Su Guifang went into the restaurant, ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles for three cents, and then sat down at the table to wait.
A man in his thirties walked up to her and said, "Miss, may I sit here?"
If there were no empty seats elsewhere in the restaurant, it would make sense for the man to sit down opposite her. However, Su Guifang looked around and saw that all the tables in the restaurant were empty, and that they were the only two customers at the moment. She knew that the man was just there to make things interesting for her, and she always felt that this kind of person had ulterior motives.
She said, "Of course!"
The man had just sat down when Su Guifang stood up and moved to another table. The man, like a shadow, immediately moved to sit opposite her and said, "Beautiful lady, am I really that annoying?"
Su Guifang said, "What do you think? If there aren't any empty tables in the restaurant, it's normal for you to share a table with others. Look around the restaurant, are there any people eating? There are five tables, four of which are empty. Why do you insist on joining in the fun here? Let me tell you, I'm already annoyed."
Su Guifang was indeed very annoyed. After she finished speaking, she moved to another table, and the man, unsurprisingly, followed her and sat down opposite her.
Su Guifang was very angry. She asked the boss if the noodles were ready, and the boss said they would be ready soon.
The man was driving her crazy, like a bedbug. Su Guifang had no appetite for food. She handed the proprietress three cents for her meal and said, "I'm not eating the noodles. You can take care of it yourself."
The customer only needs to pay for the meal; whether they eat it or not is really unimportant. The proprietress accepted the three cents and said okay.
After leaving the restaurant, Su Guifang went into another restaurant and ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles for three cents. After finishing her meal, she went straight back to her residence.
The house she rented was a detached house with only three rooms in the yard, and the landlord did not live there.
The neighbors next door are a couple who run a food stall at the night market. They leave home around 3 or 4 pm every day and don't return until late at night. They sleep at home during the day and set up their stall at night, making the whole courtyard very quiet at night.
The main gate is a pair of old-fashioned doors. If the doors are locked so the neighbors can't come back at night, they usually just close the main gate and lock it when they come back in the middle of the night to go to sleep.
Su Guifang pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard. She then closed the gate behind her, took out her key, opened the door to the house, went inside, and turned on the light.
Su Guifang suddenly felt someone behind her. She turned around abruptly and saw the persistent man standing behind her. He had secretly followed her into her home. She asked in a trembling voice, "You, what are you doing in my house? Don't you know that trespassing is illegal?"
The man, seemingly incapable of idle chatter, suddenly pulled out a dagger and pointed it at Su Guifang's chest, saying, "I've slept with plenty of women, but I never expected to be rejected by you tonight. Tell me, will you submit, or will I bleed you dry?"
Who would want to die when they're perfectly healthy? Even Su Guifang herself doesn't believe she's not afraid of death. She's never seen anything like this before; the man's actions have terrified her.
The man said, "If you don't want to die, take off your clothes now."
Su Guifang had no choice but to take off her dress and throw it on the bed, leaving her only in her underwear and shorts.
The man looked at Su Guifang and said, "You have a devilish figure," then forcefully slammed the dagger into the table and took off his clothes.
The man was probably afraid that the woman would run away while he was undressing, so he locked the door and stood at the door to undress, so that Su Guifang couldn't run away even if she wanted to.
The man was wearing dark blue trousers and a dark gray T-shirt. He first took off his trousers and threw them on the bed, then grabbed the edges of the T-shirt with both hands and pulled it up.
Once the man takes off his undershirt, Su Guifang becomes his plaything, and she is truly unwilling to be defiled like this.
Just as the man was about to pull his undershirt off his head, Su Guifang steeled herself, grabbed a dagger from the table, and thrust the blade towards the man's chest.
Su Guifang used too much force, and the dagger pierced in more than halfway.
She usually wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, but the man he was killing was a burly man, which frightened her so much that she quickly let go of his hands and took a few steps back.
The man's blood flowed down the knife wound, and Su Guifang's body and hands were covered in his blood.
The moment Su Guifang let go, the man took two steps forward, startling her so much that she retreated to the back wall.
The man was merely struggling before his death, unwillingly lying on the ground with the imperial edict in his hand.
That was good; the dagger pierced completely into the ground upon impact, the tip protruding from his back, piercing him right through.
If it were pierced into the chest cavity like that, there would be no way a man could survive, no matter how many lives he had.
After stabbing the person to death, Su Guifang was so terrified that she collapsed unconsciously to the ground.
She quickly regained her senses, not even bothering to put on her clothes, stood up, covered in blood, and ran frantically into the street.
She was only wearing shorts and underwear, and was running down the street covered in blood.
Passersby on the street saw this scene and didn't know what had happened, but they guessed that she had killed someone, so why was she in such a sorry state?
Su Guifang ran into the police station to turn herself in. After the police learned about the situation from Su Guifang and Chen Shu, they handcuffed her and took her home to perform an autopsy.
The police took Su Guifang back home. The man's body was lying face down on the floor, and his blood was everywhere in the house.
The man was only wearing shorts, with his undershirt still pulled over his head.
After examining the knife marks on the table, the police determined that the man had broken into the house and committed rape, and that Su Guifang's actions constituted legitimate self-defense.
The police station notified the city's criminal investigation team to conduct a new on-site investigation. Whether Su Guifang's actions constituted legitimate self-defense will ultimately be decided by the city bureau.
The criminal investigation team came and carefully examined the scene. From any angle, Su Guifang's actions constituted legitimate self-defense.
The police left the courtyard. A policewoman unlocked Su Guifang's handcuffs, let her wash off the bloodstains in the yard, change into a set of underwear, and then put on a dress.
The police put her handcuffs back on and pulled her by the arm toward the gate.
The police took Su Guifang to the restaurant where she had her first meal that evening. The police questioned the owner about what had happened that night, and the owner recounted the events in detail, saying, "The girl's food was almost ready, she paid for it, and left without eating."
A policeman asked the restaurant owner to go to Su Guifang's house to identify the body.
Twenty minutes later, the police and the restaurant owner returned. The restaurant owner testified that the male corpse in Su Guifang's house was the man who had harassed Su Guifang that night.
Finally, they took Su Guifang to another restaurant. Business was slow in those days, and there weren't many customers. The owner had a strong impression of her, saying, "She was quite good; she ate a bowl of vegetarian noodles here and then went home."
The investigation has now reached the point where the truth is clear: the murdered man had followed her home, then used a weapon to force Su Guifang to rape him. Su Guifang's actions constitute legitimate self-defense.
The police temporarily took Su Guifang back to the municipal bureau.
Back at the municipal bureau, I asked Su Guifang where she worked, and she gave me her work address.
