Chapter 29
Prison cell.
Four people sat on a pile of hay, staring at each other.
"Sister Li, was your and Bai Yunhan's plan to lock us up in the prison cell?" Su Mo couldn't help but ask.
"Now that the old Master Bai's death has become a fact, even if we know that Third Aunt is the murderer, we still don't know what her purpose is for staying in the Bai family. Bai Yunhan wants to figure out her purpose, so he can only lock us up so that Third Aunt will relax her vigilance and act quickly."
"Why don't we just catch her directly? Force her to confess!" Su Mo clenched her fist, "Anyway, she's no match for me!"
Sang Li glanced at her and said helplessly: "...If you were her, would you confess?"
Su Mo shook her head, "No confession!"
"..."
"Besides, she has accomplices. Her accomplice killed the pharmacy owner. We have to find her accomplice too!" Xia Miaomiao said meaningfully.
"Okay..." Su Mo fiddled with the straw in her hand.
Xiao Han's voice suddenly came over, "Don't say it! Don't say it really! These ancient prison cells are quite interesting!"
A few people turned their heads to see Xiao Han squeezing into the gap in the wooden door, "You said those prison cells on TV have such wide gaps in the wood that you can obviously squeeze out!"
She had just finished speaking when Xiao Han’s head squeezed out.
"Ah, you can really get out! You can really get out! What kind of broken prison is this!" Xiao Han tried to squeeze out, but found that she seemed unable to get out!
"That's not right!" Xiao Han tried again, but still couldn't get out.
She turned her head around for a bit, and finally gave up.
She was going to pull her head back out, but found that her head couldn't get back out at all!
"Ah, no way? Mo Mo, Sister Li, Miao Miao, come and help me quickly! I can't get out!"
"Hahahahahaha!" The three looked at her and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"No, do you guys have a conscience?" Xiao Han retorted.
The three were still laughing and couldn't stop.
"..."
When they finally laughed enough, Su Mo walked over, "What are you doing pretending to die? Why did you have to squeeze through there?"
"...Who knew I could get through but couldn't get back out again!"
Su Mo took out her phone and took a few pictures of her, "Hahaha, I'm recording your black history!"
"Su Mo, just you wait!!" Xiao Han shouted.
"Mo Mo, Sister Li, let's hurry up and think of a way to get her out." Xia Miaomiao said.
Su Mo put away her phone. The three of them worked at it together for half a day, pinching her ears, turning her head, pushing her shoulders, and messing with it for half a day without success.
Xiao Han's ears were rubbed red.
"Ah, no, this won't work!"
The three of them sat down on the ground, exhausted.
"No, why are you guys tired? I haven't shouted that I'm tired yet! Hurry up and think of a way!"
Sang Li waved her hand, "Xiao Han, there really is no way. We need a saw to saw through this wood! Let's wait until tonight. Bai Yunhan will send someone to pick us up secretly tonight!"
"What? Tonight? My neck is going to get cramps!"
"Didn't you say the ancient prison cells were quite interesting?" Su Mo said.
"...Ahhhhh!" Xiao Han yelled, "I hate transmigration!!"
Xia Miaomiao walked over, "Xiao Han, or let me give your neck a massage?"
"Wuwuwu, Miao Miao, you are still the best! Those two are just plastic sisters!"
......
That night, Yi and Fang Qing came to pick them up.
Fang Qing's leg had healed enough to walk, just a little lame.
"Sister Su, you guys are okay, right?" Yi asked.
"We're fine, but Xiao Han is in big trouble!" Su Mo pointed to Xiao Han next to her.
Yi and Fang Qing looked over and saw Xiao Han's head sticking out of the prison cell with her body still inside, a lifeless expression on her face.
Fang Qing immediately walked over, "Miss Xiao, what are you doing?"
Xiao Han glared at him and said weakly, "What does it look like? I had a brain fart!"
"You guys have to quickly find someone to get an axe to chop through this pillar so she can get out." Su Mo said.
"Oh, I'll go find a prison guard right away!" Yi immediately ran out.
After a while, Yi came back with prison guards. The moment the guards saw Xiao Han, they were all trying to hold in their laughter with serious expressions.
