Chapter 27 Chapter 27 The last of the serial killer's men...
No. 008 is a young girl wearing a red dress and long black hair. When she walked in, she looked normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one would find that there was another layer of blood-red on top of the red dress - there was a hole in her skirt at the waist, and she died from excessive blood loss after being stabbed.
After sitting down, No. 008, Ye Hui, also recounted the cause of her death. She then said, "I had just moved to a new house, and my commute required me to pass through a very dark alley. But because there were people living in the alley, I could see lights on in the houses on both sides. So, while I was a little afraid of the dark, I never worried about my safety. After all, it only took less than five minutes to walk to the main road... until I died."
"I was working overtime that day and was returning home very late. When I passed Hutong, I saw a light on in a house nearby. I felt quite relieved because I thought there were people nearby, so I wasn't that scared."
"But I didn't expect it. I happened to hear the family arguing, and then a man with a knife stormed out. When he saw me, I don't know what he was thinking, but he rushed over and stabbed me. I tried to call for help, but he covered my mouth and dragged me into his yard. My mouth was gagged with tape, and my hands and feet were tied up. I lay there dead."
Ye Hui sighed and shook her head. "I just really want to ask, who is the murderer who killed me, and why did he kill me?"
You Yunyi looked at Zhiyin Qiang and said, "He's a serial killer. His wife happened to find out about it that day. The argument you heard was because of that."
Ye Hui looked at You Yunyi in astonishment: "Serial killer..."
The audience was also stunned: "Oh my God... Is his criterion for selecting victims based on red dresses? The outfit of girl No. 008 is quite conspicuous."
“Who knows what a serial killer thinks.”
"Didn't you hear what they said? That man went out with a knife and stabbed No. 008 who happened to be passing by. It felt like a hapless coincidence."
"How can there still be serial killers these days? Haven't they been caught?"
You Yunyi said slowly, "If his wife died, he, as a husband, wouldn't be able to escape investigation. So he didn't kill his wife, who knew the secret. Instead, he thought of you. He saw you walking alone past their house in the alley on your way to and from work every day. He knew you often worked overtime and went home after get off work, so he originally wanted to wait for you outside. But before he could do so, he saw you outside through the crack in the door. So he took action as soon as you left the house, making it seem like a sudden surprise."
"You're waiting for me...but I still don't understand why?" Ye Hui said blankly.
"He didn't dare to kill his wife for fear of exposing himself, so he killed someone in front of his wife. It was both to deter and make an example of her, and also to make his wife think that she was also an accomplice. After all, you died in their home." You Yunyi said.
Ye Hui couldn't believe it: "Is this the reason I died?"
You Yunyi nodded.
Ye Hui asked anxiously again, "What will he do with my body after I die? Hasn't this serial killer been caught yet?"
A corresponding picture appears on the Zhiyin wall.
You Yunyi said calmly, "He hasn't been caught yet."
Because Ye Hui did not die in recent years, the fact that she looked young does not mean that she had just died. It only means that she was still very young when she died.
In fact, Ye Hui has been dead for twenty years, but she felt that her death was unjust at the beginning and did not want to be reincarnated. She just wanted to wait in the underworld for the murderer who killed her to come down and take revenge in person.
But no matter how long she waited, she still couldn't get to the place. Only after being persuaded by Meng Po several times did Ye Hui start to queue up at the extradition office.
Twenty years ago, the serial killer was thirty-one years old. At that time, there was no ubiquitous surveillance, and criminal investigation technology was not as advanced as it is today. The serial killer did not have any clear signs when choosing his victims - if there was any, it was just a "strange woman he couldn't stand" - and his crimes were scattered, so the crimes he committed were not even considered serial murders.
After killing Ye Hui, the murderer forced his wife to bury her body in the field in their yard.
Ye Hui was a migrant worker with no relatives or friends. In that era when communication was not well developed, she suddenly disappeared. The company and the landlord could not contact her. They thought she had gone to "make a fortune" somewhere else and did not take it too seriously.
Killing Ye Hui was a "sudden incident" for the murderer. He did not dare to take any action after that. He kept an eye on his wife every day, worried that she would not be "clear-minded" and report him.
Later, as criminal investigation technology became more advanced, the murderer watched other serial murder cases being solved and feared he would be caught, so he stopped committing crimes.
Ye Hui became the last innocent soul killed by the serial killer.
Looking at the serial killer on Zhiyin Wall, who is now over fifty years old and still alive, Ye Hui gritted her teeth.
You Yunyi didn't bother to comfort her, and turned to look at the camera: "There should be very few dying people in the mortal world who can see the current live broadcast. Pay attention to your own safety first. Don't be reckless and think you can be a hero. If you find anything suspicious, it's best to call the police."
"As for the serial killer on Zhiyin Wall, if it's convenient, you can call the police. The statute of limitations for murder is twenty years, and it just so happens that it hasn't expired yet. More importantly, the son of this family may have inherited his father's genes. He's twenty-five years old this year and hasn't dared to hurt anyone yet, but he has already tortured and killed cats and dogs. According to the original plan, he will be sentenced to death for murder. But if we intervene in time, we may be able to save the future victim."
You Yunyi would not normally be so "nosy", but... thinking of Lin Yujing's miserable appearance after being struck by the thunder, You Yunyi thought, he should intervene as much as possible, change the fate of more dying people, accumulate enough merits as soon as possible, and then he can be reincarnated.
After his reincarnation, the Extradition Office will probably be closed, which will probably be an even more hopeless torment for the ghosts still on the Naihe Bridge. But for Lin Yujing, the King of Hell himself, there will be no risk - the Extradition Office, a permanent temporary office, will be abolished, and Lin Yujing will no longer continue to broadcast live to connect to the world of the living and affect life and death. Even if the Heavenly Dao wants to hold him accountable, it will be easily let go.
You Yunyi was born indifferent, and his thousand years of soul life made him even more indifferent to others.
The only thing he couldn't do was ignore Lin Yujing's affairs.
Even if he reincarnated soon, it would mean that he and Lin Yujing would be separated... but that didn't matter. If he didn't reincarnate anyway, his soul would be in danger of dissipating, so separation was inevitable.
You Yunyi looked at the live camera and sighed quietly in his heart.
After the meeting with No. 008 ended, Zhiyin Wall, as usual, began to broadcast live scenes related to the mortal world.
The girl in the picture was hesitant and struggling on the spot, muttering to herself. She wanted to be brave enough to call the police and bring the serial killer who had escaped for so many years to justice. But she was also worried that if so much time passed and the police investigated and found insufficient evidence, the killer would not be sentenced to death or even go to jail, or would be released after only a few years, and they would then take revenge on her.
Moreover, the girl heard You Yunyi say that the old serial killer had a young and strong son who was a reserve killer. Even if the old one was executed and couldn't take revenge on her, the young one was still out there. He hadn't had the chance to commit crimes yet, so he would definitely be safe. What if he, who was already a reserve killer, chose to attack her later...
She was scared.
Because the girl in the world of the living was struggling for too long, there was no progress in the live broadcast, which made the ghosts in the underworld very anxious.
But even though the ghost audience was very curious about whether the girl in the mortal world had finally reported the crime, after the one-hour meeting with No. 008 was over, You Yunyi simply turned off the Zhiyin Wall screen: "No. 009, continue."
That's how I continue with today's work.
