Seeing Lin Mo looking at the money box in a daze, Xu Guyu stood up, walked to Lin Mo, and said: "Lin Mo, the property we found is indeed only this little. Your classmates were also present when we searched.
I won’t lie to you.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Chief Xu, I didn't mean that, and I didn't doubt you."
"I just think it's a little strange. A few days ago, we clearly noticed that Chen Maofeng brought something very heavy back here. At that time, we speculated that it should be property."
"But even if it's not property, there's nothing here that matches that weight and size. I think there's probably something we haven't found yet."
Hearing what Lin Mo said, Xu Guyu also frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "We haven't searched the yard and the house yet. Let's go and search inside together."
.”
Hearing Xu Guyu's words, Lin Mo nodded, and the two of them walked towards the backyard together.
When they arrived at the backyard, they saw a group of people gathered together. Lin Mo and the two quickly quickened their pace to see what was going on inside.
"Damn...it's copper coins..."
The two of them got closer and heard Yang Haicheng's curses coming from the crowd.
Lin Mo and Xu Guyu looked at each other. Although they both saw the disappointment in each other's eyes, they still chose to go in.
Once inside, Lin Mo saw the clay pot placed in front of Yang Haicheng. A pit was dug next to the pot, and there were traces of the pot being stored in it.
Inside the clay pot, there were copper coins that had become rusty.
Lin Mo took one out of the clay pot, wiped the green rust, and found that these things were from the Ming Dynasty, and they must have been buried for a long time.
Lin Mo threw the copper coins back into the clay pot and asked, "Haicheng, have you ever encountered such a situation during your detection?"
"It's just a metal detector. It makes a sound within a large range, but the sound is not very loud."
Hearing Lin Mo's question, Yang Haicheng shook his head and said: "No, as long as there is movement in the metal detector, no matter how big or small, I will dig out these things."
Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a little disappointed. Then he asked other people who used metal detectors and found that they were like Yang Haicheng. As long as there was movement in the metal detector, they would not stop until they dug out the things.
.
Hearing these words, Lin Mo felt a little relieved, but also a little disappointed.
The reason why Lin Mo asked this was that Lin Mo felt that if Chen Maofeng and others dug the basement in Chen's house, once a lot of property was stored in it, it would cause the metal detector to go off.
But basements are generally not too shallow, and metal detectors of this era may not be able to detect them accurately. That's why Lin Mo asked them.
However, judging from the current situation, either the basement does not exist, or the basement is too deep and the metal detector cannot detect it at all, but no matter which situation it is, it is a big trouble for Lin Mo and others.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo said to everyone: "When you are inspecting, don't just use metal detectors to inspect, but also pay attention to whether there are any problems on the ground and walls."
"Is there any trace of it being moved? Is there any hollow sound when knocking? Is there any interlayer in the wall? We need to check carefully."
"Yes..." Classmate Lin Mo who was present, after hearing Lin Mo's instructions, immediately responded and started to take action.
As for the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department, they all looked at Xu Guyu aside.
Seeing the looks of these people, Xu Guyu immediately cursed angrily: "What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and move."
Hearing the scolding, the people from the Military Intelligence Office also quickly started to move along with Lin Mo's classmates.
"Hmph..." Xu Guyu snorted coldly when he saw this situation, then walked to Lin Mo and said: "Lin Mo, tell me what you found?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled bitterly and said: "Chief Xu, you think too highly of me. I didn't find anything."
"I just think that since Chen Maofeng has brought back a lot of things this time, there must be a place for them to hide their things here."
"And what we have found now is too little. Whether it is property or firearms, they are not consistent. And they should have a lot of property. I speculate that they should have a large space to store these things."
"This kind of large space is very suitable for basements and mezzanines, so I asked them to pay more attention to see if they can find these spaces."
After listening to Lin Mo's story, Xu Guyu nodded, and then looked around with Lin Mo.
As Lin Mo walked, he paid attention to the size of each room, and measured the length and width of the room with his big feet.
Xu Guyu paid more attention to the ground under his feet. Every time he entered a room, he would knock the ground with a wooden stick.
When Lin Mo and Xu Guyu entered a study room on the first floor, Lin Mo immediately noticed something strange and quickly started walking and measuring his steps.
