Chapter 24 The Truth About Death 1. The story of the murderer Li Yunyun
After Officer Zhong talked to Li Yunyun, Li Yunyun knew that Officer Zhong and his team began to suspect her of being the murderer. When she came back from the old man's room at night, Yunyun felt very worried and did not notice anything wrong with Wu Yu. She went to bed alone in a bad mood.
In April, when spring has just arrived and willow trees are swaying in the wind, Baiyun Mountain is crowded with tourists. It happened to be Saturday, and nearby college students and middle school students went up the mountain for sightseeing. The apartment that Li Yunyun rented was not far from Baiyun Mountain, and she went up the mountain for sightseeing or painting almost every month.
On this day, she was painting the scenery of Guangzhou buildings in a quiet manner as usual. She was so focused on painting that she didn't even notice a figure behind her.
"Miss, your painting is really beautiful." Li Yunyun turned her head naturally when she heard the man's voice. In an instant, their eyes met and they fell in love with each other.
Li Yunyun nodded shyly, smiled, and turned back. But for some reason, her mind was not on the painting at all.
After a while, she heard the laughter of several men and women behind her. But when she turned her head again, the man who was talking had disappeared from her sight. She thought they had only met once, and she felt a little disappointed.
A week later, Li Yunyun went to Guangzhou Book City because she needed some painting supplies. Unexpectedly, she met the man again.
"Hello, it seems that we are really destined to meet." The man showed a handsome smile on his handsome face.
She was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Really ?"
"My name is Su Wei, and I'm a photographer. What about you?" The other person stretched out his hand.
Li Yunyun hesitated and did not reach out.
"My name is Li Yunyun." She deliberately avoided looking at him and looked at the painting supplies in the stationery store.
"I saw your lifelike portrait of Guangzhou City on the mountain last time. I wonder if you have finished it yet. I really want to see it. I wonder if there is a chance."
Li Yunyun shuddered, and understood what he meant. She felt her heart sink. Could it be? She was confused.
After about a month of dating, Su Wei asked for leave from his company, deliberately saying he was going to Wuzhen to shoot, but secretly went there with Li Yunyun. He could not have imagined that he would meet the girl he loved most in his life - Mei Xin.
As soon as he entered Wuzhen Water Town, Su Wei was mesmerized by the scenery, and his face showed an excited expression. Su Wei was very puzzled as to why Yunyun had such a dull expression and no passion at all.
"Yunyun, you don't seem very happy to be in Wuzhen. What's going on?"
"No, I just came here when I was a kid, and it doesn't seem new to me."
"Oh, that's how it is." Su Wei thought that although he had been here before, it was different now. He was with his lover, so he should be happy.
"It's getting late, let's eat first and then go on a night cruise." Yunyun stroked Su Wei's elbow and smiled.
"Okay." Su Wei felt that Yunyun was pretentious and cold-hearted, and it was rare for her to smile.
After dinner, they boarded the boat on the river bank. The night in Wuzhen Water Town was warm and romantic. The lights of the houses on the river bank and the neon lights on the shore set off the clear water, as if the sunset was full of gold.
In the silence, Yunyun's cell phone suddenly rang.
Yunyun answered the phone, but before she could say anything, a sweet voice rang out from the other end: "Yunyun, have you arrived in Wuzhen?"
"I'm on a river cruise right now. Haven't you left your hometown yet?"
"It came a few days ago."
"Then come quickly, I'm under the arch bridge, just..."
"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute."
Yunyun hung up the phone with a charming smile on her face.
Su Wei was suspicious to see her so happy after hearing a phone call, so he asked, "Who was that girl on the other end of the phone just now?"
"I won't tell you." Yunyun acted like a spoiled child, her brows revealing a charming expression. "When the other person comes over later, you can't let your imagination run wild after seeing him, understand?"
"What's wrong? Is the other person very beautiful?" Su Wei gently hugged Yunyun and kissed her on the face.
"She's a fairy." Yunyun murmured, making Su Wei eager to meet her.
"Brows." Yunyun introduced the girl to Su Wei, and Su Wei was stunned. The girl in front of him was wearing a classic dark blue cheongsam, showing her graceful figure. On her fair face, a pair of gentle and charming big eyes were as clear as the water under her eyes. Su Wei could not imagine that there was such .
