Chapter 325: Too Many Inconsistencies

Chapter 325: Too Many Inconsistencies

In his previous life, Xiao Yu had been fascinated by horror stories since childhood.

He also loved watching horror films.

So, he developed a somewhat troubled relationship with them.

They even left him with a lingering psychological shadow!

Isn’t that perfectly normal?

Humans are inherently complex creatures.

The more frightened they are, the more they’re drawn to these experiences.

It’s the thrill mingled with fear that excites them.

And before you know it, you end up with a lasting mental scar…

At that moment, Xiao Yu was listening intently to Feng Xiuyun.

He heard her recounting a horror story!

“Her entire body was ablaze in a vivid red,”

Feng Xiuyun’s face turned pale as she slowly continued, “Her shoes, clothes, hat, gloves… even though I couldn’t see her face, I was certain she was a woman—a woman with an impressively curvy figure!”

“But her strength was far beyond that of an ordinary woman!”

“In the video, I saw myself while unconscious and, just when a middle-aged man was about to do something to me, she appeared.”

“She held a long, sharp knife that pierced the man’s neck with a single thrust…”

“The middle-aged man thrashed wildly, trying to scream but failing, and then… that red-clad woman struck a second blow, wounding his eye… followed by relentless stabs into his stomach.”

“Ten stabs, twenty stabs… I lost count until he finally collapsed, twitching helplessly.”

“Her body was drenched in a spray of blood, merging with the striking red of her clothes… She crouched down, pressing the blade against the man’s chest…”

“Holding the knife in one hand and a hammer in the other—swinging it to smash the handle—the sharp blade dug deep into his chest!”

So it was like that… Xiao Yu nodded, his expression filled with doubts.

It perfectly matched the part of the story where the knife pierced the middle-aged man’s chest.

Stabbing someone in the chest empty-handed? That’s utterly absurd!

“But…”

Suddenly, Feng Xiuyun shuddered, her face contorted with terror. “After killing the middle-aged man, she even yanked the knife out with all her might!”

“She used that knife to tear the man’s skin and flesh right off his bones… stripping him down to nothing but a skeleton!”

“In the video, I watched in horror as she chopped his flesh and organs into tiny pieces—so fragmented, so disturbingly crude…”

“She then carried bags of the dismembered remains to the bathroom… and I even heard the sound of a flushing toilet!”

“I knew she must have washed his blood and flesh away. I… almost vomited at the sight!”

“Later, I saw her shatter his skeleton and pack it into a suitcase.”

“Then she meticulously cleaned the scene—every trace of blood vanished, not even a scrap of meat was left behind!”

“Afterwards… she took out a tablet and scribbled a few words on it.”

“Don’t thank me. He deserved his fate, just as you would have ended him!”

Feng Xiuyun’s face turned ghostly white as she trembled, “At that moment, I thought she must have come for him too. I even assumed her motive was just like mine—to avenge a loved one. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have worn head-to-toe red, not to mention those red high heels!”

“No, wait…”

Xiao Yu asked, “If you didn’t kill him, then what about the murder weapon and the iron block mentioned in your story?”

“I had originally planned to dismember him after killing him and then dump the remains in the sea.”

Feng Xiuyun managed a bitter laugh, “But my plan never had a chance. Reality is so different from imagination!”

Xiao Yu nodded in understanding.

That’s why the police found the murder weapon and the iron block without any signs of tampering.

Yet, Feng Xiuyun had deliberately manipulated the investigation by spinning her false tale.

It was all part of her plan to walk out of prison.

Could it be that the true murderer is this woman in red high heels, dressed entirely in red?

The question remains:

Why did she do it?

Is it really as Feng Xiuyun suspected?

Is this woman also out for revenge for a loved one?

Or did she merely happen to save Feng Xiuyun?

Otherwise, why leave behind that tablet and utter those final words…

0… Beg for flowers 0

Wait a minute… Xiao Yu’s expression suddenly darkened.

If she was killing purely for revenge, why record the entire murder process?

What device did she use to capture it?

And after recording, why leave the video for Feng Xiuyun to see?

What could possibly be her motive?

This is completely illogical!

First off, a normal person who kills—whether for revenge or sheer malice—would be utterly deranged to set up a whole video recording of the act.

Seriously, who does that?

Recording every detail of a crime?

It makes no sense at all!

Then… Xiao Yu coldly glared at Feng Xiuyun, “Where is the tablet?”

…………….

“I hid it,” she admitted.

Feng Xiuyun lowered her head and whispered, “It’s stashed on the ceiling rack in my bathroom.”

Without a word from Xiao Yu, Guo Qiang, his assistant, rose and exited the interrogation room.

“Why did you hide it?”

Xiao Yu pressed further.

“Because I initially believed that she, too, was driven by revenge.”

Feng Xiuyun gave a bitter smile, “At that time, I thought, since my sister’s revenge had been avenged and I was saved by her, why would I let her suffer again…”

“I see.”

With a severe expression, Xiao Yu explained, “So you concealed the fact that she recorded the murders, believing that the middle-aged man was the one who wronged your sister. You felt indebted to her for saving her, and you even planned to end both your sister’s misery and your own life. You never expected the judge to spare you. And then, by a twist of fate in prison, you learned that the murderer had struck again—only then did you realize something was amiss. You planned to get out of prison to investigate further, didn’t you?”

“Yes!”

Feng Xiuyun nodded in reluctant admission.

“So, aren’t you going to name the woman?”

Xiao Yu nearly cursed, “Just because she saved you?”

“Isn’t that reason enough?”

Feng Xiuyun met his gaze squarely.

Xiao Yu fell silent.

“A life-saving favor should be repaid in kind. What’s wrong with that?”

But now, the issue remains: that murderous woman.

There are simply too many questions surrounding her!
