CHAPTER 81

"He's not dead yet…" Dexter shoved away the people around him and went to feel the man's pulse. "He's not going to live…"

Zion called an ambulance.

Damien quickly took several steps back, clearly never having seen such a bloody sight before. Meanwhile, everyone else had run outside the house to heave their stomach contents out. They had pretty much ruined the crime scene.

"The murderer was able to calculate how long it'd take for this victim to die… "Dexter said in a panicked tone as he knelt on the floor. "He knew what time we'd arrive and what time we'd find this victim. He wanted us to watch him die..."

Just like how the murderer had done to Sophia.

I walked forward, feeling numb as I looked at the body. "It's the orphanage director's husband."

I had seen this man before in Dexter's photos.

"If the murderer was able to shove such a heavyset man into the shoe cupboard, then he must definitely be a strong adult," Zion said sullenly.
