Xiang Wan inhaled sharply. “So what happened?”

“You know that I’m a simpleton...” Feng Kui lowered his head. “Sometimes, I’m really dumb. I don’t like to socialize with others and are very different from them. Because of me, my mom couldn’t hold her head up before others and he always hit me as well... I only got dumber...”

“No, you’re not dumb at all. You’re honest and kind.”

Xiang Wan’s eyes were filled with encouragement.

She looked at Feng Kui earnestly as if she really was someone he could trust.

Bai Muchuan looked at Xiang Wan’s expression and felt his heart miss a beat.

Maybe this was the reason why he liked her in the first place?

She seemed to give off a natural feeling of warmth and trust. Her gaze was firm and there seemed to be numerous stories hidden in her eyes, attracting another to explore...

“I’m not kind at all. I couldn’t bear to do her harm either...” continued Feng Kui, “He bought the girl for the sake of... for the sake of carrying on our family line...”

Xiang Wan’s gaze was slightly taken aback, but she didn’t interrupt him.

“No decent girl would be willing to marry me...” said Feng Kui, “No, even if it’s an indecent girl, she would not want to marry me. I’m almost 30 and single. My mom is worried and asked a lot of people to help introduce a suitable girl for me... In the end, he thought of this method.”

Xiang Wan felt speechless for a moment.

“When he brought the girl back to our house, she seemed like she had a mental problem as well. She looked like a simpleton... He even said that we were made for each other. He wanted me to sleep with her. So he tied her up and locked her in my bedroom...”

“And?”

“I was awake the whole night. I didn’t dare to do anything to her.”

As Xiang Wan heard Feng Kui giving an account of what happened, her heart sank.

“He forced me everyday, my mom did the same as well. I thought that as long as I refused... I can get away with it as they really couldn’t do anything about it. Who knows that he... that day, he drank a lot of liquor and barged into my room, locking me and my mom outside...”

Feng Kui’s eyes narrowed.

He didn’t want to recall that scene.

...

“If you can’t do it, then I’ll do it personally! Since I can’t get a grandson, then I’ll get another son!”

“Dad, dad, open the door...”

“You useless fool! Scram, scram as far away as possible! Don’t infuriate me!”

“Please, please, open the door... open the door!” His mom was also banging on the door desperately.

“Just shut up! Why are both of you shouting? You both want the whole family to go to jail?”

...

The screams back then filled his head.

An undesirable memory like this was difficult to put into words.

Although Feng Kui only said a few sentences about what happened, he took a lot of effort to explain what was going on.

“That night, he violated that girl. After that, he slept in my bedroom while both me and my mom sat on the sofa in the living room... Mom wept quietly the entire night...”

Silence.

Nobody talked for a long time.

Feng Kui stopped talking as well.

“Hell is empty, for the devil is in the realm of the living.”

Xiang Wan suddenly thought about this sentence and blurted it subconsciously.

“Yes, he was the devil... The next day when he woke up, he did not regret what he had done at all. Instead, he was very proud of it... He even told my mom that when he had successfully gotten another son, he would tell others that he had gotten a wife for his silly son. He would directly raise the son as the grandson and no one would know...”

Xiang Wan: “...”

Just what kind of abnormal family was this?

What kind of abnormal humanity was at work here?

“Consequently, he violated her many times. The girl resisted at first, but she kept getting beaten up and gradually stopped struggling. He let his guard down as well and would give her something to eat when he was happy. He even said that he felt like he was raising a sow. He had to feed her well and plump before she could have a baby...”

Feng Kui had said this very plainly.

As if the story had nothing to do with him.

Yet Xiang Wan was able to discern that there were tears in his words.

“I wanted to find an opportunity to let her escape, but she wasn’t sane, she treated me like an enemy... She refused to listen no matter what I told her. She didn’t want to leave when I left the door unlocked and even hit me with a stool or a stick... I was worried that she might create a ruckus that might attract the attention of the neighbors and in turn, the police... Therefore, I pushed her onto the bed and used a pillow to shut her up. I had wanted to persuade her slowly...”

