Chapter 138 Passing the test
Right where the tea table was on the carriage, the original tea table had disappeared, as if it had vanished out of thin air.
She looked carefully at the place where the tea table was originally placed, reached out and knocked on it, only to find that it was empty.
There must be some mechanism button here. She looked carefully and found that there was indeed a button just below her seat. She pressed it casually, and then she saw that the place where the tea table was originally placed opened like a small door.
She just lay down quickly, and then she found that there was also space under the seat. With the seats connected together, there was no problem for one person to lie down!
Xin Youran immediately had an idea. If she put Old Li in first and then restored it to its original appearance with a tea table, wouldn't she be able to get away with it?
At this moment she heard someone knocking on the carriage door.
She took a quick look through the crack in the door and found that it was Lao Guan, so she opened the carriage door.
Then Lao Guan got into the carriage.
"I just went to inquire about it. They said there was a serial murder case in the city. The murderer might escape from the city tonight, so we are investigating."
After Lao Guan finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong inside the carriage, and then he looked over carefully.
Xin Youran hurriedly explained, "I discovered that Old Li's carriage has a lot of secrets. This space is big enough for Old Li to lie down in, and then put the tea table back in place. This way, no matter who searches, they won't find anything."
Lao Guan nodded. He didn't seem overly shocked, probably because he knew that Lao Li was a clever person.
He pointed at the bloody clothes on Xin Youran's body, and she realized belatedly that the biggest problem now was not Lao Li but herself.
Just as she was thinking about how to get through, Lao Guan got off the carriage, found a set of clean clothes from somewhere, and handed it to her through the carriage door.
"These are Lao Li's spare clothes. Please change into them quickly. We will move Lao Li there temporarily as you said."
"We must leave the city as soon as possible, otherwise something bad will happen."
His original plan was to fight his way out, but he didn't expect that in the end he would still have to thank Lao Li...
Xin Youran took the clothes and quickly changed her blood-stained clothes, and gently wiped the blood off her face.
"Lao Guan, I'm fine now."
"Old Guan?"
Lao Guan, who had been waiting at the carriage door, had not said a word. Xin Youran opened the carriage door and took a look, only to find that he had been staring blankly at one place.
"Lao Guan, why are you in a daze? Come up quickly and help move Lao Li downstairs."
Lao Guan then hurriedly got on the carriage, and the two of them worked together to put Lao Li on the air layer in the carriage.
"Old Li, I'm sorry to bother you for a moment. We'll be going home soon..."
Xin Youran pressed the button under the seat again, and soon the small door of the partition floor closed automatically.
Then he quietly got off the carriage, found the red cloth strip, pulled it again, and then fixed the red cloth strip at a place at the bottom of the carriage.
After she got into the carriage, everything returned to normal.
She breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in her original seat.
At this time, Lao Guan also drove his carriage towards the city gate.
Although everything was ready, Xin Youran was still inexplicably nervous. The bloody clothes she had taken off were now placed under the cushion she was sitting on. If they lifted the cushion, they would be able to see it quickly. She had also deliberately wrapped the bloody noodles inside. If I picked it up and looked carefully, I wouldn't be able to find anything.
I'm afraid that if I smell carefully, I can definitely smell the blood in this carriage...
She tightened the dagger hidden in her sleeve, and decided to act accordingly. If the inspection was strict, she would have to cut herself and let her bleed...
It hurts to think about.
The key is to think about which knife is more reasonable...
As for her hands, her index finger had indeed taken Mu Yuan's blood not long ago, but it was not enough to have the smell of blood that could be smelled immediately.
If all else fails, just cut your calf and say you accidentally broke a vase and injured your calf?
Just when Xin Youran was racking her brains, the carriage suddenly stopped!
Oh my god, it can’t be so fast!
Her heart was in her throat, and she held her breath and listened attentively to the noise outside.
"Hello, sir."
"Where are you from and where are you going?"
"My dear, my little sister has unfortunately caught a severe cold, so I came to the capital to see a doctor."
"It's not that late to return to the village."
As he said this, Lao Guan took out the pass and gave it to the soldier.
The officer read the pass, looked around the carriage, and then waved his hand to let them leave the city.
Xin Youran: ...
Isn't this too easy?
But she clearly saw that other people and carriages were checked very carefully, so why was theirs so smooth?
Maybe the Buddha heard her prayers?
No matter what, I finally passed this level, and I didn’t get stabbed once. It’s a win, a win.
She chose to rush to Crescent Valley overnight, largely because this was the safest time.
The criminals who attacked them outside the capital have been captured by the men led by Mu Yuan.
It is impossible for the person behind the scenes to redeploy personnel in such a short time and attack her again.
The most dangerous time is also the safest time.
Lao Guan must have been in a hurry along the way, so the carriage was moving very fast and was not as steady as Lao Li's driving.
Xin Youran was a little worried about Lao Li's condition...
The journey was fast, so the time it took them to reach Crescent Valley was greatly shortened.
"Lao Guan, let's go straight to the old monster's house!"
Lao Guan didn't say anything, but Xin Youran looked outside the curtain and saw the road to the old monster's house.
Because she really didn't know what to do...
How should I explain this to Lao Li’s family?
After all, so many people were probably coming for her, and Lao Li's death was an unprovoked disaster for their family.
She might never be able to repay it in this lifetime...
The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the old monster's house.
Oddly enough, he was already waiting at the door.
Xin Youran hurriedly jumped off the carriage and repeated the operation of the mechanism on the carriage. Then she ran over and called the old monster.
At this moment, she didn't know how to tell the old monster about Lao Li's death...
"Don't blame yourself. Everyone has their own choices and destiny."
"This is Lao Li's own choice."
"And he's been prepared all the time for the past two years."
It turns out that the old monster already knew?
How could his news come so quickly?
"Lao Guan, please bring in Lao Li's body."
"Also, inform the villagers to prepare for Old Li's funeral tomorrow. Let Old Wang and the others start preparing."
Xin Youran interrupted him, "No, where are Lao Li's family?"
"Shouldn't we go to his house first to inform his family?"
As soon as she said this, Lao Guan and the old monster both looked at her.
After a long while, the old monster finally spoke: "What kind of family could Lao Li have?"
"If we talk about family, you should be the first one, and then the villagers..."
