extradition officer

Jiang Jiankai heard her say: "You guys are so lucky. Recently, I've been thinking about packing up and burning all these old photos. Some of them are decades old. No one will come to ask for them, but I still think it's a souvenir. , what a pity to burn it."

She was nagging, and took the photo albums to the living room one after another. There were more than a dozen thick ones, and she pointed to the photo frames on the wall and said that those were the same, to see if they could help them.

Jiang Jian thanked him, and helped Zhang Yue put the photo albums on the table one by one, and asked Shen Mo to search to see if there were photos of Qiangwei's family in it.

This job is very simple for Shen Mo, he has seen Qiangwei's family portrait, and he can just look for it, but he doesn't understand why Jiang Jiankai is looking for photos, their purpose is obviously to find the whereabouts of evil spirits.

In all fairness, he is good at dispatching and commanding, and these detective-like detailed reasoning is not his strong point.

Thinking of this, Mo Mo raised his head to look at Jiang Jiankai, and suddenly felt that Zhang Yue was right, his temperament and demeanor really looked like a detective.

He imagined Jiang Jiankai wearing a detective windbreaker and looking around with a magnifying glass. Shen Mo felt that the image was quite cute. He smiled and looked through each one according to what Jiang Jiankai said without asking.

Jiang Jiankai couldn't help, so he went to accompany Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was still very concerned about the creature that attacked him just now, so he took a feather duster to sweep the dust in the corners, and bent over to check the corners, but he couldn't find them.

She muttered, "Where did that thing go? It would be terrible if it popped up out of nowhere at night."

Jiang Jiankai left a message for Yise to ask him to continue tracking the smell of the evil spirit in Zhang's house, and then slapped the wall intentionally or unintentionally, asking, "Does the nearby residents like to eat snail noodles and stinky tofu?"

"No, I can smell it occasionally. The smell is really hard to describe. A few days ago, I went to the next door and told them not to let them cook snail noodles, but there should be a restraint. They said they didn't cook them, and they were far away It’s so far away, even if it’s cooked, it won’t reach my house, and it even made a fuss about me.”

"Just now I went to knock on the door to do sales, but there seems to be no one there."

"The whole family went to work during the day."

Jiang Jiankai chatted casually, slapped the wall, and walked all the way to the end of the corridor.

There were two large picture frames hanging there, and the walls echoed hollowly as they were tapped.

Judging from the sound, there is not only a mezzanine, but also a deep one. Old houses used to have basements for easy storage, so he asked Zhang Yue.

"There seems to be a mezzanine here. Will cats and other small animals enter the mezzanine?"

Zhang Yue waved his hand.

"No, it's solid. When it comes to the mezzanine, there is one in the kitchen. My mother used to put pickles... Oops!"

Her voice suddenly became panicked, and she ran to the cubicle next to the kitchen.

Jiang Jiankai also followed. Hearing the sound of the wooden board being lifted, Zhang Yue turned over, obviously relieved, and picked up the wooden board to cover it, but Jiang Jiankai stretched out his hand to stop it.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Yue's voice sounded very nervous, Jiang Jiankai felt that she seemed to be hiding something, he sniffed his nose and asked, "Did you smell something strange?"

"No, hehe, but it's not surprising that there is a smell. There used to be pickles here."

"It's not the smell of pickles, but..."

What it was, Jiang Jiankai couldn't describe it, it was probably close to the smell of burning evil spirits.

But the smell was very faint. If Shen Mo hadn't said that there was a smell of evil spirits nearby, he probably wouldn't have thought that when he reached out to knock inside the mezzanine, Zhang Yue stopped him with an ah.

This move was even more obvious. Jiang Jiankai was afraid of arousing her disgust, so he didn't insist. He went back to the living room, intending to let Shen Mo find a chance to remain invisible and continue to investigate.

Shen Mo read almost the album, saw Jiang Jian driving in, and told him that he couldn't find it.

Zhang Yue then followed and said, "Maybe my dad didn't keep a record, and he doesn't keep a record every time he takes a photo, especially for unfamiliar guests."

"Are there any other photos?"

"No, that's all."

Just as he was talking, there was the sound of the kitten's galloping footsteps from the opposite side, and Yishi came out from nowhere, and ran into the living room along the corridor.

"Ah, you wild cat!"

Zhang Yue saw it, and picked up a feather duster to chase it away. It jumped a few times, jumped in front of Jiang Jiankai, meowed at him, turned around and ran out again immediately after screaming.

Jiang Jiankai felt that there was something wrong, so he hurriedly followed, and Yishi ran out of the gate and went around to the back of the house.

The back of the yard has not been tidied up for a long time, it is covered with weeds, and there are traces of trampling in some places, Yishi jumped into the grass and disappeared.

Jiang Jiankai pushed the weeds away and probed with a telescopic stick. There was a small hole deep in the weeds, and Yishi got in through the hole.

Shen Shen and Zhang Yue also followed. Zhang Yue saw it and became anxious, saying, "Oops, is this a hole made by a mouse?"

There was a kitten's meowing inside. From the echo, the hole should be very deep.

Jiang Jiankai yelled towards the entrance of the cave: "Yise, you run around inside, shouting while running."

"Meow……"

There was a cat screaming from below, the sound was sharp, and it took a long time to stop.

Zhang Yue listened, looked at Jiang Jiankai, and said, "It seems very angry."

"If someone made me run and yell around the big playground, I'd be pissed too."

"So it's your cat," Zhang Yue was amused, and said, "It sounds like it's very big underneath."

"It's bigger than your living room. It's about 2.5 meters high. There are a lot of things. It should be the basement, and..."

There was also that strange smell, Jiang Jiankai could smell it more clearly because he was close to the entrance of the cave, and he turned silent.

Silence observed the situation near the small hole. It looks like a hidden vent hole, which should be sealed normally, so they didn't find the source of the dead air before. Thanks to the rain yesterday, the vent hole collapsed.

He followed Jiang Jian back to the house, but Zhang Yue still didn't believe it, and said, "My house doesn't have a basement. I grew up here, and I never heard from my parents."

"No mistake, the entrance should be here."

Jiang Jian drove to the wall at the end of the corridor. He reached out to touch the photo frame, and silently reminded him that they were two old photos. The corners of the photo frame were faded, and there was a layer of dust on the hanging rope. It should have been a long time since no one touched this place.

Jiang Jiankai listened to the silent narration, and took down the photo frame after obtaining Zhang Yue's consent.

Silently inspected the wall carefully, it was actually a whole piece of wood, painted with white paint, very thick, plus a large photo frame was hung, so it was very non-existent.

Mo Mo turned his head to look at the window next to him. It was a diamond-shaped wooden window, fixed on the wall. He touched the inside of the window frame, and sure enough, he found a loose buckle. He pulled the loose buckle, and the stuck part of the wall was released.

When Jiang Jiankai heard the slap, he stretched out his hand to push, and the wall opened with his push, revealing the steps inside.

Zhang Yue let out a soft cry, obviously seeing a basement, she was more shocked than Jiang Jiankai and Shen Mo.
