"Let's get started," Xu Chu was sitting like a student waiting for a professor to point out a thesis.

The design drawing of the study room is the most complicated one among all the rooms. Compared with the general drawing, a lot of wiring has been added, and the twists and turns are very complicated. Huo Changzhi racked his brains to describe it. Speaking of half.

Huo Changzhi sat across from Xu Chu at first, then simply moved the drawing to Xu Chu's front, and held his hand to trace the trajectory of the lines.

"Here it should be..." Under the guidance of Huo Changzhi, Xu Chu touched the rough texture of the drawing with his fingers.

The design drawing was hand-drawn by Huo Jiuan, and finally the line was drawn with a pen, leaving some marks. Xu Chu circled around in a circle: "Is this the direction of the wall on the side of the projection screen?"

"Yes." After checking, Huo Changzhi confirmed Xu Chu.

"Take me there." Xu Chu stood up and took Huo Changzhi's arm.

Huo Changzhi estimated a location and led Xu Chu over there.

The door of the study was also locked, but the room was still fully carpeted. Xu Chu stood still at that spot, touched it for a while, then turned to call Huo Changzhi: "Brother Huo, help me look here."

Huo Changzhi also squatted down, Xu Chu grabbed his hand: "Touch, is there a depression here?"

Huo Changzhi felt the touch of his hands. On the base fabric at the bottom of the thick blanket, there was indeed a thin line that was sunken, about ten centimeters, as Xu Chu said, and then turned at a right angle and stretched forward.

Huo Changzhi followed Xu Chu around and found a square.

Xu Chu pressed his finger against the dent in the blanket and pushed it in, but he couldn't get it in, so he pulled the blanket and pulled it out, trying to uncover it. Huo Changzhi saw that Xu Chu couldn't see anything and was struggling, so he told him to let go, and he pulled a corner of the square by himself, pulling up the blanket with a casual tug, revealing the dark wooden floor.

"Are you looking for something to pry it up?" Huo Changzhi asked, wanting to find scissors in the kitchen.

Xu Chu asked him to wait, knelt on one side, bent over and groped for the floor, pushed forward, and the floor was smoothly pushed away.

There was a keyhole hidden under the floor, and a thin layer of dust covered it.

Xu Chu pushed it away, and was about to poke his fingertips down, but Huo Changzhi caught him: "It's the keyhole, don't touch it, it's a bit dirty."

"Among the keys you brought, are there any that seem to work?" Xu Chu asked.

Huo Changzhi asked him to wait, went to the living room and brought a large bunch of keys, and looked carefully at the keyhole.

The keyhole is a very old-fashioned round lock, and there is only one key in the whole bunch. Huo Changzhi guessed it was this one, so he pointed it at the keyhole and wanted to try it.

Xu Chu held him down: "Don't open it yet."

"What's wrong?" Huo Changzhi asked.

Xu Chu said pitifully, "I'm a little hungry."

12:00 am

In the end, it was the lunch made by Xu Chu, he had a deep love for the kitchen, before Huo Jiuan locked the kitchen and he couldn't play, but now that the door is open, Huo Changzhi doesn't care about him, he can't wait to sleep in the kitchen after making breakfast.

Huo Changzhi didn't care about him.

It had been more than 20 hours since he lost contact. For Huo Changzhi, playing the escape room with Xu Chu was more like killing time while waiting for his subordinates to contact the police to find him.

It is the best that Xu Chu can tear down the prison Huo Jiuan made, and he can take Xu Chu out if he can't. None of this is a problem.

But after twenty hours, all the cells in his body couldn't adapt to such an idle and passive situation, and his restless heart began to beat against the changes, making him anxiously restless, always thinking about how far the search and rescue had progressed. Looking forward to someone breaking into the door in the next second, but also afraid that the next time will be difficult to spend if the expectation is too high.

Huo Changzhi doesn't like to make idle guesses very much, because guessing will only affect the mood, not the facts.

However, being trapped in this square inch, everyone can't help thinking wildly.

Fortunately, the alarm clock set by Xu Chu in the kitchen rang, diverting some of his attention.

Xu Chu has an auxiliary timing alarm clock for the blind, which can tell the time by voice, which plays a big role in cooking. The alarm clock jingled a few times, a female voice announced "five minutes", and the kitchen was buzzing.

Xu Chu came out with dishes, a plate of cold vegetables and a plate of white meat with dipping sauce.

"The rice is in the pot, you go serve it." Xu Chu told Huo Changzhi.

When Huo Changzhi entered the kitchen, he was in a mess. He turned his head and looked at Xu Chu, who said to him with an innocent face, "Brother Huo, I want half a bowl of rice first."

Blind people should stop cooking, how healthy it is to eat boiled noodles. Huo Changzhi served him half a bowl of rice.

I have to say that Xu Chu's cooking is much more delicious than Huo Changzhi's. The dipping sauce is hot and sour, and the white meat is steamed just right. Conjure a big table of dishes for him.

