Ma Fubiao, director of the Urban Construction Bureau, likes to video chat with beautiful women. Recently, his wife went back to her parents' home to recuperate, and his daughter went to college in another province. He was alone at home, so he just turned on the video to chat with beautiful women. On this day, a female netizen entered Ma Fubiao's video again. Unexpectedly, she was wearing a ghost-like mask on her face, revealing only a pair of unfathomable black eyes. Why didn't the other party reveal her "true face"? Does she advocate alternative or has some defects on her face? In order to clarify the situation, Ma Fubiao deliberately said in a teasing tone: "Wow, the beauty is so cute with a mask on, can you take it off and get to know her?"
After a burst of silver bell-like laughter, the other party opened his red lips and said, "I am very happy to meet Director Ma! My last name is Zhu. I heard from the sisters that Director Ma is very graceful. Let's make friends. Please take care of me! As for this mask, I think it's better not to take it off for the time being. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'The most beautiful scenery is on the top of the mountain'? Making friends is like climbing a mountain. Only when you reach the top of the mountain can you see the wonderful scenery. Don't you agree…"
"Ah, Miss Zhu is full of witty remarks! Then let's go to climb that mysterious mountain together. I think Miss Zhu will definitely give me an unexpected surprise then, right? Haha…" Ma Fubiao praised the other party in an ambiguous tone. Since he became the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, many women have approached him, either seeking money or wanting to take advantage of his power. This masked woman not only knows his situation, but also joked that "the most beautiful scenery is on the dangerous peaks". There must be a purpose for this, right? At this moment, Ma Fubiao has already had wild thoughts…
Then, the two chatted in a mysterious atmosphere. To Ma Fubiao's great surprise, Miss Zhu not only had a sweet voice, but also had a wide range of knowledge, ranging from the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to Leslie Cheung's gay film, from the matriarchal society's fertility view to the new marriage of equal status in the 21st century… Although the topics were wide-ranging, they were closely centered on the theme of "love and sex" that Ma Fubiao was very interested in.
"Ah, Miss Zhu is such a knowledgeable and talented lady! I wonder when I can meet you, Miss Zhu. It will be my blessing in this life, haha…" After talking for a while, Ma Fubiao couldn't wait to invite the other party to meet offline.
"Okay, I also want to see you, Director Ma! Come to see me at 444 Huancheng West Road at 9 o'clock tonight. I'll be waiting for you there. See you there."
Ma Fubiao looked at his watch and saw it was already 8:30 in the evening, so he quickly turned off the computer, changed his clothes, and went out happily.

Ma Fubiao drove his Audi to the place designated by Miss Zhu. He was stunned when he looked up: No. 444, Huancheng West Road, was actually a funeral home! Why would Miss Zhu choose such a place for a tryst? Is there any other place for a tryst nearby? But when he looked around, there was only such a daunting funeral home. After looking for a while, he still couldn't see the beauty, so Ma Fubiao had to return in disappointment. After returning home, he quickly went online to dial Miss Zhu's QQ number, but he couldn't get in touch. It was not until the next night that he saw her beautiful figure on the video. She was still wearing a mask, but the difference was that she wore a beauty mask that day, and a hideous devil mask yesterday.
"Director Ma, I was waiting for you there for a long time yesterday. Why didn't you come? How could you break your promise…" Miss Zhu said in a slightly reproachful tone.
"Ah, I drove my car to see you last night, but I didn't want to see you in person…" Ma Fubiao didn't dare to say such an unlucky word as funeral home to the beautiful woman, for fear that it would affect each other's good mood.
"Is that so? Director Ma, maybe you can't recognize me without the mask? Can I make an appointment to meet you at another place tonight? Now take a good look at my mask. I look almost exactly the same as the mask I'm wearing now. As long as you remember the appearance of this mask, you can recognize me, um…" Miss Zhu said with a pair of charming black eyes flashing.
Hearing what Miss Zhu said, Ma Fubiao's heart suddenly surged with joy. Maybe what happened last night was really as she said, and he didn't recognize her, so he quickly took a closer look at the mask on Miss Zhu's face. Today, Miss Zhu wore an enlarged color photo of a beautiful woman on her face. Ma Fubiao suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but remember a woman… More than a year ago, he met a female escort named Zhu Yan through online chatting. Later, she became his secret lover. Later, she became pregnant with his child and clamored to marry him. In order not to expose this scandal, he first used sleeping pills to make her sleep, and then threw her on the railway track to create the illusion of suicide by lying on the track. This matter was done perfectly, and the public security department has no way to investigate it so far. Why did this woman suddenly appear in the video wearing Zhu Yan's photo today?
"Director Ma, what's wrong with you? You should remember my appearance now, right? I'll be waiting for you at the intersection of the West Railway Station. We really won't go anywhere this time…"
"Meet at the intersection of the West Railway Station…" Miss Zhu's words pierced Ma Fubiao's sensitive spot like a sharp sword. The "suicide by lying on the railway tracks" he created was exactly on the tracks near the intersection of the West Railway Station. Now the other party suddenly proposed to meet him at the West Railway Station, and she was wearing a photo of Zhu Yan. Who is this woman with the surname Zhu… Ma Fubiao didn't dare to think about it anymore. He was usually superstitious about ghosts and gods, but suddenly he felt that there seemed to be a negative energy in the video, and he shuddered.
"Ms. Zhu, Ms. Zhu, may I ask what your name is? And how old are you…" Ma Fubiao asked cautiously, wondering in his heart: Could she be the ghost of Zhu Yan who died a violent death?
"Ah, Director Ma, it's getting late. I think I'd better tell you all this when we get to the meeting place. There you can see the fastest bullet train today, hehe…" she said implicitly in the video, and then laughed.
