Chapter 686 Patricia Sentenced to Death
The new potion arrived right on time.
After receiving the potion, Sebastian and Maximilian couldn't wait to find the forensic medicine to have it verified.
Carol, Maximilian, and Sebastian stood nervously next to the autopsy table, watching the forensic medicine open the potion bottle and pour it onto the body.
Sebastian hurriedly said, "Turn off the lights..."
The forensic medicine's assistant immediately turned off the lights.
At the moment the lights went out, Billy's hands, already soaked white by the water, gradually revealed a silvery-white color.
In the creases of his nails, the back of his hand, and his palm, irregular patterns of discoloration appeared.
Sebastian's pupils dilated slightly. "It's blood, really blood... He must have scratched the murderer before he died. His nails should have broken off at that time. And there are bloodstains on his back and palms."
Maximilian also said, "According to the testimony of the taxi driver, Billy was pushed from behind by Patricia! Now that it's confirmed that Billy struggled before his death, it proves that the murderer is not Patricia, but someone else."
The forensic medicine kept exclaiming in amazement, "Country Y is indeed far ahead of Country D in this area!"
Sebastian looked at the forensic medicine seriously and asked, "Have the results of the water analysis in his stomach come out?"
"The results just came out. I was about to tell you!" The forensic medicine took off his gloves, reached out his hand; and the assistant placed the materials in his hand.
He said, "It has been confirmed that the water in his stomach is not the water from Neon Bridge! There is disinfectant in the water, it should be pool water."
Carol asked in confusion, "So, Billy drowned in the swimming pool?"
The forensic medicine explained, "Before a person drowns, the last water they drink remains undigested in the stomach! According to it, your guess is correct! The deceased was drowned in the swimming pool by someone. In a struggle for survival, the deceased scratched the murderer's arm. His nails also broke off because of this; and a large amount of swimming pool water rushed into his mouth and nose."
At the moment the truth was revealed, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Maximilian said, "All the evidence shows that Billy died in the swimming pool! So, Patricia is innocent."
Sebastian remarked, "Billy must have been killed by someone and then thrown into the river! The search team searched for over twenty days. According to the speed of the water flow, in twenty days, who knows where the body would have been washed away to! Yet they were able to retrieve it! This proves that his body was not in the river before. It should have been thrown in by someone later."
Thinking of Billy being pressed into the water and drowned by someone and then thinking of his pain before death, Carol's tears fell again. "Who? Who is it? Why did he kill Billy? Why? Billy has a good personality; he never had any grudges against anyone! Why did that person kill him... "
Maximilian hugged her, gently patting her back to comfort her.
"The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine. One day, the murderer will be caught..."
Carol nodded, sobbing. "I will go to tell my parents the truth later and ask them to release Patricia..."
Before they could even celebrate this decision, the door of the morgue was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside.
Everyone present was startled.
The next moment, Joe and Susan rushed in from outside, and when they saw the body laid out on the autopsy table, they were dumbfounded.
The body that had been retrieved intact was now cut open and gutted.
Even the last bit of dignity after death was gone.
Looking at Billy in this state, Susan collapsed on the autopsy table, holding Billy's cold hand and crying loudly.
"Billy... Billy... my Billy... why did you leave like this? You promised to take care of me and your father... Billy... wake up... Open your eyes and look at mom..."
Unfortunately, no matter how Susan cried or shouted, Billy lying on the autopsy table showed no response.
Joe looked at Carol, who was being held by Maximilian, and pulled her out, saying, "You all get out... get out..."
Carol wanted to explain to them, "Dad, Patricia is really innocent! The forensic medicine has already confirmed that the water in Billy's stomach is pool water, with components of disinfectant! Also, Billy's nails were broken, with blood on them! It proves that Billy was drowned in the swimming pool by someone! His nails broke off because he was trying to defend himself against the murderer."
After hearing her words, Joe found it all incredibly ridiculous, his anger bubbling up. "Drowned in the swimming pool by someone? Have you forgotten that Billy is skilled at boxing? Even the top experts in Country D may not be his match. Are you telling me that he was drowned in the swimming pool by someone?"
They held positions of power.
There were always enemies in the politics.
For the safety of Billy and Carol, he had teachers teach them boxing from a young age, so they could protect themselves in times of danger.
He knew Billy's capabilities better than anyone..
Even a group of ordinary kidnappers couldn't get close to him.
Who else could press him into the river and drown him?
Or drown him in the swimming pool.
Sebastian quickly found a flaw in his argument. "According to what you're saying, Billy should have been very skilled! How could Patricia have possibly pushed him into the river? Someone with good skills wouldn't be unaware of someone following them or approaching them. There are so many loopholes in this. Don't you want to get to the bottom of it?"
Joe's eyes were bloodshot like a wild beast gone mad.
"They knew each other. Billy naturally had no defenses! You don't need to say more. It's an undeniable fact that Patricia killed Billy! Just wait... I will make sure she keeps my son company in the afterlife."
With that, Joe took Carol and left.
The bodyguard who had been waiting outside also came in, supporting Susan as she left, while another bodyguard covered the body with a white cloth.
Sebastian and Maximilian followed Joe, unwilling to give up.
Maximilian said, "Joe, I grew up with Billy; and now that he's gone, I'm also very sad! It's precisely because of this sadness that I want to find the real murderer to avenge him! Do you really want to see the real murderer go unpunished?"
Sebastian added, "He died in the swimming pool. As long as we take samples of all the nearby pool water for analysis, we can find the first crime scene! You have reached a high position today, a rare honest official. Do you want to tarnish your political career with a stain?"
Unfortunately, no matter what they said, Joe didn't listen to a word.
As they reached the corner of the corridor, the butler stopped Sebastian and Maximilian; and they watched helplessly as Joe's figure disappeared from view.
Sebastian chuckled, "He's too stubborn. I've never seen someone so stubborn..."
Maximilian's face turned extremely grim.
He hadn't expected that, with all the evidence right in front of him, Joe still didn't believe it.
Three days later, Patricia was to face sentencing.
For the charge of premeditated murder, she had been sentenced to death—
