Just as Walter was starting to panic, a WeChat notification popped up on his mobile phone. The sender was none other than Alex Briggs. ncing at the message, Charlie noticed it contained a photo, and without hesitation, he opened it. What he saw was shocking: a lifeless body, foam pooling at the mouth!


    The corpse was awkwardly sprawled on a seat inside a car, eyes wide open and a grotesque expression frozen on its face. It was clear at first nce that the cause of death was poison.


    As Charlie processed the scene, another message from Alex came through, containing a sentence in English that read: “Boss, the man has been killed. I’ll dispose of him in the riverter. Don’t worry; this clue will definitely be hidden!”


    Charlie immediately scrolled through the chat history between Alex and Walter. The exchange was brief, consisting mostly of terse phrases like “finished,” ing soon,” and “well done.” It was evident that they didn’t often use WeChat for lengthy conversations.


    However, Charlie soon stumbled upon a significant detail: Walter had sent a message to Alex in Chinese that said, “Mercury dichloride!” Shortly after, Walter followed up with another message in English: “Remember this term, don’t make a mistake!” The moment Charlie read those words, his pupils constricted in shock.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Fixing a stern gaze on Walter, he demanded, “Who is this Alex Briggs? Why did you give him mercury dichloride?!”


    Upon hearing the term, Doris Young’s eyes widened in rm. She rushed over to Charlie to take a look at the messages. Realizing that “mercury dichloride” had been mentioned in the chat history between Walter and Alex, she immediately grasped the gravity of the situation.


    With anger bubbling over, Doris confronted Walter, “Walter! We have no issues between us, and we’ve been ssmates for years. Why would you harm my father?!”


    Walter, visibly shaken, stammered, “I—I didn’t do anything!”


    Charlie disyed the gruesome photo Alex had just sent him, thrusting it in front of Walter. “I’m giving you onest chance to exin yourself. What have you done? Otherwise, you can forget about ever returning to the United States alive!”


    Walter stared at the image, his entire body going cold as if struck by lightning. This was the first time he was seeing the photo, sent after Charlie had taken his phone away. He recognized the corpse immediately: it was his subordinate who had posed as a courier to deliver the poisoned book to Doris Young’s house!


    It seemed Alex had swiftly executed his orders, eliminating the subordinate who had been tasked with the poisoning. At that moment, Walter was drenched in cold sweat, panic gripping his heart. He feared that the poisoning of Doris Young’s father woulde to light, but at least, if it had been discovered while her father was still alive, he might have faced a lesser sentence from the Chinese judicial system.<fn525d> Content originallyes from f?ndnovel</fn525d>


    But now, that subordinate was dead!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
