Chapter 1437 The Secret of the Chamber of Secrets 3.0
"Grandpa, boss, come and see!"

Ying Wu and Mei Zhu had just moved a box of gold when they discovered something was wrong, and they called Shen Haolin and Shen Cha to come over and have a look.

"This is..." Shen Cha saw that the box was only half filled with gold, and the other half seemed to be a shadow box made from the body of the box. The opening of the box faced the top and was locked with a small lock.

"Look, am I right?"

"Yes." Shen Cha turned to look at Shen Haolin, and chuckled, "Brother guessed right, it's really not as simple as gold."

"What... what do you mean?" Ying Wu looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "Have you all guessed that there is something tricky in it?"

"En!" Shen Cha nodded, "Even if the origin of the gold is unknown, it is more dangerous to put it here than to spend it, if Uncle Xue doesn't want anyone to know. So, since he put it here, it means that the gold There is a reason why it has to be here, it has a function of its own."

"Gold is used as a cover, and the shadow box under the gold is what really needs to be kept secret." Shen Haolin picked up a piece of gold and weighed it, frowned slightly, picked up another one, and frowned even tighter. "Look at these two."

Shen Cha took the two pieces of gold, weighed them in his hand, tilted his head, put down the obviously lighter piece in his left hand, picked up another piece, put it down again, and took it again. Weighed all the gold in the chest.

"how?"

"These two pieces..." Shen Cha looked at the gold in her hand, one was kept in her right hand all the time, and the other was selected by her from that box of gold. "The weight is the same, but it's different from the others, a little heavier than them."

"That's right, any other discoveries?"

"Judging from the feel, these two pieces don't actually look like gold, they're a bit like...well, bricks or something." Shen Cha thought for a while, then handed the two pieces of gold to Shen Haolin, "Brother, try. "

Shen Haolin tried it in his hand, nodded towards Shen Cha, put down one of them, and carefully observed the appearance of the fake gold in his hand.

"This..." He frowned slightly, and rubbed his fingers vigorously on the gold twice, "It feels like a layer of gold has been plated on the outside, but it's not gold leaf, it's a different method. But what method is it?" , not too good to say."

"Open it and have a look." Shen Cha stretched out his hand towards Ying Wuyi, took the small hammer he handed over, put the gold on the ground, and hit it lightly twice, creating a crack, picked it up and shook it After clicking twice, "There seems to be something inside."

"Boss, I'm coming!"

Ying Wu took a thin, flat shovel, inserted the shovel into the crack, pried it with a little force, and heard a "ding dong", and a small key fell to the ground.

Shen Cha picked up the key, compared it with the little golden lock inside the box, and shook his head lightly.

"No? That is to say, there is more than one such cassette." Ying Wu thought for a while, and showed Shen Haolin and Shen Cha the gold that had been pried in half. This kind of technique is also very common. It is usually used to shape Buddha statues in temples. Some believers don’t always make wishes. If the Buddha blesses them, do they reshape the golden body or something? This thing is used to reshape the golden body of."

"The others are real gold, only these two are fake."

Shen Cha picked up the hammer and knocked open another fake gold. Not surprisingly, there was still a key inside.She inserted the key into the small lock, but it couldn't be opened.

"Still not good?" Shen Haolin looked at the small lock, then at the two keys, "Put it aside first, and then look at the others."

Shen Cha nodded, she asked Ying Wu and Mei Zhu to stand aside, and personally went through the remaining gold in the box one by one in her hands, piled up the real gold and put all the fake ones filled with mud They were all picked out.

The whole process took about half an hour, and when all the gold was placed, several people sighed softly.

"Looks like this, it's not as scary as before, is it?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin helplessly, "Who would have thought that half of the gold is fake filled with mud?"

"What's fake?" Xue Ruitian heard the word "gold", his eyes lit up, and he rushed over, but when he saw the two piles of gold, which were obviously very different, he was stunned, "This What is it? What does it mean?"

"It means that the only ones you can use outside are here." Shen Cha pointed to the pile on the left, and then pointed to the pile on the right, "And the ones here are just ready to be smashed later." It's open."

"Looking at it this way, it's far less spectacular than just now." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "If you know that there is only such a little gold in so many boxes, it won't be so embarrassing." He sighed softly, " But what is this fake gold used for?"

"There are things inside, we only broke open two, and dropped two keys, but we don't know what they opened." Shen Cha smiled at Xue Ruitian, "There are so many fake golds, we can't break them , Brother Xiaotian, do you want to help me?"

"Of course, I'll come and see how the beaked duck flew away!" Xue Ruitian ran to Jin Miaomiao to get a small hammer, ran back and sat down, and brought a fake one with great interest, bang bang bang bang He knocked twice, and when the gold broke, a third key was revealed. "Another key?" He picked it up and looked at it, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "This... I'm a little too strong, and the key is a little bent."

"It's okay, just hit it back." Shen Cha smiled, "Next time, you should be more careful and don't make any more bends."

Xue Ruitian nodded, and the strength of the next one was a little weaker, and he took out a complete small key smoothly.

When all the fake gold was smashed, everyone looked at the seventy or eighty keys piled on the ground, and sighed in unison.

"What on earth is father going to do?" Xue Ruitian looked helpless, "How do you do this thing? Try one by one?"

"Did you find the box with the lock over there?" Shen Haolin looked at Jin Miaomiao and Jin Jing who were still rummaging through the bookcase, "If you find everything over there, put it together with ours , to see if there are enough keys."

"There should be a lot of keys." Shen Cha rubbed his chin, looked at the bookcase on the west side, "I think..."

"what?"

"Some of the keys should belong to that door."
