Daqing Criminal Division

"Squeak-"

In the middle of the night when no one was around, the sound of footsteps approaching outside the iron fence finally stopped.

When the iron cell door of Cell No. [-] on the side of the corridor was opened by the cell leader with a bunch of copper keys in his hand, it was completely dark inside.

In the corner, the dirt bed where a person had died was now empty.

The only wooden toilet was also placed where it should have been, and there were no footprints on the ground where anyone had ever entered.

Because no one has walked in for many days, the entire closed cell is now filled with a burnt smell that cannot be dispelled.

According to the rules, the head of the cell who came in from the probe waved his palm in disgust when he saw the situation, looked up to see that the position of the skylight at the top of the cell had not changed, and came out after making sure that there was nothing wrong.

After he turned the jingling copper key in a circle, he straightened it before going to untie the belt of his trousers.

When the head of the Taiping Mansion Prison shuffled back to the front of the Sanshi No. [-] cell, the two 'stab heads' who had been imprisoned for fighting were still in their original positions.

One, upside down against the wall like a dead dog.

The other, also half dead, was tilted to the other side.

——From this point of view, during the half hour he left, nothing happened inside.

"Oh, two people who don't know how to live or die."

Seeing this situation, remembering the crazy appearance of the two of them making troubles during the day, the cell boss who muttered something seemed relieved.

Picking up the funnel that was half off on the table, and confirming how many hours until the time when his confinement is lifted, he found a wooden table in the corner and sat down, put one arm against his head and continued humming. nap.

The ditty that was being hummed was "Huang Boyang Swings the Ghost Formation", and the cell leader, who was watching the night alone, shook his hands on the table and beat the time, but after four or five sentences, he fell asleep again past.

When the light outside was completely dark, the prisoner outside the prison also fell asleep, making a burst of snoring.

In the entire dark cell, two people in cell No. [-] who seemed to have fallen asleep just now opened their eyes at the same time, and kept looking outside like this.

"..."

In the terrifyingly quiet air, no one spoke for a moment, only the faint and uneven breathing.

Just now, both Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao were lying on the ground seemingly normal.

But if the cell boss really walked in, he might be able to see that the two of them were almost drenched in sweat on their backs and chests.

If it weren't for the fact that the cell was too dark, the sweat that was leaking from the prison uniform would have almost exposed them just now.

But now that they are back in the confinement room, facing the environment where there is no one around and only the two of them are left alone, the two guys who have just subsided the excitement and agitation in their hearts immediately spread their hands and lie down on the ground up.

After lying down like this, their bodies and legs were directly in the shape of a big character on the cold prison floor.

Some kind of euphoria from intense exercise left both heads blank.

"...It's really scary and can scare people to death. How about you?"

He patted his forehead with one hand, exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and Fucharzi asked on his forehead, which was still a little hot in the palm of his hand. He was lying down with one leg supported, and his back was completely completely in an instant. relax.

"It's okay, have you got your things?"

Just as he was talking, Duan Xiao, who seemed no better than giving him, calmed down the heat in his heart before asking him.

At the moment, the two were talking in this insignificant lying side by side posture. Fucharzi, who was paralyzed on the ground, saw Duan Xiaowen raised his arm and shook it like this, and then replied,

"...I got it, but I didn't find it accidentally tonight. Who would have thought that this closed prison pointed to the top and said.

When they spoke together in such a way, the tone of the two people who suddenly turned towards the skylight above their heads sounded like they were playing some charades.

Others could not understand what they were talking about at all, nor did they understand why the so-called Taiping Mansion Prison was so heavily guarded.

——But this matter, maybe even back to when they were blocked in the vent at the beginning.

Because it was caught off guard and blocked on the skylight before, the accident of the vent being checked temporarily was too sudden.

The two of them just urgently escaped from the perspective where the cell head opened the door to enter at the beginning, and took advantage of the momentary time difference to quickly jump over the pipe opening and return to the opposite confinement room.

During the process, the heavy iron chains on the two men who climbed up to the zenith may reveal their real actions at any time.

So the two who were busy talking about getting out of the predicament didn't have time to think too much, and only completed an escape at the fastest speed.

But when the two of them were evacuating the cell where the deceased was alive through the vent, they also took out the three physical evidence left in cell No. [-].

But unexpectedly, the cell boss opened the door too fast.

At that moment, in the dark environment with a little light shining on the feet, the two looked at each other nose to nose, eye to eye, and looked at each other across the palms of their hands.

The moment Fuchaerzi stopped, he completely suppressed Duan Owl in front of him through his inexplicably sweaty palm.

Seeing this, Duan Xiao looked down at the movement of the prisoner approaching, while maintaining his original posture, he pressed half of his shoulder and the back of his head, and used a predatory and controlling movement to minimize the distance between the two people, completely embracing each other. into one.

At this moment, the distance between them was unbelievably small.

This is a distance too dangerous to speak of.

It was so close that the two of them suddenly stopped talking.

