Horror Mystery Answers

Answer: Winter had arrived. On one evening just before Christmas, an insurance salesman had just finished work, wearing a black suit, and was walking hastily along the street. Soon, he entered a large supermarket because he wanted to make sure to buy a Christmas gift for his lover in time. After carefully selecting, he finally chose a pure silver pendant engraved with a moon pattern. After leaving the supermarket, the salesman saw a girl crying by the roadside, with a bunch of keys hanging on her chest. Curious, the salesman went over to see what was happening. The girl told him that she had been walking her beloved little dog on the street when, unexpectedly, a car ran past and ran over the dog, which made her very sad. The salesman looked and indeed saw a dead little dog on the road, which looked quite unusual. He comforted the girl, saying that it was okay to lose a dog and she could get another one later. But the girl said that this dog was special and that this breed only existed within her family. Hearing this, the salesman immediately felt that the girl had some background and wanted to secure this potential client. To comfort her, he took out the silver pendant he had just bought and gave it to her. The girl was very touched and handed the keys hanging on her chest to the salesman, who quickly refused, saying that keys couldn't be given to others casually. However, the girl said that these keys were for the doghouse, and since the little dog was gone, the keys were no longer of any use and were meant to be a keepsake for the salesman. So, the salesman gladly accepted and put the keys into his suit pocket, while the girl wore the pendant.

When the girl returned home, the other family members were still out with their own business. She saw the doghouse in her room, and being reminded of her loss, she became sad again. She then took out a music box and played music. This music box was a gift from her boyfriend. A few years ago, the boy had started pursuing her, and they had been in a long-standing relationship, very close in feelings. On her birthday this year, the boy gave her this music box and told her that it had been given to him by his grandmother when he was young. Although worn, she was deeply moved. The girl was absorbed in the music and, unintentionally, raised her hand causing the music box to fall to the ground, shattering into pieces, and the music abruptly stopped. The girl hurriedly picked it up, but it was already beyond repair.The girl felt both regretful and sad. Suddenly, she noticed that inside the music box was a half-broken old photo. Looking closely, it was very blurry, resembling a dog's image, just like her recently deceased puppy. The girl immediately understood that she and the boy she loved were from the same family, meaning they could never marry. The girl couldn't bear this reality for a moment, terrified and shocked, and suddenly collapsed and died.

At that moment, a figure flashed in through the window—a middle-aged man. This man was a recently retired veteran. Since he had no livelihood after discharge and the New Year was approaching, he had drunk at night and, on impulse, wanted to break into the house to steal some valuables. The veteran entered the room and suddenly found the girl on the floor. Overcome with lust, he couldn't help but rush forward and stripped her naked. When only the last green underwear remained, the veteran saw the girl's body and immediately became excited. Fueled by alcohol, he forgot everything and prepared to go all out. Unfortunately, he was already old, so he took a few ## pills from his pocket. Having just finished drinking and feeling thirsty, he grabbed a bottle of cola from the table, put the medicine in, and shook the bottle. Just as he was about to drink, the veteran suddenly realized the girl was already dead. Panicking, he clutched the girl's body and clothes and fled in panic, preparing to destroy the evidence. Although it was late, there were still some pedestrians on the road. Seeing he couldn't take the body away, the veteran threw the girl's body into a corner by the roadside and threw all his clothes into the trash bin. Not far ahead, the veteran suddenly remembered the girl was wearing a green undergarment that might leave his fingerprints. He rushed back and yanked off the clothes. At the same time, the pure silver pendant engraved with a moon pattern on the girl's neck was also pulled off and fell to the ground, but the veteran didn't notice. Suddenly, voices came from afar. In his panic, the veteran stuffed the torn underwear into his pocket and fled in panic.
At that moment, a boy crawled in through the window of the girl's home—it was her boyfriend. It turned out that although they had been in love for several years, they were still young and worried about family opposition, so they secretly dated without telling their families. The boy knew that the girl's family was out for business today and would be back late, so he sneaked in.However, he did not see the girl and was very disappointed, wanting to wait a little longer. Out of boredom, the boy flipped through a drawer in the living room and saw a note inside, on which a British flag without colors was drawn, and the name on the note was exactly the same as his father's. The boy found this quite strange, because his father was indeed a British doctor. At that moment, suddenly, there were voices at the door. The boy closed the drawer and hurriedly escaped through the window.

