The neighbor watered the same patch of land every day, where nothing was growing 😱😱: when the police arrived, they found something horrifying.
Every morning, precisely at 6:30, my neighbor would step into the yard with a yellow hose in her hands. And every time—always the same thing: she watered a small patch of earth by the fence. Always that one spot. The rest of the yard, where tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries grew, stayed dry.
At first, I thought she had some particularly delicate plants there. But after a few days, it became clear—nothing was growing there. Just wet soil.
One day, I couldn’t hold back and asked:
— Why do you water this spot so often?

She shivered, her hands trembled, and without looking at me, she muttered:
— I have potatoes here… a special kind.
Potatoes? Every day, and so much water? I realized she was lying. But I decided not to press her—just to watch.
A week passed. The soil remained empty, and the neighbor grew increasingly nervous and irritable. Sometimes I caught her heavy gaze on me, as if she knew I was starting to suspect something.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. Only one thought kept spinning in my mind: what if something was really wrong there? The next morning, I called the police. My report seemed strange to them, but they agreed to check it out. And what the police found in her yard shocked everyone.

When the police entered the yard, the neighbor turned pale. She tried to justify it, saying it was just a habit, that she felt bad leaving plants without water. But the more she spoke, the more tangled her words became.
One of the officers knelt by the wet soil and began to dig. Within minutes, the shovel hit something hard. When they removed the layer of soil… I nearly screamed.
A human hand was sticking out of the ground.
Later, it turned out: it was her husband, who had mysteriously “disappeared” a couple of months ago. She had taken his life during an argument and buried him right in the yard, hoping no one would find out.

She had planted seeds on top to hide it, but the panicked watering caused them to rot, leaving bare soil—which gave her away.
Sometimes I think… if she had watered the whole garden, I might never have noticed anything.