This kind of inexplicable heat that surged up from their hearts made the minds of the two of them, who were only thinking about business at the moment, muddy.

So the two people who only wanted to get out of the predicament didn't make a sound, and Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao only turned their faces aside to respect each other, but they couldn't see the expression on each other's face clearly. .

The breath sprayed between the opponent's neck.

There is a little fire in the throat.

Still a little itchy.

For a moment, the two big men, who had never thought so much about each other, just stayed in the dark air vent, maintaining this posture of sticking to each other, neither of them moved, and even whispered.

"...I said, why are you moving around?"

I always felt that something was wrong with doing this, Fucharzi hurriedly moved his body away as he said it, and propped his hands on the wall to give him an opinion.

"You didn't move, did you?"

Duan Xiao, whose temper was no better than his, replied to him.

"... If I move, I will move too, but you can see that I can't move, so can you stop moving, or you will fall and die together."

Fucharzi said again in such a low voice.

"Then count to three and we both don't move."

Duan Xiao also replied in such a low voice.

After finishing speaking, the two of them stopped moving, but for some reason, the ignition in some places seemed to still not go away.

This flame sometimes has nothing to do with anything else.

It was very warm and pure, no one wanted to hide anything, it just burned up from the bottom of my heart for no reason.

Like a flame that can be easily blown away by a match, although it is usually suppressed and kept cold and not obvious, when the wind blows, it will always show its feet, and it is bound to ignite a raging fire.

It was also at this moment that our young master Fucha, who has always been very stingy, thought of the three days when he went home last time, when he was lying alone in the bullock cart or looking at the sky in the yard, he kept thinking about it. one thing.

"Duan Xiaoer."

He didn't understand what he was doing wrong here, but Fucharzi, who was still stuck in the vent, just spoke up.

This is one of the rare times when he calls people by their full names in such a serious tone.

But this person didn't know if his accent hadn't changed after returning home last time, or if it was something else, he just pronounced Duan Xiao's name into a particularly strong accent for someone who didn't pay attention.

——It's as if his tall, straight, and handsome young master's nose was suddenly blocked by something.

"how."

I didn't know what he was going to do, but with this man's serious tone, Duan Xiao had no choice but to answer him like this.

Fucharzi: "Oh, I'll just call you, didn't I say that my name is actually not my official name, but the name I used outside?"

Duan Xiao: "It seems to be."

Fuchaerzi: "Then is this your name?"

Duan Xiao: "Why are you asking this?"

Fuchaerji: "That's right, we've known each other for so long, it seems like we don't understand anything, I want to understand, do you want to understand me?"

do you want to know me

This is a very straightforward question. Normally, Duan Xiao would definitely piss him off, but with the atmosphere tonight, the two of them were able to chat about such a dry topic.

Duan Xiao: "Why didn't you say you wanted to know me before?"

Fucharzi: "The past is the past, and the present is the present."

Duan Xiao: "What was it before? What is it now?"

Fucha Erji: "It used to be Duan Xiao, anyone can be Duan Xiao, Duan Xiao is just a name, now it is Duan Xiao, but only you are Duan Xiao, because Duan Xiao is you, so it is different."

This sounds a bit interesting.

If you say that being frank is really frank, it's as if this person has already sent out his entire open and bright heart to others.

However, the person who said this said it with a serious expression on his face, and the person was also listening with a serious expression on his face, it seemed that the atmosphere where he was obviously risking to avoid danger in a low voice somehow changed.

After finishing speaking, Fuchaerzi remained silent, and just stared at Duan Xiao with a look that I was telling the truth.

Duan Xiao: "Then you talk first."

Fucharzi: "Don't tell me, why didn't you say it first, I never told anyone my name before."

Duan Xiao: "Are you a ghost? You can't casually say your name to people."

Fuchaerzi: "No, I don't tell ordinary people casually, it has to be between iron and porcelain."

It's come to this juncture, and the two of them still have a back-and-forth mood here, but some things are finally forced to cool down after being disturbed like this.

And just when these two people began to get angry because of this unlucky encounter, and felt that it was a bit inexplicable that they were following each other.

——But in the next second, I inadvertently looked through the vent because my back was against the wall, and found another hidden vent between the No. [-] and No. [-] No. air passages.

The timing of this was unusual.

But it just messed up everything that was almost "not stopping the car" before.

It was even more dazzling in the dark environment, and the vents of the prison's internal structure were beside them at that time.

At first, Fucharzi, who had his back to the skylight on the east side, turned his face and paused to see it first, and then signaled Duan Xiao to look back.

Then, the two of them turned their heads together to look at the small hole with a blurry light behind them.

Looking at the past in this way, you can see that the entire passage is completely covered by a hollow lime slab, which is inserted horizontally in the prison of Taiping Mansion from top to bottom, the top leads to the top fortress tower, and the bottom leads to the unknown. famous place.

This is--?

