"Wang Tiantian? Are you in there?"
Someone lightly knocked on the wooden door of the bathroom and asked in a gentle voice.
I covered my mouth tightly, trying to pretend I wasn't here.
"Come out, I know you're in there. I just checked your room, and you weren't there."
The person simply sat down by the door and started chatting, "You're suspicious too, right? That college student is the most suspicious. Age fits, motive fits, timing fits too. She could totally have someone remote-cooperate with her to pull off this charade, don't you think? And she was here earlier than any of us, so she had time to set everything up..."
The person spoke methodically and convincingly, but I knew I absolutely couldn't open the door!
No one can remain completely indifferent when they see a corpse! Unless they were the one who killed them!
"Five monkeys, one crocodile. The monkeys are the five of us, and the crocodile is her. She wants to kill us one by one... Wang Tiantian, open the door. If we team up and strike first, we'll be safe..."
By the end of this, his voice was almost seductive.
"So... Was it you who killed Yu Duola?" I asked through the door, glancing around desperately. I found that the bathroom only had a small vent window, which I could definitely not fit through!!
"...Duola..." Huo Mo laughed outside the bathroom.
"I originally went to bandage her wound. She had scraped her hand. But she rudely told me to get out. Heh, you women, all so snobbish? Clearly..."
Huo Mo's tone suddenly turned resentful, "I just saw her trembling and scared, wanted to comfort her, and tried to hug her... Who would've thought she'd suddenly change her expression and tell me to get out...
"Why? Why did she look down on me? And you, why do you all look down on me?!
Bam!!
Huo Mo suddenly banged on the door forcefully: "Tell me! Why?! Why does everyone treat me like a servant? Huh? You were born in Rome, but we small-town kids deserve to be commanded around by you?!"
This guy is insane.
From his rambling story, I could roughly piece together what had happened.
He wanted to take advantage of Yu Duola’s vulnerability to get close to her.
We've known since high school that he had a crush on Yu Duola.
But Yu Duola told him to get lost.
When someone you're not interested in tries to get close, a woman only feels disgusted.
Being ordered around is one thing; being hugged and kissed by such a person is absolutely unacceptable.
Knowing Yu Duola’s temperament, she probably said something harsh.
Then Huo Mo snapped.
After being suppressed for so many years, his true feelings were treated like filth; anyone would lose it.
So, he most likely strangled Yu Duola by accident and staged it as a suicide.
Then, rather than stopping there, he now plans to kill me.
What should I do???
"Wang Tiantian, tell me, did I do something wrong? How about we let this fire axe decide! Let's see how many chops it takes to break down the door? If I'm wrong, then I'll let you go, okay?"
"Hahahahahaha..."
With a burst of maniacal laughter, Huo Mo swung the axe into the wooden door!
Crack!!!
The door instantly split open.
I aimed my phone's flashlight at the gap.
A dark eye, filled with bloodshot veins, suddenly appeared, radiating madness.
"Ah!!!" I no longer suppressed myself and screamed out loud.
"Oh no! It missed!"
Huo Mo forcefully pulled out the axe and swung it down again.
"Guilty! Not guilty! Guilty! Not guilty!"
Huo Mo kept choping the wooden door while muttering maniacally:
"I'll kill all of you, wipe you all out! The crocodile is hiding among the monkeys, but if I kill all of you, then I'm the crocodile! I'll live! Hahaha!"
Crack!
The wooden plank snapped open, and Huo Mo threw down the fire axe, punching through the wood pieces to reach the door lock!
This was the moment I’d been waiting for!
I picked up a sharp piece of wood and jammed it into the gap between his fingers!
"Ah!!!"
Huo Mo screamed, retracting his hand quickly.
I seized the opportunity, forcefully pushed open the bathroom door, and dashed for the exit!
