Chapter 274: Finding the Secret Room by Vine
Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when they heard Li Mi say that they actually knew Fang San'er's hiding place, especially Xiong Tingbi, he searched with Li Mi, this place was clearly clueless, how could Li Mi say that he already knew?
"Are you saying you already know where Fang San'er is hiding?" Zhao Guangling was still a little unconvinced, after all, when he came in, Li Mi still said that he had no clue, he just told the inside story, and Li Mi was able to speculate?
Li Mi was extremely sure, and said to Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi: "I not only know Fang San'er's hiding place, but also know the whereabouts of all the missing victims!" ”
When Li Mi said this, Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi were both surprised, but Li Mi stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and they all immediately understood!
Because what Li Mi is referring to are those life-size clay sculptures and terracotta figurines of different shapes outside the courtyard!
"My God's grandfather, this ...... It's horrifying, isn't it! Although Zhao Guangling said so, he already believed it in his heart!
Although he had never seen or heard of such a bizarre case, if the victims of this successive disappearances were killed by the same person, then this person was really cruel to the extreme, and it was an extremely terrifying thing.
It's just that he and Xiong Tingbi also know that the speculation made by Li Mi is completely possible!
Even only by using real people as molds can we make such realistic clay sculptures or terracotta figurines!
Could it be that the murderer is really this seemingly honest craftsman, Master Liang Tongcheng?
When the turmoil in his heart was turbulent, Li Mi had already walked in front of those terracotta figurines, he unsheathed the Qi family's knife on his waist, turned it around, and knocked it on a terracotta figurine with the handle of the knife!
Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi were also nervous, and even held their breath, and they had already begun to imagine in their minds what kind of terrifying appearance these corpses sealed in the terracotta figurines should be!
Once this case is cracked, it will inevitably become the most appalling case in more than ten years, and Li Mi will also be famous in Wuchang!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
This terracotta figurine is thicker than in the phenomenon, and Li Mi is also afraid of hurting the corpses or living people inside, so he is also more careful.
After knocking like this a few times, cracks finally appeared, Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to breathe, and Li Mi also increased his strength, and finally with a bang, the terracotta figurines were pierced!
Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi were also very excited, with expectations, but they were a little frightened and resistant, but in the end they still got together.
However, such an exciting moment ended in disappointment!
Yes, not only Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi were disappointed, but even Li Mi was also a little incredulous, because there were only straw and other fillings in the terracotta figurines, and there were no expected corpses or living people at all!
"Impossible, how can this be...... There's nowhere else to hide...... Could it be that this Liang Tongcheng is really not a murderer? ”
There is a shame, but Li Mi doesn't care about this very much, after all, they are all his own people, and what he really cares about is still the case itself.
But after all, he is also a human being, and he also has his own emotions, and he is full of confidence to make such a judgment, but in the end he miscalculated, and his heart is also lost in the end.
At this time, Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi comforted Li Mi in turn: "These terracotta figurines are indeed very suspicious, and they are definitely the best choice for Tibetans, but in the end, they are in the courtyard, and they will inevitably decay faster and emit the smell of corpses. ”
Having said that, Li Mi was already a little disappointed, Li Mi had already glanced at it cursoly, and the goods stacked in the right wing room were all used by craftsmen, so there should be no doubt.
"There aren't too many suspicious things in that room, it seems that we have to go back and talk to Liang Tongcheng."
Li Mi smelled a strange smell in Liang Tongcheng's room earlier, so he found another breakthrough, and gave birth to another bold guess, but now he can't find anyone, maybe he can change the direction, and it is not a good way.
However, at this time, Xiong Tingbi said to Li Mi: "No, there is still a suspicion in this right wing, and it is a suspicion that we all ignore!" ”
Li Mi was about to give up, but at this time, Xiong Tingbi put forward such a statement, and Li Mi couldn't help but feel spirited, but Zhao Guangling finally found an outlet to fight back, and said to Xiong Tingbi mercilessly.
"It's a joke if you can find anything suspicious!"
Xiong Tingbi didn't bother to care, maybe it was this attitude that made Zhao Guangling feel even more annoyed, he mocked you, you would be angry, you mocked him, but he was indifferent, this is the real annoyance.
Xiong Tingbi glanced at Zhao Guangling, then pointed to the roof of the left wing, and said to Li Mi: "Brother, look, this wing is originally a palace of the palace, which is used for living, not a kitchen, but there is a chimney behind the house!" ”
Li Mi looked around, and really saw a straight shadow similar to a chimney!
Since it was night, Li Mishi didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect Xiong Tingbi to see it!
This chimney only shows a little straight shape, if you don't look closely, you really can't find it, especially at night, it's even more secret.
But this chimney is really suspicious as Xiong Tingbi said!
This right wing room is used for living in people, not a kitchen, what is the use of this chimney, besides, this was originally the house of the palace, and it is impossible for the builders of the palace to make such a low-level mistake, it can only be said that this is added later!
