The person did not answer straight away. After about half a minute of silence, he continued his story.
“The person who helped us not only helped us escape from the captivity of these people. He also smuggled us in the truck he was carrying. The truck he was carrying was full of drums that we didn’t know what was in it. I think he’s in charge of bringing the drums to their base."
“Wait a minute! You mean he smuggled you out of there by putting all of you in those drums?”
“That’s right, sir! After unloading, the drums were empty. That’s when he put us in those things.”
A tactic that at first glance sounds so simple! But it’s actually very difficult to put into practice. It must not be easy to get the captives out of their captivity. Especially then having to put those people into the drums. How could the guards over there not notice that? There’s something odd about this guy’s story.
“Then, after that, why didn’t he immediately take you to the police station or to the hospital?” Chioujen raised his eyebrows. According to Chioujen, it was one of the few things that made less sense.
“He said he didn’t have much time. That person had to go elsewhere in the city right away to return the truck he was driving. He also didn’t dare to go to the police station. After stopping the truck around here, he told that there was a building we could use as a hiding place, at least temporarily. He also told us where the keys were hidden in one toilet on the ground floor of this building. When we checked the toilets in this building, we found several keys. That person also explained the function of each key. One key to go down to the B1 floor, namely the key to open the lock from the iron bars installed to prevent people from going down to the B1 floor. One more key to enter one room on the floor. B3. And then the key to this room.”
“So, this is the B5 floor?” asked Chioujen.
“I think so, Sir!”
How amazing! There is even a floor that is not depicted on the building plan in the manager’s room. It means I cannot trust the floor plan of the building at all. Or maybe there are actually missing pieces of the building plan.
“Are there other rooms outside this room?”
“There are many other rooms outside, sir! They are very similar to the rooms on the floor above this floor.”
It means the layout of the room on this floor is almost the same as the layout on the B4 floor.
“The one who gave you the keys. How did he get the keys to the rooms in this building?”
“I don’t know, Sir! But he probably knows one tenant of the unit in this building.”
“How did you know he knows one tenant here?”
“I’m not sure about that either. Maybe he knows someone, maybe he doesn’t know. The fact that he knew about the whereabouts of the keys proved he had something to do with this building. But there are other things that show that he didn’t really understand the location and intricacies of this building. The proof is that he didn’t drop us off right in front of this building, but in front of another building about a kilometer and a half from here.”
“What was his expression, then?”
“When he gave us an explanation, shortly after stopping the truck, he looked as if he was remembering instructions given by someone else. He also seemed to be just guessing where the building he was talking about was. So we concluded that someone else ordered him to. And the person who ordered it was probably one tenant in this building. Or maybe part of the people who run this building.”
“So after he dropped you off around here, he just left.”
“That’s right, Sir! He just drove his truck away from where he dropped us off.”
“So you guys walked here?”
“That’s right, Sir!”
“How did you two get separated?”
“There are several buildings around here. We didn’t know which building that person was referring to, so we split up to look for the right place. Our consideration was that by splitting up, we reduce the risk. Had they managed to track us down, they were less likely to catch us all at once. I think the tactic was quite successful. The proof is that my co-workers and I are still here."
“I still don’t understand why you chose to hide in this building? You’ve escaped. Why not ask the people in the buildings or other places for help? In fact, this place is very close to the underground station. Isn’t it much better? I think it makes a lot more sense if you guys just run over there and ask for help.”
