Chapter 188 Nightmares

Forty minutes later, Lewis arrived at the landfill.

Conrad held an umbrella beside him, looking at him with an incomprehensible expression.

Then, he turned toward the figure hanging from a tree branch before him.

It was a nightmarish sight.

Mrs. Jinkins hung ominously from the branch, a noose cruelly looped around her neck, while her hospital gown billowed around her like a ghostly apparition. Her hair, wildly disheveled, amplified the eerie aura that permeated the air.

The sheer horror of this scene would have been enough to terrify anyone who bore witness to it.

Conrad stole another glimpse at Lewis’ expression. It might be the night, but he couldn’t distinguish any expression on Lewis’ face.

Conrad quickly signaled to the bodyguards to let Mrs. Jinkins down.

A bodyguard ran forward to do so. He swept aside the corpse’s hair and revealed Mrs. Jinkins’ ashen face, staring ahead wide-eyed.

As experienced as he was, the bodyguard staggered in fright when he saw her eyes.

Conrad stepped forward to have a look. Then, he returned to Lewis and informed, “Sir, that’s her. She was dead when we found her.”

Mary was old. With her wrinkled face and bulging eyes, she looked exceptionally unnerving under the flashes of lightning,

Conrad didn’t look at her for long before he turned away and ran toward Lewis.

He got into the car and asked Lewis, who was in the backseat, “Sir, what should we do?”

Mary was of little importance to Lewis, but Conrad knew the significance she held to Josephine.

Besides, they had just decided to divorce and would soon obtain their certificate. If this news reached Josephine now, there was no telling what she would think.

Without a doubt, she would link Mary’s death to Lewis.

Lewis only said one word, “Investigate.”
