Chapter 21 Opportunity Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the castle.
However, this is not the main entrance of the castle, but a bush on the side.
Tian Li originally thought that the place where the glass slippers were hidden was extremely secluded and remote, but now she discovered that Lin Yanxue was actually leading her in a circle just now.
Their real destination is the castle.
At this time, the two of them were hiding behind a short Yanxue pointed to the partially hidden window above and motioned for her to climb up.
Although the path here is remote and sparsely visited, the path is straight and the view is unobstructed. Anyone passing by here has a high chance of being discovered.
The coming of darkness reduces this risk.
You go up first, I'll hold you up from below.
Lin Yanxue gestured to Tian Li.
The night breeze passed through the hall, but Tian Li felt a little chill down her stood up straight, and Lin Yanxue whispered in her ear: "I'm offended." Immediately afterwards, Tian Li felt a lightness under her feet, and her eyesight went up a lot.
The moment her fingertips touched the window, she quickly looked for a having a point of strength, she used all her strength to slowly pull her body up with her arms.
Ignoring the dust on her skirt, she quickly lowered her head, not forgetting the movement around that no one was coming, she dared to whisper to the snow in the forest below.
Tian Li stretched out her hand and pulled him up.
It wasn't until the other party came up that she relaxed and squeezed her arm, and secretly vowed to exercise more frequently when she had time.
Looking around, the room was pitch black, and there was even a thick layer of dusty smell.
In fact, Tian Li felt it when she touched the ashes just now. The temperature in the room was low and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.
There was no light in the room, and Tian Li's eyes seemed to be covered. Except for the vague outline of Lin Yanxue's figure around her, she couldn't see anything a little distance away from her.
Tian Li turned around and wanted to open the window behind her so that some moonlight could come soon as she put her hand on the edge of the window, Lin Yanxue stopped her and said, "Don't open it!"
Tian Li's hand paused.
"Close the window," he said.
Tian Li hesitated for a second and gently closed the window, leaving only a small crack.
Now she was frozen in place, not daring to move. She was completely invisible.
"Sorry, I forgot you couldn't see."
A rustling sound came from behind, and after a while, a faint light reflected on the Li looked back and saw that Lin Yanxue was holding something similar to a portable lamp in her hand. Although it was not very bright, it could illuminate a distance.
The firelight shone on his chiseled face, making his handsome features a bit softer.
Lin Yanxue said softly: "The light is not very bright. If you can't see, you can hold me."
Now is not the time to pay attention to the differences between men and Li no longer hesitated, she walked behind the other person and gently pulled the corner of his clothes.
Although a small lamp cannot shine farther, the firelight gives these dusty objects a vague outline.
The room is very large, and the decoration style is also based on the decoration of a noble's bedroom.
I just don’t know who the owner of this bedroom is.
"This is Cinderella's biological mother's room." Lin Yanxue said suddenly.
"How do you know?" Tian Li looked at his back.
"I went to see Cinderella a few days ago, and she told me. She said that this was originally her mother's room, but her stepmother, the current mistress of the castle, ordered this bedroom to be sealed. And drove her outside the castle. Only her father will take her in when he comes back." Tian Li sighed: "She is such a unpredictable mistress. Shen Linling is still locked up by her and has not been released. "
"By the way, what are you looking for."
She followed Lin Yanxue to explore different things in the house, watching him repeatedly groping for something on the walls or furnishings.
"Cinderella said that her father's secret room was in the castle and had more than one entrance, so she gave me the location of her mother's original room, which is here."
"I didn't expect you to come up with quite a lot of words." Tian Li asked.
It must have added a lot of deduction was what she didn't say.
The latter sentence was not said, but it sounded a bit Yanxue paused while checking, and then replied: "You can tell her if you ask her."
Tian Li focused her attention on Lin Yanxue's words, "The secret room has more than one entrance."Since Cinderella's mother is the wife of a wealthy businessman, based on the idea of husband and wife becoming one, there is a high probability that the entrance to the secret room will be set up in the wife's bedroom.
After searching for a long time, there was really no clue. Tian Li asked casually, "If it were you, where would you set it up?"
Lin Yanxue thought, "If I love my wife very much, I will set the mechanism in a place where our memories exist."
"Look at the things here, do you feel that there are a lot of things missing?" Tian Li pointed at the large sandalwood cabinet next to her. There was a layer of black dust on each cabinet.
But the sandalwood cabinet was almost to the financial resources of a wealthy businessman, it is impossible for him to buy such a large cabinet if he is not full of things.
With Tian Li's reminder, Lin Yanxue also began to think about the situation during the investigation just now.
He was just blindly groping for the only remaining things, intending to find the mechanism in a hidden corner, but there were so many things in the house, and even the wall above his head might be a clue. Searching for it this way was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. .
"A lot of things here must have been taken away by others. In order to cover up others' eyes, they were sealed up." Tian Li continued.
"To put it another way, do you think the current mistress of the castle hates Cinderella more, or does she hate Cinderella's mother more?"
"You mean?" The snow on the forest eaves suddenly opened.
The current hostess hates Cinderella's mother. She not only takes possession of Cinderella's biological mother's things, but also bullies her daughter.
Love the house and the crow, hate the house and the is just an implicated object.
"Could the entrance be in something Cinderella left behind?"
Tian Li said softly "Hmm".
After having a clue, the two people's goals were obviously much many things were taken away from the house, and the two quickly focused on a few things about Cinderella.
Unexpectedly, there are indeed some things about Cinderella in this example, a worn-out bear doll, a yellowed mural hanging on the wall, or some clothes worn by girls in the box.
A mural with traces of stains caught Tian Li's mural depicts a girl in a skirt. The girl on the mural has dazzling blond hair and a bright and charming smile.
Although the girl was probably only a few years old, Tian Li recognized the girl in the painting as Cinderella at a glance.
Tian Li said to Lin Yanxue, "Take the lamp closer and have a look."
Lin Yanxue brought the lamp close to the mural.
The area next to the painting was stained with traces of red liquid.
He asked uncertainly, "Is this blood?"
