07 Walk through the deep prison and hear bad news

Xie Yixiang cheered up, but saw that there was nothing unusual around, it was still a swarthy ashlar passage, with burning torches on both sides, Gao Baichuan had already shown the sterling silver key in his palm, inserted it into the stone wall next to him and slowly rotated, followed by a low sound. Accompanied by www.biquge.info the dust falling from the stone wall, a secret door about two feet wide slowly rose from the stone wall, revealing a half-human-high gap in the place.

It turned out that the cells of the fifth-floor prison were actually constructed like this, hiding them behind the stone walls of the passage. If Gao Baichuan hadn't opened the door, he really wouldn't have seen the difference in the stone wall here, let alone guessed that there would be a prison cell here. I saw Gao Baichuan casually pull out a torch near the wall, bend down and get in from under the secret door. Xie Yixiang was about to follow, when suddenly her heart moved, and a strange feeling rose inexplicably.

Is there anything wrong with this trip to the Heavenly Prison today? Xie Yixiang's mind spun rapidly, and he thought carefully about the things before and after, but he didn't find anything. Seeing the faint light of Gao Baichuan's torch shining in the secret door, she thought to herself: "Most likely I am finally about to see this "Rainy Night Man Slaughter" Shi Tianxiang, who is outside the cell at the moment, is already close at hand, so I have a strange feeling." ”

I think it was because I had just listened to Gao Baichuan's gossip, and the "Rainy Night Man Slaughter", which I had originally placed great hopes on, actually dimmed unconsciously, but it was the mysterious master who Zhuang Haoming and Gao Baichuan both agreed that was far superior to the "Rainy Night Man Slaughter", which made me even more curious at this moment.

Xie Yixiang hurriedly shook his head, put all these distracting thoughts behind him, and said secretly: "No matter how capable these people are, after all, they are heinous criminals who are responsible for bloody crimes, although I, Xie Yixiang, can't stand up to the sky, but what I do is also have a clear conscience, why should I care about these people?"

Hearing Gao Baichuan in the cell whispering to himself to enter, Xie Yixiang took a deep breath at the moment, and finally stepped forward quickly, bent down through the secret door, and secretly thought in his heart: "I am bent on avenging the deceased this time, so I turn to the prison for felons, I hope this 'Rainy Night Man Slaughter' really has the ability to solve the case as Uncle Zhuang said, and the assistant torture room will arrest the face-tearing demon." ”

Xie Yixiang followed Gao Baichuan through the secret door at the moment, but inside was a spacious stone house, about a few zhang square; a low bed made of stones was built against the wall, far from the door, and there were several moldy rotten wooden bowls on the east and west sides; through the torch in Gao Baichuan's hand, it was vaguely seen that a person was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed with his head down, his hands and feet were locked by iron chains the thickness of eggs, and they were linked to the stone wall behind him; this person was wearing three or four tattered old clothes, with coagulated blood clots.

Xie Yixiang took a deep breath, knowing that this was the main person she was going to see today, and just as she didn't know how to speak, Gao Baichuan beside her lit another bag of dry tobacco with the torch in his hand, pointed to the person on the bed, swallowed the clouds and said with mist: "This is Mr. Shi Tianxiang Shi, the 'Rainy Night Man Slaughter'." ”

Xie Yixiang saw that Shi Tianxiang was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed without the slightest reaction, neither replying, nor making any movement in his body, he couldn't help frowning slightly, took two steps cautiously, and said respectfully: "Xie Yixiang, the junior torture and arrest room, has come to meet the seniors." ”

The "Rainy Night Man Slaughter" Shi Tianxiang didn't seem to hear her question at all, and there was still no movement. Xie Yixiang saw his long gray hair hanging down in front of his face, covering most of his face, and he couldn't figure out his intentions for a while, so he changed his tone at the moment, and said a little toughly: "I am here to visit Your Excellency by the order of Zhuang Haoming, the chief arrest of Fang Fang. Gao Baichuan also shouted angrily on the side: "The surname is Shi, you don't show off your majesty here, believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut off your food and water?"

However, Shi Tianxiang still ignored it, and didn't even move his fingers. Xie Yixiang was suspicious in her heart, and suddenly smelled a strong rancid odor, which came from Shi Tianxiang's body. She was shocked, reached out and snatched the torch from Gao Baichuan's hand, and walked to the stone bed with bated breath.

But under the shaking firelight, Shi Tianxiang on the stone bed lowered his head, and a scorched face was faintly revealed under his long loose hair, his face was full of pitted holes, and several yellow-green liquids were like melted candles, solidified around his cheeks in a drooping posture; through the holes in his prison clothes, his shriveled skin was densely covered with large and small black spots, and a few unknown insects were wriggling. She saw a lot of corpses in the torture room, and looking at this scene, the person in front of her had been dead for at least more than a month.

Gao Baichuan also saw it, and said in a trembling voice in surprise: "This, this...... How did this guy die?" he swallowed the smoke, shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I can't imagine that Shi Tianxiang will spend his whole life and finally die in obscurity in this black prison, which is really sad and lamentable, and even a little ridiculous. As he spoke, he took two steps and brushed away the long hair on Shi Tianxiang's forehead with the dry tobacco stick in his hand, and suddenly revealed a festering face. I saw that the skin on the cheekbones of the cheeks was cracked, revealing a burnt yellow bone, and a few milky white insects seemed to be disturbed, and hurried into their eye sockets.

Gao Baichuan pointed to the burnt yellow on the corpse's face, and said expressionlessly: "Can't be wrong, this is indeed Shi Tianxiang's corpse, and the scar on his face was injured by the master of the Divine Fire Sect when the heroes were in dispute and the world was undecided." ”

Xie Yixiang was silent, her two light eyebrows had been twisted into a knot, and she shook her head in frustration. Unexpectedly, I let go of the so-called obsession in my heart and came to the depths of the prison to seek advice from this evil man, but in the end it was such a result. If, according to Zhuang Haoming, what he lost was "virtue", but what did he gain now?

Now that the criminal arrest room is unwilling to intervene in this case, the only hope in front of him has been dashed, looking at the entire capital, who else can help him arrest the face-tearing demon and avenge those deceased? Xie Yixiang closed her eyes slightly, and suddenly the picture after the murder of the Burmese Rong appeared, but in this situation, what should she do?

Could it be that there is finally something that he has to give up? Xie Yixiang felt hopeless for the first time.

Gao Baichuan next to him saw Xie Yixiang distracted, and sighed secretly, he reached out and patted Xie Yixiang's shoulder, and said softly: "Nine times out of ten, if life is unsatisfactory, Miss Xie San doesn't have to care too much." Even if it is a great difficulty, it will eventually turn into a breeze with the passage of time. When you look back at this moment, you will find that there is nothing in this world that is worth worrying about yourself at the moment. ”

Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned when she heard this, and chewed his words carefully. Gao Baichuan sighed again, and said with a smile: "No matter what, the deceased is gone, let's leave first, and it's not too late to talk about it in detail." ”

Xie Yixiang nodded, glanced at the corpse of the person slaughtered on that rainy night, and got out of the cell with Gao Baichuan in despair. Gao Baichuan pulled out the key, and the cell door slowly fell, and the cell returned to darkness.

In the darkness, the "corpse" sitting cross-legged on that rainy night slowly raised its head.
