Chapter 90 The Truth
Ji Jing snorted coldly: "The police have confirmed that my daughter has no traces of leaving here. What else did Mr. Xu go out to find? I believe my daughter is still in this family. So, I'm going to look for it carefully. β
The thin woman was secretly frightened, but pretended to be calm on the surface: "You and the police have searched this house inside and out. Now it is unreasonable to search. β
Ji Jing said awe-inspiringly: "As long as I can't find my daughter, I will keep looking for it." Don't say she's such a big person, even if it's a small bird, I can't let her disappear from my sight for no reason. β
The thin woman couldn't help but raise her eyebrows a few times, and then said with an indifferent look: "Okay, if you're not afraid of trouble, just find it yourself." I don't have the time to toss around with you. β
Ji Jing knew in her heart that if Nini was killed in this family, the woman in front of her would definitely be the culprit. If it hadn't been for Xu Zhenguo's obstruction yesterday, she would have almost strangled herself. This is enough to prove that she is ruthless.
She then smiled coldly: "I don't need you to accompany me, as long as you open all the doors here." I'll look for it slowly. β
After Ji Jing finished speaking, she was about to turn around and go upstairs...
"Ah... Auntie..." In front of the thin woman, Xinxin didn't dare to let Ji Jing out of her sight, and couldn't help grabbing the corner of her clothes.
Ji Jing looked down and saw that Xinxin looked pitiful, and her heart couldn't help but feel hot, and she immediately reached out and grabbed Xinxin's little wrist and said, "Xinxin accompanied Auntie to find her sister." β
At this time, the sad and helpless Ji Jing and Xinxin had a complex of solidarity and solidarity.
The slender woman looked at Ji Jing's back as she went upstairs, and couldn't help but shoot a vicious gaze.
Ji Jing started to search from the top attic in the order of yesterday's search...
She felt that yesterday, under the 'front and back attacks' of Xu Zhenguo and the slender woman, the search process was a little sloppy, like going through the motions. She searched this time in great detail. Not only did he not let go of a dead end, but he also knocked on the wall at times, as if he suspected that there was a dark room in this house.
By the time she had finished searching the attic and second floor, it had been more than an hour. She barely ate or drank yesterday. Now I have tossed for another half a day, and I have consumed a lot of physical strength. As she dragged down the second floor with heavy footsteps, she already felt like she was dizzy.
The slender woman looked a little nervous, and sat on the sofa in the living room all the time, not making breakfast. When Ji Jing walked down, she almost held her breath and watched Ji Jing's every move...
Ji Jing really couldn't walk anymore, and she wanted to sit down and catch her breath, but the miserable appearance of Nini in her dream made her unable to stop in peace. She knew that finding Nini was a big deal that could not be delayed for a moment, even though Nini had little chance of surviving.
Xinxin was also very tired, but she didn't want Ji Jing to get out of her sight, but also hoped to find Nini, so she insisted on accompanying Ji Jing to find it.
When Ji Jing turned to the storage room again, she found that the iron door was locked again, and she couldn't help but move, why did that woman seal this house so tightly?
Ji Jing thought about this, then turned to the living room again, and asked the thin woman, "Why are you still locked in that warehouse?" β
The slender woman defended, "Didn't you see it yesterday? It's black and full of rats, what else is there to check? β
Ji Jing recalled the uneasiness the woman had shown when she searched the house yesterday. Could it be that there is really a 'cat' in that house?
"Please stop rambling and open that door. I've checked the house. Ji said decisively.
When the slender woman saw Ji Jing's posture, she was secretly surprised. She knew that the more she delayed, the more suspicious the other party became. Her gloomy eyes blinked, and she finally got up to get the keys.
When the thin woman opened the storage room again, although she didn't follow in, she didn't leave, but hid outside the door, secretly watching Ji Jing who walked in.
Although Ji Jing turned on the light switch, it still looked yin inside. And this time, there are only two people, her and Xinxin, at least there is not even a man who can be brave.
Xinxin was a little scared and wanted to turn around and run out, but she didn't dare to face the situation outside the house alone. Ever since she was secretly attacked by a skinny woman, she no longer dared to be alone.
Ji Jing had already browsed through the antique-level tattered items inside yesterday, and now focused on the structure of this storage room. Although she was born in an ordinary peasant family. But her grandfather was a well-known craftsman. It also set up institutions in the homes of wealthy families who used to be wealthy. When Ji Jing was a child, she often sat on her grandfather's lap and listened to him tell her stories.
Her grandfather once told her that the rich people, in order to prevent attacks and robberies in their homes, hid valuable things in secret rooms, and if they entered such secret rooms, they had to crack the hidden mechanisms. Traps are often set up in a particular wall.
When Ji Jing came in for the first time yesterday, she found that this big house was different from the other rooms. Only it has not been renovated and retains the charm of an ancient building. Its walls are all stone bricks, and at intervals, there is a special ornament, which looks quite elegant. In Ji Jing's view, only the decoration of this storage room can match the architectural style outside.
Ji Jing is a layman in the placement of these ornaments, and only knows that they are related to feng shui. But she also knew that if there was a secret room in this slightly mysterious storage room, then the mechanism to open the secret room must be set up somewhere on the wall. She surveyed the walls around the perimeter of the walls, trying to find the moving stone bricks, especially the protruding ornaments.
When Ji Jing dragged her weak body to the south wall, she found that in the middle of the wall, there was a bronze mirror inlaid with it. It's a rare thing to have a bronze mirror in this storage room.
Ji Jing took a closer look at the bronze mirror and found that it was firmly embedded in the wall. Although it is a mirror, it is already covered with patina, and it cannot shine at all. Ji Jing secretly said in his heart, although this bronze mirror is very small, it is probably older than his father, and it can be regarded as a veritable antique. She curiously wiped the mirror with her little hands...
