I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 431

Benjamin asked Curtis, "Why do you think the family of the deceased is so eager to have the deceased buried?"

Curtis was shocked.

He thought carefully before replying, "If they just want the deceased to rest in peace, why didn't they insist on it from the beginning?"

"You're right. As the situation is getting more and more complicated, they're anxious."

Benjamin squinted his eyes coldly and said, "Tell the police that I want to apply for an autopsy of the body. The Martin Group harbors doubts about this matter. Only the autopsy can give an answer."

Without anything suspicious, he was willing to agree to the request of the deceased's family. After all, the deceased was the most important.

But if there were other things hidden in it, he wouldn't be willing to.

Curtis immediately contacted the police, who directly informed the deceased's family.

​Upon receiving this notice, the family of the deceased were reluctant and went straight to the police station to voice their refusal. However, the police explained that they had to work with them on everything because the matter had not been thoroughly investigated.

Thus, they once again made their way to the Martin Building, holding a white banner with a plea for justice. They urged the Martin Group to admit that the collapse was an accident and to give all the victims an explanation as soon as possible.

They even said in front of reporters and media, "The Martin Group, relying on its wealth and influence, bullies ordinary people like us. My son, the breadwinner of my family, lost his life due to the collapse. However, they asked for an autopsy. It's a grave disrespect to us. Please speak for us!

"As ordinary people, we are no match for a big company like the Martin Group. I hope Mr. Martin will be kind enough to satisfy our wish. We don't want any compensation but the truth, so my son can rest in peace soon!"

The cries of the family members echoed in the cameras of onlookers and reporters, evoking a subconscious wave of sympathy and compassion in most observers.

The family members were especially crying sadly. After all, the deceased was an only child, and he had a wife and children of several years old. At first glance, it was indeed a tragedy.

Many people at the scene tried to support the family members, but they only prayed for justice and hoped that everyone could help persuade the Martin Group.

Due to the instigation of the family members, numerous bystanders volunteered their support. Whenever someone exited the Martin Building, be they employees or partners, they would step forward and beg, "Could you relay to Mr. Martin the family's plea for justice? Their plight is already heartrending. Wouldn't requesting an autopsy only compound their grief?"
