Female Novel
Chapter 2060
Byron took Rosalie to the entrance of the cemetery, so that she did not have to see the process of themdigging up her mother’s grave.
“Honey, don’t worry. These officers are very professional. They just need some bones for theinvestigation. When they’re done investigating, they’ll place them back like how they were before. Theywon’t go missing!” Byron comforted her.
Rosalie was not superstitious, but she had something in her mind.
“Hubby, can we move my mother’s grave after the investigation? Although I don’t think my daddeserves to be buried with my mom, my mom loved my dad all her life. That’s why she had no regrets.In fact, if she had been willing to give up on him, her life might have turned out differently!”
Byron nodded. Moving the grave was fine. This cemetery was small, and it was far from the manor. Itmight be inconvenient for Rosalie to visit her.
After nearly three hours, Detective Carter walked over with a group of police officers.
They nodded at Byron and Rosalie. One of the officers said, ” We’re certain that Mrs. Lawrence’smother was poisoned before she died. Of course, we need to carry out tests to find out the componentof the poison. It won’t take long. Maybe a day or two!”
Detective Carter’s forehead puckered. “Boys, work overtime and do the test within a day!”
The police officers nodded since Detective Carter had ordered them.
Detective Carter watched the police officers leave. Then, he followed Byron and Rosalie back to thecar.
He concluded once they were in the car. “If I’m right, it’s quicksilver poisoning!”
Quicksilver, commonly known as mercury, was the only liquid metal at normal temperature andpressure. Mercury could evaporate at room temperature. Mercury vapor and mercury compounds couldbe highly toxic.
Mercury could be found in thermometers. If one broke it accidentally, one had to be very careful of thetoxins that come with the volatilization of mercury.
Rosalie froze upon hearing that.
She was a doctor. Moreover, she had dealt with this kind of mercury poisoning. Most of it started with asmall amount of contamination, then the chronic suffering began.
It had a dangerous effect on all parts of the human body. The nervous, digestive, respiratory, andurinary system, as well as the skin, might gradually collapse as the toxin spread.
It would start from headaches, dizziness, insomnia, and
irritability. At last, it would lead to organ failure. It would torture every part of the body.novelbin
A person with chronic mercury poisoning would experience all the pain the human body couldexperience.
Monstrous anger shot through Rosalie, and she shuddered, trying to suppress it.
She clenched her teeth as anger burned in her. “Violet, how dare you do something so vicious to mymother?! My mother bore the pain plaguing her body and was instead worried about me. She must’vebeen in so much pain!”
The pain was worse than death!
Rosalie wanted to kill Violet for torturing her mother.
Her tears rolled down her cheeks.
Byron hugged his wife and tried to appease her.
The detective remained silent and said firmly. “Please rest assured. I’ll help you find the evidence toarrest the murderer. I promise!”
When they returned to the manor, Rosalie could no longer remain calm. She wanted to dash out andpoison Violet so that she would experience the same pain her mother suffered.
Luther returned with news about Violet. One of Luke’s men had attracted Violet’s attention with the highpurchase price. They had arranged a date to negotiate the price.
To ensure everything would go well, Byron ordered Luther to arrange for more men to stand guard at allthe exits of Coast City, ensuring Violet could not flee.
In the evening, the police called and confirmed it was mercury poisoning and chronic accumulation.The poisoning period was approximately three months.
The police were preparing an arrest warrant to arrest and interrogate the suspect.
