After the girl's body was cleaned up, they had no idea where it was taken.

　　Fortunately, the house was not big, and it should be easy to find it.

　　"Let's look for it then," Yao agreed with Nan's suggestion. "We haven't searched this room yet, so we can see if there are any new clues."

　　So the group began to search the house.

　　The house was not big, with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

　　The kitchen was the focus of their search.

　　Lin saw some ingredients in the kitchen.

　　The ingredients were almost all vegetarian and didn't look fresh, which explained why the food tasted so bad.

　　Next to the kitchen was the bathroom.

　　There was nothing special about the bathroom except for the huge bathtub.

　　There were some black stains in the bathtub, which looked like they hadn't been used in a long time.

　　Lin looked closely and felt that the black stains looked a bit like blood, but he wasn't sure.

　　They searched everywhere, almost every corner of the house, but they still couldn't find the bag with the body.

　　"Where did they put it?" Yao wondered. "Is there another room here?"

　　Nan pondered for a moment, then suddenly got up and went to the kitchen.

　　Yao said, "What are you doing in the kitchen? We already searched there..."

　　However, shortly after Nan entered the kitchen, they heard him say, "Found it."

　　Lin quickly followed, finding Nan standing by the refrigerator.

　　The door was wide open, revealing a black bag inside.

　　The bag was the same body bag the woman had used to hold the little girl’s corpse the day before.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

　　Now, it filled the entire fridge.

　　“She actually put it in the fridge,” Yao said with disgust. “I don’t ever want to eat her cooking again.”

　　Nan reached out and dragged the black bag out of the fridge.

　　Seeing this, Lin asked, “What are you doing?”

　　“Checking it,” Nan replied, looking down. “Didn’t you all say you wanted to eat meat?”

　　Zeng, who had mentioned wanting to eat meat earlier, awkwardly chuckled. “It’s not like I *have* to eat…”

　　Nan ignored him and untied the bag, revealing what was inside.

　　Sure enough, it was the little girl’s corpse.

　　The body was chopped into pieces, so much so that some parts were unrecognizable.

　　Seeing the bloody remains, Nan’s expression remained calm.

　　He carefully examined the bag, then looked up and said, “None of the key parts are missing—at least the bone soup wasn’t made from her daughter.”

　　Everyone was speechless.

　　Yao forced a laugh. “Zhu, you’re way too calm about this.”

　　Nan responded, “Those who aren’t calm are already dead.”

　　He paused for a moment before continuing, “If the mother really did kill her daughter, the question is: why?”

　　“Who knows? Maybe she’s just gone crazy,” Yao said irritably. “We should keep our distance from her.”

　　“Yeah,” Nan casually agreed.

　　That day, none of them ate much, only nibbling on a few pieces of bread.

　　By evening, everyone was tired and weak from hunger, and the worst part was that the pot of meat soup sat on the table, its rich aroma filling the air.

　　As they thought of the woman happily drinking the soup, everyone felt a bit uneasy and started saying they were sleepy and would go to bed early.

　　Lin was also hungry.

　　After finishing a tasteless piece of bread, he went back to his room and lay down, ready to sleep.

　　Nan lay next to him and asked, “Do you know why every family used to have so many kids?”

　　Lin replied, “No…”

　　Nan turned his head and whispered into Lin’s ear, “Because back then, there were no electronic devices, and people didn’t have much to do at night.”

　　Lin: “…”

　　Nan continued, “Look at us now…”

　　Lin calmly took out his phone, indicating that he still had electronics to keep him entertained.

　　Nan:

　　“Your phone still has power?”

　　Lin:

　　“I brought a charger…”

　　Nan fell silent, then after a moment, he said, sounding wronged, “All you do is play with your phone, you don’t even talk to me.”

　　Lin felt dazed by Nan’s behavior, as if he really had a cute girlfriend who was currently pouting and complaining about not getting enough attention.

　　“Fine, what do you want to talk about?” Lin put his phone away.

　　Nan said, “Do you think someone will die tonight?”

　　Lin was stunned, not expecting Nan to say something like that.

　　“I think so,” Nan whispered as he wrapped an arm around Lin’s waist. “Because there’s already blood on the eggs.”

　　Lin fell silent, trying to figure out the meaning behind Nan’s words.

　　Nan didn’t explain further, only saying softly, “Sleep now, see you tomorrow.”

　　With that, he closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

　　Nan slept, but Lin couldn’t.

　　The narrow room felt suffocating, like a coffin.

　　If someone with claustrophobia were inside, they would surely feel like they couldn’t breathe.
