Zeke announced his findings in under a minute. “He died because he ingested a toxic worm.”
“Judging from the blood in his scalp and the extreme dilation of his eyes, I can tell you that the worm has been lying
dormant in his body for over a decade.”
“A toxic worm? Another one? And it’s been dormant for over a decade! Mr. Williams, are you sure?” asked Jeffrey,
who couldn’t help but exhale in fear.
Zeke replied, “Yes. The probability is above 98%. Something must’ve triggered it. It’s like medicine has activated the
worm in your body. What is the trigger? Did anything strange happen when he died?”
Jeffrey thought about it before he shook his head. “I-I don’t think so.”
The wind blew, and the wind chime by the window rang.
Zeke immediately pointed at the wind chime and asked, “What is up with that wind chime?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeffrey instantly turned serious and said, “That should not be in the cell. Someone must’ve hung it up.”
Jeffrey quickly got the security guard over and demanded, “Did anyone suspicious show up here yesterday?”
The security guard thought about it and answered, “No. Wilson’s ex-bodyguard, Harry, dropped by yesterday to pay
him a visit, but he did nothing suspicious.”
Jeffrey pointed at the wind chime. “Did Harry bring that wind chime?”
The security guard shook his head. “No way. We don’t allow anyone to take any metallic object into the prison...
Wait, I just remembered! That looked like a part of his outfit’s accessory. We didn’t pay much attention to it at the
time.”
The truth was revealed.
Jeffrey gritted his teeth and cursed, “Damn it. I shouldn’t have released Harry. Take Harry Simpson in at once!”
The security guard realized the gravity of the situation and quickly rushed out to apprehend Harry.
Zeke got the wind chime down from the window and rang it beside Wilson’s ear.
That gave Jeffrey the goosebumps.
Ringing a wind chime by a dead man’s ear was creepy, no matter how one put it.
Something creepier happened at the next second.
Wilson Wood, who couldn’t have been more dead, started moving his eye, and blood oozed out of his tear duct.
“F**k! What the hell is going on?” blurted Jeffrey as he instinctively backed away. That scene caused Jeffrey’s
goosebumps to spread all over his body.
Is he back from the dead? Or did he simply fake his own death?
Zeke rolled his eyes at Jeffrey. “Be quiet.”
Jeffrey instantly covered his lips and didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
Zeke swung that wind chime around more violently. The movement in Wilson’s eyes became more rapid.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA black worm crawled out of Wilson’s eye soon after.
Zeke immediately got a small bottle out, then put the black worm in it.
“The rare worm of death.”
“Someone used Wilson’s body as a vessel for over a decade to host and grow this worm.”
Zeke carefully put the bottle away as if he had just gotten a treasure.
Zeke then added, “There’s a saying, all experts that use toxic worms stems from the same family. The murderer is
likely someone connected to the person who poisoned your master. They might even be the same person. Catching
this murderer will give me the necessary information I need to cure your master.”
Jeffrey was encouraged immediately, and he said, “Then I will take that criminal in even if I have to go through hell!
Unfortunately, all three of them are dead. That pushed our investigation into a dead end. It will be extremely
difficult to find the murderer.”
Zeke grinned, but he said nothing.
The situation wasn’t as bleak as Jeffrey said. At the very least, Zeke still had Jacob hidden somewhere.
