Chapter 379 Reasoning: Night Before the Truth XVII
Xie Yunmeng naturally did what Yun Yeyao said, and the old criminal policeman reminded him to be careful that there were ghosts in the box, looking at the teacher's worried look, Xie Yunmeng just smiled and carried the heaviest box, without comment.
In terms of distance, the closest way to leave is to go out from the room where Lian Fan died, and there is no need to climb the secret passage, which is convenient for Xie Yunmeng to carry the box.
But Xie Yunmeng strangely did not go in that direction, but towards the other end, Liu Qiaopu stopped him and asked, "Xiao Meng, why don't you take a shortcut?" ”
"Teacher, you believe me, just follow along."
Liu Qiaopu knew Xie Yunmeng, and his apprentice would never lie to him, so the old man didn't continue to ask, turned his head to Horror and Yu Qia and said, "Let's go." ”
"I'm not leaving!" Suddenly, he grabbed Yu Cha's neck, causing the old man to cough, and the hostess's eyes flickered, and she looked down at her hands.
Liu Qiao Pu couldn't help but take a step closer, he seemed to see something in the shadows, the old man reacted quickly, stretched out his hand and pulled the horror, only to hear a scream of horror, and was thrown into the middle of the corridor by the old man.
The terrifying hand cut a hole, blood dripped down, and he still held a knife in his hand, Liu Qiaopu snatched the knife, and said sternly: "Mistress, for the sake of your own life, I hope you will cooperate a little!" After speaking, Liu Qiaopu also glanced back at Yu Qia, Yu Qia's face was pale, perhaps afraid of the old man's sharp gaze, and shook his head desperately.
"Horror, you follow Xiao Meng, Yu Qia, you follow me, be careful." After the old man finished speaking, he urged everyone to leave quickly.
A group of people, Yan Muheng helped Yun Yeyao to walk in the front, Xie Yunmeng followed closely with the box, and walked between Xie Yunmeng and Liuqiaopu very obediently, and Liuqiaopu supported the trembling Yu Cha to follow at the end.
When they turned the first corner, a woman's head suddenly poked out from behind, it was Wen Manman, her face was still like a cat at the moment, maybe Xie Yunmeng didn't go in the direction where she was, just to prevent everyone from discovering her.
Wen Manman took off Liu Hang's down jacket and threw it there, wanting to continue his movements, but was grabbed by a pair of hands stretched out in the darkness.
"Tell me, how did you get here?" The man's deep voice echoed in her ears, Wen Manman was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe, this time she was really scared, because she couldn't hear who the man holding him hostage was?
"You, who are you?"
"Answer my question."
"That's where I got in!" Weymanman gestured to the end of the hallway.
The man said, "What I want to know is the passage from the restaurant to here, Venmanman." ”
"You...... How do I know my name? Wen Manman was very stunned, and in a hurry, he bit the man's arm, the man let go of his hand in pain, and Wen Manman immediately turned around.
"Is that you?" She couldn't believe her eyes, the person in front of her was exactly the same as Yun Yeyao, but listening to the voice, she was sure that it was not Mr. Actor, and she was not injured.
The man paused and didn't continue to move, but his gaze was sharp and his face was gloomy.
Wen Manman suddenly understood something, and she blurted out: "I know, you are the person Yan Muheng is looking for, Eternal Heart, he chased Xiao Yao because he made a mistake." ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about? Tell me the passage, I'm going to see the corpses in the restaurant. ”
"You're really not a murderer?"
"I said, wouldn't you believe it?"
“…… Yes, because your eyes are as good as his! The man looked at her for a while before saying, "I'm not like him, and I don't know who you're talking about." ”
"I'll know you later," Wen Manman didn't have a trace of fear at this time, she said to the man: "I don't want to ask your name, just call you Eternity, before I show you the passage, I still have one more thing to do, I have to be ahead of the criminal police and actors, can you help me?" ”
"Okay."
Unexpectedly, the man readily agreed, much to the bewilderment of Wen Manman.
Without explanation, the man just turned around coldly and left, and Wen Manman hurriedly shouted in the back: "Hey! Wait for me! ”
Soon, the two of them also left the corridor, only a few boxes in the corridor that Xie Yunmeng had not moved, and when everything was silent, a small black head poked out from the crack in the box, it was a black cat that had not appeared for a long time.
It meowed, and ran away in the direction the man and Weymanman had left.
"I don't know, but it didn't take long to get a lot of sand at the restaurant."
Indeed, it's not like a restaurant, where the slimy stuff in the crack of the door seems to be unfinished, and the people inside are constantly trying. Wen Manman stopped what he was doing and thought.
"Liu Hang, can you hear me?" Vinmanman knocked on the door three more times.
