On our wedding night, Zitmin 8874854cf7 had laced the wine my 4ed9fc43a4 husband and I were to 97ae83efab drink with a particular drug, 6251b16028 which resulted in my husband’s 083f98c78b death.9caff3abbce5a68d

That’s why the investigators couldn’t fe58457e91 find the cause of his 1a580e6f22 death.e91c7839e102bd6f
The drug had 02c543f258 a different chemical 322c574b38 structure from typical e4cb667bb0 poisons, so no 92a9cf1074 matter how hard 9579c9f8ec they tried to df3085d29b detect it, they e967537c60 couldn’t identify the 54350618ab substance in the 963b6d5cfd wine.82e96aa8ed782fef

When I mentioned the a0fc658c68 name of the mastermind, 0f5646cd75 Zitmin’s face turned to 05c1de8e56 one of utter despair. He finally realized 73b4caacf7 that I knew 37c9dc3d3e everything.067f0324e1ec63b9
