Chapter 7

    It was another sunny day. Su Fengyu lay at home all day, and finally put on his uniform out of boredom and walked towards Jiamu.

    In the evening, it was time to make preparations. Someone pulled women’s revealing clothes from the hall, and several boxes of wine were unloaded from the truck. Su Fengyu and the others were all dressed up and were gathered together to be lectured.

    To be honest, Su Fengyu was a little tired of repeating this routine every day, so he was in a dazed state throughout the whole process. He was only stunned when he heard “Master Gui won’t be coming soon” and asked, “Why isn’t Master Gui coming?”

    Everyone did not expect Su Fengyu to ask such a question, and they all looked at him with interest.

    “Master Gui has encountered some trouble recently. As for what it is, please don’t ask or inquire.” The manager was a slightly oily middle-aged man. He looked at Su Fengyu with a slightly mean look, as if Su Fengyu was not worthy of asking such a question.

    After everyone ended the meeting, Su Fengyu pulled the waiter Chen Yusheng, who had a good relationship with him. After turning his eyes and realizing that no one was paying attention to them, he asked: “Yusheng, you must know what’s going on.”

    Chen Yusheng said mysteriously: “It is said that the fingerprints of the eviscerator happened to be on the murder weapon used in the murder case in the west of the city. In order not to cause trouble, both of them went to hide outside the country.”

    “Really?” Su Fengyu asked tentatively: “What happened to the family that was killed in the west of the city?”

    “They owed gambling debts and were disrespectful to the ghost master, so they were killed.”

    “Why are you disrespectful to Lord Ghost?”

    “Oh, they called him a gay who went through the back door in public. Master Gui couldn’t save his face, so he left in anger on the spot. But you also know that Master Gui wants to save face and suffer. People are talking about this kind of thing over their heads. How could they let go of those nonsense?”

    “Do you have any evidence?”

    Chen Yusheng looked suspiciously: “Evidence? Are you a police officer and you still talk about evidence? In Ruohe, ghost masters cannot be disobedient. Everyone knows this. They can just consider themselves unlucky.”

    Seeing that he hadn’t calmed down for a long time, Chen Yusheng put his arm on his shoulder, “Now everyone knows that you and Master Gui are having a fierce fight, and Master Gui also intends to take you in, so it’s really a miracle that your new husband is alive. Hey, do you think Master Gui will kill your husband by the way when he goes out this time?”

    Su Fengyu shook his head mockingly, “Lu Zeshen is at sea and is safe.”

    “What’s the point of safety? Those crew members risked their lives for a living. They were even worse off than us. A big wave would solve everything. Then there would be no need for the ghost master to take action.”

    Su Fengyu felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and looked out blankly like a hollow man. Chen Yusheng seemed to have seen through him and asked: “How long will it take for him to come back? Has he contacted you in the meantime?”

    Su Fengyu shook his head, “I don’t know anything, but I received this.”

    He took out a postcard from the inner pocket of his suit. It had some Arabic characters written on it and the complex and huge buildings in the area were printed on it. On the back was Lu Zeshen’s delicate handwriting.

    [We have arrived at our destination and will be able to go home in another month]

    Chen Yusheng snatched the postcard over, smelled it and said, “It smells so good. What does it smell like?”

    “It’s the smell of Shanghai salt perfume on Lu Zeshen’s body.”

    After Chen Yusheng read that simple sentence, he showed an expression of “What is this?”

    “Even people like my brother and sister-in-law who have never read can still say a few words when they are in a long-distance relationship. Are you sure Lu Zeshen is your husband?”

    Su Fengyu smiled and said: “We are indeed different from others.”

    “Basically, he’s not at home. If he was out there, you wouldn’t even know. Feng Yu, aren’t you afraid of getting hurt?”

    Su Fengyu looked at Yusheng with unclear meaning, and his eyes were still wary, as if his words had crossed the line.

    It has indeed crossed the line.

    Lu Zeshen was a prodigal who couldn’t even sleep in the marriage bed, so it was expected that he would find comfort outside.

    But he was stuck between advance and retreat. No matter how you looked at it, he was in a dilemma.

    Su Fengyu said seriously: “If one day he thinks that marrying me is a bad idea, I will cooperate with him unconditionally and divorce the marriage as soon as possible. And Yusheng, I am not easily injured at all, so don’t worry about it.”

    He spoke as if he was very transparent, but he still couldn’t help but regard Lu Zeshen as the object of analysis and looked through his circle of friends.The circle of friends set by Lu Zeshen was visible to all, but it was all over after a while. Among the few photos, two were of the sea under sail, and the rest were all of the aurora.

    Spectacular, quiet and endless.

    They reached a consensus on not announcing their marriage, and no one publicized it in their circle of friends. Lu Zeshen even posted an insignificant photo of leaves that day. They had no friends in common, so they couldn’t see other people’s comments, and they didn’t know what Lu Zeshen meant.

    Chen Yusheng snapped his fingers in front of him, “Wake up!”

    Su Fengyu put down his cell phone and asked him with interest: “After work, do you want to go to the west of the city with me?”

    “The old city is being renovated there, and it’s very messy. Isn’t it painful to go there?”

    “But I want to see the scene of the massacre. Don’t you think it’s exciting?”

    Chen Yusheng stared at Su Fengyu in surprise, “Do you find it exciting to see dead people?”

    “The scene must have been cleaned up. Who wants to see the body?” Su Fengyu looked like he really wanted to go, and his peach blossom eyes were sparkling. Chen Yusheng couldn’t resist it at first sight, so he had to check the public transportation route in the west of the city. After a while, he said: “There is a direct bus, Fengyu, do you really want to go?”

    Su Fengyu didn’t give him a chance to hesitate again. After taking the tray that the passing waiter put into his hand, he walked towards the private room and said with a smile: “That’s it.”

    It was already past midnight after get off work, and there were no late buses for a long time. Su Fengyu gritted his teeth, stopped a taxi, and said, “Go to Yuhua Lane in the west of the city.”

    Chen Yusheng was shocked: “How do you know which alley it is?”

    “I checked,” Su Fengyu shook his phone, “There is overwhelming information on the Internet.”

    “Are the names of Ghost Master and Eviscerator here?”

    “The eviscerator is on a wanted order, but the ghost master is not.” Su Fengyu showed Chen Yusheng the news sheet that said “providing clues to Luo Zhiheng for a fee” and said, “That’s ridiculous. How can you convict him based on his fingerprints?”

    Chen Yusheng touched his short hair and black earrings, and whispered: “The Eviscerator has too many criminal records and glorious deeds. It would be strange not to suspect him.”

    “Oh? What good things has he done?”

    “I killed two cops, and they were a couple. I was so frightened at that time that I almost ran away without caring about the life and death of Ngee Antang Hall.”

    “So Master Mi is a bit old?”

    “Hey, Feng Yu, why are you asking so many questions today? You must ask less about Master Mi. Even if someone takes the initiative to tell you news about Master Mi, you can’t show that you are very interested. He is a person who acts carefully and does not reveal his traces. He has a lot of eyes, so remember to keep your mouth shut.”

    Su Fengyu said “hmm” and unknowingly arrived at that house.

    The murder scene was sealed. Chen Yusheng immediately backed down and said, “Why don’t we just forget it? My footprints are left at the murder scene. What a big deal.”

    Su Fengyu: “Footprints were collected before the seal was put on. We are the ones who came later. Even if we are caught, just say we were just watching the fun.”
