"Uncle Clan, this secret passage must be behind the closet. I just don't know where the secret to opening the secret passage is hidden?"
Yong Ganping squatted down, checked the foot of the bed, took out the small flashlight he carried with him, shined it under the bed, and spoke.
Yong Shijing walked to the closet, checked the inside of the closet, and then looked outside, confirming that this closet was the doorway to the secret passage.
"Since the entrance to this secret passage is in Xie Tingsong's room, the method to open the secret passage must be simple."
Yong Shijing said her own conclusion.
After Yong Ganping looked under the bed, he found that there was nothing under the bed, so he stood up, looked at Yong Shijing and asked: "Uncle Clan, why do you think that the method of opening this secret passage is simple and easy?
?”
Yong Shijing did not answer his question directly, but asked: "Gan Ping, why is the secret passage located in the bedroom?"
"Uncle Clan, I think the purpose of opening the secret passage is to facilitate escape in case of emergency."
Yong Shijing nodded, "You said the most important point in setting up a secret passage is to make it easier to escape in an emergency.
In fact, whether it is a secret passage or a secret room, they are all set up to protect oneself, so can his method of opening it be complicated?
Based on the same principle, we can also judge that the speed at which secret passages open and appear is also rapid.
If the door to the secret passage is opened slowly, then it is as if the secret passage does not exist, and the value of helping the people inside the secret passage to escape safely is lost."
Yong Ganping nodded, feeling that his uncle's analysis was very thorough.
Yong Shijing continued: "After checking the wardrobe, you concluded that the secret passage is at the back of the wardrobe. This judgment is accurate and I agree.
The secret passages or chambers set up indoors are nothing more than the following places. One is the ground, which is dug down to form a sealed space for hiding and avoiding disasters.
Or, dig a tunnel leading to the outside and use the golden cicada to escape from its shell.
This bedroom is located on the second floor, with Qi Baohong and Zhang Li's rooms below, so we can rule out the possibility that the secret passage is under the floor of the room.
There may also be secret passages or chambers on the roof.
Usually, a ceiling is used to separate an attic so that people can hide in it.
I have seen the facade of this building on the street just now. Its roof is gabled and has the conditions to be used as a loft.
But now you see, there is no suspended ceiling in this room, and you can directly see the roof, so you can rule out the possibility of a secret passage or secret room on the roof.
The only place left where a secret passage or chamber can be set up is the wall.
We can first rule out the possibility that there is a secret passage or secret room on the wall at the entrance to the bedroom, because there is the living room behind the wall, which does not meet the conditions for implementation.
Then, there is a window on the left side of the room, and outside the window is the street of Andu Si Lane. The right side of the entrance is also facing the street, and there are no conditions for implementation.
Now, only the wall where the wardrobe and bed are placed can be used to make a fuss.
In comparison, the place where the wardrobe is placed is the most suitable location for hiding the secret passage.
But the secret key to entering the secret passage is above the bed."
Yong Shijing made a clear analysis based on the situation of this bedroom, and finally concluded that they should find the secret passage mechanism above this bed.
Regarding Yong Shijing's conclusion, Yong Ganping asked: "Uncle, the bed is the key to opening the secret passage. Can you explain it to me more clearly? I don't understand."
Yong Shijing smiled and said: "If you live in this bedroom, in order to prevent someone from accidentally breaking in and making it easier for you to hide or escape, you have opened a secret passage to the outside. You will place the secret of opening the secret passage far away from you.
A place?”
Yong Ganping shook his head, denying the possibility of locating the secret far away, and then realized: "This secret must be placed within his reach, so that he can easily open the secret passage. In a critical moment, he can grab it
Every second counts, so you are one minute closer to safety, and the chance of getting out safely is one minute longer."
"So, if we want to find the key to the secret passage, we must focus on this bed."
Yong Shijing stood in front of the closet, checking the closet door, shaking it left and right, and said.
Yong Ganping nodded and approached the bed, lowered his head and looked carefully at the copper railings at the beginning and end of the bed, looking for the location of the mechanism.
Yong Shijing walked from the closet to the bed with a smile. He seemed to have done it on purpose. When he left the closet, he did not close the door.
"Gan Ping, twist the copper head on the top of the railing at the head of the bed outside. Let's see if we can twist it. Observe what will happen after twisting it?"
Yong Shijing ordered with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle Clan."
Yong Ganping agreed and reached out to twist the copper head on the top of the railing near the bedside and the desk.
He first twisted it clockwise, but the copper head didn't move at all.
Then, he changed to twisting counterclockwise, and an amazing scene happened.
I saw that the copper head that seemed to be integrated with the railing actually turned with Yong Ganping's hand, and it was very smooth and silent.
After the bronze head rotated half a turn, Yong Ganping could no longer twist it.
Yong Ganping immediately let go of his hand and turned to look at the wardrobe. There was no change in the wardrobe.
Yong Ganping couldn't help but stood up in confusion and walked to the closet to check.
He didn't know why he had clearly opened the secret passage, but why didn't the wardrobe, which was the door to the secret passage, open?
Yong Shijing looked at her nephew's actions with a smile, and did not give any instructions, but waited for him to ask her for help.
At the same time, he took out a small flashlight from his body and was ready to explore the secret passage.
Sure enough, after looking left and right, Yong Ganping found nothing, turned around and looked at Yong Shijing for help.
Yong Shijing pointed to the bed with a smile and said: "Twist the other three copper capitals at the head and foot of the bed to confirm whether they are fixed? If they are fixed, it is correct. If there is any twisting, what is the situation?
It’s complicated.”
Yong Ganping did not have time to ask Yong Shijing why he made such a judgment, so he did as he was told.
Three copper capitals were tried, but none could be twisted.
Yong Ganping was flexible, and without waiting for Yong Shijing's instructions, he lifted and pressed the three copper heads one by one, but they still did not move at all.
Seeing that he was done struggling, Yong Shijing stepped forward and turned the copper head that could be twisted first to its original position, then walked to the closet and closed the door.
"Gan Ping, sit on the bed and twist the copper head on the bedside railing like before. If nothing else happens, we will definitely be able to see the secret passage this time."
Yong Shijing stood on guard at the side of the wardrobe and gave orders to Yong Ganping.
