“Where is the person?” Xiao Wang asked.

“Moved from the bathroom to the bedroom and covered with a quilt,” replied my husband.

I couldn’t quite understand what they were talking about,

There were only three people in this house,

I had voluntarily hidden in the bedroom,

So, who was the fourth person lying on the bed?

At the thought of this,

I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat,

Could it be something unclean?

I trembled as I crawled out from under the bed,

The quilt on the bed was uneven,

Upon closer inspection, it was shaped like a person.

At this moment, Xiao Wang’s voice came from the living room again,

“Bro, what exactly happened? How did this person die?”

My husband sighed,

“It’s too late to say anything now; we need to deal with the body quickly. Although Liu Min’s sudden appearance at noon disrupted my plan, it was quite a surprise.”

“Surprise? That foolish woman was all paranoid, and you insisted I play along with her. What’s the point? Don’t tell me you have your eye on her?”

I pressed my ear tightly against the bedroom door,

My heart was in a panic.

My husband continued,

“You don’t understand. Now that Liu Min can serve as our witness and the body has soaked in water, the police will be misled about the time of death. Once we show our faces in the downstairs surveillance, we’ll have an alibi.”

What does he mean? Why would I be a witness?

The only thing I can prove is that my husband didn’t kill anyone while I was home,

But I don’t know what happened before I returned.

It must be that my husband didn’t want me to get involved,

So he deliberately concealed the truth,

I reassured myself.

Who exactly is the corpse on the bed?

I slowly turned around,

And gently lifted a corner of the quilt,

A cold wind blew in through the window,

Making me shiver.

Having worked in a hospital for years,

I had become accustomed to seeing corpses,

But somehow, this time,

An old, familiar fear made my every move slow and cautious.

Just as I was about to lift the quilt,

A voice suddenly sounded behind me,

“Liu Min? What are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be at work?”

I turned around to see my husband angrily questioning me.

“I, I just wanted to surprise you,” I stammered.

My husband stared at me suspiciously,

“Dun, dun, dun, dun, this is the new phone I bought for you. Thank you, thank you, husband, for preparing so many surprises for me today.”

He didn’t take the new phone I handed over, but asked,

“What did you hear just now?”

“Huh? Was there something I should have heard? I didn’t hear anything.”

I tried my best to look innocent as I gazed at my husband,

His face was both familiar and strange.

Faced with this situation,

I couldn’t tell if the person in front of me,

Would also turn on me.

“Take your present. I need to get to work; otherwise I’ll be late.”

As I spoke, I quickly moved towards the living room.

My husband, holding the new phone,

Looked at me suspiciously and followed me slowly,

Appearing to hesitate about something.

The door was already within reach,

And I just wanted to escape from this place immediately.

However, just as I turned the doorknob,

The light from the hallway fell on my face,

I felt a sharp pain on the left side of my head,

I swayed and fainted,

In the last moment of consciousness,

Through my blurred vision, I saw a little green dinosaur dragging my foot,

And it was saying,

“How could she not have heard our conversation? Letting her go would be the death of us!”
