After My Daughter’s Death, My Lawyer Husband Defends the MurdererChapter 1
Her husband was a top lawyer, but for the sake of his first love, he unknowingly let his daughter get hung under a car and dragged to death miserably.
Her husband strictly upheld the law, defended the murderer, and argued for her as reasonably as he could.
But he didn't know that the deceased was his daughter.
What's more, he didn't know that his daughter went out that night to buy a birthday gift for him.
On a business trip, I read such a piece of news from two days ago.
"A truck trucker dragged someone along the highway for a hundred kilometers before passers-by stepped in."
"When the victim was found, she was covered in wounds and was badly mutilated. The edges and corners of her face had been flattened. The only thing that could be told was that she was a woman. It was said that the truck driver was suspected of drunk driving."
"What a beast!"
I couldn't help but feel sorry for the victim. Then, I received a call from the police.
"Ms. Lawrence, I'm sorry to inform you that the victim of the highway accident was confirmed to be your daughter after DNA comparison two days ago. You need to come to us and claim the body."
As soon as I heard that, my mind went blank.
My only thought was that it was impossible!
I flew to the morgue of the police station overnight and saw a lump of flesh. It wasn't a human being's corpse at all.
The air was filled with a burst of foul smell.
I couldn't connect the thing in front of me with my sensible and beautiful daughter. Then the police handed me the autopsy report.
"Dora Hill" on the name board made my vision darken. I almost fainted to the ground.
The policeman next to me quickly held me up.
My eyes were dull, and I could not even shed tears. Fearing that I was on the verge of a mental breakdown, he spoke gently.
"You're the only emergency contact your daughter has, so we contacted you as soon as possible. You'd better contact your husband. It's better for you two to face such a thing together than to face it alone by yourself."
I nodded numbly and took out my cell phone, but I couldn't stop my hands from trembling. I struggled to make a call.
After the call was connected, the surroundings over there were very quiet. Faint sounds of a woman's cry could be heard.
