The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 61 Partridge (15)

I was dumbfounded, this gangster who wanted to be a flower picker turned out to be a policeman, and it seemed that his status was not low!No wonder he was able to find Guhuai Town and Qin Jian at that time.I was stunned for a long time before I said: "You are a policeman, sorry, what is your face?"

Bu Ying coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and persuade the people inside to surrender."

I just came back to my senses, hurried to the women's cell, talked to the people inside, and told them that Qin Jian misunderstood what Gu Yin meant back then, and that this prison shouldn't exist in the first place. Recalcitrant, they have wasted ten years, so there should be no needless casualties.

I spoke with emotion and emotion, but the people inside were indifferent.Bu Ying was a little surprised when he heard my words, and said: "So this prison came about like this."

"You should have known this was a prison?" I asked him.

He nodded and said: "I went back and checked in many ways. The National Government launched the Northern Expedition in the 15th year of the Republic of China. At that time, a large number of intellectuals were displaced. The National Government had no time to take care of them, so it entrusted many non-governmental forces to escort them to a safe zone. At that time, Gu Yin left with more than [-] people, but they all disappeared later. It was Qin Jian who followed him to escort these people. The letter that Qiu Yehong sent you was addressed to Qin Jian, and the address is Guhuai Town, that’s why I found this place, but I found that Qin Jian actually turned this place into a prison and imprisoned these people.”

We were talking, when a policeman suddenly screamed, we were startled at the same time, and turned our heads to look at the female prisoner's cell.I saw bursts of thick smoke coming out from the cracks in the door and under the cell, floating towards us.How could there be smoke coming out of the cell?I was startled, my forehead was sweating, I trembled all over, and said in a trembling voice: "They... set themselves on fire in prison!"

When Bu Ying heard this, he immediately said in a hurry: "Quick, knock the door open."

A few police officers responded with a loud bang, and began banging their shoulders on the door continuously. The inside was not locked, and it opened as soon as they hit.But just as the police were about to rush in, there was a burst of gunshots in the thick smoke. Fortunately, the police were all scattered on both sides of the gate, so they were not shot. But when the gunshots rang out, no one dared to rush in again. up.

The smoke in the cell was getting thicker.I stared blankly inside, with my hands firmly grasping my thighs. These people followed Qin Jian and worked here as guards for ten years. Seeing that Qin Jian died and the prison no longer existed, they chose to be with the prison. Die together.I have traveled all over the world for so many years, but I was so shocked by this group of bandit-born people that I was speechless.

What are they thinking in their hearts?

At this time, the prisoners in the men's cell also saw that the group of people who rushed in were the police, who came to rescue them, and there was no danger outside at this time, so they all came out one after another.After they came out, they saw the smog in the women's cell, and knew that the guards were setting themselves on fire inside, so they all watched quietly.

After a while, suddenly someone covered his face and began to cry, sobbing softly at first, and then crying loudly.Immediately afterwards, almost all the prisoners began to cry bitterly, and some even cried out of breath, almost fainting.

There was a burst of crying in the open space, one after another.Bu Ying and I looked at each other in blank dismay. Originally, it was puzzling that the guards would rather set themselves on fire than surrender. Now what is the situation with these people crying here?Are you crying for the coming freedom, or for the ten years of dying here?

They tried their best to escape, but they failed. They were already in a desperate situation, but suddenly found that someone came to save them.This kind of great sadness and joy may be really hard to understand for those who have not experienced it personally.We all looked at everything in front of us silently, and it took me a long time to remember that Gu Yue and Jindi didn't come out with them.Thinking of Gu Yue's weird behavior, I couldn't help feeling a little worried, so I turned around and went into the cell again.

In the cell, Jin Di was no longer lying on the ground.I walked over and saw her sitting on Gu Yue's bed, holding Gu Yue in her arms, with a dazed expression on her face, she yelled badly, and rushed into the cell immediately.As soon as she entered the cell, she saw Jin Di covering Gu Yue's chest with her hand, blood seeped from her fingers, dripping to the ground, like the sound of a western clock.

A bony toothbrush was inserted into Gu Yue's chest, and the handle of the toothbrush was ground into the shape of a triangular cone.What he once said to me sounded in my mind, "If you want a toothbrush to kill people, you can't grind the handle flat and thin, otherwise it will be easy to break when piercing the human body. It must be ground into a triangular cone, which ensures It is sharp and not easy to break." He also pointed to his chest and said, "As long as you are determined enough to poke the toothbrush handle here hard, no one can stop you, and you can go wherever you want."

On that moonlit night several years ago, when he was about to commit suicide, he was saved by the song "Partridge Flying".After many years, tonight, the toothbrush that he had been grinding for a long time finally came in handy, at the moment when he was about to be free.

When Jindi heard someone approaching, she raised her head and looked at me, and asked in a daze, "Why? Why?"

I feel sad, but I can understand Gu Yue's death.If a person puts all his heart and energy on a certain sustenance, when this sustenance suddenly breaks, he will feel that everything has become illusory, and he will fall into despair.I didn't tell Jindi the real reason for Gu Yue's death. Although she didn't do anything wrong, it has something to do with her - it was she who asked Qin Jian to give her a piece of bamboo to make a bamboo flute That's why Gu Yue misunderstood, thinking that she played the tune.

I stood in the cell for a while, not knowing how to comfort her, so I left with a sigh, leaving her the last time.After walking out of the cell, Bu Ying saw that my complexion was very bad, and asked, "What's wrong?"

