Chapter 55: Framed?

  The old man who shouted "dinner is ready" outside the door was a thin, gaunt figure dressed in a black police uniform, exuding an aura of coldness and decay all over his body.

  A bowl of thin porridge was placed between two steel bars, and I dragged myself over with a painful abdomen, step by step.

  Kneeling half-way in front of the iron gate, she pursed her lips and gave the old man a glance.

  Just as I was about to reach out and grab the bowl, the old man suddenly kicked it with one foot. I shivered with cold, quickly withdrew my hand, but the rice porridge bowl was kicked over by the old man, and the icy rice soup instantly poured all over my clothes, pants.

  I glared at the old man with anger in my eyes, but he spat a mouthful of saliva onto my face.

  A warm, sticky mucus slid down my face, and I felt nauseous to the point of almost vomiting immediately. The foul smell was mixed with a hint of rotten garlic. My whole body trembling, I wiped it off and stared at the old man with a dead gaze.

  The old man looked at me coldly and said with a snort, "You should be grateful that you entered this room." After finishing the sentence, he turned around and left.

  I squinted my eyes and looked at his back, the stench on his face still stimulating my nostrils. I finally couldn't bear it, half-kneeling down to vomit.

  I don't know how much I threw up, but I curled back into a ball in the corner.

  I don't feel helpless yet, the old man's words are still echoing in my ears.

  "You should be grateful you got into this room."

  What are they implying about me by combining this sentence with their serious tone just now?

  Calm down and I quickly pieced together a series of events over this period of time.

  After entering Shen's house, both I and Shen thought there would be no more danger, but the murderer had secretly sneaked in and threatened Bai Mei. That night, Bai Mei's voice was not Shen's! I clenched my fists, but why didn't Shen discover it that day? Instead, it was me who woke up?

  The medicine, it must be that medicine - the murderer thought I heard the sound and would only think it was Bai Mei and Shen Zhong's normal life, or maybe there are other reasons that I haven't thought of yet.

  The next day, Shen Zhong left and couldn't come back that day, leaving only me and Bai Mei. So the murderer used 'medicine' to knock me out and attacked Bai Mei. Why didn't he do so on the first day?

  It can't be framed on me, I used 'medicine', framing is useless.

  That's right, it was provocative, and I thought of Liu Ya Mei's death with a sullen face.

  Shen Zhong told me that the murderer was provoking him - about Bai Mei's death?

  Thinking of this, I clenched my fists in fear. Could it be that the person really has a relationship with me? Was Shen heavy taken away, and he was worried about my safety, so he started taking action?

  Save me? After leaving the library, Shen Chong and I were pursued and killed. Why didn't he kill Shen Chong directly?

  Relying solely on reasoning has reached its limit, Shen said. Today, it can be confirmed who the murderer is, but Bai Mei is dead.

  Can I just wait now?

  Just then, suddenly, a slight vibration came from the wooden board 'bed' under him.

  My heart skipped a beat and I tensed up, shrinking into the corner.

  A familiar profile slowly poked out from under the "bed", I looked at his face and suddenly widened my eyes.

  Morning dew!

  I couldn't help but exclaim, and Chen Yan 's hand quickly covered my mouth, his large palm sending a familiar warmth.

  I couldn't help but tremble all over, staring intently at Chen Yan's face, which had lost some weight and grown a bit more stubble, but otherwise remained unchanged.

  Is he the murderer?

  "Hurry up, Mimi." Chen Yan's 'Lu' tightly pulled me and crawled under the bed.

  I struggled free from his grasp, pursing my lips and saying, "Why is it you." My voice was trembling, and the memories of our morning encounter still hadn't come back to me, but the feeling in my heart couldn't be wrong.

  Piercing pain, painful to breathe.

  Bai Mei's death, Liu Ya Mei, Huang Dàyé, Principal's father 'daughter'——

  Chen Yan 'Lu' looked at me with a very strange gaze, then cautiously glanced outside the iron gate, and whispered: "There's something going on, let's talk about it later, now leave here first, this place is too dangerous."

  I really want to shout out loud now and then catch 'Lu' off guard, but it's hard for me to make this decision in my heart.

  I covered my stomach and followed Chen Yan "Luo" slowly into the wooden board bed, where there was a small hidden passage.

  The entrance of the dark alley was just big enough for one person to squeeze through. Chen Yan 'Lu' gestured for me to go first, and my heart ached again.

  Tears were already swirling in my eyes, and when I tried to speak, the wound on my abdomen was pulled, causing me to grunt in pain. Chen Yan 'Lu' quickly rushed in, then used an iron plate to block the entrance, and tensely looked at me, asking: "Are you okay, Mimi?"

  Tears finally couldn't help but fall down, I swung my hand and slapped a palm on Chen Yan's face.

  In the darkness, I couldn't see his expression, but he must be astonished now, possibly also bewildered.

  Tears fell in big drops, I bit my lip and looked into Chen Yan's eyes, even in the dark of night, those eyes were still so bright, just like two precious gems. But thinking that so many lives had died at his hands, I didn't feel a single thread of hatred.

