Chapter 115 Life hangs by a thread
Chapter 308: The Stage of Crime - Cloth and Chapter 16
(I'm sorry readers, because of the negligence of the author of this chapter, I uploaded the 115th chapter of the Legend of the Fire Ghost here, and the title can't be changed, only the content can be modified, I'm really sorry!) )
Bian Benyi's suspicion on the stairs made everyone even more flustered, in fact, Hong Huijian also heard the creaking sound of the wooden floor of the living room on the first floor, which must have been the sound made by Fei Gu when he stood up.
"Is Fei Gu awake downstairs? Or the sound of the upstairs guards, in short, the lights up and down are on, and there are eight of us here, what are we afraid of! Don't scare yourself. Hong Huijian remained silent, said deliberately, and secretly signaled to He Mina on the side to knock on the side together.
He Mina really deserves to be a 'good actor', her vivid trembling appearance makes people feel that she is really frightened, she said to Bian Benyi in a trembling voice: "Uncle, don't scare us......"
At this time, Hong Huijian still stared at Luo Yifan's every move with the corner of his eyes, although this man was calm on the surface, but his eyes looking at the door of the stairs on the first floor also showed his nervousness, this is exactly the result that Hong Huijian wanted, the more flustered Luo Yifan's heart is, the better, it is best to have the kind of panic that cannot be concealed in order for him to realize the fear that Hong Huijian wants to suppress for him.
Although there has been no real murder yet, after two consecutive disappearances (one of which is not controlled by Hong Huijian), it is enough for them to panic and feel scared, in this mood, it is very suitable for Hong Huijian to carry out follow-up actions, go up to the second floor to find a way to get out of everyone, this timing must be controlled, and it must be after Fan Xin'er's beheading magic, so that he can have enough alibi when Fan Xin'er dies.
He Mina must also leave the team after that, Hong Huijian decided to temporarily protect Fan Xin'er before she died, after all, He Mina still has a lot of use in the future operation.
Of course, there is nothing in the stairwell and the small gray room, but this is limited to the range of human eye level, the window of the small gray room is open at the edge of the roof, very high, and the inside of this room is narrow and dark, Hong Huijian felt that one of Luo Yifan or Jiang Xinglong would definitely take a look into this room, but to his surprise, none of them looked into the small gray room, but directly entered the white 'Angel House'.
Yes, Hong Huijian compared the white room 'white snow' to the 'angel's house', because this is Liang Yongxin's favorite bedroom, more than once, Hong Huijian secretly hid on the beam of the secret room and watched this person who was as clear as a spring in a daze, for more than ten years, he was thinking about this moment, just for the afterglow of love at first sight.
Hong Huijian, who fell at the back of the line, glanced into the small gray room, everyone thought that he was looking to see if there was anyone hiding in the small room, even He Mina thought so, because He Mina didn't know that there had been a murder in advance at the Arden Hotel and in this Luoque House before she came.
On the windowsill at the top of the small gray room, or more precisely, on the skeleton of the security net outside the window, a thick hemp rope was tied, the other end of the hemp rope had been broken, and hung empty on the periphery of the wall of the small gray room, hidden in the dense ivy.
Originally, there was a corpse without a skull, and that was Hong Ke's corpse. However, the corpse was not hung from the inside of the house, but from the outside of the wall of the house, and except for a piece of hemp rope, the rest of the body was covered with dense plants. After killing his father, Hong Huijian hid his body here, and he has been hiding here ever since.
The rain washed away and the gnawing of flying insects made Hong Ke's corpse even more terrifying, the blood was pasted around his head like a gel, and the smell was taken away by the circulating air and the smell of large patches of vanilla, he was hung here because there was a large amount of wild rosemary growing outside the walls here, which could well mask the smell of various things, and the rosemary that Hong Huijian handed over to Cheng Chu to cover the body of the female corpse was also picked from here.
The reason why he hid the corpse here was because he didn't want its smell to permeate the room, Hong Huijian knew that Liang Yongxin would definitely sleep in the white room, so he had to be careful, but he did do it very well, even the maid who used the small gray room to change clothes after the end of the day did not notice that there was a corpse hanging on the outside of the wall above her head.
In two days, he deceived Liang Yongxin and Luo Yun's eyes very well, and then after Cheng Chu arrived, he took Hong Ke's body down and brought it into the secret room on the second floor. Here we have to explain the structure of the windows in this small gray room on the second floor.
It is very simple to hang the corpse, as long as there is a ladder on the inside of the room, at that time, Liang Yongxin and Luo Yun have not yet lived in the Luo Que House, Hong Huijian used the ladder to approach the window of the gray small room, which seems to be closed by a wooden security net, in fact, there are three wooden security nets in this Luo Que House that can be opened like a lid, one of which is the window security net outside the window of this gray small room, and the other two are in the content that we will talk about later.
