Chapter 229: Engagement

~7 min read 1,395 words

After watching the recording in the camera, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe left the water room, climbed the prison's outer wall, and retrieved the other camera installed there.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had installed two cameras in the prison, one on the eaves of the water room, filming the basketball court below; this was the one he had just taken down.

The other was on top of the high wall, hidden under the high-voltage electric barbed wire, filming the ventilation opening of the prison building opposite.

However, when Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took down the second camera, the camera's eye was not aimed at the prison building inside the wall, but facing the forest outside the wall. Looking along the direction the camera was filming, one could just see the cenotaph he had set up for the prison guard under the tree, but the simple tombstone made of a wooden stick with a work badge hanging on it was no longer there.

"Someone has been here." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stuffed the camera into his bag and leaped back to the ground.

Most surveillance equipment on the market has a switchable automatic tracking mode. Once turned on, the camera will automatically turn its head when it identifies a moving human figure, focusing the person in the center of the screen for tracking and filming.

In other words, during the time he was away earlier, someone walked past within the camera's surveillance range, from inside the wall to outside the wall, all the way to the cenotaph under the tree.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe left the scene, turned into a flying insect, and hid deep in the prison building, hiding in a locked, hidden room, and began to view the footage filmed by the second camera.

The prison in the dead of night was quiet. Most of the time, the screen was empty. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe fast-forwarded through the useless garbage time, and soon, a thin figure walked out from the side door of the prison. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe released the fast-forward button.

Infrared cameras have night vision capabilities, but the trade-off is that the image quality and clarity are not as good as ordinary full-color cameras, and the image colors are distorted. Plus, the high wall where the camera was located was far from the prison, so Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe couldn't see the person's features clearly on the screen, only barely distinguishing the person's attire.

This person... was wearing a prison guard uniform.

"This should be the one the prisoner mentioned earlier, the prison guard who untied the Inverted Ghost." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stared unblinkingly as the prison guard walked out of the prison side door and hurried across the road to the prison wall.

——Chenyu Valley Prison has three entrances and exits: the west front gate for escorting prisoners, the north side gate for transporting supplies, and the east back gate opposite the front gate.

That prison guard arrived at the side gate, took a key from his bosom, opened the small door next to the main gate for personnel passage, left the prison lightly, and went outside the wall.

The camera on the wall tracked the prison guard the whole time, the perspective following his footsteps from inside the prison all the way to outside.

Looking at the hurried figure on the screen, a sense of familiarity rose in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's heart.

"This person's pants are too long, the wide pant legs completely cover the shoe surface, both shoulders are also somewhat sloped, and the fabric at the waist is also too baggy... The prison guard uniform hangs loosely on him, not fitting at all."

He had seen the same characteristics on another prison guard. That was when he was being chased by the Inverted Ghost earlier, he heard crying in the lounge by the basketball court, used his shadow to sneak into the bathroom, and saw a prison guard, also in a baggy uniform, sitting on the toilet and crying softly.

After going out from the prison, he went to look again, but that crying prison guard was gone.

"Prison guard uniforms are all collected according to size; it is very rare for them not to fit. Even if you occasionally encounter such a situation, it wouldn't be too exaggerated compared to the person's actual size."

Such a situation is abnormal enough to appear once, let alone twice.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe watched the prison guard on the screen lower his head to fold his pant legs and walk to the cenotaph under the tree. He had a conclusion in his heart: "This person is highly likely the same prison guard who was hiding in the bathroom crying earlier; they are the same person." But if that's the case, why was he hiding in the bathroom crying earlier?

While puzzled, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe watched the prison guard in the footage take off the work badge hanging on the wooden stick and throw it away, pick up the police cap on the ground and throw it away, and finally pull out the wooden stick serving as the tombstone and casually stick it under another tree.

In a sense, this is "moving the grave."

Glancing up at the surveillance time, when the prison guard dismantled the cenotaph, it was just before the Lamp-Extinguishing Ghost appeared.

"Fen Wu violated the Serpent God's taboo, so his luck turned bad, which is why those prisoners used as bait attracted a Lamp-Extinguishing Ghost that killed Old Li with its front foot and had its rules unraveled by me with its back foot."

So, is this person Fen Wu?

But if that's the case, the situation is even more bizarre. Why would Fen Wu appear here in the identity of a prison guard? And why would he hide in the bathroom alone and cry?

Even if he wanted to disguise himself as a prison guard to sneak into the prison, he should at least have chosen a uniform that fit. In the surveillance footage, his shoulders and pant waist were all baggy, and through the screen, he looked like a slacker, which was too eye-catching in this kind of occasion.

"Hoo..."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe breathed a light sigh, put the camera into his bag, turned on a flashlight and hung it by the wall, stood up, picked up a broom from the corner of the room, and began to sweep the dust accumulated on the ground.

Today is suitable for 【Cleaning】.

When you don't know what to do, finding a way to improve your luck is always right.

In the thick, foggy darkness, only the flashlight adjusted to the lowest setting emitted a faint light, illuminating the shadow of a man, tall and upright, holding a broom with one hand, silent in this closed small room where he was the only one, focusing on sweeping the floor.

While sweeping the floor, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took the notebook out of his bosom again, flipped to the second page, and saw the new text written by Xia Yubing.

Watching it, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's movements slowed down: "Bai Fugui... as expected?"

Pondering for a moment, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe leaned the broom aside, took out a ballpoint pen, and wrote a long paragraph on the paper:

【Now you go immediately to a residential area in Taoyuan City called Jiangcheng Junjing, and tell the guard that you are Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's girlfriend. He will let you in. My house is on the 18th floor of Building A, the whole floor is mine, the password to my front door is...】

【After you go in, go to the bedside of the bedroom, where there is a very old wooden cabinet. In the third drawer from the left, there is a wooden box carved with phoenix patterns. Take out the ring in the box.】

【That is my grandmother's wedding ring, my grandfather's is with me. I need you to get engaged to me, right now.】

Besides burial, encoffining, and cleaning, today is also suitable for: 【Marriage Matching】 and 【Engagement】.

After writing these words, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe spread the notebook on the box beside him, picked up the broom leaning against the wall, and continued to sweep the floor in the dim little room.
