Gu Hanhao let Li Wenzhong busy with his own affairs first, they went to Shao Hui's room to search around. Li Wenzhong obediently took out the key and opened Shao Hui's room.

  This is a suite, after entering the door, there is first a study room with a desk and bookshelves, inside is the bedroom, all items are neatly arranged, spotless, it seems that there is a servant who sweeps every day.

  Liu Fan started rummaging through the boxes, while Gu Hanhao sat aside and made a call to Yuan Jun, sending him the license plate number of the suspicious taxi for investigation.

  After hanging up the phone, he still sat in the chair without getting up, slowly looking around at his surroundings.

  Ling Lan had a clear understanding of herself, knowing that her identity couldn't be used to rummage through other people's things, so she sat down beside Gu Hanyu, "There's something I've been meaning to tell you but haven't had the chance."

  Gu Hanhao's attention was still in this room, and he didn't even look at Ling Lan beside him, only lightly uttering a word, "Speak."

  "The night before the explosion, that is, after Feng Jia and Yue Tong returned from the police station, Yue Tong had a conversation with me." Ling Lan bit her lip, unsure of how to start this conversation.

  Gu Hanhao didn't ask any questions, he just quietly waited.

  Ling Lan took a deep breath, "She said they really found the vampire, and indeed saw the man's face at the moment I bent down, it was a foreigner's face, blonde hair, deep eye sockets, red pupils, high nose bridge, two sharp fangs protruding out, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth!"

  "Is the culprit a foreigner?" Liu Fan interrupted, "Why didn't you say that earlier?"

  Facing Liu Fan's accusations, Ling Lan indignantly retorted, "What can I say? This is simply Yue Tong's nonsense. She and Feng Jia can see that I have some suspicions about them, so they made up this lie to deceive me."

  "What else did Yue Tong say?" Compared with Liu Fan's blame and Ling Lan's anger, Gu Hanhao was very calm.

  Yue Tong said she received a call from an unfamiliar number, which was Meng Yusi's. She said she was fine and didn't need to worry about her, that she was with him now and he wouldn't hurt her. But when I asked for the number, Yue Tong said she had deleted it. She also said that because Meng Yusi looked like a mixed-blood beauty, the vampire didn't take her as prey or food, and it's possible that he fell in love with Meng Yusi! Ling Lan recounted these ridiculous words with some embarrassment, "Of course I wouldn't believe such talk, so I didn't say anything."

  "It's simply maddening." Liu Fan sighed on the side.

  Gu Hanhao took out his mobile phone and dialed Yuan Jun's number again, "Check the call records of Yue Tong and Feng Jia's phones."

  "Do you really believe there's such a phone call?" Ling Lan asked, thinking it was just Yue Tong's nonsense.

  Gu Hanhao didn't respond. He hung up the phone and stood up, walking towards the photo wall by the bedroom door. His tone changed, "Rich people usually don't have a sense of security. They will put what they think is most precious in the safest safe, while things that can't be exposed to light are placed in a place where no one would expect."

  Ling Lan secretly thought to herself, Gu Han probably understood the wealthy so well because he was actually a descendant of a wealthy family. Perhaps in some corner of his or his father's house, there was an unexpected place hiding some unspeakable secrets that couldn't be seen by others.

  Liu Fan walked a few steps and stopped in front of the photo wall. "Are you saying he would hide something behind the photos? Isn't that too childish?"

  "It's not hidden behind the photo, but the photo indicates that something is hidden somewhere." Gu Hanhao pointed to a photo in the center of the wall.

  Ling Lan excitedly leaned in, scrutinizing every detail of this seemingly ordinary photo. She had always been confident in her own observational abilities, and this time she had already let Gu Han Hao see the clues first, so she couldn't let Liu Fan uncover the mystery before herself either.

  This looks like a very ordinary photo, Shao Hui is sitting sideways in the chair behind the desk, with both hands naturally placed on the desktop, his expression serene and his eyes filled with a smile, but his sleeves are rolled up unevenly, with one side high and the other low, and a few strands of hair on his forehead are slightly disheveled.

