192 BLOODY WEDDING PART 7 (1/2)

'Maybe I made a mistake,' she thought. 'Too much is going on recently. Maybe I'm just tired.'

She didn't think too much into it. She turned and gazed at the pond in a daze.

After a while, her cell phone chimed. She looked at the screen and saw Ge Chen's text. He was asking where she was and how long she would take.

She started to write a reply when she heard a footstep coming from the sealed house.

It was light footsteps but she could tell that someone was wearing a man's boots.

She turned around once again. Behind her was the room where the dead body of her fourth brother-in-law was found. The door to the balcony was open.

'I can swear that the door was closed a moment ago,' she thought.

She forgot to send the text and stood up. She carefully stepped to the direction of the balcony without making a sound.

Before she passed the railing, she took a brick from the ground and went inside.

'There is always a scene where the MC goes inside a haunted house and the door closes automatically. I can't let that happen in here,' while talking to herself in her mind, she put the brick on the doorway so that the door wouldn't automatically close.

It was evening and so the sun had gone down. She had to turn on the torch using the torch app on her mobile.

Everything was just like she saw before. She turned on the light and saw several footprints on the dusty floor.

Xue Lin frowned. 'Those police officers… are they trying to destroy the evidence or what?'

She went to other rooms. She didn't turn on the lights of those rooms because others might notice them from other houses.

She carefully walked so that she couldn't make a sound. She kept her five senses wide open so that she could see or hear or sense anything.

Although she wasn't scared or nervous, her heart was beating fast.

She could see that there was no one in the room but she had a feeling that someone was behind her and following her wherever she was going.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

She heard footsteps once again. It came from the second floor.

Xue Lin spoke in her mind, 'Ghosts don't create the sound of footsteps. It may be the killer trying to take the clue that can prove who the killer is.'

She hastily went upstairs and the stairs made a slight cracking noise. She looked at the dark corridor and pointed the torchlight.

She checked every room and found nothing.

Crack! Crack!

'The storeroom in the corner…' Xue Lin strode toward the storeroom that was situated in the corner. She opened the door abruptly and looked around.

There were also shoe prints. It matched the shoeprint of the killer; the exact same one.
