Xu Zhen checked the secret room carefully again, not missing any detail.
Finally, he found an air hole somewhere on the roof of the secret room, and there was tar dripping from the air hole.
oh……
Soon, he realized that if there were no air holes in such a small closed room, a person would suffocate to death in a short time.
However, the person who dug this secret room wanted to hide it from others, so naturally he could not dig out a single air hole, otherwise it would be easily exposed.
Could it be that the outside of cell leader Qin Lin's room is connected to the prison cafeteria? This air hole is connected to the flue of the canteen?
If that's the case, is there... still hope?
"This is……"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Sima Xin noticed something and immediately reminded Xu Zhen and Dongfang Meiyan to pay attention.
Xu Zhen quickly put down his thoughts and stepped forward to check.
But under the light of the light, on the ground under Fang Wuyi's right hand, he seemed to have written a word with his fingertips.
Even though the ground is covered with land, the word "blood" is still clearly revealed.
That is the word "Ji".
"Ji..."
Dongfang Meiyan had already seen it, but she naturally couldn't figure it out and murmured to herself: "What does this word mean? Why not write more?"
"It doesn't matter, Dongfang Shenzhen," Sima Xin urged, "Fang Wubing is not dead yet. As long as we rescue him, won't we know everything?"
"Yes," Dongfang Meiyan glanced at Xu Zhen, and then said to Sima Xin, "I gave him Jin Yuan Dan, which should be able to save his life, but... I think..."
"You are right." Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen continued before Dongfang Meiyan finished speaking, "We'd better declare to the outside world that Fang Wubing is dead, and we can't let them know, including Lord Sima's men."
"Smart." Dongfang Meiyan glanced at Xu Zhen again, but there was only one hint of appreciation in her eyes, and the other nine points were all playful, which actually made Xu Zhen feel like she was being targeted by a pervert.
All right!
Xu Zhen quickly reminded himself that from now on, he could no longer show off his talents in front of this goddess! otherwise……
"Understood," Sima Xin nodded and said, "Then carry the dead body out, and then I will prepare a room in this prison to treat him."
"I finally understand now..." Dongfang Meiyan pouted and said, "Why did the Chief of Police send me here! Little brother, do you want to know why?"
"This..." Xu Zhen wanted to pretend to be stupid, but such a question really hurt his self-esteem, so he said, "In order to carry out today's operation, the other party did not hesitate to instigate many jailers one after another, and also spent a lot of effort to dig up holes in the prison. Coming out of the secret room, he obviously has a lot of background!"
"I really like you more and more," Dongfang Meiyan smiled, her eyes were fascinating, but also deeply fearful, "If the other party is really a lawless gangster, then just rob the prison openly. Why do you have to do such complicated tricks? This shows..."
"..." Xu Zhen naturally guessed the answer, but it felt inappropriate to say it from his mouth.
"Ah?" However, Sima Xin reacted and was immediately startled. "This was... done by an insider? Someone from the imperial court? Why?"
"Obviously," Xu Zhen could speak this time, "this matter is related to the batch of things that Fang Wubing and the others stole from Wanfeng Bank six years ago!"
"You..." Dongfang Meiyan looked at Xu Zhen without any scruples, and said very simply, "Come here and follow me! I feel like you have a great future!"
Depend on……
Originally, Xu Zhen thought everything was still under control.
It wasn't until Dongfang Meiyan said such an abrupt statement that he realized that the situation might have gotten out of control.
Xu Zhen felt that Dongfang Meiyan came to investigate the case not only because the case had escalated, but it was very likely that Dongfang Meiyan also knew more secrets.
broken……
Xu Zhen felt increasingly bad. He seemed to have fallen into another political whirlpool unintentionally.
"No problem!" Unexpectedly, Sima Xin followed suit and immediately said, "This Capt. Xu is originally a non-staff person. He is here just to save his uncle!"
"Save uncle..." Dongfang Meiyan chuckled, "It sounds like a tongue twister."
"Um..." Xu Zhen quickly bowed his hands politely, "Thanks to the Eastern Divine Catcher for your love, but Xu Zhen is a police officer in Yanping County. I will follow your words..."
"It doesn't matter," Dongfang Meiyan said with a smile, "I'll just transfer you here temporarily. If you do well, stay. If you don't do well, go back. You have nothing to lose."
"..." Xu Zhen was speechless. He always felt that this woman had a hidden meaning in her words. Did the so-called "good job" really mean solving the case?
Why?
He was obviously an experienced driver, so why did he look like a rookie in the hands of this woman? Is it because I don’t know martial arts?
Not long after, the three people acted according to the plan and announced that Fang Wubing and the mysterious old man were both killed. In fact, they secretly hid Fang Wubing in a certain room.
However, an accident happened again, and someone quickly recognized that this mysterious old man was actually the cook of their county prison!
This is a real deal!
Xu Zhen immediately went around to the outside of the dormitory, and sure enough he saw the outside of the cell leader Qin Lin's room, which happened to be connected to the prison kitchen.
In this way, Xu Zhen's hanging heart was slightly relieved.
If the guess is correct, the cook should use his spare time to dig a secret room under the kitchen floor.
He had planned early in the morning that the secret room would be connected to Qinglin's room. After digging, he only left an exit in Qinglin's room.
What a painstaking effort!
Xu Zhen speculated that this cook should be a senior member of the traitor. He led so many of his subordinates to lurk in the prison for so long just to keep Fang Wubing alone in the secret room.
Obviously, in the secret room, the cook brutally interrogated Fang Wubing, but was accidentally killed by the violent Fang Wubing, and both of them almost died together.
So... what does this cook want to know from Fang Wubing?
Xu Zhen frowned, feeling even more that there might be a huge secret behind Fang Wubing's case.
By the time Xu Zhen finished checking, Fang Wubing had been protected by Sima Xin.
At the same time, news came from Sima Xin's men that they had searched the mouths of all the other jailers, including Qin Lin, but no one was found to have poison in their mouths, not even one missing teeth.
Seeing this situation, Dongfang Meiyan gave Xu Zhen another indescribable and slightly provocative look.
Xu Zhen's analysis was good. These spies were highly hierarchical, and only low-level back-up personnel could take the poison.
Senior personnel are still hidden among these jailers...
