Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 2060

Lucian didn't let Roxanne watch the exhumation process and instead pulled her to the entrance of the cemetery to wait.

“Don't worry, Darling. These officers are very professional. They just need to take some bones for testing. Once the testing is done, the bones will be returned intact. Nothing will be lost!” Lucian reassured her.

Roxanne wasn't superstitious, but she made a suggestion. “Honey, after the testing is done, can we move the grave? Although I don't think my father is qualified to be buried next to my mother, my mother truly loved him in her lifetime. That's why she was so selfless. If only she could have decided enough was enough, maybe things would have been different!”

Lucian nodded in agreement as it was no problem to do so. This cemetery was small in scale and far away, which made it inconvenient for visits anyway.

After working for almost three hours, Bill and the group of officers came out. The officers nodded at Roxanne and Lucian before saying, “We can confirm that the remains of Ms. Jarvis' mother show signs of poisoning before death, and it was quite severe. Of course, we need to take the samples back for further testing to see what kind of poison was used. It won't take long, though. You'll only need to wait around one or two days for the results!”

When Bill heard this, he frowned and said, “You punks should work overtime and get the results within a day!”

The other officers hurriedly nodded in response.

Bill asked the young officers to leave first and then went back to the car with Lucian and Roxanne.

The first sentence out of his mouth was his conclusion. “If I'm not mistaken, it's mercury poisoning!”

Mercury, also known as quicksilver, was the only metal that existed in liquid form under normal temperature and pressure. It could evaporate at room temperature, and the vapor and compounds of mercury were highly toxic.

Thermometers contained this substance, and if accidentally broken, one had to be extremely careful due to the toxicity of the mercury vapor.

Roxanne was stunned when she heard the answer.
