Sandra helped them up, offering a few words of comfort.
Meanwhile, Yvonne lifted Hans' shirt, revealing the distinct scar on his abdomen. She gently pressed her hand against his stomach.
It was noticeably sunken.
Yvonne's hand trembled uncontrollably as the image of Flora's body after her murder flashed through her mind.
She had looked just like this—her abdomen hollowed out, empty.
“We need to call the police,” Sandra said, her voice thick with emotion.
Yvonne nodded and took out her phone. After a long hesitation, she dialed Bruce’s number.
The Rogers family had operated in Istra for a century; their roots ran deep.
Yvonne didn't know if they had connections within the police force. Right now, the only person she could trust was Bruce, the man who had once been her father.
Bruce and his officers arrived an hour later.
Following procedure, they collected the boy’s body to be taken for an autopsy.
Hans' parents, Sandra, and Yvonne were all brought to the station to give their statements.
Soon after, the autopsy report came back. Hans had died from an infection related to his burns, but his major internal organs were missing.
The police immediately opened a formal investigation.
Before dawn the next day, everyone involved—the director of the Rogers Group’s private hospital, Hans' attending physician and nurse, and the crematorium staff—had been taken into custody.
Given the heinous nature of the case and the possibility of a vast criminal enterprise behind it, Bruce immediately reported it to his superiors.
