This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 It’s Not Tina

Tim was squatting beside the body, and he answered without looking up, “She jumped from a great height and landed headfirst. Her skull broke, and she died on the spot. And also…” He held her hand and pinched it from her fingertips to her shoulder. The bone doesn’t feel right. Tim had a weird look on his face, and he quickly tossed it away and held the other arm up, pinching up from her fingertips to her shoulders as well. When he was done, he squinted, his eyes gleaming darkly.

“What’s wrong?” Toby asked, curious about what Tim just did.

Tim stood up, but he didn’t answer Toby. Instead, he looked at Teddy. “Take the body to the morgue. I’ll have to perform an autopsy.”

“I’ll have to ask my boss about that though.” Teddy frowned.

Tim took his gloves off. “Then make it quick. This is important to the case.”

Teddy looked at him, then at the body on the ground. In the end, he went aside to call someone.

Toby gazed at Tim. “What did you find? I know something’s wrong. The look on your face tells me I’m right.”

Tim adjusted his glasses. “Yes. I suspect that this is not Tina’s body.”

“What did you say?” Toby was shocked, and his face darkened. “It’s not Tina?”

Tim grunted. “I’m seventy percent sure. You know I worked part time as a forensic doctor overseas, so I know a lot about human skeletons. When I checked the arm, I realized that it doesn’t match Tina’s size. Sure, it is almost the same height as Tina, but its bones are bigger, so…”

Teddy came back before he could finish. “My boss has approved the autopsy, Dr. Lancaster. We’ll be counting on you then.”

Tim nodded. “Sure. Just remember to pay me on time.”

The corner of Teddy’s lips twitched. “Don’t worry, we will.” He then told the other officers to clean up the place and take the body to the morgue.

Tim looked at Toby. “I have her DNA sample in the hospital, so I’ll be extracting the body’s DNA and comparing it to hers. If it doesn’t match, that means Tina isn’t dead and is on the run.”

Toby clenched his fists. The air around him was filled with murder, and the look on his face was colder than ice. “I understand. You may leave now. I’ll handle the rest.”

Tim didn’t say anything more. He put his hands into his coat’s pockets and left.

Toby stood in the same place and watched as the officers cleaned the place up. He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a raging storm. He believed Tim’s speculation that the body did not belong to Tina. He already knew something was wrong about Tina’s suicide while he was on the way here. The timing and her motives didn’t add up, and that made him think something bad might have happened. In the end, his worries were not unfounded as Tina wasn’t the one who killed herself; the corpse was just a stand in.

Tim said the bones didn’t match, and the body’s face was weird as well. Toby looked up at the building. He recalled that Tina lived on the tenth floor, so if she did jump down from that height, she would die on the spot, but it wouldn’t mangle her face into an unrecognizable mess.

But the body’s face was just a mess of flesh and bones, making it unrecognizable. He thought something was off when he first saw it, but he hadn’t been able to put a finger on it. When Tim said the corpse might not be Tina, only then did he realize that the body’s face was off.

He could almost confirm that the body’s face had decomposed before it ‘jumped.’ That was why it was a bloody mess. Nobody could recognize it, or they would know Tina didn’t kill herself.
