
Seeing this, Zhang Hongxin in the bedroom saw that there was light coming down, so he put away the flashlight and climbed towards the attic along the ladder.
Seeing someone coming up, Lin Mo stretched out his hand and helped Zhang Hongxin pull it up. After a while, Xu Guyu and Yang Haicheng also went up to the attic.
After Xu Guyu came up, he turned on the flashlight and looked around. Finally, the flashlight stopped on the tiles and sighed: "These Japanese spies are really cautious enough. Look, in order not to let the lights here shine, even the gaps between the tiles were blocked with hand mud."
Hearing Xu Gu Yu's sigh, Lin Mo looked over and found that the tiles were indeed blocked by gray-black objects. When he touched them, the touch was indeed cement, but there should be no sand inside. The color was similar to that of the blackened tiles. Lin Mo hadn't seen them just now.
