Chapter 946 Knowing is not necessarily a bad thing
"Xiaoya! I'm here to pick you up..."
Seeing that he was about to fall, Fu Ling stepped forward to stop him and said, "Let the police handle it. If you rush in, you'll ruin the scene."
The curator paused, blaming himself deeply. "This is all my fault! If I had discovered the problem earlier, Xiaoya would have been fine. She was only twenty years old! Who on earth imprisoned her here?"
"Director, please don't get too excited. Now that the secret passage has been found, the truth will eventually come out. For now, we should maintain the scene and wait for the police to arrive before slowly investigating."
Uncle Liu suppressed his nausea and came in to take the curator out, while Fu Ling walked around the room.
After everyone left, Fu Ling came to the bed and looked under it, which was full of miscellaneous items.
Fu Ling reached out and lifted the bed and placed it against the wall. Then he pushed aside the debris on the floor, and a round wooden board appeared in front of him.
I squatted down and tried to open the wooden door, but found that it was fixed from the bottom. I guess someone locked it from the bottom.
With a little force on his hands, Fu Ling used violence to open the wooden door.
The moment I opened it, I felt a cool breeze, and it was obvious that there was no dead end below.
That's why the system map clearly shows that this underground passage leads directly to the outside.
I think the murderer usually enters the house from there. Once he finds a suitable target, he will knock the person unconscious and bring him in from the bathroom, and then seal the wall again. If you don't observe carefully, you won't notice that there is anything wrong with the wall.
Just as she was about to go down to check the situation, a red dot suddenly appeared on the system screen, and the red dot automatically moved towards her...
"Behave yourself!" Fu Ling stepped on the "suspect".
From his appearance, it can be identified that this man is the handyman hired by the library.
His exposed skin was bumpy and the flesh was turned outward, probably due to frequent scratching.
His face and head were wrapped in black cloth, revealing only a pair of terrifying eyes. His right eye had no pupil and was completely white. Only his left eye was normal.
Because he is too thin, his eyes are particularly big, especially when he stares, it looks like his eyes are about to fall out at any time.
Xiao Zhou had been wandering around the toilet. When he heard some unusual noises inside, he was worried that a female comrade might be in danger, so he rushed in with a flashlight in his hand and his nose pinched.
As a result, even the handyman was lying on the ground with a foot on his back. Although he tried hard to get up, he failed.
"Uh... do you need help?" Xiao Zhou asked weakly.
The police came quickly and took the man away. Since Fu Ling was the first person to discover the matter, he went to the police station with the curator to record his statement.
After several interrogations by the police, the truth soon came to light.
It is impossible to know who built the secret passage in the library, and the person who knew about it is no longer in this world.
And the handyman told us that Xiaoya's disappearance fifty years ago was caused by the second director.
At that time, the handyman's father worked in the library and was also responsible for some cleaning work. His monthly salary was not high and he could only barely make ends meet.
Until one day he discovered the director's secret. The director was worried that he would tell the truth, so he bribed him with money.
Since then, the quality of life at home has improved a lot and things are getting better.
This matter was not exposed until the second director stepped down.
Thanks to his father, the handyman inherited his father's job and continued to stay in the library doing odd jobs. Because he was born ugly, he could not find any other job.
Fortunately, the new director was a nice person. Considering that his father had worked diligently and steadily in the library for so many years, he agreed to let his son continue his work.
The day before his son went to work, he told his son the secret of the library.
He had originally reminded him out of good intentions, after all, human lives were involved there. However, he did not expect that after his death, it would become the place where his son committed a crime.
"Oh my God! This is too scary!" Mother Lu was frightened after hearing this.
If Lingling hadn't discovered that place, wouldn't Niannian be in danger? She was just a child under ten years old.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got: "That thing is worse than an animal! He didn't even let a nine-year-old child go! Is he still human?"
"Damn it! Lingling, will he be executed?"
"He has several lives on his hands, and the death penalty is inevitable."
"God is truly merciful. This library is so horrible. So many people have gotten into trouble, yet no one has been suspected for decades. If Lingling hadn't been careful, our Nian Nian would have been killed by that beast." Mother Lu was furious at this moment, and she wished she could cut the murderer into pieces.
"Mom, I'm going to go see Nian Nian."
"Okay, by the way, Lingling, we didn't tell Nian Nian the truth. We didn't want this incident to leave a shadow in her heart."
"Mom, Nian Nian isn't as fragile as you think. It's not a bad thing to tell her about this. No matter where she goes in the future, it's a good thing to be more careful. We can't always be by her side. She still has to rely on herself in the future. This is a good opportunity for her to grow."
Everyone thought it made sense. Mother Lu thought for a moment and nodded, "Lingling, what you said makes some sense. Then you should discuss with Xiaoci whether to tell Nian Nian about this."
"Okay, you guys go to bed early. I'll go check on Nian Nian first."
"Wait, you came back so late, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? It's not too late to eat first and then go."
Tian Youhua quickly stood up: "The food is warming up for you, I'll go get it."
"Auntie Tian, there's no need to bother. I'll go to the kitchen to eat after I'm done. You guys can go and rest if you need to. I can do it myself."
"Knock! I'm Second Aunt, Nian Nian, can I come in?"
"Second Aunt, come in, the door is not locked."
"Are you back?" Kong Ci tightened her grip unconsciously.
"Yeah, just finished something."
"Has that person... been caught?" Kong Ci asked uncertainly.
"He's been caught and taken away by the police. I just came out of the police station."
Kong Ci patted his chest and finally felt relieved.
Fu Ling walked to the bedside and said to Lu Nianci lovingly, "Niannian, are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Nianci shook her head innocently: "No, I just felt a little tired when I woke up at first, but I'm fine now. Second Aunt, why did I fall asleep today? I remember I was reading in the library with Mr. Qu and the others, and then I went to the bathroom. I don't know what happened next."
Fu Ling didn't rush to answer Lu Nianci's question, but looked at Kong Ci: "I think Nian Nian has the right to know the truth. This may not be bad for her in the future."
Kong Ci shuddered. According to her thoughts, she didn't want to tell Nian Nian about this matter, worried that it would leave a shadow in the child's heart.
