After Aisha's investigation, she learned that the blonde woman's surname was Richie. She had once been a member of the Richie family, though she was not the Mafia boss's biological daughter, merely his cousin's daughter. Even so, she had been a young lady of quite respectable birth.
Records on those connected to the Mafia were relatively detailed. Aisha discovered that Miss Richie had died of severe allergies ten years ago. At the time, she had been married to Bob for three years and had no children. After her death, Bob had never remarried.
Aisha immediately realized that Miss Richie's death was far from simple, because too many things had happened at the ten-year mark.
Ten years ago, the Wardle Engineering Team had faced a business crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy, only to suddenly receive investment from Williams's real estate company. That same year, Bob joined the Wardle Engineering Team as a manager. That same year, the middle school and elementary school divisions shut down due to poor management and their buildings were demolished. And that same year, Bob's wife, Miss Richie, died.
If Miss Richie's death had not been an accident but a deliberate murder, then the most likely suspect was naturally her husband, Bob. In that era ruled by the Mafia, if Bob had dared to act, he would certainly have made it flawless. Ten more years had passed since then, so finding any evidence now would probably be difficult.
But precisely because the Mafia had been at its peak in those days, Bob should not have taken such a huge risk merely for his own future. If he had been discovered, he would have died without a burial place.
That meant Bob must have had a reason to kill his wife even at the risk
