After finishing up, Huang De Han retrieved a spare set of clothes from the trunk.
He often kept a spare set of clothes in the trunk.
Once he changed into the fresh clothes, he hastily got into the car and drove away.
As he drove, he pondered on how to deal with the body in the car.
Should he bury it?
The thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately dismissed it.
No, that won't work!
He didn't know where to bury it, and burying a body required digging a deep hole. If it was too shallow, it would be easily discovered.
He considered various options, but he rejected them all.
He couldn't just dump the body somewhere because no matter where he left it, it would eventually be found.
After careful consideration, he decided to buy a freezer and freeze the body.
But where should he put the freezer?
He couldn't keep it at home because his daughter came back every week. If she discovered it, he would be done for.
He decided to rent a house to store the body.
As long as the body wasn't exposed, no one would discover that he had committed murder.
With this in mind, he pulled over, took out his phone, and opened an app called "58 Tongcheng" to search for rental listings near his home.
He quickly found a one-bedroom apartment that caught his attention.
He immediately contacted the landlord.
After making an appointment with the landlord, he went home, took a shower, and then walked to meet the landlord.
The apartment he wanted to rent was very close to his home, just one street away, only a few minutes' walk.
It was a fully furnished one-bedroom apartment, and Huang De Han was satisfied with it.
He signed a one-year lease with the landlord and paid a year's rent in advance.
After the landlord left, he turned off the lights and thoroughly checked the apartment, inside and out, to see if there were any hidden cameras.
Once he confirmed that there were no cameras, he left.
It was only 9:30 p.m. and the mall was still open, so he hailed a taxi and went to buy a large freezer.
Since it was late at night, the delivery personnel had already finished work, so the freezer would be delivered the next day. Huang De Han had no choice but to leave his phone number and the address of the rental apartment.
Then he went to buy a large suitcase and a big bag.
After buying the items, he took a taxi back home.
He took out a pair of gloves, a cleaver, several packs of wet wipes, a few bottles of mineral water, and a few spare sets of clothes from home.
He put all these things into his car and then drove off.
He drove to a secluded place, put on the gloves, and first put Xiao Xiao's body into a bag, and then placed it in the suitcase.
After packing the body, he put the suitcase in the trunk.
Then he took out the wet wipes and began to clean the bloodstains in the car.
The car was a mess, with blood everywhere.
The bloodstains on the seats were easy to clean, but the ones on the floor mats couldn't be completely removed. He had no choice but to collect the floor mats and put them in the storage compartment where he had just placed the body.
After finishing these tasks, he was exhausted. His clothes were dirty and stained with blood.
He changed into a spare set of clothes.
He glanced at the time, it was already half past midnight. He drove back to the rental apartment.
He pulled the suitcase into the rented room and placed it in the wardrobe.
One evening, his nerves were tightly wound. After the body was brought in, he let out a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up, staring at the wardrobe, feeling inexplicably scared.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag, trying to steady himself.
