Chapter 111


    “Any questions?” Marina asked calmly.


    Daniel waspletely speechless.


    “Questions?


    “Of course!


    “I was lying at least 30 feet away from the door.


    “How could this person hear my breathing from that far away?


    “After all these years as a police officer, 1 am already used to breathing quietly as much as possible


    when asleep.


    This was to avoid being noticed by the criminals.


    “How could this youngdy notice my breathing from such a distance?” Daniel thought.


    The back of the victim’s head was bashed in. The murder weapon should be something like a metal


    bat


    Marina ignored Daniel’s doubtful look and spoke to herself.


    Meanwhile, Daniel kept staring at Marina.


    “What are you staring at? Put that in the report,” Marina said as she raised her head and caught Daniel


    motionless.


    There was even a hint of annoyance in her tone.


    Daniel was at a loss for words again.


    Finally, Daniel came back to his senses and began jotting down notes in the report.


    Marina then moved on to inspect the arms and hands of the victim.


    “All ten fingers are broken, and all the nails have been pulled out.


    “Four broken ribs. Several fractures in both legs.”


    The list went on….


    Marina felt more and more horrified as she examined the corpse.


    The victim had definitely undergone unimaginable torture before dying.


    What kind of hatred could the perpetrator have against the deceased to torture them like this?


    Naj


    “Give me a hand, Marina said after she finished examining the front side of the body, She wanted to


    proceed and flip the corpse over.


    This time, Daniel was no longer in a daze. He quickly went forward and helped Marina turn the corpse


    over.


    Daniel was quick to assist her this time. The moment when the corpse was flipped over, Marina’s eyes


    were instantly drawn


    to the tattoo on the neck.


    This was…


    Marina immediately stepped forward and carefully examined it.


    Marina realized that the tattoo was identical to the pattern of the organization she was trying to track


    down.


    “What’s wrong? Did you find something?” Daisy asked, somewhat puzzled, as she watched Marina


    staring at the tattoo in a


    irance.


    “Aunt Daisy, you said you’ve received how many bodies with this kind of tattoo recently?” Marina


    turned to look at Daisy.


    “Including the one you’re examining now, there have been eight in total,” Daisy replied.


    “Aunt Daisy?” Daniel thought.


    Standing at the side, Daniel noticed the way Marina addressed their chief.


    “Marina is Daisy’s niece.


    “No wonder she was so calm in the face of a surprise.


    “No wonder the chief said that I couldn’t afford to have her on my team.


    “I really can’t,” Daniel thought.


    Daniel looked at Marina with regret.


    She was indeed a promising young talent.


    “Do all eight bodies have this tattoo?” Marina’s tone was tinged with urgency.


    Before Daisy could answer. Daniel interrupted suddenly.


    “No.”


    “No?” Marina turned around.

    “Right. Of the eight bodies, only three have it. The remaining five don’t have any tattoos.”


    “Can


    you


    show me the autopsy report of the other seven bodies?” Marina Bailey frowned.


    “Sure.” Daniel agreed without hesitation.


    After all, Marina was the person that their chief invited over, so there was no problem with her looking


    at the autopsy


    reports.


    Daniel went to get the previous autopsy reports as requested.


    Marina carefully flipped through the first seven.


    It was indeed as Daniel had said.


    Of the first seven corpses, only two had tattoos.


    The others did not.


    However, their cause of death was very simr.


    They had all been tortured and died in agony.


    Marina’s intuition told her that all these people were definitely rted to the mysterious organization.


    “What’s wrong? Did you find anything?” Seeing Marina’s sudden change in expression, Daniel also


    became serious.


    “I’m still not sure yel. After I finish examining this corpse, I need to take another look at the other seven


    bodies,” Marina said


    as she put down the autopsy report and started to focus on dissecting the corpse in front of her.


    That day, Marina performed the post–mortem on a total of eight corpses.


    But after all was done, her expression remained unchanged.


    She even looked quite energetic.


    Up till then, Marina was working on something in theboratory.


    Daniel thought that she must have found something.


    Therefore, he patiently waited by Marina’s side.


    “She was so focused, intelligent, and careful.


    “What a promising young officer!” Daniel thought.


    “Chief, Marina really can’t join my team?” Daniel had never wanted someone so much before.


    But Daisy didn’t answer his question and just gave him a look to interpret himself.


    Daniel instantly understood.


    He felt even more regretful now.


    While they were chatting, Marina had made some progress in her experiment.


    “I got it!”


    Marina eximed. Both Daisy and Daniel went over to see what had happened.


    “What’s going on?”


    Marina gestured toward the piece of paper in her hand.


    There were some faintly shing numbers on it.


    “What is this?” Daniel furrowed his brow.


    “You told me earlier that only three of the eight bodies had tattoos.” Marina put down the paper in her


    hand.


    “Yes, you saw that too, right?” Daniel nodded.


    “You got it wrong. In fact, all eight bodies had tattoos!” Marina dered with a degree of certainty.


    “That’s impossible. I examined the bodies as well, and there were definitely no tattoos.” Daniel’s frown


    deepened.


    “You didn’t notice the tattoos because they had all been removed. Marina enunciated each word.


    “Removed?” Daniel and Daisy eximed with great surprise in unison.


    “Yes, these tattoos were all done with special ink, which is usually not removable. But I just did an


    experiment using a special solution. This solution canpletely remove their tattoos, and there won’t


    be any trace left afterward. However, if another solution is applied, you can faintly see the previous


    design.”


    Marina exined, before picking up the solution and heading toward the corpses without tattoos.


    She dipped a cotton swab into the solution and lightly applied it to the back neck of one of the bodies.


    To everyone’s surprise, a faint mark appeared on the back of that person’s neck.


    There’s indeed a tattoo?” Daniel’s pupils dted in surprise upon seeing this.


    Marina checked the remaining bodies.


    Every corpse reacted to the solution.


    “So… these people all had the same tattoo? Are they part of the same organization?” Daniel frowned


    again.


    “That’s right!” Marina said loud and clear.


    Her eyes flickered with a glimmer.


    “This group is even showing their faces in Janeborough.


    “And they are causing trouble for Aunt Daisy.


    “Was this a coincidence, or were they specifically targeting the Bailey family?” Marina wondered.
