Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 60 The Mysterious Female Prisoner

The reason why you can tell at first glance that she is a woman is because she is not wearing much clothes.
The woman was not tall, her hands and feet were tied with heavy chains, her head tilted, motionless, not knowing whether she was dead or alive...
this……
Xu Zun stared at it, his head buzzing and he even felt a little dizzy.
how so?
This is clearly a prison cell, and this woman is a prisoner!
Could it be that... the thing in the iron coffin is the woman in front of me! ! ?
Why?
Why?
Suddenly, Xu Zun noticed that the woman's body was slightly moving up and down.
No way, he's still alive! ?
Xu Zun was shocked at first, but then he thought that three whole days had passed since Xiaoqi was murdered. This woman must have not eaten or drunk water for three days!
Even if he is still alive, he must be weak.
or……
Xu Zun looked around and wanted to find some water to feed her to see if she could wake up.
However, there were torture instruments everywhere and no drinking water.
There was no other way, Xu Zun had to move closer to see the woman's condition.
When he saw this, he was shocked again.
But there was a striking and cruel brand mark on the woman's head, and there was no hair where the iron had burned.
The woman's hair seemed to have been cut randomly. Some parts were bald and some were very long, looking extremely messy.
Looking at the woman's body was even more shocking, with all kinds of burns, whippings, cuts, and penetrating wounds, it was simply horrific.
It was obvious that the woman had been tortured here and someone wanted to extract some secret from her.
So cruel!
Judging from these scars, the torture the woman suffered seemed even worse than that of the real Qiu Yongnian.
Xu Zun instinctively thought that the person who tortured the woman should be his adoptive father Shen Tiande, right?
Oh My God!
Xu Zun was secretly shocked. If this woman was really the one in the coffin, wouldn't that mean she had been imprisoned here for two years?
No...that's not right...
Xu Zun recalled that this house was purchased from someone else by Shen Tiande after he became the county lieutenant.
The previous owner of the house was undoubtedly arranged by the fake Qiu Yongnian.
Therefore, he could only prove that the woman was imprisoned here for less than a year, but as for where she was imprisoned before that, there was no way to verify it.
Maybe it's the Shen Mansion, or maybe it's somewhere else.
Who is this woman?
Xu Zun took another cautious step forward and through close observation, he found that the woman did not seem to be very old.
And... judging by the radiance of her skin, she is not only young, but even younger than me...
this……
A trace of pity flashed through Xu Zun's heart. He felt that it was too much for such a young girl to suffer such torture.
But on second thought, I am in the Great Xuan Dynasty, and Shen Tiande must have his reasons for secretly detaining and interrogating a female prisoner.
However, Xu Zun also discovered that except for the whipping wounds which were relatively fresh, the other wounds on the woman's body had basically healed.
Judging from this, Shen Tiande and others may not have gotten the answers they wanted from this woman, or the answers they got were not satisfactory to them, so they stopped torturing her after a period of time.
Suppressing his violent heartbeat, Xu Zun first reached out and felt the woman's breath.
He is actually still alive! ?
You know, you might not die if you don't eat or drink for three days, but it's winter now, and although the temperature in the cellar is slightly higher than outside, it's not much higher.
This woman had almost no clothes on and was frozen for three days. If it were an ordinary person, she would have died of hypothermia, right?
Fortunately, I came so quickly. If I had arrived a few days later, even the immortals would not have been able to save her.
However, although she was alive, the woman's breathing was weak and she was almost on the verge of death.
Xu Zun held the woman's cold chin and lifted her head.
This is a lifeless face. There is a layer of white frost on the woman's face, her face is like frozen wax, her eyes are closed, and she seems to have fainted due to weakness.
With the faint light, Xu Zun also discovered that the woman had sharp features and delicate features, and did not seem to be an ugly woman.
However, there was a horrifying scar on her left cheek, which extended from the base of her ear to the edge of her mouth, almost disfiguring her!
Too cruel!
Rather than destroying the person's face, Mr. Shen, aren't you being too harsh?
"Hello, hello..." Xu Zun called out softly a few times, but the woman did not respond and was already unconscious.
this……
Xu Zun began to feel embarrassed. He never expected that there was actually a living person hidden in the iron coffin two years ago, and she was a very young woman.
If this woman was awake, I could ask her about her situation and find out what was going on so that I could make plans.
But this woman was already unconscious. If he didn't save her, she would surely die.
Moreover, given the current situation, it is still unknown whether I can save the person with my own abilities alone!
Even if you want to save it, you can't tie it up like this.
But if I really want to save her, I'm afraid this woman's origins are unknown. What if I can't handle her after I rescue her?
Tsk tsk…
Looking at this pitiful and mysterious woman, Xu Zun was in a dilemma and didn't know how to deal with it.
But no matter how difficult it was, Xu Zun knew that this woman must be saved!
Only if she is alive can she know what really happened in the Iron Coffin Case two years ago!
Moreover, at the critical moment, Xu Zun remembered Mr. Shen's last words:
"…the things in the iron coffin…are…in…the kitchen…your…places…"
I don’t know, but the word “release” that Mr. Shen said later meant releasing this woman?
Could it be that... Mr. Shen feels ashamed and wants to let her go?
Thinking of this, Xu Zun became even more curious about the identity of this woman.
All right!
Having made up his mind, Xu Zunxian took off his coat and put it on the woman to prevent her from suffering from further hypothermia.
Next up…
Then he encountered his first problem.
He searched everywhere in the cellar, but couldn't find the key to open the chain!
I don’t know whether the key is with Xiaoqi or Mr. Shen. Both of them are no longer alive, so it’s probably hopeless to find the key.
However, this little difficulty did not pose a problem for Xu Zun. He used the tools available on site and quickly opened the chain with his lock-picking skills from his previous life.
There is no other way . Breaking into houses and picking locks are also essential skills for undercover agents.
What's more, this ancient lock does not seem to be as complicated as the modern ones and can be opened easily.
After the chains were removed, Xu Zun wrapped the woman up and tied her to his back with a rope. Then he climbed up the ladder with difficulty and got out of the cellar.
It was already pitch dark. Xu Zun walked on the snow in the yard, carrying the woman step by step into his main bedroom.
The woman was very light, and it was unclear whether it was naturally that way or if it was due to long-term imprisonment, cold and hunger.
Back in the house, Xu Zun placed her on the bed, covered her with bedding, then lit the stove and brought the brazier...
Further down, Xu Zun cooked some rice soup and fed it to her.
Unexpectedly, although the woman was unconscious, she was still able to swallow rice soup, as if she had an instinctive desire to save her life.
Therefore, Xu Zun could not help but feel relieved. He only hoped that she could wake up soon and explain the details of the first iron coffin case clearly...
