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

Chapter 473 Broken Family Photo

For some reason, Gu Chaoxi suddenly thought of the headless wooden bride in the first theme.

But it was only for a moment.

Qin Wei came to her senses and looked at the fake head that had fallen to the ground.

Now I can only see the side of the head that is covered by the hair, and I can't see the front.

But the scene she just saw seemed to linger in her mind. She took a step back awkwardly and stood still.

Seeing that she was now standing firmly, Shen Yao squatted down with the kerosene lamp in his hand and reached out to the fake head.

The wig fell off the big white paper ball and became a mess.

He lowered his eyes to look at the white paper ball, which was wrinkled on the back.

Turn the paper ball over and you can see the front side of it.

The eye sockets and mouth are drawn with black lines, which form the arc of a smile.

Then, there was the little red in the eye sockets.

This feeling seemed to pull Gu Chaoxi back to Longan County in an instant.

There was a sudden storm in her heart, but it calmed down in the next moment. She turned her head and saw Pei Yan holding her palm.

She curled the corners of her lips and pinched it gently with her fingertips, indicating to Pei Yan that she was fine.

After checking, Shen Yao stood up from the ground. There was nothing on the fake head. It was just used to scare people.

As for why a fake head was placed in the woods to scare people, no one understood.

"It's okay, let's keep going."

Shen Yao covered the fake head with the wig again and placed it next to the tree roots.

The wig spread out, completely covering the face on the paper ball, making it not so scary anymore.

Several people looked at each other and continued walking forward.

Just when the tree trunks were getting closer and closer and I thought there was no way ahead, the road suddenly became wider after I went around a thick tree trunk.

Everyone picked up the kerosene lamps in their hands and could see the environment ahead clearly.

This is already close to the edge of the second theme, and the wall next to it is built to look like rock.

There was a thick tree trunk next to it with a rope tied to it, and something like tarpaulin was draped over the rope.

This is a simply built tent.

Pei Yan walked in front, reached out and lifted up part of the oilproof cloth, and saw the scene hidden underneath.

There was a mattress inside, with a quilt on top. One corner of the quilt was lifted up, and it was a little wrinkled in the middle, as if someone had been lying on it.

Next to the bedding were some simple cooking utensils and a pot.

But the pot looked like it had been through a lot.

At the end of the quilt, there was a very dirty backpack, which barely showed that it was originally army green.

Apart from this, there was nothing else in the tent.

"How come there is nothing left?"

Everyone just stood outside the tent and watched, and no one dared to go in.

Gu Zhaoxi stared inside for a while, then turned around and looked around: "Why is there no one here? Who lives inside? Is it the male owner of that house?"

Pei Yan raised his hand and touched his chin, then walked inside.

"I'll go in and take a look."

He bent down and went in, squatting on the ground and moving forward slowly.

The tent itself is not big, and the tarpaulin is placed on top of the ropes, so the space above is very cramped.

He squatted and took two steps forward, then knelt on the bedding.

Then, Pei Yan's hands began to grope on the bedding.

When he knelt down just now, he just put the kerosene lamp on the ground without holding it in his hand.

Now he was crawling forward again, supporting his upper body with his left hand, and pressing and groping on the quilt with his right hand.

It was not until his palm was close to the edge of the quilt that Pei Yan felt something under the quilt.

He reached under the quilt and pulled out the object he felt. It was a photo frame.

After taking two steps back, Pei Yan moved back to the door of the tent.

He reached out and picked up the kerosene lamp, and at the same time extended the hand holding the photo frame forward.

Gu Chaoxi stretched out his hand holding the kerosene lamp, and the light shone right onto the photo frame.

It was the same photo as the family portrait on the second floor, except that the photo on top was torn and then pasted together.

The damaged part is right between the man and the girl in the middle. It is obvious that the photo was once torn into pieces but then glued together again.

It seems that the relationship between this family is not as good as it looks in the photo.

"The relationship between them broke down?"

This is what Qi Chuzhao said when he looked down and saw the photo.

Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi did not refute, but just nodded.

After a long time, both of them stood up from the ground.

Looking back, Gu Chaoxi looked at the tent. The rope hanging the tent, which was wrapped around the tree trunk, seemed to have grown some moss.

"It seems that their family has been broken up for a long time. However, this man can't let go of his wife and daughter, so he has been living like this not far away."

"They probably make a living by logging. This is clear from the tools in the cabin and the piles of tree trunks we saw when we first arrived."

This is Gu Chaoxi's speculation.

Pei Yan did not refute.

However, Shen Lan thought of a new question: "Doesn't he know that his wife and daughter are dead?"

Yes, that is indeed a good question. Didn’t this man know that his wife and daughter were dead?

Qin Wei tilted his head: "Is it impossible for this man to kill his wife and daughter?"

When they explored the wooden house just now, they did not find many signs of life inside.

Apart from the bodies of the wife and daughter, there was nothing else in the house, although the fireplace was burning.

Gu Chaoxi raised his head and suddenly saw the body of the woman under the bed. Her hands were pushing and hitting upwards.

so......

"We still need to find a closed space, and the preliminary judgment is that it is a coffin."

"Someone must have wanted to put the woman in the coffin. Maybe they didn't really want to kill her at first, but just wanted to teach her a lesson."

This conclusion was drawn because of the tools in the house.

If there is only a family of three here, then the only one who has enough power to put the woman in a closed space is her husband.

There are so many tools in the house. If you really want to kill a woman, any one of them would be enough.

Unfortunately, the woman died of suffocation.

Therefore, the other party’s original intention was not to kill people.

Thinking in this way, the bandage on the little girl’s arm can be understood.

Her father, her mother's husband, would hurt her and her daughter, even physically assault them, and they had no way to escape.

What happened that made the father unable to control himself and kill someone?

"The disappeared father?" Gu Chaoxi touched his chin, his eyes dark.
