She remembered some scenes she had seen on TV and in movies before.
After calming down on the sofa for a while, Min’er got up and first tidied the dining table, taking everything to wash.
Then she took out two huge black garbage bags and stuffed the person in piece by piece.
When shopping in Xiangcheng, Zhan Bei Jue had bought her two beautiful large suitcases to pack clothes.
She took out the clothes from inside and brought them to the living room, placing the garbage bags inside with difficulty.
She covered them and pushed them to the door.
She started mopping the floor.
Once, twice, and again and again, until she had mopped the entire house inside and out, every corner.
Confirming that no trace would be found, she finally stopped.
When busy, her heart was calm, and her mind was clear.
She had already figured out where to take him and how to get him there.
Washing her hands, she came out of the bathroom and calmly picked up her phone to call a car.
Seeing that the driver had accepted the order, she changed into black clothes, put on a mask, and went out with the suitcase.
The driver waited on the road at the entrance of the community. Seeing her struggling to drag the suitcase, he quickly ran over to help.
Min’er stopped him.
“No, I can do it myself.”
Having done physical labor for so many years, she had plenty of strength.
Especially in this situation.
Gritting her teeth, she propped the suitcase against her knees and lifted it into the trunk.
As the trunk lid closed, the driver walked back to the driver’s seat, admiring her.
“You look so thin and petite, I didn’t expect you to be so strong.”
“You girls just love beauty. You pack your suitcases as if they’re full of stones. It’s so late, are you going to the airport or the train station?”
Fucheng is a city surrounded by water. On the way to the airport, there was a river.
Min’er had originally planned to go up the mountain, but being reminded by him, she suddenly had an idea.
“To the airport.”
“Alright. 120 yuan, it’s the night price. Shall we go now?”
120 yuan for a taxi fare was not cheap.
But it was a good day, and Min’er was willing to spend it.
“Yes. Let’s go.”
Min’er was calculating in her mind all the way, thinking about how to get off midway without arousing the driver’s suspicion.
After half an hour of silence, she had thought of a good plan.
When the driver passed that bridge, she used her father’s phone to call herself.
“What? The mission is canceled, I’m not going. Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’m almost there.”
“What else can I do? Take a taxi yourself. You’re nearby, you’ll come and pick me up? Okay, then I’ll ask the driver to stop. Wait for me on this side of the bridge.”
Hearing this, the driver looked back at her. Min’er smiled.
“Sorry. I have something urgent and can’t go anymore. You can let me off here.”
The driver let her out and watched her struggle to drag the suitcase to the roadside. He thought:
What a lousy company, not caring about people at all? It’s so late at night, what a hassle.
After the taxi was out of sight, Min’er dragged the suitcase to the bridge railing.
The railing was high, and the gaps in the middle were tight to prevent pedestrians from falling.
She had overlooked it earlier, thinking of throwing the suitcase down from here, and everything would be gone without a trace.
She had ignored the difficulty of actually doing it.
The suitcase couldn’t be pushed through the gaps. If she insisted on throwing it down, she would have to lift it over the railing.
There was no need to try. At that height, she couldn’t lift it at all.
The bridge was sparsely trafficked at past three in the morning.
No one saw her doing anything bad, but no one could help her either.
Min’er looked around again and again. This was an opportunity not to be missed, and she couldn’t give up like this.
She simply pulled the suitcase to the end of the bridge and found another place to throw it down.
Just as she made up her mind to put the suitcase down, a pair of large male feet unexpectedly appeared in her sight.
There was no one on the bridge when she had just looked around, so how did someone suddenly appear?
Feeling guilty, Min’er was startled and quickly looked up.
A man, dressed in black like her, wearing a mask, tall and young, was looking at her.
“Do you need any help?”
His voice was very young and pleasant.
He should be a helpful passerby.
Her pounding heart calmed down a bit. Min’er avoided his gaze.
“No, thank you.”
“This bridge is 14.8 kilometers long. You are in the middle now, and it will take at least half an hour to walk to either side.”
“Are you not afraid of dragging such a heavy suitcase, especially with something seeping out?”
What?
Min’er quickly looked down at the suitcase.
As he said, although she had wrapped the person well in garbage bags at home,
due to the repeated carrying and the bumps of the journey, a little blood had seeped out.
Late at night, the bloodstains dripping onto the bridge surface were bound to arouse suspicion.
Min’er’s heart sank again, and she explained with an attempt to cover up.
“The taxi driver was driving too fast and broke my ketchup. Thank you for the reminder.”
“I’m afraid your clothes are also stained and can’t be worn anymore.”
Ke Teng smiled and didn’t expose her.
“Since they can’t be worn, let’s just throw them away. Let’s do it quickly, I’ll help you.”
Saying that, and before Min’er could agree, he bent down and grabbed the wheels at the bottom of the suitcase.
Seeing Min’er looking at him with hesitation and surprise, and not acting, he raised an eyebrow.
“Do you want more to leak? Hurry up!”
Min’er’s intuition told her that this person was not just a simple passerby.
He seemed to have discovered something.
But she didn’t know him at all, so why would he come to help?
She had many doubts, but this was not the best time to resolve them.
As he said, speed was important.
She grabbed the other end of the suitcase, and together they exerted force, and the suitcase fell into the river.
The bloodstains and ketchup on the ground really didn’t look right.
Ke Teng took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket and handed them to her.
“I’ll wait for you on the other side of the bridge. Wipe it quickly and thoroughly.”
After saying that, he took out another pack of tissues from his pocket, pulled out two, and started wiping his hands as he walked.
He walked towards a black car parked on the other side of the bridge.
When did this car stop here?
There was clearly nothing when she looked just now!
She couldn’t care about anything else. Min’er pulled out the tissues, squatted on the ground, and began to meticulously clean up the evidence.
Over and over again.
Until the area of ground she wiped turned white, and she had used up the entire pack of tissues and thrown them into the sea, she walked towards Ke Teng.
The car window on the driver’s side was rolled down halfway. Ke Teng had taken off his mask and was smoking.
She stood by the car, looking at his exposed, only half-visible sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
“Who are you?”
“Get in the car.”
“Have we met before?”
“I told you to get in the car.”
“Where are you taking me?”
Ke Teng grew impatient, turned his head, slowly blew out the smoke from his mouth, and glanced at her indifferently.
“I’ll ask you one last time. Are you getting in the car or not?”
