Because they differ their nationalities each other, they met secretly and deceived other people.

This is a good, concise expresssion of the book's key points, and of what is important for Hatsue's character. One suggestion I have is to use the word "body" instead of "carcass;" we usually reserve "carcass" for dead animals. If you want to use a more technical word, "corpse" can be used for a dead human body.
Anyway, you did a good job overall.