"Well, let's meet there…" Ma Fubiao said as he quickly turned off the video. He felt his heart still pounding. Miss Zhu's words "bullet train" were like a bullet that hit his soul… Who is this woman? Why did she appear in the video wearing Zhu Yan's photo? Why did she ask him to meet at the place where Zhu Yan died tragically? Could she really be the ghost of Zhu Yan who died tragically? Ma Fubiao, who always believed in ghosts, became more and more scared the more he thought about it…

Night had already fallen, and Ma Fubiao drove towards the West Railway Station with courage. Through the street lights, Ma Fubiao found a young woman in a white dress and long hair standing at the intersection. Miss Zhu had indeed arrived as promised. When he saw the woman's face clearly from a close distance, Ma Fubiao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: this woman was none other than Zhu Yan who died a violent death! Although more than a year had passed, her voice, appearance and smile were still firmly engraved in his mind. Ma Fubiao felt cold all over, and quickly turned around and stepped on the accelerator to escape.
For many days, Ma Fubiao did not dare to watch the video. He never expected that Zhu Yan, who had been dead for more than a year, would suddenly appear in the video to chat with him and ask him to meet. It seemed that ghosts really existed in this world, and the ghost of Zhu Yan, who died unjustly, came to settle accounts with him…
As the days passed, Ma Fubiao, who was still terrified, had nightmares every night. However, Zhu Yan's "ghost" did not come to him. He thought that he might be too suspicious. The female netizen who wanted to meet him might just look like Zhu Yan. It was a pity that he missed such a chance to meet her. With this thought in mind, Ma Fubiao reopened the online video and left a message on Miss Zhu's QQ system: "Miss Zhu, I'm sorry, my car broke down that day and I couldn't meet you. Please forgive me."
Then, Ma Fubiao waited for Miss Zhu to reappear in the video, but she never appeared. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a gentle knock on the door. Ma Fubiao no longer dared to open the door. Could it be that Zhu Yan's ghost really came to find him? Just as he was suspicious, a young woman with long black clothes and angry eyes suddenly appeared in the computer video. Upon closer inspection, it was Zhu Yan who was killed by him a year ago! She suddenly sneered sadly: "Ma Fubiao, do you still recognize me?"
“You…you are Zhu Yan…you, are you a human or a ghost…” Ma Fubiao could no longer control his extreme fear. He wanted to escape from the house, but the woman in the video shouted at him: “Ma Fubiao, you can’t escape today! Didn’t you hear footsteps and knocks on the door just now? That’s my ghost! Yes, there are ghost stories with videos . I am Zhu Yan who was killed by you a year ago. Ma Fubiao, you are so cruel! You put a lot of sleeping pills in the coffee I drank, and put me on the railway track to create the illusion of suicide by lying on the track. Not only did you kill me, but you also killed the innocent fetus in my belly! I asked you to go to the funeral home and the West Railway Station, just to let you pay tribute to me once. I am a female ghost who died unjustly…”
Frightened out of his wits, Ma Fubiao suddenly knelt down towards the "female ghost" in the video with a plop, begging in a sad voice: "Miss Zhu, please forgive me! I really love you, and killing you was really a bad idea because you forced me to divorce my wife and give birth to the child. I had no choice but to do this… I'm sorry, I can't be your wife in this life, I will definitely marry you in the next life…" Ma Fubiao had seen stories in costume dramas about unfaithful men who persecuted their wives and were caught by ghosts sent by the King of Hell and thrown into the underworld. He kowtowed to the ghost of Zhu Yan in the video: "Miss Zhu, for the sake of our previous relationship, please forgive me this time! It was just a thought that killed you at that time, please forgive me this time, I will serve you like a slave in the next life…"
"Ma Fubiao! You are a vicious and corrupt official. In order to cover up your affair, you cruelly killed your mistress. You thought you did it perfectly, but the law is long and you will not be able to escape the severe punishment of the law! Quickly open the door and see who is standing outside!"
"I'll go open the door, I'll go…" Hearing Zhu Yan's "ghost" telling the ghost story with the video , Ma Fubiao hurried to open the door, wanting to welcome the "ghost" who died unjustly into the house to ask for her forgiveness. But when he opened the door, he saw several majestic policemen standing in front of him. He was stunned when a pair of cold iron handcuffs were already on his hands…
Ma Fubiao was taken to the police station by the police. He suddenly saw a female police officer in police uniform. He thought she looked a bit like "Zhu Yan" in the video. He was muttering in his heart, and heard the female police officer said to him: "Director Ma is really forgetful! We just met on the video, how come you don't recognize each other in the blink of an eye?" Then she opened a computer on the table, which still saved Ma Fubiao's distraught look when he saw the "ghost" just now and his confession of "murder".
At this moment Ma Fubiao woke up as if from a dream. It turned out that all this was a trap set by the public security organs!
The female investigator who was video chatting with Ma Fubiao found a pregnant woman who died tragically on the railway track in the West Railway Station a year ago. After the autopsy, it was found that the woman had taken a large amount of sleeping pills before her death. It was initially determined to be homicide, but because no one recognized the body and the deceased had no identity documents, it became an unsolved case. However, the public security organs have never given up investigating the case. Not long ago, through this QQ number, it was finally found that the woman was the mistress of Ma Fubiao, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. The case surfaced and Ma Fubiao was a major suspect. During the investigation, the public security organs learned that Ma Fubiao was very superstitious about "ghosts and gods" and liked video chatting. In order to "lure the snake out of the hole", they specially sent this female investigator who looked a bit like the deceased Zhu Yan. After putting on makeup, she pretended to be Zhu Yan's "ghost" and deliberately video chatted with Ma Fubiao, finally exposing the murderous demon. What awaits Ma Fubiao will be severe punishment by law!
