Chapter 210 Searching Qingshuijiang's Home

Thank you to user Lin for the generous donation, and thank you to the boss.

Finally, he found a book that he couldn't pull out in a hidden compartment in the study.

He tried twisting the book.

There was a "click".

A hidden passage appeared in the middle of the floor.

He said he felt something was wrong here. It turned out that the floor was hollow underneath, which was why it felt strange when he stepped on it.

no way.

He had been very familiar with the feeling under his feet, taking each step carefully, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed something was wrong so quickly.

Kazami Yuya carefully descended the stairs of the secret passage, surrounded by an old and decaying atmosphere.

Upon reaching the bottom, I saw the only room. The door was tightly closed, and it was covered with strange drawings.

He took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door. The room was dimly lit, but with the faint light, he could finally see his surroundings.

The room was completely empty; there was nothing inside.

That's impossible. They built a secret passage, and then there's nothing here?

That doesn't make any sense at all. What was the purpose of Qingshuijiang going through all that time and effort to build this secret passage?

Kazami Yuya suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that there might be a secret passage inside, otherwise the situation here would be inexplicable.

He mustered his courage and carefully took small steps forward, slowly walking forward. After walking all over the ground and finding nothing amiss, he felt relieved.

The space here wasn't particularly large, just a 6x6 floor. He took out a crowbar, went to the corner, and forcefully struck the crack.

Flames shot out, and the floor tiles, unable to withstand the impact, were quickly pried open.

And so, they pried open all the floorboards one by one.

Kazami Yuya collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

This job was incredibly tiring, but he still came up empty-handed. He couldn't take it anymore and called out into the walkie-talkie pressed against his chest.

"Two people, come to the study right now, find a book on the bookshelf that can't be moved, then twist the books on the bookshelf until you see the tunnel, then come down. I'll be down there."

Two calls came quickly from the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Received."

He was truly exhausted. He had originally intended to keep all the credit for himself, but it seemed he would have to share it with others.

soon.

Then they heard the sound of the tunnel opening behind them.

Two people came running down the street with crowbars in their hands.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Kazami Yuya stood up, dusted himself off, pointed at the wall, and said to the two men, "I've already pried open all the floor tiles. There's nothing suspicious, and I haven't found any useful information. Now, you two, pry open all the walls and see if there's anything there."

"Understood!" After receiving the order, the two policemen saluted and immediately started working, one person on each wall.

The dust was so thick that even Kazami Yu couldn't stand it, so he retreated outside the door, but his eyes remained fixed on the two people working.

The two policemen quickly pried open the wall, exposing the bare white wall to the three men.

Now Kazami Yuya was even more puzzled. The floor was fine, the walls were fine, so what was the purpose of this secret passage?

No matter how hard he tried, Kazami Yuya couldn't figure out what was going on, so he simply took the two of them upstairs and continued searching other places.

The number of police officers that Kazami Yuya brought this time was quite considerable. After all, it was an order personally given by the Superintendent General of Police, so there were plenty of people. As a result, when he came out, the villa in Shimizue had already been completely ransacked.

Kazami Yu watched as squad leaders came over to report.

"The area where the team is located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found."

"The area where the second team is located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found."

“The area where the three teams are located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found.”

"The area where the fourth team is located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found."

“The area where Team Five is located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found.”

"The area where Team Six is ​​located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found."

"The area where Team Seven is located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found."

"The area where Team Eight is located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found."

"The area where Team Nine is located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found."

"The area where Team Ten is located has been thoroughly searched, but no suspicious places or useful evidence have been found."

As one team after another reported their findings, Kazami Yuya's heart sank into the sea. Each team had nearly 20 people.

Each squad is responsible for an area. Once their area is searched, they must help other squads that haven't finished searching.

After the final search is completed, a cross-check should be performed to ensure that no one from the previous group has made any carelessness or missed anything.

If they didn't find it even after all that, then they definitely didn't find it. Even if he checked it again, it wouldn't make a difference.

These search teams are all elites from the public security bureau. If they don't find anything, it's useless for us to search again.

Just when Kazami Yuya was at his wit's end, his phone suddenly rang.

"Sir, we are searching the office of Superintendent Shimizue."

Kazami Yuya thought it was good news and quickly asked, "How did it go? Did you find any useful evidence?"

The person on the other end of the phone stammered, "Sir, you can see right through to the end of Superintendent Shimizu's office."

"Did you pry open all the floorboards and check his computer?" Kazami Yuya pressed again, something he had instructed the police officers involved in the operation to do.
