The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 545

"The fired workers harbored deep resentment, which drove them to brutally murder Frank's family of four."

As Nathan finished his sentence, someone in the room asked, "Then where did the human bones at the food stall come from?"

"The son of the food stall owner used to work at the Costello Ranch. He got a discount on meat from them, so the two families had a long-standing business arrangement. According to the suspects' testimonies, the spot where Frank buried the bodies had been dug up. Based on the evidence, it's highly probable that Frank's remains were eaten by the pigs."

A collective gasp echoed through the conference room.

Pigs were omnivores, and using them to dispose of a body was a trope straight out of a horror movie.

But pulling off something like that in reality was incredibly difficult.

"Does that mean the skulls of Frank's family were also..."

"Yes."

Nathan nodded grimly. "We searched the entire ranch and found no trace of the skulls. The only logical conclusion is that they were digested as food waste."

"Our forensic team sifted through the garbage disposed of by the buffet restaurant. Since previous batches of waste had already been incinerated, we only recovered a small fraction of bone fragments from the most recent trash. Reconstruction at this point is virtually impossible."

"This guy was out of his mind."

Using animals to destroy evidence was sickening enough.

But the fact that those animals were then processed for human consumption took it to an entirely different level of depravity.

It was no wonder the case had ignited a massive firestorm online. Anyone who heard about it would be physically repulsed.

Especially in an era where public awareness of food safety was at an all-time high.

Every year during the annual consumer protection sweeps, authorities cracked down on countless counterfeit and sub-standard goods.

But compared to this nightmare, people would gladly take fake designer bags over tainted meat.

Cannibalism—even accidental—was a horrifying concept in any time period.

"So Frank and his family were lured to the ranch and murdered by the workers?"