"Go ahead and laugh if you want to laugh, isn't it uncomfortable to hold it in?" Xiao Han yelled angrily.
"Hahahahahahaha!" The men laughed without restraint.
"..."
"A few older brothers, you've laughed enough, hurry up and get her out!" Su Mo said.
"Cough cough... we have to chop down this pillar, so this prison cell won't be able to hold anyone for now. We'll have to pay for the damages!" The prison guard said.
"Don't worry, we'll pay for it!" Fang Qing took out a bag of silver fragments from his clothes and handed it to the prison guard.
The prison guard took the silver and laughed, "The Bai family people are so generous!"
The pillar was chopped down and Xiao Han's head was finally pulled out. She twisted her neck and nearly pulled a muscle.
A few of them went out the back door of the prison cell. Yi and Fang Qing took the four girls to a secluded courtyard.
When they arrived in the room, they found that Bai Yunhan was there too.
"Are you girls okay?" Bai Yunhan immediately walked up and asked.
"We're fine." Sang Li hooked her lips at him.
"I've inconvenienced you girls."
"Young Master Bai, there's no need to be polite. Third Aunt will definitely send someone to inquire whether we've really been locked up in prison. Only after we're truly locked up will she believe it."
"Are you so certain that Third Aunt is the one who killed my father?" Bai Yunhan asked.
"Miao Miao, show Young Master Bai the video recording."
Xia Miaomiao took out her phone and opened the video she recorded today and handed it to Bai Yunhan.
"This is..." Bai Yunhan was a little surprised at the object in her hand.
"Don't mind what this is. Anyway, this is what happened at the Bai residence today. Third Aunt knows martial arts. The weapon is the ring on her hand."
This plan today was discussed with Bai Yunhan and Madam Bai last night. They deliberately staged this play in front of Third Aunt.
"Now she thinks we've been locked up in prison as murder suspects, she'll definitely relax her vigilance and act quickly. Young Master Bai must keep a close eye on her."
"But she knows martial arts and even killed my father. We probably won't be her match."
Su Mo heard this and turned to say, "You can rest assured. Her martial arts skills are very mediocre. Even Fang Qing could beat her! She was able to kill Master Bai because Master Bai was poisoned. Otherwise, she couldn't have killed Master Bai at all."
Bai Yunhan knitted his brows, "So she entered the Bai house two years ago with a purpose."
"Could it be an enemy? Or the daughter of some enemy?" Sang Li asked.
Bai Yunhan pondered and suddenly remembered something, sighing, "Speaking of this, I suddenly remember that my father did have an enemy, it's just that that family didn't have a daughter."
"Can you tell us?" Sang Li tentatively asked.
Bai Yunhan hesitated for a moment, "It's late, you ladies should rest early. This yard is where I usually read. It's relatively hidden and no one will find you here for now."
Sang Li knew he didn't want to speak further so she didn't ask anymore. "Alright, thanks, Young Master Bai for visiting. Please go slowly."
Sang Li saw him off at the door, seemingly as if suddenly remembering something. "Young Master Bai!" Sang Li called after him.
She leaned over and whispered softly in Bai Yunhan's ear, "Watch out for the unseen."
Sang Li's warm breath burst at Bai Yunhan's ear, making his ear roots a little hot. He looked at Sang Li and finally answered, "Okay."
After Bai Yunhan left, Su Mo suddenly asked, "Oh right, Miao Miao, how much battery life do you and Sister Li have left on your phones? We've been here for many days and I've noticed that my phone battery doesn't seem to have decreased much."
"I also discovered that my phone battery hasn't decreased either. It's still the same as when we were at the museum." Xia Miaomiao said.
"Could it be... our cheat?" Su Mo exclaimed in surprise.
"Haha, what kind of cheat is that?" Xiao Han said, "I don't even know where my phone is!"
Sang Li closed the door and looked at them, "Although we've been here for many days, maybe it's only been a few minutes or even a few seconds in our world, so the phone batteries have remained like this."
Su Mo couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "Wow, Sister Li, you're so clever!"
