Chapter 189: Hiding a Body in a Golden House
Ben Richter is afraid that Nancy Richter will know the secrets inside the warehouse.
He hid the deceased Tina Deross at the Richter family, the so called most dangerous place is the safest place, and who would have thought that Tina Deross was dead and right there at the Richter family and never left if Miley hadn’t told me.
Ben Richter’s love for Tina Deross, his behavior, is even more perverse than Randy Pan’s.
Nancy Richter glanced at Golden Hair and said, “Then let’s dispose of the beast all together, a biting beast, I’m afraid it will bite back at big brother one day.”
Ben Richter said coldly, “A beast of his own breeding, I expect he wouldn’t dare bite his master.”
The smell of gunpowder in both of these men’s words was particularly strong.
What was once a brother-sister relationship is now a thorn in the side of words.
And by the analogy of Nancy Richter’s words, could it be that Ben Richter is not of the Richter family?
Why else would Nancy Richter say something about a found dog biting back at its owner.
Nancy Richter wrapped her arms around her, “I’m just reminding Big Brother, by the way, just now Miley was still chanting about her sister-in-law, Big Brother, when are you going to bring your sister-in-law back, it’s been half a year since she gave birth to the baby, and I haven’t seen anyone, you said that she’s gone off to recuperate her body, and she should be recuperating by now, right?”
“Tina’s health is not good, she can’t come back for the time being.” Ben Richter said without moving and walked out of the warehouse and locked the door, I heard his voice coming in, “There are especially many snakes, rats and ants inside, so don’t go in and wait for Uncle He to find someone to clean it up.”
Ben Richter is too careful in what he does to give Nancy Richter a chance to find Tina Deross, figuring he’ll move Tina Deross’ body soon enough.
I wondered, was he really hiding the body in such a sneaky way just because of love, because he couldn’t bear to part with it?
If that was the case, there was absolutely no need for him to hide it.
Could it be that he has another purpose?
I listened to Ben Richter and Nancy Richter’s footsteps walking away, thinking that I couldn’t get out at this time anyway, so I just turned back upstairs, the door was locked and I still couldn’t get in, but if I didn’t get in this time, I wouldn’t have a chance next time.
I looked around, picked up the discarded iron bar on the ground, and pried the door right open.
The door has been many years, the door frame is not strong, as long as the force, the door frame has signs of loosening, see useful, I pry hard, pry a good half day, finally pry open.
I rubbed my aching hand and took a deep breath before daring to push the door open.
There were no windows in the room, and the wind and sunlight couldn’t get in, making it seem even more eerie.
Add to that the unpleasant odor of the room, and Tina Deross, lying stiff in bed, and the horror is compounded.
This is the second time I’ve been this close to a dead body, the last time being the gruesome fall of Leon Murphy from a hospital building onto the roof of his car.
Leon Murphy’s death I still don’t believe was a suicide as far as the truth goes.
I mustered up the courage to walk over towards the bed, the stench of Tina Deross’s body was getting stronger and stronger, I covered my mouth and nose tightly, I really didn’t know how Ben Richter put up with the smell.
Tina Deross had a peaceful countenance, and she should have left this life without suffering.
I thought back to when I first saw Tina Deross in the hospital, not realizing that it would be the last time, and I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through Tina Deross’ mind the moment she closed her eyes.
Is it hanging on to Leon Murphy or worrying about Walker Richter?
And did Tina Deross know about Leon Murphy’s fall to his death.
I looked at the body of Tina Deross, whose body had long since gone rigid, and if I hadn’t known Tina Deross well enough to spend time with someone who had been dead for so long, I would have gone weak in the knees with fear.
I reached out to touch Tina Deross, my hand crossed in mid-air, and finally retracted it as I took a good look around and at Tina Deross, and found nothing else.
Footsteps came again downstairs at this point, but instead of Ben Richter, it was Nancy Richter, who whispered and called out to me again from below, “Alva Hill? are you still there?”
I stepped out of the room and Nancy Richter, sneaking around, was about to come up, saw me, looked out warily, and said, “Get out of here while Ben Richter’s gone or I can’t protect you if he comes back.”
“Aren’t you curious what’s up there?” I pointed upstairs, “Want to go up and take a look.”
Hearing me say that, Nancy Richter was curious too, “Is Ben Richter still golden.”
“You’ll see when you get up there.”
Nancy Richter was a little more obliging this time, folding back and opening the door for me, and I treated her a little better.
Nancy Richter hesitated for a few seconds and walked upstairs, I didn’t follow and go back in, I waited for Nancy Richter to go in alone, and as I expected, in less than half a minute, Nancy Richter came out of there pale with fear, gagging and holding onto the wall to throw up while her words were stuttering, “Bell, Tina Deross, that’s Tina Deross lying there, she’s dead, dead.”
I nodded.
Nancy Richter slowed down, “Tina Deross is really dead and Ben Richter is hiding her here, what is he trying to do.”
I shook my head, “That’s exactly why I’m here, so far, no sign of Ben Richter doing this.”
“He’s insane.” Nancy Richter was particularly unintelligent, “Sure is a cold-blooded, sick monster to use herbs to prevent Tina Deross’s corpse from decaying, no wonder he doesn’t allow anyone to come halfway near here.”
Nancy Richter suddenly thought of something and hurriedly folded back to close the door behind her, then pulled me downstairs, “Hurry up, Ben Richter will surely fold back.”
Ben Richter is suspicious by nature, and with someone important to him hiding here, he certainly won’t feel comfortable leaving.
Sure enough, Nancy Richter had just dragged me out of the warehouse when I saw Ben Richter fold back in.
Nancy Richter reacted quickly and pulled me toward the back path back around to the lobby, and when Ben Richter went to check out the warehouse and then came back to the lobby, Nancy Richter immediately sneered at me, “Alva Hill, my second brother doesn’t even want you anymore, what are you licking your chops for, what, trying to blackmail me? ”
I know Alva Hill said that on purpose to Ben Richter who came in from outside.
I said, “I didn’t think to ask you THE Richter family for a penny, I’ve got things to do, I’ll go first.”
Nancy Richter didn’t stop me either, and I turned around, pretending I had just seen Ben Richter, and walked past him.
Just less than two steps past him, Ben Richter suddenly called out to me, “Wait.”
At those words, my heart tightened, my feet froze, and on my face, I said without moving, “Why, does Young Master Li also want to humiliate me?”
Ben Richter came over to me, his brow furrowed, “Where were you?”
I then reacted to the fact that I had spent too much time in the warehouse and dyed the inside smell, such a specific herb smell, how could Ben Richter not smell it.
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and I was thinking of excuses when Nancy Richter grabbed me and said, “Just now, Alva Hill sneakily went to Second Brother’s room, and I think she was sad that Second Brother married Susan Su, and wanted to use this ploy to make him soften his heart.”
Ben Richter shot a look toward Nancy Richter, and I immediately lied and said, “I’m just here to return something, and since Walker Richter is married to someone else, it’s time for what he gave me before to be returned to its rightful owner.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
I don’t know if such a lie would have gotten past Ben Richter either.
“You haven’t been to the warehouse?” Ben Richter grabbed my wrist suddenly, his eyes blazing, “Alva Hill, I’m warning you …”
“What happened to make big brother so angry?”
Walker Richter’s voice came in from outside the hall.
At the sound, the three of us looked toward the doorway in unison as Walker Richter, dressed in a groom’s suit, appeared in the hall doorway holding Susan Su.
