Chapter 53

  All electrical appliances fell silent, continuing to maintain their cold expressions, idly watching the night's bloody chaos.

  A pair of deep black eyes blinked calmly in the dark night.

  The second murder case in this old building.

  Mrs. Zhang collapsed in the living room. Her philandering husband came back in the morning, opened the door, and saw his wife kneeling on the floor, as if in a posture of atonement. But her head had already been split open by the falling ceiling fan, with half of her skull hanging in mid-air, connected to a bloody scalp, while splattered brain matter congealed on her body and the floor.

  The corpse emits a foul odor. Blood molds in the air.

  Mrs. Zhang died more miserably than Little Fatty. The onlookers who rushed over to watch the commotion were so frightened that they almost vomited out their internal organs. A pale-faced woman sat paralyzed in the corridor, muttering deliriously: "I'll never dare look at a dead body again in this lifetime!"

  The police came quickly to investigate the scene.

  The room showed no signs of an outsider entering. The cause of Mrs. Zhang's death was clearly the fallen ceiling fan. The fan was stained with the victim's brain and blood. It is estimated that no killer would use a ceiling fan as a murder weapon. The police soon came to the same conclusion as in Xiaopang's case: purely accidental.

  The forensic expert inferred from the wound of the deceased that when the ceiling fan fell, it must have been spinning very fast to produce such a great force as to split open the person's skull smoothly.

  Such an unexpected surprise is indeed rare.

  Moreover, after the forensic examination at the scene, it was found that all electrical appliances in the room were burnt out, indicating that the power load at that time was severely overloaded, and even the TV exploded. The shattered glass from the screen scattered across the scene, leaving only a blackened frame. At first glance, it seemed as if someone had crawled out of the TV.

  Just that morning, before the whole building was in an uproar over the discovery of Mrs. Zhang's body, Le Zi suddenly said to Youyou, who had a worried look on her face while eating breakfast: "Sister, don't worry, Mrs. Zhang won't scold you again."

  "Why?" she replied in confusion at the time.

  "I didn't know. Ah Lian told me last night. Mrs. Zhang is a bad person, Ah Lian doesn't like her."

  Now looking back, Youyou finally understood what those words meant.

  Xiao Pang is dead, and Mrs. Zhang is also dead. They were both people she really disliked.