He waited for a while, but didn't hear Liu Hang's voice, so he knocked three times, Wen Manman wanted to hear Liu Hang's suggestion, but the response was three dull crashing sounds.
'Huh? What's going on? ’
——
"Hey! Lu Haoyu, why did you suddenly bang on the door? Now everyone is like a frightened bird, Tao Muqing asked Lu Haoyu sharply.
"I want to try to hit it or not, it's been so long." Lu Haoyu didn't look back, just shook the knife that Liu Hang gave him, he wanted to show the dirt stuck to the knife, but in Tao Muqing's eyes, he was demonstrating.
Tao Muqing complained to Liu Hang in a low voice: "Why are you giving him a knife, now everyone is in danger." ”
"Even if he is an accomplice, he doesn't dare to kill people here, I want to see who is outside the door from his behavior?" Liu Hang said: "I don't feel like my grandfather, if my grandfather had arrived, he would have been yelling outside." ”
"Maybe Grandpa Liu's voice was blocked by the door and couldn't come in?"
"How is that possible? Didn't Manman's voice come in easily just now? Liu Hang pointed to the wall behind him, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and he returned to the wall and kicked it with his foot, 'bang', and the sound made was crisp and loud.
Liu Hangyou ran back to Lu Haoyu's vicinity, and also kicked the wall hard, 'bang', but the sound was dull, as if he was kicking on a sandbag.
"Oh, I see, I finally understand why there is a human leg in that place, the murderer really thought of everything." Liu Hang said loudly, pulled all the women back to the corner, ignored Lu Haoyu's gaze, and said to them: "Go out, go out from the other end, there must be a way there, there is no need to find a way to open the door here." ”
"No, there's a leg over there, have you forgotten? And wasn't the door there just now unopenable? Sister Wang didn't understand what Liu Hang meant at all.
Liu Hang said: "I have a way to open the door, you can follow me, go, hurry up!" ”
"What about Manman? She's still in the wall. Tao Muqing said.
"Manman is a smart girl, since she can get here from the restaurant, she can go back, we don't have to worry, saving her life is the most important thing now."
"No, you can see if you look at the wooden planks on the wall, there are gaps in the wooden boards, and it is impossible for the air outside to not get in, but we are too nervous, so we feel stuffy." Liu Hang replied.
Sister Wang looked at the condition of the cook, and found that the old woman seemed to be asleep without saying a word, at first she was startled, but the old woman's snort and heartbeat were there, and her chest was also rising and falling, so she was relieved.
In order to make everyone feel better, Liu Hang said: "The person just now has been gone for about ten minutes, and now it is estimated that Officer Xie has been found and is returning." ”
"I hope so, but I don't hope too much." Tao Muqing said.
"Why?" Liu Hang asked him.
"It was Lu Haoyu who was talking to him, maybe Lu Haoyu heard it wrong in a trance? Besides, the sound of the door just now was so soft, what if it was an injured person and it was difficult to protect himself? ”
"You're worried too much, the more times like this, the more confident you have to be, I'm sure grandpa they will find here."
"Alas! I didn't expect that the house we have lived in for many years has so many institutions, we don't even know it, it's incredible. Sister Wang sighed, she also sat on the ground, and let the cook sleep in her arms.
Sister Wang put one hand on the back of the cook, and the other hand hung on the ground. Lu Haoyu watched them communicate motionlessly, as if he had turned into a wooden man, only rolling eyes and heavy breathing sounds, proving that he was still alive.
The passage was not long, and when it was over, it was pitch black before the eyes of Weymanman and his companions, and they could only grope with their hands.
Wen Manman touched something familiar, and she said, "It's sand, dry sand, how can there be here?" I didn't find anything in the passage I just came through. There is dry sand, which means that the opposite side of the wall is still hollow, or let's look for a place to open it. ”
Before her companion could answer, a girl's stunned voice suddenly came from across the wall: "Who is it?" "It's a lot of panic to hear.
Wen Manman paused, carefully distinguished, she was a smart girl with a good memory, and soon found out who it was, so he quickly asked, "You are Xia Tomato, right?" ”
“!? …… Manman? Is it Manman? ”
The person inside was indeed Xia Tomato, she was squatting on the edge of the wall because she was uncomfortable just now, and she happened to hear Wen Manman's voice, and at this moment Xia Tomato found out that it was a friend, and quickly told Liu Hang.
"Xiaohang, Manman is behind." But she didn't make her words clear in a hurry, she just pulled Liu Hang back, causing the others to be frightened.
Now that they and the boss were in a different position, the grocery store owner had no idea that Weinman would be behind him, and after chasing him for a while, he realized that there was no sound around him, and he had entered another rocky cavern under the restaurant.
