Overturning the Road to Rebirth

Overturning the Road to Salted Fish Seventeen

In less than ten hours, the things hidden in the stairs were taken away, obviously to guard against them!

The man, without a doubt, was Nader, the owner of the bakery next door.

Regardless of whether Nade showed his feet in advance because he noticed that the two of them had doubts about the stairs in the afternoon or was afraid of being exposed, it would not be anyone else who was capable of doing this. After all, the key was in Nade's hands, and No one knew that they had tampered with the windows so that, to outsiders, Berry's barber shop was completely closed.

As soon as Xiao Liang snapped his fingers, Jing appeared from the darkness according to the instructions, and stood respectfully behind him waiting for the instructions.

Because of the large amount of artificial blood provided during this period, he is no longer as skinny as he saw at the beginning, and his dehydrated muscles have regained their firmness and strength. His body shape is more and more similar to Song Jingyan, and he is less talkative than Ares. , the loyalty to Xiao Liangyi in his eyes became firmer.

"Are you sure no one has entered this barber shop from the outside?"

"Yes, I am always on the roof of the hotel."

Even though the small hotel they stayed in had only three floors, it was the tallest building in this small town. Xiao Liang asked him to keep an eye on the barber shop since he left in the afternoon. Since Jing said so, there would be no mistakes.

Ares hugged him tacitly and walked towards the east wall, where there were three barber tables that reached waist height, standing on two legs and leaning against the wall. There were many barber tools on the table, and two thick cabinet legs Also made in the shape of a drawer.

If Nad did not enter the barber shop from the outside, the most likely way to sneak in is that there is a passage between the bakery and the barber shop, because the east wall of the barber shop and the west wall of the bakery are close together , so if there is a secret door, it is likely to be here.

Mirror asked: "Do you want to push the barber table away?"

Xiao Liang shook his head: "No need. Just imagine, if you have to push the barber stand to enter the barber shop, how will you restore the barber stand when you go back?"

The barber table is so big, even if you try to stretch your arms, you can't reach two widths and two heights.If it is tied up with a rope, pull the rope back intermittently afterwards, but the tools on the table are neatly placed, and there is no shift in position due to the shaking of the table body, which means that if there is a secret passage, there is no need to move the barber table can go in and out.

The mirror carefully checked the surrounding floors and walls, but there was nothing strange, Xiao Liang fell into deep thought.

Did they guess wrong?There is no secret communication at all?

So how to explain the change in the sound of the wooden ladder?There is indeed something hidden in it and something is missing.It would be fine if it was true that his sense of hearing was abnormal, but Lu Xiangsheng's strict temperament would never make a mistake.

Ares saw his puzzled look, patted his dog's head, walked to the middle of the second and third barber stations, and reminded: "Look carefully."

As soon as Xiao Liang heard the reputation, although the outline of the object could be accurately seen in the darkness, the pattern would be blurred if it was far away, like a solid color. According to the memory of the day, the three barber tables were all yellowish brown. The color is very uniform, I don't know how many years it has been used, it is still very new, it seems that it is often divided by people.

...Wait, it seems that they are often divided by people?

How many years have passed since the old Bailey and the young Bailey died, why would someone come to clean the three barber stations? !

As soon as Xiao Liang came to his senses, he said to the mirror: "Quickly, quickly, pull out the drawers on the two table legs!"

The mirror mirror did, a total of six drawers were pulled out and put aside, a surprising scene appeared, this barber table was carefully designed - all six drawers were supported by dark grooves, and the wooden board between the two barber tables was It is detachable, and all the parts are movable, and they are inlaid with each other almost seamlessly. In addition, the paint is neatly painted so that others will not suspect that there is any abnormality. After all, the unity of color is easy to make people feel mixed.

After taking out all these, they saw a 1.5-meter-high small door, which seemed to open a big mouth, which could swallow people to a terrible place.

Obviously, Nader pushed the drawer out through this secret door and entered the barber shop, then went into his bakery with the things, and climbed back to reinstall the drawer.

The secret door has been found, and the question now is whether they should go there and point to Nader's nose and ask him what he is hiding.

What if his explanation is that he secretly hid the money in the house of an old friend?

If little Bailey was murdered and died at home, they could still use it as an excuse to say that Nade had bad intentions, and he was probably a criminal who committed crimes through this secret passage-but Xiao Bailey, like Alice, was dead. in the suburbs.

Just when Xiao Liang was hesitating, a scream suddenly came from the opposite side of the wall, which instantly tore apart the tranquility of Silent Night, like some kind of uneasy signal, instantly broke his calmness, "What's going on? This voice Is it... Nad?"

Ares kicked open the secret door, hugged him with difficulty, and bowed forward. Unlike the darkness of the barber shop, Nader's house was brightly lit, and there was a sweet smell, which was malt being scoured. Aroma from roasting.

As soon as they came in, they bumped into two other people, it was Rouren and Lils, but the difference was that the two had obviously barged in through the gate, and the bakery's door was still swinging.

