Hypnotizing Love(Love Letters) novel Chapter 520

Elias squatted next to the dead body and answered without raising his head, "She jumped off from the building. Her head reached the ground first. Her death is caused by a cracked skull. Besides..."

He raised Makenna's arm and pinched from her fingers to the shoulder. Suddenly, he looked confused.

The bones...

Elias shook off the arm and grabbed the other. He also repeatedly pinched from the fingers up to the shoulder. Then he squinted. A dark light flashed through his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Jared asked as he was confused by Elias's actions.

Elias stood up and didn't answer him. He looked at Officer Everett. "Send the body to the mortuary. I'll do an autopsy."

"I need to ask my supervisor for permission first," Officer Everett said with a frown.

Elias took off his gloves and said, "Make it ASAP. It's essential to your case."

Officer Everett looked at him and then at the dead body on the ground. He had to walk away to make a phone call.

Jared squinted at Elias. "What on earth have you found? I can tell there's something wrong with the corpse from your expression just now."

Elias pushed up his glasses. "Yes, there's something wrong with the dead body. I suspect this is not Makenna."

"What did you say?" Jared's eye pupils shrank. His expression changed. "Not Makenna?"

Elias hummed. "I'm seventy percent sure right now. As you know, I used to be a part-time legal examiner abroad, so I know human bones. When I touched the arms, the bones on the arms didn't match Makenna's. Although the height of this body was similar to hers, the bones were bigger than hers. Hence..."

Before he finished his words, Officer Everett came back. "Dr. Lansdale, my supervisor has agreed on the autopsy. Thank you for your hard work."

Elias nodded slightly. "Not at all. As long as you wire me the autopsy fee on time."

Officer Everett's lips twitched. "No worries. We will."

Then he asked the policeman to keep the scene and carry the dead body to the mortuary.

Elias looked at Jared and continued, "I have Makenna's DAN in my hospital. Hence, I'll extract the DNA from this body and compare it with hers. If the report shows the DNA doesn't match, it'll prove this isn't Makenna. She has escaped."

Jared clenched his fists, emanating a murderous aura. His face was icy-cold. "I know. Please go ahead. Leave the rest to me."

Elias put his hands in the pockets of the green operation gown and turned away.

Jared stood motionlessly, watching the policemen pick up the corpse. His thin lips pressed tightly. Heady tempest surged in his eyes.

He believed Elias. This dead body wasn't Makenna's possibly.

Earlier, on the way here, he thought many questions about Makenna's suicide, such as the time and the reason.

Hence, he was worried if anything unexpected had happened.

The fact showed that he didn't overthink.

The unexpected incident happened— Makenna didn't commit suicide. It was her substitute.

Elias said the bones didn't match hers. Also, the dead's face.

Jared looked up at the building.

He recalled that Makenna's ward was on the tenth floor. She would die at the scene after jumping off, but her face couldn't be beyond recognition at all.

The face of the dead body was completely ruined. No one could tell what it looked like initially.

At the first glimpse of this dead body, Jared felt weird and sensed something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Until Elias told him this wasn't Makenna, Jared realized that the face didn't seem right.
