Chapter 208: Martin Mo’s Resistance
I changed into a plain dress, Martin Mo leaned against the front of the car and smoked, the green smoke lingered, he narrowed his eyes, “Really want to go?”
“Uh-huh.” I wrapped my jacket, pulled open the door and got into the car.
The windows were left open and the cold wind was howling, the chilly breeze clearing the mind even more.
Martin Mo finally took a deep drag on his cigarette, stubbed it out in the front of the car, squinted slightly at the distance, and then pulled open the main driver’s door to come up, “You sleep for a while, I’ll call you when we get there.”
It was still just slightly light, and it would take an hour from here to the cemetery without traffic.
“No need.” I looked out the window; the streets were currently empty, and the morning bus was pretty much empty, with only a handful of people snoozing against the windows.
Martin Mo sits in the main driver’s seat for a moment before starting the car.
He closes the window for fear I’ll get cold, and I say, “Leave a little gap, it’s stuffy.”
The airless space was suffocating.
“Good.” He rolled the window down a little more.
His car speed is not fast, from the beginning he did not want me to go to Nancy Richter’s funeral, I know his concern, if I really show up at the funeral, the Richter family people will not spare me, so I did not intend to meet with them, intend to wait until the funeral is over and then go over.
On the way, Hill Yi called, Martin Mo wearing a bluetooth headset to connect, I could not hear Hill Yi said on the other end of what, leaning against the car window to rest his eyes, suddenly, only to hear Martin Mo said: “What.” I was so shocked to hear Martin Mo say, “What?”, a sharp brake, stopped on the road, due to inertia, body leaned forward, head hit the front of the car, the pain of me sucked in a breath of cold air.
Martin Mo phone did not even have time to hang up, urgently said, “Alva, all right.”
I rubbed my forehead, “Fine.”
Martin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, the car behind a horn urging, Martin Mo looked back, said into the phone, “Wait until I come back.” After that, he took off his Bluetooth headset, started the car and drove out.
After Hill Yi called, Martin Mo has been distracted, ran two traffic lights, I frowned and asked, “What happened?”
“Nothing.” He didn’t even look at me as he stepped on the gas and sped up.
Martin Mo is a man who can’t keep his thoughts to himself, but lately he’s been full of them.
I thought of Lucien Bo’s incident and asked, “Are you and Hillie okay?”
I don’t know how Martin Mo and Hillie are doing after that day, but Hillie hasn’t been to my place since that day.
“Very well.” The corner of Martin Mo’s mouth brought a smile, “Don’t worry about us, a little thing is just a little thing, if I counted on it, I wouldn’t have married her, since I married her, naturally I can also accept her past, we recently started preparing for pregnancy, the old man wants to hold a grandchild.”
“That’s quite good.”
Seeing Martin Mo and Hill Yi well, his heart was somewhat relieved.
The car quickly arrived at the cemetery.
As soon as I entered the parking lot, I saw Walker Richter’s car, Martin Mo also saw it, he purposely circled around the parking lot and parked his car at the furthest place from the Richter family’s car.
After the car was parked, we didn’t rush to get out of the car, and waited in the car until nearly ten o’clock, when the funeral was over.
I pushed open the car door and got out, but Martin Mo had no intention of getting out, I looked at him and he said, “I’ll wait in the car.”
“Good.” I didn’t think much of it and took the flowers toward Nancy Richter’s headstone.
I deliberately waited in the car for so long, thinking that everyone in THE Richter family was gone, but I didn’t realize that Ben Richter hadn’t left yet.
Ben Richter didn’t see me, and when I saw him coming this way, I hurriedly hid behind a tombstone.
“Ben, wait for me.”
A veiled woman jogged toward Ben Richter, afraid she wouldn’t be able to catch up.
When people got closer and saw the woman’s appearance, I was shocked, it was Tina Deross.
The woman in plain clothes was Tina Deross.
Ben Richter stopped and waited for her, his voice was a bit gentle: “Slow down, you’re just getting better, the stone is slippery, be careful of falling.”
Tina Deross smiled and held Ben Richter’s wrist, her tone was a bit petulant: “Who let you not wait for me.”
I stared at Tina Deross, taking in her every move, every smile, every move, this is Tina Deross, then what happened to the body in the warehouse?
Ben Richter naturally held Tina Deross’s hand, “Then you’ll have to stay close to me from now on.”
“I’ll go wherever you go from now on.” Tina Deross tilted her head and said, “I want to go see Aner.”
“Good.”
I watched the two walk away, fading in a haze that made everything seem like a fantasy.
Tina Deross was really alive.
Even seeing it for the second time was still unbelievable.
After a long time I came back to my senses, the cemetery was deserted, and the silence was so deafening that it made your heart grow a little fuzzy.
I held the flowers and walked to Nancy Richter’s tombstone, looking at the tombstone on Nancy Richter’s beautiful smile, I can not help but feel sorry.
She was only twenty-two years old, the brightest age, she had a good family, good looks, talent, she should have had a very good life, but it all ended before it began.
I remembered the first time I met Nancy Richter.
The first time I met her, she gave me a hard time and insisted that I play the piano.
After that it was also difficult many times, and she was against me at every turn.
Nancy Richter was hateful at times, but not at all hypocritical; her joys and sorrows, liking and hating someone were all on her face.
The last time we met, she was covered in blood and her pain was unforgettable for the rest of her life.
“Who the hell killed you.” I mumbled as I placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, “What were you trying to say that night, and why did you ask me for help?”
The truth of it all could only be known when the case was solved.
“Nancy Richter, have a good trip, whoever killed you will be caught sooner or later, and that day can’t be far away.”
“Alva.”
Martin Mo suddenly appeared behind me, startling me.
“I thought you weren’t coming over?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“I saw that you hadn’t come back for so long, and I was uneasy so I came over to check.” Martin Mo looked askance at Nancy Richter on the tombstone with a pale gaze and said to me, “Let’s go.”
“Good.”
I gave a final bow to the tombstone and left along with Martin Mo.
On the way back, I thought of his wide network and said, “Nancheng, do you have any friends who are very good at investigating cases, I want to know who actually killed Nancy Richter.”
“Investigating cases is what the police should do.” Martin Mo gazed ahead, “Nancy Richter’s social relations are complicated, who knows who she offended and brought about her death, Alva, you should also stay out of this matter, anything that has anything to do with the Richter family will not have a good outcome.”
“Don’t say this implicates me, even if I’m not a suspect, Nancy Richter died so tragically, I want to know who really killed her.” I stared at Martin Mo and pursed my lips, “Martin Mo, you seem to be resistant to Nancy Richter’s case, why?”
