"Are the results of the DNA test out yet?"

Zane repeatedly dissected my body, trying hard to find any clues about the victim.

"No, we don't have anyone in our DNA database who can match up."

"Have there been any missing persons reports recently?"

"No. I found it strange. The deceased is a pregnant woman, but her husband or other family doesn't even bother to look for her."

As Zane was chatting with Cody, Joe pushed the door open.

"We've expanded the search area again, but there is no news of her head and feet. Also, we're searching closely for the child you mentioned.

"Zane, don't you have any doubts? To stop us from knowing the identity of the victim, the murderer hides the head, but why are there no feet?

"Perhaps because we can identify the deceased by the feet, the murderer intentionally hid them to confuse us."

Zane nodded in agreement. "Very likely."

The assistant added cautiously, "Mr. Smith, Mr. Lawson, do you think the murderer has some kind of quirk? Since he's so cruel to a pregnant woman, can it be that he hates women? There was a similar case in our hometown before. A man suspected that the baby in his wife's belly was a bastard, so he insisted on taking the baby out for a DNA test.

"After he escaped, he continued to commit crimes, killing women like prostitutes."

At this point, Zane's face darkened even more, as if he had suffered some kind of humiliation.

Joe waved his hand and asked Cody to leave first.

"Zane, have you contacted Chloe before?"

"If you're free, why not ask her to sign the divorce agreement and send it over quickly? By then, everyone won't feel embarrassed."

Joe seemed to have suddenly thought of something and suggested, "Since the deceased was a pregnant woman, she should have been to a hospital. Let's go and check it out."

"If you had stopped thinking of Chloe, you would have already found out the truth," Zane scoffed.

Seeing that he didn't trust me at all, I floated in the air, smiling bitterly.

With so many obvious clues, Zane never suspected me.

It seemed like I had disgusted him so much.

All of a sudden, Zane took out his phone and made a call.

His voice was so gentle that I knew who he was calling immediately.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Darling, I just had a nightmare. I was so scared that I didn't dare to close my eyes."

Hearing his words, Zane glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening.

He pinched his brows and took off his white coat. "It's all my fault. Don't worry. I'll go home right now. Turn on the light and wait for me."

Zane used to be a workaholic. Every time he encountered a difficult case, he would eat and live at his office.

At that moment, he just told me that he wanted justice for the deceased. Otherwise, it would make him feel guilty.

I didn't understand why he could stop working and go back now.

Or the current corpse lying on the dissection bed was also dirty in his heart.

It seemed like researching my body wasn't worth the effort.

A dirty person like me really couldn't be compared with his true love.

However, I was unwilling.

I was Zane's legal wife, while Lily meant nothing to him.

Later, I followed Zane back to where he lived now.

It was Zane's first apartment, his pre-marital property.

To prevent me from hurting his beloved one, he made very thorough arrangements.

Yet, Zane didn't know how wicked the woman in his arms was.

During the days without me, he came here every day. He kept dancing with her, watching the moon with her, and sleeping with her.

What he did was also disgusting.

"Darling, you finally come back..."

Upon opening the door, Zane was hugged by someone.

She nestled in his arms, trembling helplessly. "I dreamed... I dreamed that Chloe had found this place... She..."

The more she spoke, the more emotional she became. In the end, she was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.

Zane held her in his arms with affection and wiped away her tears gently. He then took her to the sofa to coax her.

"Don't worry. I'm always here. I will protect you and won't let her hurt you.

"If she dares to hurt you, I will publish everything she did. Take it easy. As long as I'm here, she won't do anything to you."

Lily happily hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.

He just enjoyed the sweet moment and didn't notice that a smug smile played over her lips.

She acted as if she were a winner.

The two kissed passionately. As I could hardly bear to watch it anymore, they finally separated.

"Have you had any difficult cases recently? You look very tired."

"Yeah. We found a female corpse that was dismembered. Until now, we haven't found all the body parts yet."

"Oh my! It's so scary." She pretended to be a coward and got into Zane's arms, "Have you found anything now?"

"Nothing special. You'd better not go out recently. It's safest to just stay at home."

She nodded obediently, but in fact, her eyes were full of arrogance and pride.

"Zane, how about giving that woman a call? With such a big incident, you should also warn her."

"Lily, you are too kind. She can't hold a candle to you. Don't mention her anymore. I feel sick.

"Don't let her destroy the relationship between us."

I even began to believe that I was really dirty.

As for Zane, he would never expect that the person he was holding in his arms was the real devil.

Finally, Zane was called back by Joe.

"Have you contacted Chloe?"

Zane said unhappily, "You called me back just for this unimportant thing?

"Why would I contact her? I don't want to disgust myself after all."

Joe handed over the information to Zane and reminded him, "This is information I found. You have to be mentally prepared."

Zane read the document and then was stunned.

"After investigation, we find that the crime scene is in an abandoned factory not far from a hospital. We've checked that hospital. Except for Chloe, all other pregnant women here are alive and well!

"Did you know that Chloe was already four months pregnant and she did not go home after leaving the hospital?"

"So what?" Zane retorted indifferently and then threw away the document in his hand.

"Having checked the surveillance footage, we found that Chloe disappeared less than 2 kilometers from the crime scene!

"Zane, no matter how furious you are, can you cool down and take the matter seriously?"

Zane lost his patience completely and shouted back, "What? Do you think so just because she's pregnant?

"You're the person who can't cool down now! Does a person kill Chloe? It's impossible! There isn't a person who is more vicious than her. Even the baby in her belly is a bastard!

"Since she dares to cheat on me, she deserved it, even if she dies."

Joe's face became livid because of the quarrel, and he was so angry that he couldn't utter a word.

I didn't expect Joe, my fellow villager, to trust me more than my husband.

Neither could convince the other, creating a tense atmosphere.

Suddenly, Walter ran in again and said, "There's another package for you."

This time, the recipient was Zane, and the sender wasn't me.

Opening the package, Zane found a horrible doll inside with its stomach cut open.

Besides, there was a scar on her eyebrow.

Zane took out his cell phone and typed messages to me frantically.

[Chloe, you bitch! You threatened me with a baby! You didn't even let go of the bastard in your belly!]

[Do you think I will change my mind because of it? It's impossible! What I regret the most is to marry you. Sleeping in the same bed with you really makes me sick!]

[Stop making trouble. If you don't sign the divorce agreement, I'll apply for legal enforcement. We should end anyway!]

Joe picked up the doll and looked at it carefully.

"Zane, Chloe usually doesn't make such a joke. Look at her eyebrows...

"Chloe said before that at a very young age, she was naughty and hit her eyebrow bone against a stone, leaving a scar.

"Don't you think the doll looks alike..."

Zane looked at him and snorted with disdain, "That's enough! She is just a crazy woman who will do everything to achieve her goals. Do you want me to surrender by playing such a trick? No way!"

Later, Zane sat in front of the computer and looked through the deceased's photos.

Walter said cautiously, "Mr. Smith, there was blood on that foot last time, so I didn't dare to throw it away.

"I always feel like it has a strange smell."

After that, Joe smelled the doll carefully, and then he suddenly shouted, "It’s sandalwood!"

He then exclaimed, "Sandalwood can mask the smell of a corpse.

"Zane, hurry up and run the test! Something bad must have happened to Chloe!"

"Even if she dies, it has nothing to do with me!"

As the two were arguing, Walter stepped back in fear and accidentally knocked over the luminol reagent on the table.

The foot gradually showed signs of reaction.

Finally, it revealed a face.
