Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 583: Someone close" You are going to leave the matter alone like that?" Wu Jufen asked as she looked at Yu Dong who was walking beside her while humming a soft tune. "You don't seem like someone who would leave matters in the hands of others."          

    

" I don't have time to bother with the villagers," replied Yu Dong as she walked past the still muddy and wet paths of the village as headed straight to their houses and fields to see the damages that the flood caused. " I have another thing that is worrying me, and I have no time to worry about childish things like this which were why I do not wish to bother myself with them, after all, there is someone who is literally obsessed with the idea of killing mers."    

" I thought that it was just Xiao Hua," Wu Junfen said with her eyes slightly scrunched up as she looked at Yu Dong who shook her head and then said, " This is impossible you see, its true that the woman is after Xiao Hua but you need to consider one thing and that is why will one woman get so engrossed with the idea of making someone hers that she will forget everything and take their life if she could not have them? And did you not see the corpses that were piled one over another?"      

" I did see the corpses but was there anything that was sticking out of the peculiar?" Wu Junfen has indeed seen the pile but she did not think that there was anything out of the ordinary except the fact that all the people who were killed were mers.      

Staring in front of her Yu Dong, carefully remembered everything that she has seen and then said in a stern voice, " All the mers that were killed had light brown hair, with a mole under their eyes."      
Only then did Wu Junfen realise that there was one thing that she has forgotten to take notice of, when she went to see the pile of corpses, she only saw the condition of the corpses but she did not see the colour and the mole under the eyes of the mers given that there were a lot that she needed to worry about.      

" You mean to say," she asked with her eyes widening in surprise.      

" The person behind this most likely has something against a mer who had light brown hair and a mole under their eyes, which is why she is targeting the mers with the same characteristics, I mean there are a lot of mers in the village, if there was indeed a serial killer who was targeting them then every one of them would have been in danger but nothing like that happened, over the time the killer only targeted those whose features matched with the one she was targeting from the beginning."      

She paused before rummaging in her sleeves and taking the letter that the woman has sent Xiao Hua earlier and then handed it to Wu Junfen who took it and started reading the letter, once she was finished reading it, she spluttered and then grounded her teeth as her nostrils flared and she said, " This is simply annoying, how can someone be like this?"      

" That's the thing can't you see it? From the letter, it is clear that the person behind this is simply obsessed with Xiao Hua. The woman talks like Xiao Hua belongs to her, like it has been given that he belongs to her and going by what I am seeing in it, the person might surely be someone from the village and from the pile of corpses that she has left behind, someone who has lived in this village for a long time."      




" Then you bringing Xiao Hua must have brought him in the line of the target of the woman as well, right?" Wu Junfen asked as she looked at Yu Dong who shook her head. " It does not matter whether I brought Xiao Hua  here or not that woman already had her eyes on him, she would have definitely done something to him sooner or later."      

" What a freak," Wu Junfen muttered under her breath as she blew out a shaky breath. " I don't know who can this be, I have never seen anyone in the village acting peculiarly. To think that someone was able to hide for so long within us, it's scary just the very thought of it."      

She paused and then asked, " Do you have any idea who might be the one behind this thing?"      

" I don't," Yu Dong rubbed her chin as they approached her berry field that was almost half swept away. " I have been trying to look for some kind of clues that will lead me there but the thing is that everything that took place has happened years ago and there is really no evidence left behind and the woman is rather smart as well. But I did hear something about the woman named Pei Yuyan."      

Wu Junfen immediately pulled a face when she heard the name of Pei Yuyan and said,  " I have heard about her, she used to steal the toys of the mers and break them, there was also a time when she used to leave killed animals at the porch of those who made fun of her for being an orphan."      

" Was she caught?" Yu Dong felt the small hair on her neck stir as she looked at Wu Jufen who shook her head.      

" No, she was too smart to be caught but later on when she was adopted by Village head Gu's sister, those antics stopped and everyone thought that it was all because Pei Yuyan did not have anyone to guide her which was why she did something like that." Wu Junfen told Yu Dong who pursed her lips and then looked at the woman in front of her.      

Strictly speaking, Pei Yuyan was the perfect suspect but she was too much of a perfect suspect. It's as if someone wanted the villagers to target Pei Yuyan.    

Yu Dong inclined her head to the side and clicked her tongue, " I will take a look at this woman soon enough but first let's see what we have lost."
