Even in the early morning, this breeding area is still quite lively, and the noise from people getting involved can be quite loud.

But if you go a little further on, you'll pass a small park. There aren't many buildings or people around there, making it a good place to start.

But before they even arrived at their destination, an accident occurred.

At an intersection, Josie watched as Tony Wendis drove ahead, then accelerated and crashed into a parked car on the side of the road.

Josh: ...

Look, this is the consequence of drunk driving.

However, drunk driving laws in the United States didn't come into effect until the 70s; it wasn't illegal in the 40s.

With that collision, Josie probably wouldn't be able to make a move.

Just as he was driving past the accident scene and preparing to leave...

But things took a turn for the better...

Because he saw in his rearview mirror that four men in cheap suits got out of the car that had been hit, cursing and swearing...

Clearly, these four people didn't just stop here temporarily; they were already stationed here.

At this point, I'm keeping watch by the roadside...

Josie couldn't help but seem thoughtful.

Without making a sound, I turned at the intersection ahead, parked the car, put on a mask and gloves, stored the car in the system warehouse, and then turned back.

When he carefully turned back, Tony Wendis had already been dragged out of the car by four men and was being brutally beaten on the roadside.

After beating each other up, the four of them seemed to have finally vented their anger.

After searching Tony Wendis's body and finding his wallet, watch, and other items, he returned to his car.

But after a series of engine clicks, the four men quickly got out of the car, cursing and swearing.

It turned out that their car wouldn't start after Tony Wendice hit it.

I got out of the car, opened the hood to check, but found nothing.

One of them quickly turned his attention to Tony Wendis's car.

So I went up and tried it, but came down again very quickly.

Obviously, the car was broken too.

Enraged, the four men kicked Tony Wendice repeatedly before taking some things from the trunk of their car and leaving.

Although it was quite far away, Josh could see clearly that they were several guns...

Look again at the distance...

Wow, it's a fairly large, high-end jewelry store.

What else could Josie say?

Tony Wendis was unlucky; these four men were clearly there because they were after this jewelry store.

Before he could even make a move, he crashed into it.

The reason why these four people gave up is quite simple.

Because their car broke down, they couldn't steal much without a vehicle, and if they accidentally triggered the alarm, they wouldn't even be able to escape.

If you don't give up in this situation, are you waiting to be shot by the police or go to jail?

After the four people had completely left, no one passed by, except for Tony Wendis, who lay by the roadside, his fate unknown.

Josie then stepped out from the shadows and walked to Tony Wendis's side.

I glanced at him; although he was unconscious, he was still breathing and hadn't died.

Without much hesitation, she grabbed his hair and slammed him hard to the ground.

The sound of the back of his head hitting the ground was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

He only smashed it once, without even checking whether Tony Wendice was dead or not, and immediately left the scene. Only after he was far away did he retrieve his car and quietly leave.

Although Tony Wendice wasn't completely disappeared, Josie didn't believe that the police in this day and age could find him without surveillance footage, witnesses, fingerprints, a murder weapon, bloodstains, or anything else.

The most likely scenario is that the investigation will only trace back to those four individuals.

A fight after a car accident, resulting in accidental death—isn't that a normal thing? What does it have to do with Josh Kahn?

Besides, since those four people were planning a robbery, they definitely weren't clean. Josie herself felt guilty about not using such a good scapegoat.

Then let Margot exert a little more pressure as the victim's widow.

Given the level of corruption within the Chicago Police Department at this time, it's definitely better to avoid trouble and simply solidify the case.

There's absolutely no way to connect it to Josie.

So please, never drink and drive. Look how much trouble this saves Josie!

Of course, if Tony Wendice survived such a heavy blow, then he's incredibly lucky.

If that's the case, Josie wouldn't mind going to the extra trouble to make him disappear completely.

Chapter 27 There are so many good people

Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!

The shrill ring of the telephone startled Margot from her sleep.

I turned on the bedside lamp and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. 3 a.m.? Who would call at this hour?

This question didn't linger for long; Margot quickly remembered her infatuated little lover and immediately grabbed the phone receiver.

"Hello?" Margot greeted tentatively.

“Margot, it’s me!” Josie’s voice came through the phone.

"Josie, why are you calling me so late? Is there a result regarding that matter?" Margot asked, her voice trembling slightly as she heard that it was indeed Josie.

“We have the results, but they’re none of our business,” Josie said, his tone a little strange, but Margot didn’t notice.

“Yes, I understand, it has nothing to do with us!” Margot took a deep breath.

“No, I mean it literally. Tony Wendis is dead, but it wasn’t our people who did it!” As soon as Josie heard Margot’s words, she knew that Margot had misunderstood, so she bluntly explained what had happened.

Of course, he completely omitted the part where Josh delivered the final blow.

If this part of the story doesn't exist, then even if their phone is being tapped now, Tony Wendis's death has nothing to do with Josie.

It all happened because Tony Wendis was driving under the influence of alcohol, crashed into someone else's car, and was accidentally killed after a conflict... The police could easily reach this conclusion with just a little investigation of the scene.

Upon hearing Josie's words, Margot was stunned for a moment, followed by overwhelming joy.

She had always been a good girl, and although she was determined to get rid of Tony Wendis, it was impossible for her not to feel uneasy.

Now it's all right, Tony Wendis is dead, and it has nothing to do with her.

This made her feel incredibly relaxed.

“Josie, I miss you…” In a great mood, Margot couldn’t help but whine to Josie on the phone, completely ignoring the fact that the person who had died was her husband.

“Honey, I miss you too, but it’s not the right time yet. I reckon the police will find you by tomorrow morning. When that happens, you can put some pressure on them to get the case closed as soon as possible. Once the case is closed, we can be together openly.” Josie comforted him on the phone.

Margot indicated that she understood.

The two spent a long, intimate time together before Margot reluctantly hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Margot, who was slightly excited, didn't go back to sleep. Instead, she happily opened a bottle of champagne for herself.

After drinking alone for a while, Margot suddenly remembered something else.

That was her deadbeat husband, a tennis player who had bought a lot of insurance.

It seems that he can get a large sum of compensation by dying?

Margot hadn't thought of this before because Josie had said she wanted to make that deadbeat "disappear".

If someone is simply missing and their death cannot be proven, the insurance company can refuse to pay out.

So Margot hadn't thought about this before.

But now, if this dead man is indeed determined to have been killed by mistake, then unless the insurance policy contains a clause stating that the loss is borne by a third party for injuries caused by a third party, the insurance company must pay the full amount.

That bastard's annual insurance premiums are quite high, and Margot has always been paying them, so she's naturally the beneficiary.

How much was the total compensation again? It's probably several million.

Good heavens, with that deadbeat gone, Margot's fortune is likely to double.

What a good man!

Thinking of this, Margot felt the same sentiment as Josie.

The hatred he once felt for Tony Wendis has completely vanished.

As a token of her gratitude, she decided she had to give this guy a truly grand funeral, otherwise it would be a real shame to have paid millions in compensation!

Time flies, and morning arrived in the blink of an eye.

Just as Josie had predicted, around 8 a.m., Margot was having morning tea when the police showed up at her door.
