The nurse was stunned. âSpecial department?â
The young nurse didnât know them, so she hesitantly asked, âWhatâs that?â
Elaine said, âItâs a department above the regular police service. If they take over the case, we all have to listen to them? Forget it. You wonât understand even if I tell you. Anyway, after this case is successfully closed, I will have enough accumulated experience to apply for a position in the special department.â If she could get into the special department, it would be an honor for her!
Besides, Captain Ford of the special department⦠he had an honorable status and was admired by everyone. At the thought of this, Elaineâs face flushed a little and she became excited.
She signed her diagnosis and autopsy report and handed them to the nurse. Then, she looked at the nurse and said, âThe cause of death has been determined, we are going to cremate the body now.â
The nurse was astonished. âSo fast?â
âYes, itâs summer now. Corpses rot if left outside for too long. Even if there is a freezer, there is no need to preserve his body.â
The nurse replied politely, âThen Iâll contact the victimâs family.â
âOkay.â
After saying that, Elaine looked at her, âContact her now.â
The nurse didnât expect her to be so anxious. She asked, âAh? Ah, okay.â

When Tanya was taken away, she said only one sentence to Nora. âTake good care of Mia.â
After she was taken away, Nora went up first.
Today was the weekend, so the kids werenât going to the garden. They were playing inside and seemed to have heard the noise from downstairs. So when Nora came in, she saw Mia anxiously with her shoes on. She asked quietly, âWhy has my mommy been arrested?â
Pete said, âDonât worry. They must have caught the wrong person.â
Cherry held up her phone. As they were in the middle of an intense team battle, she looked at Mia and then down.
She hesitated for .01 seconds before throwing the phone down and putting on her shoes. âLetâs go downstairs and ask Mom!â.
Nora pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing the three children, she said, âMia, somethingâs wrong with your mom and she has to go to the police station. Donât worry.â
Mia asked hesitantly, âIs she really okay?â.
Nora knelt down and ruffled her hair. âSheâs really fine. Your mommy is a good person, and cops specialize in catching bad people. Why would they catch your mommy?â
Mia cocked her head to the side and thought carefully. âYes, Aunt Nora is right. So when will Mommy be back?â
âSheâll be back tonight.â
Nora patiently coaxed her. Her voice was very soft. Although it was deep, it was very soft. After she said that, she looked at Cherry and saw the little girlâs big eyes wander. She pouted and then said quietly to Nora, âMommy, youâre lying.â
Nora: ââ¦â
She knew this brat was smart and could tell that things were not that simple.
However, Cherry cooperated and convinced Mia. The brat looked up and said confidently, âMia, donât be afraid. Even if something happens to your mommy, My mommy wonât just sit around and do nothing! Besides, your daddy is very powerful too! If you canât do it, look for my daddy!â.
Mia tilted her head. âWhat if your daddy canât do it either?â
âThen get my aunt and grandma!â Cherry patted her chest. âDonât worry. My aunt and grandma are the best.â
Mia was actually convinced by her confidence. She nodded her head. âOkay.â
Nora said, âHave a good time here. Iâll have the babysitter take care of you all. You have to stay home obediently today, okay?â
Mia: âOkay!â
Cherry said, âDonât worry, Mom! Iâll take good care of Mia and Pete!â.
Pete: ââ¦â
When Nora saw that Mia had calmed down, she went outside and picked up the phone to call Joel. However, the moment she stepped outside, she felt a little tug on her pants.
She lowered her head and met Peteâs stern but serious face.
He stood there thinking for a moment and said, âMommy, I just saw that they took the godmother away in handcuffs.â
Nora: â?â
Was her son that observant?
It was too hard to lie to him.
She lowered her head and was about to say something when she heard Peteâs clear analysis. âYou should contact Uncle and Dad immediately in addition to getting a lawyer to bail my godmother out. If they came for an arrest, they must have a warrant. That means they have solid evidence, but my godmother definitely did nothing wrong. You should check the evidence. If Iâm not mistaken, the evidence must have been tampered with.â
ââ¦â Listening to his logical analysis, Nora felt for the first time that her son was actually very intelligent.
Although he didnât like to talk much and spent all his time asking Math Olympiad questions, he was truly worthy of being a Hunt child. Even when faced with difficult situations, he could keep his composure and think clearly.
He touched Peteâs head. âOkay, Iâll do all that. But Miaâs in a bad mood, will you take care of her?â
Pete looked at Nora helplessly. âMommy, Iâm not a three-year-old anymore.â These words to convince a child were useless on him.
However, Nora said earnestly, âPete, Mommy is not trying to manipulate you. Iâm telling the truth. Cherry has a rough personality and a big heart. Iâm worried about letting her deal with people. But if itâs Pete, Mom will be relieved!â
These words made Peteâs face turn red. He nodded and even spoke for his sister. âMy sister is also very good.â
Nora: ââ¦â
This son of hers was really adorable!
Nora left the house and called Joel.
Joel was already aware of the situation when the police came in to arrest her. He said, âIâm going to get my lawyer. Heâll probably arrive with them.â
Nora nodded. âSure.â
Nora and Joel were not allowed to see Tanya before the case was processed. Only the lawyers were allowed to discuss these matters.
After more than half an hour, the lawyer came out with a frown. âThe matter has been cleared up! Indeed, they have evidence to support Miss Turnerâs arrest! Hillaryâs death was caused by toxins in her body. During the time she was detained, only Miss Tanya had seen her! She injected something into Hillaryâs intravenous tube. All of this had been recorded by the surveillance cameras. We are at a huge disadvantage right now!â
