Daiyu probably thinks that the two of us are still in the cellar, and that everyone who knows her secret is dead. With such thoughts, Daiyu naturally would not run away, otherwise it would be even more suspicious. And when we found Daiyu, Daiyu was standing in the yard wearing a red dress at the moment.
She was wearing a bright red dress, circling in the yard, as if the yard was her stage.
I met Daiyu's eyes, and she was obviously taken aback when she saw that I was fine. But she still didn't stop her movements, she twirled and jumped in the yard, tossing and turning in the yard. Daiyu is dancing, and the movements look like ballet. A fiery red dress flowed with it, like shooting stars in the night sky, looking beautiful and moving.
Of course, if you don't look at her face.
"Swan Lake?" Guan Zengbin looked at Daiyu and said.
Gu Chen didn't care about this at all, and said: "Who cares about the swan or not, just take it back and talk about it."
I grabbed Gu Chen's arm, Gu Chen looked at me puzzled.
I said lightly: "Let her finish the dance."
After two cigarettes, Daiyu finally finished her dance. To be precise, it was because she tripped over the long skirt. This kind of action is not suitable for wearing a skirt with a skirt, let alone such a long skirt. Daiyu who fell to the ground looked at us sideways, and she said, "Let's go?"
"Let's go." I said.
Daiyu was taken back for trial.
The dilapidated house where Daiyu lived was thoroughly searched. In the kang where Daiyu slept, many bones were found. The forensic examination showed that these bones were all women, and the time of death varied. They should be the corpses of women who were stolen during the ghost marriage in the past five years.
Daiyu confessed that she killed Chu Mei. She killed those people who held ghost marriages, and she stole those female corpses. Before Lao Liu killed someone, it was Daiyu who used Chu Mei's name to record ghost voices for Lao Liu, and everything was done by Daiyu.
"But why are you doing that?" I asked.
This is Daiyu's story.
Daiyu's surname is not actually Lin, her real name is not Lin Daiyu, in fact she should be called Chu Daiyu.
When Master Chu and his first wife divorced, the first wife had just given birth to a child for Master Chu. This child is Daiyu, but Daiyu did not save Master Chu from wanting to leave. Master Chu left anyway, taking the six-toed child he picked up from the side of the road with him.
For twenty-seven years, Daiyu has never met her biological father.
When I was in elementary school, my mother remarried to a man named Lin. Her stepfather changed her surname, so she changed from Chu Daiyu to Lin Daiyu.
When she was in elementary school, she met her lifelong best friend, this person's name was Chu Mei. Chu Mei's surname is Chu, and Lin Daiyu's surname is actually Chu. For some reason, Daiyu has a natural affection for people surnamed Chu. So Daiyu and Chumei became good friends and best girlfriends.
Chu Mei told Daiyu that in fact her parents were not her parents, they were just her host family. She told Daiyu that she had no mother since she was a child, but only one father. Everyone called her father Chu Ye, and she didn't know his father's name.
Chu Mei told Daiyu that his father was a very mysterious person. He sometimes travels for several months, but every time he comes back, he will bring back some gold and silver treasures. Her father had an apprentice, who was not much older than her, but this apprentice did not go to school every day, but learned from his father what he didn't know.
Sometimes, Chu Mei saw this brother digging a hole on the slope.
Chu Mei joked that he was still playing with soil at such a young age, but the apprentice retorted that this was not called playing with soil.
Daiyu once asked her mother what her biological father did.
What a coincidence, Chu Mei's father also did this.
Daiyu thought, could Chumei's father be her own father
Daiyu's mother told Daiyu that it was because of Daiyu that her father divorced her. It's not that he doesn't love us anymore, but because he wants to protect us. Daiyu's mother told her that there will be many enemies in this industry, and Master Chu is afraid that the hatred of the enemies will be sent to us, mother and daughter.
Daiyu's mother told Daiyu that her father picked up a child on the side of the road, and the child had six fingers on his right foot. The father took her away and raised her as a daughter.
And the only purpose is that if there is revenge from the enemy, the resentment will also be directed at this child.
It turned out that the father raised others as daughters to protect himself.
Daiyu once asked Chu Mei if she had six toes, but Chu Mei shook her head and said no. Daiyu thought, how easy it is to talk about this kind of thing, maybe she had an operation when she was very young.
So they have always been good friends, because from Chu Mei's mouth, Daiyu can know her father's current situation. Knowing that her father is still silently protecting her, Daiyu is very satisfied. They went to elementary school together, middle school and high school together, and even went to college together.
That day, Chu Mei told Daiyu that his father had passed away.
