"That was the first time I saw someone dying …" Li Fei said blankly. "Master's wife's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was full of blood. The wound on her neck was even worse. She just lay there, and soon, the ground was all red! But, master's wife's body was still twitching, and after a long time, she stopped moving … "
"Then, I saw Fourth Sister, Du Manting, cowering behind master's wife. She was so scared that her face was pale, and she had lost control …"
"I couldn't figure out where Fourth Sister got her strength from. She was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she managed to stab the evil woman's neck with a pair of fire chopsticks!"
"Master's wife stopped moving, and neither of us moved. Fourth Sister didn't put on her clothes, and I didn't get up from the ground! At that time, I felt that the whole world was dark! I didn't know what we had done, but it was like a dream … "
"But, master's wife was really dead! In the end, we had to solve the problem! " Li Fei swallowed his saliva, then said, "I was the boss, so I couldn't let Fourth Sister take the blame for killing someone! So, I told Fourth Sister to push all the blame onto me, saying that I was the one who killed her! Then, I ran away! I didn't take anything with me, and my head was still bleeding. I ran away just like that! "
"I don't know what happened to my family after that. After I went out, I ran for my life. I kept thinking that I would be a murderer in the future, and that I would never be able to return to Bai Ling or Nanjiang again! I wanted to run, I wanted to escape … "
"In the first few years, I relied entirely on the skills that my master taught me to survive, and I made a living by stealing. But, my skills weren't good enough, and I was traumatized, as well as the fact that I was involved in a murder case. Once I was caught by the police, I wouldn't have another chance! "
"So, I didn't dare steal from the streets, nor did I dare steal from the rich and powerful people's houses. So, my life was very difficult, as I was surrounded by homeless people, had no food to eat, and had no place to stay. "
"At that time, I realized that I urgently needed a job to make ends meet. However, for someone like me who had no status, it would be extremely difficult to find a proper job.
"But there's always a way out. In the end, when I was stranded in Jin 'an Province's Weiling County, I happened to see that the local funeral parlor was recruiting temporary workers.
"I thought that a place like the funeral parlor wouldn't be very strict, so I took the ID card that I picked up and went there to apply for a job!
"Places like funeral parlors often deal with dead people, and the wages of temporary workers aren't high, so no one competed with me. I started working on my first day there.
"My main job is to do odd jobs. I do almost everything. I help the undertaker, do makeup for the dead, clean up, cremate corpses, drive the funeral cart, and so on …
"It was at that time that I learned from an old master how to embalm corpses, put on makeup, and so on. That was the longest job I've ever had.
"After doing that for many years, I learned a lot about the funeral industry and how to deal with corpses. However, the funeral parlor's pay was too low. It couldn't meet my needs at all. Sometimes, I couldn't even pay the rent. To improve my quality of life, I would return to the county to do what I used to do when I had the time.
"My targets were the homes of ordinary people. Although I didn't steal much, I succeeded every time, so it was relatively safer.
"To ensure that nothing went wrong, not only did I scout ahead, but I always chose to take action late at night. At that time, people would be asleep, so even if I couldn't steal anything, I wouldn't be caught.
"However, one night, when I snuck into a merchant's house that sold mountain products, I realized that the family wasn't asleep. The mistress was burning joss paper in the backyard.
"At that time, I was already in the yard, so I couldn't run away. I could only hide behind her water tank and wait for an opportunity.
"Of course, I was curious. Why would the woman come out to burn joss paper in the middle of the night? Plus, when she was burning joss paper, there was an offering table and offerings!
"The woman was talking as she burned joss paper. Then, I finally understood that she was burning joss paper for her dead daughter! This woman … Mm … "
Then, Li Fei suddenly clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with an indescribable anger. He clenched his teeth and continued, "I never thought that the cruel woman would kill her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter with her own hands! She said it herself that her daughter had a congenital disease, so her family couldn't afford it. If her daughter was still alive, she would be a burden to them! Plus, because of the one-child policy, they couldn't have another son!
"So, she suffocated her daughter to death with a pillow while she was sleeping!" Li Fei slammed his fist on the table. He was so agitated that his eyes turned red.
"Tell me, is she still human? That was her biological daughter! "Li Fei roared." My master's wife mistreated us, but we weren't her biological daughter! At least, we could still fight back, but what could a one-and-a-half-year-old baby do? "
"It's not fair, it's not fair! This woman, just like my master's wife, doesn't deserve to live. She had to pay the price for what she did! So … So … "Li Fei said fiercely," I had the intention to kill her then! I wanted to kill her to avenge the poor baby! "
"I thought about it. Anyway, I was already a murderer then! I didn't mind killing one more! So, I hid there and waited until the woman finished burning the joss paper and went to sleep. Then, I sneaked into her house. It turned out that the woman was alone at home, which gave me the chance to kill her! "
"I didn't hesitate at all, and I smothered her to death with a pillow, just like how she had killed her daughter! At first, she struggled very hard, and she even scratched my arm with her nails. But, I didn't dare stop, so I smothered her for ten minutes, until her body stopped moving! "
"To be honest, after I killed her, I didn't feel any regret. I just thought that I must have gone crazy! What I did was completely a lunatic! I killed a person for a one-and-a-half-year-old baby! "
"Preposterous … Hehe … Preposterous? Hehehe … "
Li Fei laughed sinisterly, while the whole place fell silent.
Yeah …
Zhao Yu also asked himself, "Preposterous?"
"When I was learning martial arts, I often heard about how the police solved cases," Li Fei continued. "I felt that, if I killed someone, I would be caught by the police sooner or later!"
"So, in for a penny, in for a pound, I carried the dead body away! The woman wasn't heavy, so I put her in a woven bag, then dragged her to the wilderness. I wanted to dig a hole to bury her! "
"But, that place was too close to the woman's house. I was worried that, if I were to dig a hole to bury her, someone would find her quickly! I knew that the police had a police dog that could smell, so they could find her with just a sniff. "
"So, I ran back to the funeral parlor that night, drove the funeral car over, and brought her back to the funeral parlor."
"The funeral parlor is a gloomy place, and there was only one person guarding there, and that person was me!"
"Originally, I just wanted to burn the corpse and be done with it! But, when I got there, I realized that it wouldn't work. Once I lit the stove, the movement would be too loud, and it would definitely attract attention! "
"In the end, I started thinking about how I could get rid of the dead body safely, without the police finding it. I heard from my master that the police's biggest headache was not being able to find the dead body, or being unable to confirm the identity of the deceased! "
