Chapter 324 The Stage of Crime - Cheng Chu Chapter 7
"I didn't see the body at the murder scene in the hotel, so I didn't feel too much horror about the murder. However, on the first night of entering the Bird's House, I had to face Hong Ke's corpse solidly, which was undoubtedly a test for me, a test to overcome fear. ”
"I'm afraid that Hong Huijian will kill me, but I'm even more afraid that I will be arrested and shot by you for murder, because Hong Huijian can at least hold a little luck there, and you here, I know that once I find out, I won't even have a chance to get lucky. So, I decided to help Hong Huijian complete his plan, protect myself as much as possible in the process, or use certain things to make Hong Huijian soft-hearted. But I don't know what can make this demon soft-hearted, so I can only take it one step at a time. ”
"It was a very laborious task to bring Hong Ke's body into the secret room, because at that time, Liang Yongxin and the maid had already lived in the house, and the unknown maid walked back and forth in the house every day, and she would clean up until late at night, so I could only wait until the second half of the night to do it. I thought it was strange at first that Hong Huijian hid Hong Ke's body outside the window of the small gray room on the second floor, but when he told me why he did it and how to transport the body into the secret room from outside the small gray room, I thought it was natural. ”
"It turns out that the gray room was not designed for people to live in the first place, but another secret entrance, Hong Huijian once told me that a secret entrance on the first floor is not the basement in the storage room, but on the balcony of the bedroom on the first floor. There, the rectangular balcony perimeter security net can be lifted like a lid. I saw Hong Huijian operate it once, it was very simple, knock loose the wooden bolts that were stuck in the window frame one by one, and then push them out directly. It's like opening a huge box lid. ”
"If you ask me if I can open it alone, the answer is yes, don't look at it that big and it looks very heavy. In fact, when pushed out, it is not as heavy as expected, and I don't think it is much heavier than the cover plate at the entrance of the secret room on the second floor. Although the colors and textures are all camouflaged identically, once you use them, you will immediately know that the wood on both sides is completely different. The small cover of the secret room on the second floor and all the outdoor road nets are made of iron sandalwood, while the balcony of the bedroom on the first floor is simply disguised as iron sandalwood, and I guess it is still hollow. ”
"However, none of the people who entered the house after that noticed it, and now that I think about it, if I hadn't been so greedy for money, and hadn't been so afraid of being arrested by the police, I should have told them the entrance and exit on the first day before they were tricked into going up to the second floor, and at least then my charges would not have been as serious as they are now. I really regret not doing that. Because at that time I had a chance. ”
"Forget it, it's useless to regret it now, I'd better explain the mistakes I made! In the second half of the night on May 1, after the maid left and Liang Yongxin fell asleep, I started to act. I tried to take my steps as lightly as possible so as not to wake Liang Yongxin. In fact, Hong Huijian gave me a bottle of special sleeping pills before, and I guess that the drugs were infiltrated in it, and the effect would be so obvious. But Hong Huijian insisted that there was no, so I didn't want to ask too much. Why didn't I have sleeping pills in the bottle I used on Liang Yongxin? I don't know, maybe it's because he's sleeping deeply, or maybe it's because I can't get down when I see that face that's exactly like my own. ”
"I've always been afraid to get close to Liang Yongxin, and I don't dare to meet him face to face, I don't know why? I was jealous of what he had and afraid that he would find out or see me, and this ambivalence haunted me. Alas! Maybe it's really like you say, it's the blood relationship that is causing trouble, but now that I think about it, I hurt him at the same time, but I actually didn't feel good in my heart. ”
"While Liang Yongxin was asleep, I climbed down from the beams of the house, of course, from the beams of the red room. Oh, by the way, Hong Huijian has sneaked in and done some tricks there before, you probably don't know yet, right? The carpet in that room is double-layered. The upper layer is a real cashmere carpet that is thicker, and the lower layer is an imitation of man-made fibers, which Hong Hui learned from his father Hong Ke, as if he also stole a drawing or something, but I don't know where he hid the drawing, maybe it was destroyed. ”
"Before Liang Yongxin moved into the house, Hong Huijian sprinkled the animal blood he got on the carpet below, of course, there was some red paint mixed in it, and then there were white brain-like things, I don't know where he got these things, anyway, it looks disgusting."
