36: Chapter 36 A Loving and Affectionate Family (Happy New Year!) 36: Chapter 36 A Loving and Affectionate Family (Happy New Year!) Among all the victims in the Human-body Puzzle case, Wei Youfu was the most peculiar one.
The murderer killed for beauty, and Wei Youfu was just too ordinary, there was nothing particularly pleasing to look at on him, and although it’s impolite to say, this is the fact.
Han Fei searched through all the online information, and according to the police forensic report’s conclusion, Wei Youfu’s death was completely accidental, he stumbled upon the homicide, and the murderer, panicking during their first murder, ended up killing him as well.
But so people on the internet held a different opinion, saying the murderer’s actions from committing the cri to escaping were ticulously planned, and any small mistake would have led to their capture.
Such a ticulous madman would definitely not overlook the existence of Wei Youfu, just like the murderer later killed Cui Tianci and Cui Caixi on the sa night, so people believe the murderer targeted Wei Youfu from the beginning.
They even think that the murderer chose to strike at Amay because of Wei Youfu.
The online discussions made so sense, but there was no evidence to support them, and initially, Han Fei did not pay much attention to them.
However, now that he had seen Wei Youfu in the ga, he gradually started to change his view.
Viewing Wei Youfu’s life as a whole, it was utterly ordinary, nothing extraordinary, without ever having done anything outrageous.
He deeply loved his wife and father, worked hard without regrets, and never complained no matter how exhausted he was, as if he was forever filled with hope for life.
Such a person did have a beautiful aspect to him, that was his heart, or perhaps his soul.
Han Fei did not know if the killer had targeted this aspect, he had no evidence, but he rembered the scene he saw when he first visited Wei Youfu’s ho.
It was a detail that he almost overlooked, he found many LEGO toys and various puzzles on a cabinet in Wei Youfu’s living room.
LEGO was an intellectual toy from years ago, these plastic bricks had studs on one side and holes to fit the studs on the other, with roughly 1300 different shapes, each shape available in several different colors, able to be put together into a myriad of models, earning the na “magic plastic bricks”.
As ti passed, fewer and fewer children played with LEGO bricks, but there were still so adults who liked to buy them for collecting.
It was possible that both Wei Youfu and the killer were puzzle enthusiasts, except that Wei Youfu put together bricks, while the killer assembled lives.
At a certain mont, Han Fei had a strange thought, could the killer be Wei Youfu?
Or soone who knew him very well?
After all, appearances can be directly seen with the eyes, model information can be looked up on the internet, but whether a person has a flawless beautiful soul, that conclusion can only be made after getting to know them deeply.
“Is the Human-body Puzzle’s killer a friend of Wei Youfu?”
While Han Fei was contemplating, footsteps ca from the innermost bedroom.
At 3:14 in the morning, the seventh victim appeared,
This print model called Gu Ye was once very famous in the industry, his body was said to have the golden ratio, but it was a pity that he had an accident at the peak of his career.
The man was saved, but his face was severely scarred, and after undergoing plastic surgery, his career started to decline steadily.
Among the seven victims, Gu Ye was the oldest, and his appearance seed to also herald the passing of the night and the impending upheaval.
After Gu Ye passed by the bedroom door, Wei Youfu also left from in front of Han Fei’s room, and all seven victims sat down on the living room sofa.
They sat with their backs to Han Fei, silently watching the TV.
The scene on the screen seed to correspond with reality, and Han Fei also noticed an issue.
When doing the task of watching TV, he watched an Underworld cartoon, with a very bizarre and abstract style, feeling just like a child’s nightmare.
At that ti, the monster standing behind was watching TV with , the seven victims were pieced together as one, they were out of control, savage, filled with despair and murderous intent.
Tonight’s situation was not quite the sa as back then, the seven victims appeared separately.
When they were not fused into a monster, they seed to maintain a certain level of rationality, at least they wouldn’t harbor such blatant murderous intent towards Han Fei as before.
Ti passed, minute by minute, and as the temperature in the room plumted to freezing point, the scene on the TV screen finally began to change.
In reality, Wei Youfu was still sitting on the sofa, but the Wei Youfu on the TV screen picked up the photo fra on the table and began to wipe it gently.
He pointed to the figure in the fra, leaned in close to Amay, and the Amay on the screen seed a bit shy trying to push him away, but after a few attempts, she gave up, seemingly scolding Wei Youfu in a whisper, but her eyes were full of happiness.
The other victims in the screen got up to do their own things, Xiao Qing enjoyed gourt food and cooking, Tianci and Caixi, the brother-sister duo, were bickering.
The brother, Tianci, could neither outtalk nor outfight his sister and was close to crying out of frustration.
The female live-strear, Zhang Lingfan, applied beautiful makeup in front of a small mirror, and the oldest among them, Gu Ye, took out a beer from the fridge, listening to music with headphones while chugging down the alcohol.
The TV was likely playing the only happy mories the victims had left.
This last bit of happiness was also slowly becoming blurred.
It seed like they kept watching because they didn’t want to forget.
They too had once owned happiness and bliss.
“When the Human-body Puzzle appears, the TV shows hellish programs from the Underworld, but when the victims are separate, the TV shows each of their own fond mories.”
Outside the Haunted House, the world was evolving toward an even more bizarre and dangerous direction, yet inside the Haunted House, it was calm.
Han Fei hid under the covers, silently watching everything, the more he understood, the more complex his feelings grew.
As an actor, he was an expert at observing others and very sensitive to emotional changes, which made him all the more empathetic to the victims’ current feelings.
“No one wants to beco a monster.”
Han Fei glanced at the digital clock on the wall, it was 3:30 AM.
The task of taking a bath required completion before 4 AM, leaving him not much ti.
When it reached 3:35 AM, Han Fei made a very bold decision as he slowly lifted the covers.
If one woke up in the middle of the night to find seven ghosts watching TV in the living room, most people would probably go mad with fright, so might decide to call the police, others might run out the door, or continue to huddle under the covers and pretend to sleep.
But Han Fei’s reaction was different from all of those options, he chose to walk out of the bedroom and watch TV with the seven ghosts.
It was impossible to communicate with the rged Monster, they could only understand each other when the victims were separate.
Having completed the task of sleeping and the ga ti exceeding three hours, Han Fei tried to keep a level head, then stepped out of the bedroom.
All seven victims were watching themselves in the TV, none paying attention to Han Fei.
He quietly sat down at the end of the sofa and, if one only saw his back, it was as if he fit perfectly among them.
Suffering from social anxiety, not good at speaking, and being an orphan himself, Han Fei never thought about how to communicate with family because he had never before experienced the feeling of a ho.
Leaning against the sofa, Han Fei didn’t disturb the victims watching TV, he just sat with them, watching along with them.
“On New Year’s Day I had dumplings at Granny’s house, I wonder if on New Year’s Eve, I will end up watching the Spring Festival Gala with these seven.”
