"Squeak~"

Katie unlocked the study door, and a blast of cool air rushed in.

The heavy curtains in the study were tightly closed, blocking the entire room from light. Katie then carefully turned on the lamp next to the desk.

Even though she knew Thomas was still at the party, Katie was still cautious about turning on unnecessary lights. Many things were hard to say. If Thomas came back temporarily and Sparrow didn't have the chance to notify her in time, Katie couldn't guarantee where he would be.

After being exposed, will Si Boning kill himself before Thomas to silence himself?

Katie hoped she was worrying too much, but it was better to be careful.

She used her experience in cleaning housework to carefully check every corner of the study, and finally found a crack behind a thick dictionary in the bookcase.

Katie moved the book away in surprise, took out a small flashlight from her arms and examined it carefully, and found that it was actually a hidden compartment.

This secret compartment is about fifteen centimeters high and ten centimeters wide. It is perfect for placing documents and other things. Katie was surprised to find that this secret compartment did not have a password lock. Thomas must be too confident and thought that no one would

You must be undefended if you dare to enter his study and look through his bookcases.

Katie took out a slender silver needle from her arms and gently tested the gap in the secret compartment. After making sure that there was no mechanism, she carefully pried open the secret compartment. An antique dark red box with exquisite carvings appeared in front of Katie's eyes.

Judging from the color and smell, the box is made of sandalwood. It is lying there quietly, occupying almost all the space in the dark compartment.

Katie put on her gloves and gently took the box out. The pattern on the outside of the box was very weird, like a giant python, with its scaled body twisting and twisting around each other, covering the entire lid of the box. Katie

I couldn't help but shudder and tried my best to shake off those unpleasant memories about "snake".

Katie followed the exquisite curves of the snake body and found a terrifying snake head with a wide mouth on the side of the wooden box. The switch of the box should be here, Katie thought, seeing that the entire box was smooth and smooth without any

I tried to press the protrusion on the snake's head.

"Click" a crack opened in the center of the box. Katie held her chest that was beating faster and faster. She didn't expect that after Si Baining had been looking for something for so long without any results, she would actually win the first battle.

Katie couldn't help but take two deep breaths, and then stopped her fingers from shaking slightly with excitement. She gently opened the lid of the box, and lying on the light yellow velvet cushion was a silver pistol. Katie was shocked

, hurriedly took the pistol and the soft pad out of the box, and groped around in the box but couldn't find any sandwich.

Katie looked at the small pistol with dismay. It felt familiar. It should be the same pistol that Thomas took on the plane four years ago, but the handle of the gun in front of her was inlaid with black pearls, which looked particularly elegant and unique.

.Katie couldn't help but pick up the pistol and play with it.

The natural black pearls on the handle of the gun glowed with colorful luster under the light as Katie's palm reacted. Katie couldn't help but hold the handle of the gun and caressed the dazzling gems, which were smooth and smooth.

The touch is so addictive.

After a moment, Katie took out a soft cloth from her pocket and carefully wiped off the fingerprints on the gun, then reluctantly put the gun back into the box and stuffed it into the hidden compartment.

At this time, Katie had to admit that things were not as smooth as she thought. The will was not easy to find, which also showed its importance. Katie carefully put the books back in the bookcase in the original order, and suddenly thought of Thomas' bedroom

wardrobe, I couldn't help but wonder if there was a secret room behind this bookcase.

Katie thought about the remote control in Thomas's hand that day, and started groping around the room. Katie first opened the drawer in the middle of the desk, and there was a black notebook inside. Seeing that there was no remote control, she was going to look for it in the small cabinet next to it.

Turning aside, he accidentally touched the soft cloth that he had used to clean the pistol on the ground.

Katie ducked under the desk to pick up the soft cloth, and found that the center of the entire desk was close to the floor.

Katie quickly stood up and walked around the desk. From the outside, it looked like there were cylindrical legs on each side of the desk, with solid texture. However, when Katie got under the desk again, she discovered that there was something different inside.

There must be something fishy here. Katie thought, and raised her hand to knock on the extra wooden board. The sound of "dong dong dong" was dull and sounded like it was solid.

Is there any secret hidden under the floor? Katie quickly opened the small cabinets on both sides of the desk. When she saw that they were empty, she felt more and more unreasonable. Then she turned on the flashlight. After a while, Katie found a metal plate at the bottom of the cabinet with inlays on it.

with a row of ancient Roman numerals.

Katie guessed that this was the key to opening the secret room. Her fingers hovered hesitantly above the number keys. At this time, the air in the study almost condensed. Katie sighed and retracted her hand helplessly. She was not sure about opening the secret room.
