Who hid My Corpse! - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Eleven There’s blood on the bed

After parting ways with Kelsay, Ulu hurried back to the church, back to Lu Ji’s room.

There was no helping it, the crime scene Ulu had previously cleaned might deceive ordinary people, but fooling a professional like Kelsay wouldn’t be so easy, further disguises were necessary.

For instance, burying Lu Ji’s body deeper.

But Ulu quickly calmed down and dismissed this unreliable idea.

After all, no one knew when Kelsay would come over, and if he were caught by Kelsay while digging up a body or shoveling dirt, that would indeed be walking right into a trap.

As for other aspects…

Ulu returned to Lu Ji’s room and looked around, unsure of what else to do. Moving the body, cleaning up the blood was all he could think of, maybe just figuring out how to eradicate the remaining smell in the room.

But that wasn’t a big issue, just sprinkling some consecrated water used for exorcism would do, having the smell of holy water in a priest’s room was nothing unusual.

But was that enough?

Ulu didn’t know. He had killed before but never needed such troublesome measures.

Could this level of disguise really fool Kelsay?

Ulu was truly uncertain, although he had just thought that if he were really discovered by Kelsay, he could use Lord Visas’s power to kill Kelsay just like he killed Lu Ji.

Yet, that was undoubtedly the worst choice.

Kelsay and Lu Ji were different, not just in combat strength and position. Kelsay also had an entire squad of Rhein Knights around him.

Killing Kelsay under the protection of these knights was too difficult. If he failed, he would be wanted by the entire Rhein Divine Sect, and then, even if Lord Visas had great influence… he only had one finger left, not even a whole hand.

So, Ulu would absolutely not dare to attack Kelsay like he did Lu Ji.

“You’re too nervous,” Bai Wei said lightly as he watched Ulu pacing back and forth in front of Lu Ji’s door. “Your behavior right now is telling everyone that you were the one who killed him, when in fact no one knows that he is dead.”

Ulu was startled.

Bai Wei’s words reminded him.

No one knew that Lu Ji was dead, and all his assumptions were built on the premise that Kelsay had discovered Lu Ji’s death and started an investigation.

But Kelsay didn’t know that Lu Ji was dead yet, and under normal circumstances, Kelsay wouldn’t immediately suspect that Lu Ji was no longer alive just because he hadn’t returned to the church for a day or two. After all, Lu Ji was not a child, he was an adult with peculiar hobbies.

Unless Lu Ji never showed up, only then might Kelsay think in that direction.

But Kelsay was sent by Bishop Corey to inspect the disaster, and wouldn’t stay in the area for too long.

Therefore, there was still a good chance Ulu could get away with it!

“If you really don’t want to be suspected, then just go about your work normally,” Bai Wei said again. “Stop acting like it’s the end of the world.”

“I, I understand,” Ulu wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Thank you, thank you for your advice, Lord Visas! I’ll go work now!”

Bai Wei didn’t respond.

He reminded Ulu because Kelsay was indeed not easy to deal with, considered an elite enemy in the game, and with Bai Wei’s current state, it was quite difficult to kill him without taking unnecessary risks.

So, it was better to keep Ulu safe for now.

After receiving Bai Wei’s advice, Ulu calmed down considerably. After composing himself, he went to the church and began his normal work.

It was as if everything was normal, as if nothing had happened.

After all, Lu Ji rarely showed his face due to his age. If it weren’t for the incident with Kelsay, Ulu was sure no one would have noticed Lu Ji’s absence.

In time, he planned to naturally announce that Lu Ji had passed away one deep night without arousing any suspicion.

But now, Ulu could only hope to muddle through.

A few hours later, when the sun had completely set and the night had taken over the sky, Ulu sighed in slight relief.

Throughout the entire day, Kelsay hadn’t come to the church.

Perhaps, he had already left the town and moved to the next location.

In that case, wouldn’t that mean…

“Well well, Ulu, you really are diligent.”

As Ulu was about to close the church doors, Kelsay’s voice rang out like a nightmare.

Fortunately, Ulu was mentally prepared and smiled as he turned to the voice, “You said you would come over, but I’ve waited for you all day and you didn’t show up.”

“Hehe, I was just busy with work,” Kelsay stepped out of the darkness and gestured, causing the knights following him to silently disperse. “Where is Lu Ji? Surely the old man hasn’t gone to bed this early?”

“No,” Ulu answered expressionlessly, “he hasn’t come back yet.”

Kelsay stopped in his tracks, looking somewhat surprised, “He hasn’t come back? Where did he go?”

“Who knows?” Ulu shrugged nonchalantly, “He left early in the morning with a few bags of food, as for what he’s doing… I didn’t dare to ask.”

At that moment, Ulu’s heart was in his throat, fearful that Kelsay might sense something was off.

Fortunately, Kelsay didn’t think too much of it but instead flashed a somewhat suspicious smile, “That old fellow, at his age and still so childlike.”

“It’s out of kindness,” Ulu corrected, “He can’t stand seeing the children starve.”

“Oh, oh, oh, right, kindness, kindness,” Kelsay waved his hand, “Alright then, since the old guy isn’t here, I’ll just settle for you. I’m dead tired after a day’s journey, let’s go to your room for some tea.”

Seeing that Kelsay really wasn’t suspicious, Ulu breathed a huge sigh of relief internally, but kept his composure, simply smiling, “Of course, no problem.”

Then, he led Kelsay to his own room.

During that time, he worried that Kelsay might want to check Lu Ji’s room, but fortunately, Kelsay had no such intentions.

Once in the room, while pouring tea for Kelsay, Ulu asked, “How did your inspection go?”

“What else could it be? Just completing the task,” Kelsay lazily slumped onto Ulu’s bed, “Nothing substantial. The Lord Bishop told me to… hmm?”

Kelsay’s voice suddenly halted.

In that instant, a strong sense of unease surged in Ulu’s heart.

It felt like he had forgotten something important.

He turned sharply, only to see Kelsay holding his bedsheets, looking curious.

“Tell me, Ulu,” Kelsay spoke softly, “why is there so much blood on your bed?”