However, Li Mi in the right wing has already taken a cursory look, and there is no such thing as a stove in it, so what is the use of this chimney?
In their hearts, Li Mi and the three of them pushed open the right wing room and raised the lantern high, and the situation in this room was clear at a glance, no different from before, just like a utility room, but it was relatively clean.
But Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi, Zhao Guangling, you look at me, I look at you, they all see the surprise in their eyes!
Yes, they came in by the suspicious point of the chimney, but when they got into the room, they found no other part of the chimney!
What does this mean?
Explain that the chimney leads to another place, not this right wing!
But apart from these three rooms, there are no other rooms in the courtyard, which means that this right wing room is very likely to have a secret room!
Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi were very skillful and knocked in the room, but they didn't find the dark pavilion, but the suspicion was in front of them, that is, digging three feet into the ground, and they also had to find the clues of this chimney!
The two of them glanced at each other, and both cast their eyes on the roof, Zhao Guangling also understood, walked outside the door, stepped on three or five steps, stepped on the pillar, and jumped on the roof like a monkey.
"Attention!"
After a reminder, he slammed his foot and knocked down all the tiles around the chimney!
The tiles fell into the room, crackling and crackling, and everyone finally saw that the chimney was so cleverly embedded in the wall that it was impossible to see without looking closely.
Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi peeled off the skin of the wall, and really saw the chimney poured in clay extending diagonally below the ground!
Following the direction of the chimney, Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi made an estimate, and then began to remove all the objects in the room, and finally found a pull plate at the entrance of the cellar in the corner of the room!
The two looked at each other, and they were also pleasantly surprised, at this time Zhao Guangling also returned to the room, the three of them looked at it, and finally pulled the cover up!
The three of them picked up the lantern and walked diagonally down the seven or eight steps, and came to the heavy iron door, although the iron door was hung with a big lock, but Liang Tongcheng was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to lock it.
The three of them had already vaguely smelled some rancid smell at this time, and Li Mi was about to push open the iron door, but the iron door was too heavy, and it was supposed that there should be a mechanism, but Xiong Tingbi and Zhao Guangling were angry, and the three of them worked together to push the iron door open!
After all, I really couldn't help but be curious, but as soon as the iron door was pushed open, the three of them frowned, Li Mi was fine, but Zhao Guangling retreated quickly, and he retched when he opened his mouth.
Rao is a man like Xiong Tingbi, and finally spit it out, because there was a strong smell of corpses!
This corpse smell is different from the ordinary corpse odor, and it is also mixed with smoke and dust, Li Mi inevitably recalled that in later generations, he had been to the crematorium several times, and it was this smell!
It is said that the fire should be able to suppress the smell of corpses, but this cellar is too closed to let the smell out, and it stinks.
Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi were a little discouraged, but Li Mi took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose and walked inside, just walked into this cellar, Li Mi was stunned!
There is a big sword furnace in the cellar, and the facilities such as the iron felt and iron hammer quenching trough are also clear at a glance, if it is just these things, Li Mi would not be surprised.
What made people's scalps tingle was that next to the sword furnace, there were six or seven corpses that had been smoked and dried hanging with iron hooks!
"Finally found it!"
Li Mi's heart became excited, but at this time, he heard a faint voice, and there was a monkey-like black shadow curled up in the corner!
"Fang San'er!"
A name poured out of Li Mi's heart, and he held down the hilt of the knife and walked over quickly, under the light of the lantern, it was really Fang San'er's face full of horror!
Although his mouth was gagged and his hands and feet were tied, there were still traces of vomit around Fang San'er's nose!
It can be seen that even if her mouth is blocked, she still can't help the urge to vomit, and the vomit is sprayed directly from her nostrils!
Seeing Li Mi, Fang San'er's already bloodshot eyes also welled up with tears, Li Mi hurriedly untied her, Fang San'er threw herself into Li Mi's arms, but she trembled all over, and she accumulated strength for a long time before she cried!
When Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi heard the crying, they also hurriedly rushed in, and they were also frightened by this meeting!
"It turns out that the missing people are hiding here!"
Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi inevitably exclaimed, although they were a little panicked, but the two also forgot about their hostility and walked side by side in front of the row of hanging cadres.
The corpses were hung upside down with a knife mark on their necks, and next to them were several wooden barrels covered in blood and grime, emitting an extremely pungent stench.
"These people were bled to death!"
Xiong Tingbi is a delicate person, and he has adapted to and is familiar with the routine of Li Mi's investigation, so he came to such a conclusion.
Zhao Guangling didn't taunt anymore, but said to Xiong Tingbi: "This person is cruel in nature, he can torture and kill these women, why do you want to bleed?" ”
Xiong Tingbi and Zhao Guangling stared at these corpses for a while, and soon they turned their eyes to the sword furnace!
At this time, there was still a sword embryo inserted upside down in the sword furnace, and under the light of the fire, the sword embryo actually exuded a strange blood light!
"He actually used his virgin blood to refine his sword!"
