Chapter 472 Unboxing

Not long ago, Damian had assured me that he was only injured and needed a few months to recover. Now, news of his death had arrived.

I had always trusted Damian to handle things well. He was only supposed to teach that bespectacled man a lesson, not kill him.

After Whitney returned, she started the process of changing her name, though it was still underway.

When she went to study, Carter found someone to expedite the process for her. The review procedures weren't as complicated, and she used the Sander residence as her address. The name Anna Sander had been tied to Wisteria, so Whitney chose to rename herself Starling Sander.

That's why Nelson came straight to the Sander residence. We'd known each other long enough that he was willing to spend extra time explaining things to us.

Whitney asked, "How did he die?"

"He had his limbs severed, and his head is missing."

Even though I had seen my share of horrors, hearing about such a gruesome method made me gag.

Whitney and Carter turned to me with concern.

"I'm fine," I assured them.

"This case is strikingly similar to Ms. Chloe's murder. The same brutal methods were used. We've already started investigating, and we need you to come with us to assist."

"We'll go together," I said. "After all, Carl and I were present at the scene."

Nelson couldn't reveal too many details, but I wanted to go to the station to uncover more clues.

The timing of the man's death was too convenient, and the savagery of the crime made it hard not to suspect Bloodshade's involvement.

At the station, we gave our statements. Luther was also finishing his own. According to him, he had only dislocated the victim's arm and immediately set it back, which wasn't enough to press charges. After exchanging brief greetings, we parted ways.

Thankfully, Damian had avoided security cameras when he beat up that man. Though the victim bore visible injuries, the lack of footage meant no conclusions could yet be drawn. Before we left, Nelson privately pulled Carter and me aside.

"Why does this keep involving the Sanders? Chloe's case hasn't been closed, and now this. Mr. Bolton, you need to protect Ms. Chloe well-I'm afraid the killer might be targeting her." "Thank you, Captain Tucker. By the way, has there been any progress on the organ transplant investigation?"
