Chapter 285

They carefully began to talk to the family members, trying to find the suspect.

"I want to ask some questions, please answer patiently." Zhu Wen showed caution and calmness in front of every family member.

Each answer became a new clue, making their suspicion more firm.

As the investigation progressed, the clues became clearer and the truth was getting closer and closer to them.

Finally, Zhu Wen found a key clue in the answer of an old family member.

"You said too much." The old family member suddenly sneered, revealing a sinister expression.

"You are... the black hand behind the scenes!" Zhu Wen asked sternly.

The old family member smiled more obviously, "You can't change this situation, I'm prepared."

Suddenly, the door was locked, and everyone found themselves trapped in this strange and gloomy room.

"It seems that we have fallen into the trap of the traitor." Han Zhu said frustratedly.

"We can't just sit there and wait, we have to find a way to get out of here." Zhang Hui reminded.

Everyone looked for an exit, but the walls of the room were all thick stone walls, and there seemed to be no gaps.

Zhu Quanyu frowned, and suddenly thought of something. "The floor here... can be moved!" He hurriedly began to look for a mechanism on the floor.

Zhu Wen, Han Zhu and Zhang Hui joined the search, hoping to find clues to trigger the method of liberation.

Finally, when Zhu Wen's hand touched a button, the floor made a low creaking sound and slowly separated to both sides.

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they hurried through the basement and escaped from the predicament.

"We are finally out!" Han Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and joy filled her voice.

Zhu Wen held Han Zhu's hand tightly and said gratefully: "It is because you believe in me and support me that we can overcome difficulties."

Everyone regrouped and returned to the surface of Bianzhou City again.

Zhu Wen put on a black cloak, and Zhang Hui took out a computer and began to track the whereabouts of the mastermind.

"His whereabouts are so secretive that I can hardly find any clues." Zhang Hui frowned.

Zhu Quanyu stared at the sky in the distance and said, "We can't give up. We must find a way to uncover the true face of the mastermind."

Han Zhu stepped forward, holding an exquisite dagger, and said with determination: "We can start from other angles and find the loopholes of the mastermind."

Everyone nodded silently, always keeping alert.

Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of them.

The car door opened, and a mysterious and tall figure walked out.

"It's Kirishima!" Zhu Wen recognized him.

Kirishima walked up to them, smiled, and said mysteriously: "You did a good job, but to uncover the truth of the mastermind behind the scenes, more efforts are needed."

Everyone looked at him expectantly.

“I have masteredSome key information may help you. "Kirishima handed Zhu Wen a scroll.

Zhu Wen unfolded the scroll, on which was drawn a complex palace map.

"Is this... the palace?" Zhu Wen asked in astonishment.

Kirishima nodded, "Yes, you will find the key clues and answers."

Zhu Wen held the scroll tightly and made up his mind: "We will go to the palace immediately and find the truth there!"

Everyone embarked on the journey to the palace, full of anxiety and expectation.

The interior of the palace is majestic and magnificent, with tight defense lines and guards everywhere.

"How do we get in?" Zhang Hui looked at the towering walls and felt a little powerless.

Zhu Quanyu thought for a moment, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "I have a plan. ”

Everyone listened to his plan quietly, and their faces gradually regained confidence.

When night fell, they executed the plan and sneaked into the palace disguised as palace guards.

"Be careful not to arouse suspicion. We must try to keep a low profile." Zhu Wen whispered.

Everyone walked carefully inside the palace, waiting for clues.

At the end of the corridor, an alarm suddenly sounded.

"Someone broke into the palace! Catch them!" The palace guards went out and started searching.

Everyone did not dare to be careless, and tried their best to avoid the patrolling guards and look for the next hiding place.

Finally, they entered a secret room deep in the palace.

The secret room was empty, with only an ancient and gorgeous jade bed.

"This room is completely different from other places, and may hide important clues. "Han Zhu looked around carefully.

A strong light flashed in the room, attracting everyone's attention.

They walked to the bed and found a bright gem inlaid at the foot of the bed.

"This gem... is the key to the suspense! "Zhang Hui opened her eyes wide.

Zhu Wen carefully took off the gemstone. Suddenly, the mechanism under the bed was triggered and the bed board slowly rose.

Everyone showed an excited expression. They followed the bed board into a hidden secret passage.

The secret passage twisted and turned, stretching into the unknown depths.

As they moved forward, they gradually heard whispers coming from a room.

"We are almost there..." Zhu Wen felt a chill behind him.

Finally, they came to the exit leading to the room and peeked at the situation inside from a hidden place.

The room was filled with various cultural relics and precious artworks.

In the center of one of the display cabinets, there was a dazzling sword of the king.

"That sword may be the key to the truth. "Zhu Quanyu's eyes were fixed on the sword.

Everyone stared at the sword of the king, their hearts full of expectation and tension.

"This sword may be the key to the truth, we must get it." Zhu Wen took a deep breath and made a decision.

They carefully broke into the interior of the display cabinet, bypassing the laser net,The arm reached out and gently touched the sword.

Suddenly, all the lights in the room went out, leaving only a faint light in the darkness.

"Who is it?" A gloomy voice echoed in the room.

"We are here to uncover the truth." Zhu Quanyu responded firmly.

Soon after, the lights in the room came back on. A figure gradually emerged and stood in front of them.

"You are here for the sword." The mysterious figure said indifferently.

"Are you the guardian of the palace?" Zhang Hui asked in surprise.

The mysterious figure nodded, "Yes, I am the last guardian of this sword."

Han Zhu stared at him and asked, "So, do you know the secret of this sword?"

The mysterious figure smiled slightly: "This is the sword of the king, the legendary spiritual treasure, related to dragon scales."

Everyone was shocked, they knew the legend of dragon scales well.

"Only in rare cases can the blade absorb the power of the dragon and reveal the hidden truth." The mysterious figure continued.

Zhu Wen held the King's Sword tightly and felt the powerful breath emanating from the sword.

"So, how do we activate the power of the sword and uncover the truth of all this?" Zhu Wen asked.

The mysterious figure looked at them and said solemnly: "You must find the precious treasure called 'Dragon Heart', which is the key to awakening the sword power."

Everyone felt a little powerless. It is not an easy task to find the precious treasure.

"Guardian, please tell us the clue of 'Dragon Heart'." Zhang Hui asked.

The mysterious figure thought for a moment, then slowly said: "In the past history, there is a legend about a forgotten mysterious dragon cave. Perhaps 'Dragon Heart' is there."
