Chapter 21: The Key

"Is this a villa or a prison?" Walking in front of the so-called villa in Liu Baogu, Xingshu couldn't help but sigh, because the walls around this villa are nearly 4 meters high, and the walls are full of broken glass in addition to barbed wire, and there are surveillance cameras on all four walls, like a prison rather than a residential villa.

Chen Taidong stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.

Xingshu stood in front of the door and raised his hand to look at his watch: "Why hasn't She Caixiang come back yet?" ”

Muffy asked next to him, "Are you worried about her?" ”

Xingshu said: "Since you are a companion, you are a companion, and you can't ignore her safety." ”

Ma Fei shook his head: "You always have to remind yourself of the series of things that happened back then." ”

"Of course." Torture smiled, "Even if I forget, you'll remind me in time, right?" ”

While the two were talking, She Caixiang ran panting: "Why is it so far." ”

Ma Fei looked at She Caixiang: "You haven't eaten, have you?" I've got cookies here. ”

She Caixiang immediately said: "I ate, I ate very strongly." ”

Xingshu frowned, knowing that the conflict was about to break out, he hurriedly stepped forward to stand with Chen Taidong, who was still knocking on the door, to avoid being drawn in.

Ma Fei smirked: "From where we eat here, at least one kilometer, the place where you eat is almost one kilometer, right?" I calculated the time, although you came a little late, but you still calculated that you ran directly, a person who claims to have eaten is going to vomit on the premise of running a kilometer in a row, right? You're in a weird state. ”

She Caixiang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Ma Fei's previous "kindness" was actually a trick for her, and immediately said: "My physique is weird, are you envious?" ”

Ma Fei didn't look at She Caixiang either: "I can't talk about envy, I just think it's a little weird, not only is your physique weird, it's also weird that you have to eat alone, and the ghost knows what you're doing." ”

She Caixiang approached Ma Fei: "What did I do, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Ma Fei shrugged: "I didn't say it mattered, I just asked, you have to continue to talk." ”

Just when the conflict between the two was about to escalate, a man's voice came from the loudspeaker at the door: "Who are you?" ”

Chen Taidong looked at the camera and said into the loudspeaker: "We are from the north, and I heard that Mr. Liu Baogu lives here, and I am looking for him in an emergency." ”

The man asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”

Chen Taidong hesitated, and simply got straight to the point: "We want to ask Mr. Liu, about what happened in Qingliangou in 1960, we can't hide it, we are going to Qingliangou, there is no other meaning, we just hope that Mr. Liu can give us an accurate coordinate." ”

After Chen Taidong finished speaking, no more sound came from the loudspeaker, Chen Taidong saw what he was thinking about the torture technique, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I hear this person's voice very familiar, and this person has a northeastern accent. ”

Chen Taidong asked, "Do you know?" ”

As soon as he said this, the door opened, and a bald head appeared at the door, and then looked up and down at Xingshu and Chen Taidong, just when Xingshu was still wondering if this person had seen it somewhere, the bald smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he pointed at Xingshu and said, "Hey, buddy!" Fate! ”

Chen Taidong, Ma Fei and She Caixiang all looked at the torture technique, and the torture technique looked at the bald head, but still didn't remember who he was.

"Half a year ago, Harbin Detention Center." The bald head walked out, "Dude, do you remember?" Do I remember your name? Come to think of it, your name is quite special, yes, torture! Right? ”

Xingshu nodded, and suddenly remembered who he was - after the Pan Feng case was over, after he "surrendered" to Fu Mingwei, he was detained for a period of time, this Sikong Yan lived in the same room with him and Yan Gang at the time, not only a self-acquaintance, but also a chatter, I didn't expect to meet in this place after such a long time.

