The young man gave me a brief look and continued, "At first, we didn't know what happened. However, Mr. Joseph voluntarily confessed that, before moving here, his wife had been poisoned. Unable to suppress it, she died from exploding. Unable to display her whole body, he had wrapped her remains in her clothing."
"But neither I nor others believed this explanation. In the casket, there was no body, only clothing. Although the clothing was clean, it was still disturbing to think about. Mr. Joseph must have told the villagers something to quell their curiosity, and the matter was put to rest."
"Since then, Mr. Joseph suddenly became eccentric, as if he had undergone a significant personality shift overnight. He behaved normally during the day, but at night, strange sounds emanated from his house. The village had been relatively quiet at night, so the sounds were quite noticeable, causing nearby residents to move away."
