Chapter 216: The Mystery of Prison Escape (3)
Nie Xiaohu walked to the wooden door and opened the wooden door, inside was a small closet, with a few hoes and shovels placed randomly, as well as a lot of sacks and other things.
"What are these things for, you won't still farm here, will you?" , Nie Xiaohu broke off a small piece of dirt on one of the hoes, twisted it with his fingers, and asked with a smile.
"My lord is laughing!"
Li Bin laughed twice and said, "Your Excellency, you know, this prison is not as good as outside, sometimes there are prisoners who are sick or tortured, but when they are sent here, they are already half dead, so occasionally there will be prisoners who die in the prison.
If the body of a deceased prisoner is not collected by his family, we have to bury it on the spot, and these tools are used to bury the body. ”
"I see, so where are you all burying your bodies?"
"It's in the backyard, behind this prison is a wasteland where the dead prisoners are buried."
Nie Xiaohu nodded, and then asked, "Shen San, what was the situation when Zhou Runchang came to visit the prison last night?" From the moment he came, he said that he must be careful and not leave any detail behind! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Shen Sanyi bowed, first frowned and thought for a while, before he spoke: "Around the ugly hour last night, a person came from outside the gate, and that person was tightly wrapped all over his body, saying that he came to see Zhou Ziang. ”
"Did the man ever tell him who he was?"
"Nope."
"And do you see his face?"
"Neither", Shen San shook his head.
"Then how do you know that he is Zhou Yunchang?"
"I recognize him, although he is very tightly wrapped all over his body, I can still recognize him at a glance, usually those who come to visit the prison at night are dressed like that, for fear of being recognized", Shen San turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hai after speaking.
"That's right, my lord, it's Master Zhou, I also recognize him!" , Zhao Hai hurriedly added.
"Go on."
"Master Zhou gave us ......"
Speaking of this, Shen San paused, smiled awkwardly, and continued: "Then we let him in, he stayed inside for a quarter of an hour in total, this is our rule, you know." ”
"Shen San, let me ask you, when Zhou Runchang entered, who opened the door?" , Nie Xiaohu pointed to the iron gate.
"It's me!" , Shen San said.
"Then you opened the iron door inside, didn't you?"
"Yes!"
"Then when you entered the first-class cell, did you notice that He Furong was still inside?"
"In! I even took a look at her while she was sleeping in bed! ”
"Then after Zhou Runchang entered the second-class cell, were the two iron doors open?"
"No", Shen San shook his head, "After Master Zhou entered, I retreated and locked the two iron doors, and it wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that I opened the door and let Master Zhou out." ”
Nie Xiaohu frowned and thought for a while, and continued to ask: "Then when you led Zhou Runchang into the first-class cell and opened the second iron door, was the iron door behind you open or closed?" ”
"It's open, the door can only be locked from the outside."
"When you led Zhou Runchang in, where was Zhao Hai?"
"My lord, I was outside at the gate, I was afraid that someone in charge would come to check", Zhao Hai laughed dryly twice after speaking.
"Have you been at the gate all this time?"
"It's always been there, until Master Zhou is gone!" , Zhao Hai nodded hurriedly and said.
"Shen San, when you opened the door again and let Zhou Runchang out, did you see He Furong still there?"
"Yes!" , Shen San nodded, "At that time, I took a lantern to her prison, and I saw that she was still asleep in bed!" ”
"Then when you returned outside, did you see He Furong again?"
"Look, I glanced at it when I went out, and she was still lying on the bed."
"And do you see her face clearly?"
"This ......", Shen San frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that I didn't see clearly, the black light in the prison was blind at that time, and the light of the lantern was just a little, I only saw a person lying on the bed, and covered his head with a quilt, who else would it be if it wasn't He Furong?" ”
Nie Xiaohu frowned and thought about it, and then asked Zhao Hai: "Zhao Hai, have you been guarding the gate all along?" ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?"
"No, sir!" , Zhao Hai replied very simply, "I'm guarding the wind at the door, I'm afraid that an official will come to check the night, and there was no movement from the time Master Zhou went in last night until he came out." ”
"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded thoughtfully, then stood up and walked towards the door, Cao Xiaohui and the others followed closely behind.
Nie Xiaohu walked out of the gate, turned the corner of the house, came to the root of the wall on the left side of the prison, looked up, the small window above was the window of the cell where He Furong lived, not far in front of him was a clearing, the ground was covered with wild grass, due to the light rain last night, the ground looked very muddy.
At this time, there was a slender silk thread on the ground not far from the root of the wall that attracted Nie Xiaohu's attention, Nie Xiaohu walked over and picked up the silk thread, the silk thread was three strands, Nie Xiaohu stretched it with his hand, it was relatively strong, and the length was about three meters.
Nie Xiaohu took out the small piece of silk thread found in the cell and compared it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
Nie Xiaohu then walked towards the wasteland, in addition to the half-human-tall weeds, there were more than ten small dirt bags, and there were still a few rows of footprints in and out on the slippery ground.
After observing for a while, Nie Xiaohu turned around and walked back to the door of the cell.
"Tiger Head, I'm back!"
At this moment, Shi Yuning shouted loudly and walked over from the gate of the courtyard with a catcher.
"How?"
Shi Yuning didn't speak, looking at Nie Xiaohu and shaking his head gently.
"Expected", Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly.
"Little Stone, You ......"
Nie Xiaohu whispered a few words in Shi Yuning's ear.
"Got it!" , Shi Yuning agreed, and then called Li Bin aside, and after the two whispered a few words, they left together.
