Wei Xiaofeng nodded and analyzed rigorously: "Don't you think that this kind of treatment is more difficult to be discovered than throwing it in the trash or burning it with fire?" What is usually put in a time bag will not be known to others, and the same will not be bothered by others. And when digging out the time capsule, she will definitely choose when they are all together, and she will have the opportunity to dig out the time capsule in advance and replace the items inside. ”

"Makes sense." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhuang Han suggested a possibility: "But think about it, three years have passed, and she has the opportunity to dig out the time capsule and replace the contents inside." In that case, we still have no evidence. ”

Zhuang Han's words were like a basin of cold water poured on their heads, extinguishing their hopes.

Wei Xiaofeng said a little unwillingly: "No matter what, we can only gamble, bet that she has not come to steal the time capsule to replace the contents in the past three years." ”

"But we don't know where the time sac is buried?" Yu Xiaoyu asked.

Wang Miaomiao poked her head with her fingers and said, "Xiaoyu, you are stupid, we can call and ask the senior sisters." ”

"Then I'll fight now." Ying Lanzhu took out her mobile phone.

"Wait." Zhuang Han immediately stopped, "I have a better plan, instead of scaring the snake, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

Seeing Zheng Huijiao, who was wearing black-framed glasses and a white-collar temperament, walked into the store from the night and sat down in the seat opposite her, Jiang Xinhui spoke: "Okay, Xiaohui has also arrived, and the five of us can finally get together again." It's been almost two years, right? ”

"yes, the last time the big guys got together was when they graduated from college, and it's been two years since I didn't want to be like this. Time flies! Xia Yuyu, who was sitting next to Jiang Xinhui, said with emotion.

"The rest of us can still get together from time to time, mainly because Xiaohui is too busy, and every time she asks her out, she is either working overtime or on a business trip." Deng Xuan said softly.

"I'm sorry......" Zheng Huijiao's expression was grim, and there was no trace of apology and joy on her face to reunite with her old friend, "There is fierce competition in large companies, if you don't work harder than others, you will only be eliminated." ”

Lu Yuan said with a little dissatisfaction: "Xiaohui, can't we laugh when we meet again after a long absence?" Don't keep your face strained. ”

After hearing this, Zheng Huijiao grinned at her and gave her a smiling expression.

"I've convinced you......" Lu Yuan held his forehead and shook his head helplessly.

Jiang Xinhui beckoned the waiter to serve the menu, and after the big guy discussed and ordered a few dishes, she took advantage of the time to serve the food, she opened her mouth and asked, "Did the elementary school girls from our alma mater come to you a few days ago?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Yuan and Deng Xuan both nodded. Zheng Huijiao said: "I was out of town that day, so the senior sister contacted me by phone, and I heard that she is now living in the 418 dormitory where we lived before. But I wasn't at school when it happened three years ago, so I didn't have much to tell her. ”

"Since that incident three years ago, 418 has been blocked, and I didn't expect someone to move in again this year." Lu Yuan said, "As soon as the junior girl named Zhuang Han opened her mouth, she asked me about the incident three years ago, which scared me. She said that something strange had happened in their dormitory, and it seemed to be related to the incident three years ago, so she asked me about it. It didn't look like a joke on her face, so I told her everything I knew. ”

"It's the same on my side." Deng Xuan said a little worriedly, "They don't know exactly what happened. I don't know how it's now. ”

Xia Yuyu deliberately lied: "I inquired in the afternoon, it seems that it was because one of the girls sleepwalked to make the oolong, which has nothing to do with the incident three years ago." After speaking, she glanced at Jiang Xinhui.

Jiang Xinhui comprehended and said: "But thanks to them, it seems that it is tomorrow, and tomorrow is the third anniversary of Xiaoye's death." ”

The scene fell silent all of a sudden, creating an invisible barrier with the surrounding voices.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, so everyone is free, right?" Jiang Xinhui asked. Others are generally fine, Jiang Xinhui's question is mainly to Zheng Huijiao, who is dedicated to work.

Zheng Huijiao realized this and said, "I just came back from a business trip and will rest tomorrow." ”

"Do you have any plans?" Xia Yuyu asked cooperatively.

Jiang Xinhui said: "I plan to go back to S City Engineering University together, after all, it has been almost two years since I left the school, and I don't know if there have been any changes in the school." I've already told the students who live in dormitory 418 that we'll go back to that dormitory tomorrow to have a look, and we haven't been in since the dormitory was sealed. Then let's dig out the time capsule buried three years ago, show everyone what we have buried, and tell the story of what happened between this thing and Xiao Ye, which is a kind of mourning, and it is the death day of Xiao Ye's third anniversary. In the evening, we invited the six students who live in dormitory 418 to have a meal together, and there is an invisible fate between them and us. I wonder what everyone thinks? ”

"It's been a long time since I've been back to school, and I really should go back and have a look back to retrace our green days at university." Lu Yuan said with a little excitement.

Zheng Huijiao said without changing her face: "Since it is Sister Xin's plan, I have no opinion." ”

"And when and where will we meet tomorrow?" Deng Xuan asked.

"It doesn't have to be too early, it's almost enough in an afternoon. So let's meet at the school gate at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Jiang Xinhui said.

"Okay." There was no objection from everyone.