I was silent for a while, and told him about Gu Yue.Bu Ying gave a wry smile when he heard this, and sighed, "It's really a strange prison, with a group of strange jailers guarding strange prisoners."

People's hearts are full of strange things, even if some things are incomprehensible, they can't be called strange.I thought to myself, what happened in this whole prison is absurd, but seriously, no one can be called a bad person.Seeing that I didn't respond, Gu Yin asked again: "You came here to find Gu Yin's whereabouts, did you find anything?"

After he said this, I remembered what Qin Jian said to me before he died, so I told him, and also said my speculation.Gu Yin left here ten years ago, presumably because he got some clue about the tragedy of the Wei family. He should have followed the clue to find out the truth of the matter.It is also because of this that he failed to return here in the end, which created this prison that should not have existed.

"You mean, Gu Yin found out the truth about the tragedy of the Wei family, so there was an accident?" Bu Ying said. "Then Qin Jian told you, where did he go ten years ago?"

I nodded and told him that there was a letter in the drawer of Qin Jian's room, which was to be sent to Hushan.Gu Yin went to Hushan ten years ago, but I don't know where Hushan is.

"You don't know where Hushan is?" Bu Ying said slowly.

"You know?" I asked him.

"I know, it's a well-known bandit den. Interestingly, Qin Jian was born as a bandit, and Gu Yin went to Hushan alone ten years ago. Do you think there is any relationship between this?"

Naturally, I didn't know whether it was related, and I couldn't answer, so I went to Qin Jian's room with Bu Ying, and I found a letter from his drawer. The envelope only said "send to Hushan", but There are no recipients.However, the handwriting on the envelope is different from the one I sent. It should not be written by Gu Yin, but by Qin Jian.

"The Qin bamboo slips came from Hushan, right?" I suddenly thought of this and asked Bu Ying.

"There is still a difference between a Jiangyang bandit and a bandit," Bu Ying said, "I am a Jiangyang bandit, how could I know about the bandit? But since there is a letter here, and you are a patrol horse, you know what to do?"

Since Gu Yin went to Hushan ten years ago, I naturally have to go to Hushan.I put the letter in my arms and walked out of the room with Bu Ying.At this time, the police were already arranging the aftermath, and settled the prisoners. They were going to rest here overnight, and they would be taken away the next day. As for how to arrange them, they had to wait until they arrived in the provincial capital. .

In the early morning of the second day, the police made breakfast with the food stored in the prison, and asked everyone to leave after eating.At this time, I don't know which prisoner was the leader, but all the prisoners started to enter the women's cell, and moved out the bodies of the guards. They must be buried before going on the road.

They buried the guards, maybe they were also burying the past ten years.I told Bu Ying not to stop them.So the prisoners carried out the corpses of all the guards, dug a big pit in front of the prison, and buried the corpses in it.Another pit was dug and the bodies of the dead prisoners were buried.

Seeing that they dug up four corpses from the ground in the cell, Bu Ying opened his mouth wide in shock.I told him the prison escape plan carried out by Gu Yue and others. These people were all taken away by "ghosts", which made Bu Ying terrified.

Jindi has not spoken since Gu Yue's death, but digs a hole silently by himself, intending to bury Gu Yue alone.I went over to help her move Gu Yue's body out, removed another bed board, and helped her write a tombstone and put it in front of the grave.Then a group of people hit the road and left this ridiculous place.

Bu Ying and I walked at the end of the line, he looked at the brocade flute in front of him, and suddenly said to me: "There is something wrong with this woman."

"Huh?" I looked at him incredulously.

"When the guards who came back from the outside drove the prisoners back to the prison, I went in among the prisoners, so I saw more than you." Bu Ying rubbed his nose and said, "At that time, those guards opened the cell door and put the Qin slips. Waiting for someone to come out. As soon as Qin Jian came out, he went back to his room and played the bamboo flute nervously. The woman followed him in at that time, as if she was trying to snatch his flute from inside. When I left the room again, I saw that woman was holding a dagger in her hand."

"That dagger belongs to the Jindi?" I was taken aback, "Where did she get the dagger?" Just after finishing speaking, I suddenly remembered that when Wu You was selected for the long and short, many people used their own things to compensate him. Among them was the scabbard of a dagger.Presumably this dagger belonged to a prisoner, and was confiscated by Qin Jian and placed in his room. Jin Di got the dagger after entering.

"Originally, the dagger was held by that woman," Bu Ying said, "but during the fight between the two, it somehow fell into Qin Jian's hands, and then the woman fell to the ground. You said she Is there something wrong, he is just getting nervous, why does she insist on grabbing his flute?"

"You're the only one who has a problem." I said angrily, but I thought in my heart, it must be Jindi who saw Qin Jian playing the bamboo flute, and she always thought that "Partridge Flying" was played by Gu Yue, and the bamboo flute was Qin Jian It was snatched from Gu Yue, so I want to snatch it back for him.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel a little embarrassed.These two people thought that the song was played by the other party, but one collapsed and committed suicide, and the other almost died because of it. How cruel the good fortune really is!
I thought with a heavy heart, so I took out the letter in my arms, and speculated about the place I was going to.This place called Hushan is a bandit den, but why is the tragedy of the Wei family related to a bandit den?What clue did Gu Yin find there, and what kind of truth is waiting for me?
I sighed and looked back at Guhuai Prison.It is easy to get foggy in the early morning in the mountains, but the Guhuai Prison was hidden in the clouds and fog, leaving me only a blur.
