Stella waited for Frederick to hang up the phone, and then she continued asking, "Are the windows soundproof?"
Frederick shook his head and replied, "This is an old house. They are just ordinary windows."
"Your mother's tongue was cut off. This is the first thing that the murderer did so that she could not make any sounds. Her lips were then sealed after that.
Certain scars would only start to appear after a day. I think bruises will start to show on her face and shoulder after a while.
However, even though her mouth was sealed, she should have been able to make other noises before that. You should ask around if anyone has heard or seen anything."
"I will hand this matter over to the police, Benjamin too will be involved in the investigation. You could drop by and listen to the reports he makes every day," Frederick said sadly.
Perhaps it was because he was grieving over his mother's death.
