The groom, the groom's younger sister, and the best man arrived.
This had not been part of Yin Ge's plan. What she had originally wanted most was to exchange Godhead information with the others as soon as possible and find the Killer.
But now, Yin Ge could not move freely and could only follow the bridesmaid through everything that had happened on December 7.
Of course, that was not necessarily a bad thing.
Yin Ge recalled the discussion she had had with everyone earlier. In summary, there were only two ways to find clues about the Killer.
First, the Godheads.
Second, the events.
Although her body was currently under someone else's control and she could not exchange Godhead information with the others for the time being, she could observe what the bridesmaid went through and gather information from it in search of clues.
With that in mind, Yin Ge focused her attention and began observing the bridesmaid and everyone else's actions.
The bride attached great importance to the groom and the others' arrival, pulling the bridesmaid out early to buy groceries and cook.
What puzzled Yin Ge was that throughout the process, the bride's father showed no interest whatsoever. He was extremely distant, as though the one getting married was not his own daughter.
The bride's mother and younger brother, on the other hand, were very affectionate toward the bride and warmly welcomed the groom at the dinner table.
Could there be a conflict between the bride's father and the bride?
Perhaps the bride's father was suspicious.
Yin Ge silently noted that detail.
After the meal, the bride's father and mother took the child into a room for an afternoon nap, while the other young people stayed behind to discuss the wedding arrangements.
Just as the conversation was getting lively, the door to the bride's parents' room cracked open.
The child's head poked out from inside, curiously studying the people outside.
The groom smiled and beckoned to the child. The child immediately ran to his side and pitifully tugged at his arm.
"Brother-in-law, I want to play games some more."
The groom immediately took out his phone. After taking a look, he said with slight helplessness, "You've already played all morning. My phone's out of battery."
"Mine's dead too." The best man raised his phone. "You little brat, fine, you used your brother-in-law's phone to play games, but why were you watching videos on my phone while you played?"
"You're way too addicted to your phone. Your parents are right not to buy you one!"
"Hmph!" The child puffed out their cheeks angrily.
The bride stroked the child's head, then familiarly took the groom's and best man's phones. "I'll go charge them for you."
The child grabbed the bride's sheer hem. "Sis, I want to play!"
Unable to refuse the child, the bride handed over her own phone, not forgetting to remind them:
"Play less. It's bad for your eyes, and if Dad sees you playing games later, he'll scold me again."
The child nodded vigorously, then took the bride's phone and began playing.
Before long, the bride went into the bathroom.
Taking the opportunity, Yin Ge began carefully studying the others.
The groom was refined and gentle, speaking in a soft voice.
The groom's younger sister was lively and cheerful, though somewhat spoiled.
The best man loved bragging and often flirted with the bridesmaid.
Clearly, these people's personalities were vastly different from those of the neighbors Yin Ge had encountered before.
Evening soon arrived, and the bride's mother was cooking in the kitchen.
The bride, meanwhile, was assigning rooms to everyone.
Since they would be going out tomorrow to buy wedding supplies, and the groom's home was quite far away, going back and forth would be too troublesome. So they planned to stay at the bride's home for the night.
Fortunately, the bride's home was large enough to accommodate everyone.
The groom's younger sister pointed at the room where the bridesmaid was staying. "Come on, sister-in-law, I want this room. The Wi-Fi signal is strong here."
She was on good terms with the bride. As she spoke, she linked arms with her and pouted coquettishly.
"No!" the bride said quickly. "That room is a mess. How could I let you stay there? I've already cleaned up another room for you. Come on."
As she spoke, the bride grabbed the groom's younger sister's hand and tried to lead her away.
"Hmph!" The groom's younger sister merely snorted and remained where she was. "Sister-in-law, why are you nicer to an outsider than you are to me?"
"I don't care. Haven't I always stayed here whenever I came over? I'm used to it."
The bridesmaid crossed her arms. "I've been staying in this room for days, so I'm used to it too. You don't mind staying with me, but I mind staying with you. I'm not moving."
