Skilled in managing a house

"What do you mean...playing the pipa so late..." Zhang Yu muttered to himself and slowly walked towards the room on the left.

When he came to the door, Zhang Yu listened carefully. He heard it more clearly this time. He could really tell that although it was a pipa song, it was not played on the pipa by someone on the spot because there was no sound of strings playing. . He was almost certain that this should be played.

Zhang Yu looked again with his inner eye, but his inner eye was not omnipotent and not a clairvoyant eye. Whether there is someone in the room needs to be judged by the sound made by the other person's movements. If it is close, it can also be determined by breathing.

However, if the other party does not make any moves, it is difficult to determine. Zhang Yu felt it for a while, but didn't feel any other movement inside.

If it were a thief, he would definitely not dare to take any further action and would definitely go to other rooms to steal. After all, Zhang Yu was not a thief. He came to check on Zhuo Wei's situation, so he couldn't come in vain.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yu had a plan. Since there is music here, maybe Zhuo Wei is inside. It is also a good choice to meet twice to confirm whether Zhuo Wei is Mr. Han and whether he has any cultivation level. It was exposed, but apart from the first time, there was no other way at the moment.

After making up his mind, Zhang Yu simply reached out and grabbed the door handle and twisted it gently. The door handle slowly turned with his hand, and then slowly pushed forward. He pushed the door open a small crack and peeked inside.

There is a small walkway inside the door, next to it is the bathroom, but there is nothing else inside. Zhang Yu waited for a moment, pushed the door half open, stepped in, and gently closed the door.

He slowly took two steps forward, came to the corner of the aisle, and took another peek. This time I can see the whole bedroom. The bedroom is not small, but there are not many furnishings inside. There is a large bed and a wardrobe. There was no one on the bed. There was an MP4 player on the bedside table, and that was probably where the sound came from.

Zhang Yu walked over and looked at the MP4 on the bedside. The only song playing was "White Clothes Crossing the River". He didn't know if he forgot to turn it off before going to bed, or something else.

He looked around and saw nothing of value, so he exited the room and came to the door of the next room. He still listened for a while but didn't hear the sound, then gently pushed the door open a crack and looked inside.

This time it was a study room. There was no one in it. There were desks and bookcases. There were many books in the cabinets, including classics and history, as well as a lot of music scores. Zhang Yu also checked in the study for a while, but also found nothing special.

He then went to the other two rooms, the tea room and the reception room. There was nothing in them.

"No one is at home..." Zhang Yu was almost sure that no one was at home.

He then went upstairs, where there was a loft and a large terrace, suitable for barbecues and drying. Zhang Yu didn't gain anything in the attic. It seemed like his trip was in vain.

But precisely because there was no one at home, Zhang Yu had a thought in his mind, "Zhuo Wei is not at home...then could he really be the same person as Mr. Han..."

But regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhang Yu couldn't be sure if he wasn't at home. He was very unwilling and walked downstairs helplessly.

Returning to the first floor, Zhang Yu couldn't help but wonder, what should he do now?

"Huh?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yu suddenly heard something, "Basement..."

Zhang Yu himself is engaged in real estate and knows very well about villas. The villas these days all have basements. This can make reasonable use of space and increase the usable area.

I just searched the first floor, but didn't find the entrance to the basement. Zhang Yu squatted down and tapped the ground gently.

The floor was paved with tiles, so it was difficult for others to hear anything, but Zhang Yu was not an ordinary person. He could confirm in a few seconds that the place below was empty.

"Sure enough, there is a basement..." Zhang Yu mused to himself, and then murmured in his heart, "The entrances to other people's basements are obvious. Why can't you see the entrance to Zhuo Wei's basement... There is a problem, there is definitely a problem... "

So cool, who would hide the entrance to the basement?

"Ha..." Zhang Yu chuckled and begged secretly: "As long as there is an entrance, no matter where you hide it, I can find it."

Generally speaking, the stairs in the basement are located at the stairs leading upstairs, and the two are usually connected. Of course, there are some that are not connected, but they are usually large villas. The villa like Zhuo Wei can only be regarded as a small single-family villa, which is incomparable to the villa of Zhang Yu's family.

Zhang Yu took a few steps to the stairs. There were walls on both sides of the stairs, and the steps were not particularly wide. There was nothing visible on the surface. Zhang Yu didn't think there was any problem when he went up. When Zhang Yu deliberately searched for the downward stairs this time, he discovered the problem.

In any house, space must be used rationally. On the left side of the stairs, where the large living room is, is separated by a wall. This is no problem. The right side of the stairs is different, there is a bathroom.

Zhang Yu had not entered the bathroom just now. Now he walked over, turned on the light, and took a look inside. The bathroom is not big, with a sink and a toilet, both of which are less than four square meters. From the other end of the bathroom to the section near the stairs, it is three meters long. The length inside the bathroom is almost two meters, with a gap of one meter. This distance is roughly the width of a staircase.

"It seems that the problem is here..." Zhang Yu came to the front of the wall, raised his hand and tapped lightly. It was indeed empty inside.

But judging from the sound, the wall should be very thick. Zhang Yu estimated that it could be forty centimeters. On the outer wall, there is nothing except wallpaper.

Zhang Yu knocked up and down, looking for the mechanism to open the door. After knocking for a long time, he found nothing unusual.

After a second thought, Zhang Yu realized that the agency might not be here. The reason is simple. The wall is so thick and there is no weak spot. It is definitely not an easy task to open a 40-centimeter-thick wall directly.

There was only a bathroom in the adjacent place, and Zhang Yu entered the bathroom again. On the wall near the stairs, there is a toilet in front of it and a wastebasket next to the toilet.

Zhang Yu walked to the toilet and knocked gently. The sound was relatively hollow. He was immediately sure that the wall on this side was much thinner than that on the other side, almost a single layer of bricks.

"The mechanism should be here." Zhang Yu muttered and continued to tap.

He is looking for a portal, a thinner place. This is a bathroom, and it's almost impossible to move the entire wall. So, there must be a thinner door.

Zhang Yu knocked from top to bottom. When he hit less than 20 centimeters above the wastebasket, the sound from the wall suddenly changed and became hollower. It was obvious that the wall here was particularly thin, that is, a The thickness of the door.
