Bai Lin was not discouraged by the setback. She continued to ask, “It’s known that everyone in the village is as thin as a stick, and only the village chief is strong and healthy. May I ask why this is?”

Bai Lin liked to be a teacher, especially in such extreme situations. However, she did not like the feeling of failure when her student kept not getting it.

The answer to this question was almost revealed to Zheng You, but Bai Lin was still afraid that she could not understand, so she added, “Make your guess in the simple direction. The most straightforward answer is the correct one.” The others’ interests were also piqued. In Miss Bai l s class, the old man who had been chasing them did not seem so scary anymore.

Zheng You thought for two seconds and said unconfidently, “Because no one else likes to eat other than the village chief!”

Bai Lin was speechless. She was so angry that she laughed.

“Because only the village chief can have a full meal.” Bai Lin stopped, grabbed Zheng You’s bag and carried it on her back. At the same time, she threw her bag to Zheng You. “Miss Bai’s class is over. The student is too stupid, so the teacher’s decided to run away overnight.”

After that, Bai Lin ran along the path and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The old man changed his target and followed closely behind Bai Lin.

The sweat on Zheng You’s face was so much that it could be boiled into soup. As her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she lay on the ground without caring about her image.

The others were dumbfounded as they watched Bai Lin leave in a hurry.

“Li-ge and I were searching for clues with Bai Lin. She told me to pay attention to the background of the story. Was she trying to hint us something when she asked us that question?” Ye Xing asked weakly.

Li Xuan thought about it carefully. “That old man’s probably the village chief. We went to a house before, and Bai Lin said that someone would open the lock at midnight and release the ‘cat’. If we think about it this way, the ‘cat’ is probably the person’s pet. It’s normal for him to want the cat teaser.”

Zheng You looked at the sky in a daze. “So I’ll be fine as long as I give him the cat teaser?

“Not necessarily,” Li Xuan said, “It’s also possible that it’ll trigger the condition for death after handing it over.”

Wang Can rubbed his face and said, “I’m too old to think straight. Can anyone tell me why you said that the old man is the village chief?”

“It’s quite simple. Bai Lin said that the house is the biggest in the village, and it’s normal for the village chief to have special rights.” “Also, what did Bai Lin’s second question mean?

“Famine,” Yan Ruo said thoughtfully.

Everyone looked at him. “What?”

Yan Ruo replied, “When I was investigating, I found the corpses in the stove pit. They were exactly the same as Bai Lin’s description. They were all as thin

as a stick Only a famine could cause everyone to look like this.”

“Then the village chief…”

“The village chief must’ve used some method to get himself enough food. This might be related to that ‘black cat’.” Yan Ruo rubbed his temples. “Let’s go and see if there are any other clues. Everyone, do a quick search. We’ll ask again when Bai Lin returns.”

Bai Lin, Bai Lin, Bai Lin! Why was it always her?!

Everyone had to mention this name when they spoke, as if they were all impressed by her.

Zheng You’s eyes were red with jealousy. Not only did she fail to develop a relationship with Yan Ruo, but her limelight was stolen.

She would not allow such a thing to happen. Seeing that the others had packed up and were ready to follow Bai Lin’s plan to find clues, she quickly stood up and said, “Wait a minute! Bai Lin’s idea is feasible, but I think there are still many loopholes.”

Li Xuan glared at her impatiently. “Yes, yes, yes. You know a lot. If you know so much, why were you so helpless when you were facing the old man just now?

Zheng You could not explain this, so she avoided it directly. “You’ve all been deceived. In fact, this is a trap set by Bai Lin on purpose!”

These words were shocking.

Everyone looked at her. Zheng You’s brain worked quickly and she began to make up a story. “You all say that the ghost is the village chief, but is it possible that Bai Lin is actually the ghost? She’s trying to confuse us and then catch us all in one fell swoop!’

Everyone was speechless.

Even Wang Can, who had been Zheng You’s lackey, could not help but say, “Miss Zheng, listen to what you’re saying!’
