The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 

The search for the fugitives stretched into the late afternoon until an anonymous tip that night led the police to something peculiar on one of the roads out of the city. 

Following the lead, Alistair and his team arrived at the scene, which resembled a horror movie set: a tree, a charred corpse and a burned car, a mutilated woman Inside two suitcases, and two distorted, wrecked bodies. 

“Chief…” a police officer said, his voice trembling as he took in the scene. 

Some officers felt an intense urge to vomit upon seeing the bodies, they were so mangled it was hard to believe they had once been human 

“I see it,” Alistair sighed. “Secure the area, check for nearby cameras, and…” 

“Chief!” One of the officers ran up to him. “The mutilated body belongs to Cassandra Turner.” 

“What? That’s impossible. She’s in prison,” another officer said. 

“Chief!” 

“Now what?” Alistair asked, looking at the new officer who had approached. 

“We’ve just been notified that Cassandra Turner disappeared from prison. It seems someone helped her 

escape.” 

“In that case, tell them we’ve found her,” Alistair said. 

“But how did this happen…?” 

“No idea, but…” 

“Sir,” a forensic team member approached them. “We’ve confirmed that the burned body belongs to Ernest Turner.” 

“What?” the officers exclaimed in shock. 

“But, that’s impossible. Ernest Turner was supposed to be heading to the neighboring city for what he did. 

“Well, it seems he escaped,” Alistair said. “And something tells me the deformed bodies belong to Vanessa and Frederick Turner.” 

The officers were horrified as they looked at the bodies again. 

“But…” 

“Have your team confirm it,” Alistair instructed the forensic expert. 

“Yes,” the expert said, moving closer to take their fingerprints for quick verification. 

“This doesn’t make any sense.” 

“Yes, this scene is…” 

“Chief, it’s them,” the forensic expert declared. “Fortunately, their fingerprints were intact. That was the

only thing not broken on their bodies.” 

“They met the most horrible death,” Alistair said. 

“That’s what we can see, but the pieces of Cassandra show bruise marks, and Ernest’s body smells faintly of gasoline,” the forensic expert added. 

“So the plan was to kill all four of them.” 

“But whose plan was it?” 

“Chief, we need to investigate who the monster behind this is.” 

“Yes, I’m going to…” 

“You’re not going to do anything.” Alistair said, frowning 

“What?” 

“Why?” 

“We need to investigate! Whoever did this might be a danger to society, and…” 

“Whoever did this is a danger to no one, because what happened here was karma,” Alistair said with sigh. 

“What?” 

“Who among you read the Turner couple’s files?” 

“Everyone did, but…” 

“Then you know that no matter how much we dig through the grass and dirt at this location, we won’t find a clue pointing to who or what did this,” Alistair said. 

“What do you mean, detective?” 

“Chief, we found a clue,” an excited officer said, showing a note. “It was found on Cassandra’s body.” 

Alistair took the note and read it, then sighed deeply. “This is what I’m talking about,” he said, handing the paper to his colleagues. “Read it and tell me what you see. 

The officers read it and were even more confused as the content had nothing to do with the current situation. They noticed the paper was yellowed, indicating it was old. 

“This…” 

“This pair of psychopaths began their criminal career as teenagers, but their group always cleaned up their messes… The only problem is that they made many, many enemies. People who were dissatisfied with the corrupt police system,” Alistair explained. 

“So you’re saying their victims were behind this?” 

“Then we have a clue and..” one of the officers began excitedly. 

“Even if we know the truth, there’s nothing concrete linking anyone to this place. We’re still investigating their crimes, and we have about fifty victims so far, with even more popping up.
