Situ Shuangshuang, Zhu Yanhua, and her parents analyzed the situation and felt that the basement must have been built beneath Wang Zhonghai's house, allowing him easy access to the girls he kept locked in there.
To ensure no alarm was raised, Situ Shuangshuang decided to go herself at night to see if she could find the entrance to the basement!
Wang Zhonghai's room was built very large, with a big warehouse at the back for storing fruits, and a small warehouse for storing grains and coals.
There were no women in Wang Zhonghai's house, so the pigsties and chicken coops usually found in rural homes were empty, filled with odds and ends.
Situ Shuangshuang first wandered around outside, as expected, she didn't find any basement entrance, but did come across a cellar for storing vegetables.
