Chapter 73: The Burned Diary
Wei Nanyu had already learned about Xu Qianyi's behavior before from Gu Qi, and when the two of them were in danger, Xu Qianyi's approach was completely different from Lan Manhan's, and he had been actively thinking of various ways to get out of the predicament.
"Let's help him to the table first, we can't stay at the door like this."
The two of them worked together to help Xu Qianyi to the dining table and let him sit down next to Lan Manhan.
"Answer me a question," Gu Qi clasped his hands in front of him, "Your boyfriend shouldn't need us to take care of him, right?" ”
Lan Manhan nodded a little scared: "No, I'll take care of him, thank you." ”
"Stop, it's better for you to say less of these two words in the future, we can't afford it." Wei Nanyu choked back mercilessly.
Lan Manhan's lips pursed into a slit when he heard this, and he sat beside Xu Qianyi without saying a word and lowered his head, making it impossible to see her eyes clearly.
Wei Nanyu picked up two pieces of bread from the dining table and handed one of them to Gu Qi: "Eat something to cushion your stomach, and then let's go around to see if we can find some clues, we will be alone." ”
The first place she went to after she finished speaking was the door, and she wanted to know where the tooth marks on Xu Qianyi's hand came from, but she didn't find any blood on the doorknob. She could only stick her whole body on the wall, and use the most primitive method to check the past inch by inch, and it turned out that she really found something unusual.
"There seems to be a word here?" Wei Nanyu's gaze fell on a small patch of dark red handwriting.
It was darker than the surrounding walls, but she didn't notice it at first because of the dim light, and it was only when the candle flame flickered not far away that she noticed something was wrong, and she hurriedly stuck to the wall, trying to make out what was written on it.
Gu Qi was about to rush over as soon as he heard her shout, but changed direction and came to the table when he saw her movements.
"What are you doing here? Wasn't it over there just now? ”
Lan Manhan looked at Gu Qi vigilantly, for fear that he would attack him again, but he just reached out for the lamp on the dining table and picked it up: "Can't I come over and get something?" ”
"What should I do if you take the lamp away? It's so dark that I can't see anything without lights. Lan Manhan stretched out his hand to stop him, but he was defeated little by little in Gu Qi's cold eyes.
"Why don't the two of us change it, I'll help you take care of Xu Qianyi, and you go for clues?"
Lan Manhan immediately shook his head into a rattle, and put his arm on Xu Qianyi's shoulder: "No need, I'll take care of Qianyi, you guys go and don't worry about me." ”
Gu Qi snorted coldly and left with the lamp, and after he walked away, Lan Manhan took out the backpack he had found before from the side of the chair and quietly put the light and easy-to-carry food into it.
"It's better to take away the lamp, so that no matter how much I take, you can't see, and what you eat when I see it......"
Gu Qi had already come to Wei Nanyi's side at this time, raised the lamp in his hand to illuminate her, and the two finally saw the handwriting on the wall clearly.
Wei Nanyu retracted his gaze: "0213? It looks like a room number, and this font is very similar to the door number when we rested on the second floor, but I remember that there was no room upstairs at all? ”
"Just because there wasn't before doesn't mean there won't be next," Gu Qi looked at the dim second floor, "Just go up and take a look." ”
"What should Xu Qianyi do?"
Halfway up the stairs between the two, the guard Nan Yu looked back at the dining table, Lan Manhan didn't know what he was doing, he kept holding a bulging backpack and was spinning around, and after a while, he moved Xu Qianyi, and seemed to really remember what the radio said in his heart.
"Since they're boyfriend and girlfriend, they should take care of each other, right?" Gu Qi said lightly, "We have already done our best to help him to the table." ”
"That's right."
After the two finished discussing, they quickly came to the second floor, followed the house number little by little, and actually found the [0213] room at the end of the corridor, but it was locked.
Wei Nanyu subconsciously stretched out his hand to check, but his hand was stopped by Gu Qi, and he stuffed the lamp into her hand: "I'll see if I can turn it on, you just hold the lamp." ”
After he finished speaking, he grabbed the rusty door lock and pulled it down, the imaginary sound did not appear, the door lock was still hanging there intact, Gu Qi was suddenly a little embarrassed: "I thought it could be opened, who knows......"
"Leave that one alone, look here."
Wei Nanyu raised the lamp to the side, and a dusty shelf appeared in front of the two of them, with many beautifully packaged books on it, but the outside was covered with thick dust, and it seemed that no one had touched it for a long time.
"The rest of this bookshelf is dusty, but the top shelf is very clean, someone should use it often, you take down all the books in that shelf and we'll look for clues."
Gu Qi did as he said, and when he took it down, he found that there was a letter sandwiched between the book, and the pattern on the envelope and the pattern on the wall were the same style, and they opened it only to find that it was actually a short diary.
"The two of us are finally together with everyone's blessings, and live happily in the castle, and my husband said that since I have been a princess since I was born, I will definitely enjoy the life of a princess after being with him."
"He is a man of his word, but because he is usually too busy, he can only let the servants take care of me, but every time he comes home, he prepares me with a large bouquet of roses, and the servants say that our life is the envy of everyone."
"But I later found out that it wasn't that simple, he seemed to be hiding some secrets from me, so I secretly followed him when he went out one time, and it turned out that he actually ......"
This is the end of the diary, the edges of the paper blackened, and it looks like someone has burned the key contents.
"Why did you stop here?" Wei Nanyu put the letter away with great regret, "In this way, the clue is broken again." ”
"Let's see if there are any other clues on the shelf, if not, just look down this floor slowly, and you can always find something different, just like we found numbers on the first floor, maybe there are clues hidden on the walls."
After the two discussed, they began to search carefully, but when they were halfway through the inspection, a low scream suddenly came from downstairs, and this voice did not belong to either Xu Qianyi and Lan Manhan.
Something went wrong. Gu Qi and Wei Nanyu glanced at each other and both understood these three words from each other's eyes.
Wei Nanyu pointed downstairs: "Go down and have a look?" ”
"The lights are here, let's go down with a light pace, and if the situation is not right, we will come back quickly."
After Gu Qi finished speaking, he picked up a wooden stick placed on the wall to defend himself, and the two walked down the stairs quietly.
