Du Mingchun's mouth was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He thought that Ai Zihan was looking for something in the kitchen, so he deliberately ignored her, and he also pretended not to hear the tinkling sound coming from here. He also believed that she was here to sabotage.

"Do you think I should tell Nan Chong to tell Ai Zihan to come and clean it up?" Du Tingxia knew from Du Mingchun's face that he planned to clean it up himself, but it was Ai Zihan who made it like this. How dare you ask someone else to clean up the mess?

"You take the water up first, and I'll take a look." Du Mingchun dismissed Du Tingxia with a single sentence. Seeing Du Mingchun's appearance, the latter decided that his brother must be the good person who planned to tidy up silently, and decided to go to Nanchong to scold him. Ai Zihan dares to ask his brother to do extra work, he doesn't mind turning into an eighth woman to tell tales.

After Du Tingxia left, Du Mingchun stepped forward to open the knife drawer unequivocally, and slightly raised his eyebrows at the fact that there were not half a handful of sharp tools missing in it. He lowered his head and thought about it, then turned around and quickly opened another cabinet, and took the There were packs of instant noodles. He remembered that when he first came to clean up the kitchen with the girls class, he found three rusty knives somewhere. Collectively agreed to receive the knife here.

There were only two small knives behind the instant noodles. Du Mingchun's eyes were filled with thought, and sure enough, as he guessed, Ai Zihan was looking for something that "doesn't want to be discovered but can protect himself".That means that Ai Zihan didn't just quarrel with Deng Yuxuan, something must have happened, and she was anxious to alienate him, and hurriedly pulled out a knife as a weapon.

Is it related to Xin Tong?

Du Mingchun put the food back as if nothing had happened, while thinking about whether Ai Zihan's possession of a sharp weapon would make the situation more unstable. At this moment, Deng Yuxuan's hysterical roar suddenly came from outside the door .

"I, I saw her! Xin Tong! Xin Tong is inside!"

Deng Yuxuan was comfortable in Xin Tong's room, but he almost regarded it as his own room.While thinking about how to win over Nan Junhui in his mind, he let his eyeballs look around, left and right, and finally he saw an orange thing on the wallpaper under the window.

The wallpaper was already a bit yellowish, especially the place where the sunlight couldn't reach it was so yellow that it accidentally covered up the sudden orange color. If his gaze hadn't happened to fall there and stared at it for a long time, he wouldn't have noticed this. Minor changes.

Out of curiosity, he got out of bed and took a look. The little orange thing was actually a small sticker with a little sun printed on it, with big eyes smiling silly at the air.The sticker was very clean, and it was incompatible with the yellow and moldy wallpaper on all sides. He tore it off immediately without thinking. As expected, there was a small hole on the back of the sticker that could fit a finger.

Before he had time to figure out who checked Xin Tong's room before, his finger had been inserted into the hole reflexively. When he wanted to retract his finger, he found that it was not only his finger that was retreating, but also the yellowed picture in front of him. wall.

Behind the wall is a small concrete hole, without any decoration, but the space can accommodate a person squatting and kneeling. The reason why Deng Yuxuan is so clear is that there is a person in such a pose inside, and this person is everywhere. It was Xin Tong who they had been looking for for a long time but could not find.

Deng Yuxuan rushed out of the room and yelled, everyone immediately put down their things and rushed to the room where the incident occurred. Ai Zihan stayed in the living room with self-knowledge. Another woman, Gui Lingling, originally planned to rush into the room with Nan, but when She saw clearly Xin Tong's awkward posture that a living person could not put on and a large amount of dried blood on his face, and couldn't help but vomited in the corridor on the spot.

The Du brothers also stood in the corridor, allowing the two surnamed Nan to go in and move Xin Tong to the bed, so that she would not continue squatting where her legs could not be straightened. Now there was no one except Gui Lingling's vomiting Make a sound, as if some sacred ritual is going on.

Du Mingchun shifted his gaze from Nanchong's movement to the secret hole under the window. No wonder they couldn't see anything for the first time. Normally, the upper half of the window protrudes outside, and if so, the lower part also protrudes. At most, it will be regarded as a thickened wall, but they don't know that there is a place quietly reserved below.

Du Tingxia clenched his fists tightly. He could see the wall pulled out by Deng Yuxuan at a glance. It was a fantasy for the person hiding inside to pull the wall back to its original position with one finger. Xin Tong definitely did. She was attacked first. If she was lucky, she would die. If she was unlucky, she would be deliberately stuffed there without dying.

After Nan Chong and Nan Jun tried their best to put Xin Tong on the bed, Nan Chong looked at his former student silently for a while, and finally reached out to close Xin Tong's eyes full of unwillingness.

"I'm not an expert. Judging by the naked eye, I can only infer that Xin Tong died because of a head injury." Nan Chong said while looking around at everyone present: "If anyone has that knowledge, I would like to confirm further I will not object to the cause of Xin Tong's death, but there must be other people present."

