The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 218 Unraveling the Link (7)

Jindi's residence is a small courtyard, which Bu Xiangkong said was set up by her father when he was in the provincial capital.The courtyard is not as good as the house he solemnly bought, but it is also a single family.In fact, when we parted last time, Jindi knew we were coming to the provincial capital and told us where we lived, and told us to go to her if we needed anything.

Jindi was at home when I found the door, she was very pleasantly surprised to see me, hurriedly greeted me to take a seat, and asked me how I was.Although I was wary of her from the bottom of my heart, looking at her clean and gentle face, I couldn't help feeling that she didn't look like a scheming person, so I couldn't help feeling a little shaken in my heart, wondering if Bu Xiangkong and the others made a mistake .

But I didn't dare to tell her about Xiuhong, so I asked her where Ruan Lang went after he came back with her.Jindi stroked the hair in front of his forehead, and wondered: "Has Ruan Lang come to the provincial capital? I don't know."

She categorically denied that she took Ruan Lang away, which surprised me, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you come here solemnly to ask you to take him away?"

"Zheng Zheng?" Jin Di was stunned, "Who is Zheng Zheng?"

She didn't even know Zheng Zheng. I felt a little bit in my heart, and suddenly realized that things seemed to be beyond my expectations, because this kind of lie would be exposed as soon as it was exposed, and there was no need to spread it.So it seems that she really didn't know Zheng Zheng, and she didn't take Ruan Lang away.If this is the case, then Bu Xiangkong and Zheng Zheng are lying to me together.

However, I thought that they also lied to me about Xiuhong, and finally sent Xiuhong to the prison to get justice for the Wei family back then, so I wasn't too shocked in my heart, I just thought about the possibility of this. It was another game by Bu Xiangkongbu, so after being surprised, he looked as usual, and replied: "Zheng Zhong is a friend we all know. He said that Ruan Lang left with a woman. From his description, I thought that person was you."

"Oh," Jin Di was also a little suspicious, "Why did Ruan Lang come to the provincial capital suddenly? By the way, how did you know that I know him?"

"This... is what Ruan Lang said by himself." I perfunctory her, fearing that if I continued, I would reveal my truth, so I hurriedly changed the subject, "I met Shu Xu again in the provincial capital, and he talked about the escape plan of Guhuai Prison. It was you who proposed it, and Wu You almost exposed the secret at that time, so... so your design inspired his death."

I thought of what Bu Xiangkong said, no matter what, let Jindi and Shu Xu meet.I don't know what game he is setting up, but I admire the game he played for Xiu Hong, and I just want to cooperate with him at this time.I was afraid that Jindi would not go, so I hurriedly said: "I don't think he's in a good condition, and what he said may not be credible, but you, the inmates who have been in prison for so many years, may be able to explain him."

"Wu You's death was planned by me?" Jin Di was also taken aback, "He said that? Then I really want to ask him. Come on, do you know his address?"

I nodded and told her that Shu Xu and others had set up another "Guhuai Prison" in the provincial capital. Jindi also sighed and said in a low voice, "After all, I still haven't escaped from Guhuai."

She tidied up as she spoke, and then went out with me, asking me many things along the way, and where Ji Mingmei and Bu Ying went.I faltered a few words, and said that because they refused to hand over the sign to me last time, there was some disagreement between us, so we didn't get together in the provincial capital.

Jin Di comforted me a few words and told me not to take it to heart.When we got to the house that Zheng re-bought, I was about to take her in, but suddenly a child ran towards me from the other side of the road, and pulled my skirt to make me bend down.I saw that he seemed to be whispering something to me, so I couldn't help being surprised, so I bent down with a smile, and turned my head towards him.

The child put his mouth close together and whispered to me: "A man named Ruan Lang asked me to tell you that he discovered a big secret and told you to go to the teahouse you have been to to find him. .”

