Upon hearing this, he immediately put his backpack on the ground, unzipped it, and took it out: "You mean this? Actually, it's a baseball bat! I always bring this in every year for self-defense."

"But this baseball bat looks pretty thin." Lin Xiaofeng looked it up and down. "Can I play baseball with this bat?"

Da Zhuang broke out in a cold sweat: "That's why I said it was for self-defense."

"You mean for self-defense?" Xiaolan looked frightened, clinging tightly to Yuanzi's arm and shrinking into herself. "Could it be that there's a bear lurking around here?"

"No...no, we shouldn't encounter any bears, right?"

"Yes...yes."

Everyone went inside and enjoyed their lunch. Xiaolan cut off a small piece of meat with a knife, picked up a fork, and put it in her mouth to chew and savor it.

Soon, a satisfied smile spread across her face, completely absorbed in the deliciousness: "So delicious!!"

"Really, this is really delicious," Sonoko exclaimed.

"Ms. Komine, your burgers are really delicious! Right, Mary?" Sera said happily, revealing her canine teeth.

"Thank you for the compliment."

The fat man wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Xiaofeng, I think the hamburger patties you made are good enough to sell in the store."

"Is it really that good?" Xiaofeng asked modestly, "You've all praised me so much that I'm getting a little proud."

Da Zhuang added, "You're right, these hamburger patties can definitely sell for a good price!"

Praises came one after another, and everyone except Ms. Xiao Xiang wore expressions of enjoyment.

The garden path, where the language of the seven miles is spoken, says: "Lin Shiliang, you seem very skilled with your knife and fork, because—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shi Liang cheerfully continued her topic: "Actually, I was completely unable to do it when I was young, but after living abroad for three years, I naturally got used to it."

Without the slightest hesitation or attempt to conceal anything, I told them the truth.

"No wonder you came back from America." Xiaolan said with a smile in her eyes.

"Mary, look at you, your mouth is all smeared." Sonoko took out a tissue and wiped his mouth as if she were concerned for her son, which made Lin Xiaofeng, who was standing to the side, feel very uncomfortable.

"By the way, everyone, how did you all meet?"

Xiao Xiang closed her eyes and said coldly, "I participated in the outdoor activities club in high school."

The fat man raised his glass slightly: "Back then, we all went hiking or camping together."

"However, since they are high school students, almost all club activities can only be concentrated during the summer vacation."

Xiaofeng smiled happily: "But those were really happy times, even though there were only five classmates in the club."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief: "Five classmates, that means the woman in red we saw in the forest earlier was also a member of your club, right?"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they showed shocked expressions, their eyes widening even more than before. Xiao Feng, who was holding a tray of water glasses, suddenly dropped them onto the ground with a clatter.

Lin Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes, took a sip of tea, and immediately sensed that there was something fishy going on behind the scenes.

Xiao Feng opened his mouth wide and hurriedly asked, "Where...where did you see it?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Xiaolan was confused by everyone's reaction: "Teacher Yiyu also saw it in the forest just now."

Ms. Xiao Xiang became agitated, slamming her hands on the table: "Are you sure that person was wearing red?"

Yes... what's wrong?

Lin Xiaofeng spoke coldly, deliberately lowering his voice: "It was a woman with long hair, wearing a red raincoat and red boots, and dressed entirely in red from head to toe."

“Could that be…” Da Zhuang’s nostrils flared involuntarily.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!" The fat man trembled all over: "Satoko is clearly dead, how could she still be alive?!"

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

"No..." Da Zhuang calmed the fat man down and explained, "I was wondering if it's possible that it's the murderer from fifteen years ago."

"Please tell us about that matter in detail. I think Sera and Mary are also very curious, right?" Lin Xiaofeng rested his chin on his hands.

"That's right. Fifteen years ago, a murder occurred in another rental villa nearby. The victim was an employee of a certain company."

"Just as he was secretly taking his mistress on a trip and they arrived at the rented villa, his wife suddenly burst in with a kitchen knife."

"By the time the police arrived after hearing about the commotion, the room in the rented villa had been turned into a sea of ​​blood, with the wife holding a knife and repeatedly stabbing her husband."

"The blood that gushed out was so intense that it stained the white raincoat worn by the wife with the scars on it with a bright red color, so everyone called her Qi Qi."

"The woman in red!"

Sonoko calmly ate her meal: "So, did the police catch the woman in red later?"

"No, she used a kitchen knife to slash the police officers who arrived at the scene, and then disappeared into the forest. She is still at large."

“Then, three years later, when a few of us came to this rented villa during our high school summer vacation, another member, Satoko, said.”

Dazhuang deliberately lowered his voice: "We saw the woman in red, so we suggested that we all go into the forest to look for her."

"However, during the search, only Satoko got separated from us. As it was getting dark, we asked the police to help with the search, but we still found nothing."

"She was found a week later. The last thing we found was Satoko's muddy body, which had sunk to the bottom of the bottomless swamp."

"Although it was because the shoes were right by the swamp that we finally found her."

"However, the kitchen knife from that murder case was also left at the crime scene, which makes everyone think..."

The young woman's eyes widened, and she said seriously, "Perhaps Congzi was being chased by the woman in red lurking in the forest, and in her panicked escape, she accidentally fell into the swamp and died."

686. Is it my fault for having a flat chest?

"Stop talking!" the fat man said, somewhat displeased.

Da Zhuang sighed helplessly: "It's such a pity. I was really looking forward to seeing high school girls, but they brought their boyfriends, two couples at that."

"Huh?! Two couples?"

The fat man explained, "Because we heard beforehand that Sera's sister would be bringing a female friend—"

"I'm Sera's younger sister! Sera Masumi!!" Sera Masumi said helplessly. Is it her fault she has a flat chest?

"What!?" The two looked at her in surprise: "You...you're actually a girl?"

"I always thought you were a boy!"

"Ahem!" Lin Xiaofeng cleared his throat: "Mr. Dazhuang, may I ask what's in your backpack? It's so bulging."

Upon hearing this, he immediately put his backpack on the ground, unzipped it, and took it out: "You mean this? Actually, it's a baseball bat! I bring this in every year for self-defense."

"But this baseball bat looks pretty thin." Lin Xiaofeng looked it up and down. "Can I play baseball with this bat?"

Da Zhuang added, "You're right, these hamburger patties can definitely sell for a good price!"

Praises came one after another, and everyone except Ms. Xiao Xiang wore expressions of enjoyment.

Sonoko said cryptically, "Sera, you seem quite skilled with your knife and fork, is that because—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shi Liang cheerfully continued her topic: "Actually, I was completely unable to do it when I was young, but after living abroad for three years, I naturally got used to it."

687. Mary, don't run around.

Everyone was filled with unease, each harboring a secret they couldn't tell anyone.

Xiaolan asked, "Could it be that you want Shiliang to go and capture that woman in red?"

"No." Xiaofeng came to his senses: "That's the job of the police, although, after graduation, a few of us would get together every year on the day that Congzi's body was found."

"But starting about two years ago, strange things began to happen one after another."

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and Xiaofeng lowered his voice to explain the situation to them.

"Sometimes it's because a window pane is broken, or a bunch of apples roll into the room, or there's no hot water."

"Later it was discovered that the water tank of the water heater was filled with red rose petals, and even the front door of the rented villa had been splashed with red paint by unknown people."
