The head of the soldiers who was waiting for Gregory and the coroner outside was furious when he heard this.
"This is too much, my lord. But we haven't found the girl's head yet. She was cut into pieces and then dismembered. The murderer must hate her to guts that he resorted to such cruel way to kill her!"
Gregory returned to my body, reaching out and lifting my right arm.
'Gregory, you can't take it off.' I wanted to stop him, only to find that my hand could go through my broken body.
I couldn't do anything to stop him. I watched him take off the jade bracelet. He looked calm, but I still hoped to see a hint of emotion in his eyes.
But no, there was nothing.
"My lord, this jade bracelet looks familiar." Coroner Linch had been working with Gregory for years. He met me twice before. Could it be that he recognized me?
"Not all the fine jade in the world is so pure. Go to the wealthy families in Santiago and ask if there are any girls who have been betrothed before the age of 20."
Gregory casually handed the bracelet that I treasured to his men to investigate.
The soldiers searched for several days but couldn't get any results in Santiago.