This scene stopped the two people who were still in the environment of the vent and couldn't get out.

If it weren't for the rush of the two people coming in, I'm afraid they wouldn't have found such a secret entrance in the vents on both sides.

This passageway doesn't look like it was opened casually by the people inside the prison.

Because the prison of Taiping Mansion was built in an old fort-like building.

Each section of the passage is like a link in the building that exists in the complex interior itself.

Therefore, this passage opening like a pipeline can lead directly to any of the sixteen general cells. The strangest thing is that on the side of the wall made of mud and water, there is another An inexplicable brand mark was left on the wall.

The brand mark that seemed to be scalded by something looked round.

In the middle is a square hollow.

It's an unusual shape.

Especially for the location, it just happened to stay in the air vent tunnel dug privately between Cell No. [-] and Cell No. [-]. This shape looks a little familiar.

"Do you ever wonder if this looks like a thing?"

Fucharzi asked.

"like what."

Duan Xiao asked him.

"It's hard to say, but I feel very familiar, and I feel like I've seen it before."

For a while, just relying on such a circular brand mark, they really couldn't remember what the shape was like when they were blocked in the vent.

So without thinking about anything else at the moment, the two people who wrote down the location of the trace simply hid there, and then entered the gap in Cell No. [-] through the cell leader, and returned safely to the confinement room.

This time, the two of them were able to escape smoothly.

When the two of them got down now and recalled that scene carefully, they were basically sure that there was definitely a big problem inside the prison of Taiping Mansion.

Let’s not talk about the management methods of the jailers, but just talk about the three abnormal points of the prisoner Cathay’s bizarre death, and why there are hidden access passages in the vents, which is worth thinking about——

Because there are only two results.

First, someone inside the Taiping Mansion is using this channel to carry out a secret transaction; second, this transaction is very likely to be closely related to the death of Cathay Pacific on the night of the [-]th.

And the most important thing is to find out what is the circular burn mark left on the vent and what is the cause of Cathay Pacific's death.

"After dawn, I will find a way to test Baltu again, and then find a way to enter Cell [-]. After you go out, go find someone. He may know the truth about the 'Red Dead'."

"Who?"

"When I was eating in Quokou yesterday, I heard an old man with yellow teeth talking to someone. His nickname seems to be Cai Yingcai. He always stays with a group of prisoners in the northwest corner. He seems to know something. When necessary , It should be useful for you to get some information from him."

"Oh, I see."

After finishing the last two sentences of the conversation about investigating the case, realizing the seriousness and danger of this matter, the two of them had no time to think about anything else.

What happened in the confinement room this night.

In addition to what they have witnessed about the interior of Taiping Mansion, it must be said that this is a major breakthrough in their undercover mission. As long as they stay up until dawn and the confinement time is over, they can be released normally tomorrow morning.

After about half a quarter.

After saying these two simple sentences, Fuchaerzi and Duan Xiao hid the copper spoon and the evidence this time on the skylight of the Sanshi Liu cell.

They agreed that if there is news later.

Only try to find a way to re-enter the vent above the confinement room from the skylight, and continue to check the situation inside the Taiping Mansion as it is the rest of the time.

A moment later.

The two of them kept their original postures and just squinted for a while, and let their minds refresh for a while.

This time, because of what happened before, they didn't sleep very deeply.

In the cold cell, both of them were thinking about something.

But that night, when the two of them finished talking about these things and took a break each, there was another strange thing that Fucha Erji, the crow's mouth, said right.

Because it was just before dawn from this night.

Fuchaerji and Duan Xiao, who were two living beings and still locked in a cell, dreamed at the same time that they hadn't seen their mother and mother for ten years.

Regarding this sudden 'nightmare', neither of them expected it in advance, so they can only say that it was a very abnormal thing.

Because if it's a dream, it shouldn't be at this time, and the most terrifying thing is when the two of them have gone underground for many years, and the mother and mother rarely have a dream and open their mouths again.

The first question was not about what his son was doing recently, whether he was eating well or wearing clothes, or something else, but he said something to them in a very strange tone.

"Son, Erniang knows that your boss is not young, and she is coming——I'm going to find someone for you."

"Yuheng, Mother has brought a lot of portraits from below, and I'm coming—to introduce someone to you."

Duan Owl Fuchaerji: "..."

That night, this terrifying but inexplicable dream directly woke up the two people sleeping in different corners of the cell who were clearly separated by a long distance last night.

But when the two opened their eyes vaguely, it was already dawn.

The almost two people who each suppressed some things last night both lowered their heads and did not make a sound.

It was also at this time that the cell leader outside, who had been sleeping for most of the night, heard the movement of the iron chain from the cell, and stretched himself over to open the door for them.

At that moment, the light from the open cell door hit his face.

Both of them wiped their faces and sat up blankly, pretending to be indifferent and cold, but they also knew in their hearts that the task on them was still going on.

——Now, they have to continue to stay in this prison again, and start pretending that they don't know each other.
