Chapter 181: 1217 (1)
Inside the castle, you will find that the structure of this place is similar to the previous secret garden. It's just that there is no long slippery garden, and the rooms are not so large in space, like a condensed version of the third venue.
Chen Shi has learned the geometry of space quite well, and based on the position between the doors and the structure of the external space, he can probably deduce that each room may only be about four square meters in size. Divided into two floors, five rooms on top and bottom, the doors are dark brown, similar to those in hotels. There is an A4 white sheet of paper on it, with everyone's name written on it.
Ah Lai led everyone to stand in front of their own door, Chen Shi's room was on the second floor, and he went down the stairs to the one facing him.
"Players, when the countdown is over, you can enter the room."
Standing in the center of the hall on the first floor, where everyone could be seen, Ah Lai took out a pocket watch from the inside pocket of his trench coat: "10, 9, 8...... 3,2,1。 ”
When the countdown is over, push the door open and enter, there is nothing inside, it is pitch black. The moment he collapsed to the invisible floor, Chen Shi lost consciousness.
……
Many people like to say that if you know it, you can't ...... Finish. But if you really do, how can you be sure that things won't end badly?
"Click-click-click-"
Chen Shi was lying on the bunk, knowing that he was awake, but he couldn't open his eyes and his limbs couldn't move. There was a strong sense of pathos in my heart and told myself, let's sleep like this, there is no point in living anyway.
"Hey, hello. Yes, I'm Chen Xiu's mother......"
In another house across the wall, the voice of my mother was old and crying. Chen Shi thought about it, yes, in this time and space, his father died early, and there was no child named Chen Xi. It was her mother who grew up alone and pulled herself and Xiuxiu to grow up.
"I only called once, and the kid had a bad temper and never came to me when he had nothing to do...... I called that day and she had a bad attitude, so I hung up...... Woo woo woo ......," the mother choked up as she spoke.
Chen Shi finally forced himself to open his eyes and sat up from the bunk. This is a very dilapidated shack house, and the three of them have lived here for more than ten years. I looked in the mirror, and the person in the mirror had a scruffy beard and looked more than ten years older than he actually was.
Trying to recall everything in this time and space, Chen Shi finally remembered that in this time and space, he was an ordinary worker. signed a decoration company, which is responsible for scraping putty for people, and with a meager salary a month, he can barely get by. But don't even think about buying a house, so I still live in such a dilapidated house with my mother and sister.
And Xiuxiu is different, she has been excellent since she was a child. During the college entrance examination, because I like art, I have a certain foundation. So I spent a lot of money to enroll in a special oil painting training class a year in advance, and I was admitted to the oil painting major of the ideal school in my dreams.
Studying oil painting is very expensive, so I and my mother worked a few jobs outside to earn tuition and living expenses for her. Xiuxiu is very competitive, in her junior year, one of her paintings won the championship in the provincial newcomer painter competition, and a well-known painter did not hesitate to affirm it, saying that it was very aura.
Since then, Xiuxiu no longer needs to live at home, as long as the quality is passable, a painting can be sold for tens of thousands of good prices.
A day ago, a wealthy man held an exhibition of her paintings. So after informing her family, Xiuxiu drove to that strange city by herself. This kind of thing used to be common, but just this morning, my mother received a call from the police.
The police said that there was a large hotel more than 30 kilometers away from the exhibition hall where Xiuxiu was going to hold the exhibition, and Xiuxiu died in room 1217 of the hotel.
The moment he heard the news, Chen Shi didn't remember anything, and now he has just recovered.
"Mom—"
Chen Shi walked to the door of the room and asked his crying mother, "What did the police officer say?" ”
"The police officer said let's go and identify the body, because it may have been a homicide, and we can't go through the normal cremation procedure......" The mother couldn't control her emotions and choked up as she spoke.
"That'...... Just go ahead, I'll drive. Chen Shi didn't know what to say, so he could only do what he was asked to do.
The car was parked on a sidewalk near my home, and it was a very dilapidated second-hand Santana. The owner of this car is Chen Xiu, she just learned her driver's license, bought this car to practice, and changed to a new car after the internship period, so the two broken cars were thrown to Chen Shi.
"Mom, what do you mean by the police? Why did you ask if you called Xiuxiu? ”
The mother was sitting in the passenger seat and was emotionally unstable. Chen Shi wanted to divert her attention, so he tried to find a topic to chat with her.
"I didn't know, they said that on the day Xiuxiu left, I called her several times. But not at all, I only hit one when she just drove away, and Xiuxiu didn't say anything, so she asked me impatiently what was wrong. At that time, I was very angry and thought that it was too inappropriate for her to talk to the elders like this, so I hung up the phone. ”
"I knew it earlier...... If I had known it would have been...... I'm sure I'm not going to hang up......" My mother started crying again.
Chen Shi was a little helpless, knowing that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only drive to the destination as soon as possible.
The destination is in Linshi, and it will take you three or four hours to get there by car. Along the way, Chen Shi increased his horsepower and drove to the place.
The hotel where Xiuxiu had an accident was a large four-star hotel, and her agent came over at the same time. Based on the police's review of the surveillance before and after the accident and the agent's records, it can be roughly inferred what happened at the time of the accident.
A day earlier, the agent helped Chen Xiu arrange the exhibition and helped her book a small hotel near the exhibition hall. There is a long mountain road between Xiuxiu's place of residence and the exhibition hall, and it takes some effort to drive.
Halfway through, a man beckoned on the side of the road, wanting to hitchhike. Chen Xiu thought, do me a favor, so let him go.
That road is only an hour and a half by car, maybe I haven't driven for too long, I don't know if there is a breakdown, and the car breaks down. At this time, it was already dark outside, and I had to go to the exhibition early tomorrow morning, and if I couldn't catch the car, it would be too late.
The two could only wave desperately on the side of the road, hoping to meet a kind person to go on a ride. The emperor lived up to his wishes, and not long after, a small pickup truck stopped in front of the two.
There was a fat master sitting in the car, who looked very kind, and the three of them talked and laughed on the road for a short time. To say that Chen Xiu himself also feels strange, except for not getting along with his family, he can get along well with anyone.
But maybe God was playing tricks on himself, and the car didn't drive a few steps and fell into a quagmire. Because it was a pickup truck, there was cargo on it, and it was very deep. The trio tried their best, but they couldn't push the car out.
At this time, Chen Xiu was only thinking about his own art exhibition, and the car he was driving had already been towed away by a tow truck, and the hitchhiker couldn't be pushed out for a long time, so he didn't know what to do.
"Otherwise, how about we find a trailer and pull us into the city first?"
I have to say that this fat master is very clever, and the three of them hit it off.
