Chapter 477

Several paramedics dashed toward the scene with a stretcher.

Angelica shouted, “Doctor… We have an injured man here…”

To ensure suspects did not die wrongful deaths because they were left to bleed out, priorities were always shifted to

ensuring they received medical attention once they got injured.

A doctor and a paramedic hurried over, and they hoisted the man onto the stretcher.

Once the man was placed on the stretcher, he began foaming at the mouth while his body spasmed uncontrollably.

The doctor frowned and pushed the man’s eyelids open. His pupils were dilated, and his vision had gone slack.

“He committed suicide by consuming poison!”

“Can he be saved?” Angelica asked, her eyebrows knitting themselves together closely.

“The poison he consumed is potent. He’ll be dead any minute now. We won’t get to the hospital to have his

stomach pumped in time!”

The doctor sighed.

Jupiter had caught up to them.

Angelica looked at him. “He killed himself…”

Jupiter had also heard what the doctor said.

He gritted his teeth. “Yet another hitman…”

Hitmen were notoriously known for being tight-lipped and ready to kill themselves at a moment’s notice. It was

always difficult to obtain any information from them.

It took Nash another 20 minutes before he arrived at the scene.

Jupiter brought him up to speed on what had happened.

Nash took a look at the corpse. Rigor mortis was already beginning to set in.

Then, he glanced at the building, where the fire on the eighth floor was still raging. “Is there

else still inside?”

anyone

Jupiter sighed. “By the time the firemen managed to rescue them, they had already burned to a crisp!”

Nash narrowed his eyes. “What else did they find?”

If it were one of their enemies, they would not have set fire to a Baroque Group employee’s

home.

However, if it were merely a business competitor, they did not need to take things so far.

Who on earth was the mastermind behind all this?

“We investigated the family members of Mr. Jacobs and two other employees working in the maintenance team.

We noticed Mr. Jacobs’ cousin had received a payment of 300,000 dollars.

Their house caught on fire right after we issued them a subpoena!

“As of now, we can be sure that Mr. Jacobs was in cahoots with someone else. That person hired a hitman to kill him

and his family because they were worried he would spill the beans!

“It’s my fault for being careless. If we had come straight to Mr. Jacobs and his family, they would not have met with

this misfortune!”

Jupiter took his cigarette, which he had tucked behind his ear, and stuffed it into his mouth after lighting it. He spoke

in a reproachful tone.

The fire at Jade Lakeside Gardens continued burning for another two hours.

All the houses located on the eighth floor and beyond were burnt to a crisp.

Once the fire was put out, Jupiter and several inspectors entered Mr. Jacobs’ home to search for clues.

The house was so badly destroyed that they did not find a single clue.

Hera called Nash.

Nash took his phone and walked over to the windowsill to answer the call.

He stood on a pile of soot and ash.

There was a crack.

He seemed to have stepped on something.

Nash moved his foot aside and realized it was an audio recorder pen about the size of one’s pinky finger.
