Chapter 40: Gu Shumei's Death III
Another day passed, and no one came to see her today, and she knew nothing about the situation outside, and she was a little anxious.
In the middle of the night, the cell bosses drank some wine, locked the door of the cell, and gradually fell asleep, and most of the people in the cell were already asleep.
Chu Wanyue was irritable, lying on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
"Sister." The little girl in the opposite cell suddenly appeared behind her.
She was startled, "You, how did you get in?" ”
"Shhh——, I'll get you out." The little girl motioned to Chu Wanyue not to be too loud.
"It's all locked, how did you get in?" Chu Wanyue lowered her voice, pointed to the lock on the opposite cell and her own cell, and asked suspiciously.
"It's not a little thing that bothers me, I just burned some sleeping incense, let's go." The little girl took Chu Wanyue's hand.
Chu Wanyue was a little hesitant, who is this little girl? Is it here to help you, or is it deliberately sent by the other party? And that's how to escape from prison, okay?
"Sister, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to repay my sister for saving her life a few days ago, and my grandfather has taught me to repay my kindness since I was a child." The little girl seemed to have seen through Chu Wanyue's thoughts.
"This-" Chu Wanyue was still hesitating in her heart, even if she escaped from prison, Jingzhao Mansion Yin would definitely send someone to search for her, it happened suddenly, what to do next after she went out, she hadn't made a plan yet.
"Sister, grandpa often said that you can't hand over your fate to others, you must control it yourself." The little girl's words made Chu Wanyue suddenly feel a little ashamed. Yes, she has been planning and calculating in the prison for the past few days, but subconsciously she has been pinning her hopes on the Gu family and Yue Mingchen. When did she Chu Wanyue start to rely on others so much!
"Okay, I'll go out with you." After thinking about it, Chu Wanyue made a decisive decision.
The little girl's lockpicking technique was very clever, and before Chu Wanyue could see it clearly, she had already opened the door of the prison. In the dark night, the little girl led Chu Wanyue out of Jingzhao Mansion with a familiar way.
"Sister, what are you going to do next?" The two of them found a corner and squatted down, and the little girl asked.
"What's your name? Why are you so familiar with the terrain of Jingzhao Mansion? Chu Wanyue asked the doubts in her heart.
"My name is Ah Xi, in order to save my sister, I deliberately remembered the terrain when I was arrested today, and my memory is good."
"Ah Xi, where is your family?"
Ah Xi was silent for a while, and then said with some sadness, "My family has passed away. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know." Chu Wanyue felt the other party's sadness and regretted her directness a little.
"Can I always follow my sister in the future? I don't want anything, I just want something to eat. Ah Xi took Chu Wanyue's hand and prayed.
"Okay." Faced with such a request, Chu Wanyue couldn't refuse.
"Great, thank you, sister." Ah Xi was really a child, and happily hugged Chu Wanyue.
"Ah Xi, do you have a way to open the door of that inn?" Chu Wanyue pointed to the inn where the crime occurred that had been sealed.
"Piece of cake."
Ten minutes later, they were standing in the upper room where the crime occurred. Chu Wanyue couldn't figure out why Gu Shumei hadn't smelled blood if Gu Shumei had been killed and hidden under the bed when she entered the door. If the other party secretly transported Gu Shumei's body in the process of talking to Chu Wanxiang, then the doors and windows were always closed, how did the other party do it?
Lighting the candles, she began to inspect the furnishings in the house. Soon, Ah Xi found the mechanism on the bed, and with a light press, the ground under the bed cracked, revealing a secret passage.
"This mechanism is really hidden, and ordinary people really can't see it!" Ah Xi admired.
"Let's go down and have a look." Chu Wanyue took out the dagger and said.
The two of them carefully jumped down the secret passage with a faint candle, which was very long and tortuous, and walked for about five or six minutes before reaching the end.
"It's the end? Why is there no export? Chu Wanyue was a little puzzled.
Ah Xi held a candle and looked around, leaned his head against the wall and listened for a while, and I don't know how to use it, and a door suddenly opened in the closed wall.
"There are people who use such a simple mechanism." Ah Xi pursed his lips, seemingly disdainful of the mechanism in front of him.
Chu Wanyue was full of doubts, who is this Axi, and why does he know so much about these organs?
