Chapter 2060 Worse Than Death


    Lucian didn’t let Roxanne watch the exhumation process and instead pulled her to the entrance of the


    cemetery to wait.


    "Don''t worry, Darling.These officers are very professional.They just need to take some bones for


    testing.Once the testing is done, the bones will be returned intact.Nothing will be lost!"


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Lucian reassured her.


    Roxanne wasn''t superstitious, but she made a suggestion.


    "Honey, after the testing is done, can we move the grave? Although I don''t think my father is qualified


    to be buried next to my mother, my mother truly loved him in her lifetime.That''s why she was so


    selfless.If only she could have decided enough was enough, maybe things would have been different!"


    Lucian nodded in agreement as it was no problem to do so.


    This cemetery was small in scale and far away, which made it inconvenient for visits anyway.


    After working for almost three hours, Bill and the group of officers came out.


    The officers nodded at Roxanne and Lucian before saying, "We can confirm that the remains of


    Ms.Jarvis'' mother show signs of poisoning before death, and it was quite severe.Of course, we need to


    take the samples back for further testing to see what kind of poison was used.It won''t take long,


    though.You''ll only need to wait around one or two days for the results!"


    When Bill heard this, he frowned and said, "You punks should work overtime and get the results within


    a day!"


    The other officers hurriedly nodded in response.


    Bill asked the young officers to leave first and then went back to the car with Lucian and Roxanne.The


    first sentence out of his mouth was his conclusion.


    "If I''m not mistaken, it''s mercury poisoning!"


    Mercury, also known as quicksilver, was the only metal that existed in liquid form under normal


    temperature and pressure.


    It could evaporate at room temperature, and the vapor andpounds of mercury were highly toxic.


    Thermometers contained this substance, and if identally broken, one had to be extremely careful


    due to the toxicity of the mercury vapor.


    Roxanne was stunned when she heard the answer.


    As a doctor, she had treated patients with mercury poisoning before.


    Most of these individuals had been identally exposed to small amounts of mercury and had suffered


    longsting agony afterward.


    Mercury had a powerful impact on various parts of the human body, including the nervous, digestive,


    respiratory, skin, and urinary systems.


    The toxicity would gradually increase and cause problems in all parts of the body.


    The initial symptoms involved headaches, dizziness, insomnia, and irritability, and soon the signs of


    poisoning would eventually spread throughout the entire body, leading to organ failure.


    Those who suffered from chronic mercury poisoning basically experienced every kind of pain the


    human body could possibly go through.


    As Roxanne heard the news, anger surged within her, causing her to tremble uncontrobly.


    She clenched her teeth, and her eyes burned with fury "Winnie, you have no heart My mother had to


    endure unbearable pain every day before ste died, ye: she was still worrying about me.She must have


    been in so much agony!"


    The pain was worse than death itself! Winnie Chardon, how I wish! could kill you! Tears streamed down


    her face like a flood.


    As Roxanne''s tears flowed, Lucian held her tightly and whispered reassuring words into her ear.


    Bill''s face grew somber, Dut his eyes shed with determination as he promised, "Don''t worry.I''ll halp


    you catch the culprit responsible for your mother''s death!"


    Once they arrived home, Roxanne''s emotions were still too overwhelming for her to stay still.


    She felt a burning desire to confront Winnie and make her suffer the same torment caused by mercury


    poisoning.


    Soon, Cayden provided feedback that Winnie had taken the bait and agreed to meet with the people


    Lucian had arranged to discuss the vi''s sale price that night.


    However, to ensure Winnie couldn''t escape, Lucian instructed Cayden to get as many people as


    possible to block all the paths out of the city.


    As night fell, the police confirmed that Roxanne’s mother had indeed suffered ‘rom mercury poisoning


    that had umted over time.


    They were currently preparing an arrest warrant.


    Once the process was approved, they could proceed to arrest and interrogate the suspect.