"Why are you here?" ”

Sikong Yan turned around and glanced at the gate of the villa: "I'm here to find my godfather." ”

"Your godfather?" The torturer asked strangely, "Your godfather is Liu Baogu?" ”

Sikong Yan nodded, also surprised: "How did you know my godfather?" And few people know that he used to be called Liu Baogu, because he later changed his name, buddy, you are also in the mineral trade? ”

Xingshu shook his head: "No, but I do have an urgent matter with your godfather." ”

Sikong Yan nodded: "I know, this gentleman said just now, you are here to find that Qinglian Gou, right?" Come in, there is no one in the house, just me, you came just right, this is called a hometown to meet the old acquaintance, no, you should call the fellow to see the fellow, two tears in your eyes, come on, please inside. ”

The four of them followed Sikong Yan into the gate of the villa, and after entering, they found that there was a hole in it, under the high wall was the garden, full of various plants, and the main body of the villa was in the middle of the garden, with a total of three floors, but it was very strange that the windows on each floor were sealed with steel plates outside, and the gate under the villa was also wrapped in iron sheets, which was simply a fortress.

After walking into the living room, Sikong Yan turned on the light, but only turned on a table lamp.

When the four of them sat down on the sofa, Sikong Yan took out some drinks from the pocket next to him and put them on the table: "I'm sorry, there's nothing here, I bought everything I ate and drank temporarily, and there was no water or electricity, and the electricity for lighting the lamp was all generated by the generator in the basement, so I had to save some money, or I would have to go out to buy diesel." ”

Xingshu nodded, looking at this incomparably luxurious and rustic-looking living room: "How can your godfather be Liu Baogu?" ”

Sikong Yan sat on the opposite side: "I don't want to either, didn't I tell you before?" My dad is from the Northeast, from Jiamusi, my mother is from Zhejiang, I am a mixed race between the north and the south, my dad used to mine in Inner Mongolia, met my godfather, worshipped the handle, I recognized him as a godfather, but in fact, I haven't met him a few times. ”

Chen Taidong asked vigilantly, "Then why did you come here?" ”

"Who wants to come? I put aside my own business and came to this hellish place? Sikong Yan shook his head and sighed, "Although this place is also beautiful, it is not home after all." ”

She Caixiang couldn't bear it and asked, "Then why are you here?" ”

Sikong Yan sat up straight: "I'm here to find my dad." ”

"Huh?" Torture was stunned, "Looking for your father?" ”

She Caixiang pretended to be surprised and said, "It turns out that Liu Baogu is your father?" ”

"What!" Sikong Yan was a little angry, "What do you mean by my father?" My father followed Liu Baogu back to Sichuan, but the person disappeared out of thin air, and I found it according to the address left by Liu Baogu before. ”

Xingshu and Chen Taidong glanced at each other, and Xingshu also signaled She Caixiang not to speak, and asked himself: "Do you have the key here?" ”

Sikong Yan shook his head: "The key was sent by courier, and there is nothing except a key." I was able to find it here, and I found it according to the shipping address on the courier. Because I remember very clearly, Liu Baogu is my godfather, and he used to say that his hometown is here. ”

Xingshu asked again: "Your father followed Liu Baogu to Sichuan?" Come play? ”

"That's right." Sikong Yan took a sip of beer, "The old man said that he has been busy with coal mines for half his life, and he has never come out to have a good time. ”

Ma Fei asked at this time: "Why didn't you call the police?" ”

Sikong Yan said: "I'm not sure, when he followed my godfather to Sichuan, he would make a phone call every day, until a week ago, the phone stopped calling, I called to turn off the phone, and the godfather's phone was also turned off, and no one answered the landline here." I wondered if something was wrong and should I call the police? That's when I received a courier with a key in it, and I wondered what if the old man was joking with me? If I call the police and find out that it was a joke, didn't I offend my godfather? ”

"You have a point." Torture got up and walked around the living room, "But this thing is too strange, isn't it?" It feels like your dad or your goddad is sending the keys to get you here, no, no. ”

Sikong Yan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Torture pondered for a moment and said: "If they are here, living in this villa, there is no need to send you the key, but on the contrary, this way is like 'leaving' the key for you, but why don't you leave the key for you?" ”

She Caixiang said: "I don't think it's that simple. ”

"yes, something should have happened." Ma Fei also analyzed, "I feel that the purpose of the person who sent the key should be to bring Sikong Yan here." ”

She Caixiang and Ma Fei's opinions were unified for the first time, and the two glanced at each other, but immediately looked away at the same time, both with a look of disdain.

