Chapter 455 Strange Building Order

"Are you okay?" Pei Yan leaned towards her and asked her.

Gu Chaoxi shook her head. She was fine, except that she was frightened just now. However, she soon began to look at these upside-down corpses.

The bodies of these people were almost all tied up, with their hands behind their backs and tied tightly to their bodies.

The clothes they wore were not luxurious at all, and they looked like ordinary servants in this mansion.

Without exception, everyone's eyes were wide open, as if they had seen something incredible before they died.

Apart from the blood flowing from their eyes, there was no blood anywhere else.

These people were tied up with thick hemp ropes and fell on the beams.

This room looks more like a place to entertain guests.

Going around the large screen in the middle is the path leading to the back yard.

Qin Wei was suddenly stunned: "No wonder I felt strange just now, it turns out it's a problem with the order of the buildings."

"What?" Qi Chuzhao tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.

Qin Wei raised her hand and pointed at the large screen facing the door: "In theory, this is the front where guests are received. Going towards the back, it is considered the inner house."

"But, the two rooms we just entered were both bedrooms, and the wooden bride was also there, which means that we were in the inner house just now."

"In that case, isn't it strange that there is now another way for us to go to the inner house?"

After she finished speaking, Gu Chaoxi also felt a little strange.

If the one just mentioned is not included in the scope of the inner house, when building the haunted house, you can actually just build an exterior on both sides and not really set up an interior.

But no, the two rooms could even be considered well decorated.

Why set up the room in the front and put the bride there?

She looked up at the bodies hanging upside down, making sure they wouldn't suddenly fall down when she passed by. Then she quickened her pace and went around behind the screen.

After going around here, I saw the scene in the backyard.

There are houses on both sides and the house directly opposite.

There was nothing in the middle of the yard. Looking up, the eaves of the surrounding tiles extended forward, and the corners on both sides were connected together, like a patio.

The night is dark, so even if you look up, you can't see anything in the darkness.

"There are no stars. Apparently the weather is not good today."

Gu Chaoxi said this while putting herself in this environment, and then she began to look around.

In the corner on the left, there is an old willow tree. There are almost no leaves on the tree, only a few bare branches hanging down.

Looking to the right, there is a well with tools for drawing water on it.

The whole yard can almost be said to be extremely monotonous.

There were large bricks and stones in the middle of the yard. It was clean and tidy, with nothing placed on it.

It doesn't feel like a large mansion where people often come and go, but rather like a house that has been dilapidated for a while and has been renovated.

"Let's look at them separately. Perhaps we can find some clues about the theme here."

So, Qin Wei took Shen Lan and Su Zhaoran to see the house on the left, Shen Yao and Qi Chuzhao took Luo Zhen to the house on the right first, and Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan naturally went to the room opposite.

Qin Wei pushed the door open and walked in. It was a study.

There are bookshelves on both sides of the room, on which are placed some books and bamboo slips.

The space in the middle was covered with a large square carpet, and then there was a desk with some spread out rice paper on it and a brush next to it.

Next to the inkstone, there is a piece of ink.

Behind the desk, there was a huge calligraphy hanging on the wall, which read "God rewards hard work".

It seems that there are scholars in this mansion.

In addition to books, there are also some porcelain vases on the bookshelves on the left and right sides.

These porcelain bottles are scattered on the bookshelf. They are of different sizes, but without exception, the patterns on the outside are all related to plants, mostly plum blossoms and bamboo.

Qin Wei raised her hand and took down a vase and looked at it. It was in good condition and there were no scratches on it.

Did they really spend so much money on building this haunted house? Even such an insignificant prop was made of real stuff.

Su Zhaoran followed Shen Lan all the time, hardly daring to leave for a moment. Wherever Shen Lan went, she would follow.

It’s not that she didn’t think that Qin Wei and Gu Chaoxi were more powerful, but obviously, she had no chance to stick with those two people all the time. It would be better for her to join forces with Shen Lan for warmth.

Shen Lan picked up a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it. There was some content in it, but she couldn't quite understand it.

Then she handed the book back and took out another one and opened it, which still had handwriting on it.

“These books are all real, right?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Wei.

Obviously Qin Wei thought so too, so he didn't look over but nodded.

Shen Lan flipped through the books for a while but didn't find anything unusual, so he just gave up.

Seeing that Qin Wei was still studying several vases in the study, she couldn't help but reach out and take one to examine it carefully.

These vases are not only very well made, but also have inscriptions on the bottom.

She looked at it and thought it was probably the family's surname or something, but she couldn't quite recognize it.

"Weiwei, look at the words on the bottom. I don't recognize them."

After hearing this, Qin Wei lifted the vase to look at the bottom.

"Zhao Family." The engraved words roughly mean that this was something made personally by a former head of the Zhao family, so it has been passed down from generation to generation.

She raised her eyebrows, a little surprised. Did the head of the family know that his family would continue to be grand and prosperous?

But he didn't make a joke. He just put the vase down and looked at other things.

There was a piece of rice paper spread out on the desk with nothing written on it, but the brush lying beside it accidentally put a drop of ink on the upper right corner.

Qin Wei felt that the study should not be the main place.

But when building a haunted house, would they create a completely useless place?

But if every position has a function, then they didn’t find anything special in the yard in front just now.

Of course, except for the jade pendant.

Qin Wei touched the jade pendant in his pocket, said nothing, and began to scan the walls around the study.

Is there something like a dark room?

She wasn't sure and began to rub the wall. Or maybe, if there was a secret room, the mechanism for opening the door might be on the bookshelf.

After all, TV dramas like to be designed this way.

"Shen Lan, what is that?"

Although Su Zhaoran was a little scared, he couldn't help but pull Shen Lan's arm and raised his hand to point at the beam in the corner.

There is a protruding, black thing there.

In the leisurely candlelight, the edge of the thing seemed to emit a faint light.
