Hearing her words, Embroidered Shoes slowly walked over to an ash and drew a check mark on the dust with the tip of her shoe.

Everyone was quite surprised to see this scene, Xia Mo couldn't help hugging his shoulders: "How do I look at it, how do I think this scene is strange, a few of us big people are actually talking to a pair of embroidered shoes, I'm afraid no one will believe it, right?" ”

Jiajia heard it and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Who said we were talking to a pair of shoes?" Maybe it's just that you can't see the owner of the shoe, otherwise how could an ordinary pair of embroidered shoes move so far on its own? ”

After she finished speaking, Xia Mo's face became even paler: "Really? Don't scare me. ”

The two turned their heads after the quarrel, only to see Wei Nanyu talking to the shoes in a serious manner: "We have entered the ancestral hall according to your request, should this dagger also be taken back?" If you let us help you find something, the more people you should have, right? ”

Everyone was quite nervous, but they didn't expect that the dagger really fell to the ground after Wei Nanyu said this.

"Let's go," Wei Nanyu rubbed his somewhat stiff neck and shoulders, "Isn't the wall collapsing?" Let's just flip over. ”

After everyone turned into the courtyard, they began to move separately, hoping to find more clues in the shortest possible time. Everyone focused on the almost complete room, and Wei Nanyu took Gu Qi to the room where she found Geng Ti.

When she entered, she found that the whole room had burned down except for the brick bed, and the rest of the room was in ashes.

"Don't you notice something strange about this room?" Wei Nanyu looked for it and felt a chill in his back, "I always feel like something in this room has been staring at us." ”

"I also noticed that this feeling of being watched appeared as soon as I entered the house."

Gu Qi and the two developed quite accurate intuition in the continuous games, they searched against this uncomfortable feeling, and finally found a few bricks that were a little loose under the bed, and after taking the bricks away, a box appeared in front of the two.

When Gu Qi dragged the box out, he found that the lock had been screwed by someone.

"The box has been opened," he said, setting aside the broken lock, "but I don't know if the clues inside have been touched, or if there are any clues." ”

When the two of them opened the box together, they found that there were many well-preserved newspapers neatly placed inside, and there was no damage except for the yellowing of the paper.

Wei Nanyu's gaze fell on the upper right corner of the newspaper and exclaimed: "How is it the seventeenth year of the Republic of China?" That's 1928? It's the 21st century now, how did this newspaper come to be at that time? Or is the time in the game just the era? ”

Gu Qi was also quite surprised when he saw the newspaper: "Put the date aside, let's see what is written on it first." ”

The two looked down and picked up a newspaper and found an article on the front page headline titled "Bloody tragedies happen from time to time, most of the victims are young women, who is the murderer?" The article recorded several tragic incidents in the town one after another.

It records that a woman went out late at night to visit because her family was sick, but she did not arrive at the hospital the next morning, and later found one of the woman's shoes on her way to the hospital, and countless people searched for a long time without any trace.

It wasn't until a few months later that a swollen body was found in the river, and after a difficult identification by the family, it was finally determined that it was the woman.

At the end of the article, the mayor also published a message in which he called on the young women of the town to stay out for a while, as long as they did not catch the murderer, they were always in danger.

Gu Qi flipped through a few more newspapers and found that the content of the articles was similar: "These newspapers have published so many details of the tragedy, why are there still so many young women who are victimized?" ”

Wei Nanyu sighed: "People always have all kinds of reasons to go out, they can't help but live, right?" Keeping them in town is only a stopgap measure, and only by catching the killer can the crisis be completely resolved. ”

As the newspapers were taken out of the box, a pale gold pocket watch appeared in front of the two, Wei Nanyu opened the pocket watch and found that the hands had failed, and the dial had cracked several lines due to the impact.

There is a small black-and-white photo in the pocket watch, the person in the photo is the appearance of a schoolgirl, she is wearing a popular student uniform during the Republic of China, two long braids on her shoulders, and a faint smile on her face, as if she was very happy when she took this photo.

"I don't know who put this photo here," Wei Nanyu looked at the photo again and again, "Could it be that this is the bride that the groom was looking for before?" Gu Qi, didn't you see the ghost bride in that room before? Is she different from the photo? ”

Gu Qi frowned and stared at the photo for a long time, and shook his head a little uncertainly: "At that time, it was too dark in the room, and she was wearing a red hijab all the time, I only saw the lower half of her face when she turned around, and it felt like the photo, but there was no way to be sure." ”

Wei Nanyu handed him the pocket watch: "You take it first, and we'll take a closer look when we have time later, and take a look at other articles in the newspaper first, right?" Maybe there will be some clues in it, too. ”

Just when the two of them were about to take a closer look, there was a terrible scream in the courtyard, Gu Qi and the two glanced at each other, and immediately put down the things in their hands and ran to the courtyard, just in time to meet Xia Mo and the others who came over.

Li Lin walked to Gu Qi's side: "Did you also come out after hearing the scream?" Did you find anything? ”

Gu Qi shook his head: "When we came out with you, it didn't take more than three seconds before and after, and it has always been like this in the courtyard, and we didn't find any suspicious people at all, let alone the source of the screams." ”

Everyone searched carefully in the courtyard without any clues, and just as they were about to enter the house, Jiajia pointed to a tree in the courtyard and exclaimed, "Didn't the fire burn the whole village?" Why is this tree still here? You see, there is a bright red wedding dress on the branch. ”

Wang Yihan and Li Lin's faces were a little unsightly: "I remember that there was no tree in the yard when we came in together, could it have appeared out of thin air when we entered the house?" ”

Before everyone could figure out why the tree appeared, many round white copper coins and even bloody banknotes were falling from the roof like snow in the sky.

Gu Qi picked up the one that fell on his shoulder and looked at it carefully, and found that these blood stains had gradually turned brown due to too much time, but some of them remained bright red, and the smell of blood could even be faintly smelled in the air.

"Who are these banknotes honoring?" Jiajia looked at the sky and muttered, "How can such an unlucky thing appear on the day of marriage?" ”

"Maybe it can tell us the answer," Wei Nanyu pointed to the door, "those embroidered shoes don't seem to be able to get in, it's pacing back and forth by the wall, see?" ”