The people at the door were the girl's family. The girl's mother was a young woman who loved sports. Some time ago, she had broken her leg while playing ball. Today, her parents and brother went to the hospital to take her home. The four of them returned home, but not seeing the girl, they all assumed she had gone to a friend's house, so they did not pay much attention and began preparing the dinner to celebrate her discharge. Later, while the family ate and drank, suddenly the uncle said that the Coke tasted a bit strange today. The young woman was unconcerned and mocked him, saying that because he was a doctor, he liked to be suspicious. However, after her parents drank it, they also remarked that the Coke indeed tasted off. The young woman was actually not a principled person; she had been having an affair with a man outside and often consumed ##, so she did not notice the unusual taste in the Coke and insisted that it tasted normal. Not long after, the family, having eaten and drunk fully, left the parents and brother at the door.

The boy returned home, feeling more and more puzzled. His mother was a Japanese English teacher, and he had always been proud of being mixed-race since childhood. At that moment, his mother was not at home, so he looked through the teaching materials she had prepared for class and suddenly found an old note with a British flag without colors and his father's name. He instantly felt that he understood: his father was having an affair with another woman, and the girl he loved was, in fact, his half-sister. The boy was stunned, overwhelmed by fear and anger, and rushed out of the house. Actually, the boy had misunderstood: his father was only the girl's uncle. Later, the boy's father returned from the girl's house. Having accidentally consumed ##, he was venting alone in his room. At this moment, the boy returned home, saw his father's disgraceful behavior, and became convinced that he was not a proper person. In a burst of rage, he grabbed a sharp blade and ended his father's #life with one stroke.The salesman returned home and suddenly received a call from an old lover, who happened to be the girl's mother. It turned out that, although she was a married woman, due to her husband being away for long periods, she had been involved with the salesman. Some time ago, she had fractured a bone while exercising, so the two had not met. Today, she was discharged from the hospital and returned home. After dinner, she sent her family away and immediately called her old lover. Upon receiving the call, the salesman quickly put on his clothes and rushed over. Fearing that her daughter might come back suddenly, the young married woman and the salesman went into the bathroom, took off their clothes, and got into the bath, ready to have fun. By mistake, she drank ##, which caused her to ##, and the salesman could not handle it at once. In a panic, he rushed out of the bath and accidentally knocked a watch placed by the tub into the water. Trying to grab the salesman, the young woman exerted too much force, and the bone that had just healed broke again, causing her to faint from the pain. The salesman paid no attention to her, retrieved the watch, hurriedly put on his clothes, and ran out the door. Stumbling on the road, he fell, landing in the mud, covered in dirt and wet. Already in a bad mood, he angrily took off his suit and casually threw it into the trash can. The poor young woman had fainted in the tub and ended up drowning to death.

As for the old soldier, in a panic, he went to a tavern, drank heavily, then returned home. He vomited in the toilet, then took a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his mouth, and threw it into the toilet before going to bed. His old partner saw him reeking of alcohol and became very angry, hitting him with a pillow repeatedly. The old soldier, however, showed no reaction. His partner, both angry and heartbroken, threw the pillow to the floor, packed her things, and returned to her parents' home. In the middle of the night, the old soldier woke up, noticed his partner was not beside him, and the pillow had fallen on the wooden floor. Confused, he went to the toilet and discovered a very small green piece of clothing on the toilet, which he had mistakenly thought was a handkerchief and used to wipe his mouth. Suddenly, he realized it was the clothing from the body of the girl he had stripped earlier. With the effects of the alcohol gone, he regained full awareness, recalled his heinous acts from the night before, and was so shocked that he died on the spot.

The next day, the police found the girl dead on the street, covered in ##, and also discovered a pure silver pendant. Using this clue, they traced it back to the salesman.Because the salesman had a criminal record, he was repeatedly interrogated by the police. However, due to insufficient evidence, he was allowed to return home. After returning home, he suddenly remembered the key the girl had given him and realized that he had left it in that black suit, which he had already thrown away, so he had to give up. As usual, he went online to chat and suddenly noticed that a netizen's avatar was a dirty black suit—the very suit he had. Worried that it could become evidence and cause him trouble, he immediately rushed out to buy a suit of the same style but in white. After returning, he told the netizen online that besides insurance, he also sold a detergent that could not only clean dirt off clothes but also turn black clothes white, and that it could be tried for free. He knew the netizen's clothes were found, so the netizen would certainly be happy to turn them white. He persuaded the netizen to send the clothes to him and cleverly exchanged them with the white suit. After the netizen left, the salesman was congratulating himself on the success of his scheme when suddenly the company notified him to go on a business trip to a country on another continent. The salesman hated flying and dealing with jet lag, but had no choice. On the plane, he saw a news report that a young married woman had died in a bathtub, with the time of death recorded as 7:12 PM last night. After getting off the plane, he suddenly realized the time zone had changed and needed to adjust his watch, only then noticing that his watch had stopped. He guessed it had stopped when it fell into water last night. Looking closely, it was stopped exactly at 7:12. At that moment, he realized that the woman in the news report was his lover, and he cried and committed suicide.