"...As far as I know, no one here intends to become a forensic doctor." Deng Yuxuan was a little flustered when he first discovered the corpse, but now he has returned to his usual calmness, but his face is still pale: "Shall we continue the discussion like this now?"

"Professor Nan and I will inspect this room. You can go to other people's rooms to check if there is a similar "secret room". Don't check your own room. Let other people come." Nan Jun said calmly, without any fluctuation in his tone From the moment Xin Tong was discovered, the people present more or less understood that they had entered into a state of mutual suspicion, so no one objected to his suggestion.

They spent more than three hours exploring other places to see if there were any other undiscovered secret caves, but when the sun set, they couldn't find a second hidden place except the one in Xin Tong's room.

"Okay, there's no need for us to deceive ourselves now. It's no wonder that Xin Tong will play like this by himself. Who is the one who is alone with her and then takes the opportunity to attack? I believe no one here will admit it, otherwise it will not be staged these two days. Is it the disappearance scene?" After dinner, everyone sat still on their chairs again. Seeing this, Deng Yuxuan took the lead to break the silence, first talked about how he discovered the secret cave, and then pointed the finger at Zeng and Xin Tong who entered the room together Gui Lingling.

"Guang can talk about me, why don't you talk about someone from Nan who had a big fight with Xin Tong?" As expected, Gui Lingling immediately retorted, and turned the knife that stabbed herself to Nan Junhui's side.

"Then why don't you say that you were framed? The whole world knows that you two are the number one suspect. As long as the focus is on you for a long time, he can always hide." If so, then as long as everyone is dragged into the water, it can be regarded as a solution to Nan Junhui's siege, and it can also be regarded as a surrender.

"Are you admitting that you did it now? Anyway, you were the one who discovered Sister Xin, and you put her there." Gui Lingling didn't realize that Deng Yuxuan used her as a bridge to cross the river, and sarcastically said .

"That's enough, don't quarrel." Nan Chong glanced at Gui Lingling and Deng Yuxuan with warning eyes, and the two had to shut up obediently.

"But he's right. Everyone here is suspicious." Nan Chong stopped the topic, but Nan Junhui brought the topic back and said, "Take a certain brother named Du as an example. Anyone who is blind can see what she means, but to him, it may be a human shield that prevents him from chasing after his brother's ass, so it's convenient..."

"I would never do such a thing. I have been separated from my brother for a whole day during the day, how could I leave my brother and run to find her in the middle of the night?" Du Tingxia interrupted Nan Junhui's words in a cold voice, The point of view based on brother control is hard to refute.

"...Are you implying that the two of you committed the crime together?" Deng Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, since Nan Junhui had already spoken out, even if he was picky, he still had to find something to testify against Du Tingxia.

"If we do this, we will only have endless suspicions." Du Mingchun said.

"Brother came out to escort the escort?" Deng Yuxuan replied with a taunt to end the topic, and said: "Whether it was an accident or on purpose, now there is a murderer among us, under such circumstances, what should we do?" place?"

"What we can do now is to protect ourselves, and the way to protect ourselves is to act collectively, or when other people get together, one of them can leave." Gui Lingling hesitated for a while, and finally whispered: " ...I want to go to the bathroom."

Ai Zihan also whispered: "I want to go too."

Nanchong blinked, obviously not expecting that the scene of killing in the middle suddenly changed his tune, and waved his hand to signal Gui Lingling to rush to the toilet, but Du Mingchun saw that they hadn't planned to leave yet, so he said, "Then I'll go to the kitchen to wash up first." The bowl is in the opposite direction from the toilet, so I’m not afraid that I’ll run to attack Lingling.” He planned to stand up, but Du Tingxia grabbed him with one hand, and insisted on taking over his brother’s job because of his injured foot, which made it difficult to move.

After Gui Lingling and Du Tingxia left, Nan Chong coughed and resumed leading the topic, saying: "Xin Tong's departure is too shocking to us, but we can't ignore other details because of this, have you found any other unusual things? Ordinary place?"

As soon as this remark came out, except for Nan Junhui, the expressions of everyone else became complicated. Everyone here has their own selfishness. In order to maximize their own interests, they don't want anyone other than themselves to know their intentions. .

Ai Zihan lowered her eyes and stared at the table. She couldn't let them know that she had a self-defense weapon. This was her only bargaining chip, especially when the assailant lurking among them was so cold-blooded that even her classmates could attack her.

Deng Yuxuan glanced at Nan Junhui. Under the premise of collective action, it would be difficult for him to find the other party secretly. He had already made a promise just once. How should Nan Junhui clearly accept his hint?

Du Mingchun picked up the cup and took a sip of the cold water. He didn't intend to tell what Ai Zihan took in the kitchen. If he guessed correctly, she should be guarding against her college classmates instead of herself. The more chaotic people are, the more they will ignore the Du brothers who have been living peacefully and low-key lives.
