Die Geschichte von Prinzessin Song in Heian-kyo

Kapitel 11

hurry up!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Ray quickly tried to calm them down, saying, "Everyone, calm down and concentrate."

Julie hesitated, trying to calm herself down, and then said to Barry, "How can you not understand, his body..."

There were car tracks on the road; you can't escape. This is called leaving the scene of an accident and fleeing the scene.

"What if we dispose of the body?"

Barry's idea stunned everyone, because it was an idea that no one dared to imagine.

Julie immediately realized: "Are you crazy!"

Helen almost cried: "Can we just pretend we were never here?"

Barry looked at the sea not far away, where the sound of waves crashing was deafening.

“We dragged him to the beach and pushed him in.” Barry walked to the roadside, where he could clearly see the distance from the road to the sea. “By the time we found him, the sea had already washed away some of the evidence…”

Ray got excited too: "Yeah, when we go find him..." He glanced at Julie; the two girls were...

Looking at him, she said, "The current is so strong, the waves would have swept him out to sea long ago."

Julie, being a law student, understood the legal consequences of doing so, so she couldn't accept the idea. However, she couldn't find a better way to escape her current predicament.

"Ah... I, I'm not involved in this."

“Julie, I…I’m so scared,” Ray pleaded. “I’m not like you, I have no connections, no…”

rich……"

Ray's words had no effect on Julie; her expression clearly showed that she disagreed with the plan.

Barry walked over: "Julie, this concerns your future. Think about it, you're on this bus, your big..."

"Your scholarship, your... Julie, he's dead. If we call the police, we're dead too..."

Suddenly, the sound of a car braking as it turned a corner could be heard in the distance.

"Damn it!" Barry growled and rushed toward the corpse.

Helen panicked and cried out in bewilderment, "What do we do?"

Barry yanked the body up and yelled, "Come on, help me!"

In the distance, a car was approaching, its headlights already clearly visible. Fortunately, because the road had a sharp turn, the car was not going fast.

Ray and Barry lifted the body and carried it to the side of the road, while Julie and Helen turned to face the oncoming car.

The car had clearly seen the people in front of it, and it slowed down.

"Oh no, he's stopped the car," Helen whispered.

The car headlights were on high beam, blinding Julie so much that she couldn't see anything. Julie whispered, "

Who is it?

“It’s Max.” Helen recognized the car’s owner from the car.

"Get rid of him!" Barry shouted from behind. Julie gritted her teeth and ran towards the car.

It was a van that could carry both passengers and cargo. Max leaned out of the van, glanced at the car parked by the roadside, and asked Julie, who had run up to him, "What's wrong? Did the car break down?"

Julie tried to catch her breath and said as calmly as possible, "Oh... Barry is drunk."

Although she knew Max was unlikely to go to help Barry, and that vomiting wasn't a pretty sight, she decided to keep Max in the car just to be on the safe side.

Clearly, Barry had overheard the conversation. He leaned against the roadside railing, pretending to vomit, while Ray watched him from the side.

“We…we didn’t want him to get the new car dirty…” Julie explained, her lie was well-crafted, but she forgot the fact that the front of the car was dented.

Max envied the BMW that had once been the envy of the entire town, so he naturally glanced at it in the rearview mirror. Fortunately, it wasn't very clear in the moonlight.

"Looks like it's not a new car anymore," Max said with a hint of schadenfreude. The damaged area was still clearly visible.

Julie forced a smile: "You're right, don't drive if you're drunk."

Max sneered, "His father will be very unhappy when he gets home, won't he?"

Ray walked over: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Max vividly remembered the conflict at the party, and he gave Ray a cold look: "You can..."

Put away that pretentious act!

Ray didn't want to cause any trouble right now, so he immediately nodded and pretended to be indifferent: "Okay, no problem, good night."

Max was somewhat confused by his actions. He looked at Ray and said sarcastically, "You now..."

He looks exactly like a rich kid.

If he continued, Ray might not be so good-tempered. After all, he had never thought much of Max, and now he had to listen to his ridicule. He was about to explode, but when he saw Julie's gaze, he held back and turned his head away to avoid revealing his secret with his burning eyes.

"Goodbye!" Ray said and walked away immediately. Max found it strange, but there was nothing he could do. Ray simply wouldn't take the bait, and he couldn't very well cause any more trouble here.

