Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 412: Chapter 412

Half an hour later, I went downstairs and saw the familiar used car parked at the side of the road.
Marvin was wearing a leather jacket. It had only been a few days since we last met, but he looked much more haggard. His hair was a little messy, and he looked dispirited.
If I did not know that he was a police officer, I might think that he was a hooligan. When he saw me walk in, he hurriedly dropped the cigarette in his hand.
"What exactly happened?" I hurriedly asked.
Marvin looked up slightly and sighed softly, "During the investigation of Liesel's case, the forensic doctor found that there was a toxin in her body. At first, the poisoned person did not have any reaction. They would only feel physically exhausted and sleepy.
"However, after a certain period of time, the poisoned person would show symptoms of angina. Over time, the poisoned person would suddenly die. Moreover, there would usually be no abnormalities after death. They would only treat it as an accidental death of a heart attack."
"What do you mean? Didn't Liesel commit suicide by jumping off a building?" I looked at Marvin in a daze.
I didn't see what this case had to do with my mother's death.
Liesel didn't know my mother, and my mother probably hadn't interacted with her before.
Marvin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at me. He said slowly, "Liesel did commit suicide by jumping off a building. The reason is that there was a problem with the products she sold in private and she faced the greatest compensation. Moreover, she owed a lot of money, so she committed suicide by jumping off a building."
"Doesn't she have a rich boyfriend?"
Marvin sneered and frowned slightly. He did not hide the disdain in his tone. "That boyfriend is indeed rich, but he was married long ago. Moreover, the money is in his wife's hands. Ever since Liesel was chased out of Honeydew Estate, the two of them broke up."
He paused and frowned at me. "Are you sure the man who attacked you was Edwin Castro?" he asked grimly.
Expressionless, I nodded.
"But Edwin looked like a yes-man. He said that he liked Liesel because she was good-looking. Because she didn't have a place to live, he got someone to help rent a house in Honeydew Estate. He didn't expect her to be chased out after offending someone. He was afraid of implicating himself, so he broke up with Liesel."
What Marvin meant was that someone with Edwin's personality would not have the guts to push me.
I was speechless. "Are you sure he will show you everything about him?"
"I've sent people to keep an eye on him. Other than being lecherous, I didn't find anything else. Moreover, he's quite afraid of his wife." Marvin was silent for a moment before the topic returned to Liesel.
He continued, "Even if Liesel doesn't commit suicide, she won't be able to live."
I asked, "Why would you suspect my mother's death? Do you think she was poisoned, too?"
Marvin nodded. He said, "From Wilhelm's death, we found Liesel. If she didn't commit suicide, she might have died at home or in the live broadcast room. At that time, her death would only be thought to be due to physical reasons. No one would suspect that she was poisoned. Moreover, I checked your mother's death and she died of a heart attack. Although there's no evidence to prove that your mother was poisoned, I still think it's too much of a coincidence."
My heart sank. The afternoon sun was bright and the temperature was high, but I felt a bone-chilling cold all over.
Marvin's suspicions were not wrong.
Actually, when my mother passed away, I had my doubts. It was unlikely that my would mother suddenly have a heart attack. Initially, I thought that she had met someone and was agitated.
However, I could not find any clues.
"I understand. I'll ask Bonnie when she comes back," I said calmly.
"Laurel, leave this case to the police." Marvin stared at me with burning eyes.
I knew he was afraid I'd investigate it myself. After all. this case already involved two deaths.
However, the police had yet to find any valuable clues. This could only mean that the culprit was not only meticulous but also ruthless.
If my mother was one of them, that would be a total of three lives. After Marvin left, I returned to my mother's room.
We had eaten the same food every day, so it was impossible for her to be poisoned with food. The most likely thing was that it was in the medicine my mother took every day.
However, I wondered who had access to her medication.
Similarly, if Liesel was poisoned while living alone, I wondered who could have poisoned her.
The room was tidied up. Her clothes in the wardrobe had been burned when she was buried.
There was only a photo of her and me in the entire room, but I was young in the photo.
She looked young, as well. There was a smile in her eyes, but she looked so forced.
Actually, my relationship with my mother wasn't particularly good when I was little.
In my childhood, I did not have the company of my parents. The Nelson siblings were the only ones who were around me. Later on, my mother had no choice but to return to the Brown family.
Life had just gotten better since then, and our relationship had become much closer.
However, I still envied those little girls who could hold their mother's hand and be held in their arms. As a child, I used to think that my mother didn't seem to like me.
That would explain why she put me in someone else's house. It wasn't until I grew up that I gradually understood that she was actually just sick.
At the moment she wanted to end her life, she seemed to think of me, so she gave up.
She loves me. She just can't be like other people's mothers. I called Bonnie and asked if there had been anything unusual before my mother's death.
Bonnie thought about it for a while but didn't find anything wrong with my mother. The only thing that changed was that she seemed to be sleeping better than before.
I had an answer in my heart. It was indeed as Marvin had said. My mother had also died from poisoning.
"Laurel, what happened?" Bonnie's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Nothing. I was just curious."
Bonnie comforted me on the phone before hanging up.
I didn't plan to tell Bonnie about this. After all, there was no evidence to prove that my mother was poisoned. Only by catching the murderer could the truth be revealed.
As for the person who pushed me down the stairs, I was sure it was Liesel's ex-boyfriend, Edwin.
Therefore, the person who killed Liesel might be him.
As for the reason, I didn't understand.
I wondered if he was afraid that Liesel would tell others about his plot to kill me, or if he was being threatened.