At this time, Chen Taidong, who had not spoken all this time and was in deep thought, raised his eyes and said, "Sikong Yan, has your father ever told you anything about your godfather before?" The important thing? Or did your godfather say it himself? Especially a certain experience in his youth? ”

Criminal Shu understood, Chen Taidong realized that maybe this incident was related to what happened in 1960, in fact, they originally heard about Liu Xiangui's past, and they only had a half-believing attitude, and wanted to come here to ask Liu Baogu, who knew that they met Sikong Yan here, and they also knew such a strange thing, this is no coincidence.

Xingshu walked up to Sikong Yan and asked, "Where is the key?" ”

Sikong Yan took out his wallet, opened it and took out the key: "Here." ”

After the torturer's hand touched the key, he subconsciously said, "Cast iron key? ”

Chen Taidong also stepped forward, weighed it, took out a magnifying glass to look at it, and then bit it again: "Yes, it's pig iron, and there is a string of numbers on it, what does it mean?" ”

She Caixiang walked over: "Where is the key to pure pig iron now?" ”

Ma Fei immediately accosted him next to him: "Yes, you are an expert in unlocking, you should be very knowledgeable about this, right?" ”

She Caixiang ignored Ma Fei's sarcasm and took the key: "It is indeed pig iron, now most of the keys are made of steel, generally copper or alloy, almost no one uses pig iron as a key, because pig iron is easy to rust and deform, and look at the style of this key, it should be a marble lock, but the marble lock is also divided into types, according to the country's identification, it is roughly divided into A, B and super B level lock cylinders, which are just the most common A-level lock cylinders." ”

The criminal art has learned to open the lock in Tong Yunhui, and of course it is not a problem to open the ordinary marble lock, and he also knows that She Caixiang is not alarmist, but at this time, She Caixiang said a key sentence and reminded the criminal art.

She Caixiang said: "In addition to being easy to open, there is also a problem with the A-level bullet lock, that is, the mutual opening rate is very high. ”

Sikong Yan nodded: "Yes, I do decoration, and I also know this, what do you mean, what other secrets does this key have?" ”

Maffei asked: "The mutual opening rate means that one key can open multiple lock cylinders. ”

After Ma Fei finished speaking, Xingshu and Chen Taidong glanced at each other, and Chen Taidong asked, "How many rooms does this villa have?" ”

Sikong Yan shook his head: "When I came yesterday, I walked up and down, large and small, including toilets, basements, cubicles and whatever, there are about thirty of them, right?" ”

She Caixiang was a little surprised: "So many? Isn't this a big house from the outside? Fifteen rooms are almost dead. ”

Sikong Yan said: "The rooms here are not big, I don't know what I thought when I designed it, so there are a lot of rooms, except for a master bedroom, the other rooms can only put a bed." ”

Xingshu pondered for a moment and said: "There are five of us, we will act separately and check every room in this villa, by the way, Sikong Yan, is there any room in this villa whose door is locked?" ”

Sikong Yan shook his head: "No, all the rooms I can find have been to it, and none of them are closed." ”

Torture said: "Then let's look separately first, search the room carefully, see if there is anything strange, or if there are any cabinets or drawers in the room that are locked, and after finding them, call the others." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in the torture technique, walked up the stairs, and began to check room by room from the third floor.

The crowd searched carefully for two hours, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that they returned to the living room to assemble, and they all shook their heads to indicate that they had found nothing and that they had not found anything strange.

Torture sat there with the key, watching carefully, and the others were silent.

Chen Taidong asked: "There are a total of thirty-one large and small rooms, and there are no omissions, right?" ”

Everyone shook their heads slightly, and the torture technique looked at the key, looked at it, and suddenly asked: "Sikong Yan, is there any other place outside this villa?" Garage or something? Or a utility room? ”

Sikong Yan stood up: "Yes, there is a garden in the back, where there are two garages, a kennel, but the dog is gone, and there is a power distribution room." ”

Torture immediately said, "Let's go, go and see." ”

At the moment when everyone left the door of the living room, the lights suddenly went out, and the room was suddenly dark.

