"Wait a minute, Guo Kun is still right next to you. If you get scared, it'll be a bit difficult to catch him again." Li Lianxin deftly twirled the gun in her hand, then tucked it into her sleeve. The rope used for the net wasn't the thick kind.
If they struggle a little harder, this thing won't last long.
After ensuring Li Lianhua was steady, Di Feisheng stepped forward to help subdue Guo Kun, allowing Fang Duobing to emerge from inside. "You're really something," Fang Duobing said, giving Li Lianxin a thumbs up. After so many times, he understood what this thing meant; it was quite interesting.
"Second Uncle?"
"Second brother?"
Just then, Guo Gan and Guo Huo arrived at the same time, accompanied by several servants. They were surprised to see them and the subdued Guo Kun, and were even more furious when they saw that Li Lianhua was wearing the wedding dress passed down from their ancestors.
However, this was something we had anticipated beforehand. After all, from the very beginning when we arranged for them to stay, we had already figured out that these detectives from the Hyakusawa Institute wouldn't just stay quietly in their rooms doing nothing; that's not the Hyakusawa Institute's style.
"What's going on here?" Guo Gan could only utter these words as he looked at the scene before him. Seeing Guo Kun still grinning foolishly, he knew his illness had flared up again.
Fang Duobing looked at them angrily and said, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? Why did you, Master Guo, suddenly appear behind us in the middle of the night carrying this skull?"
"You launched a sneak attack when no one was looking. Could it be that you conspired to harm us and cover up the truth behind the series of murders at your Cailian Manor?"
"Young Master Fang, is there some misunderstanding? My second uncle does know some martial arts, but he would never have any ill intentions towards anyone. Our Cailian Manor would never have any intention of harming you." Upon hearing this, Guo Huo's legs immediately went weak, and he hurriedly tried to explain.
Just then, with Li Lianxin's help, Li Lianhua managed to remove the headdress from her head. It was so heavy that if she stayed any longer, she might accidentally fall off and get seriously injured.
Li Lianxin held the crown and then put it on the ground.
"Master Guo, this house across the street. I heard it's for brides who are going to marry far away. Because of the long journey, the bride will move in beforehand, is that right?" Li Lianhua asked Guo Gan, adjusting her sleeves.
Guo Gan's gaze shifted slightly in the direction he was referring to. "So what if it is? This has always been the way of the Zhao clan."
"Then why aren't there any mirrors in the room?"
This wasn't Guo Gan's answer. Guo Huo, standing behind him, explained, "A feng shui master came to see this room before and said that it was not suitable to place a mirror there, so we didn't put any mirrors in it."
[These are all excuses. Ultimately, it's all because they don't value this girl. With so many rooms in Cailian Manor, why should the bride be placed in a location with bad feng shui? Of the entire family, only Guo Kun is a good person.]
"There's a protruding rock here, and a row of Shoushan stone decorations by the lake. Could this also be due to feng shui?"
Because of Guo Kun, he paid special attention to the shoreline at that time, and it was really strange that those protruding rocks appeared here.
"This is a downward trend, and the wealth and good fortune will flow away with the downward trend. Using Shoushan stone to block it and change the layout is perfectly normal. What exactly are you trying to say?" Guo Gan was unconvinced. Could there be anything wrong with the placement of the stone?
"Just now, I risked my life to reenact the deaths of the three brides. Although I didn't fall, I basically learned that since there are no mirrors in the room, the brides can only see themselves in their wedding dresses by coming to this mirror stone."
If you are startled at this moment, your center of gravity will be unstable due to fear. This place is downhill, and the skirt you are wearing is cumbersome and heavy. If you suddenly fall, the weight on you will make it difficult to get up again for a while.
Because it was downhill, the weight of the stone caused it to roll downwards, and the bride's fractures and other injuries were all caused by this Shoushan stone.
"Furthermore, if the bride falls into the pond, the weight of her wedding dress and headdress will cause her to sink continuously, making it impossible for her to call for help. Moreover, you didn't even arrange for any servants to guard outside the bride's room."
The bride was alone; she sank into the pool and drowned, only to be found in the pool the next day.
