Chapter 225. [Case 23] The mystery in the box

Previous Chapter

Hu Zongren sneered, did not answer, but turned his head and jumped off the wall. So he and I picked up the box on the floor and began to think about how we could get out. Before leaving, Hu Zongren also picked up the military shovel on the ground and threw it into the wall.

We walked back along the same road, originally promised Hu Zongren, when we found something, I would help take away the road thieves here, it seems that I don't have that time at the moment, so I can only wait to come later. From the very first time we entered the park, we noticed that there were several surveillance cameras between the entrance and the small building of the park management office. Although we have no way of knowing how these four White Lotus Sect guys got in, maybe they were waiting inside before the park closed like us, and since they were waiting for me and Hu Zongren to take the bait, it wasn't impossible. So when Hu Zongren and I walked to the place where we had tea in the afternoon, we could already see the lights at the entrance of the park in the distance, which was probably the only light source in the park at night.

I began to discuss with Hu Zongren how to get out, after all, it is already a suspicious thing that we are here now, and there are no other tourists who can let us go out, and Hu Zongren is still holding such a stupid box in his hand, plus we both have injuries on our bodies, blue noses and swollen faces, but anyone with a little common sense will also know that the two of us must have done nothing good when we came in. Hu Zongren said angrily, otherwise, let's just break out! Anyway, if the people in the management department want to stop us, I'm afraid they can't help it. Hu Zongren's battle seemed to be about to fight again. This guy is full of brute strength, and it seems that he hasn't been angry enough just now. However, what he said is obviously unrealistic, the people in the management office are just performing their job duties, and they have not recruited anyone to provoke anyone, if we start beating people again, then we can't say anything. Hu Zongren asked me in annoyance, what do you say? Why don't you wait here until dawn? What if those guys find a way to break free?

What Hu Zongren said is not impossible, which of the people who do our business is clean? If you don't have a little trick, can you still eat in this business? So I know very well that the four people I and Hu Zongren tied up just now will gradually recover their strength and think of breaking free from the shackles, and the rest is nothing more than to climb out of the courtyard wall again. And we have to get ahead of them, if we let them leave the park before Hu Zongren and me, it will be difficult for us to leave, and we will probably have to squat in the smelly toilet all night.

I've just finished a fight, and I'm still in a state of excitement, and now if I had to think about it, I wouldn't be able to think of it. After a few minutes, Hu Zongren said, Otherwise, when we get to the place of the opening, we are both ready, I will run with the box and rush directly to the door, if someone comes to chase, you say catch the thief, and then you will chase me, so that we can both escape. I couldn't help but laugh and asked him what kind of weird way this is you? Hu Zongren said that there is something strange about that, when I was a child, I went to steal scrap iron with other friends at the construction site behind our house, and I used this trick to escape. I thought about it, although this method is by no means the first choice, and it is really too humiliating, but in the current view, it is the easiest to implement and the easiest to succeed. So I said yes to Hu Zongren, and then the two of us continued to walk forward.

Walking to a place about ten meters away from the mouth of the artificial trail built on the edge of the cliff where we were standing, Hu Zongren lowered his body and observed. If we want to escape, we have to cross the dam in the middle. On one side of the dam is the observation deck, and on the other side is the management office. This must also be done if the park's iron gate is unlocked. However, from my experience of visiting parks over the years, I know that although such parks are free to open to the public, they usually do not lock their doors, even though they are open. Because if someone comes in or out, the people in the management office can find out immediately. Moreover, they have to patrol at night, and the patrol area is not only in the park, but also the fence outside the park, etc., which is always locked, and it is not convenient, and besides, this park is not only stones and flowers, but who will come here to steal things.

In the spirit of gambling, I signaled to Hu Zongren that I was ready. So Hu Zongren nodded, rushed out with the box in his arms, and deliberately made the footsteps loud while running, which was very easy to attract the attention of others in the quiet night. When I ran about 10 meters or so out of Hu Zongren, I also chased after him, although I was injured, but the two of us ran very fast that day, I guess Liu Xiang if he didn't fall, it would be almost at this level. Hu Zongren's footsteps alarmed the people in the management office, and a security guard opened the door, holding a baton in his hand, pointing at Hu Zongren and asking loudly, what are you doing! Hu Zongren ignored him and rushed towards the iron gate by himself. The security guard was about to chase Hu Zongren, and I began to interfere with him, and I shouted loudly, Master, be careful, this is a murderer!

