7123. Chapter 7123 Shahe Town 2
After putting away the iron box, he started looking for it in the room. However, after half a day, no darkroom or place to store things was found. "Weird." Leng Xuan muttered to himself, why isn't it 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 beside the stove in the kitchen. The stove is made of stone, but it is hollow inside. This hidden compartment is just 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 have taken the things away in advance?" Leng Xuan frowned and said: "No one knows there is something here except me." Li Mengjie said: "That's not necessarily true. You forgot, When we came in just now, the door locks were broken, indicating that a thief had 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 used this place as a temporary residence." After hearing their speculations, Leng Xuan couldn't help but scratch his head and secretly complained to 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 countermeasures, they heard a soft knock from the door, and then a few footsteps reached their ears. "Let's go and take a look." At that moment, Leng Xuan and the other three walked quickly towards the living room. Soon, two old men in ragged clothes appeared in their eyes. The two beggars obviously didn't expect that there was anyone else in the house. The appearance of Leng Xuan and the others immediately startled them and they almost fell to the ground.
"You...who are you?" A beggar looked at Leng Xuan and the others warily and asked. Leng Xuan asked: "You two have always lived here?" The beggar replied: "We have lived here for more than a month." Leng Xuan asked: "In this month, besides you two, there have been Has anyone else been here?" The two beggars looked at each other and shook their heads: "No." Leng Xuan said in a deep voice, "Then did you find anything here?" We are just staying here for the night. Besides, there is a lot of rags here. What valuable things can be there?" Leng Xuan said coldly: "I forgot to tell you that I am the owner of this room and I have stored a few things here before. Missing, and you are the only one here during this time, if not you, who would it be?"
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 beggar's expression without blinking. Judging from the change in his demeanor, he didn't look like he was lying. At this time, Li Mengjie was heard saying: "It's been so long, maybe those things were stolen a long time ago." Hearing this, Leng Xuan sighed secretly, feeling quite helpless. However, at this moment, an old man suddenly walked in outside the door. The old man was about sixty years old, his face was covered with age spots, and the hair on his head had long since fallen out. On the old man's hand was a dog.
