Chapter 5

Seeing the plane about to head to the cleaning area, I immediately stepped forward, begging Eric to conduct another investigation.

He frowned tightly and said sternly:

"Ms. Igor, the police prioritize case work, we're not your personal security!"

Seeing me, people around shook their heads and whispered about me.

"Her husband is right in front of her, and she refuses to believe it! If I had a crazy woman like this, I'd want a divorce too!"

"Is this person ever going to stop? She's disrupting public order—I'm going to report her to the police too!"

In desperation, I suddenly thought of the key point.

"Eric! I request you weigh the plane!"

This method was something Simons had mentioned when explaining similar body-hiding cases to me.

As soon as I said this, Eric looked at me with surprise and scrutiny.

He whispered a few words to the forensic expert beside him, who immediately looked at me with surprise.

"I didn't expect you to think of this method. It's worth a try."

With his approval, the plane was sent to the maintenance area to be weighed.

The fabric on my back dried and dampened again, and my accelerated heart rate made my fingers tremble.

Finally, news came from the maintenance area.

"The entire plane weighs exactly 145 pounds more than before takeoff!"

In other words, inside this seemingly normal plane, an adult was hidden!

This answer greatly surprised the police!

Eric's previously impatient frown deepened, but for the first time, he took my words seriously.

Leading the police dog, he personally led people to search the plane again.

The forensic expert came with me to fake Simons.

He politely introduced himself, then began examining the man.

The police brought equipment, from facial recognition to fingerprints.

But nothing showed abnormalities—all green lights.

My originally tense heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Seeing this result, the originally excited crowd also became disappointed.

"I thought what this woman said was true, but now it seems it's all fake!"

"He just doesn't want to be with her anymore. Maybe this whole airplane body thing is her death threat to her husband!"

Once this conspiracy theory emerged, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at me.

They all stepped back, looking at me with wariness and apprehension.

I had no time to explain and followed the forensic expert to the final procedure—the lie detector.

The man put on the detection equipment and answered every question from the expert.

From his name to his business assignment, he answered everything seamlessly.

The lie detector kept showing green lights.

When the expert asked why he transferred a million dollars to me, I saw him hesitate for a moment.

"This is something I voluntarily gave her as my responsibility as a husband."

I stared intently at the lie detector light.

After the system identified it...

It still lit up with a faint green light!

At that moment, the mocking gazes of the crowd felt tangible, like rolling black clouds sweeping over me!

Fake Simons patted his sleeves and stood up gracefully.

Yael took his arm and looked at me mockingly.

"I think the person who should be using the lie detector is you. If it weren't for your lies, Simons and I would have already landed in the Maldives!"

Her words triggered all the passengers' complaints.

They began pressuring the airport and police with complaints.

I gritted my teeth and steeled my heart. I simply put on the lie detector device!

Facing everyone's eyes watching the spectacle, I calmed my heart and responded to the expert's questions one by one.

As I answered, green lights began to appear.

And the forensic expert's attitude became increasingly serious.

Since neither fake Simons nor I had lied, what could the truth be?

He pulled out the couple's photo taken in the cabin and asked word by word:

"Ms. Igor, why did you conclude, after seeing this photo, that your husband was killed and became the body on the plane?"

I closed my eyes and opened an old notebook from seven years ago.

At the same time, I said something quietly to the forensic expert.

The moment the lie detector showed a green light, the forensic expert raised his hand and pointed to the two people not far away with interlocked fingers.

"Arrest them immediately! They're suspected of involvement in an airplane body-hiding case!"
