Chapter 2
As soon as Maxwell returned to the police station, Bob White, the police captain, patted him on the shoulder.
"Maxwell, don't work overtime tonight. Spend more time with Lena at home. You two are a couple..."
When my name was mentioned, Maxwell was disgusted.
"Mr. White, don't mention her. I'm done with her. I've already sent her the divorce agreement."
Bob sighed, "Hey, man. Don't be so stubborn! How about talking with her more? Why do you have to get a divorce? Is it because of Mia..."
Maxwell frowned and interrupted right now, "It's none of her business. It is Lena who goes too much. I have given her a chance, but she... Well, as a normal man, I can't tolerate it."
Bob still insisted, "I don't think Lena will cheat on you. Is there any misunderstanding?"
At this time, a police officer delivered an express delivery.
To be precise, it was just a box with the sender and recipient handwritten on it.
The sender's name was exactly mine.
Maxwell was about to throw the box away with a look of utter disgust.
Yet, Bob had already opened the express package. Then, he could smell the blood. Seeing what was inside, he was shocked.
Inside the box was a bloody finger and a photo.
Maxwell picked the finger up with an evidence bag.
"The fingers are fake, and the blood is red paint."
As for the photo, it was taken by a film camera.
The picture showed a dark room covered with shining fluorescent lights.
It looked like a...
"Starry sky?" Bob took a look and felt confused. "What does it mean?"
Chapter 3
Maxwell snorted, "Lena always likes playing this trick. What's wrong with her? It's really disgusting!"
Bob asked in confusion, "But what does this bloody finger mean? Could something have happened to Lena?"
"I don't buy it! She must try to attract my attention. She is just begging me not to divorce her and stay with her!" Maxwell was indifferent.
He then added, "She once knew Mia wanted to see the starry sky under the sea. So, maybe she threatens me that she will hurt Mia!
"She is a bitch. I feel sick just looking at her!
"The more you care about her, the more excited she is! I'd better do an autopsy and find out the truth as soon as quickly."
As a soul, I was floating in the air, feeling empty and sad.
He thought I was a bitch and felt disgusted just by looking at me.
Indeed, I also thought that I was repulsive.
Yet, he didn't know the reason, and I didn’t explain it.
I wondered if he really loved the woman called Mia.
Perhaps because he was afraid that I would really hurt his beloved one, he just threw the photo and the bloody finger into the trash can.
Later, he took out his cell phone and planned to send me a message, only to find that he had already blocked and deleted me earlier.
Thinking twice, he removed my phone number from the blacklist. After that, he called a few times, but no one answered.
He then sent me messages.
[Lena, if you dare to hurt her, I will make you pay for it!]
[Don't play these tricks anymore, you bitch! You disgust me! Even if you die, I won't even look at you!]
[Just sign the divorce agreement. She'll be jealous if I have anything to do with you!]
I felt a dull pain in my chest.
Maxwell was so caring towards me a few months ago. But now, he could utter these harsh words to me. How merciless he was!
I didn't cheat on him, and it was not my fault.
However, I was already dead, and the body in the suitcase was me.
Chapter 4
Standing beside the dissecting table made of stainless steel, Maxwell bowed to me first.
He then picked up a silver scalpel and cut right down the middle of my neck.
"The first soft rib is not calcified."
Later, he cut open the chest in one stroke. "Not much fat, no stretch marks, no surgical scars."
He gently twisted the edge of my lung lobe, reporting, "There is some bruising. So, there is severe emphysema in the lungs."
"There are bleeding spots in the pericardium," he added.
"It is mechanical asphyxiation that causes death."
While checking the sensitive parts, he frowned.
It was because it looked terrible.
I doubted if he thought of that case.
It was a rape and dismemberment case he once participated in and solved. At that moment, it shocked everyone in the entire city.
The case also sent me to hell.
Maxwell was very serious and pious when he was working. There was strong light above his head, and he used the scalpel with great skill.
It was the first time I saw him work, but I didn’t expect that I would become the one lying on the dissecting table.
It took him several hours to complete the autopsy. He also carefully wrote the autopsy report and the crime scene analysis report.
He handed over the two reports to Bob and then participated in the meeting.
The whiteboard was covered with photos of my body from various angles.
As the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy, Maxwell made a detailed analysis and summary.
"The deceased is a female, aged 20-25 years old. Based on the digestion of the stomach contents and the state of decomposition of the body, she died approximately 10 days ago.
"There are no stretch marks on her abdomen, but there is a history of pregnancy, so she should have had a miscarriage just before her death."
He paused for a while and frowned.
I wanted to ask Maxwell if he still remembered we once had a child...
Back to reality, he continued to report, "The wounds on the limbs were in a disorderly manner, indicating that the murderer had no experience and patience.
"He was excited and anxious perhaps because it was his first time killing someone. Or perhaps he was intentionally torturing the victim. In any case, the means of offense was cruel.
"Severe emphysema was found in the lungs. Poisoning was ruled out. It confirmed that she died from suffocation.
"The murderer is extremely cruel. It is suspected that he had a deep hatred for the deceased or the deceased's family...
"He killed and dismembered the woman just to vent his anger and seek revenge!"
At this time, everyone present was silent.
Bob said in a deep voice, "It's so similar."
Others knew which case he was talking about.
That case was something that few people could forget.
