Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

In addition to Hayama Hayato who was the first to jump out of the car, he was followed by his dear little group, including Miura Yuko, Ebina Himina, and Tobe Sho.

"Why are you here traveling too?" he asked.

"This...how should I say it..."

Hayama Hayato smiled helplessly and gestured backward with his eyes.

Qin Xianshu took a quick glance and almost fainted on the spot.

I saw a bus dedicated to tour groups slowly approaching on the country road paved with mud and grass.

Inside the bus, dozens of young and cute little faces looked out from the glass windows with full curiosity.

Those were groups of... elementary school students!

As the saying goes, seven and eight years old are exactly the age when cats and dogs dislike them. Creatures like naughty children are not terrible. What is terrible is that no one cares about naughty children.

Fortunately, these naughty kids are still under control.

Ten minutes later, under the command of the person in charge who also got off the bus, the primary school students sat down in a square formation on the field in front of the B&B bungalow in an orderly manner, and uniformly raised their pink-carved jade bags. A cute little face.

In front of the phalanx, the person in charge, who looked like a tour guide in sportswear, was still making his final speech.

"So, finally, let's say hello to all the volunteer brothers and sisters who came to help!"

"Please give me more advice~"

The response was the uneven and milky sounds of the children below.

The person in charge nodded with satisfaction and immediately handed the trumpet-shaped loudspeaker in his hand to Hayama Hayato who was standing aside.

Hayama Hayato took over the loudspeaker and showed a warm smile that was just right to the children below, steadily using his natural strengths as always.

"If you have anything, you can tell us at any time. Let us leave countless beautiful memories in this forest summer camp,"

"..."

At the same time, less than two meters behind Hayama Hayato, Qin Ushu squatted on a low stone wall in a standard Slavic style, with the corners of his eyes twitching slightly. On the left and right sides stood Shizuka Hiratsuka. Yukinoshita Yukino.

Sensing the uncertain expression on a certain high school detective, Hiratsuka smiled and turned around to squeeze his hand.

"Okay, be happy. Didn't I tell you that I just want you to come and enjoy the trip? I won't let you take care of the children like Hayama and the others. Then you can just come with me."

"With a beautiful teacher like me accompanying you, is there anything else you can be dissatisfied about?"

As she said this, she winked playfully.

Qin Xianshu still remained silent.

As Hayama Hayato's speech ended, the person in charge took the microphone again and announced.

"So, the first activity of the summer camp, orienteering - starts now!"

"Oooo!"

Ah...please come up with some difficult cases to relieve your boredom.

Listening to the joyful shouts of the elementary school students below, the high school detective looked up at the cloudless sky and thought to himself.

Chapter 71 Corpse Lake

The so-called orienteering is more like mountain patrol than cross-country.

All the places we walked were basically the roads commonly taken by the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Not only was the safety extremely high, but the terrain was also mostly very gentle.

Qin Xianshu, who was following the entire group at the end, made some physical estimates and found that the entire cross-country distance was only a little over one kilometer. There were checkpoints almost every two or three hundred meters, and it was divided into three checkpoints in total.

Each checkpoint can basically consume more than half an hour.

By the time we returned to the camp after finding all three checkpoints, the morning was almost over.

It's lunch time.

The lunch location was in the middle of a camp surrounded by forest on three sides, not far from the farmhouse village. Food stall-style open-air tents and canteen tables and chairs were neatly placed.

And since it is a summer camp, it is not like a normal tour group tour, where you can sit in a small restaurant during meal time and wait for the food to be served. Instead, you have to cook by yourself.

The farmhouse will help prepare ingredients, including firewood and matches for making a fire, and kitchen utensils and stoves are available in the camp.

"Okay-"

Shizuka Hiratsuka, dressed in work clothes, squatted in front of a stove, surrounded by elementary school students.

She skillfully set up a small pile of firewood under the stove, spread some dead branches and leaves at the bottom, and then covered the top with some small branches that were more flammable but would not burn out immediately. Thick wooden sticks that are not flammable but extremely resistant to burning are arranged in a pyramid shape around the primer at the bottom.

Puff-!

Accompanied by a short sound when the match head crossed the phosphorus surface, a flash of flame suddenly jumped up from the front of the match in Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand.

Then, with a skillful gesture that made the director of the detention center's eyes glow red, she handed the burning match in her hand into the firewood pile. The tiny flames came into contact with the dry dead branches and leaves, and the dead branches and leaves were instantly ignited, and the flames ignited. After continuing for a few seconds, the thin branches on top were ignited, and then the thin branches finally ignited the thick wooden sticks.

"Okay, this should be fine."

Seeing the burning pyre gradually stabilizing, the female teacher stood up straight with her knees up, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her forearm and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Xianshu clicked his tongue at the side: "With such skillful movements, you can see that he is a habitual offender. A fire on the mountain will make the director fall in love with me~"

He was talking and singing in tune.

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at this guy: "Teacher, when I was in college, I often went camping with my classmates. Every time I was making a fire, a bunch of dog lovers would be beside me... Tsk, I feel so sad when I mention it. It’s gotten worse.”

