Playmobil Detectives: Saigon Love Story-23

 Mai begged the priest to not destroy the evil spirit. 

"The spirit's intentions are by no means benign," answered the Taoist priest. "If you continue to let it roam freely, it will most definitely cause more harm to the family."

"I don't believe you," retorted Mai. "Hung was such a kind and generous person before his death, he could not even bear to kill an ant. I do not believe that he would intentionally attempt to cause harm to anyone, let alone my family."

"It seems like you do not have a very deep understanding of ghosts, mademoiselle," replied the priest. "No matter how kind the person was before his death, if his spirit was unable to rest in peace for whatever reason, it will start to become demonized and subsequently lose all its humane characteristics which used to belong to the living person, until its hatred has been dissolved. Spirits are not the same as people. They only have one purpose - and that is to achieve what they want to achieve. It would not care how they achieve it or whom they harm in the process. They would lose all the good memories, and all that remains would be their hatred."

"Then, what shall I do?" questioned Mai, as she began to cry piteously. "I have already killed Hung once, I don't want to kill him again."

"Very well, there is one method," responded the priest, who took pity on the poor girl. "I will try to seal the spirit in this cremation urn instead of destroying it forever. However, you must promise me this: whatever you do, never ever try to let it out. Once released from this seal, the spirit will mutate to become much more powerful than it had been before, and it would be most certainly cause a catastrophe. Not just to you, but to everyone around you. Will you give me your promise?"

"Yes, I promise," said Mai unhesitatingly. "It is enough to know that he is with me all the time."

摩比神探之西貢生死戀-21

鮑伯將阿雄的屍體埋在後院後,信守承諾地回到屋裡『跟阿梅算帳』。完全無視阿梅懷有身孕的狀態,鮑伯兇殘地抓著她的頭髮,將她強行拖回地窖裡的籠子關了起來。

「我警告過你了!」鮑伯奸笑道。「如果你一直學不會怎麼做一個好太太,我們就會回到我們度蜜月的時候的場景。你記得這間可愛的小房間嗎?看來它會幫你回憶起我們剛結婚時度過的甜蜜時光。哈哈哈哈!」鮑伯吐了一口痰在地上後,便用力地將地窖的門關上。然而,現在的阿梅和以往不一樣。她決定不再哭著求饒。她的眼神中閃爍著一種前所未見的堅定信念。

在阿梅臨盆的前一天早晨,鮑伯出去工作前把她放了出來。鮑伯出門後幾小時,阿梅聽到了門鈴聲。自從上次抓到阿梅和阿雄暗通款曲後,懷疑心強的鮑伯就會時不時地回家突襲檢查;所以,阿梅以為又是鮑伯回來了。然而,當她前去開門後,竟驚見一名警察站在門口。

「妳是鮑伯・夏摩藤的配偶嗎?」警察出示警徽後問道。

「是的,我是。」阿梅疑惑地答道。

「我是來宣布一件很不幸的事,」警察說。「你的丈夫今早在工地發生了意外。根據目擊者的證詞,一根長長的鋼骨結構被風吹起,不偏不倚地刺穿了妳丈夫的心臟。因為死因非常離奇,所以現在警方正在介入調查中。身為死者的遺孀,我們需要你協助調查。我們這裡有特別派了一名越語翻譯員,所以不用擔心你聽不懂。」

翻譯員將員警的話翻譯成越文後,阿梅隱約感覺到是阿雄的冤魂回來復仇了。

Playmobil Detectives: Saigon Love Story-21

 After Bob had buried Hung's body in his backyard, he kept his promise and came back into the house to 'deal with' Mai. Without taking heed of Mai's status of being pregnant, Bob savagely grabbed her hair and mercilessly pushed her into the dark, humid dungeon where she had spent most of her days after their marriage. 

"I warned ya before!" hissed Bob sinisterly. "If ye don't behave like how a good wife should behave, you and me are gonna end up like in the old days during our honeymoon. Remember this sweet little room where you've spent in? Looks like we need to relive our honeymoon times again. Ahahahah!" Bob slammed the door of the dungeon shut and spat on the ground before he climbed up the ladder back to the living room. Nonetheless, this time, Mai did not cry and beg like she used to. Furthermore, there was a tinge of determination in her eyes which had not hitherto been present. 

The morning before Mai was due to give birth, she was let out of the dungeon before Bob drove to work. A few hours after Bob's departure and after Mai had finished her lunch, the doorbell suddenly rang. Presuming that it was Bob, who had begun the practice of returning home suddenly at expected times to check in on Mai ever since he caught Hung and Mai redhanded, Mai quickly rushed to answer the door, but only to discover that it was a police officer. 

"Are you Mrs Summerton, Bob Summerton's wife?" enquired the police officer after holding out his police badge. 

"Yes, yes, I am," answered Mai as she looked searchingly at the police. 

"I am here to inform you some sad news," responded the police officer. "Unfortunately, your husband has been killed on the construction site this morning. According to witnesses, a heavy metal rod used for the construction of pillars of a skyscraper was hurled up by a quote unquote mysterious gust of wind, and pierced through the heart of Bob Summerton, your husband. As the cause of his death appeared to be quite extraordinary, the police is currently investigating the case. As his wife, we would require you to aid us in our inspection by answering some questions. We have here a Vietnamese translator, so don't worry if you don't understand everything that I've said." 

After the translator has translated the officer's words, Mai instantly sensed that it was the ghost of Hung who had come back for revenge.

摩比神探之西貢生死戀-20

阿梅與阿雄重逢的一個月後,有天,兩人正在計畫著逃跑路線時,大門突然被打開了。兩人太專注了,居然絲毫沒有注意到鮑伯的腳步聲。

「你們這是在幹嘛?好大的膽子,你這個賤人居然背著我在這裡跟郵差暗通款曲!」鮑伯看著阿梅與阿雄坐在餐桌旁後辱罵道。

「鮑伯,不是⋯⋯我⋯⋯」阿梅試圖解釋,可是因為她的英語能力不足,根本什麼都說不出來。

鮑伯火冒三丈地緊握拳頭,衝向阿雄。阿梅看見大事不妙,便挺身而出,擋在阿雄前面。鮑伯不顧阿身懷六甲,粗暴地將她推開,使她抱著肚子倒在了地上。

「你竟敢推她!」阿雄用越語大喊道,便衝向阿梅。
