“Indeed you are vright to have your concerns! I assure you though, ze body is that of a criminals; ve can’t go body snatching now can we?” A smirk pulled at his lips as he said this, obvious to all of the visitors, he tried to hide it under his hand playing with his moustache.
“But surely there are many criminals executed every week?! Why this one? Why now?” the voice from the back stated again...
“Indeed you are vright friend, many criminals do die, but zis body is special. Zis man fell not by hanging, electrocution or lethal injection but by naturez own hands....Now if we have vasted enough time already! Let uz begin!”