It turned out that Ruan Lang called him here, but he didn't know what big secret he discovered, so mysterious.I was about to straighten my waist, but the child tugged me again, and continued to whisper, "He told you not to trust anyone, but to go alone. It's urgent, if you don't arrive within a quarter of an hour, he will leave. "

I was even more amazed when I heard it, what was so urgent that I had to arrive within a quarter of an hour, and told me not to trust anyone.Hearing this tone, Ruan Lang was encountering something imminent, and it seemed a little dangerous.But I was about to go in with Jin Di to find Shu Xu, and I couldn't help but hesitate as I couldn't get away right now.

Jin Di took a look at me, guessed what was urgent about me, and said softly: "If you have any urgent matter, go, I will go in and find Shu Xu by myself——whose house is this, I go in alone to deal with it ?"

"It doesn't matter," I replied hastily, "There is no one else inside, you go directly to the second entrance, where the layout is exactly the same as Guhuai Prison, just push the door and go in."

Jin Di replied: "Okay, I'll go in and talk to Shu Xu, if you come in time after you're done with your work, then come, if you don't, you can go to my residence to find me later."

Right now it can only be like this, I told her about the possible burial of Shu Xu in the soil so that she would not be frightened at that time, and then I apologized and left with the child.The teahouse we had been to before was quite a distance away, and I managed to get there a quarter of an hour ago, but after entering the teahouse, I couldn't see Ruan Lang anywhere.

We have been to this teahouse several times in the past two days, so the tea doctor has some impressions of me, and he greeted me when he saw me looking around.He told me that a person who came with me once told him that if he saw me coming, he would invite me to sit in the teahouse for a while. He had some urgent matters and would come as soon as he was done.

Ruan Lang hurriedly asked me to come, but when I came he went out by himself. I couldn't help being a little anxious, not knowing what happened to him.But he didn't explain his whereabouts, so I had no choice but to patiently wait for him here.By the time the pot of tea and a few small snacks that he ordered were eaten and drunk, half an hour had passed, and he still hadn't appeared.

At this moment, I felt that something was not quite right, and when I thought about it carefully, the child stopped me in front of the house that Zheng Xin bought just now, saying that Ruan Lang was looking for me urgently, and asked me to come alone.However, how did Ruan Lang know that I would appear there at that time?
Knowing that Jindi and I would go there at that time, only Bu Xiangkong and his son, Ji Mingmei, Zheng Zheng and others, so it was actually Bu Xiangkong who called me here, not Ruan Lang?Bu Xiangkong told me to take Jindi to see Shu Xu, and then called me away from Jindi, what exactly was he going to do!
I couldn't sit still when I thought about this, I hurriedly got up and rushed over there again, and when I arrived at the house that Zheng bought again, I went straight in.When I came to the door of "Guhuai Prison", I saw that the door was bolted, but it was not locked, and it could still be opened from the outside.

If there were people inside, the door would not be bolted outside, unless, like last night, someone closed the door outside after we walked in.So a thought came to my mind, could it be that Jin Di and Shu Xu were not in it?

Thinking of this, I was still afraid that the situation would be the same as ours last night, so I knocked on the door and shouted, "Is anyone there?"

There was no answer inside, so I listened and heard nothing, so I opened the door and walked in.After entering the "prison", the torches on the wall had been burned out, so the light was not enough. After I went in and squinted for a while, I gradually saw the scene inside.

The "prison" was empty, not only Jindi was not there, but Shu Xu was also not there. At that time, there was only a pile of soil in the small room where he buried himself.After I went in to check, I was sure he was not there, and I was afraid that he might have "sleeped" in another small room, so I walked around inside and shouted in a low voice: "Shu Xu! Shu Xu!"

No one responded, it seemed that Shu Xu was really not in the prison.I thought to myself that since Jindi came to see him, maybe the two of them went out together and walked out of the "prison".After walking out of the door, I thought to myself that since Shu Xu had locked the door before leaving, I should help him to lock the door too.

After locking the door and just about to walk out here, I saw another person coming from the first place.The man was surprised to see me walking out of the "prison" and asked, "What are you doing here?"

