Seeing the figures of Keir and Bai Mian getting further and further away, Luo Chen knew that he was faced with two choices at this moment.
One is to continue to search for clues about the map fragments hidden by Kil in the White Building, and the other is to give up the investigation here and instead follow Kil and Bai Mian.
Both options have their own pros and cons. The risk of investigating in Bailou is higher, and of course, you may get unexpected gains. It may be safer to follow Keir and Baimian instead, but it is also likely to return without success.
Luo Chen still believed that the map fragments would be here in Bailou.
After thinking for a while, Luo Chen decided to continue investigating in the white building.
But what surprised Luo Chen was that he saw Bai Mian and Kil stopped at the exit of the room, seemingly talking to someone.
Out of curiosity, Luo Chen changed his position, looked past Bai Mian and Kil, and saw the person who was talking to them, who turned out to be Fang Yi.
The expression on Fang Yi's face was not relaxed. He seemed to be talking about something serious with Kier and Bai Mian.
Luo Chen hoped that Fang Yi would notice him and find a way to send him a message so that he could help him keep an eye on Kiel.
Coincidentally, as soon as Luo Chen came up with this idea, he saw Fang Yi discovering him. However, in order not to reveal his identity, Fang Yi did not show any abnormality in his expression. Luo Chen stretched out his finger and pointed at Bai Mian and Ji Er.
, made a surveillance action.
Fang Yi covered his mouth with his hand, made a coughing gesture, and nodded to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen no longer had any worries. He took Xu Xu and left from the side door of the exhibition hall, preparing to go to the place where Keir and Bai Mian had gone together by chance in the morning.
There were not many people in the white building. Walking down the corridor, Luo Chen only occasionally saw a few servants from the manor.
Xu Shu asked Luo Chen curiously.
"Luo Chen, what exactly do you want to do?"
Luo Chen glanced at Xu Chen and had no intention of answering her. He just told Xu Chen with his eyes not to meddle in her own business.
Seeing Luo Chen's attitude, Xu Chen wisely closed her mouth and followed Luo Chen.
The internal structure of the White Building is very complex, and the huge exhibition hall is on the side of the first floor of the White Building.
When Luo Chen was in the courtyard in the morning, he noticed Kil and Bai Mian. They went to the right side of the exhibition hall, where he is now, and stayed for a long time. Finally, they came back from here, a corridor leading to the courtyard.
, inform all visitors to the manor to attend the luncheon.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Chen is very suspicious of this area.
However, facing the corridors extending in all directions and the various halls and rooms on the first floor, Luo Chen was like a headless fly. He didn't know where to start, so he could only wander around based on his feeling.
There were more or less people in most rooms and halls. Luo Chen felt that this was not a place that Kiel valued, otherwise outsiders would not be allowed to come here.
After walking along the corridor for a while, Luo Chen heard Xu Chen ask himself.
"Luo Chen, are you looking for Kil's treasure house?"
Luo Chen stopped, looked at Xu Chen curiously, and asked her doubtfully.
"Kiel's treasure trove? What is that?"
Xu Xu said in surprise.
"Don't you know?"
Luo Chen shook his head.
Xu Xu said oh and closed his mouth with a smile, as if he was not ready to continue talking.
However, Luo Chen's curiosity had been piqued, and he asked Xu Xu.
"Tell me."
Xu Xu pretended to hesitate for a while, and finally told Luo Chen.
"How much do you know about Keir?"
Luo Chen shook his head again. If he hadn't accompanied Yu Wenjie to look for map fragments this time, he wouldn't have even known that there was a person like Kiel in England.
Xu Xu told Luo Chen.
"Kiel is a man of great financial acumen, but he is too greedy for money. In the more than ten years since he became famous, he has used many fair and dirty methods to snare many treasures in the world.
Keel hid all these treasures in an underground secret room that he carefully prepared. He called that underground secret room his treasure house. At the auction held every year in the manor, Keel would take some of the treasures in the treasure house.
Come out and sell it at auction."
Luo Chen seemed to realize something and quickly asked.
"So powerful? Where is his secret room?"
Xu Xu pretended to be mysterious and glanced around.
"Inside this white building, I heard that there is a secret passage in Kiel's study. Under that secret passage is his underground secret room."
After Luo Chen listened, he looked at Xu Chen with interest for a while. He was a little curious about how she knew so much, but he didn't ask.
"Interesting, I would like to see it."
Xu Chen said with a smile.
"You really came here for Kiel's treasure house, right? I knew it, otherwise why would you be sneaking around here?"
Luo Chen didn't want to continue arguing with Xu Chen, but since Xu Chen mentioned that Kiel's treasure house, maybe the map fragments were hidden there by Kiel. However, looking at the intricate road in front of him, Luo Chen was at a loss.
I didn’t know where Keel’s study was, so I asked Xu Xu.
"Do you know where Keel's study is?"
Seeing Xu Chen nodding, Luo Chen asked her to take him there.
Xu Chen readily agreed.
"Follow me."
Under the guidance of Xu Xu, Luo Chen walked through several forked roads. Gradually, Luo Chen noticed that the surrounding environment had undergone some changes. It seemed that it was because of going deep inside the white building. It was not like the place near the outside before.
, there are many doors and windows, and the lighting is excellent.
Everything we walked here was sealed, with no windows or rooms. The environment was slightly dark. There were ancient lampstands hanging on the white walls around him, but no candles were lit inside. Luo Chen couldn't see the shadow of other people.
, only the footsteps of him and Xu Xu could be heard softly in the surroundings, and there was a sense of gloom and weirdness in the old castle.
In this bad situation, Luo Chen couldn't help but become more alert. He vaguely felt that this place was different from the previous place.
"Turn left at the corner ahead and you'll find Kiel's study."
Xu Xu pointed ahead, and Luo Chen saw that there was indeed a corner at the end of the corridor. The light from the corner was much brighter than the one where it was now.
Luo Chen carefully felt the situation around him, and after making sure that no one was there, he and Xu Xu continued to walk forward.
After walking around the corner, Luo Chen saw that the scene in front of him was indeed much wider. The corridor was not as narrow and dark as before. There were many more rooms on both sides again. Through the windows, he could see the scenery outside and the courtyard.
.
"That's the room in front."
Xu Chen looked a little excited.
Luo Chen looked around and saw that this was obviously Kiel's private area. He couldn't help but wonder why he and Xu Xu were able to get in here with such unimpeded access.
The door of Keele's study is made of mahogany, and its shape is very elegant. You can feel at a glance that he attaches great importance to this room.
Standing in front of Kiel's study, Luo Chen hesitated whether to go in and take a look. (To be continued)
