Chapter 172: The Hideout

Shen Shouzhong and Xiaohui were both surprised when they heard this. Shen Shouzhong asked: "When did he leave?!"

Cheng Shi continued: "It was when you discovered that he was missing and sent people everywhere to look for him that he left here!"

Shen Shouzhong said with certainty: "This is impossible. After Xiaohui informed me that the young master was missing, I came here directly.

There is no hiding place in this room, how could he leave this place only after I evacuated the people!"

Shen Shouzhong paused and then said: "You don't mean to say that he is hiding behind the door and will leave after we leave, do you?"

Cheng Shi said with a smile: "How is this possible? How can such a trick be successful? There's not just one person watching here!"

Xiaohui did not untie the seal and said: "According to what you said, the young master left when we were looking for him, so where has the young master been hiding?

I am very familiar with this house. The only places where people can be hidden are under the bed and bookcases, but I have looked for them all and found nothing, so I went to find Butler Shen."

Cheng Shi did not speak, but closed his eyes and began to recall everything in the room, looking for any suspicious points.

In fact, Cheng Shi didn't know how Master Tan left. Unless all eight people were lying, how could there be no movement at all?

Therefore, he was very sure about the inference that Master Tan left without anyone noticing when everyone was looking for him.

After thinking about it, Cheng Shi opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Very good, I have already figured out where he was hiding at that time.

Now I would like to ask you two to go out first. When I ask you two to come in, you two will come in again. When you go out, please close the door!"

The two of them were confused by Cheng Shi's words, but Shen Shouzhong took Xiaohui out of the room and closed the door.

After the two waited for a while, they heard a dull voice coming from inside: "Come in and see if you can find me."

The two then pushed the door open and went in, only to find that Cheng Shi was not in the room, and that the room had not changed at all compared to before.

Shen Shouzhong stood at the door, and with a thought in his mind, he said, "Just follow the method you used to find the young master, and look for him again!"

After hearing this, Xiaohui started to look for her, while Shen Shouzhong stood at the door, looking around without taking a step.

He looked in all directions, even the beams above his head. However, after Xiaohui's search was completed, the two of them still did not find Cheng Shi.

Xiaohui walked back to Shen Shouzhong and said: "Butler Shen, when the young master disappeared, this is how I looked for him.

But I didn’t notice it at all. Look, that person has left this room, otherwise, there is really no hiding place!”

Shen Shouzhong nodded in agreement. He also trusted his eyes. After all, he just stood here motionless and looked around.

He was afraid that the other party would change his hiding place and avoid Xiaohui's search alone, but he found nothing.

Moreover, he had even seen the roof, because it was on the first floor and the beams were only as thick as a thigh, so it was impossible to hide people.

Only then did he agree. Xiaohui asked if Cheng Shi had already left the room, but at this time.

Cheng Shi's voice came out again: "I didn't leave, I'm still in the room!"

The two of them were startled when they heard this, and then they looked in the direction of the sound, but they saw nothing.

Both of them were a little frightened at this time. Shen Shouzhong was okay, so he said bravely: "Agent Cheng, where are you?!"

Cheng Shi's voice came out again: "I'm right in front of you, can't you see it?"

Shen Shouzhong was already sure that the sound was coming from the other side of the bed, but he didn't see anything anywhere.

He quickly ran over, lay down under the bed, and looked down, but there was still nothing. Then he said with sweating profusely.

"Agent Cheng, where are you hiding? Why can I only hear your voice but not see your person!"

Just after Shen Shouzhong finished speaking, he heard Xiao Hui's surprised voice: "Ah! It turns out that the young master was hiding here yesterday!"

Shen Shouzhong stood up and found Cheng Shi sitting on the young master's bed. Shen Shouzhong was surprised and said quickly.

"Where did Agent Cheng hide just now? Why couldn't I see you, but you suddenly appeared on the young master's bed?!"

Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "I was on the bed just now, but you couldn't see it. If you don't believe me, just ask Xiaohui!"

Shen Shouzhong then looked at Xiaohui beside him and said, "What on earth is going on?!"

Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, then said: "I don't know either, I just saw the bed move and Agent Cheng appeared on the bed."

Shen Shouzhong looked at Cheng Shi in surprise and then said, "What the hell is going on!"

One thing to mention here is that you may have seen the bed in the Republic of China in movies and TV dramas. It was a bed with a bed similar to a mosquito net.

The Tan family is a wealthy family, and the young master's bed is not really a child's bed, but a bed that an adult can lie down on.

There are round wooden sticks on all sides of the corner of the bed to form a small closed space. This is the shape of the bed.

Cheng Shi heard Shen Shouzhong's question and lay down on the bed again. He began to slowly pull up the silk thread in his hand.

Soon a flat bed appeared in front of Shen Shouzhong, because it was still winter and the bed was very thick.

Cheng Shi was lying on the innermost part of the bed. It turned out that he folded the bottom two layers of blankets in half and stacked them on top of each other.

Just create a hiding hole in the innermost part, cover his body with the first layer of bedding, and then use the silk thread in your hand to pull the bedding flat.

In this way, Cheng Shi disappeared on the bed. At first glance, apart from the flat bed, there was only a quilt that was lifted casually!

Shen Shouzhong opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, witnessing all this, he could not say a word now.

Cheng Shi then opened his bed again and walked out, saying, "But now Butler Shen understands, when you are looking for the young master.

He has been hiding here, and if you don't pay attention, he will change into your servant's clothes and leave here easily!"

After hearing this, Shen Shouzhong came back to his senses, sighed and said, "Although this method of hiding is simple.

But even if I try hard, I can’t figure it out, and how did Agent Cheng discover this young master’s hiding technique?!”

Cheng Shi continued: "Before I came in, I assumed that what your men said was true, and that Master Tan had been hiding in the room.

But there were not many hiding places in the room. When I came in, I thought Master Tan was hiding on the top of the bed.

Then I discovered that firstly, he couldn't reach the four corners of the bed, and secondly, even a young man like him probably didn't have that strength."
