Seeing how cooperative Fan Yu's aunt was, Chen Ge walked forward to pick up the painting from the ground.
On the white paper was a black house, and the house was filled with red people. At the spot where the red people refused to get close to, there was a very eye-catching black person.
"Is this what you mean by I'm in the painting? How do you prove it? "Chen Ge would not believe her just because of a painting.
"The people in Fan Yu's paintings have always been red. This is the first time I've seen a black person. After thinking about it for a long time, I confirmed that this black person is you because in the past month, you're the only outsider who has entered my home." Fan Yu's aunt stood at the corner of the toilet. The raindrops on her body fell to the ground, making a pitter patter sound.
"That's all? Then what do these red people mean? What's the difference between a black person and a red person? "
Fan Yu's aunt stood in the dark and looked at Chen Ge quietly. Just as Chen Ge thought that she was not going to tell him the truth, she suddenly said, "The red people represent ghosts, and this is the first time I've seen a black person. Perhaps they represent ghosts."
"Ghosts?"
"I know you don't believe me, but some things are hard to explain." Fan Yu's aunt's voice was calm. She seemed to have prepared what she was going to say. "Before Fan Yu's parents died, I knew that Fan Yu could see things that normal people couldn't. His parents knew that as well, but they didn't believe in ghosts."
"Even Fan Yu's parents didn't believe in ghosts, so why did you?" Chen Ge's curiosity was piqued.
"Initially, no one knew that Fan Yu had this power until my husband and two children died in a car accident. That was the darkest time of my life. Whenever I saw their picture, I would break down and cry. Whenever that happened, Fan Yu would come to me with his painting. There were two red people inside the black house, and he said that the two red people were his younger brother and sister."
There was a rare warmth in the aunt's eyes. "Initially, I didn't believe it. I thought Fan Yu was just trying to cheer me up, but as Fan Yu painted more and more, I started to waver. I found Fan Yu and asked him what his younger brother and sister were doing. He described them in great detail, including some of my children's habits that only I, as their mother, knew. "
"So, you believe that Fan Yu can see ghosts?"
"Yes, perhaps I also wish for all of this to be true. Sometimes, I even believe that my own child has possessed Fan Yu."
"Even if it's true, a painting alone can't prove anything. Does that mean everyone who is drawn by Fan Yu will die?" Chen Ge did not lower his guard.
"You can look at the other side of this picture."
Following Fan Yu's aunt's suggestion, Chen Ge flipped the drawing over. On the white paper was a drawing of a dry well. Inside the well, there were a few brighter red figures crawling out, and a black figure standing by the well. Interestingly, the position of the black figure on the back of the drawing was exactly where the black figure on the front of the drawing was standing.
"According to legend, this school has a well where many people have died. The ghosts inside the well are about to escape, and you are standing at the mouth of the well. They have their eyes on you. If you stay here any longer, something bad will happen to you." Fan Yu's aunt said sincerely. It sounded like she was truly concerned for Chen Ge.
Touching the paper, Chen Ge stared at the drawing for a long time. His brows furrowed slightly. He compared the two figures on the front and back of the drawing, and an answer came to his mind.
"Looks like I've misunderstood you." Chen Ge shoved Fan Yu's drawing into his pocket. He had no intention of returning it. "I'm about to leave anyway. At least we can keep each other company. This place is too scary."
"Yes." Fan Yu's aunt nodded and walked toward Chen Ge.
Chen Ge also seemed to trust Fan Yu's aunt completely. He turned to leave, exposing his defenseless back to Fan Yu's aunt.
The two of them walked one after the other, each with their own thoughts.
Chen Ge walked very slowly, gripping the mallet tightly in his hand. Fan Yu's aunt behind him seemed to be afraid of being left alone, so she picked up her pace. If anyone could see Chen Ge's expression, they would realize that Chen Ge's eyes were frighteningly calm.
The distance between the two closed. When Fan Yu's aunt was about to pass Chen Ge, the woman revealed a completely different expression from before. The veins on her face bulged, and the hand that was hidden under the raincoat suddenly reached out to stab at Chen Ge!
"I knew there was something wrong with you." Chen Ge's reaction was faster than her, and his attack was more vicious. He swung the mallet and followed it up with a kick.
"Bang!"
Fan Yu's aunt slammed into the back wall of the toilet, and the thing in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Chen Ge walked to the front, and it was then that he saw clearly that the thing that made the sound was a bone-paring knife. The knife was not big, and it was used to cut through bones and cartilage. It was very sharp.
With her hair disheveled, Fan Yu's aunt crawled up from the ground like a demon. However, Chen Ge did not give her the chance to attack him and 'helped' her lie down on the ground.
"When I was at your house, I knew there was something wrong with you, but I couldn't prove it. Finally, I've seen your real face."
The difference in strength was too great. Fan Yu's aunt tried several times, but she could not stand up. Her eyes that looked at Chen Ge were filled with hatred. "How did you find out?"
"From the beginning, I never believed you. And this drawing, the drawing on the back was forged by you. Do you think a child's drawing is easy to copy? Don't look at me like that. You're the one who made the mistake. If you don't want people to know, don't do it. " Chen Ge picked up the bone-paring knife and looked at the chilling blade. "You killed Fan Yu's parents, right? No matter what your motive is, killing your own family — how different are you from an animal? "
"I never wanted to kill anyone! You have no idea what happened that day! "Fan Yu's aunt's face was twisted like she was reminded of a very bad memory.
"I don't know what happened, but I know you're one of the killers." Chen Ge was considering how to temporarily incapacitate the woman.
"It was Fan Yu's father who killed them!"
"Pushing all the blame onto a dead man? Do you think that will clear your name? "After confirming that Fan Yu's aunt did not have any other weapons on her, Chen Ge relaxed.