He was trying to hold his tears.

Then he dropped his head and wept.

Xiang Wan paused for a moment. “Did she die?”

Feng Kui cried.

“She died...”

...

Lunar New Year was coming.

Everywhere in the Capital seemed to be filled with the festive mood.

In this narrow street forgotten by prosperity, there was a lack of the festive mood.

It had begun snowing at some point – no one was quite sure when it did.

Several police cars drove out of the city into a lane amidst the snow, and stopped by a secluded pond.

It was so cold that the pond had frozen.

A group of people came down from the police car, together with Feng Kui as he led them to a location.

Feng Kui walked slowly with his head down, bypassing the pond as he led the group of police officers toward a field covered by the snow. Their trousers were damp from all the walking as they were looking for the place that Feng Kui had buried the dead girl.

“It should be around here... I... don’t really remember.”

It was dark at night, and he was in a panic. How could he remember all those details clearly? Moreover, as it had been snowing for three days straight, everywhere was covered with snow at one glance, without any visible spot of reference.

Bai Muchuan’s line of sight followed where Feng Kui had pointed and went over to have a look.

“Bring the police dog!”

“Yes!”

A majestic looking German shepherd donned in a police dog uniform came over with a police officer.

It lowered its head and kept sniffing the area...

The winds in the area were really strong – as it howled and blew at them, their eardrums protested.

Xiang Wan felt cold, keeping both of her hands inside her pocket.

They were waiting...

Everyone remained quiet.

After about five or six minutes later, the police dog stopped at an area about 10 meters away from where Feng Kui had pointed and started to dig with its claws.

Bai Muchuan walked over and patted the police dog’s head.

“It’s okay now, Chicky! You’re awesome!”

A police dog by the name of “Chicky”?

Was that a joke?

Chicky gave a howl, as if unhappy with its name!

Yup, that was what Xiang Wan felt. The “unhappy” Chicky looked a little too ferocious for Xiang Wan. She did not dare to go near Chicky. She followed along slowly toward the spot that Chicky was digging earlier...

Bai Muchuan suddenly turned around to look at her. “Stand further away!”

Xiang Wan replied, “What’s up?”

Bai Muchuan answered, “There’s nothing interesting to see.”

Indeed, a corpse was certainly not something that was interesting to see.

Xiang Wan listened to him and stood at her position quietly.

...

Mei Xin was the one who came over from the Forensics Team.

She was wearing a thick mask and there was hardly any expression on her face. When she passed by Xiang Wan, she gave her a glance. However, she did not talk to Xiang Wan and did not show any expression.

Xiang Wan suddenly had a feeling. No one seemed to treat Mei Xin as a woman in Serious Crime Division One?

Bai Muchuan instructed everyone. “Everyone got to be very careful when digging for it!”

A group of men gathered at the spot where the police dog had dug. They used hoes and shovels to slowly dig through the snow and the earth...

Xiang Wan was standing not too far nor was she near the spot. She couldn’t exactly see what was inside the pit. She could only see Mei Xin’s white doctor’s coat clearly, as though it was integrated with the environment...

The snowing scenery was actually rather picturesque.

She was not that scared, actually.

“We found it!”

Someone exclaimed.

Xiang Wan walked over slowly.

Following everyone’s line of sight, she saw a hand which the officers had just found...

Mei Xin spoke calmly, “The corpse was severely damaged. Looks like it was dismembered. Everyone do take note of this!”

“Sure.”

Everyone continued to work.

Xiang Wan felt her stomach starting to feel uncomfortable and turned to ask Feng Kui.

“Why?”

Why did he dismember the girl after killing her?

Feng Kui lowered his head. “A whole corpse would be too conspicuous to carry around compared to a dismembered corpse.”

“...”
