Who to kill?
At four o'clock in the night,
Qi Jing was waiting outside early. Shu Yan was the second one to arrive. Ma Liangchen followed behind Zhang Heqian with his head down the whole time.
Shi Yuncheng came with Wang Shitou, and Wang Shitou was chatting with Shi Yuncheng all the way.
Wang Shitou patted his butt and said, "The rule says I can't go to bed after 12 o'clock, so it doesn't count as a violation if I stay up after 12 o'clock, right?"
Shi Yuncheng was helpless and walked with Wang Shitou’s hand, which had patted his buttocks: “No, it doesn’t count. He only stipulated that you can’t go to bed after 12 o’clock, but he didn’t stipulate that you can’t go out after 12 o’clock.”
Qi Jing headed north according to the route he remembered. After walking for about ten minutes, they stopped where they were.
Qi Jing: "Let's look around this place first."
The six people split into three groups and spread out in a triangle.
Ma Liangchen kept his head down looking, while Zhang Heqian looked at other people and then looked around.
Shi Yuncheng followed Wang Shitou, and the two of them lowered their heads and shone lights as they searched carefully.
Qi Jing and Shu Yan watched on each side. After walking for about ten minutes, they returned to the original place.
Wang Shitou rubbed his aching neck and said, "Why isn't there one? Is it randomly refreshed?"
Shu Yan turned off the flashlight: "Maybe we need some instructions to find it."
Zhang Heqian looked around and said, "Yes, think about it again and see if you have forgotten something."
Qi Jing frowned and searched carefully in his mind.
Ma Liangchen didn't look up the whole time, afraid to see the stars in the sky: "Why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow. My neck hurts so much from not looking up at the sky for so long."
Hearing his words, Qi Jing looked up at the sky.
"yes!"
Qi Jing grabbed Shu Yan's sleeve and said, "I remember that day I couldn't sleep and kept looking at the stars. If you follow the stars, you will definitely find it."
Several people followed his gaze toward the sky, and the lights on their wrist watches shone down on the ground.
Ma Liangchen couldn't look up and could only look at the ground. He looked around at the people.
He saw something moving behind Qi Jing, and the grass leaves behind Qi Jing were moving, as if something was wriggling.
Ma Liangchen grabbed Qi Jing with one hand and Shu Yan with the other and pulled him over.
"Be careful, there's something behind!"
Qi Jing was pulled hard and lost his balance, stumbling to the ground.
Shu Yan quickly rescued the person and several people quickly moved away from that place.
Qi Jing looked at the place where he had just stood. Behind him was a small bulge, and something was moving inside.
Zhang Heqian bravely found a fallen branch and stirred the grass leaves on the small bump.
After picking them apart, Qi Jing discovered that they were actually several hedgehogs.
"Have you seen him these days?"
Wang Shitou looked at their small bodies and said, "No, I haven't heard anyone mention it."
Shu Yan pursed his lips and said, "Why is a hedgehog here? I heard that hedgehogs eat human brains. Wherever there is a corpse, there will be hedgehogs."
"Hedgehogs, corpses?" Shi Yuncheng discovered that there was some cloth on the bodies of these little hedgehogs.
He bravely stepped forward to tear off the cloth on them and pieced them together with several pieces of broken fabric.
Ma Liangchen read along the patchwork of fabric: "Xingxing... Kindergarten?"
Qi Jing moved closer to take a look, and he recognized that this was the clothes Xiaoxiao was wearing that night.
"This is Xiaoxiao's clothes. She was wearing the clothes with the Star Kindergarten printed on them that night."
Several people looked at the group of hedgehogs with strange expressions.
Zhang Heqian held up a stick and said, "How about... digging it up and taking a look?"
They got to work right away. Several people picked up the hedgehog and put it aside and started digging.
Less than a minute into the digging, he saw other parts of the clothes. Zhang Heqian dug harder and harder until he found human bones.
Looking at the two bodies dug out, several people watched in silence, then buried them again and released the hedgehogs back.
Wang Shitou: "These are the bodies of two children. Could this have been a kindergarten?"
Ma Liangchen lowered his head: "It should be. This time we should dig out what happened in this place back then." Several people walked back, talking as they walked.
Shi Yuncheng: "The kindergarten is gone, everyone here is dead, and there are poppies. Could it be that these children were used to test poison?"
Wang Shitou glanced at him and said, "Nervous."
Shu Yan grabbed Qi Jing's wrist and said, "Kid, it's drugs. They're growing poppies in such a remote place, and didn't Xiao Xiao ask A Jing to kill them? Who are they? Are they us?"
Shi Yuncheng still had the pieced-together fabric in his pocket, and he squeezed it through the clothes.
"Could it be that a group of people came to this place and used the remote environment to grow poppies? They were afraid of being discovered, so they killed everyone here."
Qi Jing shook his head. "I don't think so. One possibility is that the environment here is good and suitable for growing poppies. Then, this group of people wanted to requisition this land, but they didn't want to spend money and wanted to forcibly drive the people here. In the end, the people here didn't agree, so this group of people killed them all and buried them here to use as nutrients for the poppies in order to avoid being discovered."
Zhang Heqian: "Then who are these people? Are they among us?"
Shu Yan suddenly stopped. They were still some distance away from the mud house. He looked at the figure that had just entered and said, "It's someone from Building 5."
"I just saw 5-5-4 dot high sky and he just went in."
"5-5-3's death was probably caused by their own team."
Zhang Heqian dropped the branch in his hand next to the blooming roses. There was a tree nearby, so big that it took three people to hug it. It was the thickest of the trees. "Why did you kill him?"
A few people stayed outside for a while, and calculated the time that Gao Tian should have returned to the room.
"Because the spoils were not evenly distributed."
