Chapter 252 The Missing Body

The Understated Dragon Lord

"Heh!" Shitstrong could only respond to Daniel's words with a cold sneer. "Scum, is there any

scientific basis for what you’re saying? How could a body move by itself? How could it possibly walk

over ten miles here, then hang itself from the beam? Your story is laughable! Even kindergarten

children wouldn't believe your theory!"

Daniel looked at Ava with a mischievous grin, asking, "Sarge, do you believe it?"

"I...," Ava hesitated, caught off guard, and could only growl back, "I’m not a kid!"

"So, Sarge, you don't believe me? You don’t believe Jennflower's body could have left the police

department on its own? You don’t believe it could have come here? That her body hanged itself

here?"

"Hang my ass!" Ava rolled her eyes and countered, "Even if there are ghosts in this world, and

maybe there are things science can't explain, what you’re saying is too illogical. How do you expect

me to believe you?"

"It's simple, Sarge. You solve cases with evidence, so we should speak with evidence."

"Evidence? Do you have evidence?"

"The room where Jennflower's body was kept should have surveillance cameras, right, Sarge? You

could get the footage with just one phone call."

"Of course, I can!"

Ava made a call to Scout River, who was in charge of the body storage. The phone connected.

"Sarge, what do you need?"

"Scout, go see if Jennflower's body is still there?"

"I just checked half an hour ago; there should be no issues. Sarge, you can rest assured, nothing

will happen to the bodies in my care."

"I want you to check again now. See if Jennflower's body is still there?"

"Yes, yes, I'm on it!"

After a while, a panicked voice came through the phone. "Where's Jennflower? Where did her body

go? Wasn’t her body supposed to be in the morgue? Why is it missing?"

With his acute hearing, which was better than a dog's, Daniel could hear the conversation and he

offered an insight to Ava, "Since Jennflower's body has gone missing, Handshome's body must be

missing too. Both their bodies are in this building. If things went as expected, those two bodies

moved here together."

After hearing Daniel's comment, Ava quickly asked over the phone, "What about Handshome's

body? Is it still there?"

"Sarge, hold on, I'll check."

After a short wait, Scout reported back. "Sorry, Sarge, Handshome's body has disappeared too.

Who could have snuck into the morgue and stolen their bodies? They were suicides, weren’t they?

Who would steal their bodies? Unless they weren't suicides but were murdered? Could the thief of

their bodies be their murderer?"

On the phone, Scout shared his deductions.

"Tell him to check the surveillance videos," Daniel suggested to Ava.

Ava rolled her eyes at Daniel and then directed Scout over the phone, "Scout, check the

surveillance footage to see if you can find any clues. I need to know who stole the bodies."

Given a choice between Scout's theory and Daniel's, Ava wouldn't hesitate to believe Scout.
