After putting away the iron box, he started searching in the room. However, after a long time, he did not find any darkroom or place to store things. "Weird." Leng Xuan muttered to himself, why wasn't there? Did he look in the wrong place?
While thinking about it, I heard Sophia say: "Mr. Leng, come here and take a look." After hearing this, Leng Xuan immediately walked over to her.
"Mr. Leng, look here." Following Sophia's finger, Leng Xuan discovered that there was a hidden compartment next to the stove in the kitchen. The stove was made of stone, but it was hollow inside.
, this secret compartment happened to be inside the stove. However, when Leng Xuan reached in, he only found a box, and the box was still empty, with nothing in it. Li Mengjie guessed: "Could someone be there in advance?"
Did you take the things away?" Leng Xuan frowned and said: "No one knows there is anything here except me." Li Mengjie said: "That's not necessarily true. You forgot, when we came in just now, the door locks were broken.
Yes, it means that thieves have been here." Sophia nodded and said: "Miss Li is right. In addition, I checked just now and found signs that someone had lived here. Maybe the homeless people and beggars nearby regarded this place as a place of residence.
Temporary residence." After hearing their guesses, Leng Xuan couldn't help but scratch his head and secretly complained about Uncle Zhang.
Since I left something for him, let's find a safer place. Now that the thing is lost, where can he find it? Just as he was thinking about the countermeasures, he heard a soft sound from the door, and then several

Hearing this, the expressions of the two beggars changed, and they quickly said: "Don't accuse people randomly, we have never stolen anything from here." Leng Xuan stared at the other's expression without blinking, and saw from the other's expression
