"Meijia! Meijia!"

When Duanmu Huai returned to the second floor, he saw Shajuye anxiously knocking on the door, but it was to no avail. The door looked as heavy as a fire door and couldn't be opened. Moreover, Meijia's room was at the far east end, so she probably couldn't hear Shajuye's shouting at all.

Just then, Blondie arrived, panting, with Spicy Girl in tow.

"It's no good, Sankawa Granny isn't in the servants' room, and Ryōbu isn't here either. Seriously, at such a crucial moment, where have they all gone?"

"Maybe they are the murderers and have fled after committing the crime."

At this time, Social Man also walked over, speaking calmly, while Blondie frowned.

"Murderers? You think this is a murder case? Besides, where could they hide? I've practically searched every room here!"

"Maybe they're hiding inside here."

Social Man sneered, staring at the heavy door in front of him, while Blondie paused, then looked speechless.

"What good would it do them? Forget it, that's not important. How do we get in and find Meijia, that's what matters! There's only one key, and Sankawa Granny has it. I've searched just now and couldn't find Sankawa Granny, nor is Ryōbu here, now what?"

"How about calling the police?"

"There's no signal on the phone at all!"

"Then how about driving?"

"In this heavy rain, the roads are all flooded. You might as well tell me to sail a boat, it'd be faster!"

"Then sail a boat."

"Where would I find a boat? Are you kidding me! Do you want me to kill you?"

Seeing Social Man's indifferent attitude, Blondie was furious and grabbed Social Man, ready to take action. However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai stepped forward.

"No need for such trouble, I have a simpler way."

"Eh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai speak, everyone present was stunned. Then they watched as Duanmu Huai took off his coat and handed it to Shajuye before walking to the door. Seeing this, Social Man sneered.

"You don't plan on just breaking down this door, do you? It's useless. This door is made of steel, even explosives would have a hard time blowing it open!"

Duanmu Huai was indifferent to Social Man's words, he just turned his head and said to Shajuye and Blondie.

"Cover your ears."

Shajuye obediently complied, and although Blondie and his Spicy Girl girlfriend were puzzled, they also covered their ears. Only the guy with glasses looked bewildered at Duanmu Huai, and Social Man did not hide his disdain.

"How stupid, no matter how confident you are in your strength, you can't possibly...…"

However, before Social Man could finish his sentence, Duanmu Huai raised his right hand, the muscles in his arm bulged, and then he clenched his fist and slammed it at the iron door in front of him!

"Boom———!"

A sound like a bell clanging exploded, causing Shajuye, Blondie, and the others who had covered their ears to tremble all over. The guy with glasses and Social Man, who had not covered their ears, felt as though their chest was struck by a heavy hammer, gasping for air, almost fainting. They stumbled back, covering their ears. The big dog beside Social Man was so scared it curled up on the ground, trembling and not daring to move.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai threw another punch.

"Boom——————!"

After two punches, everyone was horrified to see a huge dent appear in the massive iron door that was dozens of centimeters thick!

Then, Duanmu Huai landed a third punch!

"Bang———————!"

This time, the dented steel door was finally pierced with a huge hole by Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai reached into the hole and grabbed the edges.

"Creak—————!"

With a sound that grated on the nerves, the door, as thick as several dozen centimeters, was directly torn open by Duanmu Huai as if it were a piece of parchment! Without looking back, Duanmu Huai walked straight in!

Witnessing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They stared at Duanmu Huai's back in shock, and Shajuye was the first to react, hastily following him while hugging the coat.

"Hey, you...…"

Seeing Shajuye go inside, Blondie was startled too, but he scratched his head and spoke to Spicy Girl beside him.

"Wait here for me."

After saying this, Blondie also entered through the opening. He reached out and pinched the ripped steel edges... He inhaled sharply, then hurriedly followed along.

The entire east corridor was pitch black, and it was unclear where the switch was. Duanmu Huai didn't bother to look; he just raised his phone as a flashlight and quickly walked toward the end. At that moment, Shajuye and Blondie also arrived behind him, both showing uneasy expressions. After all, the sound of Duanmu Huai punching the door was so loud, even if Meijia was in her room, she should have heard it.

But it was still quiet here... Could something have happened to Meijia?

"Meijia! Meijia! It's me! Shajuye, can you hear me?"

Unable to resist, Shajuye called out Meijia's name, but still received no response. At this point, the three of them arrived at the doorway of the guest room at the east corridor's end. From the outside, it didn't look different from any other guest room. Duanmu Huai reached out to try and open the door — unsurprisingly, it was locked from the inside.