Xiao Liang asked, "What's going on? Didn't you two go after vampires? Why did you come to Nade's house?"

Lils: "We chased Mercury and the others almost twice around the town, but they suddenly disappeared when we got near here. Then we knocked on the door when we heard the screams, and we broke in without a response."

As soon as Xiao Liang noticed that Rou Ren changed from his usual gentle and holy look, like a hunter seeing the prey he was about to catch fleeing under his nose, his eyes were indescribably gloomy.

The high priest inspected this shop. Like the barber shop next door, it also has a second-floor structure, with the storefront below and the residential building above. He pointed to something in the corner and asked, "What is this?"

What catches the eye is a huge stone, which is shaped into an irregular semi-ellipse and stands quietly in the corner. The color is slightly lighter than natural stones, and there seem to be many larger particles in it. The mirror suddenly said: "Yes. cement."

Cement, as a technology developed during the development of lime in the industrial era, has been widely used in the construction materials of later generations, but it is not very popular at this time. Xiao Liang asked him: "How do you know?"

Jing: "When...at home, I would help my father build an orphanage."

If you have been in frequent contact, it is not surprising to recognize it at a glance.

Seeing that everyone fell silent, Liers asked: "Commander, aren't you going to check on Baili? Why did you come to Nade's house? And that small door is..."

Ares briefly told the two of what they had found. After hearing this, Lil's eyes drifted to the big rock, swallowed and asked, "... this Nad, won't be inside the big rock Did you hide the body?"

Xiao Liang was taken aback for a moment, and thought it was really possible.

Things like cement have high density and strong plasticity. After solidification, they can block air circulation. They are often used as a means of killing people and stealing goods. No one will find out, and the second is not afraid of the smell of corpses. The latter point also explains why the prime minister became excited. Murines are born with an extremely sensitive sense of smell for decay and blood.

The loyal mirror immediately asked: "Do you want to break the stone?"

Xiao Liangyi: "You don't need to completely destroy it, just check to see if there are people inside."

If it is a human being, without a professional doctor, no matter how long the murdered person is placed in the cement, they will not be able to perfectly separate the cement from the corpse. The left and right sides will be bloody and the face cannot be seen clearly, or there will be only a pile of white bones. It is better to be sure. After the body was found, Nade checked it out well.

Mirror punched the cement, the strength of the vampire should not be underestimated, it forcibly smashed a quarter of the stone, and as the cement scattered, several white things rolled to the ground, and it was possible to vaguely spell out that it was a human being. hand bones.

It really is a corpse!

Liers was stunned: "...Could it be that all the missing persons in this town are related to this old man? He killed all the people and sealed them in cement and put them in various places?!"

A trace of strangeness crossed Xiao Liang's mind. Liers' speculation was something normal people would think of logically, but he felt that the matter was far from that simple. After all, Nader's son was also within the range of disappearance. Could it be that he would kill him himself? own son?

According to Emma, ​​the relationship between Nader and Old Berry is really very good. If Nader was the murderer of the murder more than 20 years ago, why did he kill Elise and Jr. Berry?After all, the missing persons are all related to this murder case, could he really kill so many people with one bite?

"In any case, we have to find him first."

Rou Ren finally spoke: "Otherwise we will go back tomorrow, there are too few people, and the next thing we have to face is not only the murderer, but also the vampire."

This is not like what the high priest said, Xiao Liang raised his eyebrows.

Rou Ren avoids his gaze without a trace: "Aren't you afraid that I will have other thoughts when you look at me like this?"

The topic changed abruptly and he was still a little embarrassed, Xiao Liang said once again: "You want us to leave the town, what will happen here that you don't want to see?"

The other party turned his head and refused to answer your question.

Xiao Liang didn't care at all, and said to Jing and Liers respectively: "When Nade screamed, we just found a secret passage next door and rushed in. You broke in through the main entrance. Now there is no one on the first floor. Let's go Look on the second floor, if there is no other way out, no matter how bizarre it is, Nade must be inside, we must find him as soon as possible!"

Liers took a peek at the high priest, as if he felt that it was impossible for him to bring him back for no reason, Rou Ren resigned to his fate and stepped on the stairs on the second floor first.

The layout is very similar to that of the barber shop. There are only two rooms on the second floor, one is Nader's, and the other should be his son's, but the other is full of sundries.

Seeing Ares staring at the utility room for a while, Xiao Liang urged, "What's wrong?"

Ares asked: "If one day you find out that I haven't returned to the dormitory for a long time, will you throw away all my things?"

This should be asked by Lu Xiangsheng. Before the two of them traveled through different worlds, they were roommates in college. Xiao Liangyi replied naturally: "Why, I will play with the things you left every day like a pervert."

Ares gave a rare smile, as if he couldn't imagine his wretched appearance, and he couldn't hold back his character.

"Seriously, work fast, I think there are still a lot of things to do."

So the governor kissed him lightly on the cheek, and walked towards Nader's room obediently.
