From Prisoner to Si Chen

"I see."

Mr. Stork murmured.

"It's no wonder that the Oak Gang didn't find the inheritance of the ancestors of the Lewis family. If you hadn't watched that movie, who would have thought that there is a secret laboratory under the scrapyard?"

Ji Lan was beside him, but his eyelids twitched under his mask.

‘Did the alchemist Sabotei die in his own underground laboratory? ! ’

He thought of the "well of fortune" and the "plague" currently prevalent in the poor areas, and then combined it with the lake in "The Black Lake" and the murderer who resurrected from the well.

At this moment, a terrifying guess slowly emerged in Jilan's heart.

Perhaps, then Chabert Louis is the same as Rembrandt Eddy...

Polluted water sources after death!

But there was one thing Jilan couldn't figure out.

If this is the case, how can we explain that the plague did not break out until now, even though Shabotai has been dead for so many years?

In this regard, Gillan only hoped that he had guessed wrong.

Otherwise, the plague in the poor areas may not be so easy to end, and even the rich areas will not be spared. At most, it is only a matter of time... By then, the entire Brak City will be shrouded in the influence of this mysterious force.

Of course, the time that Gilan traveled to this different world is still short, and it is not yet known whether this country has the means to deal with the mystery in this era.

In his opinion, there is most likely to be, otherwise how could the Bremen Empire have stood as the overlord of the continent for so many years.

Maybe I just don't have enough identity level, so I can't see it.

"Be careful, don't be discovered by people from the police station."

Ms. Lin Ge reminded.

Mr. Stork nodded, patted Gilan on the shoulder, and then raised his hand to indicate an alleyway ahead.

"Let's go this way and go around the alley to the back of the scrap station."

Immediately, the three of them crossed the street and entered the alley, carefully avoiding the sight of the armed police officers.

Not long after, they arrived at the foot of a long wall.

There are also many notices posted on the wall, most of which are propaganda posters praising the head of the empire, Caesar Geed, while a few are wanted notices and small advertisements.

Gilan glanced casually and found his wanted poster as expected.

What surprised him was that the wanted notice clearly stated:

"The suspect has been arrested."

Bang!

At this time, Mr. Stork had already climbed up the wall nimbly, and then turned back to pull up the injured Ms. Wood Pigeon.

Seeing this, Gillan had no choice but to attribute the wanted order to the fact that the police department had found a scapegoat to take the blame, and planned to get over it.

Immediately, he put down his thoughts, kicked on the wall, and climbed over easily.

The three of them climbed over the wall and landed in the courtyard of the office building.

Ji Lan looked at the familiar environment, but couldn't find a single figure. The surroundings were silent and there was only some garbage flying on the ground.

Further away, you can see discarded waste everywhere.

Scattered, messy.

"Fortunately, the plague broke out, and the Oak Gang that originally occupied the scrap yard fell apart. Many members of the gang died or escaped, and the rest were directly taken over by the Lewis family and resettled elsewhere."

Ms. Lin Ge looked around and said softly.

"Recently, another local gang, the Kuka Gang, planned to seize this territory... But not long after, more people died due to the plague, and they became afraid, and finally gave up here."

The lady said with a scoff.

She took out the investigation document, pulled off a photo on it, then looked at the surrounding environment and compared it with the photo.

"Not here." Ms. Lin Ge shook her head.

"Let's go check out the warehouse area next to it."

At this time, Gillan made a suggestion.

Ms. Lin Ge turned her head and looked a little confused.

"Mr. Snow Owl has lived in this neighborhood for a while and is quite familiar with this scrap yard."

Mr. Stork, who knew the details of Gilan, explained.

Ms. Lin Ge suddenly nodded.

She followed Gillan's suggestion, walked out of the courtyard, turned left, and went to the warehouse area next to it.

The three warehouses still stand in a concave shape. In the open-air courtyard, the tall hornbeam tree sways in the wind, and under the tree is the "wealth well".

However, there were dark red and black blood stains everywhere.

There were also many winemaking tools, utensils and oak barrels that were not taken away and were randomly discarded in the yard.

Ms. Lin Ge held up the photo and made a surprised sound:

"right here!"

In the photo, there is a hornbeam at the door of an old wooden apartment, and there is also the well water under the tree.

However, times have changed, and now the apartment has been transformed into three warehouses, and the hornbeams are much taller and more lush.

Mr. Stork and Gillan stepped forward, compared the photos, and found that this was indeed the case.

'Unexpectedly... the warehouse where I hid was actually the former site of the apartment where Shabotai once lived. ’

Ji Lan thought to herself, suddenly feeling a sense of absurdity.

Soon, the absurdity in his heart turned into pleasure. The inheritance of the ancestors of the Lewis family, Layton's old and immortal piece of shit, would never be available to him in this life.

He couldn't help but sneer secretly.

"There are three warehouses here. Let's search separately to see if we can find the entrance to the basement."

Ms. Lin Ge said, and then said slightly worriedly:

"I was afraid that when the warehouse was rebuilt, the foundation would be sealed with cement."

The three of them did not have special tools on hand to cut through the cement. If it was sealed, they would naturally not be able to go down and get the alchemist's inheritance.

"Let's look for it first." Mr. Stork walked directly towards the warehouse on the right.

It was originally a place where the Oak Gang specialized in brewing wine.

Ms. Lin Ge shook her head and went to the warehouse in the middle, where raw materials were previously stored.

Ji Lan looked at the warehouse on the left and smiled.

After going around and around, I am back here again.

He strode open the warehouse door and walked in.

What came into view was an empty warehouse. All the miscellaneous art contraband had been moved away, leaving only some dirty white cloths thrown haphazardly on the ground.

However, this also facilitated Gillan's search.

If there is any secret door, it will be obvious at a glance.

He touched every corner and knocked on the wall, but after ten minutes, he still found nothing.

Seeing this, Gillan simply rubbed the sapphire ring on her middle finger.

An enchanting little figure sprang out, flapped its wings and came to Jilan's shoulder, smiling and saying:

"Master, do you need Weiwei to do anything for you?"

"Help me find out where the entrance to the basement is."

Jilan said to his familiar.

"Yes, Master." Weiwei quickly agreed.

Immediately, it drew a graceful arc and sank into the solid cement ground, as if it had fallen into an invisible pool of water.

Not long after, Weiwei poked her little head out from Jilan's feet, pointed to the foot of the wall in the corner of the warehouse and said:

"Master, there are steps connecting the open space. It is a wooden board covered with a thin layer of cement."

With that said, Weiwei flew to Jilan's shoulder and whispered in his ear:

"Weiwei also discovered that there is a secret door under the bed in the basement, which leads to a deeper secret room with many books and scrolls inside!"
