Chapter 1353
"This is what''s going on now. We found a male corpse near the scene of the ident, but you said that they tock your husband away. Hence, that
corpse can''t possibly be your husband. Please remain calm.”
"What did you say?" I shot up from my seat.
My body started shaking uncontrobly, and my eyes widened. I desperately hoped that he was joking.
"Calm down, Miss. We still aren''t sure if that''s your husband."
I sped my hands together tightly, feeling my nails dig into my flesh as fear took over me.
‘But we need you to help us identify if that man is your husband."
"Okay."

It felt like my heart was lodged in my throat. My legs were trembling, but I forced myself to keep walking. It was only a short distance, but it felt like the
longest walk of my life.
I followed the officer inte a room, and he said, "I''m letting her see if the corpse is her husband.”
"Alright."
I kept telling myself that there was no way it could be Theo, but a part of me feared the worst. What if it was him? This internal back-and-forth was
driving me insane.
They would never show me the corpse itself, so I could only look at photos. I walked over, my palms bleeding from where my nails had pierced into
my flesh. I tried my best to suppress my fear as I approached the photos on the wall.
When I looked at them, I was stunned.
"When we found the corpse, his face
had already een dissolved by acid.

I looked at the photos of the disfigured man. He was wearing a ck suit, just like the one Theo had worn to the funeral today. His height and size
were very simr to Theo''s, but I did not believe that it was him.
How could someone so powerful and dazzling die like this?
l inhaled deeply, then said, "He''s not my husband.
"Are you sure?"
I looked at the watch on his wrist and swallowed the pain bubbling up my chest.” I''m certain this is not my husband. There''s no way my husband
would just die like this.”
"Ma''am, I can understand how you''re

If he''s your husband, we''ll search

These words felt like a knife to my heart
I bit my lip and declined. "l said that
this isn''t my Kusband. Even though

my husband, I''m sure that this isn''t
him. We''ve lived together for-over a

without looking at his appearance."
"Then do you know who this is?"
I shook my head. "They disfigured this man for a reason. They want everyone to think that this is my husband. They must have some kind of motive
for this.”
Perhaps what I said made sense because the officer did not question me further.
This situation was a littleplicated, and more investigation was required. Once I was done with my testimony, Solomon took me away. He drove