The five women, who had not been together for many years, had endless words to say to each other, and the dinner ended in a harmonious and lively atmosphere. Originally, someone suggested going shopping together after dinner, but Jiang Xinhui and Xia Yuyu said that they had something to do in the evening, and the others also dispersed with Xi Zhongren.

***

The winter nights are bone-chilling. The night breeze is dry and cold, without temperature, and blows on people's skin like a knife. The moonlight was cold, bright but white, and the slight illumination of the earth was even more solemn.

A figure flashed into the campus of the S City Engineering University in the night. From the figure, it can be seen that she is a woman in her prime. She was wrapped in a thick coat, and her originally slender body looked so heavy. Winter is perhaps the cruelest season for women. But for this woman who walked alone in the cold wind at night, perhaps there was another meaning to this cruelty.

By the moonlight, she carried a backpack on her back, and followed the steps, looking for the destination of this trip with her memory. After all, she had been away from the place for two years, and the familiar campus had become a little unfamiliar. Fortunately, it was cold and the night was deep, and there were not many people who passed by her, and no one was suspicious of her.

After walking past several school buildings, she came to the side of the stadium and walked around the field for half a circle, across an asphalt road is a small artificial lake. Surrounding the lakeshore is a three-meter-wide landscape paved with lawns and rockeries, and regularly spaced weeping willows are planted around the lake. The cold had long swept away the willow leaves, and the remaining dry branches were still dancing alone in the night wind.

Through the pale street lights and a slightly vague memory, she came to the bottom of one of the weeping willows. The roots of this weeping willow have been buried in a time capsule that she and her four roommates made to commemorate Zhong Xiaoye for three years. In addition to willow trees, the campus is also planted with laurel trees, acacias, pines and cypresses, etc., and the reason why willows are chosen is because Zhong Xiaoye loves the ordinary tenacity of willow trees.

She looked around, the lake at night was a perfect place for student couples to have a tryst, but the cold of the winter night dispelled this romance, which undoubtedly helped her a lot.

She put down the backpack she was carrying and pulled a folding shovel from inside. She vaguely remembered the exact location of the time capsule and began to lower the spade.

On the shores of the lake, which had been quiet, there was the rustling of shovels and the sound of her gradually heavy breathing. Fortunately, the lakeside is some distance from the teaching area and the accommodation area, so she is not worried about being discovered.

The shovel shoveled the grass skin, turning over the dirt, and at the same time unraveling everything she had been deliberately blinding for the past three years.

Three years is not a short time. In three years, she has entered the big dye vat of society from a pure ivory tower, and has changed from an innocent girl to a woman who has tasted the ups and downs of life. In the past three years, she has experienced a lot: a happy and carefree college life, a sweet and beautiful love time, a helpless and sentimental graduation separation, a thorny employment road, and an intriguing professional career......

She has been having a pimple in her heart for the past three years......

Zhong Xiaoye's suicide is a painful blow and an unbearable memory for anyone who has been with her day and night for more than two years. The difference is that everyone else can slowly come out of the pain and continue to face a new life, but she has always been haunted. Because she knows very well that Zhong Xiaoye's suicide has a lot to do with herself. If it weren't for her, maybe this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

When she found out that the tragedy had happened and everything was irreparable, she was afraid, so she did something in vain to try to cover up the truth when everyone's eyes were focused on Zhong Xiaoye's poignant figure hanging in the air.

After doing that, she was apprehensive, and her fear and insecurity overshadowed the grief and grief of losing her friend. A day later, she was already lucky, fortunately no one found out what she had done secretly, and the reason for Zhong Xiaoye's suicide was not investigated, and she and her other roommates moved out of dormitory 418 shortly after. A little more than a year later, she left the university and embarked on a social path of reformatting, which was three years......

For three years, she consciously forced herself to forget about it, in order to have peace of mind. But a phone call a few days ago made her feel uneasy, a freshman girl from her alma mater called her to ask her about Zhong Xiaoye's suicide three years ago, and coincidentally, the girl lived in dormitory 418 where the incident occurred. She sent the girl away without knowing it, reassuring herself: it was just a coincidence, it had been so long since that incident, and no one would know what they had done at that time.

However, during the dinner party in the evening, Jiang Xinhui proposed to dig out the time capsule, which made her heart beat wildly. Three years ago, she put the truth of Zhong Xiaoye's suicide into the time capsule and buried it in the soil, thinking that they would not come to dig up this sadness again in this life, and she gradually forgot about it. Now she must do something, or the truth will be revealed tomorrow.

The shovel slammed into something hard, and she stopped, crouched down to take a closer look at the pit she had just dug. A patch of purple peeked out of the soil at the bottom of the pit, and she suddenly relaxed: she had dug into the time capsule. She carefully brushed aside the surrounding dirt with a shovel and pulled out the egg-shaped time capsule.

When the lid is opened, there are six delicately wrapped boxes, and through the street light, you can see that the names of the six girls who lived in dormitory 418 three years ago are written on them. Except for the things in the box with Zhong Xiaoye's name written on them, which were selected by everyone, what was in the other boxes, no one else knew except the owner of the thing. That's why she dared to put the truth inside.

Taking out the box with her name written on it, she carefully unpacked it and opened the lid. There was a rag doll with a detached body inside, with a white dress and long black hair, which looked weird and crazy in the dark.

At this moment, the street lights suddenly went out......

The chilly night breeze became eerie......
