Chapter 90 Spreading Rumors, Profiting from Human Suffering
Yun Shu was stunned for a moment.
She never expected the murderer to be like this. She only found out that the victim's girlfriend was the murderer because Lao Qian called her again.
Yun Shu had asked for the deceased's address and then hung up the phone, but not long after hanging up, Lao Qian remembered more details.
In the dream, when Old Qian asked about his address, the ghost of the deceased complained to him that the woman he lived with had killed him.
Before Yun Shu could speak, Deng Shiye continued, "Although she is the least suspicious, we will still do our best to investigate the situation thoroughly. This woman said she suffered from polio since childhood and has difficulty moving around. We will also ask a professional doctor to examine her to see if she is truly unable to move around or if she is faking it."
After Deng Shiye finished speaking, he paused for a moment, "However, why are you so sure that the deceased's girlfriend is the murderer? The idea that a dead person can talk is too far-fetched."
Yun Shu had no choice but to say, "I saw the deceased's body yesterday. He told me about it in a dream last night."
Deng Shiye remained silent for a long time, clearly speechless at Yun Shu's answer.
"It was just a dream. Miss Yun, you shouldn't take things in dreams as reality. As for the truth, we still need evidence."
"..."
Yun Shu didn't say anything more, and Deng Shiye hung up the phone. He then had someone take the deceased's girlfriend to the police station to identify the body.
After confirming the deceased's identity, Deng Shiye did not release her but sent her directly to a specific hospital for doctors to examine whether the woman was ill.
During the police investigation, the face-slashing murder case gained increasing attention online, and many media outlets came to interview about the investigation.
After contacting Deng Shiye, Yun Shu went to Lu Shijing's house to see the black cat.
Lu Shijing originally wanted the black cat to demonstrate how to fire a gun for Yun Shu, but when he spoke to the black cat, the cat was nestled on top of the living room cabinet, looking at the two of them with an expression as if they were idiots.
Finally, Lu Shijing used a large basin of dried small fish to coax it down.
But the black cat ate the dried fish, turned around and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye, showing no intention of performing for them at all.
Yun Shu had dinner at Lu Shijing's house, and then went to the shop to make paper offerings.
Until the day before the competition, Yun Shu was still live-streaming herself making paper offerings, showing no intention of rehearsing and appearing completely unconcerned.
At first, her agent would call to urge her, but later she got too lazy to do it, knowing that it wouldn't make a difference.
The perpetrator of the face-slashing murder has not yet been caught.
When Yun Shu was making paper offerings in her shop, many fans in the live stream brought up this matter because Yun Shu had previously said in the live stream that the deceased's girlfriend was the murderer.
[Shushu, you guessed wrong this time. The murderer isn't the victim's girlfriend, and the primary crime scene wasn't their shared apartment.]
The hospital has released a report confirming that the woman is indeed a polio patient. Without a wheelchair, she has difficulty even walking, making it impossible for her to have committed murder!
Police conducted a large-scale search of the victim's home and performed blood tests using chemical reagents. No large amount of blood was found in the apartment where they lived together, indicating that the apartment was not the primary crime scene.
Yun Shu, you should really apologize publicly. After all, you're a public figure. Even people who don't know you are criticizing you, saying you're making things up to get attention, framing a disabled person, and profiting from tragedy!
Upon seeing the comments, Yun Shu frowned and left the live stream to take a look at the news report about the case from the official media.
News reports on this case are still ongoing, with the latest news being an interview with the deceased's girlfriend.
The deceased's girlfriend, Lu Huiyi, was cleared of murder suspicion, and the police had no right to detain her, so she was released and sent home yesterday.
In the video interview, Lu Huiyi sat in a wheelchair, her figure frail but her face beautiful. Looking at the host's tearful expression, one couldn't help but feel pity.
She whispered, "I don't know why society is so malicious towards me. In my condition, even simple daily activities like eating and sleeping are incredibly difficult. His departure has completely shattered my life. I wish I were the one who died; I'm just a useless piece of trash..."
As she spoke, tears streamed down Lu Huiyi's face, but she tried her best to suppress her emotions and not let herself cry out loud.
The host next to her handed her a tissue and waited for her to calm down before continuing the interview.
In the comments section of this video, many passersby directly tagged Yunshu's account.
[Spreading rumors that a disabled person committed murder, do you have any conscience? Lu Huiyi is already in such a state, how could she kill a grown man? What's more, she dumped his body in the suburbs!]
[Riding the wave of popularity and profiting from tragedy, you online streamers have absolutely no bottom line. I hope you, @Yunshu, are the next one to get your face slashed!]
There were many similar comments, but Yun Shu only read a few before stopping.
When Yun Shu returned to the live stream, her fans were quite forgiving, but they still suggested that she apologize.
After all, Lu Huiyi is a disabled person. First, her boyfriend died, and then she was cyberbullied and mistaken for the murderer. It was really too tragic.
Yun Shu temporarily ended the live stream and then called Lao Qian, "Lao Qian, has that ghost appeared in your dreams again?"
Old Qian said excitedly, "I was just about to call you about this when he came again last night. He said his face hasn't recovered yet and that I lied to him!"
Yunshu, what should I do now? He was very angry when he said that. Will he come back to get revenge on me? Can you help him restore his appearance?
"Restoring his appearance is possible, but we must find the facial features that were cut off."
Yun Shu then asked, "Did he say anything else? Like, complaining about his girlfriend?"
Old Qian thought about it carefully, "Oh right, he also complained that he worked like a slave and worked so hard to buy his girlfriend two houses, but she killed him!"
He even cried then, filled with regret, saying he should have given the money to his parents. Now he wants to restore his appearance so he can see his parents one last time before going to the underworld.
"Two apartments?" Yun Shu asked in surprise. "Two apartments in the capital? That must have cost a lot of money. Where did he buy them?"
"It's in Wutong Community, apartment 203 and apartment 204 in building 5, and another one is right next door. I was curious at the time, how could he have so much money to buy a house at such a young age? Then he told me that one of the apartments was a haunted house, and the real estate agent sold him both apartments together at a very cheap price."
Yun Shu suddenly realized, "So he died in room 204, not room 203 where he and his girlfriend usually lived!"
"I think so? What's wrong?"
Old Qian is an elderly man who doesn't surf the internet much and doesn't know anything about online things.
Yun Shu didn't answer his question. She hung up the phone, closed the shop, and went to Wutong Community.
