The police had arrived.

The coroner was the first to storm onto the balcony, and after giving her a thorough examination, he declared Cheryl dead.

They did not even have to resuscitate her.

The coroner summoned a few policemen who were bolder than the rest and instructed them to take care of Cheryl’s dead body.

Just as they were about to take her body away, Joshua furrowed his brows and stopped them.

He gently hugged the corpse through the white cloth that had been draped over it and said, “Don’t worry, Cheryl. I’ll find the person who killed you.”

He let out a small sigh and took off his jacket to drape over Cheryl’s body. Then, he turned to instruct the coroner, ” Please take care of her after performing the autopsy. The dress she’s wearing is too revealing, so I’ll use my jacket to keep her covered for now.

“In the morning, I’ll send someone over with a set of new clothes for her.”

The coroner nodded, then left with the body.