  "Mimi, what's wrong?" Chen Yan 'Lu' concerningly touched my face and whispered, "Let's get out of here first, it's really very dangerous."

  Yes, I hesitated. Perhaps from the moment I drilled into this 'hole', I never had a way back.

  Convict me of any crime, and I will fully accept it.

  "Let's start with 'Luo' in the morning study session." I took a light breath and said word by word.

  "Mimi, you're crazy, did you know what room you were in just now?" Chen Yan 'Lu' lowered her voice and then pushed me forward.

  This channel is like a magnified mouse hole, strangely, the morning dew cannot create such a channel.

  The workload is enormous and cannot be completed by one person alone. Moreover, I was caught and brought in less than a day ago.

  As I thought of this, I suddenly understood why they had brought me into this room.

  "The people locked in that room had no way of walking to the execution ground, they went in standing up but came out lying down, I don't know how many have died."

  I stopped and Chen Yan's 'Lu' pushed me with a look of surprise.

  My body was trembling a bit, and I couldn't escape from Chen Yan's "exposure" anymore.

  "Morning dew 'exposed', now, let's go surrender ourselves, we can't get out anyway." I've already imagined that the exit of this passage should be fully lined with police tape by now. I'm being used as bait, nothing will happen to me, but the best outcome for Morning Dew after going out is to be caught and then wait for the court's verdict. However, what I believe more is that Shen Zhong will shoot him in the head with one bullet to avenge Bai Mei, and then do a report -

  Chen Yan 'Lu' shouldn't be so stupid, why didn't he think of these?

  "Mimi, you're not guilty at all. What right do they have to lock you up in a death cell?" Chen Yan's voice was very firm as he said, "This tunnel is very secretive, don't worry."

  "Morning study 'Lu', you're clear, the person they want to catch is not me at all. You killed Bai Mei, Shen Zhong won't let you off——" My words hadn't finished yet, but Morning Study 'Lu' suddenly took out her phone and shone it on my face, saying in surprise: "I killed Bai Mei? Mimi, how could I possibly kill someone."

  "Morning study 'exposure', don't lie to me, Liu Yamei, the principal and others were all killed by you, why do you still want to deceive me." I snatched his mobile phone, holding back the sourness at the tip of my nose, and said in a trembling voice.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' grabbed my shoulder and said in a low, serious tone: "I didn't kill anyone, Mimi."

  "Morning dew, give up. If you don't come to save me, you still have a chance, but now, everything is too late." I closed my eyes and gently ground against Morning Dew's face, also unknowingly wiping away who knows how much dirt onto his face. Shen He said it was right - but I always feel like something isn't quite right.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' grabbed my hand and frowned: "First come out with me."

  "No way." I shook off his hand and asked, "Do you know why no one was guarding me just now?"

  "Morning study 'Lu' didn't speak, I pursed my lips and said word by word: 'They just want you to save me, then they can kill you. Bai Mei is dead, Shen Chong has gone mad, and the place where you killed people is still the family area of their major crimes unit, offending all police taboos. They won't let you live another day. Now leave from this passage, you don't even have the qualification to enter the court.'"

  Chen Yan 'Lu' stopped talking, I thought he was moved by me. Just as I was about to open my mouth to persuade him, he suddenly spoke up and said: "Do you know how I got out of the police station?"

  I shook my head and couldn't bear to say: "You killed them?"

  Chen Yan's expression suddenly turned bitter as he said, "I didn't kill them. Someone else did. That person was wearing a mask and then told me that I had been framed for murder and would be executed by firing squad soon. At the time, I was so anxious that I lost my composure."

  Listening to Chen Yanluo's words, a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on my back. It felt as if there was a huge conspiracy looming over me and Chen Yanluo.

  "Sure enough, Chen Yan 'Luo' continued: "The disease is urgent and the doctor is in a hurry. That person suddenly gave me a map and explained this underground passage to me. Let me come and save you. I was going to call Liu Ke with me, but I was afraid he would betray us. After all, jailbreaking is a serious crime, so I came alone. The things you said, I didn't know about them. When the principal died, we were together, including the death of other people, except for Bai Mei, weren't we all together? How could I have gone to kill them? Moreover, when Bai Mei died, I was still locked in prison."

  "It's over." I looked at Chen Yanlu pale-faced and bit my lip, saying: "We've all been used."

  His complexion also turned ugly, but immediately a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

  I was startled in my heart, feeling a chill run down my spine, and a cold sensation emanating from the face and body of Chen Yan's 'Luo'.

  He pulled out a small black handgun from his pocket and said with narrowed eyes, "That person also gave me this gun."

  "No way, you can't use him, otherwise it would be really inexplicable." I wanted to snatch the gun from his hand.

  Chen Yan shook her head and said in a cold voice: "We are all innocent, but if those police want to harm you, I will kill them first."

  When I heard Chen Yan's words "Lu", I was stunned.