This cave is not as large as the previous space, and it is in a straight line, depending on the direction, you should go directly to the bottom of the treacherous house.
The boss was very puzzled, slowed down and continued to move forward, guessing in his heart: 'Could it be that Wen Yuya dug it?' No way, it's not something that one person can do, digging this kind of hole requires at least several strong men to do it. ’
After thinking about it, the boss decided to go to the end first to take a look, and at this moment his face looked much calmer, and his eyes kept searching up and down the hole in the rock, for fear that there would be some mechanism.
——
In the bedroom on the second floor of the restaurant, the body of the proprietress lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, leaving only a few strands of black hair exposed, looking lonely and sad.
Downstairs, the kitchen was filled with a faint smell of blood, the back door was hidden, and the black shadow of the 'ghost' seemed to be wandering outside the back door all the time, accompanied by the sound of the wind, which was creepy.
In the corner of the kitchen, there was a shapeless piece of meat lying down, and when I looked closer, it was the half of the corpse that had disappeared in the snow, the corpse was frozen into ice, and the melted water slowly wet the dirt on the floor with a little temperature in the kitchen.
Under the action of water, a few small patterns appeared on the dirt, like what kind of words, because they were too small to be seen clearly.
As the minutes ticked by, the restaurant house began to creak and rattle, and they only opened the hidden space on the first floor, while on the second floor of the restaurant, just above the lobby and kitchen, there was still a space that no one knew.
The creaking sound came from there, without warning, and a man poked his head out of the staircase, he was the ghost's body, and as he looked down, the shadow of a pair of feet appeared on the floor of the hall on the first floor.
The unpatterned soles walked back and forth in the hall step by step, as if a person was pacing irritably, and the people on the stairs muttered to themselves: "Mother, come back quickly, I drove them away." ”
Wen Manman was a little incredulous, and the proprietress sounded very depressed. She asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No, I just don't want to drag you down."
"May I ask you a question?" Wen Manman suddenly straightened up.
The proprietress looked up at her and asked, "What's the problem?" ”
"My mother, is Wen Yuya hiding someone upstairs here?"
“!! …… I don't know. The proprietress lowered her head as if frightened, her voice trembling in denial.
Wen Manman pulled the proprietress on the shoulders and continued to ask: "Auntie, you have always lived in this place like my mother, even if the past has nothing to do with you, you will know some truths!" Tell me what you know, okay? Was Shu Xue hidden upstairs by my mother? And that sand was built in imitation of a treacherous house structure, right? ”
“…… I really don't know about the sand, and I don't know who Wen Yuya is hiding upstairs, but occasionally when I come to visit the door, I hear movement inside the floor. My husband probably knows more about these things than I do, because he often comes to Wen Yuya's side. ”
"Your husband? Does he come here often? Wen Manman muttered and repeated the words of the proprietress, and the doubts in his heart deepened.
Letting go of the boss's shoulder, Wen Manman got up from the bed and said, "Auntie, you shouldn't be in danger, close the window tightly, I need to go out for a while, if the boss comes back and finds that I'm not there, you can just find a reason." ”
"But...... Manman, I'm not sure ......"
Wen Manman turned back to the proprietress and showed a determined smile and said, "I'm sure you're a good person." ”
Finally waited for Yan Muheng to finish speaking, Xie Yunmeng saw Yun Yeyao poking his head out of his arms, his beautiful pupils overflowing with tears, and the criminal police rushed up with an arrow, hugged the person back into his arms, and examined his wounds.
And Yun Yeyao was like a wooden man at the moment, at the mercy of the criminal police, and after a long time, he muttered a sentence: "Xiao Meng, go to the brown tower, it's time to crack the triple blood house there, I think I won't be wrong again this time." ”
Without asking, Xie Yunmeng looked up and said to Yan Muheng as if he had a heart in his heart, "Boy, let us out." ”
"Well, you'll have to hand people over to me to get out, because you're going to take the risk for them." Yan Muheng's expressionless words made Yun Yeyao gasp and look at his face instantly.
Liu Qiao Pu was also surprised, Yan Muheng continued: "The only person here who has the strength to destroy the mechanism is Officer Xie, and besides, I can also tell you one thing, after the sand mechanism is activated, even if Liu Hang leaves through other entrances and exits, it will be useless." ”
"You mean all the entrances and exits are sealed?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
"No, there is one, but Liu Hang will definitely not leave that place, because they have to pass outside, and their current condition, they will freeze after a few minutes in the snow, I said, the grandson of the old criminal policeman is not stupid, so even if he finds it, he will not choose to go out from there."
"I have a good idea here, it just depends on whether Officer Xie is willing to take the risk."