Xu Chu couldn't see it himself, so he instructed Huo Changzhi to pick up some food for him first, and then use a spoon to eat the rice, mixing a bowl of cat rice like a kindergarten kid.

Xu Chu mixed the food well, put it into his mouth, and made a long, satisfying sound.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Huo Changzhi didn't understand Xu Chu's relaxation because he was unhappy.

"It's very good," Xu Chu admitted, "because I'm free again."

Xu Chu's brisk expression moved Huo Changzhi, making him feel that the waiting time was not so difficult.

"And brother Huo is with me," Xu Chu said, "Huo Jiu'an usually brings me food at noon, and he is always the one talking."

Huo Changzhi thought of Xu Chu's cold and disgusted tone when he just entered the door yesterday, and the situation between him and Huo Jiu'an must be tense.

"Actually, I'm afraid that you are still Huo Jiuan," Xu Chu said softly, "After all, I can't see it either. Just now when you wanted to unlock the lock, I was wondering if you could have colluded and opened the lock, and Huo Jiuan would Wait for me at the door."

"So you won't let me drive?"

Xu Chu shook his head: "No, it suddenly occurred to me that there is a pressure sensor at the gate, so what if there is one behind the locked door? You can't understand the picture, I can't see the picture, and we don't lack time. Don't act rashly, read the design drawings before talking."

Huo Changzhi thought about it and agreed.

After eating for a while, he told Xu Chu: "There will be no Huo Jiu'an, now you search the whole Xiangdao, and you can only find me."

Xu Chu lowered his head while eating, and fell silent.

2:00pm

Xu Chu ate too much for lunch, saying that the blood was concentrated in his stomach and he couldn't think, so he had to lie down and rest for a while.

Huo Changzhi consciously went to the kitchen to wipe his buttocks, making the kitchen visible, but Xu Chu was still lying on the ground turning left and right, out of shape.

"Xu Chu," Huo Changzhi walked over, not knowing what to do with this wriggling creature, "Is this what you plan to do this afternoon?"

Xu Chu turned over and lay on his back: "I'm waiting for you."

"What are you waiting for me to do?" Huo Changzhi sat on the sofa beside him, his feet not far from Xu Chu's head.

"Didn't you say that there is a projector in Huo Jiu'an's study? Turn on his computer to see what he usually does." Xu Chu spread his hands flat, and touched Huo Changzhi's feet as soon as he touched them.

He changed his prone position again, crawled towards Huo Changzhi, and lay down on his lap: "I'm too tired, Brother Huo, carry me on your back."

Huo Changzhi is a serious and serious person. When he was the youngest, he encountered similar behavior in Fengyuechang. At that time, he had just started to take over Huo's business from his grandfather. Men and women wanted to climb on him with a smell of fat and powder. Huo Changzhi Once met, he would choose to leave directly, and soon after everyone knew his likes and dislikes, he avoided this trick.

Xu Chu is like this today, maybe it's because Xu Chu was joking, not mixed with lust or interests, Huo Changzhi didn't feel disgusted, he just felt that Xu Chu was a little tricky.

But immediately, Xu Chu stood up on his knees, leaned over and touched his hand: "Hand in hand is also fine."

Huo Changzhi silently raised his hand, avoiding Xu Chu, stood up, held his elbow and went to the study.

Huo Jiu'an's computer has a power-on password, Xu Chu gave eight numbers blankly, and Huo Changzhi logged in as soon as he entered it.

"The previous one was Huo Jiuan's birthday, right?" Huo Changzhi said, "I remember his birthday was in mid-September."

Xu Chu nodded: "Yes, the last one is my birthday, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Huo Changzhi glanced at him and looked at the files that Huo Jiuan had browsed recently.

The last thing he opened was a video file, only a little over ten megabytes, with the title "Senior".

Huo Changzhi clicked on it without asking Xu Chu, and projected it on the projection screen.

What was filmed on the screen was the back of a man in a lecture theater. The blackboard was still empty, and there were a few students sitting sparsely in front of him.

"What are you shooting?" The figure asked the photographer without looking back, his voice was a bit cold, but his tone was gentle.

Huo Changzhi felt Xu Chu's body stiffen.

"Shooting you, senior." The photographer said.

The back turned around, and it turned out to be Xu Chu who was a little more student-like. Huo Changzhi was right. When Xu Chu could see it, his eyes were extremely flexible. His amber pupils looked at the camera with a smile and indulgence: " Then should I do something to match you?"

"Smile?" the photographer asked.

"Okay." Xu Chu smiled at the photographer.

The video stopped, leaving Xu Chuxiao on the screen.

Both Huo Jiuan and Xu Chu were silent. After thirty or forty seconds, Xu Chu said: "You may think that you have guessed my relationship with Huo Jiuan, or the past, but I can assure you that what you think is quite different from the facts. .”

"I didn't guess," Huo Changzhi said, "You can tell me yourself."

Xu Chu opened his mouth hesitantly and said, "Let's... next time."

3:00pm

Huo Changzhi didn't expect Xu Chu to tell him so soon,
