Luo Shimiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep without taking a shower. She glanced at the time; it was 2:23 a.m., two hours after she returned from the shower room.
Frustrated, she scratched her head and took out her clothes for tomorrow from her bag. She was only staying one night and had only brought one set of pajamas and one set of spare clothes. She had left her pajamas in the shower room and was too embarrassed to go to Gu Nian now.
Holding my clothes, I turned on my phone's flashlight. It was quiet all around; most people were asleep at this hour. The moonlight shone on the ground, and I could see the road clearly even without a flashlight.
When Luo Shimiao arrived at the place where he was supposed to meet Lan Xinyue, he saw two suspicious men not far away, carrying something in their hands, walking towards the river.
There was a river about 300 meters away. After having barbecue skewers in the evening, we all went for a walk along the river.
"Out throwing out the trash in the middle of the night? And the trash can isn't in this direction." Being a bit far away, Luo Shimiao couldn't see what they were carrying, so she turned off her flashlight and turned on her camera with the zoom lens.
"A blanket?" His gaze shifted downwards, his pupils contracted, and he saw a foot fall out from under the blanket, only to be stuffed back in.
Luo Shimiao crouched down and followed, recorded a short video and sent it to the group, quickly typing out a line of text.
"Those who are still awake should call the police; they suspect a body was dumped!"
Then I sent my location, put my phone in my pocket with the camera showing, and followed them.
The rows of trees planted along the roadside provided convenience for Luo Shimiao.
"Li Long, why don't we find a place to bury it? It'll be easy to find if we throw it in the river."
The man named Li Long replied, "Hey Sun Xiaojie, how can you possibly become smarter? There are so many people in the camp every day, it's easy to be discovered. Besides, we don't have any tools, how are we going to bury him? Dig him by hand? How long would that take?"
"If you throw the body into the river, who knows where it will drift to tomorrow? Even if someone finds it, who knows where it came from?"
Sun Xiaojie nodded and said, "Brother Long is the smartest."
Just as they were about to throw the body into the river, Luo Shimiao walked out from the side, arms crossed, and said, "Littering in the river is prohibited. Can't you see such a big sign?"
The sudden sound startled the two men, causing them to lose their balance and drop the blanket to the ground. The blanket came undone, revealing a disheveled woman inside.
Luo Shimiao's gaze darkened: "So it was for disposing of a body!"
When Sun Xiaojie realized his plan had failed, his legs went weak with fear: "Brother Long, what do we do?"
Li Long's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked at Luo Shimiao's exquisite face and sneered, "Killing one is the same as killing two. I just hadn't had enough fun yet. She's so beautiful, the taste must be amazing."
After confirming that no one was around, he walked towards Luo Shimiao.
Luo Shimiao stood motionless, coldly watching the man approach.
Li Long thought she was terrified, so he laughed even more smugly and reached out to grab Luo Shimiao's chest.
Luo Shimiao grabbed his index finger and twisted it backward.
"Ah..." A scream rang out.
He loosened his grip, grabbed Li Long's wrist and pulled it down, then bent his right knee and slammed it into Li Long's head, followed by a punch that knocked him to the ground.
Li Long clutched his head and rolled on the ground.
Seeing this, Sun Xiaojie looked terrified and ran away. Luo Shimiao picked up a stone and threw it forward.
"Ah!" The stone struck Sun Xiaojie's knee, and the intense pain prevented him from standing up. He could only watch as Luo Shimiao approached step by step.
"Spare us, spare us! We didn't mean to kill her, we accidentally killed her. As long as you don't tell anyone, I'll give you whatever money you want."
Luo Shimiao didn't waste any words with him. Grabbing Sun Xiaojie's injured right leg, with a cold face, she dragged him to Li Long's side like a piece of trash.
A series of hurried footsteps approached, and Luo Shimiao looked up to see Gu Nian and the others arriving.
Gu Nian glanced at Luo Shimiao from head to toe and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was unharmed.
When Lan Xinyue saw the corpse on the ground, she covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming and hid behind Zhou Yang in fear.
Luo Shimiao frowned: "Why did you bring her along too?"
Lan Xinyue explained, "I wanted to come along myself; I was worried about you."
"With such little courage, aren't you afraid of scaring yourself to death?"
Lan Xinyue stuck out her tongue.
Luo Shimiao walked to the body, bent down, and covered it back with the unfolded blanket.
Then he said to Gu Nian, "You two watch over those two for now, I'm going to take a shower."
Gu Nian: "Okay, go ahead."
Luo Shimiao took the clothes off the tree and walked back.
A police siren sounded as Luo Shimiao came out after taking a shower, carrying his dirty clothes. Several police cars passed by.
The scene was quickly cordoned off.
When Li Long saw Luo Shimiao, he pointed at her and said, "Police officer, she's in cahoots with us. This woman was brought here by her. We promised her ten thousand yuan after it was done."
Lan Xinyue's eyes widened. This accusation was too far-fetched. She put her hands on her hips and said, "You're talking nonsense. She was clearly with us. Don't just spout nonsense."
Li Long: "Look at the injury on her forehead. She thought 10,000 yuan was too little and wanted to raise the price. I disagreed, and we got into an argument. I accidentally pushed her, and that's when I got this injury."
The police officer asked, "How did you get this injury?"
"Uh..." Luo Shimiao secretly glanced at Gu Nian and found that he was also looking at her, so she quickly looked away.
Seeing Luo Shimiao stammering, Li Long's eyes flashed with malice. Even if he died, he would take someone down with him: "The policewoman is feeling guilty."