"No, he can't take any chances." The voice of refusal came from Yun Yeyao, and Mr. Actor grabbed Xie Yunmeng tightly, as if he already knew what method Yan Muheng was referring to.
Xie Yunmeng didn't hesitate, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I hope you don't lie to me." ”
As if he understood their conversation, the door actually opened from the outside, this time it was not Yan Muheng's hands and feet, but Liu Hang returned here with a few people.
Liu Hang's first sentence standing outside the door confirmed Yan Muheng's statement: "I can't get out, and the entrance and exit in the tower are also blocked." ”
The third man immediately put on a treacherous appearance and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly. After saying that, he bypassed the two people in front of him and walked by himself.
The two men in a panic began to speak again.
"Oops! I'm scared to death, do you think he's going to sue that guy, if he suspects us of doing something, he'll be in trouble. ”
"Probably not, he said it, that guy doesn't necessarily believe it, besides, it's not certain whether he himself is a murderer, why doubt us?"
"That's right, but in case of suspicion, it's hard to say clearly, not to mention that now everyone is in a sensitive mood, we can't be wronged."
"Don't worry, I believe that Mr. Yun will not harm us."
This was the end of the conversation, and although the last person to speak spoke in a positive tone, the expression on his face was as uneasy as the other's.
——
Liu Hang took a few people back to the middle of the hexagonal hall, at this time, Sister Wang and the cook followed closely behind him, behind them was Lu Haoyu, while Tao Muqing and Xia Tomato fell at the back of the line, and the two little girls snuggled together, looking uneasy.
Let's wait a minute, Liu Hang walked alone towards the entrance and exit, he wanted to check first, why couldn't the movable wall there move, if it was sand, why didn't the sand fall downstairs?
And he also wanted to figure out a question, not far away, why did the people upstairs find that this road is impassable, and didn't immediately call the downstairs to ask for help?
Liu Hang didn't ask this question, but wanted to confirm it himself, and walked to the seam between the floors, he touched the ground with his hand, it was very wet, and he could feel the sand rolling in the palm of his hand.
It seems that Yan Muheng is right, the sand has indeed flowed here. Liu Hang withdrew his hand and pushed the part of the wall that could be moved, the mechanism here was all controlled by the movement of the wall, and the floor was also moved with the wall.
After pushing hard a few times, the wall did not move at all, and this time, Liu Hang no longer wasted time, and shouted loudly downstairs: "Officer Zhang, can you hear me?" ”
"Officer Mei! Answer me when you hear it. ”
"It's useless, we all shouted just now, and there was no response." Tao Muqing, who was at the end, said, she and Xia Tomato moved a little to the side, looking at Liu Hang, Lu Haoyu should have covered their sight just now.
To sum up, coupled with the vague description of past events in the previous chapters, let's first roughly restore a more reasonable truth, please forget the current story development first, and follow my description into the past events.
The real derivation of the past is in the second half of chapter 12, where I describe a lazy, lonely, resentful hostess who hides in her room, who gets up very early in the morning, and then stands by the bed thinking about her thoughts, pulling out everything she remembers and chewing alone.
We can learn some facts from the thoughts of the hostess: first of all, the house she loves, and why, because she feels that the house is the only thing that will always accompany her and will not leave. Therefore, the possibility that the hostess Ancy wants to destroy the house because of the murder does not exist, and it is impossible for a person to destroy the only important thing that can accompany him forever.
Secondly, she affirmed that the house was transferred to her name when her father An Ze was alive, and in her drawer, there was a large stack of documents, which were the wills left by An Ze, and until now, these wills have not appeared, so if Anqian doesn't tell the truth, it may be that she is protecting the content of these wills from being made public.
Next, there are two points that are inconsistent with the facts investigated by the detective later, first, when An Ze wanted to keep the house in Anqian's name, the family did not agree, who did this family refer to? The house was built exactly 15 years ago, and according to Anze's diary, they had no relatives, and the family could only count the self-proclaimed adopted daughter of the cook, except for her mother.
But what qualifications does the cook have to have a lot of inheritance with Annsie? Moreover, Anxi's mother had already run away from home before the house was built, and she was not willing to go home at all, nor would she fight with her daughter for the property rights of the house.
So the family here represents someone who has not yet been identified, and someone who is related to Anqian, of course, this person is next to the criminal police, although it is difficult to determine who it is, but the young people can rule it out, we just need to focus on the elderly.
The second father, An Ze, loves Anqian very much, and this matter is not reflected in An Ze's books and diaries, as well as the diaries of the hostess and housekeeper found by Yun Yeyao, but is contrary to the statement. But nothing is as true as Ansie's memories alone, so this may be another reason why she is desperate to protect the truth.
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
