Chapter 460 The position of the embroidered shoes has changed
"It seems that this person has an extremely crazy desire to control Zhao Yuer."
Shen Yao shook the book in his hand, and on the page he opened, it said that Zhao Yuer said today that she had a lover.
When the last few words were recorded, they were obviously written with more emphasis, appearing less calm.
Gu Chaoxi glanced at it and quite agreed with this statement.
Afterwards, they looked through most of the records, but apart from the objective records, there were very few records of the recorders' own inner thoughts.
There isn't much that can be learned from these records.
Pei Yan walked to the desk and sat down, placing his hands on the desk as if he was going to take notes.
Then he raised his head and looked at the passage ahead. It was pitch dark and he couldn't see the way he came.
After a while, he looked up again, and there was nothing above his head, only a black top.
Pei Yan placed his hands on his knees while sitting cross-legged, and reached under the table. After a long time, his fingers touched something.
It seemed to be stuck upside down on the table. He groped around with his hands and knocked the thing off.
Gu Chaoxi noticed his actions and when he looked over, Pei Yan took out a very flat small box from under the table.
The box can barely hold a few sheets of writing paper.
"open to take a look."
The box slides open and the lid is easy to open.
As expected, there was only room for a small thing inside, like a piece of silk cloth.
Gu Chaoxi reached out and took it out, shook it off, and frowned slightly.
It is a light pink bellyband for girls.
"This?" Qin Wei touched his chin, somewhat confused.
Who is this person? Why did he hide the girl's bellyband here?
I always feel that this person would even take out this bellyband and sniff it when he was recording Zhao Yuer's life.
"We still need to find out what that key does."
After Gu Chaoxi finished speaking, he was already walking towards the passage with a candle in his hand: "Staying here for too long will only waste time and you won't be able to find any other clues."
Perhaps, this is itself a theme easter egg content.
So everyone walked outside through the passage again.
Shen Yao, who was walking at the end, blew out all the candles in the room before catching up with the team and walking forward.
By the time they returned to the ancestral hall, they had already been engaged in this topic for more than two hours.
Gu Chaoxi stared at the tablets on the altar, his eyes somewhat gloomy.
These tablets appear to be wiped carefully every day, and almost every one of them looks very clean.
Her eyes scanned each tablet, finally stopping on one of the ones in the bottom row.
Is this tablet too clean?
Gu Chaoxi even felt that this tablet was often held in people's hands, so the lower right corner appeared particularly bright.
She moved closer, raised her hand and slowly took the tablet down from above.
I raised it a little higher and tilted my head to look downward. There was indeed a small gap under the tablet, and it seemed that something was stuffed inside.
She reached out and was barely able to grab a little of the stuff inside, and it took her several attempts to pull it out.
A small piece of silk cloth with something written on it.
"What is this?"
Qin Wei was a little helpless about finding such strange things in small places many times. These clues were hidden too obscurely.
"A suicide note, or a love letter."
After all, what was written here was about Zhao Yuer, but between the lines it felt like this person predicted that he would die in the near future.
"Oh, he wrote on it, Yu'er, even though my life is gone, I will always be the one who loves you the most in this world."
"That's probably the gist of it. It's written in a very literary way."
Qin Wei rolled her eyes after reading it.
But soon, she noticed the signature, which read "Zhao Xingxu".
"This person's surname is also Zhao."
After she sighed, she quickly looked towards the last row of tablets on the altar. If the tablets in this row were all people of the same generation as Zhao Yuer, then this Zhao Xingxu must be Zhao Yuer's older brother, right?
Gu Chaoxi frowned. The tablet in her hand also had Zhao Xingxu's name written on it.
No one could think of anything for a moment.
Gu Chaoxi was silent for a while, then thought of the bride hanging in the room and pursed his lips.
"I think we still have to look for clues from the wooden bride and the real bride."
"I agree." Qin Wei raised his hand.
The few of them looked at each other, and obviously felt the same way, so they turned back and went to the real bride's room.
When everyone came in, they felt a gust of wind blowing from the bed towards the door, bringing with it a slightly stuffy smell.
When Gu Chaoxi and the others went out earlier, they had let the curtain down, but now, the curtain was lifted up, and the bride hanging inside was looking at the door with her head tilted.
This really made everyone who entered the room feel a chill down their spine.
But soon, they calmed down.
"It's okay, it's okay, there shouldn't be any big problems."
Qin Wei patted his chest and comforted himself. The main reason was that the sight of the bride being hung up was really a bit weird.
"Let's look for anything hidden elsewhere in the house first, and then deal with the bride."
After Pei Yan finished speaking, everyone started looking around the house.
Gu Chaoxi's gaze was always on the bride. Even now, when everyone else was searching the house, the bride's head was still facing the door.
Logically speaking, they didn't do anything to trigger any changes in the bride, right?
Why did her movements change?
Afterwards, Gu Chaoxi's gaze fell on the position in front of the bed, where the pair of embroidered shoes were placed.
"Ayan, the position of the embroidered shoes has changed."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved towards Pei Yan.
Hearing her voice, Pei Yan immediately walked over here and looked at the embroidered shoes on the ground.
Just as Gu Chaoxi said, the position of the embroidered shoes had indeed changed.
At first, the embroidered shoes were placed tilted in front of the bed, but the toes were facing outwards. Now the toes are facing inwards.
This feeling is like a person getting out of bed, putting on his shoes and walking out, then coming back a moment later, taking off his shoes and getting back on the bed.
Could it be that the bride just went out?
When this thought came up, Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan looked at each other almost at the same time, and then both of them looked towards the bride.
This glance was not a big deal, but it made both of them gasp at the same time and almost scream out loud.
The hanging bride's head was facing the two of them, her eyes were wide open, a strange smile was stretched at the corner of her mouth, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
