Chapter 372: Kill and cover up the traces.
However, it was enough for Si He to understand it roughly, and she didn't expect to know anything from Hongdou.
After a conversation, it was already late.
Si He got up and left, saying she would come back tomorrow.
Hongdou looked at her leaving back, feeling uneasy and hesitant, but helpless.
After Si He left, she went to a noodle restaurant at the corner of the street to eat. She sat in a private seat by the window, looking at the clinic diagonally opposite from time to time.
At this time, it was night time, and the clinic's business was still good. There were still many people seeking medical treatment. However, there were even more people who were turned away. Without money, they could not enter the clinic at all, just like Hongdou before.
After she finished her noodles, she waited for a long time before the doctor from the clinic came out.
Si He narrowed her eyes slightly, paid the bill and left immediately, then slowly followed.
……
The next day, Hongdou got up early in the morning. Her stomach was rumbling with hunger, so she used the little money she had left to go out and buy some rice.
While shopping, Hongdou heard people around her talking about the big events that happened last night.
"I heard there was a thief in the government office last night? I wonder what kind of thief was so bold as to break into the government office and steal things!"
"That's right. Last night a group of soldiers came to search. I was so scared. I thought something big had happened."
"Isn't this a big deal? I heard someone died in the government office, and now the South Street is blocked off. They say the thieves are hiding there."
"Huh? Didn't they say that the place was closed because a doctor died? How did it become about catching thieves?"
"What? A doctor died on South Street? That must have been done by that thief!"
"Which doctor in the clinic is so unlucky?"
"I heard it was Doctor Li from Huichuntang!"
……
When Hongdou heard these words, her eyes widened. Doctor Li?
Isn’t this the doctor we asked to come to your house yesterday?
Such a coincidence?
Moreover, when she heard these people say that the government office had been robbed, she suddenly remembered what her benefactor had asked her yesterday.
For a moment, Hongdou felt a little complicated and was very suspicious that these things might be related to her benefactor!
Is she that powerful?
After buying some food, Hongdou hurried back to the house, waiting for the arrival of the "new master".
But this wait lasted until the afternoon.
The sky was gloomy in the afternoon, with dark clouds covering the sky, as if a storm was coming.
Si He finally arrived. Today she was not wearing a cloak, but a veil hat and an umbrella in her hand.
Hongdou heard the knock on the door and hurried to open it. Although Si He had changed her clothes and never showed her true face, she still recognized her as soon as she saw her figure. Besides, no one would find this place.
"Well...Miss is back." Hongdou wanted to call her benefactor, but thinking of the conversation yesterday, she quickly changed her words.
Si He walked into the house and took off her veil only after Hongdou closed the door.
This was the first time Hongdou saw her true face. Although she could tell from her beautiful eyes yesterday that she must be good-looking, she was still amazed when she saw her now.
Maybe it was because she was short-sighted, but this was the first time Hongdou had seen such a beautiful girl.
For a moment, he looked a little stunned.
"Let's go and deal with the body first."
But her words instantly brought Hongdou back to his senses.
Dealing with corpses?
Hongdou swallowed, looked at Si He nervously, and asked, "How should we deal with this?"
Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly, "You're not still thinking of transporting your young lady out of the city and burying her, are you?"
Hongdou shook her head. This was definitely not possible. If she was investigated by the city guards, she would be finished.
If you want to survive, you must not make this public!
Si He didn't say much and walked into the house, followed closely by Hongdou.
In the bedroom, Miss Guo's body was still lying on the bed, but Hongdou had tidied up her appearance and changed her into clean clothes. However, her face was covered with rashes and pustules, which still looked quite scary.
To be honest, Miss Guo's death was indeed very painful. She was tortured by illness for so many years and her appearance was ruined.
"The body cannot be left here. It must be destroyed as soon as possible. Carry it to the bathroom in the side room."
Si He directly instructed Hongdou to do something, and then put on a pair of white gloves made of coarse cloth.
Hongdou was stunned for a moment. Although she felt a little resistant and nervous when she heard that the body was to be destroyed, she really couldn't keep the body. If any information was leaked, she would not have a good ending!
Thinking of this, Hongdou hurriedly did as she was told and carried the corpse with Sihe.
Miss Guo was so thin that her body was just skin and bones. The two men quickly carried the body to the ground in the side room.
After putting down the corpse, Hongdou still looked at Si He with a nervous expression, not knowing how she was going to destroy it.
After all, Hongdou had never dealt with such a thing before, and this was the body of a young lady. She always felt uneasy about handling it so casually.
"Stand back and cover your mouth and nose."
After hearing what she said, Hongdou hurriedly did as she was told. Then she took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket, unscrewed the lid, and poured it on the corpse.
The next moment, a hissing sound came from the corpse and a foul-smelling gas came out, which scared Hongdou.
Then the corpse was seen being quickly corroded by these strange liquids!
Hongdou looked horrified as she watched helplessly as a corpse was slowly corroded!
After a while, Hongdou couldn't stand it anymore and quickly retreated.
Si He ignored Hongdou, held his breath and dealt with the corpse with a calm expression.
After a long while, she packed up her things, walked out of the side room, and opened the doors and windows to ventilate the room.
At this moment, Hongdou was squatting by the wall, retching, looking extremely ugly.
Si He glanced at her, then walked to the well in the yard, drew a bucket of water, and washed her hands.
Hongdou turned her head and looked at her slender back, and suddenly realized that she was a terrifying person.
At this time, after Si He washed her hands, she turned to look at Hong Dou and said, "Now that you've vomited enough, get to work and fetch a few buckets of water to clean the inner room."
Anko nodded quickly, "Yes."
The body was dealt with without leaving any trace. Hongdou washed the house several times and cleaned it again.
Hongdou also burned all of Guo Jiaqu's old clothes and even cleaned up the sheets and quilts.
Si He returned to the inn, checked out of the guest room, brought her luggage with her, and planned to stay here temporarily. However, she did not live in the main house, but asked Hongdou to clean up a room for her.
"Miss, what are your plans?"
After cleaning up the house, Hongdou calmed down and asked Sihe what her plans were.
Si He looked at the furnishings in her room. The bedsheets and quilts were all red beans, covered in patches and very worn, but quite clean. "I'll probably leave here in two days. I have things to do. As for returning to the Guo family, we'll talk about it later."
Upon hearing this, Hongdou pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Si He turned to look at her and said, "It seems that you are also a person who cherishes your life. If you really go to the Guo family, it will be very dangerous. Of course, if you really insist on revenge, I will not stop you."