Bang!
There was a strange noise in the room, and the ground seemed to tremble. Ji Jing was startled, and quickly turned around to see that everything here was back to normal.
"Ah... AuntieΒ·Β·Β· It shook a little bit just now..." Xinxin, who had been following her, suddenly pointed to the brick floor in the middle.
Ji Jing's heartbeat suddenly intensified. Because she noticed yesterday that the floor of this storage room didn't match the surrounding environment. Everything else was dusty, but here the floor was spotless. Is there a mystery in the brick floor?
Ji Jing knew that this was the effect of touching the bronze mirror, so she put her hand on the mirror and kept adjusting her posture. When she finally put her palm on the convex surface of the bronze mirror, a miracle occurred...
Suddenly a piece of brick floor with an area of one square meter was sunken down, and they were like a single pedal. Then a hole opened up in the eyes of Ji Jing and Xinxin.
Xinxin was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. Ji Jing was surprised and delighted, there was indeed a secret room here.
She tentatively left the bronze mirror first, and found that the hole was not closed again, so she left the bronze mirror with confidence, and approached the hole step by step...
Ji Jing came to the entrance of the cave, and leaned over to look, through the light shining in from the outside, she found that there was a staircase leading directly from the hole to the inside.
Ji Jing had a premonition that her daughter was trapped in this at this time, so she took a step down desperately...
Xinxin was both curious and scared, so she just snuggled up to Ji Jing's side and accompanied her step by step.
Ji Jing looked at it, and the more he walked inside, the dimmer the light became. She immediately pulled out her phone and used it as a flashlight to illuminate it.
When she and Xinxin walked up the stairs tremblingly, they found another storage room underneath, but the things here were neatly arranged. Most of them are some porcelain and some calligraphy and paintings. The porcelain shone brightly in the dark chamber with the help of the light projected from outside.
Ji Jing suddenly understood that he had unintentionally found a treasure room, and those porcelain, calligraphy and paintings must be some priceless cultural relics. But where is her daughter?
Ji Jing's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she vigorously observed every corner of this secret room. Finally, a door came into her eyes.
Her heart moved, it turned out that there was a dark room next door to this secret room. She walked over and saw that the door was locked with a large lock.
What's in it and why is it locked?
Just when Ji Jing was at a loss, suddenly a figure reflected from the hole above. She hurriedly looked up and saw a thin woman walking down the steps step by step...
What frightened Ji Jing was that the slender woman held a long vice in her hand and glared at her with a murderous light.
"What are you going to do?" Ji Jing couldn't help but ask in the face of the slender woman who was pressing into her step by step.
A sneer came out of the thin woman's nostrils: "I really underestimated you, and you actually discovered this place." However, for any outsider here, as long as they come in, it is like burrowing into a grave. β
As soon as Ji Jing heard the eerie tone of the thin woman, she knew that she was going to die by herself. Her heart couldn't help but feel cold. Because she knew that she was currently so weak that she could not withstand the wind. Faced with the other party holding a murder weapon, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape.
She tried to keep herself calm at this time, and asked, "Since you want to kill me, is my daughter also poisoned by you?" β
"Hahaha, smart!" The slender woman looked up and laughed wildly, "Your daughter doesn't know whether she lives or dies, and she is against me everywhere." Then she will only die! β
When Ji Jing heard this, she was so grieved that she almost fainted. But barely holding on to his body, he questioned, "Where is my daughter now?" β
"Hahaha, she's far away, close at hand." The slender woman continued to laugh maniacally.
Ji Jing glanced at the entire secret room again, then pointed to the locked door and said, "Is she here?" β
The thin woman nodded, "Yes." But she's lucky, and now you and this little cub have more company for her. β
The 'little cub' referred to by the slender woman is Xinxin. Xinxin naturally understood, and couldn't help but hug Ji Jing's waist tightly in fright.
Ji Jing finally understood that her daughter had been killed. She had lost the motivation to live. But when she looked at Xinxin beside her, she couldn't help but plead with the thin woman: "Since I fell into your hands, I can do whatever I want to kill or scrape, but can you let this child go?" She's Mr. Xu's daughter. β
The thin woman sneered, "Your idea is so stupid. How can I leave her a curse? Although she had difficulty expressing herself, she understood everything in her heart. I have to cut the grass and eradicate it. β
Ji Jing felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help hugging Xinxin, who was trembling in his body, and then said in surprise: "If Mr. Xu finds out that his daughter is missing." How can I not doubt you? How can you explain it to him? β
The slender woman said proudly: "You don't need to worry about this. When Zhenguo returned home, he would find me with a head injury and had passed out at home. When he woke me up, I would tell him that you knocked me unconscious while I wasn't looking, and took the opportunity to kidnap Shin Shin. Even if he never finds you, I have reason to say that you and your daughter may have sold Shin Shin to the mountains, and sold those antiques, and have fled to the ends of the earth. He can only hate you in the end. β
Ji Jing was surprised: "Doesn't he know that there is a secret room here?" You put our corpse inside, aren't you afraid that he will find out? β
The slender woman said proudly: "He really didn't know that he still had a secret room for hiding treasures in his house." I also stumbled upon it two years ago when I was tidying up the storage closet above. Now, Zhenguo entrusts me with all the chores at home. He didn't even notice the storage room above, and he didn't notice that there was a secret room under it that hid treasures. Now, I will hide the bodies of you and your daughter in a secret room, and I am afraid that in a hundred years, no one will find out. β
When Ji Jing heard this, he was completely desperate. She couldn't help hugging Xinxin tightly, and lamented in her mouth: "Nini, it's all because my mother has no ability and can't avenge you." Now I can only go with you! (To be continued.) )
