Chapter 21 Murder Reappears 1. The mysterious old man
After Wu Yu learned the truth about Su Wei's death from Xinluo, he guessed that the deaths of Su Wei and Su Wei might have been caused by the same murderer, and the most likely one was the mysterious woman who sent the letter. If it was the same murderer, what was his purpose?
Wu Yu turned on the lights at night and pondered over these two similar mysteries. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a woman's footsteps outside the door. He thought it was Yunyun and Niao Niao who came back, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But when he was at the door, the footsteps stopped abruptly. Wu Yu looked over suspiciously and saw a figure with long hair slowly floating back and forth outside the screen window. For a moment, Wu Yu felt a gloomy feeling.
Wu Yu thought he had seen a ghost and timidly shouted, "Who?"
The figure didn't answer, but the phone rang at this moment. Wu Yu was panicked and picked up the phone at a loss, but was shocked - there was no caller ID on the phone. Although Wu Yu was scared, he still answered the call while looking outside the door.
"Who is it?" Wu Yu stammered.
"It's me!" A ghostly girl's voice suddenly came from the other end.
"Who are you?"
"Don't you remember my voice?"
Wu Yu felt that the voice seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"What a heartless man! He even forgot about his wife whom he had just married."
Wu Yu reacted instantly when he heard this, and was so frightened that he even threw his phone to the ground. At the same time, Wu Yu realized that the voice was coming from the ghost outside the door, and he immediately felt terrified.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened slowly, and then with a whoosh, a chilling cold wind blew in. Wu Yu shivered and woke up.
Wu Yu looked at the room in shock and found himself dozing off in front of the lamp, his whole body covered in cold sweat. Wu Yu suddenly remembered the strangeness before Su Wei's death, and thought that if he often had such dreams, he would probably be like Su Wei soon. The more he thought about it, the more chilled he felt.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. Wu Yu recalled the call in his dream just now, and he felt a lingering fear. He hurriedly took it out and saw that it was Yunyun calling. Wu Yu answered timidly. Yunyun asked him if he had eaten dinner. Wu Yu hesitated and said that he had eaten. In fact, he had eaten outside with Xinluo. Yunyun said that she was still in school and would be back soon. Wu Yu nodded and hung up.
Wu Yu checked the time and it was already past eight o'clock.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, which seemed to be there and not there. Then a figure appeared outside the screen window and called out hoarsely, "Wu Yu, are you there?"
Wu Yu recognized the old man's voice and was startled. He quickly said, "Yes." Then he went over and opened the door for him.
The old man glanced at Wu Yu mysteriously, walked straight into the room, and sat down on the chair without saying a word.
Wu Yu closed the door, sat under the lamp, looked at the old man timidly and asked, "I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"
The old man remained silent. He looked up and looked around the room. Suddenly, sadness appeared on his face. He muttered to himself: "It's been so many years, but I still can't forget it..."
Wu Yu looked at him in surprise, unable to understand the meaning of his words for a moment.
"Are you scared living in this room?" The old man suddenly turned around and looked at Wu Yu.
Wu Yu felt a little numb at being looked at by him, and answered honestly, "A little bit."
"Really?" The old man sneered, and then continued, "Do you know that this room is where the legendary ghost bride Xinluo who turned into a fierce spirit lives?"
Wu Yu was puzzled and was about to ask, but the old man spoke first: "What are you going to do about your and Xinluo's matter?"
When he heard this, his whole body went limp and he was speechless for a long time.
"I hope you can make a decision between Yunyun and Xinluo as soon as possible. I don't want to see Xinluo sinking into love step by step."
Wu Yu nodded.
"You know what to do." The old man stood up and walked out the door. Suddenly he stopped, turned his back to him, and said viciously, "If you don't want to die strangely like Su Wei or Su Wei, I hope you can leave the old house as soon as possible and go back to Guangzhou."
When Wu Yu heard this, he was horrified.
After hearing the old man's last words before he left, he was even more frightened. He wondered if the old man knew who killed Su Wei and Su Wei, or... When Wu Yu thought that the murderer might be the old man, he felt cold all over. He thought about it carefully. Su Wei was in love with his granddaughter Mei Xin, and Mei Xin died of illness. Then Su Wei died mysteriously. Therefore, it is very likely that the old man killed Su Wei for his granddaughter. As for Su Wei, he looked weird as soon as he entered the ancient house. He came for the legendary blue and white porcelain, and he might know the truth about Su Wei's death. It is natural for the old man to kill him for this. After such reasoning, Wu Yu felt that the old man in front of him was the most suspicious. But from the mysterious letter, it seemed that it was sent by a woman, which seemed to have nothing to do with the old man. Wu Yu had a splitting headache and felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
In the evening, Yunyun came back wearing the red cheongsam. Wu Yu said to her in a tentative tone : "Yunyun, it seems that we have to leave the old house and return to Guangzhou. The company is urging us to go back."
"Are you willing to leave?" Yunyun suddenly glared at him.
Wu Yu was shocked and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean, so there's no need to talk about it."
Wu Yu was shocked. He understood that what Yunyun was talking about was referring to the matter between him and Xinluo. He felt weak in the heart and stopped talking.
Yunyun had a gloomy face and was sulking alone. She went out without saying a word to Wu Yu.
As soon as Yunyun left, Wu Yu's legs went weak and he fell into the chair.
Late at night, Yunyun came back and Wu Yu pretended to be asleep. Yunyun knew he was awake, so she sneered and didn't bother him. The two of them stayed silent all night.
