Chapter 668 - A Female Corpse (1/2)

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so flustered?” Team Leader Liu said with a frown. He could already guess that something must have happened from the expression on that policeman’s face.

“We’ve found a skeleton 500 meters ahead along the mountainside,” the policeman said and his eyes were filled with shock as he pointed with a trembling finger toward a small hill in front of them.

The trees here were lush and green and the air was chilly and cold.

Ye Hao paled the instant he heard the word ‘body’, and he felt like he was about to die, was as though an arrow had lodged itself inside his heart. His eyes suddenly widened and shock was written all over his eyes. He couldn’t help but stumble backward and his legs suddenly gave way, so he almost fell onto the ground.

This news was like a bolt from the blue.

Team Leader Liu reached out to support him.

“Mr. Ye…” he said. “You said ‘skeleton’ and not ‘body’, right?” he asked. He could tell that Ye Hao had mistakenly thought that they had found a body.

“Skeleton?” Ye Hao repeated numbly. His voice trembled because he was so anxious.

The policeman nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Ye. We found the skeleton and we estimate that the time of death was more than six months ago, so it can’t possibly be your ex-wife.”

The policeman further elaborated. This was his fault. He shouldn’t have rushed in so hastily and now, he had accidentally given the family of the missing person such a fright.

Ye Hao placed his hand over his chest and slowly came back to his senses. He closed his eyes and let out a long exhale. However, he seemed even more worried and anxious when he opened his eyes again.
