The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 501

Nico listened attentively, thinking that Cedrick’s analysis sounded valid.

He asked “Cedrick, if he genuinely wants the Newton Residence, would you assist him?”

A grim look flitted past Cedrick’s eyes. He remained silent, neither confirming his assistance nor explicitly refusing it.

Having been with Cedrick for quite some time, Nico understood what he meant and refrained from asking further.

When they returned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Cedrick promptly instructed Nico to investigate Caylie’s death.

Nico meticulously interrogated every housekeeper and bodyguard in the Newton residence.

However, the investigation that lasted half a day yielded no substantial results.

Caylie’s autopsy results were also out, revealing that she had taken an unknown drug.

Examining the results carefully, Nico asked the forensic examiner, “Can you check which drug responsible for her asphyxiation? Can you also find out when she took it?”

Shaking his head, the forensic examiner replied, “We didn’t find any undissolved residues in Mrs. Newton’s body, so we can’t identify it. We only inferred that she took an unknown substance because we found traces of her being poisoned. However, I think that it isn’t a legal substance obtained from overseas. Regarding when she consumed it, I can’t give a specific time because I don’t know what substance she took. Some drugs have an incubation period, making it entirely plausible for the victim to die only a few days later.”

Nico fell into contemplative silence.

In that case, Charles remained under suspicion as he might still be present during the time of the crime.

Should Craig insist that Charles had stolen the key and gone to the top floor during the welcome party, it would be hard to defend Charles.

Lost in thought, Nico returned to Cedrick’s office and reported the forensic findings to him.
