Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 154

The night was colorful under the colorful neon lights, and the scenery quickly passes through the car window, leaving no trace.

Soon, Matthew’s car was parked in front of the detention house.

Boyce knew he was coming over, so he arranged for someone to wait for Matthew at the gate. As soon as Matthew got off, someone came over to him. “Boyce is in the mortuary.”

Matthew nodded, hinting at the man to show him the way.

The mortuary was always located in a remote place. After turning a few corners and going through several corridors, they finally arrived in front of a door. When the door was pushed open, the gloomy and cold smell was oncoming. To prevent the body from decay and smell, the morgue was equipped with a 24-hour refrigeration machine.

As soon as they entered the mortuary, they could feel the sudden temperature drop.

Matthew was expressionless. His emotion didn’t change at all because of this place.

When he came in, the forensic doctor had just covered Beulah’s dead body with a white cloth. There is a scalpel on the table next to him - obviously, he had just finished the autopsy.

Boyce came over with the autopsy report. “It’s certain that she committed a suicide, which was planned ahead.”

Looking at the report, he explained in detail, “She had taken a kind of medicine. After the incident happened in LEO Corporation, when she was locked in the detention house, she took another kind of medicine. The two medicines had inter-restriction, which causes death. Obviously, she knew it very well, so she took both medicines one after another.”

“Is that all?” Matthew was not satisfied with this answer obviously. It was not enough for him.

“Beulah Shawn had met someone before going out of the jail.”

Matthew had the answer in his heart. “Who was it?” he still asked.

“Maria Herbert. According to the surveillance video I found, it showed that Maria Herbert has met her two days ago. She also bribed someone and set Beulah free.” When he was speaking, Boyce was looking at Matthew carefully. After all, he knew Matthew’s relationship with Maria before. “I have the surveillance video copy. Do you want to take a look? Although she was wearing a mask, we analyzed technically. It was her exactly.”

Sure enough, everything had approved his guess.

In the past, he thought the reason why Maria was against Dolores was that Dolores had married him.

It wasn’t until now did he realized that Maria hated Dolores because of more reasons rather than only their marriage.

The incident that happened six years ago was the most important one.

His face pulled extremely long in the gloomy and cold air, looking quite horrible.

“Do you have any clue about her?” Now he could almost be sure that Maria had something to do with Dolores’ disappearance.

“I’ve asked my men to keep an eye on her as soon as the result was found. So far we haven’t found her,” said Boyce.

“Please look for her as soon as possible.” His hands clenched tightly. “I’ve underestimated her viciousness.”

Boyce looked at his gloomy face, inhaling. “I’ll add more men.”

He immediately called his subordinates, hurrying up to look for Maria’s whereabouts.

“Don’t panic. The Herbert family is rooted in this city. Even if Maria Herbert escaped, her family is still here,” said Boyce.

Matthew’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Dolores is missing.”

“What?” Boyce was confused. “Wasn’t she totally fine during the daytime?”

“I lost contact with her at night.” His voice was quite distant as if his words were floating in the air, vanishing in the wind.

Boyce was a detail-oriented man. After all, he was a detective. Immediately, he found the key point. “Something to do with Maria Herbert?”

Wasn’t it pretty obvious?

Matthew took a glance at Beulah’s body that was under the white cloth. “Why do you think she would die?”

Boyce thought for a while. “Was it a ploy to buy time?”

The person used Beulah’s death to distract them and buy time. After they had figured out the situation, Dolores was already taken away by them.

And their ultimate target was Dolores.

Beulah was just a dead piece in the game.
