Chapter 130: Sub-Picture
If there really is a secret room, then the other half of the account books are most likely hidden inside.
However, there is one thing that doesn't make sense. When Jiang Hao hypnotized Lu Zhan and asked about the account book, why did Lu Zhan only tell him the secret in the table?
Shouldn't everything be revealed?
Cherry probably didn’t lie, and Lu Zhan might have told everything, so what went wrong?
Jiang Hao pondered over this question, while Xu Xing continued to ask Yingtao some questions, some of which she knew, and some of which she didn't.
"Now that you've finished asking questions, can I go now?"
Cherry's little face was covered with tears. If it were someone else, they would have fallen for her long ago.
Jiang Hao and Xu Xing were not "others" and did not buy her trick. Jiang Hao just shook his head at her and smiled ghostly: "I'm afraid... you can't leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, he struck her with a knife, knocking her unconscious.
Xu Xing didn't know why she kept the cherries, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "It's still early before dark. Let's find a place to rest first."
"Now, maybe there is an opportunity."
Jiang Hao dragged the cherry to a branch and hid it, then jumped down from the tree: "Such a big thing happened in the mine. What is the situation and whether it affects mining, Lu Zhan must ask in person. If he goes to the mine, this is an opportunity."
"Makes sense."
So the two of them sneaked back to the small building.
Lu Zhan was indeed not there.
Based on Cherry's description, the two easily found Lu Zhan's study.
However, the study door was locked from the outside and there was no way to get in.
However, this kind of thing could not possibly be difficult for Jiang Hao. She jumped onto the roof, lifted the tiles, and entered the study through the roof.
It all happened so smoothly that Xu Xing was stunned.
He thought...
Forget it, there's no way she could take the ordinary path.
Lu Zhan's study is not big, and there are only some ordinary furnishings on the antique shelf. Looking around, it is no different from a normal study.
Xu Xing walked to the desk, where a pile of account books were placed in a very conspicuous position.
He flipped through it casually, and it recorded in detail an expenditure for a certain thing in a certain year and month - this was the account book that Cherry mentioned.
This was not what he was looking for.
Xu Xing closed the account book and began to look for the mechanism, aiming at the secret room mentioned by Cherry.
He searched the area around the desk carefully twice, even looked at the ornaments on the desk and touched the wall behind the chair, but still couldn't find the mechanism.
Where will it be?
Xu Xing was looking around when his eyes fell on the painting hanging in the study.
Coincidentally, Jiang Hao was also looking at these calligraphy and paintings.
Jiang Hao immediately took down one of the paintings and brought it to the window. With the sunlight coming through, he could clearly see that there was a layer in the middle of the painting, with something densely written in the layer.
As for what it is, I can't see clearly.
Seeing that she seemed to have discovered the secret, Xu Xing also took down the painting and walked to the window to check, and he could also see dense handwriting.
"No wonder no other account books were found. These pages are definitely not account books."
Jiang Hao was truly in awe of Lu Zhan's cunningness. Having been through so many dimensions, this was the first time he had seen someone who could hide things like Lu Zhan.
Cherry would never have thought that there was something fishy in the calligraphy and painting.
And if I had not been interested in the "Hundred Children Picture" and taken a closer look at it, I would not have been able to discover the secret in it.
A picture is undoubtedly Lu Zhan's inner expression and desire.
"somebody is coming."
Xu Xing heard footsteps.
Jiang Hao and Xu Xing looked at each other, and immediately put the painting back on the wall. Then they climbed up the beams and covered the tile above their heads, blocking out the sunlight...
