Chapter 304: The Stage of Crime - Cheng Chu Chapter 5
"After I left the Arden Hotel on May 1st, I sneaked into the secret room of the Roquehouse and hid. At that time, the owner of the house, Liang Yongxin, and the maid were already living in it, because the closed nature of the secret room was very good, so Liang Yongxin didn't find that there was a corpse and a big living person hidden next to the place where he slept, but on the night of May 1, I slept on the ceiling of the room where the corpse was placed, and I really didn't dare to close my eyes for a minute. β
"Fortunately, I brought a lot of dry food, so I didn't starve to death. I finally managed to get through until May 2nd when everyone entered the Luoque House, I was a little relieved, at that time I had come out of the passage that Hong Huijian told me once, I wanted to see what the people in the living room were doing, I always had the idea that Hong Huijian was playing a prank, although I knew it was impossible, but I think my heart has always been like this. β
"The first task was to wait for Hong Huijian's signal, and he told me to open the mechanism at the entrance to the secret room on the second floor after the riot downstairs, but not all of them, just let the handle protrude against the wall. That's another reason why I go to the first floor to check on the situation. β
"Hong Huijian doesn't like others to disobey him, especially the people around him, I was financially tight at the time, and the money Jiang Xinglong gave me was gradually not enough to spend, so there was still a trace of luck, I hope Hong Huijian can really leave with me with the money. However, thinking about it now, it was really naΓ―ve at that time. β
"I didn't find that Liang Yongxin went up to the second floor, I didn't even know that he wasn't in the living room on the first floor, I went back to the secret room upstairs after peeping at the situation on the first floor, after all, I am not the person who should exist in the Luoque House, I am afraid that someone will find me, but when I passed by the storage room on the first floor, I heard movement inside, as if it was the footsteps of a person walking, I didn't hear it very really."
"Then a strange thing happened, the time was about six or seven o'clock in the evening of May 2, anyway, after dinner, Hong Huijian suddenly carried a wounded woman's body into the secret room, but it really scared me, when I saw him suddenly appear, I almost turned my back on it, and thought that Hong Huijian was here to kill me, scared to death."
"He asked me to put the female corpse into the small room at the bottom of the secret passage to scare Wei Guigui, and his father's corpse let me hide it above the ceiling of the secret room, at this time, the blood bags to be used later are also ready, I don't understand where he got such a corpse from at all, but from Hong Huijian's eyes when he spoke, I saw a trace of excitement, I felt that he was in this state as if he suddenly got some fun toy, and the whole person was like a ghost."
"No, I didn't ask him what he was doing this, what Hong Huijian didn't say himself, it's useless for you to ask again, and this guy is very angry and terrible, as long as he doesn't come to kill me, I don't want to know so much, and I'm not interested. Hong Huijian seemed to have something urgent, and left immediately after speaking, leaving only the female corpse for me to deal with. β
"Of course I started immediately, I don't need to get out of the secret room to put the female corpse at the bottom of the secret passage, because the ceiling is not fully covered, and there is no roof on the northwest corner and part of the south side close to the secret room, so I pushed the female corpse to the floor below from the gap on the south side, the secret room is very soundproof, and there was no one on the second floor at that time, so I don't have to worry about being heard."