"The smell of blood, in fact, don't worry too much, the sealing of the carpet above is relatively good, and because the anti-theft net is relatively strong, the windows of the entire Luoque House room are not closed very much, plus on the top of the mountain, the ventilation effect is not generally good, and the faint smell flowing from under the carpet is quickly taken away by the mountain wind, so Liang Yongxin and the maid did not find anything unusual."
"Ahh No, let me think about it...... The maid doesn't seem to be able to approach the red room when she's working, and I'm not sure...... What the? Isn't it important here? Alright then, I'll move on to the matter of Hong Ke's corpse. After coming out of the red room, I slipped straight into the small gray room at the southernmost end of the corridor, and sneaked in in the middle of the night and could barely see my fingers, and I couldn't turn on the lights in the hallway, plus I knew that there was a body hanging outside the window that might have decomposed, I was really scared at that time, and I was afraid to retreat, but I still forced myself to endure it. ”
"It was not difficult to climb up to the small window near the roof, because the single bed at the bottom of the room, covered with gray sheets, had a telescopic ladder hidden in it, and if you pulled it open, you could climb up to the edge of the window. Just open the bed board on the outside side of the single bed, the inside is like a drawer, and when you pull it out, you can get the ladder. Anyway, I climbed to the window without any problems. I thought I would see a terrifying corpse at a glance, but Hong Huijian seemed to be quite thoughtful, I just saw a piece of hemp rope and a sack containing the corpse at the bottom of the hemp rope. ”
"Of course I was relieved, although when I got closer, I still smelled a disgusting stench, but thanks to the dense growth of ivy and rosemary, I couldn't smell it at all when I stood in the small gray room. The opening method of the windows here is the same as that of the balcony of the bedroom on the first floor, and the wood used to make the anti-theft net is real iron sandalwood, but because of the relatively small size, I can barely open it alone. How to open it, I don't think I need to repeat it. ”
"Anyway, I climbed out of the window first, and then clung to the drooping branches of the ivy outside, and Hong Huijian told me to grab a handful of them together, otherwise they would fall. This is the most strenuous part, I stabilized my body with one hand, and went to untie the knot hanging from the sack, because it was stuck to the blood, and it took me more than ten minutes to untie the rope after a few days of air drying. During this time, I was always afraid that the Ivy would suddenly break, so my heart beat like a drum. ”
"After unraveling it, just throw the corpse down, although it is high, there is a thick lawn underneath, and the corpse will not make much noise when it falls to the ground. Then I'll just climb down by myself. How did I get the body back into the vault on the second floor? In fact, it is not complicated, there is a passage into the house in the grove behind the house, and this passage Hong Huijian told me that it is the only way for drug traffickers to enter the house under the mountain, so I should be especially careful when acting. ”
"Why don't you go straight into the chamber from the inside? The house will be found, the white room where Liang Yongxin sleeps is next door to the small gray room, with my physical strength, there is no way to pull the body into the room, and then quietly come down from the simple telescopic ladder on my back, it will definitely make a very loud noise, and this must pass through Liang Yongxin's bedroom door, the risk is too great. ”
"And the passage in the grove behind the house leads directly to the door of the red room, avoiding the white room. I took the body directly into the red room through there, and then hid Hong Ke's body in the secret room through the secret passage on the balcony, as for how to get it back to the roof of the secret room, that was Hong Huijian's business, and he said that he would find a way to solve it later. ”
"On the evening of May 2, when Hong Huijian was looking for Liang Yongxin, he not only brought a strange female corpse full of scratches, but also got Hong Huijian's body on the roof of the secret room according to the plan. Although he told me that Hong had fallen to his death, I could not have believed this in any way. ”[.]
