Chapter 198 Final Farewell
Su Leyun and Chu Yanxiao looked at each other and understood in their hearts that the resentment of this female ghost had penetrated deep into her bones. If it was not resolved in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
"The reason you have been able to stay in the human world for so long is because you have a knot in your heart," Su Leyun said slowly, "As long as you are willing to let go of your resentment, the knot in your heart will naturally be untied, and you will be able to find peace."
A trace of fluctuation flashed in the woman's eyes. She slowly raised her head and said in a hoarse and cold voice: "My knot? Do you think I want revenge?"
Su Leyun and Chu Yanxiao were both stunned.
Of course they thought that her wish would be revenge. After all, she had been treated so unfairly during her lifetime and was suppressed after her death, so she was filled with resentment.
However, what the woman said next surprised them.
"I want to see my parents one last time." The woman's voice trembled a little: "I want to apologize to them and say goodbye."
Although she couldn't leave here, she knew that her parents would never give up looking for her all these years. Now she was just a broken corpse, and she didn't want her parents to spend the rest of their lives pursuing an illusory goal.
They parted on bad terms when they left, and now she just wanted to say goodbye to them properly.
Su Leyun's heart trembled, and he nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
It was afternoon nap time, and Su Leyun cast a spell to make the woman fall asleep.
In the dream, the woman saw her elderly parents. The two old people were sitting in the familiar living room. Their faces were full of traces of time, but their joy at seeing their daughter remained the same as it had been for decades.
The woman knelt in front of them, tears streaming down her face. "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry I haven't come to see you for so long."
The two elderly people seemed to sense something. The mother gently stroked her face and murmured, "Daughter, it's good that you're back. Our family will never be separated again."
The father's eyes also turned red, and his voice trembled: "Son, are you okay? Don't worry about us, we will be fine."
…
After waking up from the dream, the two old men sat up from the bed at the same time, looked at each other, and said at the same time: "I just dreamed..."
Before they finished speaking, their eyes were filled with tears. They knew that their daughter was no longer in this world.
The two old people hugged each other and cried bitterly, for their poor daughter and for the last time they had waited for ten years.
After the knot in her heart was resolved, the ghost girl's figure gradually became clearer, and her originally hideous face returned to its original appearance when she was alive.
Her long hair fell softly on her shoulders, and there was a hint of gentleness between her eyebrows, as if she was still the young woman who had not experienced tragedy.
Only then did Chu Yanxiao notice that the long skirt that looked bright red was actually pure white. The reason it looked red was because she had lost almost all the blood in her body before she died.
The bloodstains on the hem of her skirt have long since dried up, but they are still eye-catching, as if silently telling the tragic scene before her death.
The ghost girl's knot was finally untied, her resentment gradually dissipated, and she regained her sanity.
She looked at Su Leyun, her eyes full of gratitude and relief: "Thank you for letting me fulfill my last wish."
Su Leyun nodded, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "From the moment you hurt innocent people, you have changed from a victim to a perpetrator. Although you have your own difficulties, those innocent lives cannot be saved. You must pay the price for this."
The female ghost smiled slightly, and her figure gradually became transparent: "I understand. I am willing to turn into ashes, but I only hope that my resentment will no longer harm the world."
Su Leyun took a deep breath, made a hand gesture, and a golden light flashed, striking the woman directly. The woman's figure completely disappeared into the air, as if she had never existed.
Chu Yanxiao stared blankly at the place where the woman disappeared. If Su Leyun had not been by her side, she would have suspected that what she had just seen was an illusion. He walked forward and patted Su Leyun on the shoulder: "It's over."
Su Leyun curled his lips: "No, it's not over yet."
"Although it's been too late for many years, the retribution for some people has finally come."
Chu Yanxiao was a little confused and didn't understand what Su Leyun meant. But soon, Zhang Yang's voice was heard downstairs: "Classmates, the latest news is that the third body was found in the ruins!"
Everyone was on edge, and Chu Yanxiao's words immediately made the students excited.
"Why is there a third body? Is it a serial killer?"
"It's impossible for a serial killer to kill two people in less than a minute in front of tens of thousands of people during a live broadcast? I think there must be something fishy going on here!"
There were many different opinions, and the investigation in the ruins of the B&B was in full swing.
Huo Junyuan put on gloves while walking through the crowded crowd of onlookers and finally arrived at the edge of the cordon at the crime scene.
"Captain Huo, you're back from the mission! I was just saying two days ago that I haven't seen you for a long time!" The police officers inside stood at attention unconsciously when they saw him, and hurried over to raise the cordon for him. After Huo Junyuan entered the crime scene, they immediately began to report the situation.
"There were three bodies at the scene, two females and one male. The forensic doctor conducted an on-site investigation and found that one of the male and one of the females died around 3 a.m. today, and the other female died ten years ago."
Huo Junyuan looked calm and serious. He did not slow down his pace even after listening to the report. Instead, he quickly came to the room where the crime occurred. He squatted down and carefully observed the body that even the forensic doctor frowned at. He confirmed again: "In which year did the fire in this B&B happen?"
The police officer seemed to be taking a test and answered seriously: "Ten years ago!"
Huo Junyuan pondered for a moment, then began to make the next arrangements: "Immediately check for eligible women who disappeared ten years ago. We need to determine the source of the corpse in the shortest possible time before we can conduct a follow-up investigation!"
"Yes!" The police officer nodded and immediately followed Huo Junyuan's ideas.
A month later, the man who was serving his sentence received a notice that his sentence had been increased again. He was so angry that he punched the wall again and again, and he did not stop even though his hands were already bloody.
Why? I'm going to be released from prison soon! It’s only a few days away! Now that his sentence has been temporarily increased, am I really going to spend the rest of my life in prison?
This man was the boyfriend who deceived the female ghost at that time.
After he and his wife killed the woman, the old bachelor came to their house several times and demanded that they compensate his wife and children, or return the money they had used to buy the woman.
He said he saw the two of them hitting a woman, and he not only wanted money to bribe her, but also money to keep her quiet, otherwise he threatened to call the police and have both of them arrested and put in jail!
The two men were very scared, but they had no money to give him. Finally, when the old bachelor came to their door again, the man picked up the axe he used to chop firewood at home.
