Zhong Xueran could find no evidence, but if she followed Qin Manjiang's line of reasoning, this was the only possible way to turn things around.
This was not a random murder, but a horror game that had been scripted in advance.
From the hint in the name "Wedding Dress," to Shen Hong appearing inside the tree trunk, to Liu Junyan being used to kill people all along.
Everything existed for a reason. Why was Shen Hong the one inside the tree trunk?
Why was Shen Hong's father, Shen Yi, the one who had died for good, rather than Liu Junyan?
Now it seemed... Shen Yi's death was more like a hint that Liu Junyan had not simply been spared.
Rather, he had his own place in this ritual.
Then, to reverse this ritual, they could only swap Shen Hong's and Liu Junyan's positions.
But Liu Junyan was already dead!
His body was in Wenshui District. Just transporting it here would take at least half an hour, even if they sped the whole way without any traffic jams or traffic lights.
If she set out from Old Town now, the round trip would take an hour.
A whole hour. Although Nie Yunzhen had said she would not die, once that wedding dress realized it could not kill her, it might switch targets.
What if that really happened?
Besides, Qin Manjiang's reasoning was not guaranteed to work. After all, the true path to survival was to subdue "Mr. Yan" while he was still human.
Yet through a series of mishaps, Mr. Yan had died.
They themselves had already cut off this ghost story's true path to survival.
The path to survival Qin Manjiang had now deduced was only theoretically feasible. There were no guarantees whatsoever about how to carry it out or
