Dog Barks at Coffin at Funeral

1. A Shocking Discovery
At his father’s funeral, Ryan noticed his dog Bella acting strangely. She barked, jumped on the coffin, and refused to calm down. Alarmed, Ryan shouted, “Open the casket!” To everyone’s shock, it was empty. His mother fainted, and Ryan rushed her to the hospital.

2. Clues and Secrets
Determined to find answers, Ryan investigated. At the morgue, he learned the coroner had quit and his father’s file was missing. He bribed a nurse for access but found nothing. Meanwhile, his father’s lawyer informed him he was now the company CEO. When Ryan checked his father’s email, it had been wiped clean. He also noticed two dancer figurines missing from the office, despite the lawyer claiming, “Arnold took them home.”

3. A Suspicious Secretary
Ryan tracked down Miss Pearson, his father’s secretary, and broke into her home. There, he found a photo of her kissing his dad and a life insurance policy worth $7 million naming her as the sole beneficiary. Ryan turned the evidence in, and police tried to stop her from fleeing to Morocco. But at the airport, she vanished. “The U.S. doesn’t have an extradition treaty with Morocco,” warned Detective Bradshaw.

4. The Final Move
Ryan followed a hunch about the missing figurines. A collector refused to sell the last one for less than $750,000. Ryan sold company shares to buy it and arranged an auction, hoping to lure out his father. Just as bidding closed, a voice rang out: “$1 million!” Ryan recognized it immediately—it was Arnold. He had faked his death and was alive.
