My mother was the most renowned forensic artist, yet she refused to acknowledge me as her daughter. On my eighteenth birthday, I was kidnapped and called her for help. However, my mother replied impatiently, "Today is Angelina's birthday. Just die if you want attention that badly." Later, all the bones in my body were shattered and scattered everywhere. When my mother reconstructed my face from the bones, she lost her mind.
View MoreAngelina screamed in agony. Only now did she realize that my mother wouldn't show her any mercy.The oil in the large pot continued to boil, filling the room with thick, pungent smoke. Angelina, drenched in sweat from the pain, looked utterly disheveled. However, her eyes burned with resentment."Why? You should ask this yourself, Mom."My mother froze on the spot upon hearing the venom in her tone and asked, "Me?"Angelina laughed and sneered. "Yes. You're the weakest one of all. Ariana got kidnapped because of you guys, yet you felt no guilt and even resent her for not being obedient enough. I barely had to say anything before you guys believed me completely."Do you know what I told that detective before he died?" Angelina lifted her head and laughed. "I told him that I'd make his whole family pay for killing my comrades, and the first one I'd kill would be his daughter. "Do you know what he said? He said Ariana had the best mother in the world, and you'd protect her no matte
Angelina sighed in relief when she heard the man's words."Good. Now that she's dead, I don't have to worry about anyone snatching the Akinson Family inheritance. After some time, I'll get rid of that woman too. Then, we can take all the money and live comfortably for the rest of our lives."The man seemed to be drinking as he exclaimed, "That's ruthless of you. That detective saved you because he mistook you for some helpless kid, yet you betrayed them so easily. It's funny how they'd believe a stranger over their own daughter. "Thanks for covering me all these years, though. Otherwise, that brat would've found me ages ago. Sometimes, I pity that forensic artist… She's been cherishing the very person who destroyed her family.""Shut up." Angelina seemed upset. "If it weren't for me buying time, you'd have faced much more trouble. That detective knew something was wrong with me, so I had to kill him. It is a shame that Ariana survived that fall and only ended up with a broken leg.
My mother kept dialing my number, but the same automated message kept repeating itself."The number you have dialed is currently turned off. Please try again later…"Mark tried to pull her back, but my mother stood up abruptly and said, "Angelina! Ariana called her a few days ago. She must know where Ariana is!"My mother ignored Mark's protests, stormed out of the police station, and drove straight home. I followed closely, watching her frantically call out for Angelina the moment she got inside.Mark, who'd rushed in after her, tried to calm her down. "Calm down, Jolin. I've already asked Ariana's phone location to be tracked. Call Angelina and ask her about the details. It might help us find the killer."My mother nodded.Just then, Angelina opened the door and stepped inside.My mother didn't hesitate to rush to her and grab her by the shoulders. "Angelina, tell me what Ariana said when she called you. Tell me everything!"Angelina was startled by my mother and stammered, "
Amid the heated argument, there was a sudden knock on the office door."We found the final piece of the victim's skull. It's in the Ames Forest on Amaron Mountain."There was a pregnant pause in the office once those words fell.After all, the Ames Forest was where Dad had died.Nevertheless, my mother was quick to regain her composure. She tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and said, "Just you guys wait. I'll reconstruct the victim's face perfectly and prove that Ariana is nothing but a liar! "After this, no one is allowed to mention her name in front of me ever again."The skull fragment was brought into the workspace, and my mother was preparing her tools before shooing everyone else out of the room before starting her work. This was her usual practice. No one was allowed to disturb her when she was working.The entire workspace was eerily quiet.Mom was the best forensic artist. Even though she was furious with me just moments ago, she was able to focus intently on
My eyes widened when I saw that familiar package.It was the evidence I had gathered!…I had always been suspicious about Angelina's identity. Although she claimed to be a victim of the White Bone Case, I couldn't figure out why they would target a teenage girl like her.My doubts about her began early, and I had been silently investigating her.When I had finally gathered everything and wanted to tell my mother, she was away on a business trip. Thus, I prepared to mail the evidence to her. However, I was kidnapped en route, and the evidence disappeared with me. I didn't expect it to be found."This was found near Ariana's apartment by the property management," explained Derek as he opened the package. "They saw bloodstains on it and turned it in since it was addressed to the station."As the box opened, several photos spilled out.When my mother picked up one of the photos, she was stunned.The photo showed my father fighting with the real killer, who was also the one who mu
After the tense conversation with Mark, my mother had a dark expression. However, when she opened the door and saw Angelina, she immediately smiled."Angelina, I brought you your favorite mango cake," she said.Angelina put down her pen and took my mother's hand. "Mom, you're so good to me."My mother feigned a stern look as she playfully tapped her nose. "You're my daughter. It's only normal I'll treat you nice."Angelina looked hesitant upon hearing her answer. Then, she asked cautiously, "What about Ariana?"My mother's sour mood returned at the mention of my name. She set her bag down and said in annoyance, "Did she bother you again? I told you many times that I will not acknowledge a killer as my daughter. If she does call you next time, just block her."When Angelina heard my mother's words, a glint of satisfaction flashed across her eyes. Then, she leaned closer to my mother and said, "Calm down, Mom. If you don't like it, I won't answer her calls ever again."Just then,
Ever since I was young, I knew that my parents' work was unique. My father was a detective who had solved many major cases, while my mother was a forensic artist who was capable of finding clues from the victim's bones.Together, they solved numerous cases. Their most famous one was the White Bone Case five years ago. It was a case about a criminal gang who abducted and killed homeless people before using their bones to smuggle drugs. Since these were real human bones, they could easily avoid being caught by claiming these bones as medical materials.Under my father's leadership, the gang's hideouts were uncovered one by one. The criminals kidnapped me for the sake of revenge. At that moment, my father snuck into their base and rescued me, as well as another girl who was also held captive.During our escape, the girl accidentally exposed our location, leading the gang to catch up with us. Sure enough, my father was brutally murdered and dismembered, while I was thrown off a cliff,
A month after my remains were discarded, an old woman found my bones. When the police rushed to the scene, they were shocked by what they saw.The forensic expert, Dr. John had a grim expression as he examined the scene. Then, he said solemnly, "The victim appears to be a female between the ages of 15 and 20. She seemed to have died about a month ago. "The bones here are from the skull and legs, so this might be one of the several crime scenes. The bones have been subjected to intense trauma, and the whitened bones were not naturally decomposed. Rather, the killer likely used a small knife to strip the flesh. "There is a high possibility that the killer beat the victim to death, boiled the body, stripped the bones, shattered them, and discarded them."Everyone was horrified upon hearing his words. They couldn't imagine anyone would use such an inhumane method to kill someone. It seemed as if the killer was a vicious person.Dr. John sighed and continued, "The body is destroyed b
