Chapter 589: Did you Step on Dog Poop Today?
Reaching her hands out towards HK, she asked “Give me the Blueprint”
Opening the blueprint of the villa on his cellphone, HK immediately passed it to Sia.
After a brief look, Sia pointed at one area and said “This place doesn’t look right. Let’s check this place”
“This is…. The servant room I guess? But we did not find them anywhere there” HK responded.
“Let’s check it out first,” Sia said before marching towards the villa.
Not long after, Sia and HK arrived at the location. One look and Sia immediately found the problem. “The size of the room doesn’t seem right. According to the blueprint, the size of this room should be much bigger” Sia analyzed. Scanning the room, she suddenly pointed at the cupboard and said “Move that Cupboard”
Turning to the two officers following behind, HK motioned with his chin.
As soon as the two officers moved the cupboard, they saw a door behind it. Walking forward, as Sia pushed the door open, she saw another space inside which seemed to be the extended area of the servant room. Inside the room, a few bodyguards were tied up and lying on the floor motionless.
Peeking his head from behind, HK asked “So they were here? But why were they locked up in such a hidden space?”
Walking forward, Sia checked the pulse of a few and said “They are alive. But just
unconscious. Send them to the hospital, they must have been given some coma-inducing drugs to make them fall into deep sleep”
Standing up, Sia turned to look at HK and responded “Because they did want to take a chance. Just in case if the bodyguard woke up, and if in case they were powerful enough, these bodyguards could pose a threat to the hijackers. Also, the door can only be opened from the outside but not from the inside. The only way to open it from inside is by using some control mechanism”
“But why would the villa need such a mechanism? Especially for the servant’s room?” HK asked looking bewildered
“This villa doesn’t seem to be as simple as it looks. It’s reasonable if the hijackers were able to locate the hidden cameras too, but it doesn’t seem reasonable for them knowing of such secret rooms. These hijackers must have someone behind and this person should be very familiar with the house and should be very close to the owner itself” After a pause, Sia continued “I have a very bad feeling about this room”
“Hmm? But I don’t see anything wrong with this room other than that secret mechanism” HK said while looking around the room.
For some unknown reason, Sia’s heart was suddenly beating very wildly, as if something bad was about to home. She had a very bad feeling, a bad omen that made her feel cold chills.
Suddenly, Sia looked at the room very carefully. She looked at the bodyguards being carried away and then looked at the room carefully. Finding nothing amiss, she walked closer and looked at it closely. There was a pile of unwanted things placed around the room. Sia briefly looked at these things before her gaze finally stopped to look at the floor. It was a red point. Squatting down, as she looked closer, her brows suddenly creased. Reaching for her handkerchief, she suddenly rubbed the spot and looked at it again.
“There’s blood here” Sia commented and she suddenly leaned her head on the floor and looked below the gaps.
“Hey, it’s just a drop of blood. Someone must have gotten hurt when moving things that’s all. There’s no need to make such a big fuss for it right?” HK complained
Before HK could persuade Sia, She suddenly stood up and pointed at the table and painting and said “Move these things”
“Huh? Why do you want to move them? Shien, don’t you think you are being a little too sensitive?” HK asked in confusion
Too impatient to listen to his banter, Sia glared at him and spoke coldly “Don’t make me say it again”
“Alright, Alright. I’ll get them to move the things immediately” Helpless, HK raised his arms in surrender before calling over another cop to help him move the things. Once all the tables and paintings were moved away she immediately picked up the thing lying down. It was an old doll that was the size of a palm. But what stunned them was the patch of blood on the doll.
“Ugh…. maybe a child belonging to one of the servants might have ended up getting injured and the doll must have absorbed its owner’s blood and then it was abandoned here?” HK analyzed with an awkward smile.
Looking at the doll in her hand with a frown, Sia replied indifferently “The only two servants looking after this villa are a middle-aged couple with no children. Where do you think a child came from? Also, seeing the doll’s condition, it doesn’t seem the child was hurt mildly, but we only found a drop of blood on the floor. Do you think this makes any sense?” “Uh…maybe they cleaned the blood off the floor after the incident?” HK reasoned
“Your reason is feasible but I still don’t find it right”
While leaning against the table, HK spoke languidly “Shien, my brother I seriously think you are being sensiti-clink” Just as he leaned against the table while speaking, HK’s arms moved carelessly and he ended up causing the vase to fall on the ground.
In horror, HK watched the vase fall on the floor and his eyes instinctively closed. But when he heard the sound, he looked down only to see the vase lying intact. Patting his chest in relief, HK exclaimed “damn, that scared me. I thought I just broke it. What if it was expensive? I would have become broke then”
Unlike HK who had a look of relief, Sia’s brow furrowed further. Ignoring HK’s banter, she said “No, this doesn’t seem right”
“Huh? What?”
Raising her foot, Sia suddenly stamped on the floor where the vase had just fallen “This sound”
“What’s wrong with the sound? Isn’t it the same?” HK said as he raised his foot and stamped on the floor but it sounded different from the sound made by Sia. “I guess it sounds different because of the difference in a person’s strength and wait. Let me check”
Moving over, HK raised his foot and stomped the place where the vase had fallen and was suddenly stunned. Raising his foot again, he stomped another place and suddenly turned to Sia “It does seem different” Taking his leg back, he asked with a frown “Do you think there is
something beneath?”
“There must be”
“Should we dig it then?” HK asked
Shaking her head, Sia responded “No, I think there seems to be a mechanism to open it. Look, the tiles of this area and the rest are the same and they also look a little old. So I guess there must be some mechanism to open this region”
“Huh, what mechanism could there be?” HK scorned as he leaned against the wall intending to take some rest. But the next moment he suddenly heard a click and the floor suddenly
seemed to move.
Stunned, HK watched the scene unfold in disbelief.
Looking down at the floor that suddenly opened, Sia turned to look at the stunned HK and asked him scornfully “Did you step on Dog Poop today?”
HK responded while still looking stupified “I Must have stepped on plenty of them today”