After the boat trip, they had a late-night snack in town.
Su Wei originally planned to book a room with Yunyun in a hotel in town, but Mei Xin said, "Come to my house. You won't be returning to Guangzhou in a day or two anyway."
Su Wei looked at Li Yunyun, and Yunyun nodded happily.
On the dimly lit street, only Su Wei, Yunyun, and Meixin were walking towards a desolate place. The further Su Wei walked, the colder he felt.
They came to a quiet old house, surrounded by jackdaws like an ancient tomb.
Su Wei was already trembling in his heart as he watched. He simply couldn't believe that Mei Xin would live in such a scary old house. He suddenly remembered the beautiful girls in Liao Zhai, all of whom lived in such a place, but they were all incarnations of ghosts or foxes.
"Could it be that Meixin..." He thought that Meixin was so beautiful, obviously a real beautiful girl, how could she be a ghost or a fox? He thought about this question all night.
After daybreak, he still felt the gloomy atmosphere, while Yunyun went to the room next door to Meixin to chat. When he went out, he was surprised to see the old house in ruins.
After settling in the old house, Su Wei was even more shocked when he heard the legend that the old house was haunted. But at that time, he had already fallen in love with Mei Xin.
Mei Xin also seemed to fall in love with Su Wei at first sight, and soon they fell in love. But everything was seen by Li Yunyun.
Mei Xin had been sick since childhood. While enjoying the love affair with Su Wei, he was worried that Li Yunyun would find out, so he fell ill. Later, Li Yunyun scolded him and he died. Only Li Yunyun knew what happened.
After Mei Xin's death, Su Wei met Mei Xin's grandfather and his sisters Xinluo and Niao Niao. He was even more surprised that these three girls were so beautiful, like the reincarnations of foxes in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
After the ghost wedding was held in the old house, Su Wei felt very guilty towards Mei Xin and Yun Yun. In addition, he heard that men who had a ghost wedding would be haunted by the ghost bride. Gradually, Su Wei became ill and almost never talked in his sleep with Mei Xin.
Seeing her beloved man like this, Li Yunyun was filled with hatred and pretended to be a ghost bride and killed Su Wei.
She remembered that it was raining that day, and the whole old house was immersed in mist. In the silent old house, there were only Su Wei and Li Yunyun. Xinluo and the others had already sent Meixin's ashes back to his hometown in the ancient city.
After Li Yunyun put on the legendary red cheongsam, she looked carefully in the bronze mirror and saw a woman who looked like she was from ancient times. She was elegant and beautiful, but her fair face looked cold and haggard.
At this time, Su Wei just woke up hazily and saw a girl wearing a ghost bride cheongsam in front of him. He thought it was Mei Xin and was surprised and happy.
"Brow--" Su Wei stammered.
Li Yunyun was touched, thinking that her former boyfriend was now calling Meixin's name. Sadness came over her and tears started to flow silently.
She turned around slowly and sneered at Su Wei.
Su Wei gradually recognized Li Yunyun and was horrified to see her dressed like that.
"Yunyun, I'm really sorry for you, but I can't force you to do anything about your relationship, not to mention that Meixin and I are in love."
"Really? Don't you ever consider my feelings? Don't you know that you are my first love? I watched my first love go to bed with another girl. Just imagine how painful I was inside." Yunyun choked with tears streaming down her face.
Su Wei was speechless.
Suddenly, Yunyun took out a small knife from behind her back, smiled coldly, her face was pale, and her eyes were shining coldly.
"Yunyun, you..."
"Since I can't get this love, there's no point in keeping it." Yunyun approached Su Wei step by step with a dazed look.
Su Wei was trembling at this time. He was not afraid that Yunyun would kill him, but was shocked by Yunyun's sudden change. He knew it was his fault. He shouldn't have come to Wuzhen, and he shouldn't have liked Mei Xin, which caused Yunyun's temperament to change drastically.
He closed his eyes in pain.
Yunyun raised the knife, looked at him fiercely, and stabbed Su Wei's lower body as if she was haunted by a ghost bride...
