Chapter 406: The Secret That Died Once Upon a Time (16)
"Well, do you have any impressions?"
As soon as their car stopped, Jiang Li was the first to get out of the car, standing in the middle of the courtyard and looking around, looking at the gray cement building in front of him in distraction. Mao Daxin leaned over and asked, "Do you have an impression?" ”
Jiang Li shook his head.
Jiang Qiao and Ah Moon also got out of the car, the orphanage looked to be in disrepair, not even the front gate was locked, and the open space where they were standing now was covered with thick fallen leaves. It was quiet in the orphanage, not a sound could be heard, and there was no sign of anything else on the ground except them.
"There is no one to pull this orphanage anymore?" Ah Moon opened his mouth and complained: "The boss didn't say a word just now. ”
"Perhaps, it's not that the boss doesn't say it, but even the boss doesn't know." Jiang Qiao said.
On the way here, she found that the road leading from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside orphanage was backed by a mountain on one side and faced by the sea on the other, and the road was quite wide at the beginning for safety, enough for two cars to go forward in the same row, and there were some houses on the side of the road, the more you went up, the narrower the road became, and gradually, the two lanes became one lane, and the weeds on the side of the road grew higher and higher, blocking the sight of the people in the car tightly. And the further back you go, the more twists and turns the road becomes, and at the end there is a big corner of 360° almost ten meters.
"The road is so narrow and so steep, but there is no sign to be careful about dangerous driving. It shows that no one usually walks this road at all. Jiang Qiao said.
"It also says another thing." Ah Moon continued: "Our guess just now is not wrong, this orphanage is deliberately far away from the crowd and the city, such a road is not suitable for people to come to the orphanage often." ”
Jiang Qiao glanced at Ah Moon, and the two of them seemed to have thought of a piece.
"I agree with this, you don't know that this road makes me sweat profusely, for fear of the opposite car, in this cliff, if there is a car on the opposite side, I really can't hide, I can only rush down the cliff, let's push the cart down later...
"What did you just say?" Jiang Qiao suddenly interrupted Mao Daxin's words.
"Push the cart down..." Mao Daxin smiled: "Don't worry, I'm joking." I won't let you guys really push the cart to pull. ”
"It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence." Jiang Qiao said seriously.
"In the last sentence, I can't hide... Mao Daxin wondered.
"I think I know what they built the orphanage here for." Jiang Qiao muttered to himself.
"Huh? What the? Mao Daxin and Ah Moon looked at each other and looked at Jiang Qiao puzzled.
"Maybe it's not the people on the outside that they want to guard against, but the people inside themselves." Jiang Qiao squinted, also looked at the gray building, and said.
"You mean, to prevent the people in the orphanage from leaving? Yes, there is this possibility, there is no fork in the road here, there are cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, there are no people to hide, and it is so winding and twisting that it must be more difficult to go down the mountain. Ah Moon nodded and continued to analyze: "If you want to talk about the orphanage... Isn't that just to prevent kids from stealing? If it's an orphanage, the children finally have a place to take them in, why steal it?! ”
Jiang Qiao nodded, she and Ah Moon thought of going together.
"Jiang Li, where are you going?" After listening to Jiang Qiao's analysis, Mao Daxin felt that it was very reasonable, and he wanted to discuss it with Jiang Li, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, he saw Jiang Li walking alone into the gray building, so he had to follow quickly.
Seeing this, Jiang Qiao and Ah Moon also followed closely behind, Jiang Qiao suddenly felt that Ah Moon was pulling the corners of her clothes, she turned her head, only to see Ah Moon frowning, and said with an embarrassed face: "Don't you think this building looks weird?" ”
"Weird?"
Jiang Qiao slowed down and looked at the gray building along Ah Moon's line of sight, this three-story building should be the main building of the orphanage, the style of the building is very strange, neither the style of the bungalow tulou of the Xiatan family, nor the Western-style buildings in other places, just a monotonous cement building, no other decoration, built with cement to be square, angular and angular, looking up from the ground, like a square box with a few holes dug, giving people a cold sense of alienation.
"It's like a prison." Amoon muttered to himself.
Jail... Jiang Qiao looked up again, but found a figure running through a window, Jiang Qiao was startled, looked carefully, but there was nothing, and muttered to himself: "Don't scare yourself, no one has lived here for so long, it will definitely be stained with dirty things." ”
"What are you muttering, hurry up, Jiang Li is almost gone." Mao Daxin was at the staircase not far away, beckoning to them.
Jiang Qiao answered, and walked over quickly with Ah Moon. The three of them walked up the stairs, only to find that Jiang Li's figure had long since disappeared.
"What about people?" Mao Daxin looked at the staircase on the second floor, the dust on the ground was very thick, there were no footprints on it, it was obvious that Jiang Li had skipped this floor directly, he looked up, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why are you walking so fast, let's see together!" ”
That being said, Mao Daxin still went up one more floor along the stairs, and a series of footprints finally appeared on the third floor, and the footprints followed the corridor and led straight to the dark depths.
"What's going on with Jiang Li, just go inside alone, and don't wait for us." Ah Moon complained.
Jiang Qiao answered: "Could it be because he saw something, so he followed." ”
"No way." Mao Daxin anxiously explored the way in front and stopped at the end of the corridor, and in front of him was a wall.
Jiang Qiao and Ah Moon caught up breathlessly, looked around in wonder, and said, "No way?" What about Jiang Li? ”
"Call him." Mao Daxin took out the phone from his pants and said in surprise: "What's the matter, there is no signal here?!" ”
Jiang Qiao and Ah Moon also took out their mobile phones and walked to a window, and sure enough, there was still no service.
"Jiang Li must still be here, let's look for it, there may be another way." Jiang Qiao proposed, and as she spoke, she took a few steps to the side, and gently tapped on the wall as she looked in the TV.
Mao Daxin smiled: "Oh, the technique is very professional, hahaha, I also know that the hollow is not hollow, how can it be behind the wall, where there is not even a seam, it is impossible to be behind... There is a way ... How could it be! ”
Mao Daxin's smiling face was quickly replaced by a surprised expression, where Jiang Qiao knocked, there were really two completely different sounds, Jiang Qiao hurriedly beckoned them to come over, Mao Daxin got closer and found that there was really an inconspicuous crack on the wall, but under the refraction of light, if you don't stick it and look at it carefully, you can't see it.
The three of them touched left and right for a long time, but they still couldn't find any mechanism. Jiang Qiao kicked the root of the wall in frustration, and a brick shattered.
It was a hollow brick.
