Chapter 2

“Jim, how could you do this to me?!” My heart twisted in pain, and I wanted to grab his collar and shout, “Grace killed me!”

But my hands just passed through him.

“The pine resin must have been poured on the victim before they died.

“The stomach cavity has also been injected with a strong acid. All the organs have melted and rotted away. Otherwise, the decay within the victim’s body wouldn’t have been preserved to this extent… Hmm?”

Jim was calmly analyzing my body, but once he opened up my stomach cavity, he scowled.

Zephyr noticed it and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The victim was pregnant.” Jim sighed and turned my body over to Zephyr. “The murderer injected the resin into the victim’s womb through her genitals. The fetus is preserved to perfection.”

“What the hell?! What crazy b*stard did this?!” After recovering from his shock, Zephyr cursed so loudly that his voice echoed in the dissection room.

Meanwhile, I stared at my stomach in surprise.

I could see the tiny life form had just begun to take shape. His cheek and umbilical cord were pressed together, and his eyes were shut. He seemed to be at peace. It looked like he was sleeping.

But he was murdered!

I felt such a strong urge to cry that I nearly lost control of myself, but ghosts could not cry.

I could only scream and tear at the air. “My baby!”

He could have been born safely.

I had even prepared cute clothes and shoes for him. I meticulously researched baby formulas and had a dozen names ready for him.

But Grace had destroyed it all!

Jim was silent for a long time before he said, “The victim’s bones and organs are ruined, and since they decayed in a sealed environment, I won’t be able to extract the DNA.

“The only way to identify her is to cut up the baby.”

My mind went blank.

What did he mean by that?

Was he going to cup up our baby?

“Don’t you dare, Jim!

“I won’t let you hurt him, you hear me?!”

The grief made me tremble. I screamed repeatedly, but it did nothing.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Jim used a hammer and chisel to extract the fetus from my womb.

He was not even the size of a palm.

“Jim, I hope that you can get the results soon.” Zephyr sighed. He could not bear to look. “Let’s give the victim and the poor baby the justice they deserve.”

Jim said nothing.

He stared at the baby quietly for a moment before he suddenly looked up and asked, “Do we have any news about Luna?”

“Her?”

The topic changed too quickly, and it caught Zephyr off guard, but his expression soon turned into one of frustration. “I don’t want to talk about her. We can’t even find a single strand of her hair. When I think about what she did, she makes me angry.

“She was a top-secret researcher and had the best benefits in the country, but she stole the research results and fled to another country!”

He kicked the wall in anger. “She’s no different from a spy!”

“No! I didn’t do it! Grace framed me!” I screamed in the hopes that he could hear me.

Jim said calmly, “That’s why I kept suggesting labeling her a globally wanted criminal and also removing her name from all her research articles.

“After all, no one knows her pride better than I do.

“If we provoke her like that, she might feel so worked up that she might show herself.”

In an instant, I felt chilled to the bone.

‘Jim, is that really how you intend to use your knowledge of me?’
