Chapter 42: The Truth Is Revealed


    When the fatty came to me, his be had turned ck, and his vitaliy was also weak. I thought that some vengeance-seeking ghost was pestering him and decided to wait beside the vi in the hopes of finding the root of the issue, said the man in the Kumamon t-shirt.


    Before you guys came yesterday, everything inside the vi was normal. But, as soon as you showed up, ghosts began appearing. I guessed that it might be due to some otherworldly item you had on you that stimted the ghosts inside the vi. And, it was possible that their deaths were rted to said item.


    Then, when I saw the jademp in your hand, I understood everything, the man in the Kumamon t-shirt continued.


    This jademp was probably the cousins family heirloom. The fatty knew about the pricelessmp, and he pretended to be a good guy, bringing his cousins family to the city to enjoy a good life. However, the truth was that he just wanted to steal themp. Then, his cousin probably caught him during the act, and out of embarrassment, the fatty killed both his cousin and sister-inw. His frightened niece picked up themp and ran away to the abandoned school. The fatty followed her and decided to end things. He raped his niece, killed her, and burned her body. Unfortunately, while burning her corpse, he was careless and dropped themp in the fire. Thats why the jademp looks like it was burned.


    But, when he discovered that the jademp was an otherworldly item that would bring endless bad luck to people, he decided to give it away. Thats why he sold it to you, exined the man in the Kumamon t-shirt.


    <em>What he said makes sense...</em>


    I wondered, However, theres one thing I dont understand. There are so many shops in that street, so why did the fatty decide to sell it to me?


    The man in the Kumamon t-shirt shook his head. I dont know yet. Perhaps that fatty is rted to the Longquan Vi.


    <em>Fuck, the Longquan Vi again!</em>


    My heart was in turmoil.


    <em>Who did I offend while doing business? Who wants me dead that badly?</em>


    <em>I must carefully investigate this matter, but I have to find a way to deal with the jademp first.</em>


    So, I asked the mysterious man, Is there any way to return the jademp?


    He hesitated a bit before saying, Thats easy. In a few days, Ill secretly ce themp back in the vi.


    I kept quiet. It turns out that the mysterious man was quite the schemer.


    The white cat led us all the way back to the abandoned school.


    The iron gate was locked, so we could only leave the car and find a way to climb over the wall.


    When the fatty saw the school, his face darkened. He probably had a guilty conscience.


    I red at him, which made him feel awkward. He rushed toward the mysterious man and asked, Is my nieces body inside this school?


    The man in the Kumamon t-shirt nodded and jumped over the iron gate, getting into the school. The fatty followed suit, but due to him being fat and slow, he failed several times before seeding.


    I grabbed Yin Xinyue, helping her over the gate before following.


    The school had been abandoned for years, and some of the rooms had copsed already. Weeds grew everywhere, and spiderwebs covered most of the ssrooms.


    There was no wind, but the weeds were still leaning to one side, and we could also hear an asional rustling sound.


    The mysterious man kept walking forward, following after the cat.


    Shortly after, the cat stopped in front of a toilet and sat on the ground, meowing in a mournful way.


    The mysterious man stepped forward and looked into the toilet, returning to us immediately after.


    There was definitely something inside the toilet. Out of curiosity, I craned my neck to check, getting a fright from what I saw.


    There was half a female body inside. The reason I said half was because her upper body had been burned until it was unrecognizable. As for her lower body, it was naked and covered with blood. It was truly a shocking sight.


    <em>A young, beautiful girl was tortured and killed inside</em><em>a</em><em>toilet</em>


    My heart ached.


    Yin Xinyues face paled from fright. She gritted her teeth and shouted, If we catch the murderer, we must shoot him dead!


    When the fatty saw the young girls body, he cried bitterly. If people didnt know the inside story, theyd definitely think that he loved his niece and was heartbroken.


    Seeing his performance, I felt nauseated and turned my head away.


    We put the girls corpse into a stic bag and ced it in the car. Along the way, I didnt speak much. I suggested a few times to report the matter to the police, but the man in the Kumamon t-shirt refused, saying that it would just cause us more trouble.


    Still, I felt sick at the thought of that beast freely roaming around without getting any punishment.


    The mysterious manforted me. Sooner orter, that guy will be punished for what hes done.


    After wed returned, the fatty seemed to be in a good mood. He paid the mysterious man 200,000 renminbi for the job, and even held a funeral for his niece to show how much he cared.


    When night fell, the man in the Kumamon t-shirt bid us farewell and carried off the jademp.


    Over the next few days, I paid special attention to the fatty. The mysterious man had already returned the jademp to where it belonged, and I was curious to see if the ghost in themp had found the fat guy and taken her revenge.


    One weekter, something really did happen to him.


    I was reading the newspaper like usual when I found an interesting news article.


    After reading the story, I couldnt help but gasp.


    A fire of unknown origin had spread in the fattys vi, burning him to death.


    Experts said that house owner experienced unbearable pain before his death. Hed crawled for ten or so meters while on fire and died right as he was about to reach the doorstep.


    <em>That</em><em>fire</em><em> i</em><em>t must be rted to the jademp.</em>


    A few dayster, another news report shook our city.


    A white cat wouldy in front of a girls grave every day, not leaving despite the wind or the rain. It seemed that it really missed its master.


    Some people recognized the white cat as the girls pet when she was alive, and the story of the white cat repaying the masters kindness began to spread around.


    Although cats and dogs werent as smart as humans, theyd repay the kindness of their owners even though they were no longer there.


    On the other hand, humans wouldnt hesitate to kill their own rtives under the temptation of wealth and power.


    They truly made us feel ashamed of ourselves!
