Chapter 89 Open the Box
"You stinky bitch, you can just plant flowers, but you're using babies as nutrients. Look at the sin you've committed!"
Lu Bubu became more and more angry as he spoke, and dragged the woman who was tied up like a twist to the pile of baby bones.
The woman struggled and pressed her forehead against one of the white skulls. She lowered her head and her whole body trembled slightly.
"Brother, what should we do now? This woman doesn't say anything." asked Lu Bubu.
"Could it be a mistake? Isn't she Sister Yang?" Shi Xiaoyin said.
"She's crying?" Xie Liang said.
"What?" Lu Bubu asked.
Shi Xiaoyin walked over to the woman, grabbed her hair and lifted her head up: "She is crying, but why is she crying?"
"I don't know. There must be something we haven't found. Let's look again. Which one is the master bedroom?" Xie Liang said.
Shi Xiaoyin pointed to one of the rooms and said, "That one, I almost lifted up the floor."
Xie Liang tugged at Xu He's sleeve: "Brother He, carry me over and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Xu He bent down, carried him on his back and walked towards the master bedroom.
The entire master bedroom is decorated in pink, with pink walls, pink gauze curtains, a pink bed, and even the floor is pink.
"It looks like a princess's room." Xie Liang said.
"Yeah." Xu He responded softly.
"Miss Xiaoyin, are there any children's clothes here?" Xie Liang asked.
"Oh, yes. Wait a minute, I'll look for it."
Shi Xiaoyin began to rummage through the mess on the floor, and soon she found some pink clothes for the baby.
"Where did you find these clothes?"
"It's in the box on top of the wardrobe, that box." Shi Xiaoyin said, pointing to the metal box that was turned upside down.
"It seems my guess is correct."
"What's the meaning?"
"Clothes. These clothes match the size of the skeletons in the potted plants."
"So, these children are..."
"I don't think this is the master bedroom, at least not before. Brother He, let's go check out the other two rooms."
Xu He carried Xie Liang into the second room. This room was a little narrower and decorated in blue. Apart from the color, everything else was basically the same as the previous room.
The whole room was in a mess, but Xie Liang felt that this was not the master bedroom.
It was not until he entered the last room that Xie Liang was basically certain that this room was the master bedroom.
This room is the smallest of the three rooms, but it is not narrow. It is decorated in white style, and women's clothes and various sundries are scattered on the floor.
Lu Bubu walked in and said: "We have already turned over what we need to turn over. If you don't believe me, you can turn over it yourself."
"No need to look through, there are no men's clothes here." Xie Liang said.
Lu Bubu: "Brother, are you talking about Mr. Liu?"
"Well, it seems he doesn't live here."
"Damn it! Looks like I have to pry open this bitch's mouth!" Lu Bubu said angrily.
When Xu He carried Xie Liang out, Xie Liang suddenly caught a glimpse of the situation and saw a palm-sized photo frame lying on the ground with its back facing up.
"What is that?" Xie Liang pointed at the photo frame and asked Lu Bubu who was leaning against the door.
"A photo! It's that woman's photo, it's all black!" Lu Bubu said as he picked up the photo frame and handed it to Xie Liang, "Take a look, we can't see anything anyway."
After Xie Liang took the photo frame, he asked Xu He to carry him to the living room, where he lay on the sofa and looked at the blurry black and white photo.
It was a very blurry photo. There was only a woman in the picture with a bulging belly, which meant she was pregnant. Apart from that, the background was blurred and nothing could be seen.
"Are these all your children?" Shi Xiaoyin asked the woman.
The woman continued to sob and ignored them no matter how they asked.
There was no trace of Mr. Liu in this apartment, not even a trace of a man living there. This woman couldn't have gotten pregnant out of thin air.
Xie Liang said to Shi Xiaoyin, "Miss Xiaoyin, search her body."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaoyin began to feel around on the woman's white dress. She turned out both pockets of the dress, and it was obvious that there was nothing in the pockets; they were empty.
"Nothing, but..." Shi Xiaoyin stared at the woman's neck, and suddenly she pulled off the necklace on her neck.
The woman crawling on the ground became agitated and roared viciously, "Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
After Shi Xiaoyin got the necklace, she walked directly to the sofa and handed it to Xie Liang.
"Key?" Xie Liang said.
"Yes, that's what I think. Could there be a secret door or box here that we haven't found yet?" Shi Xiaoyin said.
Zhang Guo said with a worried look on his face, "Then let's quickly start looking again. It's getting dark."
"Knock on every floor and every wall, and push down the wardrobe to look for it," said Xie Liang.
Except for Xie Liang, everyone else quickly took action, running into different rooms and starting to knock on the walls and floors inch by inch.
After an unknown amount of time, a loud shout was heard in a room.
"I found it! Come over and take a look!"
It was Zhang Guo's voice. Xie Liang hurriedly asked Xu He to carry him to the room where Zhang Guo was.
The blue bed in the room had been lifted up and placed against the wall on one side. There was a piece of blue floor where the bed was originally placed, which was pried up by Zhang Guo.
Unexpectedly, there was a secret compartment under the floor, and a silver aluminum box about 30 cm long and wide was lying quietly inside.
Shi Xiaoyin picked up the aluminum box, which had a small golden copper lock on it.
Xie Liang handed over the key that Shi Xiaoyin had given him earlier: "Try it."
Shi Xiaoyin took the key and tried several times but it didn't fit into the keyhole: "No, it doesn't match."
"Damn it, this is easy. We can just smash it open." said Lu Bubu.
"Let's go out first. It's spacious outside." Xie Liang said.
