Andersi Cole looked shocked, "Do you think the blue spots on the ground are all blood stains?"

"Yes, has there been any blood here before?"

"No." Andersi seemed to have thought of something, "I bought it. Could it be that this is my wife's blood? I told the two policemen a long time ago that it is impossible for my wife to run away from home, but they just refused.

listen.

Deputy Luke, will my wife be in danger?"

Luke took out a photo of a piece of cotton cloth, which was the piece of cloth that was blocked in the deceased's mouth. There were some cloud patterns printed on the cotton cloth, and there were also bloody writings left on it.

"Have you seen this piece of cotton?"

Andersi picked up the photo, looked at it, and thought, "Despicable people should not live in this world." Andersi shook his head, "I have never seen this piece of cotton, does it have anything to do with my wife?"

When things got to this point, Luke didn't hide anything anymore, "Andesi, I want to say something now, don't get excited.

We have found a person whose physical characteristics are similar to your wife, but we are still not sure whether she is your wife."

Andersi picked up the photo on the coffee table and rubbed it gently with his right thumb, "This is my wife."

Luke glanced at the woman in the photo and recalled the burnt black corpse. Even though his powers of observation were far superior to ordinary people, he couldn't tell whether they were the same person.

"Yesterday morning, we received an alarm. There was a fire in a resident's house. When the firefighters were putting out the fire, they found a female body. It had been burned beyond recognition and could not be identified.

We can only compare the body's physical characteristics with the missing persons database.

After finding people with similar physical characteristics, proceed to the next step of verification.

This is also the purpose of our coming today.”

Andersi's teeth chattered and he said in a trembling voice, "Do you suspect that my wife is the one who was burned to death?"

Luke nodded slightly, "We are just suspicious for the time being.

Your wife and the deceased disappeared at a similar time, and their age and physical characteristics are also relatively consistent, but these are definitely not enough.

If you want, you can have your child conduct a DNA comparison for further confirmation."

"I'm sorry." Andersi stood up, held his head with both hands, and walked back and forth in the room.

"Why is this happening? Why?

I told the two policemen a long time ago that there was no way my wife would run away from home.

Something must have happened to her.

But they just refused to believe it and thought it was their fault that my wife ran away from home because of a quarrel.

If they had rescued her in time, my wife would not have died."

Luke said, "Complaining now won't solve the problem, and it's not yet certain that the deceased is your wife.

I will contact the technical team and ask them to conduct an on-site investigation. We may be able to find more valuable clues and evidence, so that we can thoroughly investigate the cause of your wife's disappearance.

You have to calm down, as long as you haven't done a DNA test yet, everything is possible. There are many people who look alike in this world, maybe it's just a coincidence."

"I understand, let's do the appraisal. I want to know the results as soon as possible."

Luke nodded, took out his mobile phone and contacted Susan, asking her to bring a technical team to the site to investigate.

After making the phone call, Luke was also thinking about the connection between the two cases. If the deceased was really Nancy Cole, then this was probably the first scene where she was kidnapped.

But Luke couldn't figure it out. If the murderer wanted to kill the other person, why not just kill him here instead of taking the victim to another house to kill him? This transfer process added many risks.

At the same time, there are also previous police investigation records. The two police officers did not believe that his wife had been hijacked, or even that his home had been robbed. Instead, they believed that his wife had taken money and ran away from home.

As long as the police are not particularly irresponsible, the other party must have some basis for drawing this conclusion.

Luke looked at Andersi Cole, "Mr. Cole, I want to ask you a few more questions."

Andersi was a little confused at this time and nodded, "You can ask."

"Before, you said that your wife's mood has been a little abnormal recently. Did she encounter something troublesome? What was the reason for your quarrel?"

Andersi hesitated for a moment, "She has a very bad temper recently. She will quarrel over the smallest things. Not only does she complain about me, but she sometimes scolds the children.

You know, as a man, I always hope that my family atmosphere can be more harmonious, so I try to avoid quarrels with her.

But sometimes...it still happens.

I also asked her...why she was in a bad mood.

At first she refused to tell me. She was so angry that it was hard for me to ask.

After she calmed down, I asked again, and she said it was because of work."

"What's wrong with her at work?"

"It means that the work is hard and the clients are difficult. There is nothing special about it. I always feel that she is perfunctory with me, as if she is hiding something from me.

This is also the main reason why I am angry."

"Where does your wife work?"

"Working as a nurse in a beauty salon."

"What's your name and where's your address?"

"It's called Prisa Beauty Salon. It's located at No. 105 Warbana Avenue. That place is easy to find. You can see it when you go there."

Luke took out a photo of Mastin Cage and his wife, "Do you know them two?"

Andersi picked it up and looked at it, "I don't recognize it.

Does my wife’s disappearance have something to do with them?”

"They were the owners of the house that burned down."

Luke took out a photo of Mastin's lover Gail again, "Do you know her?"

Andersi shook his head, "I don't know."

Luke changed another photo, which showed a beautiful two-story villa, "Have you seen this house?"

"No, I can't even imagine such a beautiful house. Is this the burned down house?"

"Yes." Luke put away the photo, "Have you and your wife offended anyone recently? Or encountered any trouble?"

"No, although we are not very wealthy, we have been working hard in life and there is nothing messy about it.

We believe that with our own efforts and hands, we can achieve a better life in the future.

I just didn’t expect Nancy…

I never thought about it." Andersi's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs.

"When you were quarreling, did your wife say anything about divorce?" Luke didn't want to ask this question so directly, but if one spouse had trouble at home, the other spouse would often become the target of suspicion.

"No, our relationship as husband and wife has always been very good. Sometimes we quarrel, but that's normal.

Our husband and wife will never get divorced, and we have never gotten to that point. It's impossible."

Luke stopped and then changed the subject, "Where are your other two children?"

"They are all in school."

"Can you call them back? I want to make a record for them."

Andersi thought for a while, "I haven't decided how to tell them yet, and I don't want them to be worried.

I hope to wait until the identification results come out tomorrow... and then tell them.

I hope you can understand that this is not easy for a family." Andersi looked at the house, "My little daughter has been waiting for her mother to come back, and I don't know... and I can't... speak."

Andersi wiped his eyes and looked very sad.

Luke didn't press any further and searched the house.

The house is small and somewhat dilapidated, with only three rooms. The master bedroom belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Andersi. The eldest daughter and the younger daughter share a room, and the son shares a room. If Nancy dies, the family will be even worse.

Half an hour later, Susan led the team to the scene.

Three days have passed since Nancy disappeared, and the scene has been damaged to a certain extent.

There are not many clues and evidence available.

Even if some evidence is obtained, it can no longer be used in court.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, there was not much progress in the investigation of the case, so Luke went home.

The main reason why he got off work so early was because the DNA comparison of the deceased had not been completed and it was not yet certain whether the deceased was Nancy.

Only when the DNA comparison results come out and the identity of the deceased is confirmed, the next step of the investigation will be meaningful.

Instead of staying and working overtime, it's better to go to work early tomorrow.

In the evening, when Luke got home, he received a text message.

Five hundred thousand US dollars were transferred into his mobile banking, and the remittance note was a reward for bravery from the MGM Group.

Luke originally thought that MGM would contact him after remitting the money, but after waiting for half an hour, there was no news.

Even if there is no news, Luke doesn't want to answer the other party's call now. We are not familiar with each other, and he doesn't know what to say if he answers the phone.