Hu Zongren must have hated me very much for changing my lines without authorization and turning a thief into a murderer, and the nature was immediately different. Sure enough, when I heard the word murderer, the security guard immediately stopped chasing him, and I took this opportunity to whizz past him, and then turned to him and said to him, go back and hide! When the security guard heard this, he immediately went back to his room. Because Hu Zongren and I put the hat on our coat over our heads when we rushed out, and we were also deliberately avoiding the surveillance cameras that we had already mastered the location, we were not clearly photographed along the way. And Hu Zongren was also very lucky, walked to the door and found that it was just from the inside of the door, so Hu Zongren opened the door and rushed out, I also rushed out, in just ten seconds, we were in front of the security master, staged a classic show of chasing the murderer, but finally escaped, but the four White Lotus Sect guys were not so lucky, because just now I made such a fuss, Hu Zongren knew that the security guard would definitely call the police, and the diagonal opposite of this park is a troop station, There was also a police station nearby, so the next day I heard that the police went to the scene and found the four people, and they all took them back to the police station for a record, but they never confessed to us, and no one knows how they did it.

It is said that after we escaped that night, we fled directly in the direction of Eeling Park, because it was a small road, and there were many forks, and if we wanted to avoid chasing, it was also the closest place to Fotu Pass. We stopped in a small alley to breathe, and then Hu Zongren asked me what to do, should we go back now? I said don't go home yet, don't bring these dangers to our family, let's take a taxi to Situ's house. Hu Zongren said: Situ has already gone to bed, you don't look at what time it is. I said that we should find a hotel near his house and stay for one night first, and bring these things to him and Tie Songzi tomorrow, and then we will see what to do next. Hu Zongren nodded, and then said to me, That's fine, at least, Xuanyuan will let us stop the people of the White Lotus Sect, and we can be regarded as stopping.

The road below Eeling is directly leading to Liziba, and there are many food stalls on this road, many of which are even open all night, so taking a taxi is not a problem at all. In the taxi, Hu Zongren and I basically didn't say anything, probably silently recalling what had happened so quickly in the previous few hours. And after people calm down, they will become sensitive to other senses, Hu Zongren kept rubbing the back of his head and said that it hurts, and he has a bag. When he said this, my head hurt. Facing the light, I saw that the bottom of Hu Zongren's nose and lips were cracked, the blood had already flowed out and was scabbed, and there were blood stains between his teeth. It was already about 3 o'clock in the morning when I arrived at Situ's house, and I found a hotel to stay in, Hu Zongren and I couldn't even lift our spirits about the things in the box, and we didn't wash up, we didn't take off our clothes, and we fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I found that Situ had called me a lot, so I called him back and told him that we were near his house and asked him to come to the hotel where we were staying, after all, Hu Zongren was unkempt and carried a big suitcase, so it was easy to attract the attention of others wherever he went. I especially told Situ to call Master Tie Songzi together, and I want to show you something. It didn't take long for Situ to come, and Hu Zongren also woke up. Before we opened the box, we told Situ in detail everything that happened last night, so that Situ could judge whether the box should be opened or not, after all, among all the people present, he had the most experience in this area. Situ thought for a while and said, open it, it should be fine, those earthworms are just guarding the contents of this box. Earthworms belong to the earth, and the earth is golden, and the things in this box must be metal, otherwise there is no way to keep it for so long, so don't worry about opening it.

I nodded to Hu Zongren, after all, it was all because of him. Hu Zongren opened the box, and it was the first time I had seen the contents of the box so closely. Inside is a small long box, how to say, it looks like a stationery box used when I was a child. There is a lid, the small box is welded together with the large box, Hu Zongren reached out and opened the lid of the box, there is a layer of tarpaulin at the place of the seam, which is probably prepared to increase the air pressure inside the small box and prevent the things outside from corroding. In the small box, it is a small bag with a shape similar to the box, but it is a small bag with a fabric texture, Hu Zongren picked up the bag and took out the contents of the bag, I found out that it was a small stick cast in pure copper, which was the thing that Lei Zhenzi held in the hand of the old man Liang's portrait before, Situ said, this is Guduo.

There was a chain on the handle of the bone, and the chain was also pure copper, but it was broken. This shows that there should have been something on the other end of the chain, and if I guessed correctly, it should have been a pure copper judge's pen. Hu Zongren took the bone in his hand and looked over and over again, and I noticed that there was a lotus notch on the handle, which was neat and standardized, just like the lotus I took back earlier. Hu Zongren played with it for a while and said, Speaking of which, they are looking for the holy relics of the sect, and this thing is artificially separated, I don't know where the judge's pen is now, if it is done, it is estimated that something big will happen, fortunately, let's find it...

Before he could finish this sentence, Hu Zongren suddenly straightened his hands and feet, tilted his head, first fell to the bed, then fell to the ground, and began to convulse continuously. We were so frightened that we all went up and wanted to pull Hu Zongren up, but at this moment, Hu Zongren's strength was surprisingly great, and we couldn't hold it down at all. Situ asked me to grab his hand, so I pressed his wrist hard, but there was a hot feeling from his wrist, to be precise, a little hot, so I couldn't help but take my hand away and look at it, and found that on Hu Zongren's wrist, the black mark before gradually changed from black to red in front of my eyes.
