Chapter 3 — The House You Can't Buy

The third wall is located near the bedroom, a few centimeters thicker than a normal partition wall. I have hope again. “Destroy this wall thoroughly.” Worker Tran switched to a large hammer and smashed each brick. After the wall was completely opened, a row of old water pipes were revealed inside. There is no body. My heart gradually sank. Police Officer Cao asked someone to check all rubble and hollow layers inside the wall. No blood stains. No hair. Nor was there any human tissue present. Apart from the load-bearing wall marked in red, all the smashable walls in the living room were smashed. The house is messy everywhere. The neighbors' scolding was even harder to hear. “Crazy!” “Quickly arrest her!” "My boyfriend doesn't need her anymore. Whoever marries her will be unlucky!" Trinh Da stood in the middle of a pile of rubble, his face extremely unsightly. “Tri Y, why do you have to do this?” “Now I really have to rethink our marriage.” Officer Cao walked in front of me. “Miss Lam, please follow us home.” “You need to explain the origin of the clue.” "Reporting fake news causes many departments to mobilize forces, the consequences are very serious." Why not? Future me can't fool me. That secret from high school, even Trinh Da didn't know. But all the walls have been smashed, and the body still cannot be found. Officer Cao signaled me to go out. As soon as I took a step, I stopped and turned around to look at the messy living room everywhere. The walls were smashed. Bricks and stones are scattered all over the ground. Furniture was overturned. Along with each person standing in the ruins with different expressions on their faces. At that moment, I suddenly understood everything. I immediately broke away from the police. “Comrade police, please wait a moment.” I turned around, staring at the completely transformed house before my eyes: "Give me five more minutes. I know who the murderer is." Officer Cao's face was unhappy: "What do you want to say? If you intend to smash the force-bearing wall, it is absolutely not allowed!" I looked at him and nodded seriously: "The body is not in the load-bearing wall, but is in..." 5 "The body is in the place where worker Tran lives." The house was silent for two seconds, then the sound of cursing erupted. The hammer in Tran Thu Nghia's hand fell to the ground. His face turned red: "Tri Y, are you crazy?" “I'm your relative, helping you run back and forth, but now you're throwing dirty water on me?” Trinh Da pulled me back hard. "It's not enough that you slandered the landlord, now even my relatives are biting me?" "Comrade police, there may be a problem with her spirit. You guys quickly take her away." Officer Cao's face darkened: "Miss Lam, accusing others of murder is not a joke." I picked up the house repair drawing from the ground. “I am one hundred percent certain that within the walls of this house there is a body hidden.” “Now there is none, which proves that it was only brought in after I bought the house.” "People who can freely come in and out during house renovations, and can seal the walls without making me suspicious, are only house repairmen." Tran Thu Nghia rushed forward but was stopped by the police who raised his hand. He shouted until his voice was hoarse: "I haven't even started renovating the house yet!" "That's right." I looked at him: "So my body is still in your hands." The crowd gradually quieted down. Trieu Kien Quoc reacted first. “You mean I almost had to bear the brunt of murder for him?” Tran Thu Nghia turned around and scolded him: "Don't arbitrarily put a hat on my head!" “This girl talks such nonsense and you still believe it?” He pointed at me again. “Lam Tri Y, I helped you measure the house three times.” "When I was a child, I used to hold you. Because you wanted to avoid the contract, could you make up this kind of story?" Trinh Da stood in front of him. "Teacher Tran, I'm sorry. She's really not normal today." “I'll apologize to you on her behalf.” My anger was completely uncontrollable. “Trinh Da, on what basis do you apologize for me?” “Based on you being my boyfriend!” “Do you even know you're my boyfriend?” He was stunned when asked. I turned to the police

t Cao. "Tran Thu Nghia rented a house in Lieu Ha village west of the city. I don't know the specific house number." "His tool cart is parked downstairs. There may be clues in the cart." Tran Thu Nghia suddenly bent down to pick up the phone. A policeman was one step faster than him and pressed his hand. “Don't move.” Tran Thu Nghia immediately stiffened. Officer Cao noticed this reaction. “Where do you live?” “Lieu Ha village.” “What number?” “Why should I tell you?” “Let's coordinate the inspection.” "She said one random thing, you guys want to search my house?" He forcefully pushed the policeman's hand away, his tone suddenly becoming tough. “Where is the search warrant?” Police Officer Cao did not continue to press questions, only asked his colleagues to check his identity information. Trinh Da angrily kicked away the brick next to his foot. “Tri Y, that's enough.” “Now that I admit that I caused trouble, the most I can do is compensate and apologize.”
