Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing held hands, like two cheetahs lurking in the night, moving silently towards the old locust tree.
After passing several low adobe houses, they arrived in front of the village warehouse.
The warehouse door was closed, with a large rusty lock hanging on it, shining coldly in the dim light.
The two looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
There was a tense atmosphere around the warehouse, and there seemed to be a hint of rust in the air.
Shen Qiqi gently pushed the warehouse door, but it didn't move.
"It seems that I have to find a way to go in and take a look." She whispered, with a hint of excitement in her tone, as if she had discovered some incredible secret.
Lu Qing nodded, took out a small tool from his pocket, and opened the rusty lock in no time.
The warehouse door creaked open and a musty smell hit me in the face.
The warehouse was filled with various supplies, grain bags, farm tools, cloth...
Almost everything.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing walked in cautiously, and in the dim light, carefully checked the records of people entering and leaving the warehouse.
The record book is very old, with yellowed paper and curled edges, and it is densely packed with records of the incoming and outgoing of various materials.
"Qiqi, look here." Lu Qing pointed to one of the pages and said in a low voice.
Shen Qiqi leaned over to take a look, only to see that several places on this page of records were blackened by ink, and the original content could not be seen at all.
"What's going on?" She frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.
They continued to look through the records and found that there were many similar cases, and a lot of key information had been deliberately erased.
The clue suddenly stopped here.
Shen Qiqi looked at the incomplete records, feeling extremely anxious.
It feels like playing a game and reaching the boss level, but suddenly the network is disconnected, which is maddening.
Lu Qing patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, Qiqi, let's look carefully, there must be other clues." Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Well, you're right, we can't give up."
Outside the warehouse, the villagers gradually realized that something was unusual.
They gathered at the door of the warehouse, whispering, and a sense of unease spread among the crowd.
"What are Qiqi and Qingzi doing in there? Why haven't they come out for so long?" a villager asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. Could something have happened?" another villager answered worriedly.
Inside the warehouse, Shen Qiqi's gaze suddenly fell on an inconspicuous wooden box in the corner of the warehouse.
"Brother Qing, look at that box..." In the warehouse, Shen Qiqi patted the non-existent dust on her hands and winked playfully: "Instead of searching for a needle in a haystack among this pile of old papers, why don't we change our thinking and meet those 'demons and monsters' who have been behaving strangely recently!"
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's smart look and smiled indulgently: "Qiqi's idea is naturally excellent."
Shen Qiqi's change of thought made the villagers who were whispering outside the warehouse even more confused.
"What? Not checking the warehouse but checking the people? What's going on?" An old lady scratched her head, her face full of questions.
Doubt spread like ripples among the crowd, and curiosity drove them to stare at the warehouse door.
The news spread quickly as if it had wings and reached the ears of those villagers who "behaved abnormally".
Their faces changed and their hearts skipped a beat: This little girl is really going to do it!
As night fell, in the alleys of the village, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing confronted several furtive figures.
The air was filled with tension, like a taut string that could break at any moment.
"You'd better tell me the truth about what you've been doing lately!" Shen Qiqi put her hands on her hips, full of momentum, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
The other party exchanged glances, and one of the tall men stood up and said threateningly, "Little girl, mind your own business! Don't ask about things that are none of your business!"
"Oh, you're threatening me? I'm not someone who can be scared!" Shen Qiqi was not afraid at all, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
She rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight, "Come on, let's hurt each other!"
The atmosphere in the alley suddenly became tense, and the distance between the two sides seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
Suddenly, Shen Qiqi curled the corners of her mouth and revealed a mysterious smile: "Hey, do you know what Wang Ermazi has been doing recently?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people instantly became exciting...
Wang Ermaizi?
These three words were like a bomb, exploding among several people.
The tall man's face froze, his eyes flickered, and he was obviously a little flustered.
"Why...why did you mention him?"
Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously: "Oh, it's nothing, I just heard that he recently hooked up with a rich woman, eating and drinking delicious food every day, and living a very comfortable life. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know where he got the ability to hook up with such a rich person."
"You're talking nonsense!" another short man said anxiously, "Wang Ermazi didn't even hook up with a rich woman!"
"Oh? Really?" Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile. "Then tell me, what has he been doing recently? Why is he so mysterious every day? I can't even see his figure?"
The short man stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Several other people also began to panic, their eyes dodging, not daring to look directly at Shen Qiqi.
