Chapter 175 The Corpse in the Rubber Plantation



The students in the class were whispering among themselves.

Yuan Mengge ignored them.

She didn't care about these trivial comments, as long as they didn't come to bother her.

After finishing her evening self-study session, she left the school and went to the training room.

After completing today's check-in tasks, it was already past the dormitory's closing time.

But this didn't affect her at all.

She climbed over the wall and returned to her dormitory.

"Hey, where did you go?" As soon as she entered the dormitory, the few people who were still awake peeked out and asked her.

Yuan Mengge: "I went out to take care of some business."

Su Yue couldn't help but ask her curiously, "You often go out at night...where do you go for fun?"

Everyone already knows that Yuan Mengge often leaves the dormitory at night.

Although there are access restrictions in the dormitory, there are no penalty rules.

So it's common knowledge that male students often go out to play at night.

Yuan Mengge often went out at night, but there was no report of her violating the rules.

However, she went out so frequently that her roommates were very curious about where she went.

"Um, did I disturb you?" Yuan Mengge didn't answer Su Yue's question, but instead asked a question in response.

“No, not at all…” Su Yue replied.

“We’re just curious about what you often do when you go out at night,” Wei Jingting asked, peeking out from under the bed.

Yuan Mengge said, "Well... I can't tell you this. If I'm disturbing you, then I'll move out."

Although there were still two months until the end of the semester, she originally planned to stay in the dormitory until graduation.

But if she frequently goes out at night and disturbs them, then she should consider moving out and living on her own.

However, if she wants to move out and live on her own, she needs to get someone from the Hu family to sign the papers; otherwise, the school won't allow her to live off-campus.

She didn't want to cause trouble.

“No, we didn’t mean you were noisy. Don’t move out. If you do, people will say we’re ostracizing you,” Guo Ju said, trying to dissuade her when she mentioned moving out.

“Yeah, we were just starting to get along a bit better, and we were thinking we could hang out together for the rest of the semester. But if you move out, things will definitely drift apart again,” Wei Jingting said to her.

If it were the old Yuan Pingping and the others, they would have been eager for her to move out, but now they have a good impression of Yuan Mengge, so they all want her to stay and live with them.

On one hand, they felt that she was no longer annoying, and on the other hand, they felt that she had changed a lot. They both wanted to continue to observe her changes.

Everyone could see Yuan Mengge's changes, and her roommates, who ate and slept with her, knew it best.

They were always curious as to why Yuan Pingping suddenly seemed like a completely different person after just one winter break.

What exactly is the reason?

If she moves out, they won't be able to explore her anymore, and graduation is just around the corner. After graduation, everyone will go their separate ways and won't see each other much.

And since I'm graduating soon, wouldn't it be quite a hassle to move out?

“Yeah, you’ll be graduating in two months, so you shouldn’t move out. If you’re not comfortable saying it, then we won’t ask, so you don’t need to move out,” Guo Ju said, looking in her direction.

"I was just afraid of disturbing you... that it would affect your rest," Yuan Mengge replied, holding a change of clothes and a bath tub at the same time.

Wei Jingting said, "No, no, we were all asleep when you came back at night. We only woke up occasionally because we needed to pee and found you weren't in bed."

Yuan Mengge: "That's fine then. I won't move out for now. I'm going to take a shower first, and we'll talk again when I get back."

After saying that, he left the dormitory and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When she returned, no one asked her about what had happened earlier; they all quietly lay down and went to sleep.

In this day and age, without cell phones or tablets, people tend to go to bed early.

After having dinner together at the homeroom teacher's house that day, Wei Jingting and the other two got much closer to Yuan Mengge.

We would walk home together after school, eat at the same table, and I would invite her to go out with me on weekends.

Then check the refreshed, regularly scheduled new tasks.

The tasks refresh every seven days, and the cooldown time is also seven days. So, after completing a regular task, you can rest for seven days.

Recently, Yuan Mengge has rarely gone out to do random tasks at night. She needs to get enough rest at night to ensure she has the energy to attend classes during the day.

She's about to take the high school entrance exam, and she needs to be in top form.

But she still had to complete the seven-day mission.

[Regular Mission: The Corpse in the Areca Plantation]

Task time remaining: 6 days, 18 hours, 30 minutes, and 24 seconds.

Mission Location: Dahe Village, Niutou Town, Lishan County

Target 1: Wu Zhenmei, female, 48 years old, housewife, with a fierce and gloomy personality, has committed 20 murders, resulting in 20 deaths.

Target 2: Wu Zhendong, male, 43 years old, unemployed, has committed 14 murders and 14 deaths.

Quest items: five.

Mission Rewards: 900,000 cash, 2,000 experience points, 500 overall physical fitness, 300 stamina, and 150 strength/speed.

Upon looking at the mission information, Yuan Mengge noticed that the two target individuals appeared to be siblings, judging from their names.

This brother and sister, one a housewife and the other an unemployed man, killed so many people.

Two people alone killed so many people... They're really ruthless! Two serial killers!

Niutou Town, isn't that where Wei Jingting's family lives?

I don't know if she lives in the village.

Yuan Mengge opened five props; there were quite a few this time.

Based on her experience, analyzing these pictures suggests that they are likely either the murder weapon, physical evidence, or the victim's belongings.

First, you need to find all the props before you can catch someone.

The five props are located in different places.

Some are in the mountains, some in the water, some inside houses, and some in the fields...

"Why does this feel like I'm being sent on a treasure hunt?" Yuan Mengge muttered to herself, looking at the locations of the props.

That evening, Yuan Mengge left the school again after her evening study session.

After completing her daily check-in tasks at the training room, she realized that because her running time had been extended in the morning, she only had time to do one task and didn't have time to do the others. She would have to save them for after dinner in the evening.

After finishing the other three check-in tasks after dinner, I can come back for evening study.

But if she has tasks in the evening, she will leave one of the stretching exercises for after evening study.

She finished the 100 pull-ups quickly because her physical fitness had improved, and she didn't sweat much after completing the pull-ups.

After changing her clothes, she rode her bicycle out and headed to Niutou Town in the dark of night.
