Chapter 137 Rain Flower Stones

Although Wang Dahu found traces of the little girl near that tree, she disappeared after that. The directions were all very confusing, and he had no idea which way to go.

It's normal that the directions are a bit chaotic, after all, a young girl studying here will inevitably pass through these places, and she has the air of a young girl, which is normal. In other words, their clues have gone cold again.

"Oh no, Captain, we've lost the commander's two little brats! Why didn't those two leave any clues when they left? We still don't know where they went. We'll find them." Li Shengli was a little worried.

"Old Li, I think the thing to worry about right now isn't that. We should be worried about whether those guys are carrying weapons. If they hurt the two little brats of the regimental commander, my God, I don't even want to think about the consequences." Chen Jianguo covered his face, he really didn't want to think about the consequences.

Their battalion commander guaranteed that those two little brats wouldn't get hurt.

"We're doomed..." Wang Dahu wanted to cover his face.

This is a painful slap in the face. They planned this mission for so long, and it's only been a week. The words they said back then have slapped them in the face like a bang.

“I don’t think you should be so pessimistic. It’s just that we can’t find it yet. You have to believe in Xiaozhu’s abilities. He wouldn’t just leave the group for no reason. We just haven’t searched carefully enough. If we search more carefully, we might be able to find the marks left by Xiaozhu.” Hong Yuanchao didn’t think that things had reached the point of no return.

Xiao Zhu is such a smart person, how could he possibly fight a battle he's not sure he can win? Or these people are underestimating him.

Afterwards, the group split up and searched for a while. Suddenly, Meng Dong seemed to step on something. When he lifted his foot to look, he found that it was the pebbles that Lu Qingzhu had been carrying in her pocket.

The pebbles that Xiaozhuzi planted all had markings on them; he was very arrogant and put the character "bamboo" on every single stone.

Meng Dong picked up the pebble from the ground, looked closely at the corner, and found that there really was a bamboo character on it. This meant that the brat was carrying a pebble, and they could find him by following the pebble.

"gather……"

Those who were searching for clues with their heads down immediately came over when they heard the call to assemble.

"Has the captain found any clues left by Xiaozhuzi?" Wang Dahu asked impatiently.

"Yes, as you all know, he's been collecting pretty pebbles, and as soon as he got them back, he somehow carved his own bamboo character on them. I just found a pebbles from one of these trees under the tree here. From now on, we'll carefully search for pebbles." Meng Dong instructed them to quickly spread out and search, but of course, they broadened the search area.

After all, it's just a stone, and there probably aren't many that you can carry around.

On the left side of the school's north gate, they found another pebble, indicating that they had exited from that side.

Meng Dong divided the team into three squads. One squad went to search along the direction of the pebbles, another squad searched the surrounding area for any trace of the little girl, and the last squad carefully observed the area around the school.

This observation led them to the little girl. The little girl was disguised so well that if they hadn't been experienced, they would never have noticed that there was a little girl hiding on the wall.

Meng Dong made a sound not far from the little girl to attract her attention. He Caiwei only noticed him after he made the noise. She gestured to him and pointed inside the house. Meng Dong understood and pointed to the three of them, telling her to come down from the wall first, while they would guard this side.

After He Caiwei climbed down from the wall, she exchanged some information with them. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she grabbed the wall and jumped into the courtyard.

Her actions startled Meng Dong and the others. This girl was too reckless; she jumped in without even saying goodbye. Look how scared the three of them were.

He Caiwei cautiously began her inspection from the woodshed, with Meng Dong protecting her, and Hong Yuanchao guarding the wall with a sniper rifle, ready to provide cover for the two of them at any time.

Li Shengli remained around the house, carefully keeping watch for them.

When He Caiwei entered the main room, she sensed that something was wrong. The room hadn't collapsed, but the situation wasn't good either. Many of the roof tiles were broken, and sunlight could be seen from several directions.

Inside the room was an eight-immortal table and several stools, all of which were somewhat faded. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the footprints disappeared near the eight-immortal table.

She had scanned the footprints before, but who was Bai Caiwei? Her senses were even more acute than Wang Dahu's, a member of the special forces. She could see even the faintest, tiny mark.

This impressed Meng Dong greatly. He really didn't know how the regimental commander's kids were trained; each one was more capable than the elites in their special forces.

He Caiwei pointed to the spot where he noticed something was wrong. Meng Dong looked at the spot he pointed to, walked over quietly, pulled a dagger from his shoe, pried it open along the gap, and found that it was indeed empty.

That means there could be a passage or a secret room down there, but we don't know where the mechanism is actually activated.

It's quite strange that this would be in such an abandoned house.

This house was only vacated a year ago. In the beginning, after the funeral arrangements for the two elderly people were made, people would occasionally come to see if there was anything they could take back with them. People would often appear in this house.

In such an obvious place as the main hall, if there really were a secret room or passage, it would be easy to find, so why would those people put it here?

Meng Dong didn't think there was a secret room down there. It was easy to see inside from a place without a door. What were they thinking in such a dangerous place?

The gaps in these wooden doors are quite large nowadays. If there's any noise in the main room, people passing by outside would probably be curious about what's going on inside.

He Caiwei gently stepped around and found that the ground was flat and there were no traps. Then she began to explore the items on the table and cabinet.

Suddenly, Meng Dong had a flash of inspiration and used his dagger to pry up the loose spot. Sure enough, there was a pull ring-like thing in the hollow of a brick.

He Caiwei and Meng Dong exchanged a glance; indeed, their perspective was still too narrow.

He Caiwei wanted to reach out and pull him, but Meng Dong stopped her. They didn't know if there was any danger down there, so they couldn't act rashly.