  Ten seconds later, Ling Lan said confidently: "It's obvious that this photo is different from other photos of Shao Wei. The difference lies in the fact that all his other photos were taken when he was well-prepared. As a wealthy and influential person, someone always takes pictures of him, even in his daily life at home, he always faces the camera with a perfect state and a standardized expression. But this one, was taken when he was unprepared, his cuffs are not neat, and his hair is a bit messy, it's clear that this photo was taken by someone who suddenly rushed in, and that person is his daughter. This can be inferred from the kindness and affection in his eyes. So, he, who has always pursued perfection, allowed such an imperfect self to appear on this perfect photo wall, because this photo is extremely precious to him."

  Gu Hanhao nodded in approval while smiling at Ling Lan, "Not bad, truly a little devil."

  Although Linglan didn't quite like Gu Hanhao's way of praising himself, seeing Liu Fan's stifled expression still made him feel slightly pleased with himself.

  "What's the big deal? Did you figure out the secret in the photo? Where did Shao Wei hide the invisible thing?" Liu Fan asked discontentedly, her tone like that of a young girl pouting.

  Ling Lan stuck out her tongue and shook her head, casting a conceding and inquiring gaze at Gu Hanyao.

  Gu Hanhao pointed to the knee of Shao Wei in the photo, "Although only a small part is shown, but if you look closely, Shao Wei's two knees are not on the same horizontal line, one is higher than the other. The higher knee is just under the drawer pulled out on the right side. Note this drawer, it's almost completely pulled out."

  "The furniture now is different from before, the drawers all have slides, even if you pull them to the end, they won't fall off.

How could it be that the furniture in this room is so high-end and customized, yet there's such a problem? Could it be that he stepped on something with his foot, causing the uneven effect?" asked Liu Fan.

  Gu Hanhao shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, he didn't step on anything, but intentionally lifted his foot to hold the drawer in place. Otherwise, the drawer would have fallen down. As for why the drawer would fall down, it's likely that Shao Hui pulled out the entire drawer before his daughter burst in with her camera, and in his haste to put it back, he didn't align it with the slide..."

  "It can also be stuffed into the inaccurate slide first." Ling Lan interrupted.

  "If it wasn't forced into the slide, the drawer would be crooked and could be seen from a certain angle by his daughter. And I think at that time, even if you wanted to force it in, it wouldn't work, because there was something inside blocking it." Gu Hanhao said as he walked to the desk, opened the unlocked drawer, and pulled it out with some effort.

  Ling Lan and Liu Fan also leaned over to look into that mysterious space, only to see the reddish-brown color of furniture. Ling Lan suddenly realized that this place where ordinary furniture was would not be painted, there must be a hidden door!

  Gu Hanhao reached in and felt around until he found a protruding part, and with a slight effort, opened the thin wooden door. A stack of white paper appeared before them.

  "It's likely that the secret door was open at the time, so the drawer couldn't be pushed back in. If he had reached in to close it, it would have only aroused his daughter's suspicion." Gu Hanhao spread out the stack of white paper, and suddenly his eyes lit up with scribbled words and numbers.

  "What is this?" Liu Fan leaned over and muttered as he looked at it, "Rooster, white rabbit, eagle, what are these?"

  "This is the account, Shao Hui's secret account." Gu Hanhao muttered to himself, and as for what this account was about, Gu Hanhao also had his own ideas. He stacked the white paper neatly again and handed it over to Liu Fan to keep, "Let's go back and see if there's any news from Yuan Jun's side. By the way, notify Xiao Zheng to come and take away Shao Hui's computer and all electronic devices for investigation."

  Ling Lan followed closely behind Gu Hanhao, asking, "Aren't we going to see Miss Shao? Li Wenzhen said she's at home."

  Gu Hanhao didn't even turn his head, "Autistic patients, what can they ask? Besides, don't scare the snake for now."

  Recalling how Gu Hanhao inferred where Shao Hui hid the invisible things through an inconspicuous photo, Ling Lan still feels a bit dazed. She has to admit that she underestimated Gu Hanhao's abilities. However, Ling Lan is unwilling to acknowledge that Gu Hanhao's inference was purely based on skill, as luck played too big of a role in it. Instead, she hopes for the day when Gu Hanhao's bold inference fails miserably in front of everyone, making a fool of himself. If she's present at that moment, she'll definitely capture the look of shock, embarrassment, and shame on Gu Hanhao's face with her phone or camera.