Ah……

Qin Xianshu laughed ruthlessly in her heart.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked around at the large group of primary school students surrounding her: "Then the boys will be responsible for lighting the fire, and the girls will be responsible for preparing the ingredients!"

"it is good--!"

What responded to her was the chorus of thirty or forty primary school students.

"Why don't you just separate men and women because you don't want to see young lovers hanging out in front of you? As expected of your teacher." Qin Ushu joked.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just a matter of allocating work tasks reasonably." Hiratsuka Shizuka refused to admit it. "Okay, there won't be anything for you until lunch time. You can move around freely if you want. Remember Be back at dinner time."

"Great!"

Tobe Sho was the first to cheer. He grabbed his good friend Hayama Hayato and said loudly.

"Speaking of which, when I was climbing the mountain just now, I saw that there seemed to be a big lake not far from here. How about we go there and take a look now. The weather is so hot. If nothing happens in the afternoon, how about we go there to swim? ?”

"A big lake? Where? Why didn't I see it when I was climbing the mountain?" Miura Yuiko asked with a frown.

"Of course you can't see Yumiko if you keep walking on the mountain road." Sho Tobe explained, "Go to the north of the mountain road and run to the highest point, and you will see it. There is a huge lake!"

As if to enhance his persuasion, he also specially made a huge circle by manually volleying in the air.

"Eh?" Miura Yuko looked troubled, "I guess no one goes to a place like that in the wild mountains. It's too dangerous. What should I do if something happens?"

"There is someone there." Sho Tobe said seriously.

"When I saw it, there were people there at the lake, and there were several people there. There was also a fishing boat parked nearby, and it seemed like they were going for diving."

"diving?"

"Yeah, because I saw someone wearing a diving suit."

"Thank you for being able to see clearly..."

Miura Yuko didn't know what to say.

"By the way, would you like to go with Usami Shu?" Tobe Sho asked as he cast his eyes over.

"Huh? Me?"

Qin Xianshu thought for a while.

"I won't. It's quite hot today, and it's almost noon. Wouldn't it be nice to just stay in the camp and fish and enjoy the coolness?"

"Okay..." The atmosphere maker sounded regretful.

At this time, a voice came from the side.

"By the way, I heard you guys wanted to visit the lake in the north?"

The one who spoke was the team leader of the primary school students. He had just gone to the car to put down the flag for the team leader, took off his sun protection jacket, and walked over wearing only a short-sleeved shirt.

"Ah, yes, it's that super-big lake over there." Tobe Sho pointed in the direction and repeated.

"There..."

The team leader seemed to be very familiar with the area. He immediately realized what the huge lake Tobe Sho was talking about and scratched his head in distress.

"I suggest you don't go there. The lake over there... isn't very good."

"Not normal?"

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply - it's a lake of dead men."

The leader of the group told the shocking facts in a calm tone.

"I grew up here, and my home is not far from here, so I know that tourists who come here often like to go swimming in that lake, and almost every time... there will be a drowning accident. , so later the villagers here simply put up a sign by the lake saying no swimming."

"Is this true?" Sho Tobe was doubtful, "But I saw people on the edge of the lake preparing to dive in the water before."

"Oh, that's not for diving."

The team leader looked at him and said.

"That's the corpse hunter."

"What...retrieve, retrieve corpses?!"

Yuigahama Yui heard it and couldn't help but screamed, while covering her mouth desperately.

"Yes, the corpse hunter."

The team leader nodded.

"It is said that there are water monkeys in that lake, and they specifically target foreign tourists. They are so powerful that if they are grabbed by the ankles in the water, they cannot break free, and they will eventually drown alive at the bottom of the lake."

"If the other party's family wants to recover the body, they must ask the local body retrievers here to go down and retrieve the body. However, it also depends on luck. Not every time the body can be retrieved smoothly."

"It feels so scary." Yuigahama Yui shrank her head.

She was originally a timid person, but after hearing this and that, she suddenly had no idea of ​​going there.

"Water Monkey... Corpse Recoverer..."

Qin Xianshu crossed his arms, and the index and middle fingers of his right hand formed a sword-pointing finger, slightly bent and tapped on his forehead.

He opened his eyes and curled up into an excited smile.

"really interesting."

"Okay, I changed my mind, I have to go and have a look!"

Chapter 72 Water Monkey

"Eh, eh? Wait a minute, Xian Shu, didn't the team leader just say that there's something in that lake..."

Upon hearing that Qin Sanshu actually insisted on going, Yuigahama Yui suddenly panicked.

Qin Xianshu turned back to look at her.

"You want to say there are water monkeys?"

"Uh……"

The dumpling girl was speechless for a moment.

Qin Xianshu rolled his eyes and said: "We are in a scientific society now, and strange powers and chaos have long been a thing of the past. How can such things still exist in reality? If you think about it, you will know that it is a lie! "

"But……"

Yuigahama Yui seemed to want to say something more, and a warm palm covered the dumpling on top of her head.
