Chapter: 738
Hector sighed and patted him on the back in consolation. Then, he turned to look at Dustin and asked the question everybody was curious about. "How could you tell?"
"I already realized that something was off since yesterday, but I couldn’t be sure. Only when I got close to Quentin today did I realize that his face was deathly pale, and his limbs were stiff. There was even a smell of rot on him. Although the incense covered the smell of rot, I still managed to notice. Of course, I did not act rashly. The main question I had to find the answer to was who was controlling Quentin’s body and what this person’s motive is," Dustin explained.
"Then have you found out?" Hector asked.
Dustin nodded and said, "Of course, I’ve already found out who the perpetrator is."
"Who is it?" Hector narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists subconsciously.
"This person is so near yet so far." Dustin looked around and pointed at a pretty young woman beside Trent." It’s her!"
"Huh?" Everybody looked in the direction he was pointing in and immediately frowned.
"Me?" The young woman was stunned. "Bullshit! You speak nothing but nonsense!"
After a moment of shock, Trent got worked up. "You idiot! You just murdered my son, and now you’re slandering my wife? What are you trying to do?!"
"Dustin, do you know that she is my sister–in–law?" Hector asked with a frown.
"Of course I do," Dustin said calmly. "Not only is she your sister–in–law, but also the perpetrator of this incident. She is the mastermind behind controlling Quentin’s corpse!"
"The mastermind?"
Everyone’s gaze fell on the beautiful lady when they heard that. Had he said that at any other time, none of them would have believed him. In fact, they might even have brushed it off as a lie. But after everything that had happened, they had no choice but to consider his words seriously. After all, they had just witnessed a corpse moving around with such vitality. At this point, nothing seemed impossible anymore.
"Hey, miracle doctor, I haven’t crossed you before this, have I? Why are you setting me up?" The beautiful lady frowned with a troubled expression.
"Dustin, you better not be accusing others without solid proof!" Hector warned him gravely. His brother had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and now, his wife was accused of being the perpetrator. This was no doubt rubbing salt in his wound.
"That’s right! What proof have you got to claim that our sister–in–law has anything to do with this?" Jacob demanded loudly.
"I must have a certain level of confidence to accuse someone of something so severe." Dustin gazed pointedly at the woman and said, "Quentin’s body has a unique scent on it. And she has the same smell on her, only much stronger. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and catch a whiff."
A few of the ladies who stood close to the woman went closer and sniffed the air around her. Immediately they nodded. "He’s right! She does have a special scent on her, and it’s the same scent on Quentin’s body!"
Everyone’s expression changed when they heard that, and their look on the woman turned wary.
"I’ve always been using fragrances that I formulate myself, and Quentin’s my son! What’s so strange about my scent rubbing off on him?" She tried her best to explain the situation.
