Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 760

"Let's pull him up first. See if any of you recognize him," Yolanda said.

Knox gestured to two of his bodyguards, who quickly set to work. Using ropes, iron hooks, and other tools from the clinic, they carefully fished the body out of the well.

It was the corpse of a man. Judging by the condition of the body, he hadn't been in the well for long, there was no bloating yet.

Yolanda slipped on a pair of gloves, crouched beside the body, and began a careful examination.

Her gaze settled on a stab wound in the man's back. He was killed first, then dumped into the well afterward.

Yolanda turned the body over, exposing the man's face. Her eyes swept over the others.

"Does anyone recognize him?"

Dunstan and Jamie exchanged uncertain glances before shaking their heads.

"No… I don't," Dunstan said, with Jamie echoing his response a moment later.

Knox studied the man's face for a long moment but eventually shook his head as well.

"Never seen him before," he muttered.

But one of Knox's bodyguards, who had helped pull the corpse from the well, continued to stare at the man's face with a thoughtful expression.

"Mr. Knox…" the bodyguard started hesitantly.

"Speak up! Ms. Henderson isn't an outsider," Knox barked as he gave the bodyguard a sharp look.

"I think I know him. He's one of Mr. Caldwell's bodyguards. His name's Mike."

Knox's eyes narrowed. "Are you sure?"

Yolanda's expression hardened as the weight of the revelation sank in.

"I'm sure!" the bodyguard insisted.

He stared at the corpse again. "Back during the duel, we were stationed outside the arena, keeping watch. He was there too, with the other Caldwell bodyguards. They were standing across from us."
