Chapter 5 — The House You Can't Buy

“Can I come in and see if the house is damaged or not?” Tran Thu Nghia sternly stopped: "Who let you open the door?" The homeowner was startled. "The house is mine. You made the inside so stinky, can I not see it?" “The lease term has not yet expired, it is illegal for you to enter!” Officer Cao asked the homeowner: "Have you seen the woman who lives with him recently?" “Seen it a few times.” “Hair dyed red, tattoos on arms, quite hot temper.” "Last week the two of them fought on the stairs, she scratched Mr. Tran's face." Tran Thu Nghia immediately defended: "She's gone." The homeowner pouted: "Her motorbike is still parked in the backyard." The hallway is completely quiet. Police Officer Cao asked his colleagues to verify the motorbike's information. Tran Thu Nghia started struggling again. “The motorbike broke down, she doesn't need it anymore!” “What does that prove?” “You can't arrest me because of what a crazy woman said!” I took two steps toward the door. The smell of disinfectant is mixed with the smell of rot. Under the door of the room were stuffed two wet towels. Officer Cao sat down to check, his face changed. “Notify technical staff.” Tran Thu Nghia was completely panicked. “There's a dead mouse inside!” "A few days ago, I killed rats. I was afraid the smell would escape so I sealed the door." As soon as Officer Cao signaled with his eyes, the police immediately pressed him to the ground. The homeowner immediately took the spare key and opened the door. As soon as the door opened a small crack, the stench immediately rushed out. The homeowner leaned on the railing and vomited. I was stopped by the police outside, only footsteps could be heard in the room. A few minutes later, a policeman wearing a mask came out. “Captain Cao, behind the wardrobe in the bedroom there is a newly built wall.” Technicians remove the thin layer of bricks outside the gap. When the first layer of plastic bags was exposed, the homeowner's legs were weak and he could barely stand. The bag carrying the body was carried out, inside was a young woman. Her red hair has faded, and the butterfly tattoo on her left arm is still clearly visible. I didn't get any closer. But at that moment, I finally confirmed that the phone call had not lied to me. The future really did happen. If I sign the contract today, Tran Thu Nghia will seal her in my living room wall. Three years later, when I was discovered, the person who bought the house, repaired the house, and lived in it permanently was me. All doubts will fall on me. Tran Thu Nghia sat on the stairs, muttering over and over again: "It's not me who killed her." “She died on her own.” Police Officer Cao coldly asked: "Then why did you build the wall?" Tran Thu Nghia could not answer. Downstairs, urgent footsteps were heard. Unexpectedly, Trinh Da and Trieu Kien Quoc also ran over. After seeing the body being carried out, Trinh Da's face immediately turned pale. He ran in front of me, wanting to grab my arm. “Tri Y, there really is…” I took a step back. His hand reached out and stopped in mid-air. Trieu Kien Quoc punched Tran Thu Nghia in the face. “You almost killed me!” Tran Thu Nghia spit out a mouthful of blood, suddenly turned his head and pointed at me. “It's her!” “It was Lam Tri Y who told me to hide the body!” “She knew long ago that someone in the house had died, because she herself had killed someone!” 8 Trieu Kien Quoc still wanted to take action but was forcibly pulled away by the police. Tran Thu Nghia seized the opportunity, speaking faster and faster. The body bag was carried out, inside was a young woman.h.?” “Why did she even know that I was going to hide my body in the wall?” “Comrade police, do you think, can ordinary people know so clearly?” "She's the culprit. I'm just helping her deal with her body!" Trinh Da immediately turned to look at me. That action made the last bit of anticipation in me completely disappear. Officer Cao was not led. "The deceased was found in the place you rented. You bought the disinfectant and wall materials." “The surveillance camera also recorded the last time she appeared when she followed

you come into this building.” "You said Lam Tri Y murdered people, where is the evidence?" Tran Thu Nghia was so frantic that he gritted his teeth. “She gave me money!” “Cash, one hundred thousand!” “It's under the bed in the room!” The technician sure enough pulled out a black travel bag from under the bed. Inside were all hundred dollar bills. After counting at the scene, it was exactly one hundred thousand. Trinh Da asked me in a low voice: "Have you ever withdrawn money recently?" I asked back: "You doubt me again?" “I just want to help you explain.” “You expressed your doubts first, then told me it was helping.” Trinh Da was speechless. Officer Cao quickly found a bank seal in the lining of the travel bag. One hundred thousand was withdrawn three days ago, the person who withdrew the money was Tran Thu Nghia. Surveillance cameras and banking transaction history can all be compared. The testimony made up by Tran Thu Nghia was immediately exposed.
