I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 314 Footsteps at Midnight

"Besides that, is there anything else?"

Qin Wei asked.

Zhao Zhiyan thought for a while before cautiously looking up at Qin Wei.

"The man also appeared to be holding a knife."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Xiangxiang beside him nervously grabbed his sleeve.

Shen Yao glanced at the two siblings and spoke in a low voice, only for Qin Wei to hear.

"They didn't lie."

In the morning, Shen Yao noticed that the people watching were not the three people from the Zhao family, which meant that they had no idea how Master Qin died.

What Zhao Zhiyan said was not much different from what they saw last night, so he was telling the truth.

But Qin Wei frowned, because Zhao Zhiyan was telling the truth, which made people feel even more confused.

If this person passed by everyone's room with a knife last night and finally killed Master Qin.

This means that this person has no idea where Master Qin’s real room is.

But if he thought so, then why did he have to kill Master Qin?

"Those two people?" Gu Chaoxi looked in one direction for a while, raised his hand and touched his chin, as if thinking about something.

But soon, her thoughts came back to her senses.

After talking to Qin Wei, the two of them went back immediately, worried that Mrs. Zhao might be frightened.

When Qin Wei turned around, Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan had already walked in front of her.

Before they could say anything, two heads popped out of the door.

It was Luo Yu and Luo Zhi.

The two of them were slightly older than the two Zhao siblings, but because they were not favored in the past, although they were dressed better, they were short and thin.

So judging from his appearance, he is smaller than the two siblings of the Zhao family.

But this is not what Gu Chaoxi cares about.

Seeing that the two seemed to have something to say, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and pointed at them.

"Sister, are these two looking for you?"

Qin Wei's identity in this plane is Miss Shen II, so there is nothing wrong with Gu Chaoxi calling her that.

The two seemed a little embarrassed, and when they saw Qin Wei turning around and looking at them, they actually took two steps back.

Gu Chaoxi just smiled and watched without doing anything.

Luo Zhi paused, as if he had finally thought it through, and took another step forward.

"Second Sister Shen, we actually saw it too."

The two of them heard clearly the conversation between the two Zhao siblings just now, but what happened last night was not as simple as just what they saw.

"What did you see too?" Qin Wei knew what the two were talking about, but he still asked again.

Luo Zhi thought for a moment and clenched his fists: "It was that strange figure, we also saw it."

Luo Yu beside him also nodded.

The two of them lived in the ancient Anning Temple for much longer than the two siblings of the Zhao family.

Last night, after the two had finished reciting the sutras and were preparing to go to bed, they saw a figure passing by outside in the dim candlelight.

Since the host once said that they were not allowed to go out at night, the two siblings could only lean against the wall and ask each other.

The answers they got were consistent, there was indeed a figure passing by outside.

At first, the two of them didn't even dare to move, for fear that people outside would notice that there were people here. After a long time, when there was no sound outside, Zhao Zhiyan thought of looking out the window.

But Zhao Xiangxiang stopped this from happening right next to him.

"Brother, don't go out and look, we should go to bed."

Fortunately, Zhao Xiangxiang was more cautious than Zhao Zhiyan, so Zhao Zhiyan did not rashly open the window to look outside.

Hearing this, Gu Zhaoxi turned his head and said, "You just said, wait until there is no sound outside?"

"Yes." Luo Zhi nodded.

Gu Chaoxi asked again: "What kind of sound is that?"

Luo Zhi tilted his head, seeming to be thinking seriously.

After a while, she raised her eyes and said, "That sound is like someone running quickly on the ground without proper shoes on... Yes, that's the sound."

She clenched her fist affirmatively and looked at Gu Chaoxi seriously.

Without saying anything, Gu Chaoxi just nodded and lowered his eyes.

This is a bit strange. The people on their side only saw a figure passing by but did not hear any sound.

Luo Zhi said that they heard footsteps, and based on the description, the person should be in a hurry.

If one judges the authenticity of a figure based on the sound of footsteps, then what Luo Zhi saw was the figure of the person who actually committed the crime.

What they saw was fake.

But what is the meaning of the fake human shadow?

To confuse people and make them think that this person doesn't know the exact location of Master Qin's room?

Then it can be assumed that the murderer is Qin Yi and Qin Mo, and perhaps they are the ones who committed the crime together.

"Can you tell where that sound is coming from and where it is going?"

Pei Yan, who had been silent just now, finally asked a question.

This question seemed to make Luo Zhi and Luo Yu feel a little embarrassed, and they even raised their hands to cover their foreheads.

Gu Chaoxi turned his head to look towards the side where Master Qin and his family lived. Although he couldn't see the first floor from the yard now, he could barely see the second floor.

Qin Mo was standing on the second floor at this time. He didn't know where his eyes were looking, and he supported himself on the railing with both hands.

She blinked and looked towards the residence next door where Mr. Qin used to live. The door was closed.

I guess no one will want to go into that room in the near future.

"It probably came from my room and went towards the stairs, but I'm not completely sure."

Luo Yu finished speaking hesitantly, and Luo Zhi nodded.

Their rooms, Luo Yu's was closer to the stairs, while Luo Zhi's was next to his.

"It seems that this murderer came prepared."

A fake human figure was created and shown to everyone, and then Master Qin was openly killed in the room.

"But we haven't been able to confirm yet whether he ran away from the yard because he succeeded, or because he had just started this plan and was putting on a show for everyone to see."

Pei Yan said this, raising his hand and patting Gu Chaoxi lightly on the back.

Obviously there are not many clues today. At least they have not figured out the cause of Mr. Qin's death.

No matter whether it was the Qin family themselves who killed Master Qin, or someone else who killed Master Qin.

After all, a motivation is needed.

"Maybe it's to escape." She raised her eyes, and suddenly something slipped through her mind.

"Why do you think so?" Qin Wei didn't quite understand.

"Ayan, do you remember the bloodstains in Master Qin's room?"

At that time, she only noticed the bloodstains everywhere, but now thinking about it, some of the bloodstains were clearly blocked.

Because the body was blocking the front, some of the blood went directly onto the murderer's body.

As a result, he really rushed downstairs at that time, just to use the water in the well to wipe the blood off his skin.