Chu Mei cried very sadly, and Daiyu also cried loudly with Chu Mei. Others said that this is the real best friend, but Daiyu knew in her heart that her father had passed away.
The two decided to rush back as soon as possible.
It was early morning when they returned to the path.
Then they were pulled into the cornfield by the six brothers.
Chu Mei couldn't even cry anymore, she murmured: "Kill me, I don't want to live anymore, kill me."
It was night, and everything was silent.
Lin Daiyu sat paralyzed on the ground, watching her best friend begging to kill herself.
Chu Mei suffered the greatest misfortune in one day, and it seemed that all her luck was completely used up today. She is smart and kind, she is beautiful, and she is the goddess in many people's hearts. Before the age of twenty-two, Chu Mei never knew what misfortune was, and Chu Mei never knew what unhappiness was.
But today, the goddess of luck stayed away from Chu Mei.
Daiyu raised a big stone.
She looked at Chu Mei, and Chu Mei looked at her.
Then Daiyu called the police and lied.
Since then, Daiyu has been living with the guilt of killing her good friend with her own hands, but it was all requested by Chu Mei. She didn't want her best friend to die, but she didn't want her best friend to live in pain all her life. From then on, Daiyu became a little nervous and slovenly.
Master Chu died, and so did Chu Mei. Master Chu's funeral is handled by his apprentice, but who will take care of Chu Mei's funeral
This task fell to the family where Chu Mei stayed.
According to the customs of Bajia County, they will hold a ghost marriage for Chu Mei. Their purpose is very simple, as long as they are married, they can receive gift money. What's more, Lao Huang's family sent 300,000 yuan. The money naturally fell into their pockets. In fact, their surname was not Chu at all, let alone Chu Mei's parents.
Who cares
Someone cares, and the person who cares is Daiyu.
Daiyu naturally knew that these two people were not Chu Mei's parents, and also knew their ugly faces. Daiyu dislikes dark marriages the most, burying the two corpses together inexplicably, it's like letting two people who don't love each other forcefully live their lives. She decided that there would be no more ghost marriages in Bajiazi County, so that they would never dare to match ghost marriages again.
This ghost marriage made a huge impact, Daiyu got the news early, and they also invited Daiyu to participate.
On the support frame of the shed, Daiyu made some manipulations. A stretched fishing line was actually behind Lao Huang's neck. As long as Daiyu cut one end of the fishing line tied outside the shed, the stretched fishing line would fly forward. An extremely fast fishing line is no less than a sharp dagger.
The fishing line was very thin, and Lao Huang didn't notice it.
The ghost marriage started, and everyone's attention was on Chu Mei's body.
Lao Huang's head fell off.
A fishing line flew out and no one saw it.
The rest rushed out of the shed, and the flowing wind blew out all the candles on both sides. This helped Daiyu, and the night became her best protective color. Daiyu walked into the shed, and carried Chumei's body on her back. It was as if Daiyu had left with Chu Mei, who had a sprained foot, as she had done before she was alive.
Chu Mei was wearing a bright red dress, which looked very good.
"Let's go." Daiyu said softly.
A child hiding under a table saw the corpse come out by itself. Chu Mei's long skirt covered Daiyu's feet and the child's sight. He didn't see Daiyu, and from then on, Chu Mei's curse began.
Every time a ghost marriage is held, Daiyu will step in. Those who hold ghost marriages will be killed by Daiyu. No one ever doubted a neurotic woman, in fact, she is not neurotic at all. People are always used to believing what they see with their own eyes, but they don't know that eyes are the easiest thing to deceive themselves.
until five years later.
None of them knew that Daiyu was actually in the tomb.
During these five years, Daiyu could only place her grief for her father in his father's tomb. No one is more familiar with the structure of the tomb than Daiyu. And they naturally didn't know that Daiyu could hear Lao Liu's confession alone in the tomb.
It turned out that Master Chu didn't die because of illness at all, it turned out that Master Chu was killed by these few.
The six didn't know that Chu Mei had died five years ago, and they thought Chu Mei was still alive. So Daiyu took advantage of this and resorted to tricks. She used Chu Mei's identity to help the sixth child who wanted to kill the others, making them think that Chu Mei had returned.
Let the six brothers suspect each other, let them kill each other.
A case involving five years came to an end in Daiyu's soft-spoken narration.
A biological daughter, an adopted daughter, an apprentice who cried for the Zhajiang noodle restaurant, five apprentices with ulterior motives, and the tradition of ghost marriage for thousands of years, all kneaded together.
"Why do I feel sorry for Daiyu?" Guan Zengbin said just after he walked out of the interrogation room.
I nodded and shook my head.
I said, "Have you ever thought that there is another possibility for the case?"
