Fortunately, there was no one here to disturb her, so Lin Mengya could search freely.
Long Tianhao couldn't bear to see her running around like a headless fly. He quickly pulled her back and asked in a low voice, "It's always faster to search with two people than one."
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Lin Mengya explained, "I suspect that the reason why the accident happened was that they wanted to add my name to the list without anyone knowing."
"I thought about it carefully just now and realized that the only person who had the chance to do it that day, and who would not leak the news afterwards, was the Chief Elder!"
The person who did it was the Chief Elder, and the person who was killed was also the Chief Elder.
Therefore, her name had become the choice of God in their mouth.
Of course, Lin Mengya didn't really believe in this so-called person chosen by God.
Especially this kind of person, there were too many places that could be tampered with.
Even if there was really a person chosen by God, she felt that no matter how mysterious the aboriginals were, they should not have chosen her, an outsider.
Moreover, she was the one who could single-handedly turn the aboriginals upside down.
Therefore, there was no basis for this matter at all!
Long Tianhao understood and nodded his head in agreement.
"So, you're looking for the evidence that the Chief Elder did not have time to dispose of?"
"That's right. It happened so suddenly, and the whole process happened under our noses. Therefore, if the Chief Elder wanted to do it, there were only a few opportunities. "
Lin Mengya whispered to her husband while looking for the evidence.
Long Tianyu was a master of scheming.
Although he appeared to be a simple-minded person in front of his wife, in the eyes of others, he was also a ruthless and black-hearted master.
He could roughly understand what Madam was looking for.
However, both of them were just guessing. Only after they found the evidence, could they be sure that the person who did it was the Chief Elder.
Long Tianhao stood at the place where the big colored ball was hung, and looked up.
Now, there were no festive colored balls there.
In fact, it was not a colored ball, but a small inverted tripod.
It was just to match the scenery, so it looked like a big colored ball, with a circle of colorful flowers as decoration.
Inside this small cauldron, there was a small mechanism that could be directly connected to the altar.
Therefore, when a small colored ball hopped into the interior of the small cauldron, the small mechanism inside would immediately activate. Then, the small cauldron would immediately stand up, and the small colored ball that fell from the inside would directly slide into the mechanism at the bottom.
It could be said that this process was full of randomness.
From the Great Elder's position, it was impossible for him to accurately throw the colored ball with Ya 'er's name on it.
Unless, he had the help of someone with profound inner force.
However, in that situation, everyone's attention was focused there. If someone had helped, at least the two of them definitely wouldn't have overlooked it.
So..,
How did they do it?
Lin Mengya was still searching.
Think about the entire process. The name list was mutually confirmed by Yue Zhengzixiu, Steward Chang, and Grand Elder before it was put in.
If the Great Elder were to be replaced midway, the other two might notice.
Therefore, at least the colored balls in the box should correspond to each other.
She also wondered if it was written in a special ink.
But soon, she rejected this idea.
Right now, the most important thing was not how her name was mixed in, but how they accurately locked onto her name.
After searching for a long time without any results, she fixed her eyes on the small cauldron.
She got up and walked to Long Tianhao.
"It should have been replaced. It seems that all the evidence has been erased."
Long Tianhao looked at her and said softly.
Lin Mengya pursed her lips.
Indeed, no matter who the person who designed this conspiracy was, it could only be said that the other party was really skillful.
Not only was the Great Elder, who might have been the witness, dead, but now, the small cauldron used that day as the material evidence was blown into pieces by the Flowing Fire in Broad Day.
Even if there was any evidence left behind, it would have long been burned by the high temperature of the explosion in such a narrow space.
Therefore, they might not be able to find any evidence this time.
The more Lin Mengya thought about it, the more indignant she became.
Her eyes swept back and forth on the small cauldron, and then, she suddenly turned around and ran to the altar.
"Madam, calm down!"
Long Tianhao followed closely behind her.
He thought that his wife was so angry that she wanted to smash the altar to vent her anger.
If it was a normal day, he would smash it. How could he not protect his wife?
But the current situation was more or less a little complicated.
He felt that it was not worth it to make the complicated situation more complicated just to vent her anger.
So, he stopped her.
