Chapter 22 Mystery 1. Murder Mystery
"Ghost... there is a ghost..." Yunyun slowly calmed down and kept repeating this sentence.
When Wu Yu heard this, he was so surprised that he collapsed to the ground.
"Ghost...it's the ghost bride..." Yunyun murmured to herself.
Wu Yu calmed down and called the policewoman. Wu Yu told her that the old man in the old house had died. She didn't say anything after hearing that, as if she was shocked, and hung up after a while.
After Wu Yu called the policewoman, he pondered for a while before calling Xinluo. Xinluo didn't know about the grandfather's death, so she still said tenderly: "Is there anything wrong, Yu?"
Wu Yu couldn't bear to tell her the truth, so he said tactfully: "You and Niao Niao, hurry back to the ancient house."
"What happened?" Xinluo asked quickly.
"You'll know when you and Niao Niao come back." Wu Yu couldn't bear to say any more and hung up the phone.
Wu Yu turned around and glanced at Yunyun inadvertently, and was shocked to see Yunyun's face dark, her eyes showing fierce light, staring at her fiercely. Wu Yu felt that Yunyun was unusual, and he thought that Yunyun must know about his relationship with Xinluo and hated him. He knew Yunyun's character, and she would keep everything in her heart and would not say it out.
About half an hour later, Officer Zhong, the policewoman, the forensic doctor Li, and two policemen drove over and met Xinluo Niao Niao unexpectedly at the door of the ancient house. They all rushed to the old man's room together.
Xinluo and Niao Niao fainted immediately when they saw the old man's death. Li, the forensic doctor, stepped forward and pinched their philtrum, and after some simple first aid, Xinluo and Niao Niao slowly woke up.
When the two sisters woke up, they couldn't bear the sadness of their grandfather being murdered and tears flowed all over the floor.
"Grandpa—" The two sisters sobbed and threw themselves on the old man.
At this time, forensic doctor Li put on professional gloves and began to examine how the deceased died. When he gently lifted the old man's lower body, he was shocked and his face turned pale, as if he was possessed by evil spirits. He stood up and muttered to himself: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
While forensic doctor Li was examining the body, Officer Zhong took Wu Yu and Yunyun aside and asked them what was going on.
Yunyun wiped her tears and choked up, "I was going to Xinluo School today, but just as I stepped out of the door, I saw a red figure floating into the backyard, so I panicked. Out of curiosity, I quietly followed in. When I could see the red figure clearly, I was scared. It was a bride wearing an ancient Republic of China costume. I remembered the legendary ghost bride and thought I had seen a ghost."
When Wu Yu and others heard this, they were so shocked that their eyes widened and they were speechless.
The policewoman seemed a little scared and continued to ask, "What happened next?"
Yunyun touched her chest, looking frightened, and continued, "I saw the ghost bride float into the old man's room, and soon the old man screamed. I was shocked and scared at the time, thinking that the ghost bride might have killed someone again. When I gently pushed open the old man's room, I saw this scene."
"Did you see the face of the ghost bride clearly?" The policewoman observed Yunyun with sharp eyes.
Yunyun shook her head.
At this time, Li, the forensic doctor, suddenly called the policewoman over and handed her a yellowed letter. The policewoman read it and called Wu Yu and Yun Yun over. Wu Yu and Yun Yun were shocked when they saw the handwriting on the envelope. It only said: Ghost marriage and murder. Wu Yu and Yun Yun clearly recognized the handwriting of the deceased Su Wei.
Seeing their surprised expressions, the policewoman asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Wu Yu thought about it and told her that this was the handwriting of the deceased Su Wei. The policewoman was shocked and fell into deep thought.
Wu Yu thought to himself, Su Wei is clearly dead, so why is there his handwriting? Is it really the ghost of the dead?
Yunyun saw Xinluo and Niao Niao were still crying, so she went forward to comfort them. After a long time, Xinluo and Niao Niao gradually calmed down, and asked about their grandfather's death with sobs. Yunyun told them one by one. After hearing this, the two sisters were frightened and shivered, but they were still half-believing and half-doubting.
Officer Zhong suddenly asked Xin Luo, "Has your grandfather ever experienced a ghost marriage?"
Xinluo looked surprised and murmured, "My grandfather seemed to have experienced this when he was young, but it has been so many years. How come it suddenly happened today..." Xinluo's tears came again as she spoke.
Officer Zhong was surprised and asked, "Could it be that everyone who has experienced a ghost marriage will be killed by the ghost bride?"
After hearing this, Wu Yu was slightly shocked and thought that if the ghost bride really killed someone, then he would not live long.
Officer Zhong continued, "We can't investigate the truth of your grandfather's death for now, but the dead have to be buried sooner or later, so you can do whatever you want. If you need any help, just let me know."
Xinlu nodded with tears on her face.
Officer Zhong called forensic doctor Li and spoke to him in a low voice. Forensic doctor Li whispered something in Officer Zhong's ear, and Officer Zhong's face gradually changed. After a while, they whispered with the policewoman and the two policemen for a while, and then said goodbye to Xinluo and the others and went out.
After they left, Niao Niao went into the room, took out the old man's new clothes, and put them on for him while crying.
At this time, Yunyun supported the heartbroken Xinluo and said, "Xinluo, if you need any help from me and Wu Yu, just tell me."
Xinluo said quietly, "Brother Yu, please go out and call the musicians, and order the coffin, etc." Then he whispered to Wu Yu and told him everything he needed to do. Wu Yu and Yunyun were surprised at how efficient Xinluo was in handling things.
Wu Yu went out as Xinluo instructed, while Xinluo, Niao Niao and Yunyun hugged each other tightly.