"Oh, by the way, Hong Huijian also gave me a large handful of broken branches of rosemary, saying that it was to spread on top of the corpse to cover up the pungent smell of the female corpse, and I did so, and the disinfectant on the female corpse smelled really strong. My head hurt from the smoke as I moved him. β
"She's been drenched? Yes, yes, that's true, my idea is that maybe Hong Huijian wanted to wash off the blood stains on her body with water, or wash off a little smell, anyway, the female corpse was soaked, and it was possible that she was wet from the rain when she came in from outside...... Well, was there any dirt on the female corpse at that time! I always felt that she looked clean and white, and she was a little shiny. β
"After finishing the work of placing the body, it didn't take long for me to hear the voice of Wei Guigui and his wife talking from the bottom of the secret passage, and Wei Guigui seemed to have tripped over the handle at the entrance, cursing. Seeing that they were about to enter the second floor, I quickly exited the entrance and returned to the secret room. β¦β¦ Why didn't you go back to the ceiling? This is due to the fact that after coming down from the top of the chamber, you have to climb up the top beam of the red or white room again from the outside of the entrance detour to get back to it, and there is no ladder inside the chamber to climb up to the ceiling. And I can't turn on the lights even if I'm hiding inside. β
"I just sat on the floor of the big room in the secret room and waited for them to come in, I was really nervous, because the time to kill was coming soon, although it was not my time to kill, but I was an accomplice, and I knew very well that once Hong Huijian was killed, I would not be able to get out of it."
"Well, what did Hong Huijian look like when he came in before, let me think about it...... Hong Huijian's clothes were wet, from head to toe, and there seemed to be mud on his body. I can't be sure, because it was very dark on the roof of the secret room at that time, and when Hong Huijian climbed in, he only saw his head, shoulders, knees, etc., and his hair was dripping all the time...... There was no wound on the face, there really wasn't at that time. I couldn't see it clearly on my chest and abdomen, but I didn't think so, he was still carrying a corpse on his back, and he didn't have a painful expression at all. β
"I didn't see Wei Guigui and Fan Xin'er entering the secret passage, I just kept listening to the movement outside in the big room of the secret room, well, after waiting for more than twenty minutes, I heard a dull sound, bang, probably a person fell, very heavy. Then there was Wei Guigui's intermittent voice calling for help, as well as the sound of crawling, which was very messy, and Wei Guigui's voice for help at that time didn't know why it was very weak, as if his throat was broken. β
"He seemed to be trying to escape the passage, and I heard the sound of the entrance to the passage shut, the wooden planks there were very heavy, I tried to open the mechanism, and I could barely lift it with all my might, but I don't know if it would be easier to close. Anyway, Wei Precious is finished. β
Cheng Chu said this, shrunk half of his face under the white quilt and sighed, it could be seen that he regretted it very much.
After half a ring, he continued to speak, but this time he was talking about Fan Xin'er's death.
"I only know now that Fan Xin'er hasn't done anything bad, she just believes in Wei Guigui too much, and everything goes along with him, which will cause this result. Do you know, Hong Huijian has teased me more than once how much Wei Guigui likes his wife, I think if Fan Xin'er can be tougher, maybe he can control Wei Guigui and not die so miserably. β
"I didn't cut off Fan Xin'er's head, but I didn't want to shirk my responsibility, Hong Huijian handed me a thin rope made of fishing line, and asked me to tie it at the base of Fan Xin'er's neck. It was made by twisting several strands of transparent and slender fishing line together, and he also told me the purpose, just to twist Fan Xin'er's head. Therefore, in terms of Fan Xin'er's death, I am also half a murderer. β
"I injected the sleeping potion in Wei Guigui's body, and after he fell into a coma due to suffocation, I also injected Fan Xin'er with a little sleeping potion to prevent her from waking up halfway. Then I left Wei Gui alone in the secret passage, where no one would find out for the time being. β
"After pulling Fan Xin'er into the red room, I turned on the projector that Hong Huijian hid on the main beam of the red room in advance, it was a very high-end projector, I couldn't name the brand at all, anyway, Hong Huijian said that he had tried many times before, and there was no problem in turning the red room into a temporary blood house, the problem was that after deceiving everyone's eyes for the first time, the second time it had to be true, so I had to deal with the transformation of the second room, and I must not make a mistake."
"The first time, my only job was to lean the unconscious Fan Xin'er against the door of the red room, very close to the door frame, so that people couldn't notice it immediately when they entered the door. The two hanging corpses in the room at that time were also fictional. In order to figure out whether the projector can do what he imagined, Hong Huijian also deliberately learned this knowledge for a long time. β
