Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 355

"Anybody home?" Rachel called out as she knocked on the old door adorned with paintings of door-gods.

As no one came out to answer the door for a while, she knocked again and called out more loudly,"Hellooo!... Is anybody home?"

Carl also got out of the car and helped Rachel, now shouting,"Anybody out there?"

"I don't think there's anybody living here now, Rachel," Carl said. He tried to push the door and to their surprise, it opened.

Rachel noticed the spider webs on the frame making it clear that this house hadn't been occupied for quite a while. But why did Grandpa Richard tell her that he was living here now?

She stepped inside and saw that there were pots and pans in the kitchen. In the bedroom, the covers and mattress were jumbled on the bed. But nobody was inside.

"Rachel, I think he moved away. Maybe the villagers, including Grandpa Richard, just didn't notice it!" Carl speculated.

Rachel thought for a moment and said,"I suppose so. Maybe he didn't want people to know and left quietly.

And I think it's not that long ago. Look at the spider webs, they're not that old. Also, there's only a thin layer of dust on the table. He probably just moved out, maybe just a few days ago." She concluded and couldn't help heaving a sigh.

Rachel usually came here and stayed a few days with Fannie from time to time. That was how she could guess that Dave had transferred somewhere else.

That made her think that maybe he heard some news and deliberately wanted to avoid seeing her.

"Rachel, I found a phone here on the table!" Carl shouted from across the room as he took it in his hands and pressed it. Seeing its screen turn on, he said,"We learned before that this man had nothing, but don't you think it's weird that he left a functioning phone behind? One that can make outgoing calls?"

Rachel took the phone from Carl and found that there was no SIM card inside.

She agreed with Carl. Dave must have gotten a new phone, otherwise he wouldn't leave this one just sitting on the table. It only made sense that he may have gotten a better one.

"Let's take this with us and see if we can find something useful from it." Rachel said with a sigh,"it seems that we have come here all the way for nothing. He knew we would come for him so he left."

Carl put the phone in a bag and said,"Yes, but where do you think he might go, Rachel?

He's alone and is in his 50s. I have no idea where he could go. Look at this place, I bet he didn't have the money to afford a better place to live in. Besides, if he had left several days ago, he would need money for food and lodging."

He looked around carefully and the only electric appliance he found was a black and white TV.

They left Dave's place and got in the car.

"It's easy to guess. Someone must have provided him enough money to settle down somewhere far away as he was trying to run away from us. When we find him, we will get the information we need." Rachel said as she buckled her seat belt.

She was neither Sherlock Holmes nor a police officer, but she could think to herself, especially that the whole matter was making nonsense.

"Rachel, what do you mean by saying that? Is that..." Carl asked and looked at her in a shock.

He was fully aware who the accuser was and who the suspect was.

"Let's go back!" Rachel sighed heavily and in the car, she leaned back on her seat.

Since Gavin had sent his messenger to her with a directive, she was sure that he had made up of his mind to settle everything, his way.

"Rachel, Uncle Gavin is going too far with this matter. I grew up with Hiram, and I knew everything that happened within the family. When his younger sister passed away, Uncle Gavin almost lost his mind. To make matters worse, their mother also passed away not long after. People said that she missed her daughter so much that she couldn't live without her. She died of a broken heart.

Maybe this is the reason why Uncle Gavin is like that. He still couldn't get over this tragedy." Carl said.

He sighed. Every family had its own nut to crack.
