The three of them walked briskly, and in a few minutes they had reached the end of the mountain.

Quickening his pace and walking through the bend, his vision suddenly brightened.

It seemed to be more open than where we had been, and the rushing stream slowed down as it turned the bend in the pole.

The stream is a river, and the sound of the river is rushing, which is really a rare sight!

At a glance, I could see a three-story dilapidated building at the foot of the hill across the widening riverbank, with a large sign hanging crookedly on the top.

After squinting for a long time, I finally saw that the decayed and faded signboard had four big words written on it - 'Gem Middle School'.

"Gem Middle School? Is there a school here? I subconsciously muttered, something strange.

Could this be the abandoned school that my classmates had mentioned on the bus?

Zhao Qiqi took out a map from his arms casually and looked at it, and then put the map into his arms again: "This used to be the only high school in Shiwuzi Village, and it was officially abandoned after sending away the last student in 09. ”

Looking around at the surrounding mountains, Du Deming subconsciously touched his chin: "However, there doesn't seem to be any family here, right?" ”

"In the past, there were, but later in response to the call to 'return farmland to forest', the villagers moved to distant places. If you walk forward for more than half an hour, you will see many old houses that were once inhabited. Zhao Qiqi explained expressionlessly, and there was not much fluctuation in his voice.

"Hey, let's leave this alone, let's think about where they went!" Seeing the two chatting, I had some worried reminders.

Zhao Qiqi was not worried, staring at the riverbank in front of the dilapidated and abandoned school opposite, she reluctantly said: "Oh, you take a closer look, there are footprints over there, so ......"

"You don't mean they went into that school, do you? But why? The corners of my mouth twitched, and I couldn't figure out why they wanted to go inside.

Du Deming also looked at her in surprise, as if he was waiting for an answer.

Zhao Qiqi shrugged: "You ask me, I don't know, just go in and take a look." ”

As she spoke, she smiled like a fox, as if she was thinking about something.

I just felt a chill run down my back and wanted to ask her what she wanted to do.

However, Zhao Qiqi had already pulled up his trousers, took off his shoes, and stepped into the river that was not too deep.

Shocked, Du Deming and I glanced at each other, worried that something would happen to Zhao Qiqi, so I quickly followed her example and quickly pulled up my trousers, took off my shoes, and hurriedly followed.

The current was not too fast, and the river was just above the ankles.

A few minutes later, the three of us came to the old abandoned school opposite.

As soon as we got ashore, we shook the mud and water from our shoes at the same time.

Looking up at the abandoned school deep in the mountains in front of me, I suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in my heart.

Zhao Qiqi in front didn't wait for the two of us to finish sighing, and walked straight towards the location of the school.

Knowing that the six of them had probably entered the very modest three-story school, we moved lightly.

There are four large classrooms on the first floor, of which the blackboards in the two rooms on the left have long been gone, and the two classrooms on the right are relatively intact.

There were wooden blocks scattered on the floor of the four classrooms, yellowed waste paper, dust was quite thick, and blackboards hung diagonally on the walls.

Obviously, no one has been here for a long time.

After tiptoeing around, I didn't find any of them.

That means they can only be on the second or third floor.

On the way to the middle staircase on the first floor, we saw a row of slightly scattered fresh footprints, which happened to confirm this.

The three of us held our breath and cautiously made our way to the second floor.

After checking the last room, nothing was found.

So that is to say......

There were six of them, and they must have been in a classroom somewhere on the third floor.

Realizing this, I suddenly became a little nervous.

After all, we are facing six suspects who may have killed someone, even if we have strengthened our physical fitness and abilities.

But in front of ordinary people, try not to use those abilities, after all, if others know, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And most importantly, we don't have any substantial evidence, it's just our intuitive judgment.

Thinking like this, I stretched out my hand and pointed to the location of the staircase on the third floor, and silently asked Zhao Qiqi if we wanted to go up.

Zhao Qiqi glanced at the two of us and nodded firmly.

Less than a minute later, the three of us made our way to the third floor without a sound.

My heart began to beat rapidly, and I took the risk and walked to the door of the second classroom on the left, which was closest to us.

Luckily, no one.

I breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned, and motioned for them to come in first.

Du Deming and Zhao Qiqi nodded, and also silently and quickly rushed to the classroom where I was.

As soon as I walked into this classroom, I had a strange feeling, but I couldn't tell what was strange.

Like the four classrooms on the second floor, there was still a musty smell of rot.

At this time, Zhao Qiqi had already walked to the podium and was looking at something.

After all, after getting along for so long, I probably figured out Zhao Qiqi's temperament, and I didn't mess with her, I checked in the classroom casually and carefully, and barely made any sound.

The gaze swept over the wind-crunched windows, the frames covered in dark red rust.

A large patch of dirt peeled off the wall of the doorway, and when I looked up, the house seemed to be leaking.

Du Deming and I looked around, and finally returned to Zhao Qiqi's side, but I was immediately attracted by the graffiti under the blackboard.

"Lao Zhang, your piglet was stolen by Lao Wang, don't tell me why you know."

When I got closer and looked closer, I laughed helplessly.

Of course, no sound was made.

"What do you do when you encounter a tiger?" Someone wrote on the wall.

I followed this sentence and looked down, and someone really replied.

"You should straighten your back, look at the tiger angrily, open your arms, and say something from your mouth: 'You have a kind of come to eat me!' - In this way, you will die with more dignity. ”

The cat is leaning over and is trying to see if there is a follow-up below.

However, I suddenly noticed that there was a small hole in the wall.

Tilting his head to the left and right, there were several more beside him.

Curiously, aim your eyes at the small holes.

Through it, you can see the second classroom on the right hand side of the third floor, which is the scene in the classroom next to us.

Could it be left over from the pranks of the former students?

Shhh

Someone looks like there?

Realizing this, I raised my head suddenly, just about to tell Zhao Qiqi and Du Deming.

However, there was a sudden slight quarrel in the classroom next door.

That voice is Liang Shiya and Cui Haodi's!

My heart subconsciously swooped.

It was obvious that Du Deming also heard the movement next door, and he was about to leave here to take a look, so I quickly reached out and pulled him over.

"Shhhhh I spoke in a voice that only the three of us could hear.

Leaning on my waist, I pointed to the small hole in the wall, then to my eyes, and whispered: "They're next door, and you can see the movement over there from here." ”
