Half an hour after Andrew left, Chantelle arrived at the scene with law enforcement officers.
The medical examiner immediately rushed over to examine the body. Then, he looked up and reported, "Ms. Garcia, the cause of death is skull penetration by a golden acupuncture needle. It's hard to imagine that a needle meant for healing could have such lethal power."
Chantelle's expression darkened as she responded with a curt mumble without saying anything further.
The officer who had been checking the victim's information said, "Ms. Garcia, we've confirmed the victim's identity. His name was Rio Atkins—Mosby's senior apprentice. He was somewhat of a celebrity in Blumedale!"
"Package the body and send it to the deceased's family," Chantelle ordered coldly.
One of the officers asked, "Ms. Garcia, should we issue a warrant?"
Chantelle shook her head. "No need. I know who the killer is."
The officer smiled. "That makes things easier. Ms. Garcia, you can lead us to make the arrest.
