The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774

The way the woman was butchered senselessly left Lulu flinching, even though she had seen her fair share of gore.

Still, she quickly composed herself and opened her equipment box, whipped out a pair of gloves, and began examining the victim: a young girl with a pretty face.

Initial examination suggests that she was tortured to death, though further investigation was needed for more details.

Lulu was not distressed or embarrassed to see the victim brutalized beyond description, but she instead calmly and thoroughly examined every part of the victim’s body, including the privates.

When she was done, she said, “Initial post-mortem suggests extensive damage to internal organs to be the cause of death. Most of the observable damage is in her womb.”

“Is there nothing else?” Martin asked.

“I took some samples to examine back at the lab. We might get something more conclusive there.”

“Good.”

“Captain, check this out,” an officer said, picking up a bloody beer bottle.

Martin glanced at it and said, “Bag it, tag it, and keep looking.”

After everyone gathered all the evidence they could, they stuffed the victim’s body into a body bag and took it away.

Martin left two officers on the scene to interrogate potential witnesses, while taking the bar owner and the person who called the cops back to the precinct for interrogation.

Someone joked on the way back “You didn’t even blink when you examined that body, Lulu. You really have a stout heart, huh?”

Everyone else were men—Lulu was a woman.

With the unspeakably gruesome death of the victim, anyone without mental fortitude would not be able to stay for long.

“Cut the crap,” Martin growled, shooting the officer a look. Focus on the task at hand, not at the pointless stuff.”

“Oh, right. Our dear captain, always watching out for the lady—”

Martin pulled the officer’s ear before he could finish. “Watch your mouth, or it’s the duct tape treatment.”

Lulu stayed silent, unable to chime in.

Moreover, she had just joined and was not that familiar with her colleagues.

Martin took the papers and scanned through them before putting them away. “Let’s have breakfast together. I’m buying.”

Lulu hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed to it. Isaac was worried after Irene received that weird text, so he drove her to work the next morning.

As the car stopped steadily outside the front entrance of Hotmesh Research, he did not see anyone suspicious.

“You should go to work,” Irene said. “I’ll be safe inside the building.”

Security would not let anyone go in as they like, but Isaac was still worried.

“I’ll walk you inside,” he said, and turned to Eagle. “Keep an eye on everything outside.”

“Yes, Mr. Jefferson,” Eagle replied somberly.

With that Isaac headed up the stairs with Irene when someone called out from behind.

“Are you Irene Spencer?”

“I’ll be safe inside the building.”