When Xu Guyu saw Lin Mo's actions, he just thought that Lin Mo was a little anxious, so he didn't pay attention and continued to knock on the ground.
After Lin Mo walked twice in a row, he stopped in front of a bookshelf. At this time, the books on the bookshelf were still well arranged. It seemed that the books outside should have been found from other places.
Looking at the books on the bookshelf, Lin Mo nodded. If these things were not moved, it would be in line with the search. If everything was really moved, a lot of things might be missed.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt relieved. It seemed that the Military Intelligence Office did have some methods. They should have their own set of things to do, and they knew what could be moved and what could not be moved.
Lin Mo looked around the bookshelf carefully, but found no trace of the bookshelf being moved on the ground.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing this, Lin Mo frowned, and when he raised his head, his brows suddenly relaxed, because Lin Mo saw that there was a stripe on the white-painted wall in front of him.
Thin scratches, and the scratches are straight.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo looked at the bookshelf on one side again. After looking at it twice, Lin Mo finally discovered something unusual.
Lin Mo squatted down, held the legs of the bookshelf, and pulled hard.
"Crack..." The legs of the bookshelf were immediately pulled down by Lin Mo.
"Something has been discovered..." Lin Mo and Xu Guyu's voices sounded at the same time.
When the two heard each other's voice, they both looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Lin Mo stood up and raised the bookshelf leg in his hand. One end of the bookshelf leg was a tenon, which could fit perfectly with the gap in the bookshelf.
Seeing Lin Mo's raised bookshelf leg, Xu Guyu smiled and stabbed the ground beside him several times with the wooden stick in his hand.
"Dong dong dong..." A dull hollow sound came into Lin Mo's ears.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo put down the bookshelf legs in his hands, ran outside quickly, and called other people.
When Lin Mo came back in, Xu Guyu had already come to the bookshelf, holding the bookshelf legs that Lin Mo had put down, and looking at them carefully.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo said hello to Xu Guyu, then took off all four bookshelf legs, and then pulled the bookshelf with force from the other side.
When the bookshelf was slowly opened, what was behind the bookshelf was immediately revealed. On the wall behind the bookshelf, a door-like opening had been opened, but there was no door on it.
Seeing this, Xu Guyu put down the bookshelf leg in his hand, walked to the opening, put his head in, and checked it carefully.
After seeing that there was no danger, Xu Guyu took stock of the situation inside. However, there was a musty smell inside, which made Xu Guyu feel relaxed and gently covered his nose.
This is a one-meter-wide space, a small compartment separated by bricks. One side is a little dark, but through the light coming in from the door, you can vaguely see a staircase leading down.
After roughly seeing the situation inside, Xu Guyu stepped back, took a few breaths of fresh air, pointed at the two of them and said, "You two, go find a flashlight."
After saying that, he moved a little further away from the door, and then continued: "The musty smell inside is too strong, it's too smokey. Everyone, please open the windows and let the inside breathe before we go in."
After hearing this, everyone already smelled the musty smell emanating from inside, and quickly opened the windows of the study room.
Lin Mo, who was standing not far from the door, frowned slightly when he heard the musty smell coming from inside.
Seeing Lin Mo's expression, Xu Guyu asked: "Lin Mo, what's wrong? What happened again?"
Hearing this question, Lin Mo turned around and asked: "Chief Xu, why is this musty smell so strong?"
Hearing what Lin Mo said, Xu Guyu smiled and said: "This basement is like this, especially in our south, where there is a lot of rain, and the underground is generally very humid."
"When the basement is built for a while, there will be a strong musty smell. If it is built for a long time and you live in it every day, the musty smell will not be too little."
"They definitely don't use something like this every day. There's nothing strange about it having such a strong musty smell."
Hearing what Xu Guyu said, Lin Mo nodded, but in his heart, Lin Mo still had a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Lin Mo glanced at the door a few more times, then shook his head and walked aside. The musty smell inside was indeed too strong.
After a while, the two people who went out to look for a flashlight came in, but it was obviously not the time to go in at this time. The musty smell inside had spread to the entire room, and Lin Mo and others had already walked to the door of the study.
After waiting for a while, when the musty smell completely dissipated, Xu Guyu took the lead and took the lead in checking the door again with a flashlight.
