I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 395: 3 Contractors 1

These weeds were about half a person's height, messy, with branches tangled together.

Gu Chaoxi looked around and found an abandoned steel pipe from the path next to the building.

The steel pipe was only about one meter long, and the end looked a little rusty.

She held the steel pipe in her right hand and used her left hand to hold the palm-leaf fan to fan herself twice.

At noon, it was so hot that she felt uncomfortable, and the sunlight was so strong that she could hardly open her eyes.

Compared to Gu Chaoxi, Pei Yan looked around and found a long square wooden stick.

The wooden stick had probably been discarded for a long time, and the front part was broken and not very neat.

He touched the front with his fingers and felt a little prickly.

The entire wooden stick was covered with moss, which looked a bit uncomfortable, but there was nothing we could do about it now.

The two of them used their tools to push all the weeds that were blocking the way to the sides bit by bit. Some of them were directly chopped off by Pei Yan with a wooden stick.

Some were simply stepped on and pressed down on the ground.

The distance from the weeds to the big pit was about five or six meters.

As they approached the pit, the weeds suddenly disappeared a lot, just as they saw from the upstairs, the weeds simply surrounded the big pit.

Gu Chaoxi waved a palm-leaf fan and squatted down at the edge of the pit.

"About one meter?" she muttered, putting down the steel pipe with her right hand and reaching out to pick up some soil from the edge of the pit.

She rubbed her fingertips twice, then shook off all the dirt on her fingers. She supported herself on her knees and slowly looked up at the big pit.

Pei Yan stood beside her, just looking at the edge of the big pit in the distance.

“The soil is somewhat dry and not finely divided.”

This was the conclusion she had just come to.

It rained heavily here last night, and even though the sun was very strong during the day, the soil on the edge that she had just kneaded was not completely dry.

The outer layer of the tiny bit of soil she pinched was dry, but when she squeezed it, the inside was still wet.

Moreover, it is impossible to pinch it into very fine pieces, it is just small clumps together.

This kind of soil is really not very good.

Since the soil here is relatively hard and it is a large pit dug a long time ago, why was it abandoned?

It looks like this place was originally intended to be dug as a foundation, right?

Although he was not quite sure about the reason, Gu Chaoxi felt a cold sweat on his back when he thought that this might be used by the murderer to bury the body.

She glanced around again and shook her head.

"There are too many weeds around. But wouldn't it be better to just throw the body into the weeds?"

If they faked a scene of Wang Chao leaving the dormitory building and going somewhere else, and then threw the body into the weeds to cover it up.

Coupled with the recent heavy rain, there are so many things that can be covered up by the rain.

The high temperature from the sun during the day accelerates decomposition, and the corpses become food for plants.

Besides, there are many people and a lot of garbage on the construction site, so there is already a lot of smell. Maybe no one will notice the smell of rotting flesh.

"But if the other party is very familiar with the size of the construction site and is determined to search the entire site, it would not be safe to just throw it in the weeds."

Pei Yan followed her line of thought and thought about it, then shook his head.

When something happens on a construction site, the first thing to check is the construction site itself.

What's more, one thing is very certain: the murderer is an employee on the construction site.

In this case, his idea was not to throw the body carelessly into the weeds, but to bury it directly or hide it in some other way.

For example, this building under construction next to it?

Gu Chaoxi raised his head and looked at the building next to him, counting each floor one by one.

There are seven floors, and we are about to go up to the eighth floor.

It should be easy to bury a body in a construction site that is under renovation, right?

The thoughts that flashed through her mind almost scared herself.

But soon, Gu Chaoxi patted his chest and felt relieved.

"It's okay, it's okay, sometimes you just need to take a bold guess."

In the absence of any clues, you have to boldly guess all possible possibilities, and then infer which of these possibilities are really possible.

She stood up on her knees, put her feet on the edge and walked in the direction of the pit.

The water that accumulated in the big pit last night is now only a thin layer.

In some places in the pit, there was still some discarded film, which looked dirty after being covered with mud.

She walked along the edge of the pit, and Pei Yan followed behind her.

There was nothing special inside the pit or around its edges, and certainly no signs of recent damage.

Raising his hand and touching his chin, Gu Chaoxi continued walking forward, not forgetting to avoid the small puddles with water.

If there was no advance planning, did the murderer kill accidentally in anger? Or was it a crime of passion?

The two of them walked around the pit but found nothing, so they had to walk back to the building dejectedly.

It was almost time to start work in the afternoon, and I saw people walking towards the construction site in groups of three or four from the dormitory building, carrying water bottles.

When they came over there, they threw away all the sticks and steel pipes they had picked up, and did not forget to restore the weeds on the outermost edge.

Although it is not uncommon to go there, it is better to save trouble than to worry about it.

If someone saw it and started shouting about what was going on, she wouldn't know how to explain it in the most normal and reasonable way.

Someone greeted Pei Yan on the way, and he just nodded and continued to follow Gu Chaoxi towards the gate of the dormitory building.

When I turned in, I saw Wang Chao talking to someone at the kitchen door.

The man had his back to the door, while Wang Chao was standing at the kitchen door, basically leaning against the door frame.

The expression on his face didn't look very good, and he even lowered his head slightly because of what the person opposite him said.

The person opposite raised his hand and gestured something, and after a while, he finally stopped.

Wang Chao seemed to be a little uninterested. He waved at the man and turned into the kitchen.

The man sighed and turned around.

Gu Chaoxi frowned slightly. She knew this person. She had seen him on the seventh floor in the morning. He was one of the three people who were talking about the drawings.

Before Gu Chaoxi could say anything, Pei Yan reacted first.

"I saw you this morning."

"Well, they are a pretty special couple." Gu Chaoxi smiled.

The wife He Min is related to the construction site contractor Shen Shijie, while the husband Wang Chao is related to another contractor.

I just don't know what mode they are playing.

However, it shouldn’t be a game.

Maybe it's about He Mei's younger brother again. After all, she really wants her younger brother to come to this construction site to make money.
