Chapter 397. A Dead Body

Bexford, Bethanna

“We found a dead body,” Mark said as he stepped away from the men who were standing and watching Cole’s lifeless body on the floor.

“Send his pictures quickly to the office, so that we can begin identification.” Paul Edwards said from the other end. 

“We’re doing that already,” Mark said on his way out of the room. “With this dead body here, I feel something isn’t right.”

“Why? How was he killed?” Paul asked.

“A bullet in his chest.”

“Are there signs of any struggle?” 

“Not at all, everything looks in perfect order. Except that we found many footprints in the house. The guy could have been a hostage of some sort.”

“Why do you think so?” 

“He was killed in a lady’s room, we found a few clothing items of a lady. And from the kind of clothes, it was an old woman.”

“Take your time, Mark,” Paul said calmly. “Do everything that needs to be done and let us know anything you need from the office.”
