Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 295

The man was the husband of the ashes' owner. He and his wife came from the same orphanage and had been supporting each other till now. They even started a business together despite their young age.

Unfortunately, the wife was stricken with cancer and passed away a week ago.

According to the police's information on the man and his wife's relationship, it was true that he fit the bill as a culprit who might resort to dark spells just to harm others.

But when the police located the man in his luxurious apartment, he refused to admit anything.

Calvin looked at the man before him. The man wasn't even in his 30s, yet he looked like he was in his mid-40s. He seemed very weak too.

For some reason, this reminded Calvin of the "consumption" Shannon had mentioned in the livestream.

After that, Calvin had his men check the list of things the man had done right after his wife passed away. But the man clearly knew that the vessel transfer spell had failed, for he was quick to sever the connection and erase all the evidence.

Since no one got hurt in the incident and no evidence could be found, Calvin couldn't pin the crime on the man.

Just as he thought he had to let the man go, the employees from the unit dropped by the apartment.

When they heard Calvin's side of the story, they just said, "Leave the man to us."

One of them said with a smile, "Although he refuses to admit it, we can still tell if someone got consumed by the spell they cast. Even if he destroys all the evidence, his body can't lie."

That was the moment when Calvin realized why Shannon had contacted the unit and had them interfere with this case. The police were experts in tracking down culprits and investigating the clues, but they were rendered helpless if supernatural elements were in the play.

This wasn't something that the law could resolve.

Sometime later, Calvin found out that the man had been looking for ways for his wife to live longer when he found out that his wife would be dying soon. In the end, he heard about the lifespan transfer spell from a mystic arts expert.

The man performed the spell twice in a row. Not only did he fail to add a lot more years to his wife's lifespan, but it also increased the pain and suffering she had to endure. Even if her lifespan were to be extended, it wouldn't be able to neutralize the pain she felt from her cancer.
