Chapter 17 - 0017: The Tomb of the Righteous Rat Couple
"Based on my experience watching hundreds of period dramas, this ancient well is definitely not simple."
Lin Fan stood by the edge of the ancient well. Inside, it was overgrown with weeds and had been abandoned for years.
At first glance, it seemed perfectly normal.
But actually, there was a big problem.
The house was inhabited, yet the well was dry. When you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense. Where do they normally get their water?
Do they fetch water from elsewhere?
That would be going out of their way—the slightest bit of common sense would tell anyone this is unlikely.
"Hmph, no matter how deeply you hide something, thinking you can evade my meticulous observational skills is simply wishful thinking!" Lin Fan remarked smugly, as he touched the edge of the well with his fingers. It was very dry. When he pressed against the inner wall, it felt slightly damp.
This was enough to prove.
The well wasn't lacking a water source—it had been deliberately sealed shut by someone.
Why seal a perfectly functional old well?