Shi Xiaoyin placed the box on the open space in front of the woman. The woman screamed and kept arching her body to move to the box.
Lu Bubu picked up the hammer on the ground and smashed it against the silver box. The box began to deform gradually, but it just wouldn't open.
"Stop! If you hit it again, it will turn into paper." Shi Xiaoyin said.
"Damn it! What the hell is this!" Lu Bubu picked up the box and took a look. "How can I break this lock? I can't even twist it with my hands! This is weird!"
"Let me see." Xie Liang said.
Xie Liang took the box and asked Xu He to put him on the sofa. He held the box and began to observe it.
It's true that the box is made of aluminum, but it's not so hard to break or twist open. It seems like the box has a certain toughness.
After fiddling with it for a while, Xie Liang suddenly thought of the key: "Miss Xiaoyin, let me see the key."
After taking the key from Shi Xiaoyin, Xie Liang tried a few more times, but the key just couldn't fit into the keyhole of the box.
"Could it be that this is not the key?" Zhang Guo asked.
"Damn it! Woman! Where is the key!" Lu Bubu yelled at the woman curled up on the ground.
The woman glared at him resentfully without saying a word.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the suite were like decorations, with none of them working.
The surroundings gradually became quiet, so quiet that it was eerie, without a trace of other sounds, as if something was about to come out.
Xie Liang had a bad feeling in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the restaurant first."
"What should we do with this woman?" asked Lu Bubu.
"Carry her back too."
Before it got completely dark, they carried the woman and started heading back.
When we walked out of the alley and onto the street, it was completely dark.
At this time, the originally quiet woman on Lu Bubu's shoulder began to scream and made short howls similar to those of a wolf.
"Shut up! Why are you yelling? It's so annoying!" Shi Xiaoyin said.
Xie Liang took out his flashlight and shone it across the road: "Let's go quickly. Be careful of that big red truck."
More than ten minutes later, the woman carried on Lu Bubu's shoulders suddenly broke the rope on her body, and rushed to Xie Liang with a whoosh, trying to snatch the box that Xie Liang was holding.
Xu He reacted and quickly dodged.
Lu Bubu swung his fists and started fighting with the woman: "Fuck! How come this woman has so much strength all of a sudden!"
Shi Xiaoyin swung the whip towards the woman, then suddenly stopped and turned to Xie Liang and Xu He and asked, "Did you notice?"
"Well, there are quite a few." Xie Liang said.
Zhang Guo, who was standing beside him, trembled and stood next to Xu He: "What are you talking about?"
"Go back first." Xu He said.
"Idiot! Don't worry about her, go back to the restaurant first!" Shi Xiaoyin yelled at Lu Bubu.
Lu Bubu complained, "You think we want to control her? If we hadn't stopped her, she would have already rushed towards me!"
The strip-shaped things in the corners of the alleys and under the eaves were approaching them. Xie Liang shone a flashlight and found that they were all customers from the restaurant before.
The customers looked at Xie Liang and his group excitedly, with scarlet light in their eyes, and gradually gathered around them.
"Run!" Xie Liang shouted.
Everyone rushed forward toward the street, with the customers following closely behind.
Suddenly, Xie Liang heard Zhang Guo's screams behind him.
He turned his head and looked with the flashlight, and found that Zhang Guo had been caught up by two customers and pinned to the ground.
After the two customers pushed Zhang Guo down, they actually started biting Zhang Guo's face and neck with their bloody mouths wide open!
After they took a bite of meat and swallowed it, they took another bite. More and more customers rushed towards Zhang Guo, and soon he was completely overwhelmed.
Xie Liang couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he withdrew his gaze and put his head on Xu He's back.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Xu He's back was already soaked with sweat, and Shi Xiaoyin, who was originally on par with Xu He, gradually fell behind.
Lu Bubu, who was running in front, looked back at Shi Xiaoyin who was lagging behind, slowed down, and after Shi Xiaoyin caught up with him, he pulled her and ran faster.
It was like running a marathon. People of all kinds gradually poured out from all around. Among them were customers that they had seen during the day, and some that they had never seen before. However, they all had the same bloodthirsty red light in their eyes, and they were chasing Xie Liang and his companions closely.
Not far ahead was the warmly lit western-style restaurant, and the motley crowd seemed to slow down. Once they were completely within the light, they stopped chasing them and disappeared into the corners and alleys.
Seeing them coming back, Huangmao and Wu Tingting hurried to greet them.
"How is it? Any clues?" asked Huangmao.
"Well, I'm still studying it." Xie Liang said.
Shi Xiaoyin pointed at Li Kuantou and asked, "Is that 'Aiyo' guy still alive?"
"He's still alive. I guess he can't be called anymore after calling for a whole day." said Huangmao.
"We both almost got annoyed to death by him," said Wu Tingting.
Xie Liang asked Xu He to put him on the flat open ground and began to study the silver box with everyone.
The keyhole of the box is straight, and the key is cross-shaped. The end is like a knife with a wing on each side. It looks very strange.
Xie Liang looked at the key and suddenly found that the two wings were not welded. He immediately reached out and moved the two wings.
With a "click", the two wings bounced upwards, and the original cross-shaped key turned into a single sharp blade, which is in the shape of a straight line.
Lu Bubu was incredulous and said, "Damn! This is also possible?"
"What's wrong? Open it and take a look." Shi Xiaoyin said.
Xie Liang aimed the key at the keyhole of the box, pushed it in, and after turning it twice, there was a "click" sound, and the box was unlocked.
Xie Liang pulled out the key and opened the box under everyone's anxious gaze.