Unfortunately, it was a little too late.
He saw his wife's little fist fall hard and hit the wall behind the altar.
This made Long Tianhao's heart ache.
He quickly held his wife's little hand in his palm and kept rubbing it.
"Let me do this kind of rough work in the future. My wife's hand is so precious, I can't …"
"Shh! Listen! "
However, Lin Mengya covered his mouth and listened attentively to the movements inside the wall.
Long Tianhao was also stunned.
The next moment, he heard something inside the wall, from far to near. It seemed that there was something constantly bumping and rolling inside the wall. Then, he heard a crisp "ding".
What they didn't know was that every time a candidate was chosen for the sacrificial ceremony, the little colored ball would make this sound when it hit the bell on the sacrificial platform.
Lin Mengya touched the altar and found a switch that could be opened and closed.
Then, she pressed it.
Suddenly, a small sandalwood box slowly rose up from the altar.
When they opened it, they found a small colored ball inside.
They opened it and found an unfamiliar name.
However, they were certain that the name on the colored ball was the one that had been chosen to be the sacrificial offering.
"This is what I'm looking for."
After Lin Mengya finished reading, she put the colored ball away.
Although there was an accident before, Yue Zhengzixiu and the others must have found all the colored balls after that.
In this way, her name could be chosen by heaven.
And if there was one more or one less, Yue Zhengzixiu and Steward Chang might not be able to get through first.
Then, they could only make the real chosen person "disappear".
"Oh, I didn't expect them to go through so much trouble."
Long Tianhao soon realized where the other party had tampered with.
Nimbly, he climbed up the altar, stood up and searched for a while before he found a loose piece of masonry that had been hidden.
Speaking of which, the colored ball was only the size of a fist.
If one did not look carefully, it would be hard to find.
And after taking out the colored ball, he also took out a thin shield.
It was very light and very tough.
After he came down, he handed the shield to Lin Mengya.
"I didn't expect it to be such a small thing."
Long Tianhao curled his lips and said with a faint smile.
Lin Mengya looked at the small shield from left to right.
Although it was already dry, there were some black stains on both sides.
She touched it with her hand and found that it was a little sticky.
This was probably the secret of changing the name.
Moreover, the other party was very careful. The shield was inserted in the middle. Not only would it not let anyone hear any unexpected sounds, but the two colored balls would also be like a relay. The one on top would hit the one on the bottom.
As for why the explosion did not knock down the two balls.
She carefully examined it again, only to find that the baffle was not complete.
It should be a small part that had broken off.
However, Lin Mengya looked at the shield and thought of the explosion that day.
She was lost in thought.
Long Tianhao seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly held her slender waist, turned around, and pulled her directly under the altar.
Although the altar was not high, it was more than enough for two people to squat down.
Soon, the two of them heard footsteps.
Those people must have come to avoid people.
"Hurry up, finish the work quickly, and then we can go and get the reward."
The person said in a low voice.
The couple, who were hiding under the altar, looked at each other.
Then they heard the people outside seemed to have stepped onto the altar.
But they did not have Long Tianhao's reach and height, so they had to use some other tools.
But they accurately found the loose wall brick.
"Eh? Why is it missing? "
Of course it was missing.
Because now the thing was in her hands.
One of them said anxiously, "Look again, why is it missing?"
The other person also checked it carefully, and said with some speculation, "Could it be that the movement was too big that day, so the thing was shaken down? It is so narrow here, maybe it is stuck somewhere? "
"Really?" His companion was a little doubtful.
"It should be so. You don't know how much effort I put into making that thing. Old Master said that we can't let anyone hear anything unusual. So I put a layer of paste on it. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have so many concerns. "
"Well, what's the use of saying this? Third Miss didn't become a priest, so our work is considered to have failed. You'd better quickly block the brick, in case someone finds out, and we will be in trouble! "
"Well, all right."
Under the altar, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao did not expect that there was an inside story!
The person who set up the trap was not the one who cooperated with Ya to frame her.
In fact, the two of them didn't even know that the ball they had reserved was not the same one from the beginning!
The two of them were also afraid of being discovered, so they worked quickly.
About ten minutes later, they also left, and Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao came out from under the altar.
