Chapter 76 Steel Rolling Mill

"Hey, you little brat, you actually know about criminal psychology? So you want to go see if there are any suspicious people? You want to catch a thief? Aren't you afraid your uncle will break your legs if he finds out?" He Caiwei wanted to roll her eyes. This guy, she really didn't know what he was thinking. With his small frame, even if he could see people, could he catch them?

Don't let your secret slip up and get yourself implicated.

"What do you think you can do with your weak appearance? If there were any 'elements' around, they could kick you to death with one kick." It wasn't that He Caiwei looked down on him, but with his height of 1.5 meters and lack of formal training, he really wasn't that useful.

"You underestimate me, don't you? You have no idea, my mom used to chase me around and beat me when I was little. I'm incredibly fast at running. Starting when I was 8, every summer my dad would drag me to the military camp to train with them. Now I can take on 4 people at once without any problem." Lu Qingzhu raised her hand, trying to show off a muscle, but there was nothing there, so she lowered her hand somewhat embarrassedly.

These past few years have been really tough. Eating meat has been a luxury. Even the canteen in the compound is just a makeshift meal.

"Why did you suddenly ask me to come along?" He Caiwei was a little confused as to why her second brother wanted to be with her.

"Hehehe, it's not that I'm too scared to go alone, but I'm afraid my older brother will beat me up if I go to call him, so I can only come to you." Lu Qingzhu really had no choice. She couldn't do this with her friends. If one of them let it slip, they would all be doomed.

Going to find my sister is the best way, and she's quite agile and fast, so she's a good choice.

"Do you think our families will allow us to go out now?" He Caiwei felt that it was still a bit chaotic outside, and it was already dark. Apart from the dim streetlights, it was basically pitch black outside. Why couldn't we do it tomorrow instead of going out now?

Asking that question leaves you speechless. I just wonder if the second brother has come up with an excuse yet.

"I've already planned this out. I'll take you to meet my brothers in the courtyard, it's just a bit far away. How about that, am I smart?"

If they lived in the same courtyard, their family wouldn't stop them. Sure enough, the two of them went out easily, wearing their thick cotton-padded coats.

The two walked quite a distance before starting to run. Lu Qingzhu was familiar with the roads after leaving the compound, so he led the way, and the two ran quickly through the streets.

There are residential areas on both sides of the steel rolling mill, and behind it is a grove of trees. At the end of the grove is a former residential area where only wealthy people lived. The houses were all detached villas. At the end of the year before last, the people in that area were labeled as "elements" and many people went in to rob and beat people.

Later, even the houses were smashed, and the whole area became ruins. It seems that after several people were killed that day, this area became a haunted house.

It is said that as soon as someone gets close, the sound of a woman crying can be heard from inside. Sometimes, at midnight, one can even see shadowy figures moving around there. Gradually, no one dared to approach this ruin anymore.

Lu Qingzhu was afraid to come to the back of the steel rolling mill alone mainly because of the legends in this area.

The two quickly arrived at the back gate of the steel rolling mill. Due to the accident in the early hours of the first day of the lunar new year, the entire back wall, along with the workshop next to it, was in a state of disrepair.

Although it's only evening, it's pitch black, and there are very few people walking around on the streets, let alone in this ruin.

The two tried to walk as quietly as possible, but no matter how they walked, their shoes crunched on the snow.

Suddenly, He Caiwei seemed to hear a creaking sound other than the two of them.

He gently slid the branch he was holding over their tracks, then pulled Lu Qingzhu to a corner to carefully observe the road outside.

Because large trucks were loading and unloading at the back gate of the steel rolling mill, the road was quite wide. At this moment, two dark figures were sneaking around on the wide road, approaching the damaged wall of the steel rolling mill.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, and after they had gone some distance, they carefully followed the footprints.

At this moment, Lu Qingzhu was both nervous and excited; he never expected to have such a fruitful trip.

When he first got that psychology book, he didn't really believe the idea that a murderer would secretly return to the crime scene after killing someone.

He even put himself in the shoes of someone else; if he had killed someone, he would have run far away and wouldn't have thought of secretly coming back to see what had happened.

But now it seems that those claims were not unfounded, and the book was lent to him by his uncle, who also said that it was brought back from abroad by some relative of his aunt.

What Lu Qingzhu didn't know was that the book belonged to He Caiwei. Her mother had taken it out of her space to pass the time. However, if all the pages with dates were torn out and placed in the space, there wouldn't be any clues. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for this thing to be here now.

After getting married, she moved to the neighboring yard and forgot to put the book back in her space. Lu Zhiheng saw it and started reading it whenever he had free time at home.

Later, with He Yuping's permission, he lent the book to Lu Qingzhu and specifically instructed him to read it carefully, and it would be even better if he could copy it down.

When Lu Qingzhu first received the book, she didn't think much of it, but she was soon captivated by its contents. She spent two days and two nights reading it, and then she even took out a notebook and copied it down.

Of course, Lu Qingfeng also read the book, although he wasn't very interested, he still read the whole thing.

He Caiwei knew about this, so she wasn't surprised at all when Lu Qingzhu mentioned the book on criminal psychology today.

The two men crept up to the back wall and peered over carefully several times, seemingly looking at something. Since they couldn't see anything behind them, they started rummaging through the rubble.

The fire has been extinguished, but the area hasn't been cleaned up yet. Plus, there was heavy snow yesterday, so while there were people guarding the front, there was no one at the back. This made it easier for those two to rummage through the ruins.

He Caiwei has better eyesight; she seems to have seen someone squat down, take something and put it in their pocket, and then the two of them quickly disappeared into the woods.

Lu Qingzhu was no longer afraid. Seeing what they were carrying, he quietly followed behind.

It started snowing again outside. With the heavy snow covering her, He Caiwei stopped trying to hide her footprints and focused on following the two people in front of her.

The woods weren't large, and they soon arrived at the ruins of the haunted mansion.

He Caiwei reached out and grabbed him, wanting to follow, but Lu Qingzhu, who was walking out of the woods, told him to wait there first.
