But if the man who visited Lily Johnson was truly her biological father, then after all these years apart, how did he know where she lived? And how had he shown up at just the right moment? I contacted the population department and requested detailed records on Lily's biological father. I was determined to uncover the full truth before walking away from this case.
His name was William Johnson — 45 years old and born with a congenital heart condition. I traced their old address — the place where William and Emily had once lived together.
Then I began asking the neighbors what they remembered about the family of three.
And at that moment, the story finally came together — piece by piece — until everything became painfully clear.
Back then, Emily Green had been obsessed with staying young. She was so consumed by appearances that she began neglecting both her husband and their newborn child. Arguments between her and William became frequent and heated. But William Johnson had a heart condition , and every emotional outburst put his life at risk. Obviously, Emily knew this.
One elderly neighbor recalled a terrible argument between them. The very next day, Emily put on mourning clothes, took the child, and left in a van for William Johnson's hometown. Later, neighbors heard she’d pushed William to his death — another heart attack.
After that, no one ever saw Emily or the child again. But William returned once — and when he did, it terrified everyone. When asked, they learned William had somehow survived — by some miracle. But his wife and child were gone.
Later, William Johnson living alone in the apartment , rarely going out. Almost no one ever saw him. The only sign of his presence was when he tossed black trash bags—both large and small—down the stairwell. When a neighbor asked, he casually replied that he was studying to become a licensed cosmetologist.
Then, about a year ago, William disappeared and never returned.
The more I listened to these clues, the colder I felt. If all of this was true… there was a chilling possibility: William Johnson might have been the so-called foreign beauty professor in Emily Green's WeChat.
To confirm this, I forced open the door to his former apartment. The moment it creaked open, a gust of dust and sharp chemical fumes hit me square in the face. I stepped inside and searched for space, but most of the belongings had already been cleared up. All I found was a torn, half-destroyed diary.
The content in it was shocking — practically a written record of crimes.
It revealed that Emily Green had long had planned to kill William Johnson long ago. That final argument between them wasn’t just a fight—it was premeditated. Emily had staged an affair, left behind incriminating photos, and provoked William on purpose, hoping his heart condition would do the rest. And it nearly did. Emily, believing him dead, took their child and fled, leaving William to die alone in his hometown. But against all odds, William survived. And from that moment on, he was no longer just a man—he was a father determined to reclaim his daughter… and a ghost chasing the woman who once tried to bury him.
So, knowing Emily Green's obsession with beauty,, William Johnson targeted her greatest weakness. He spent nine years meticulously crafting the persona of a foreign beauty expert. During this time, he maintained regular contact with Emily, carefully manipulating her trust. He deliberately sold her prohibited drugs—substances known to cause long-term nerve damage—disguised as miraculous anti-aging treatments. And in their casual conversations, he would skillfully steer the topic toward her personal life, subtly gathering information about Emily Green and her daughter.
When William Johnson learned that John Miller had developed an interest in Lily Johnson, his hatred grew even deeper. Without hesitation, he added John Miller to his revenge plan—crafting a scheme that involved Emily Green and personally supplying the drugs that would ultimately lead to murder.
All of this was for his daughter. Finally, a year ago, William Johnson reconnected with Lily Johnson, and the two began communicating in secret. . He revealed the cruel truth to her. Without hesitation, father and daughter made a pact — to end it all, together.
So, after Emily Green killed John Miller, William Johnson rushed to the city where it happened. He hid John Miller's body in the sewer, extracted his semen, and preserved it through refrigeration. Then, he and his daughter orchestrated an elaborate scheme — a chilling performance in which a dead man returned to commit rape, and his corpse was later discovered in the pipes.
The purpose of this elaborate performance, beyond exacting revenge on John Miller, was to psychologically break Emily Green — to make her believe that William Johnson’s ghost had truly returned for vengeance. In the end, William used the same method she had once used against him: fear, illusion, and the slow erosion of the mind.
Eventually, Emily Green was consumed by the very lies she had built. Her nervous system collapsed, her sanity unraveled, and she quite literally died of fear.