Sikong Yan immediately said: "It's over, the generator is out of oil." ”

Xingshu asked: "Why do you use a generator to generate electricity for such a large villa?" What does it mean that there is readily available electricity that is not used? ”

"I'm weird, too." Sikong Yan led the way in front, "After I arrived yesterday, if I hadn't gone to the basement, I wouldn't have found this, you also saw it before, and there was such a big diesel generator inside, I was shocked when I saw it." ”

She Caixiang asked again in the back: "But isn't there a power distribution room?" ”

"That's right." Sikong Yan replied, "Isn't this a contradiction? But the box with the main switch in the distribution room is locked. ”

"Locks?" Torture suddenly stood still, "Let's go, let's try to see if we can use this key to unlock the gate of the distribution room." ”

The words of torture reminded everyone, and then entered the power distribution room under the leadership of Sikong Yan.

The torture torch shone on the big lock on the outside of the main gate box, tried to insert the key inside, and then twisted it slightly, and then the lock really opened.

The moment the lock was opened, and there was a slight "click" sound, the people around them held their breath and watched as the torture technique removed the open lock, and then opened the main gate door.

After opening, by the light of the flashlight, everyone saw that there was only one main gate inside, and there was nothing, and there were no other partition gates below, which was very unreasonable.

The torturer grabbed the main gate and slowly pushed it up, and the moment he pushed it up, the lights in the power supply room immediately turned on, but then a large number of mechanical turning sounds were heard.

The torturer immediately ran out of the power supply room and found that all the lights in the garden were turned on, and the steel plates on the outer layer of the villa window were all turned on, and the entire villa immediately became brightly lit inside and outside.

Xingshu immediately asked: "Sikong Yan, is there a switch for partition control?" With such a big light, it would be troublesome to attract people around you! ”

Sikong Yan recalled carefully, pulled his legs and rushed to the garage that had been opened, and after a while, the lights in the villa garden went out, and Sikong Yan ran out again: "Hey, the lights in the villa must be turned off." ”

Xingshu turned his head to Chen Taidong and She Caixiang and said, "Uncle Chen, you take She Caixiang to look around the periphery to see if there is anything strange, and I will go into the house with Ma Fei and Sikong Yan to look carefully again." ”

The two groups of people immediately split up, but Chen Taidong and She Caixiang found nothing outside, but instead they had a harvest from the torture technique and Ma Fei in the kitchen in the villa - the door of the double-door refrigerator in the kitchen was opened, but it was empty inside, and there was nothing.

Torture Shu approached the refrigerator: "There must be something wrong with this refrigerator, otherwise how could it open it by itself?" ”

As soon as Sikong Yan heard what the torture technique said, he subconsciously looked behind him: "Could it be that there are other people hiding here?" ”

Ma Fei immediately denied: "Impossible, we searched upstairs and downstairs before, and if there was someone, we would have found it a long time ago." ”

Xingshu fumbled in the refrigerator and found a switch to adjust the temperature next to it: "It's strange, this kind of refrigerator is an LCD screen outside to adjust the temperature or something, how can there be a switch inside?" ”

Saying that, the torture technique subconsciously twisted, and after the twisting, the double-door refrigerator began to move outside, and the torture technique, Ma Fei and Sikong Yan subconsciously retreated to the kitchen door, at this time Chen Taidong and She Caixiang arrived, and they were also surprised to see this scene.

"Secret door." She Caixiang stepped forward and looked, "And it's electric, using an integrated circuit, which has both advantages and disadvantages." ”

Sikong Yan asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"To put it simply, the main switch must be opened, otherwise the power switch of this secret door will not start, and at the same time, this wire is also connected to other power lines, and a current meter is buried somewhere around, if a certain thing in the house that was originally set to use electricity is not used, this mechanism will not start." She Caixiang looked at the secret door behind the refrigerator that had been removed, "For example, if a lamp or an electrical appliance in this room is damaged, the relay will immediately sense it, and then the mechanism will not be turned on, and nothing will happen." ”

"Understood, that is to say, if the main gate is opened and you want to urgently close the secret door, you only need to destroy one of the electrical appliances or break a lamp." ”

Chen Taidong stepped forward: "It seems that we must leave one or two people outside, otherwise, once they all go in, someone outside will move their hands and feet, and it is very likely that they will be sealed inside." ”

Xingshu turned his head to look at She Caixiang: "You are familiar with this kind of indoor mechanism, you and Sikong Yan should stay." ”

"I disagree!" Ma Fei immediately said, "The ghost knows if she will deliberately trap us inside, she must go in, me and Sikong Yan stay, torture, don't forget, I am your fiancΓ©e, you must believe me." ”