The security net here does not protrude outward, but is attached to the window. When the window was opened inward, I groped my hand between the burglar net and the bayonet in the wall, and there was a very good movable latch that was very hidden, very small, covered with a small piece of wood, and it was necessary to feel it very carefully.
After touching it, gently pick off the wood chips covering it with your fingernails, there is a little protruding wooden stake inside, and push the wooden stake outward with your fingers, and you can open the security net in this place. The wooden stake is attached to the last skeleton at the bottom of the anti-theft net, and when it is closed, it must be pulled hard to make it snap into the original gap, and the anti-theft net is firmly fixed outside the window.
When you open it, you have to press it outward, so that the wood stake is separated from the gap, so that the anti-theft net can be opened, and all the peripheral wood here is made of iron sandalwood, which is to prevent the joints of each organ from being deformed by moisture, because S City belongs to the southern city, the climate is humid and warm, and it is very easy to deform the wood.
Hong Huijian has always had an idea that iron sandalwood does not grow at all in S City, and the money spent on transporting these pieces of wood from the border should be enough to build several such villas with ordinary wood, which shows how rich the owner of the house was back then, so he has always believed that this Luoque house must have hidden money that he will not be able to spend for the rest of his life.
Where is the money, Fei Gu has been refusing to say, Hong Huijian knows that he is trying to save his life, but now he can't help it, the matter has begun and he will not stop, at most he will force him to say it in the end, this kind of means Hong Huijian has a lot.
To get back to the point, it is indeed possible to hang Hong Ke's body outside the wall of the small gray room, but when Cheng Chu wanted to bring the body in, Liang Yongxin and Luo Yun were already living in the Luo Que House, how could Cheng Chu not be discovered by them?
It is impossible for Cheng Chu to transport the body from the inside of the house to the secret room, this is an indisputable fact, then the only way to do it is from the outside of the house, but the place where Hong Ke's body hangs is at the top of the wall on the second floor, and it is also covered with dense plants, no matter how you think about it, Cheng Chu cannot transport the body into the secret room from this place.
In fact, the method is very simple, the only dangerous step is that Cheng Chu must climb from the inside of the room to the windowsill to the outside, and all actions outside will not be easy to be discovered.
As you may recall, in my previous brief description of the small gray room, I mentioned that there was a single bed covered with gray futon at the bottom of the room, and this bed was stuck at the bottom of this narrow room, and no one could move it to the bottom of the room, but in fact, the bed board of this bed is divided into two layers, the lower layer is an ordinary board bed, and the lower layer hides a folding escalator. The upper and lower floors are so carefully crafted that they look like they fit together on the surface, and they are also locked by special traps, so that there is no way for anyone who does not know the location of the bayonet to take out the folding escalator at the bottom of the cot, even if they live in the house.
Hong Huijian relied on his father's drawings and knew all this well, so Cheng Chu only had to hide on the roof of the secret room in advance, peep at the movements of Liang Yongxin and Luo Yun, and sneak into the small gray room to take out the folding escalator while the two of them were not there, and after taking out the folding escalator, as long as the lower bed board was re-covered, he would not see that anyone had moved, and then climbed from the window to the outdoors with the help of the ladder, of course, the ladder would also be pulled outdoors by him to hide.
After the Luoque House was fully opened, the police found this ladder from among the plants, and Cheng Chu's confession would also carefully describe his actions in this period, so let's sell a pass here, and let him tell us about Cheng Chu's specific actions, this chapter belongs to Hong Huijian, so let's continue Hong Huijian's thoughts and actions.
The purpose of Hong Huijian's probe into the small gray room to take a look was to confirm whether the remaining hemp rope had been hidden after Cheng Chu took away the body, and whether the small bed at the bottom of the room had been restored to its original state.
Pretending to be nothing, Hong Huijian followed up the white room, and everyone entered the white room to listen to the maid Li Song Weiyi (Luo Yun) recount the strange events that happened when she secretly returned. Hong Huijian naturally knew that the person Li Song Weiyi saw who looked exactly like the owner of the house was Cheng Chu, and he also knew very well why Cheng Chu appeared there at that time, all of this was done in accordance with Hong Huijian's orders.
But the other person, the person who Li Song Wei didn't see his face but heard the sound of footsteps, aroused Hong Huijian's vigilance, according to Cheng Chu's action time at that time, Hong Huijian could be sure that Cheng Chu would never appear twice in a row at that time, so, who would this extra person be?
According to the direction of his actions, it could only be from the basement, and Hong Huijian firmly believed that the exit structure of the bedroom on the first floor was complex and could not be opened by an unfamiliar person. Cheng Chu stays in the secret room on the second floor most of the time, and it is impossible for strangers to enter, so he must investigate the basement carefully after that to see if there are any additional 'rats' mixed in.
Therefore, X's accidental death was already doomed at this time, and it was Li Song Weiyi's words that made Hong Huijian find an opportunity to sneak into the basement and find X, so Fei Gu's discovery that X was killed in advance was definitely not a coincidence, but a foreshadowing was laid in advance.