"Goodbye, Julie!" Max released the handbrake, the car started to roll, he lightly pressed the accelerator, the car roared to life, and drove away.

Barry looked up at the two red taillights disappearing around the corner, and slowly straightened up. He was so nervous that his face was covered in sweat, and he looked as if he had just thrown up.

The BMW drove over a fence, and not far away was the sea, with a simple wooden pier extending into the water.

The car stopped. It was already past midnight, and the surroundings were quiet and there was no sound.

Barry opened the trunk, and the body was crammed inside. The four men wrapped the body in a large tarpaulin; it was heavy, so they had to drag it toward the small wooden bridge.

"Even if the body washes ashore in two weeks, it will be chewed up by fish, shrimp, crabs, and the like..." Barry said as he dragged the body.

"The lucky ones are more likely to be sharks..."

The body was placed at the top of the wooden bridge; a simple push would erase all traces of it with the seawater.

The moonlight was so bright that every hair on the corpse could be clearly seen. On the corpse's arm was a tattoo of an anchor, with a few words next to it.

Julie glanced at it carefully; it was a woman's name—Susie.

Barry looked at the group and said, "Let's get started!"

Julie: "Wait!"

Ray was about to reach out when he heard this and paused, asking, "What?"

"Should we check his wallet or something?" Julie stared at the dead man strangely. "Let's see if he..."

who."

"Why make it so complicated?" Barry said impatiently, not wanting to waste another minute.

“I don’t know why…” Julie sighed softly, “I just want to know who he is, okay?”

?

Helen shook her head: "I don't want to know."

“Just think of him as Captain Hook who escaped from the asylum…” Barry held out his hand. “Ray, come here, help him…”

"I'll take it!"

Ray took a few steps back: "I...I can't do it..."

Bai Rui panicked: "Hey, we had an agreement!"

“Barry, you should pull back from the brink…” Julie tried to persuade him again, but Barry roared, “You…”

Shut up!

Helen stepped forward: "Move aside, I'll do it."

She and Barry went to move the body. Suddenly, the body moved and grabbed Helen. Helen was terrified and struggled violently, screaming loudly in fright.

Barry rushed forward and forcefully pushed the body into the water, but before the dead man went underwater, he snatched Helen's laurel wreath.

Helen couldn't stop him and hurriedly cried out, "He took my laurel wreath!"

The laurel wreath must never be in the hands of a dead man. Barry immediately leaped into the water. Near the shore, where the water plants were lush, the corpse stood there, the laurel wreath clutched in its hand. Barry strained to pull at the laurel wreath, when suddenly the corpse opened its eyes wide in the water, staring straight at him. This terrified Barry; he almost forgot he was in the water. He opened his mouth and screamed, a burst of bubbles rising from his mouth. He quickly gripped the laurel wreath, exhaled his last breath, and with a powerful kick, swiftly surfaced.

The three people on the shore were already very anxious. As soon as they saw Bai Rui surface, Ray hurriedly called out, "Hey, this..."

side!"

Barry climbed ashore, said nothing, simply handed the laurel wreath to Helen, and walked away.

The group exchanged glances, and Ray said, "Let's go."

The three men caught up with Bai Rui, and the four men silently crossed the wooden bridge.

Barry stopped. He didn't turn around, but said expressionlessly, "Let's go home now."

Yes, even if it's a huge deal, don't bring it up again, understand? And don't mention it to your therapist either! Do you agree?

Everyone remained silent. Barry suddenly erupted in anger: "Helen!"

Helen looked distressed and whispered, "I...I will never mention it again."

Barry stared at the others: "We swear now, we'll take this to our graves."

Ray nodded: "Agreed."

Barry turned to Julie beside him: "Julie, what about you?"

Julie nodded.

Barry snapped impatiently, "Don't nod. Damn it, just say it!"

Julie reluctantly said, "Okay."

Barry grabbed her and said, "We'll take this to our graves, tell us!"

He pinned Julie to the car and choked her.

Ray panicked and rushed forward to grab Barry, yelling, "Let her go!"

Barry completely ignored Ray's threat and kept staring at Julie: "Speak up."

Julie had no choice but to repeat Barry's exact words: "Okay. We'll take this to our graves."
