Chapter 62
“Yes, about two hours ago, one of my colleagues discovered that he was dead. The body has been moved to the forensic center, and the autopsy is already in progress. Follow me,” Felix said as he led the way.
Caitlin pushed Sebastian’s wheelchair, and Xavi and the others followed closely as they made their way to the forensic center
In the center, Peter’s body lay on an autopsy table, covered with a white sheet. After they entered, Felix lifted the sheet to show them the body, Caitlin glanced at the corpse and asked, “How did he die?”
“Poisoning,” Felix replied, handing her the autopsy report. “We found a neurotoxic substance called ‘tabun‘ in his system.”
Caitlin quickly read the report and understood. Tabun, or ‘dimethylamino–cyanophosphoryl fluoride, is a highly toxic chemical agent. It’s colorless, with a faint bitter almond odor, and it dissolves easily in water. It was commonly used as a chemical weapon during wartime and could easily contaminate water supplies.
“So Peter died because he drank water contaminated with tabun?” Caitlin, asked.
Felix nodded. “Yes, it seems likely that he died from drinking poisoned water.”
Although Sebastian couldn’t see anything, he was listening carefully to their conversation. He spoke up, “Peter died in your detention facility. Who would have poisoned his drinking water? Was he the only one affected? Were there any other victims?”
Felix replied, “That’s something we’re looking into. So far, no one else has shown symptoms of poisoning. Peter is the only one.”
After the incident, Felix had contacted The Vanderbilt Family to make sure everything was handled properly. If they didn’t handle it well, the whole police station could be implicated.
Sebastian asked, “Did Peter confess anything while he was in custody?”
Felix shook his head. “No, he wouldn’t admit anything. Every time we questioned him, he just said it was all his doing.”
Sebastian didn’t press further. Caitlin turned to Felix and said, “Please investigate this thoroughly and find out who’s behind it.”
“We will,” Felix assured her. “We’re on it.”
With all the information they needed for now, Caitlin and Sebastian/left the forensic center and headed back to The Vanderbilt Family.
On the way back, Caitlin sat in the back of the RV, talking to Sebastian about the case. “It looks like the person behind this was trying to silence Peter, afraid he would leak some secrets.”
Sebastian nodded. “Anyone who can make a move right under the police’s nose must have some real skills.”
He had already sent one of his subordinates to secretly investigate, and he was confident that they would have some results soon.
“Could it be one of your enemies? Or someone you’ve crossed?” Caitlin asked.
Sebastian chuckled darkly. “If that’s the case, there are a lot of people out there who want me dead.”
He was certain that the person behind this wouldn’t stop there. “As the saying goes, even the craftiest fox shows its tail eventually. I don’t believe the culprit will stay hidden forever.”
“Felix is already busy enough. With this new case, I don’t know when he’ll manage to get to the bottom of it,” Caitlin remarked.
Sebastian took it a different way, hearing something else in her words. “Felix is paid to handle this. You don’t need to worry about him. Besides, he’s married with kids. Don’t go trying to meddle with his family!”
Caitlin gave him a cold look and shot back, “Is that how you see me? Do you think I’d go after a married man?”

Sebastian smirked. “Isn’t that the kind of woman you are? Always running around, meeting this person and that person. You don’t even care what others
think.”