I took a closer look, but it turned out to be Li Yu.I haven't seen him since he escorted Xiuhong away last night, but seeing him coming here again, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, and I said involuntarily, "Mrs. Zheng's body is still here, right?"

"That's not true, Mrs. Zheng's body was taken back by the Zheng family last night." Li Yu replied, presumably when we were "locked" in the "Guhuai Prison" last night, someone came to take the body away and we don't know.Now that the corpse has been taken away, what is Li Yu still doing here?
Li Yu also saw my doubts, and said: "I heard from Bu Ying at the police station that there is a 'prison' here, so I came here to take a look, thinking that nothing would happen."

I nodded. Since he is a policeman, it is reasonable for him to care about these things.Seeing that I had bolted the door, Li Yu said, "Why did you close the door? Is there no one inside? Didn't you say that there is a man named Shu Xu living here?"

"No one." I replied, "An old friend of Shu Xu visited him just now. I think the two of them went out together."

"Oh," Li Yu said, but still walked over, "I'll go in and have a look, don't imprison others privately."

I stepped aside when I heard the words, Li Yu came over and unlocked the door, and said to me: "Are you going to the police station to find Bu Ying and the others? Just wait for me, I will drive here, and I will take you back on the way after I finish here." .”

I smiled and replied: "Thank you very much for saving me this journey."

While Li Yu was speaking, he opened the door and walked in. I didn't go in with him, so I waited for him outside.I thought he would at least have to look inside a few more times, but who knew that he had only just entered for a moment, and then rushed out of it like a gust of wind, his face was ashen, as if he had seen a ghost.

When he rushed out and saw that I was still outside, his face softened a bit, but his voice was still extremely sharp, and the words he said pierced my heart, "Why did you kill him!"

This sentence almost killed me, I staggered when I heard the words, and said in disbelief: "Who do you think I killed?"

"Shu Xu!" Li Yu stared straight at me, "Do you have any grudges?"

"How could I have a grudge against him?" It took me a long time to come back to my senses, I pushed him away and walked in, and said as I walked, "I've seen it all just now, there is no such thing in it." Man, where did I kill Shu..."

Before I could say the last word "Xu", a sudden burst of fear killed my voice and nailed me to the ground.I just felt that the blood all over my body rushed to my head, and I felt a little dizzy, and then my eyes became a little blurry.When he could see clearly again, Shu Xu was reclining in the dirt pit in front of him.

One of his legs was lying outside the pit, and he seemed to want to climb out of the pit, but was held tightly by something in the pit.Even with the lack of light in the "Grand Prison", I was sure at a glance that he was dead.

Just as I was going in and out of here, Shu Xu suddenly appeared and died before our eyes.But the problem is, I went in to see this pit on purpose before, but there was no one in the pit at all.So, how did Shu Xu suddenly appear like a magic trick?

Li Yu went over to check Shu Xu's body. Shu Xu was lying face up in the pit with a dagger stuck in his back. Other than that, there was no other wound on his body. It was obvious that the dagger was the cause of death.Since he was stabbed in the back, he was naturally killed.

Outside the pit, there was a more obvious mark on the ground, showing that the corpse was dragged in from outside the prison.But the strange thing is that this trace appeared in the aisle, and did not lead to other places. It seemed that Shu Xu appeared here out of thin air and was dragged inside.

"Just... just now, there was no one here..." I stammered, my mouth was extremely dry, but I didn't know how to explain it. My head was sweating profusely, sliding down from my forehead and down the sides of my nose.

Li Yu stood up, turned his head and stared at me for a while with a gloomy expression, and then slowly said: "If what you said is true, then there is only one explanation - the corpse was hidden in a corner, but you didn't find it. But The corpse can't move by itself, so there must be someone here who took advantage of this moment to move the corpse. Isn't that right?"

The situation is exactly as he said, so I nodded and waited for his next words.Li Yu glanced at me and said again, "I was also suspicious at first, because I came in when you were not around. But the time I came in was too short, almost as soon as I came in, I went back to the door to look for you, so I don't have enough time to drag the corpse. Right?"
