Omnipotent Mrs. Finn novel Chapter 391

Levi looked up and followed her line of sight upwards, immediately intending to see her point.

"You mean Grandpa hid something on the roof?"

Ruby's eyes did not stray, still bouncing around every corner of the roof, and her answer was crisp and clear.

"That's right, since in the message Grandpa gave pointed straight to the ancestral shrine, it's definitely here, and since there's nothing on the ground and there's no dark room, the only possibility is that it's up here, look, there are a lot of beams up here."

She raised her hand and pointed upwards, "Several of these beams are wide and thick."

This ancestral shrine, built a long time ago, had not been given a renovation over the years, so the architectural style and techniques were still of the same type as in the past, with an ancient atmosphere.

Supporting the roof of this ancestral hall were many crisscrossing beams, each of which was not short in width and some were even extra wide.

Levi’s eyes flickered slightly and he immediately thought of something: "You are thinking that Grandpa could have hidden something on the beam?"

Ruby nodded: "It could be on the beams, or ...... in the beams."

This latter statement left Levi stunned, and after a split second, he reacted, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"That's a possibility, these wide beams are still thick and look like a concealed compartment in themselves, it's possible that the door to the concealed compartment is on top of the beams."

Ruby smiled, "Yes, but people who come here generally confine their gaze to the ground where their eyes reach, and easily overlook the top, so it is possible, or rather, highly probable, that Grandfather took this into account and hid something above or inside the beams of the room."

She spoke with confidence, her eyes firm, clearly feeling that she was right in this deduction.

Levi looked into her clear eyes, the corners of his lips curled up in an appreciative smile, his expression dripping with pleasure.

"You are awesome that you can think of this."

Ruby blushed at his sudden compliment and raised her hand to slap him.

"You are still talking about nonsense, hurry up and think of a way to get to the beam."

Levi smiled, his shoulders shrugging, "Isn't that easy? Give me two chairs, with my height, it shouldn't be a problem."

Seeing him being smug at every opportunity, Ruby gave him a blank look and turned around to find him a chair.

But after looking around, there was only one chair here.

After thinking about it, she turned her head to the small table where the tripod stove was placed in front of the tablets, and after saying in her heart, "Excuse me, ancestors", she moved the tripod stove out of the way and moved it over.

Levi followed her and pointed to one of the thick beams, saying, "Let's look up here first."

As it turned out, there was nothing on it.

Undaunted, however, they went on to check the next one, and soon found a hidden door in the third thick beam.

"Well? Can you open it?"

Ruby was below and could not see what was going on above, when she saw Levi’s movements stop, she could not help but ask.

Levi shook his head and looked at the dust spread over the top of the concealed door, first taking out a handkerchief and wiping it, then said towards the bottom, "There is a lock on the door."
