She recalled certain scenes she had seen on television and in movies.
After calming down on the sofa for a while, Min'er got up, tidied the dining table first, and took everything to wash.
Then she took out two large black garbage bags and put the person in, bit by bit.
When shopping in Xiangcheng, Zhan Bei Jue had bought her two beautiful large suitcases to pack clothes.
She took the clothes out of the suitcases, brought them to the living room, and with difficulty, placed the garbage bags inside.
She covered them and pushed them to the door.
She started mopping the floor.
Once, twice, again and again, until she had wiped the entire house, inside and out, every corner, every nook.
Only when she was sure no trace could be found did she stop.
When busy, her heart was calm, and her mind was clear.
She had already decided where to take him and how to get him there.
After washing her hands, she came out of the bathroom, calmly picked up her phone, and called a car.
Seeing the driver accept the order, she changed into a black outfit, put on a mask, and dragged the suitcase out the door.
The driver was waiting on the road at the entrance of the residential area. Seeing her struggling to drag the suitcase, he quickly ran over to help.
However, Min'er stopped him.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Having done manual 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 small, I didn't expect you to be so strong."
"You girls just love to be beautiful. You pack your suitcases as if they're filled with rocks. 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, they passed by a river.
Min'er had originally planned to go up the mountain, but his words gave her a sudden idea.
"To the airport."
"Alright. 120 yuan. It's the night fare, can we go now?"
120 yuan for a taxi was not cheap.
But it was a good day, and Min'er was willing to spend it.
"Yes. Let's go."
Min'er spent the entire journey plotting how to get off the car midway without arousing the driver's suspicion.
After half an hour of silence, she had devised a good plan.
When the driver passed the bridge, she used her father's phone to call herself.
"What? The mission has been canceled temporarily, I'm not going. Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm almost there."
"What else can I do? I'll take a taxi myself. You're nearby, you'll come pick me up? Alright then, I'll have the driver stop. I'll wait for you on this side of the bridge."
The driver looked back at her. Min'er smiled.
"I'm sorry. I have something to attend to and can't go anymore. Please drop me off here."
The driver let her out and watched her struggle to drag the suitcase to the roadside. He thought to himself:
What kind of lousy company is this, not caring about people at all? It's so late at night, what a hassle.
After the taxi disappeared from sight, Min'er dragged the suitcase to the side of the bridge railing.
The railing was high, and to prevent pedestrians from falling, the gaps in the middle were also very tight.
She had been careless earlier, thinking she could just throw the suitcase down from here, and everything would be unknown once it hit the sea.
She had overlooked 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 even try. At that height, she couldn't lift it at all.
On the bridge at past three in the morning, there were very few vehicles passing by.
No one saw her doing anything wrong, but no one could help her either.
Min'er looked around again and again. This opportunity could not be missed, and she couldn't give up like this.
She simply pulled the suitcase to the end of the bridge, intending to find another spot to throw it down.
Just as she made up her mind and put the suitcase down, a pair of large men's feet unexpectedly appeared in her field of vision.
When she had looked around just now, there was no one on the bridge. 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, looking 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 little, and Min'er avoided his gaze.
"No, thank you."
"This bridge is 14.8 kilometers long. You are in the middle right now. It will take at least half an hour to walk in either direction."
"Dragging such a heavy suitcase, and with something seeping out, aren't you afraid?"
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 along the road, a little blood had seeped out.
Late at night, bloodstains dripping onto the bridge surface were bound to attract suspicion.
Min'er's heart tightened again. She explained, as if trying to hide something:
"The taxi driver was driving too fast, and he broke my ketchup. Thank you for the reminder."
"I'm afraid your clothes are also stained, and you won't be able to keep them."
Ke Teng smiled, not exposing her.
"Since you can't keep them, then throw them away. Let's finish this quickly, I'll help you."
Saying that, without waiting for Min'er's agreement, he bent down and grabbed the wheels at the bottom of the suitcase.
Seeing Min'er looking at him with hesitation and surprise, not moving, he raised an eyebrow.
"Are you worried about leaking less? 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. Why was he running over 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 didn't look very similar.
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. Hurry up and wipe it clean, wipe it thoroughly."
After saying that, he took out another pack of tissues from his pocket, pulled out two, and walked away, wiping his hands.
He walked towards a black car parked on the other side of the bridge.
When did this car stop here?
There was clearly no one there when she looked just now!
Without bothering with further thought, Min'er pulled out the tissues, squatted on the ground, and began to meticulously clear the evidence.
Again and again, again and again.
Only after wiping the entire area until it was pale, using up the entire pack of tissues, and throwing them into the sea, did she walk towards Ke Teng.
The driver's side window was half-rolled down. Ke Teng had removed 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."
"Do we know each other?"
"I told you to get in the car."
"Where are you taking me?"
Ke Teng became impatient. He turned his head, slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and gave her a lukewarm glance.
"I'll ask you one last time. Are you getting in the car or not?"
