Chapter 24 The Truth About Death 2. The killing process
After reporting the case to the police and returning to Guangzhou, Yunyun was in a low mood, so she went to a bar to drink, where she met Wu Yu and fell in love with him. However, what she didn't expect was that Wu Yu was actually a colleague of Su Wei. Wu Yu mentioned this matter when they were traveling almost a year after they fell in love. Yunyun was shocked when she found out. She was afraid that Wu Yu would know the secret hidden in her heart, so she planned to leave him, but she found that she had fallen hopelessly in love with him. How could she easily give up on the man she loved so much?
Not long ago, before coming to Wuzhen, Wu Yu proposed to her. In order to prove Wu Yu's feelings for her, Li Yunyun imitated Su Wei's handwriting and wrote a letter to him, which led to her coming to Wuzhen.
Living in the old house and meeting Xinluo and Niao Niao was the beginning of the test for Wu Yu. But what she didn't expect was that Su Wei suddenly appeared and fell in love with Niao Niao. She was shocked when she saw Su Wei for the first time. She once heard Su Wei mention that he had a brother who looked exactly like him, so she suspected that Su Wei was Su Wei's brother. Later, after a confident investigation, the fact was proved.
Originally, Yunyun had no intention of killing Su Wei, but she gradually discovered that Su Wei had been investigating the cause of his brother's death, so she became more vigilant.
By chance, Yunyun discovered the conversation between Su Wei and the old man.
"Uncle, I believe you know something about how my brother died." Yunyun passed by the old man's room and heard the conversation inside. She trembled and carefully stuck to the screen window.
"Actually, from the first moment I saw you, I felt that you had a special relationship with Su Wei, but I didn't expect that you would investigate the matter between Mei Xin and your brother so quickly. I don't know how your brother died that year, because I have returned to my hometown with Xinluo and Niao Niao, and only Li Yunyun and your eldest brother are in the ancient house." The old man's heavy words came from inside, as if they had been accumulated for many years.
"Li Yunyun? I have already investigated clearly. She is my brother's girlfriend back then. They came to Wuzhen and the ancient house together."
When Yunyun heard this, she was so shocked that her whole body trembled.
"How do you know about this? Did Niao Niao tell you?" The old man's voice was obviously surprised.
“Not exactly, but you could say that.”
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"When my brother came to Wuzhen, he told me that he came with his girlfriend, but he didn't tell me what his girlfriend was like. He only said that she was a beautiful girl with a cold appearance and silver bells on her feet from her childhood. I learned about your relationship with Yunyun from Niao Niao once. Niao Niao also said that Yunyun had silver bells on her feet. And considering her appearance, I guess she was the murderer who killed my brother. As for the reason, I want to get the details from you before asking her."
After hearing these words, Yunyun's face turned pale and her whole body trembled with fear.
After returning to the room, she kept thinking about what Su Wei had just said. In order to prevent Su Wei from exposing her, she entered Su Wei's room late that night, pretending to be a ghost bride, first drugged him, and then stabbed him in the genitals with a knife. Before dawn, she hurriedly took the murder weapon out of the old house and abandoned it in the river.
She thought that she could do it without anyone noticing, just like she did when she killed Su Wei. In order to prevent the old man from speaking out, she talked to him.
"Yunyun, are you really so cruel to kill the Su Wei brothers? They have no grudge against you!" The old man pointed at Yunyun, his whole body shaking with anger.
"No, I didn't kill her. It was the ghost bride."
"Can't you tell the truth in front of me? What kind of will and hatred would turn you into a demon?"
"It's all their fault. Su Wei betrayed me and fell in love with Mei Xin. Now Su Wei shouldn't come to investigate. I was forced to do it."
"Really?" The old man smiled coldly.
"Please forgive my mistakes. I plan to stay away from the old house and go back to Guangzhou. I will never come back to this sad place again."
"I'm afraid you can't do it. Don't you already know about Xinluo and Wu Yu's affair? Why are you letting them get into this mess?"
"Men are not good people. They love to fall in love with other women and get tired of the old and love the new." Yunyun said coldly, with a terrifying cold light in her eyes.
"Are you planning to kill Wu Yu as well?" The old man looked at him in shock.
"All men who betray me must die." Yunyun said fiercely, gritting her teeth.
"Yunyun, you are no longer the innocent little girl you used to be. You are becoming less and less like a woman. I can't bear to see you kill anyone anymore." The old man grabbed Yunyun's hand and said, "Go, turn yourself in. That way, you won't have nightmares for the rest of your life."
"I can't turn myself in, I can't turn myself in..." Yunyun pushed the old man away.
The old man fell down, gasping on the ground, pointing at Yunyun and cursing: "How can you treat me like this, I must..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Yunyun pulling out a dagger from behind.
"Yunyun... can you really bear to kill me too?" The old man stammered, his words unclear.
"I've already made up my mind. If you can't keep this secret, I have no choice. Don't blame me." Yunyun approached him step by step.
The old man held back his grief, calmed down and closed his eyes.
Yunyun trembled and slowly raised the dagger...
After killing the old man, in order to make the police mistakenly believe that it was the ghost bride who killed him, he called Wu Yu, pretending to be scared and hiding the truth.
After the old man was cremated, she suddenly remembered the secret room in his room. She thought it was possible that he might have left some evidence, so she went there.