Yin Ge sensed a hint of gunpowder in their exchange.
Logically, even if they were not close, they should at least have maintained a decent appearance.
Still, what the groom's younger sister said was indeed unpleasant.
Just as the bride was about to persuade the groom's younger sister again, the groom stepped forward. In a stern tone, he said to his sister, "Enough. Isn't a room just a room? Come on, I'll show you the new one."
With that, the groom pulled his sister away.
Seeing this, the bride glanced at the bridesmaid before following them.
It was only a minor incident. The bridesmaid seemed not to take it to heart, but Yin Ge could not shake the feeling that something was off.
Before she could figure out why, everyone had already been assigned their rooms.
The bride went into the kitchen to help, while everyone else sat around the sofa chatting.
The child, who had spent the entire afternoon playing games, held up the phone and tugged on the groom's sleeve. "Brother-in-law, this game is broken. I can't beat it! Help me for a bit. I need to pee, I can't hold it anymore!"
The child had no time to say more and rushed toward the bathroom.
The groom accepted the phone with a smile. "You little dummy, I'll help you."
Seeing this, Yin Ge could not help confirming something else.
At the very least, the groom and bride had not been in conflict.
Before discovering the groom's motive, the greatest suspicion still lay with the others.
After all, if the groom wanted to kill the bride, why wait until their wedding day? Why get married at all?
Wouldn't that ruin his own life?
Of course, plenty of people killed their wives after marriage, so Yin Ge did not rule him out directly.
Just then, however, a notification sound suddenly rang out.
Everyone continued doing what they had been doing, including the bridesmaid.
But Yin Ge still tried her best to look over through the corner of the bridesmaid's eye, unwilling to miss any detail.
The sound had come from the phone in the groom's hand.
It was the bride's phone.
The moment the groom saw the message, his previously pleasant expression changed instantly.
His brows pressed down and drew together, his lips tightly pursed. It was an expression of furious rage!
And when his younger sister, seated beside him, saw the message, her eyes widened and her mouth fell slightly open. It was an expression of shock.
Then the groom abruptly rose from the sofa, took the phone into the kitchen, and called the bride into the room in a low voice.
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
Before long, fierce arguing and the bride's sobs could be heard from inside.
Everyone was startled and stared at the room in unison.
The child's lips trembled before tears began to fall. "Waaah, Brother-in-law stole my phone! Brother-in-law is so shameless!"
The bride's mother hurriedly comforted the child in a low voice.
Seeing that something was wrong, the bridesmaid quickly turned to the groom's younger sister and asked, "What's going on?"
The groom's younger sister's lips trembled. "Just now... someone sent my sister-in-law a message!"
Yin Ge's heart rose into her throat. She felt that message was critically important.
But just as the groom's younger sister was about to speak, every light in the living room suddenly went out.
That familiar feeling... Yin Ge's pupils contracted slightly.
The next moment, the lights came back on.
Yin Ge immediately looked at the clock. The hour hand pointed precisely at the number six.
It was six in the evening.
She let out a faint breath of relief and flexed her fingers. Sure enough, they moved under her control.
Yin Ge keenly summarized the pattern behind control of the body.
At nine in the morning, she could not control her body.
At six in the evening, she could control it herself.
Bang!
Before anyone else could react, the bride's bedroom door flew open, and the groom rushed out with terror written across his face.
He panted heavily, fine beads of sweat covering his forehead.
But everyone was staring intently at the bride's room, and their attention was not on him at all.
Fortunately, the bride did not rush out of the room.
Just like yesterday, after Yin Ge and the others regained control of their bodies, the bride vanished, leaving only the seven of them in the room again.
The bride's mother and the groom's younger sister collapsed onto the sofa one after another, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
The child moved closer to Yin Ge's side and began crying.
Suppressing the tension and fear in her heart, Yin Ge looked at the groom with a piercing gaze.
"What did you see on the phone just now!?"
