Chapter 92 The Strange Killing (2/2)

When Zhu Wei ran into the bamboo forest where Su Yizi was hiding, Su Yizi cut the rope that was used to fix the slingshot.

That slingshot catapulted a big stone of more than thirty kilograms… It hit Zhu Wei and killed her.

Then, Su Yizi rushed to the stone and wiped the blood. After that, she pushed that stone into a hole that she had previously prepared and buried it in one minute.

Finally, Su Yizi used a spade to cut off Zhu Wei’s legs; then she wrapped them in an oilcloth and buried them under a tree.

After this, she called her roommate, saying that she saw a car knock Zhu Wei down when she was preparing to run with her in the evening.

Zhu Wei died from more than ten fractures in her upper body after being hit by the big stone.

So, according to Su Yizi, it was not suspicious… Everyone else assumed it must have been the car that caused those fractures on her body.

Of course, Su Yizi was a terribly careful girl. She researched car accident photos on the internet and found that there were always tire marks at the scene of the accident.

Therefore, Su Yizi had used the spade to make a few ruts in the ground. The traffic police even sent out an arrest order after calculating the tire size and its speed according to the rutting.

It was the so-called “dark humor”.

I felt a chill run down my spine… What other university student could be this cruel and malevolent?

Su Yizi said: “I made an erhu from her leg bones… Its tune is excellent, and it is much better than any instruments made by masters that cost hundreds of thousands.”

“Well, more than excellent… it has a soul.” Su Yizi asked me: “Do you know why I got so many awards?”

I asked her why.

She laughed and said: “That’s because the judges thought there was soul in my music… My music was so special and valuable; it couldn’t be played by humans… Of course, I couldn’t do it either… But I knew it was my roommate’s soul… She was crying there.”

Then she continued: “Do you know? I was so excited I wanted to cry when I heard the music of that erhu for the first time… My god, it was really the sound of nature. I played the erhu for a while and then I knew - I needed a drum. A human face drum.”

She was very good with drums. Now that she had made that erhu that could produce the sound of a soul, she wanted to get a human face drum mixed with the sighs of souls.

“So you planned to kill your second roommate?” I asked her.

Ha ha ha ha!

Su Yizi didn’t speak, but laughed with a very insidious look.

This time, her laugh made us get goose bumps all over.

I asked her: “How did you remove your roommate’s face?”

I heard from Su Yizi before… Her second roommate drowned when she was swimming, but when the rescue team pulled her up, they found her face was missing.

How did Su Yizi manage to remove the facial skin while the person was swimming?

It was not easy to do anything underwater, right?

When I asked her, Su Yizi laughed and said: “I didn’t remove her facial skin while she was swimming… I tricked her into coming to the riverside and knocked her out; then I tied her to a tree and removed her facial skin.”

“Maybe you don’t know… She woke up while I was removing her face… She begged me for mercy again and again, but how could I give up? Never! She fainted again because of the pain.”

Then Su Yizi untied the second roommate’s rope, pushed her in the river, and drowned her.

When she was asphyxiated, Su Yizi pushed the body into the current.

Then this roommate rolled several meters and sank to the bottom of the river.

Su Yizi told me: “Actually this was not enough… The reason I have never been found out all these years… is because I spread the rumor of the Fox Empress’ curse and I spread the theory of ghosts and gods around campus.”

Then it spread by word of mouth and everyone knew my dormitory was cursed by the Fox Empress. None dared to enter and live there… and the other roommates were also anxious and fearful.

Many people believed in the curse of the Fox Empress.

It was not long before I killed the fourth roommate and made the sanxian from her hand tendons…

She asked me: “Why did I drink the corpse oil and turn to you? Well… That’s easy to explain. Now that all the roommates are dead and I am the only one alive, others might suspect something. I drank the corpse oil so that I got the livor mortis all over… Then I could get rid of this livor mortis with your help… Ha ha ha, then I could be the only person alive under the curse of the Fox Empress. As a result, I could use those instruments and enjoy applause and flowers for the rest of my life, right?”

I nodded. She is a big liar. The more she tries to hide, the more she is exposed.”

“But you're really a difficult man to deal with… It would have been good business. You ‘cure’ me and I stop drinking corpse oil, and those spots would be removed. Then you’d get recognition for working with a star like me, and I would erase all remaining suspicion. It was a win-win strategy.”

Saying this, Su Yizi shouted suddenly: “It should have been a win-win strategy! Why did you have to change it into a lose-lose?”

My face muscles trembled a little. I didn’t care about a win-win or a lose-lose. l asked the last question: ”Why did Zhu Wei’s fox appear in your dream?”

In the ghost story of fox spirits and musical instruments made of human body parts, this was the most mysterious facet.
