A Deathless Murder Chapter 22

What happened next was almost a farce. The helper ran away screaming, but he was the first one to call the police. Before the police arrived, Li Su had already dug out a few bones from the backyard, made another phone call, and hurriedly woke up his stepfather from his sleep.

The police came from the local police station. They received a report that a pair of tourists from other places had robbed and killed someone in a hotel. In the description, Song Guiyi and Li Su were almost a pair of experienced thieves. It was not their fault. When the police first arrived, Li Su had blood on his face, holding a shovel, and standing breathlessly next to a human hand exposed in the soil. Song Guiyi was covered in blood and wrapped the hotel owner's mouth with tape twice.

Song Guiyi was sent to the hospital, accompanied by police guards. Li Su was taken to the detention center and questioned about the incident. She said nothing, but pretended to be panicked with her usual acting skills. She was too lazy to talk nonsense, this case was not something that the grassroots police could handle. She slept in a daze for most of the day in the detention center, and then a female police officer took her statement. It only lasted five minutes and then stopped. The whole case was transferred to a higher level because four bodies were dug out in the backyard of the hotel. Before leaving, the female police officer gave her a towel to wipe the blood off her face.

After a long time, Li Su was bored and counting the cracks on the wall in the detention center. She felt a little itchy and suspected fleas. She took off her clothes and shook them, and then was called out to record her statement. This time the police were very experienced, and she knew they were serious. So she took out Song Guiyi's recorder and told the whole story.

A story that sounds reasonable and touching, it is basically true, but it omits some marginal details. The general plot is how good a friend Huo Jinsong is to her stepfather, how she anxiously looks for him after he disappears, how Song Guiyi volunteers to help, how he finds out about Sun Xiaomei's existence, how he finds out from the hospital that Sun Xiaomei's previous patients have also disappeared, how he finds out about the hotel from other caregivers, how they rush here, and how they are attacked by the hotel owner.
