Seeing the hanging rope move, he looked up and saw Chen Tianhua's figure flashing at the mouth of the well. The anxious Gu Zhunian finally smiled, and his hanging heart dropped.

After grabbing the rope, he used all his strength to climb along the rope from the water.

Chen Tianhua, who was above, began to use his arms to pull up the rope, and lifted the hanging Gu Zhunian up from the bottom of the well.

It was pitch dark in the lonely atrium house, not even a ghost was seen. There was only a light on in a room in the distance, and the two night watchmen were probably still drinking.

By the moonlight, the two sneaked into the inner courtyard and headed towards the location of the library in the west wing marked on the map.

These were marked by the gang in the afternoon, so there should be no mistakes.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all important objects, except gold and silver treasures, might be placed in secret caves in the cellar, while antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and unique books would generally be placed in the library.

It's dry, ventilated and not humid there.

Nowadays, the study room has become a place where the owner has secret meetings and conversations. People often come in and out, and maids and servants often come to clean the house. Therefore, it is unlikely that the more important document collections will be placed in the study room.

If this Shi Jin really had copies of important roster documents, he would definitely put them in this library.

Anyway, let’s try to search first. If there is anything, it’s best. If there’s not, it’s not too late to enter the study. Besides, we can only arrest people for interrogation.

Glancing at the deserted corridor, Chen Tianhua gestured to Gu Zhunian.

Gestures are sign language, which is the basic essentials in special warfare. Chen Tianhua taught them.

Gu Zhunian naturally understood Chen Tianhua's sign language and asked him to open the door of the library while he kept watch outside.

This also allows Gu Zhunian to find an opportunity to practice and hone his skills.

I saw Gu Zhunian hunched over and ran to the door of the library in a hurry.

This is a double-open mahogany door with no exposed lock.

He tried to push the door open and found that the double doors of the library were locked with internal bolts, and the hidden hole was hidden under the copper door knocker.

Gu Zhunian gently turned the door knocker, and sure enough, the hidden hole and the bolt inside were revealed.

He pulled out the short blade from his back, inserted it into the dark hole and began to fiddle with it. After a while, he removed the plug.

Chen Tianhua said during his lecture that it is impossible for a library or study room to be equipped with an anti-theft iron door or a huge stone door. However, if such a hidden tip is used, there is often a concealed arrow or alarm mechanism.

Gu Zhu young man gently pushed the door in and suddenly stopped. He had good eyesight and saw the very thin black line in the door gap.

Mom, it really is so.

If an ordinary thief pushes the door recklessly, the door will definitely hit the black line when it is opened.

You can imagine what will happen next, so he is now breaking out in a cold sweat.

After coming out of his mother's womb, it was the first time for Gu Zhunian to do such a secretive and delicate job, so he was naturally very nervous.

Fortunately, he had been thinking over it in his mind and simulating it several times today.

Gu Zhunian took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mood, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then cut the black line with a short blade, and then slowly opened the door.

At this time, the open part of the door was very narrow, barely enough for a person to step in sideways, and there seemed to be resistance when pushing further.

Gu Zhunian frowned, thinking that the bastard who was responsible for this secret organization would have been scolded by his ancestors for eighteen generations.

He was looking at his feet, taking a deep breath, leaning sideways against the crack in the door, and then climbed in.

Fortunately, he is now wearing tight-fitting fishnets, and his figure has shrunk a lot. Normally, this big man would be suffocated.

After closing the door again, he carefully removed the two alarm bells connected by the black wire. After moving the wooden flowerpot behind the door, he carefully inspected the entrance to the door.

Only after confirming that there were no other organs in the library, he reopened the door and stretched out his head to give Chen Tianhua a signal.

Chen Tianhua, who was on guard outside, watched Gu Zhunian reopen the door and give the signal. He smiled with satisfaction and ran out, and immediately jumped into the library.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Zhunian explaining with gestures, which meant that he had just discovered a small mechanism and was delayed for some time.

"It doesn't matter, let's look for something first to see if there is any?" He replied with a gesture.

What Chen Tianhua was talking about, of course, was referring to what Meng Wei said that morning, the directory of enemy agents lurking, or the directory of equity transactions, number of shares, transaction certificates, etc. Anyway, the more the merrier.

Although this possibility is extremely small, give it a try and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

He patted Gu Zhunian's shoulder, gestured with his hands, and the two of them moved to the bookshelf and bookcase, and turned over things with the help of the little moonlight coming through the window.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the bookstores were generally located on higher ground and used tall bookshelves and tall bookcases, which were transparent and dry.

In this library, on the bookshelves and bookcases, in addition to books, there are also antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

This library is very spacious, which facilitates air circulation. The collection of books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings is not too large, and they are all arranged in an orderly manner.

The movements of both of them were very small, and everything they turned over was placed exactly the same as before.

The items on the bookshelves and bookcases were quickly rummaged through by the two of them, and there was nothing suspicious about them.

Putting the book back to its original place, Chen Tianhua looked at a sandalwood cabinet in the corner and cooed at Gu Zhunian.

The door of the cabinet is also double-opening and has a copper double bottle lock.

Gu Zhunian walked to the cabinet, took out a short blade and a dagger, and started playing with them.

However, this time he failed.

He fiddled with it for a long time, but still couldn't open the lock, and he was so anxious that a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Chen Tianhua, who had been watching with cold eyes, frowned and thought to himself: It seems that the master will have to take action this time.

He smiled and stepped forward to hold Gu Zhunian's shoulders, making him stop.

He had been staring at the lock and pondering it for a long time.

I saw him stretching out his vice-like fingers, grabbing the two bottles and breaking them hard.

"Pap..."

There was a slight crisp sound, the lock broke, and the doorway was pulled open.

Sheng Zhunian looked at the opened cabinet door and was dumbfounded, then realized that the so-called lock was just for decoration and was just for decoration.

Seeing Gu Zhunian's admiring gaze, Chen Tianhua smiled slyly and turned to look at the items in the camphor wood bookcase.

I saw that the cabinet was divided into two compartments, where books such as account books were placed. The upper compartment was relatively full, while the lower compartment was empty except for a few account books. The surface was finely made.

Chen Tianhua first took out the books on the lower floor and moved them to the window to take advantage of the moonlight to take a look at the contents inside.

The first few books were indeed account books, but when I turned to the last one, I discovered something strange. Most of the ones bound together in the middle were not accounts at all, but notebook-style transaction records and transaction vouchers, with the other party's surname and position attached.

identity, etc.

After only reading the first two or three pages, Chen Tianhua's expression suddenly became extremely cold.
Chapter completed!
