chapter 9
I still hid Under the Bed.
Because for some reason, they started arguing outside.
Very soon.
I heard footsteps approaching this way.
The Delivery Man in the lead shouted.
“Brother, what on earth did you do? Why does the house reek so strongly of blood? Isn’t Sister-in-law home?”
The next second.
The door to the room was suddenly flung open.
A man in a yellow delivery uniform entered.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw blood all over the room.
He froze, unable to say a word for a long time.
Then, step by step, he edged closer, his hands trembling, and carefully lifted the sheet covering the corpse.
After a scream.
He collapsed to the floor.
He was terrified, unable to recover for quite a while.
After a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence from his throat.
“Brother… you… Sister-in-law, she…”
The Man holding the Knife flicked his finished cigarette to the floor and said indifferently,
“She deserved to die. She was cheating on me and I caught her. Not just her, I won’t let that damned Lover of hers off either. Next, he’ll be the one to die!”
The Delivery Man’s voice was obviously trembling and choked with tears.
“Even if she cheated… Brother, you’ve killed someone, murder is against the law, let’s turn ourselves in.”
“Turn myself in?”
The Man laughed, “Turn myself in and get sentenced to death? Trade my life for hers? Is she worth it?”
“But Brother, you killed someone, the police will find you sooner or later. If you turn yourself in, they’ll reduce your sentence, you won’t get the death penalty. If you behave well, you might get out in a dozen years.”
“Turn myself in? No way. If I’m going to do it, I won’t stop halfway. I still have to kill that man.”
“Brother, you’re crazy.”
“I’m not crazy! They’re the crazy ones, daring to do such filthy things right under my nose. They’re asking for death.”
…
The two of them argued fiercely in the room.
They completely forgot about ordering delivery.
But just as I started to relax a little.
The Delivery Man suddenly changed the subject.
He said, “Brother, who exactly ordered delivery to your house? Why did he tell me to knock on the door and not let me call?”
