Chapter 535 Finding the Imprisoned Person: Surprisingly Fast Response
Upon hearing Li Yuan's voice, the others quickly gathered around and came together to the wall.
Looking at that wall, which looked like it had been recently painted,
Ellis whispered to Li Yuan:
"Let me take a look; this place feels somewhat familiar."
Li Yuan nodded upon hearing this and made way for Iris.
He then whispered a few words to Lu beside him.
After listening to Li Yuan's instructions, Lu nodded gently.
His body vanished instantly in the basement.
Elizabeth approached the wall, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out her hand.
He reached out and touched the door, which was disguised as a wall.
Soon, on the left side of the 'wall', they found a slightly raised area.
"I found it! This must be the keyhole!"
Ellis cried out in surprise, then pounded the drum twice with force.
They carefully peeled off the paint around the keyhole, bit by bit.
Looking at the keyhole that was almost completely filled with paint, Ellis said angrily:
"That bastard Ghazal, he repainted the whole door!"
If there are really people inside, they are probably in grave danger!
Ellis anxiously touched the keyhole and said to Li Yuan:
"We still need a key; I roughly know where it is."
Wait for me, I'll be right back!
Seeing that Iris was about to leave, Li Yuan quickly grabbed her arm and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Ellis, I've already had someone go and get the keys for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu appeared beside Li Yuan.
Li Yuanchao nodded slightly and took the set of keys from Iris's father's uniform.
Li Yuan then handed the key to Iris and said softly:
"Elise, open the door."
This door holds a special meaning for Ellis.
Therefore, Li Yuan hoped that she would personally activate it.
Upon hearing this, Ellis nodded and slowly inserted the key into the keyhole.
For a moment, Ellis's expression was slightly dazed.
It seems that she had opened a door when she was young.
However, this memory is incomplete; Ellis can't remember it very clearly anymore.
The thought flashed through her mind quickly, and she didn't dwell on it for long.
Ellis used her strength again and slowly turned open the hidden door.
With a metallic scraping sound, the door to the secret room was slowly opened.
In the pitch-black, sealed room, no one uttered a cry for help.
However, a faint, foul odor wafted out.
Ellis frowned slightly, raised her flashlight, and went inside first.
Seeing this, Li Yuan gave Lu a wink, signaling her to stand guard at the door.
He then followed Ellis inside.
Li Yuan, who had just entered the secret room,
Instantly, the stale air inside made me feel like I was wearing a mask of pain.
He couldn't help but cover his nose and mutter to himself:
"My God, it stinks here."
Upon hearing this, Ellis, who was walking ahead, was about to speak when...
But suddenly he discovered that on the ground in front of him,
They actually left that whistle that the female ghost had taken away!
Ellis quickly picked up the whistle with a look of delight.
Just as the light from her flashlight inadvertently swept to the side,
Suddenly, a woman dressed in very thin clothes was discovered.
He was kneeling in the corner, his back to them!
At first, Ellis thought the other person was the female ghost who had stolen her whistle.
But just as she was about to ask...
She noticed that Li Yuan had already strode over to her.
At the same time, he was muttering to himself:
"It looks like it's true, she must be the woman who was trapped."
Iris was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He then glanced down at the whistle in his hand, a hint of doubt rising in his mind.
The female ghost appeared beside her several times.
Was it all so that he could rescue this poor woman?
Meanwhile, Speks, who had just made the call to the police,
Then they heard a series of urgent knocks on the door!
Speks paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Edward, who was controlling Ghazal.
He asked with some doubt:
"Did the police respond so quickly?"
Edward shrugged, looking completely bewildered, and said:
"Maybe it's because this place is close to the police station?"
That makes sense.
Specks raised an eyebrow at Edward, put away his phone, and slowly walked towards the door.
Click.
As the door was slowly pulled open...
Sure enough, a policeman appeared in front of Speks!
Specks stared at the police officer with slicked-back hair.
Somewhat unexpectedly, he said:
"My God, is the police station in Five Keys Town really this close to here?"
I just hung up the phone and you're already here.
Jade, who was standing in front of the door, was taken aback when he heard this, but he quickly realized what was going on.
Jade quickly changed his expression and explained to Speks with a smile:
No, the police station is far from here.
I just happened to be nearby, so I came straight over as soon as I got the call.
Upon hearing Jade's explanation, Speckston suddenly understood:
"Oh! I see!"
He nodded, stepped aside, and let Jade in:
"I'm so sorry to trouble you so late."
Speks smiled and pointed to Ghazal, who was tied up by Edward, and said:
"The suspect is here; we suspect he has imprisoned a woman."
Seeing this, Edward stood up and said to Jade, "I'll go and call them up."
As he spoke, Edward went outside the basement and shouted inside:
"Li Yuan, the police have arrived!"
At this moment, Li Yuan had just helped the extremely weak woman to the basement.
Upon hearing Edward's shout, Li Yuan was somewhat taken aback.
He then laughed and joked:
"This is truly surprising; the police responded so quickly, even at such a late hour."
As he spoke, Li Yuan called out to Edward.
Then he called to Tucker, and together they helped the weak woman slowly walk out of the basement.
Jade was standing at the basement door at this moment.
He solemnly took out his duty logbook.
They began taking statements from Edward and Specks.
He glanced at the two of them subtly and asked in a friendly tone:
"You two don't seem to be from around here, do you? I don't think I've seen you before."
Edward didn't think too much about it when he heard that.
Instead, he smiled and nodded, saying to the police officer:
"That's right, we just arrived today."
Standing to the side, Speks added:
"Elizabeth is my boss; she used to live here."
This house was once her home.
"Oh, I see. Maybe I even know your boss."
Having obtained the useful information, Jade chuckled and nodded.
However, a strange look flashed in his lowered eyes.
