Chapter 378: Tu Yunmeng's Confession

Chen Shi glanced out of the projection room’s window . A romance movie was currently being broadcast . Judging from the protagonist's crying, it should have reached the climax .

The cinema hall was really small and only had ten rows of seats with a few people sparsely seated inside .

"How did you two meet?" Chen Shi said .

"Last month she came and watched a movie at night . It was a boring literary film . I saw that she had watched it with great interest . She was still watching when the ending credits came on . . . Our movie theater is small, and I work as a cleaner as well . When I went down to clean up, I said, "Miss, it's over! This is the last movie of the day . " She said, "What’s the earliest time that I can come and watch tomorrow?" I said that she had to wait until 10 in the morning . She looked quite disappointed when she heard that . "

"She only came once?"

"Yeah . . . Just once . "

Chen Shi showed him the movie tickets, "She came four times . The last time was two days ago!"

Little Zhou said awkwardly, "Maybe I didn't notice her! Or I wasn’t at work . "

Chen Shi pointed at the projection room’s window . "How long has this movie been playing for?"

"About an hour . "

"It has only been raining for forty minutes outside . You went out halfway through and your clothes got wet . Did you pick someone up? Is Tu Yunmeng here?"

Little Zhou gulped and suddenly rushed towards the door . However, he was stopped by Chen Shi . Lin Dongxue took out her handcuffs but Chen Shi stopped her and said, "Leave the handcuffs for her . . . Take us to her!"

"You must be mistaken! How could such a gentle girl kill someone!" Little Zhou anxiously defended her .

"It looks like you know her quite well . Take us to meet her!"

Lin Dongxue warned, "We can arrest you as well for sheltering a criminal . "

Little Zhou looked pained, sighed, and then led the two people out of the room and to his dormitory . Little Zhou knocked on the door and Tu Yunmeng, dressed in boy's clothing, opened the door in high spirits . Her expression was like that of a young girl in passionate love . When she saw the two people standing behind Little Zhou, her expression quickly dimmed .

Little Zhou said despondently, "I'm sorry . . . "

Chen Shi noticed that Tu Yunmeng's eyes were very big and bright, and that there was a wound on the right side of her lip that was about to heal . “Come back with us . ”

When they took the suspect back to the bureau, Lin Qiupu said excitedly, "This is great! The case is finally solved!"

Chen Shi said, "Let Dongxue and I interrogate her!"

"Go ahead . Don't talk nonsense during the interrogation though . "

The two sat in front of Tu Yunmeng and her eyes seemed dull . Her pupils seemed unable to focus . Chen Shi asked, "You can't see anymore?"

Tu Yunmeng nodded, "I couldn't see when I got into the police car . "

"When you killed the second person, your DNA was left in the nails of the victim . In the case on June 13th, the deceased drugged you, and a policewoman just took you for a urine test . The results will come out shortly . Furthermore, from the evidence we're about to find in your house . . . In short, the evidence is solid and you don't have to hide anything from us any longer . "

"Will I get the death penalty?" Tu Yunmeng asked blankly .

"I can't say for sure, but it's quite possible!"

Tu Yunmeng smiled, "I wonder if my eyesight will suddenly be restored when I’m getting executed . I think it’s something to look forward to!"

"It seems your eyesight does come back . So, it's true! Let's talk . "

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "The first murder was about a year ago . When I was about to close the store that day, a man suddenly ran in and pinned me down on the ground, tearing my clothes off . I picked up a fruit knife that had fallen to the ground and stabbed it into his neck fiercely . When his artery was cut and the blood spilled out, it made a whistle-like sound as it splashed warmly on my face and my eyes . . . What was unbelievable was that I could see it! Of course, I was calm . I knew that when the corpse was found, I’d have to go to jail, so I immediately closed the door, cleaned the scene, chopped the corpse into small pieces, and threw it into the trash bin in a nearby district overnight .

"Which neighborhood?" Chen Shi interrupted her .

"Near Wuyang Road . I’ve forgotten . "

"The corpse dismemberment case on the 22nd of April was done by you?" Chen Shi asked .

"The police never found out . In fact, they came and questioned me, but they didn't expect that the killer would be a blind woman . . . The recovery lasted for two days . As the adrenaline slowly subsided, things in front of me dimmed again . I had adapted to the darkness, but when a light suddenly appeared in front of a person who had adapted to the darkness, the darkness became extremely painful . I wanted to seize this light . . . I began to craft a thorough killing plan . I'm blind, so it’s a hard task for me . I couldn't be sure how tall or strong the person I would kill was . I wouldn’t even be able to confirm if there would be other people around when I did it . I wouldn’t be able to know if the lights were turned on . . . Whenever a child entered my bookstore alone, I would be tempted, but I couldn't do it . If I were to kill people, I would only be free from guilt if it was a man . ”

"In the period after that, I tried to walk around in an area where the law and order wasn’t good at night . As a result, I heard hooligans coming over in a group, but I was so scared that I was the first to run away . . . If I wanted to kill someone, the other party must live alone and it had to be a stranger . . . After some thinking, I could only go the online route . It was easier to find strangers who qualified online . I did think about giving up, but the experience of light was too seductive, and the moment my eyes recovered, this colorful world would overflow . Once I knew about this method, I couldn't stop!”

"After long experimentation, I finally found the right person . The man said he didn't mind that I was blind and said that he wanted to invite me to his house as a guest . I agreed . When he was getting intimate with me, I felt his heartbeat with my hand and then ruthlessly stabbed him . I was able to see everything with my eyes . I squealed happily . It seemed like I had superpowers all of a sudden… After making sure that he was thoroughly dead, I cleaned up the scene . Before this, I had made a lot of plans regarding what I’d do when everything was over, but unfortunately, it was in the evening, so I could only go to watch a movie . ”

"I met Little Zhou at the movie theater . He was a very clean and shy boy . He talked to me about many movie topics . Looking at another boy smiling at me made me feel very happy, but I wasn’t sure how long my eyesight would last this time . Originally, I just wanted to experience it again and stop so that the police wouldn’t find out, but I couldn't help myself . As my eyesight faded again, I searched for new prey online . . . I knew that as long as I killed them, I could happily watch another movie and talk to Little Zhou . . . You won’t understand that kind of happiness!"

When she said that, Tu Yunmeng displayed an eerie smile .
