Chapter 246
“Jesse, press it down with the stick.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just let the sack float away? It’s all tied up anyway.”
“No, what if it floats back up? Press it down and make sure she’s completely dead before letting go.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just dismember her?”
“It’s better to just make it look like a regular drowning. What if the girl’s father starts poking around? Tsk.”
They shoved the struggling sack with a blunt stick. Bubbles were rising from within. Given time, she would drown.
Cain knew that Verdic must not trace this back to Crown Prince Gueuze. Verdic occasionally supplied materials that left no traces. If he found out his daughter had been brutally murdered, he would investigate thoroughly. If he discovered that Gueuze had ordered it, things would get complicated.
“Ah, yes, that’s right. Just make it look normal… But shouldn’t we at least have a taste before killing her?”
“Maybe that would have been more normal. A prostitute who accepts money is better than one who cries and resists.”
“You’ve never tried it. Once you do, breaking them in is fun. By the way, what should we do for dinner after this?”
“Not sure… How about fried fish? Seeing them flap around makes me want to eat fish.”
